A Plague of Palins?
Let’s see… I know there were 10 of them. (Counting on my fingers) Water to blood, flies, frogs, death of the first born, ….hmm. Oh, and diseased livestock, lice…. umm…..thunder and hail, darkness. And boils. Who could forget the boils? That leaves one. A plague of…..
LOCUSTS! That’s it! And not only are locusts a Biblican Egyptian plague, they’re now a plague on Hollywood. Apparently, even though Sarah Palin condemns Hollywood and all the delicate starlets contained therein, it’s still OK to descend upon the freebies at the Oscar Gift Boutique with her entourage, like the proverbial “locusts.” So the bonanza was described by those present while the Palins and their entourage scarfed up all sorts of goodies including hair care products, jewelry, watches, sandals, a bathrobe, leggings, and 40 pairs of AIAIAI headphones. 40? Future Christmas presents perhaps? Would that make Sarah Palin a “regrifter?”
[huge h/t to Black Bag for the hilarious graphic!]
hahaahahhahahahhaha
Locust swarm is right! The Quitter turned up on the Iditarod site, grrrrr! I posted Iditarod contact info in the open thread. Get rid of the Quitter, please call or email the Iditarod Committee!
Arg. I’ve been reading info about SwagGate and like everything else associated with SP, nothing adds up. Various reports cite different details, but the two extremes are the E! Online ‘locust’ article, and the LA Times article (more like brief mention, actually) by Matt Donnelly, which that Texas 4 Palin site is using as proof positive Sarah is a saint for giving back all the goodies to be auctioned off for charity … at least that’s what he says someone told him. No other mention of that is found anywhere.
Most curious is when you link to the ‘we want a retraction’ press release supposedly from the organizers, The Silver Spoon: the letter comes up linked from the C 4 P website. If you go to The Silver Spoon’s own website, there’s zero, nada, diddly and squat about the event, much less Palin ever having been there. No pictures. And no call for a retraction from anyone for anything.
If I were a Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy Theorist, I might think that someone (or someones) fabricated and then leaked all the details in the E! Online article just so that someone(s) then be indignant against them. And I might think that someone may have photoshopped The Silver Spoon logo and created the statement calling for a retraction and apology mysteriously only to be found on C 4 P (that I am currently aware of).
But then, that’s all just too crazy to be believed, isn’t it?
Well, plenty of mudpups have opined that s’error palin appears to be a bit to swarmy for their comfort. …
Ironic how $P and her entourage of locusts take a leaf out of the Book of Exodus not long before Passover. At each Passover seder, the plagues are intoned one at a time (they sound more spooky in Hebrew), while the listeners use a finger to place a drop of wine or grape juice on their dinner plate for each plague:
BLOOD!
FROGS!
LICE!
WILD BEASTS!
CATTLE DISEASE!
BOILS!
HAIL!
LOCUSTS!
DARKNESS!
SLAYING OF THE FIRST-BORN (poor Track Menard)!
Regrifter–another one for the lexicon!
She has no class. She is trash.
Terpsichore – I noted that as well. What clever bunnies they are over at C4P. It even turned up as a comment on IM totally out of context.
Great picture of the Wasilla Trailer Trash : )
Next version, show the locust carrying silver spoon gift bags!
It says that security swept through the place and no cameras were allowed. Say what? Why is a private citizen being given the power to decide whether cameras are allowed…..at a Hollywood “celebrity” event?
That’s all she is….a money grabbing celebrity.
She is starting to show her true self to all . Ya know it’s hard acting like another person who you are not and lying all the time. Be true to yourself Sarah ….Let it loose……..Be free………take a deep breath and let it out. LOL
The Silver Spoon???? claims now that she was only 15 minutes early, and they are there an hour early, so it was not a big deal, that she most graciously accepted proferred gifts, has a beautiful skin, and that she gave a sizable donation (unspecified) etc. Very nicey nice.
They didn’t say so immediatly.
They are covering their a$$’s, after all its their business.
Knowing $arah isn’t it in character that she only took 2? headphones, for herself and Willow. And in her usual magnificent generousity with other peoples money , she insisted her entourage be gifted. If there were 20 people, @ 2 headphones per person ,perhaps that would translate to 40 headphones. Only the headphone people know the number that were accepted so graciously.
Who knows, we weren’t there.
Everyone is making nicey, nicey because of the outraged response.
Apologies demanded all over the place by her supporters. I doubt anyone will apologize.
People have $$$$$arahs number and it seems to be that fakery and grifting is apparently mama gri$$ley’s modus operandi as she rips off everyone taking everything in her path, along the way.
