Palin Wonders How Kerry Knows Her Name

 

It’s a mystery..

Former Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is apparently surprised that former Presidential nominee, Senator John Kerry even knows her name. I’m guessing he watches TV, or reads things that are put in front of him. Or goes to a bookstore.

Kerry gave Palin the moment she’d been undoubtedly waiting for – attention from the big bad Democrats. Having an enemy is the WD-40 that greases up the Palin jaw hinges – Alaska Republican Party Chair Randy Ruedrich, David Letterman, President Obama, former State Senate President Lyda Green, former radio host Dan Fagan, Russia, the good ol’ boys, the Republican party “machine,” hateful bloggers, State Senator Hollis French, the feds, disgruntled ex-employees who write books, Europe, ethics complaint filers, and some guy in Juneau who complained. We’re like an unlikely scout troop that has little in common but we all sport the same ‘Hater’ merit badge. And Palin never cared much whether she was firing up, or laterally, or down. Her vindictive verbal shrapnel was indiscriminate. Lots of Kaboom, and little strategic aim.

It all began when Mitt Romney said that Russia was America’s top political foe. I’m quite sure nobody was more surprised to hear this than the Russians, as Al Qaeda, and the Taliban high fived, and North Korea heaved a sigh of relief.

And of course, in political circles, nobody gets to mention Russia without connecting it somehow to Sarah Palin who infamously claimed that the fact that you can see a tiny remote Russian island from a tiny remote Alaskan island made her a foreign policy expert. She never did say, “I can see Russia from my house,” but the notion that she believed physical proximity without any substantive diplomatic interaction made her qualified to be Vice President spoke for itself.

Kerry mentioned Palin by saying, “Folks, Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from Alaska. Mitt Romney talks like he’s only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV.”

As soon as her name was uttered in the halls of the Marxist/Socialist/Communist/Islamist/Leftist/Pallin-around-with-terrorist Convention, the Palin machine sprang into action. With a looming entrée into irrelevancy, having not been invited to the Republican convention, and rumors that her contract with Fox News will not be renewed, Palin has once again taken on the mantle of the plain little ol’ underdog. That’s the way she used to be before becoming governor, but like her old red consignment store suits, this meme just doesn’t fit anymore.

After calling the “Democrat convention” “a bunch of bunk here tonight though,” she said that Kerry “diminished himself by mentioning my name” in his speech to the Democratic National Convention. If merely mentioning someone’s name you don’t like ‘s the standard for diminishment, it may explain Palin’s weight loss over the last couple years.

“How does he even know my name?” the breathless former Governor, VP nominee, best-selling author, reality TV show star, Fox News commentator, and media magnet wanted to know.

“I mean aren’t these guys supposed to be these bigwig elites who don’t waste their time on the little people like me, me representing the average American who yeah I did say in Alaska you can see Russia from our land base and I was making the point that we are strategically located on the globe and when it comes to transportation corridors and resources that are shared and fought over, Alaska and I as the governor, had known what I was doing in dealing with some international issues that had to do with our resources that could help secure the nation… So it’s funny that he would take a little pot shot like that, but it’s funny he even knows my name. ”

Funny strange, or funny ‘haha?’ Or funny delusional*?

She also says other things, and attempts to answer questions for which she has no idea of the answer. Here it is for your viewing pleasure.

    How dare these people not behave the way I mischaracterize them? If I call someone a bigwig elite who doesn’t waste his time on little people, it’s not fair for him to deliberately fail to live up to that!

    Hey Mud….

    EVERYBODY knows the answer to that silly question. It’s scribbled (stenciled) on every men’s public bathroom wall in the US.

    Next question.

    • Law Dog says:

      Well now she wants Mitt Romney to call President Obama a Socialist…roll the eyes…will it ever end?

  3. StElias says:

    I believe it rather nice that old John gave Sara a mention. After all, Paul Ryan is making her look good.

    Ryan and Palin, King and Queen of the lunatic right.

  4. GoI3ig says:

    I hadn’t seen any of her in quite a while. (I refuse to watch Faux Noise) I suffered through this clip. She is as ignorant and irritating as ever.

  5. Zyxomma says:

    Sarah who?

  6. Ripley In CT says:

    What a most unflattering picture of her. Wow, I thought I’d seen the worst. Now I have.

    And since Palin forgot that she ran for the second highest office in the country, one heartbeat away from being the President of the United States (gulp), I can only wish that I could also, too forget.

  7. tallimat says:

    I watched the vid.
    In fact I’ve stepped out of the safety sanity zone & watched the past dozen or so Quitter’s “interviews”.
    What it comes down to is Alaska’s Worst Fraud Ever commentary is “look at me”.

  8. When I saw that the other day I thought her comment was quite possibly the stupidest thing she has ever said – and that’s saying something. It must be very frustrating for her to realize that she is no longer the media darling she once was (or thought herself to be).

    I keep wondering when we are going to hear that she has checked into some sort of hospital to get help for whatever it is that ailes her. And I don’t mean that last in a funny way. As much as I dislike her, think she’s an idiot and a fool, I find it sad to see another human being self-destruct before our eyes.

    • OK, I take some of that back about finding it sad. I just watched the rest of the video and she can’t self-destruct fast enough.

