Palin Getting Dumber By The Day

.

Seriously, stupid no longer begins to describe Sarah Palin.

“I studied journalism, my college degree there in communications. And now I am back there wanting to build some trust back in our media. I think the mainstream media is quite broken and I think there needs to be the fairness, the balance in there — that’s why I joined Fox. Fair and balanced, yes. You know because, Jay, those years a go that I studied journalism it was all about the who, what, when, where, and why, it was not so much the opinion interjected in hard news stories. … As long as there is not the opinion under the guise of hard news stories — I think there needs to be clear differentiation.”

Trying to decipher Palinese gives me a headache.

    The last time I checked … Fox has never been ‘balanced’ or ‘fair’ so I’m not quite sure which Fox she’s talking about … must be the one she was hunting.

    Someone really should publish a Palin/English Dictionary

  3. Dan Speers says:

    Sarah Palin gives English fits,
    Pulls thoughts and words from where she sits.

    I was raised in the country. She makes perfect sense to me.

  5. Anne Preston says:

    If she were ever to be elected to ‘high office’ – as an American I would be embarrassed to be a U.S. citizen – and I’m from the country too. As a woman, I’m ashamed of her – but I don’t worry, she does enough damage to herself by her own self.

  6. Scotty White says:

    Anne P, Aren’t you already embarrassed to be a U.S. citizen? We have become so dumbed down it’s already quite embarrassing to me. For people not to understand how we’ve been manipulated through media lies drives me mad.

  7. BORICUA says:

    She is definitely a determined one! She got a taste of power and she is charging as if she was aiming a rifle at her kill down below from her helicopter… we are her kill…

    Watch out America she is out to get us. Will we see the light or just live in denial of who she really is. Go back to Wasilla and be a local weather woman and leave the rest of the country alone.

    Bob Cesca tweeted this to me yesterday.

    Sarah Palin said “forms of the mediums” last night on the Tonight Show – referring to the media.

    Some say that she is study things to try to catch up, but I do not think anything sinks in.

    I think that Sarah Palin is good for the Democratic Party because as long as the Republicans are divided in to these various wing nut factions that can not agree on what they are about, we benefit. Their politics are more local than ours. JMO