After all everyone, is entitled to an opinion.
And if it is or if it isn’t true? Well $arah is known for her lies. Almost every time she opens her mouth. Documented in fact.
That perception is out there Palinbots.
LIVE WITH IT.
She will never, never be POTUS.
And hopefully she will fade away and become a distant bad memory.
Tune in to Shannyn’s show if you can. She announced her call-in guest will be the fellow ( Michael Stinson ) that attended the Leno taping and posted the story last night on Daily Kos that Leno added laugh-tracks to S’carah’s Jokes.

Wasilla Hillbillys for sure!!!!!!
New nickname for Palin – Mavericky Hollywood.
nancydrew: REGRIFTER is brilliant.
AKM, I think you should follow up this thread about the ten plagues with the seven deadly sins. I’ve been reviewing them and am convinced simple sarah suffers from all of them: wrath, sloth, pride, lust, envy, gluttony & greed.
I don’t know about you, but it appears to me that Sarah is moving on up to the Celebrity category….it’s still politics, but a lot more glamorous. Looks like she is doing a flip on Ronald Reagan…He was a celebrity, then a politician. She was a politician and now a celebrity??? I think it suites her just fine. Give her a reality show to star in. Giver her makeovers and swag…write another book for her, give her tons of money to do whatever…just keep her out of public office. Please.
Agree she suffers from all the seven deadly sins. And she has schooled her children to follow in her path.
If she didn’t pretend to be the complete opposite, who would care.
A total fraud in every way.
Lets talk about this instead:
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/03/sarah-palins-newest-gig-making-mystik.html
Must need all those “ear buds” for those ruffled ears.
More money (gifts) going to the charity she chooses. Hmmmm
Lets think about this for a moment ….
We donate via “taxes” to our various government entities. (Local / State / Federal) We assume they (the government) are doing the right thing with our money – eliminating No Bid Contracts, avoiding war, aiding those less fortunate, building our infastructure, educating our children, protecting us with military, fire departments & police, etc.
Now – in the former half term gov’s world – she collects cash & materials via “donations” to other “charities/politicians/family” Those that give to her, assume she is doing the right thing, like buying more of her own books, giving a plate of homemade cookies to the hungry, building cabins, chartering planes while staff members spend nights driving cross country, while she hires private security to protect her & hers, etc.
Why should I trust her with my hard earned money?
Great Picture that says it all.
Klepto or grifter….no she is not going to regift them.
Hollywierd is a dog eat dog world , and sarah is wearing milkbone panties.
Let the games begin !!
Here is the Palin Piggy Posse snarfling for food. Note the kitty on the post watching.
http://i.imgur.com/tT1uW.jpg
AND STILL there are people that think this lump-o-flesh can do no harm – EVER! Just mind-numbing…
How does this NOT get reported in the ADN and then have people rise up in disgust about this twit?? I just don’t get it anymore…
Get the Locust Queen off the Iditarod website! YES WE CAN! (sorry for caps, but I’m dead serious about this)

“yer one” is a langer.
So in other words, Mystic Lubricant is cold weather AstroGlide for snow machines….guess we need Sarah to explain this stuff to all of us that don’t live up there in Alaaassska.
We’ve heard that to be fascinated with Palin is akin to watching a car wreck…at least that’s one explanation. For another, take a look at this one:
http://www.newser.com/off-the-grid/post/412/does-silvio-berlusconi-explain-sarah-palin.html
Don’t cry for me oh Wasilla
Its not that I don’t love you
You have your meth labs
Your toothless neighbors
and theres the dead lake
and tax free cabins
But you know,
you don’t have the stuff I need
Nowhere in this cold freaking place
can a girl like me get a decent tan
I tried to tell you
but you just wouldn’t let me
do what I want,
and say whatever I wanted
and that is why I left you
Don’t cry for me Oh Wasilla
Its not that I don’t love you
You have your love shacks
Your mom and pop stores
But not my Neimans
and need I say more.
#24 austintx Just like the Palins, those pigs are a whole lot cuter when they’re little. Hogging it up, squealing and can bite into ya just like a mama grizzly defending her cubs.
Of course the Palins end up being linked to a company owned by the state of Venezuela! Follow the money and you will see that all their “principles” and “virtues” are only for show.
If she wants to be a celebrity – go ahead. Hollywood is not for the faint hearted. She’s not the only one who knows how to shove and step on people to climb the ladder.
I still like “Wasilla Hillbillies raiding Neiman Marcus stores all over the country” best. But “Palin and entourage were like a swarm of locusts” is pretty darn close.