      I kind of got lost somewhere in the middle when she was explaining math, though. It was never my favorite subject in school but I didn’t think I was that bad.

      I can’t quite figure out what is different about her looks. The glasses are – and I don’t think they are a good look for her. It closes in her eyes too much and all I could see was her mouth, which has an odd look to it. When she was talking it made me think of how my lips felt when I had a cavaty in my tooth filled a week aga – you know, when you try to talk but half of your lips are still numb so it doesn’t work right with the other side? Something is off there.

      • Beaglemom says:

        What’s wrong with her looks is too much plastic surgery, weight loss and too much time spent in the tanning booth. Better she spent the money on therapy for Trig and the time reading and learning – starting with middle school civics and history and then moving onward.

        Sarah seems to forget that she was the vice presidential candidate in 2008. Who could forget her – with her screechy voice, her ignorant statements and her talent for turning conservative political discourse into blatant racism in the space of a couple of months. Sarah Palin will go down in history – but not for anything good.

    Such a train wreck!
    How does the interviewer keep a straight face?

    • AKblue says:

      My dad, a WWII vet, was in the DC airport returning home from an Honor Flight trip to the WWII memorial. John Kerry happened to be passing by, greeted the vets warmly, shook hands, and spoke with them for several minutes. What a nice man! What a contrast to this vacuous woman!

  10. Taw Daw says:

    Looks like her explanation of “oh I didn’t know” I was not suppose to transfer money that is not mine into off-shore accounts…kind of like the hand in the cookie jar ordeal July 2009…word is an Anchorage Chief Justice is not a happy camper and a trial in federal court is to prove that…great pic…lol…

  11. LA Brian says:

    Didn’t we learn in physics class about relativity and that objects approaching the speed of light appear to slow in time from an outsider’s perspective? Kind of makes me wonder how fast the Straight Talk Express is moving if 15 minutes has stretched into 4+ years.

  12. Rich says:

    Cavuto drew the short straw and had to take one for the team by interviewing her. His ears are probably still ringing. She sounds like a 14 year old girl who was coach to not say “like” every third word, but not how to construct a sentence. Maybe that’s just a little too elitey, though, saying the right way sentences and such, it’s bunk put out by the lame stream media. Alaskans had to be laughing when they pulled the lever for this chooch.

  13. Anne-Marie says:

    Well, I guess she’s a little insecure about her career choice as a publicity whore, then.

  14. Thomas Kent says:

    “I mean aren’t these guys supposed to be these bigwig elites who don’t waste their time on the little people like me, me representing the average American who yeah I did say in Alaska you can see Russia from our land base and I was making the point that we are strategically located on the globe and when it comes to transportation corridors and resources that are shared and fought over, Alaska and I as the governor, had known what I was doing in dealing with some international issues that had to do with our resources that could help secure the nation… So it’s funny that he would take a little pot shot like that, but it’s funny he even knows my name. ”

    Whew! I’m glad I didn’t have to LISTEN to that word salad!

    I firmly believe that someone implanted a “word salad shooter” in her mouth!

  15. clif says:

    Poor poor Sarah, trying so hard to NOT be irrelevant,

    she spent so much time trying to make sure everyone knew her name and her opinion,

    then acts all surprised somebody mentions her name.

    It wasn’t the fact Kerry mentioned her name, but the fact he reminded the entire country what a shallow small minded person she has always been.

    Her 15 minutes are over but she cannot help herself;

    But then again, neither can the MSM who extended her 15 minutes for far too long.

  16. slipstream says:

    Who? I don’t recollect ever hearing of her.

  17. kateinmt says:

    Reading her paragraph/sentence/scrabble tiles, I got a little light headed from not breathing.*Gasp* Ok. I’m better now. She must have far better breath control than I do. Must be the flute playing.

  18. Mich says:

    I tried. I couldn’t make it past 1 minute…she looks like hell by the way….living the grifting life is hard work.

  19. Simple Mind says:

    Mrs. Palin is settling down into that category we used to call a “personality” – the kind of celebrity who, back in the day, would have turned up as a regular on Hollywood Squares. Even Fox no longer displays her for insightful commentary. They just trot her out with friendly handlers tossing her softballs in the hopes that she’ll say something outrageous to titillate the fans who think calling the Democratic National Convention “a bunch of bunk” is profound and to infuriate or amuse everyone else. She’s like Paul Simon’s “one trick pony”, but, as the lyrics go, that’s all a pony needs.

  20. Olivia says:

    I thank Palin every day. Endless comedy gold.

  21. mike from iowa says:

    dubya’s foreign policy experience consisted of a couple trips to far away Mexico-from Texas. At least Obama was born in Kenya or was it that foreign land Hawaii.

    • mike from iowa says:

      On a clear day,I kin see Holland from northwest by gawd Ioway. Where else does one find windmills? Or wuz Don Coyote seriously messed up?

  22. Kris says:

    1 minute into this and I can’t watch such drivel……………Ugh!

  23. Buffalogal says:

    LOVE the photo choice . Perfect ! (still laughing)

  24. Lacy Lady says:

    I just watched the video.
    I am now on my way to the ER——pray for me!

  25. bob says:

    She is sooooooo dumb. BTW proves only dumb folks are on Fox.
