Iron Dog Update

Alaska's Iron Dog snowmobile race ended Saturday night. Todd Palin finished sixth. Came out of the wild woods to be greeted at the Fairbanks finish by Greta Van Susteren, which is the whole reason men have always come home from the sea. Oh, and his wife was there too.

And Piper of course.

You can see the pictures on Greta's blog.

Sarah and Piper are wearing totally cool green and black Team Arctic branded snow outfits. I feel dirty even thinking this, but those parkas sell for a couple of hundred dollars a piece on the Team Arctic website... I wonder what the Palins paid for them.

I think the point of the article is not that Todd Palin finished sixth. It's that Greta was standing and waiting for him to finish. I didn't know she worked for ESPN. I didn't even know ESPN COVERED this race. LOL.

I think Greta is now in charge of the Faux News Alaska office with their headquarters in Bible Spice's livingroom. I am starting to worry about this fetish she has for Sister Sarah. I think they are BFF.

[Mediated]

Say what you will, Sarah was motorin on in her interview - didn't sound very passive - wants O to come to AK for a looksy. Will He? Although she has bought into the bs that the stimulus bill is a house/senate bill. He wants O to veto his own spending bill. wishful thinking.

"to be greeted at the Fairbanks finish by Greta Van Susteren, which is the whole reason men have always come home from the sea." lolol

Yes, Chris, the best one liner I've seen in a long time.
Poor Greta, how is she going to parse coming in 6th so that it sounds like the First Dude was the champion? She is going to have something on this tonight on her show I think. Poor Greta, everyone that FOX touches, turns into twisted propaganda pushers-without-conscience.

I cannot believe that Greta actually considers this
news. WTF

[gvc]

I thought Greta was a halfway decent commentator when she was with CNN. Is my memory deceiving me?

[Archivist1000]

gvc: no you are not being deceived. When Greta was on CNN, especially during the OJ trial, she was great. She usually got 'what will Judge Ito do' about this/that/whatever right on! After the trial, she and Cossak got their own legal show on CNN that dealt with topical legal issues. She was brilliant.

Now, she has abandonned her brain in favour of celebrity, such a waste. This drooling groupie over anything Palin is sickening to watch. Next to Sarah, Greta is a genius, yet she humiliates herself with these groupie 'interviews'

As a woman, it offends me to see Greta lower herself to this type of tabloid nonsense. I used to look up to Greta, now she is just another silly celebrity chaser.

[Gidster]

She has inserted herself so deeply into the conservative collective that Todd Palin in a "Snowmachine" race is big news!

[Steamboater]

I would have thought men would gone to sea because Greta was on land.

[deosil]

You beat me to THIS commnet, ha! ha!

Soooo FAUX News actually pays her to make these trips and write this stuff?
What a bunch of bunk!
_________________________________________________________________

Greta S. is on a mission for Fox and the extreme right wing: to get Sister Sarah in the news as much as possible by any means. That's her thing and all she does, basically.

[marko77]

Greta S. has been assigned by the extreme right wing to keep Sister Sarah in the news by any and all means possible, including a moose chili cook off in Sarah's kitchen, flying up to Alaska to meet the Todd after this snowmobile race, family time photos, and on and on it will go. Problem with that is Sarah isn't qualified for Public Office - it's all a joke.

[JulieSA]

How is Sarah not qualified for public office? She's served in several public offices, and been effective enough to be re-elected. She's been serving in various public offices since the mid-nineties.

[i5kfun]

Lets see if she gets re-elected to an office with more than 1,000 voters.

[JohnFromCensornati]

Right. She's "qualified". That means she's a resident and she's old enough. The question you should ask is: "Why does her know-nothingness disqualify her?"

[reader110]

Well, W was "qualified" too. Look how good that turned out. Just because someone served in public office in the past doesn't mean that they should be President. If this is the best the GOP has to offer, they're in sad shape.

Palin/Plumber '2012!

[BLinCincinnati]

Getting elected, or re-elected, and actually being qualified to perform the job are two entirely different things. Republicans have shown they are good at getting elected, but have shown they are not good at actually doing the job.

[JenIA]

There are still Sarah apologists around? Little Miss Beauty Pageant has made a mockery of Alaska and "supporters" like you, JulieSA, should be embarrassed for continuing to defender her. But you probably watch Faux News so you can't think for yourself....snark!

[NoSillyName]

GVS and SP are now BFFs?

Seems a bit strange.

[MoeJava]

Todd placed Sixth?
As soon as the SnowBilly Governor gets her people workin' on this, Todd's performance will be reevaluated and he'll place First in the Race.

Perhaps his actual sixth place win will lose all his lucrative endorsements and he'll have to try and find a real job. Get in line behind the rest of us, Buster!

[NTexasHillbilly]

Greta has even less to say on her blog than she does on her so-called "news" show.