It just makes me laugh how classless this woman is. Pure unbridled greed. Let it all hang out, Sarah!
I call total BS on the give back. You cannot give back hair blow outs. Unless she paid for those things, she isn’t giving a damned thing back.
And here, dear mudflatters, is the ultimate Palin/locust photo shop:
http://www.dependablerenegade.com/dependable_renegade/2010/03/its-my-due.html
Palin being the greasy being she is, is the perfect spokesperson for slimy, slippery oil. She’s a poster child for slimy. She is the epitome of a slick grifter. Just get her snotty face off the Iditarod site and I don’t care where she sells her snake oil.
lol the locust pic is wonderful. Where are the seagulls when we need them? =)
fpr@28-
Actually,
Four years ago the CITGO Petroleum Corporation began to offer it’s heating oil assistance program in Rural Alaska. A lot of people got 100 gallons of stove oil, free.
The program continues today.
A brief perusal of sites like Anonymous Bloggers tells the tale well.
CITGO, of course, is a wholly owned subsidiary of PVSA, the Venezuellan state-owned oil company.
And Mystik is a wholly-owned subsisdiary of CITGO.
’nuff said?
MS
Would you be proud to have them as your relations?
zyggy @36…the picture your posted conjured up will have me laugh all evening. Thanks.
Why does Sarah need to grift things to donate? Isn’t she a freaking millionaire?
I’m most disgusted by the idea that she thought she was entitled to be there. She’s not a part of the movie industry. For her to turn up and accept things meant for industry employees, no matter how “graciously” proffered, shows how much she thinks of herself.
Someone’s not wearing his thinking cap if he thinks Palin selected jeggings specifically for Bristol and lingerie for herself and earbuds and other things she and her entourage fancied and then donated it all to the Red Cross. Puleez!
zyggy @36, Mitt Romney will be cuing the sea gulls any second now….
Now that pic is priceless. It sums up everything. LOL
I’ve gone to a few live food Passover seders, where the Plagues are updated: War, Hatred, Apathy … you get the idea.
Even one Palin constitutes a plague in my book.
Good Shabbos, health and peace.
what happened to BreePalin’s blog???? I hope she has not been trolled. She posted the Baby Questions for who you know and I was following the story. What happened?
If almost-one-term ex- governor of Alaska condemns Hollywood so much then why is she shopping a reality TV show there in LA there much?
And do we now get to call her Sarah Hollywood?
Huffpo was asking for names of the new Reality Show on a thread there.

My suggestions……
1. The Shows Sponsor will be ” Sharpie “…of course
and it will be called….” HAND… over the Money…$$$ ”
2. ‘ Mr. Toad’s… “Wild Ride with Sarah ” ‘
3. ” Winkin & Blinkin… with Todd “
Becky Mansewer (sp) was asking for retractions via her twitter account yesterday.
Zyxomma, I’m thinking I’ll be seeing these locusts with my mind’s eye at our Seder this spring. Oy, vey!
*suppressing a giggle, and most likely at future Seders…all of ‘em..also, too.*
Good Shabbos to you…and all y’all here in the mud…
and Shalom Bayit, everyone. Peace in Our Homes.
Did God open the door to the Oscar Gift Boutique suite?
Apparently her triumphant stand-up comedy turn at the Leno show was supplemented with a laugh track.
Palin strikes me as a modern-day Norma Desmond, destined to slit her wrists for attention once the spotlight fades (my apologies to Gloria Swanson).
I Guess some of the ” BIG” Name stars ( George Clooney ) in Hollywood know what is happening around them and hear the ‘ rumors ‘. I think I like George Clooney even MORE now.
George heard of S’errors ” GrabFest ” and decided to throw a punch her way as well. Granny…. You and you Bots better not mess with George. He has a LOT of REAL friends in Hollywood. Write something on your FAKEBook about Him.. I dare you. You will be sorrrrrryyyyy…
( Someone on Palingates posted this link below -from E-Online )
——————————-
Read the whole story…. she even had some WINE shipped back home….WHO was caught drinking recently in the Palin Household… ? Is this for S’error… or someone else..?
************
Their quote…
“Turns out Palin wasn’t just interested in clothes and beauty products during her swag spree, but also asked that a box of Bota Box Wine be sent to her home in Alaska.”
**************
E-Online didn’t buy the Silver Spoon ‘ retraction ‘ story either… and even challenged her at the end of the story.
“Being the butt of a joke should be nothing new for Sarah Palin—except this time, it’s not for her politics.
