Sarah Palin's penchant for duplicity followed her to Hollywood and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, on which she predictably praised the Tea Party Movement and heralded "the fairness, the balance" at Fox News. She even did a stilted turn as a stand-up comic--dishing out sophomoric digs at Congress and the White House while joking about eating moose. Hardy har.
Palin's appearance boosted Leno's ratings and drew lots of ink from the very mainstream media that she so despises--though neither her host nor the dreaded MSM called her on a bold-faced lie she uttered in the middle of her cozy tete-a-tete with the newly recycled Leno.
Apparently, John McCain's former running mate just can't seem to help herself when it comes to doling out deceit.
Palin, of course, has made a career out of playing the victim, and she went into the act once again with Leno, whining about how her recent Family Guy imbroglio didn't provide "an opportunity" for her "to follow up and kind of elaborate" on the issue.
Say what? She's got a special slot as a "contributor" on Fox News, where the likes of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and her new tag-team partner Glenn Beck lob softballs to her while she's standing in the snow in Wasilla. No opportunity, Ms. Palin? Really?
But the real lie came with her explanation of how the controversy got started. She claimed it began by...
a special-needs family asking me what I thought about the episode. I commented and then that gets out there in the blogosphere, it gets out there in the different forms of the mediums [sic] that we have today. And then it's left there--not an opportunity for me to follow up and kind of elaborate on what I really meant and what I really thought of the thing.
She commented? It gets out there in the blogosphere? As if Palin played no role? While she may indeed have been asked "to comment," Palin posted the Family Guy complaint on her Facebook page. She also posted a response from her daughter Bristol (who she wants the media "to leave alone.") She then gave a very angry interview about it to Fox News. She's the one who made it an issue. She's the one who sent it "out there in the blogosphere." And she has had every opportunity to follow up and elaborate--on her Facebook page, on Faux News, on Leno. And she never did. Not because she didn't have the opportunity. But because she chose not to.
It's yet another Palin lie.
Moreover, Dave Itzkoff of the New York Times pointed out that the paper "had previously sought comment from Ms. Palin about the Family Guy episode...but neither her press representative nor her political action committee replied to requests." No opportunity? Who does she think she's fooling?
It's kind of like the "Bridge to Nowhere" which she didn't oppose...then did oppose. She didn't have the opportunity....but then she had the opportunity. And she didn't take it--"to follow up and kind of elaborate"--whatever "kind of elaborate" means.

Smaller Less Intrusive Government...until they are in office when they EXPLODE the debt & deficits.
Personal Freedom...unless you are a woman, a minority or Democrat....then they want to get in between your legs, your ears or your mind! These people are a bad joke!
Actually $arah took little Trig on the Leno show with her, you couldn't see him, $he was using him as a foot stool.
$arah/Fabio 2012!
With her unique ability to get away with hypocrisy and double standards, she acts all huffy and insulted when anyone but Rush Limbaugh uses the word "retarded", but she insults every mobility-challenged person in the world when she fling around the careless and thoughtless "lame" adjective.
Do what Sarah Palin says and not what she does.
Or don't. She lies a lot, too.
By the way, Jay and his wife are very active in a cause that I support. They just don't insist on a camera following them so that the world can see how wonderful they are. They don't need the spotlight.
I'll stick to taking my own inventory, and let Jay and his wife deal with theirs.
What happened? Did she forget her Facebook and Twitter account passwords?
Sarah Palin - Totally. I will totally lead the world. Any world. I will lead Mars or whatever too if those guys need a world president. Or just a Mars president. I took on the ole' boys club in Alaska and I can take it on in Mars.
Katie Couric - But I'm not asking about being president of Mars.
Sarah Palin - But I am answering about being president of Mars because a president person needs to be prepared for anything. I like to reform
Sarah Palin - We are going to take it somewhere really nice. A nice place where all American taxpayer people will totally be like 'hey, hello, this is really nice.'" And then we'll take it from that really nice place and over to a nicer place, a super duper nice one. More super duper nice than my cousin Marge even. And the American taxpayer people will be like 'hey, this is a super duper nice place. More than Marge even.'" Reform.
Katie Couric - Thank you, Governor.
It's an amazing phenomenon to witness. This 'Sarah Palin chronicles'.
I would laugh more at her, but it appears some people still take her seriously...and they vote.
Scary and dangerous.
Does this joke called Palin ever reach the punchline?

That's what Jay brought on his show to do "Stupid Pet Tricks". I'm sorry I meant an interview and some standup.
Jimmy Kimmel had him right (When you used to be a comedian, etc), but I digress.

Um, Geoffrey, are you going to release this book in a digital format, or print regular supplements? Any book called "The Lies of Sarah Palin" would require weekly, if not daily updates!