Following news that S.P. had a bad case of the gimmes at the Silver Spoon Oscar Suite in Hollywood earlier this week, known jokester George Clooney savored the opportunity to take a shot at the questionably witted soccer mom. At the Publicists Guild Awards luncheon in L.A. this afternoon, George schlepped about 10 overflowing gift bags onstage while presenting his longtime flack Stan Rosenfeld with the Les Mason Award. Once at the mic, Clooney kindly apologized for his baggage, claiming he’d run into the former Alaskan governor in the gifting lounge.”

Okay, the SP Revised Version now says that all the items she took are going to be donated to charity??? I’m not getting it. They weren’t hers to begin with. Since when is donating things that weren’t yours to begin with, that you didn’t pay for and are not entitled to become “charity”? And why, in her universe, is this considered a good thing?
charity is the new ‘out’ for stolen goods.
If it wasn’t wasn’t for no class, Sarah would not have any class at all!
Omg…great graphic and lmao at “regrifter”! Love it.
@53 Mag the Mick. I was wondering the same thing.
Mag the Mick @53, mmmhmmm. Puts a whole new spin on “Charity begins at home.”
Hey, IRS! What’s the value of granny greedy’s grabby goody-bag grifting? I’m sure she’ll report it on her taxes, eh?

oops. Operator error. Excuse me.
Must read this rebuttal from Silver Spoon:
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/retracto/2010/03/05/correction-requests-e-online-aols-popeater-ny-daily-news-fishbowl-la/
I wouldn’t give too much creditablity to that website… I looked at the writer’s name , Retracto .. and then to the other site he says he writes for..it’s a Right Wing newsblog, with contributors such as Ann Coulter… now if Silver Spoon actually DID request a retraction, wouldn’t be listed/sent to the news groups that wrote the original story ?
I have no doubt there was major backtracking and spinning once word of Palin’s locust sweep through the gift suite went public in a major way…….which is exactly why I believe the vendors’ initial interviews.
They may be able to pipe in applause for Palin or spin a nice story that contradicts an unflattering one about her…..but we always find out the truth anyway.
BLOGGERS RULE!!!…… Get used to it.
Breitbart is the fool behind the Acorn/Pimp hoax that was debunked on the BradBlog (on akm blogroll) and satirized last night on The Colbert Report last night.
Funnily enough, I was just watching Colbert and a guy at the gym blew a gasket at me laughing at Colbert blasting Hannity because he thought Colbert was doing yellow journalism.
Riiiight.
It’s called SATIRE!
Her next appearance on Faux…
“With my vast experience as an economist, desiring to talk about free market principles, I was in California there to support my abstinence ambassador daughter’s tv appearance with only one other child skipping school, I was able to be a part of such a great american tradition. The free market there in Hollywood lets you take things – for free, though I refused to be around all those Hollywood elite and tiny starlets. Also too, did I mention Trig has DS?”
Sandipants: Just too funny!!!
You know, locusts have special needs, but this portrayal felt like a kick in the gut. When is enough, enough? On behalf of locusts and/or insects the world over, I demand a retraction, an apology, your resignation, child support and a nominal fee from which I will not profit personally.
Oh…got any swag?
now I KNOW why she quit as governor…she can now be as unethical and as unscrupulous as she is used to being, without being accountable to anyone and without any consequences…oh wait, she’s already done that…nevermind
She has a lot of experience on Spin.
So the gifts have been re-donated?
Like the wine sent on to Alaska? Maybe she will donate the wine and sake to the needy winos in Anchorage?
$P can’t let go of the hand writing debacle. Now she will be obsessing on her Silver Spoon adventure.
So people blabbed, and when it went viral on the net, were told to shut up and suck it up?
I saw one apology, but only one.
following Sarah logic – next time she gives a speech at some dinner, one guest should commandeer all the food and “donate” it to the local food pantry. no? maybe they could also liberate her belongings from her dressing room. …
Priceless pic!–Rupert Murdoch/Ailes/Rove & Co…are selling this mincing/winking jukebox of GOP talking points to deluded supporters willing to camp out overnight in mall parking lots w/their children…in the rain, cold and snow for 20 sec of face time! she’s grabbing swag in “liberal Hollywood elite” land…while “re-virginized” Bristol shoots scenes for “Secret Life of The American Teenager” and abstinence ads for sexually suggestive Candies…and she begs for privacy? Piper’s been turned into a “mini-me” and never goes to school, but family is full of teachers? Todd’s repping for Citgo, but she’s “pro-America”? Millionaire Down Syndrome poster Mom, but SarahPac can only squeeze out $3K for the cause? At this point, even Caligula is saying…WTF?!? see how deep the Palin rabbit hole goes…http://intheknow7.wordpress.com/
