After crazily quitting her elected position as governor of Alaska, via an alarming backyard last-minute press conference void of any explanation , at the classic 4 p.m. hour of the Friday-Holiday news dump, Sarah Palin is now twatting on the twitter about how her Anchorage attorneys are going to SUE THE AMERICAN MEDIA, for saying “WTF?” Honestly, this is what Sarah Palin twatted on Saturday Night, July 4th, Independence Day, in America.
Her link goes to (of course) Scientologist nut and sub-literate weirdo Greta Van Susteren’s blog on FoxNews.com, where Greta has helpfully (?) posted seven pages of legal threats from Palin’s lawyers, although you can’t actually read beyond the first vague page of whining bullshit, because Greta/Fox can’t figure out how to operate the Internet.
But, from other websites, we gather Palin’s lawyers plan lawsuits against MSNBC, the New York Times, the Huffington Post, the Washington Post, individual bloggers in Alaska, and other such anti-Palin forces such as “rain on your wedding day” and static cling.

ummmm no comments really… *wow*
Awesome, someone else that uses ‘twatted’ as a past tense for twittering. I was starting to think I was the only one.
I think I love her. Let’s hope she runs for Pres next time round, it’d be amazing.
Oh I really, really despise that woman so much and on so many levels…
I hope she runs if not just to give the comedians ammunition, other than that she is absolutely terrifying. One thing we Americans excel at making is crazy whacked out politicians.
The republican party this next round is looking to be the 3 stooges, Romney, Gingrich, and Palin.
That ‘woman’ makes my skin crawl.
See the Crayzee Laydee talk and not breathe. Maybe it’d be better if she just kept practicing the latter. Quite liked the goats bleating when she mentions her kids. O the irony
Why does she do that?? I was trying VERY hard to concentrate on what she was actually saying but couldn’t because of the gasps between every sentance. What’s wrong with her? I’ve never heard anyone else do that, public speaking or otherwise :s
But notice how when she talked about opertunities outside of the government, her hands signaled to herself? Ah political body language is ammusing
Giving U.S. citizens the stereotypes and verbal assaults we so rightly deserve. At least we still have Obama. As said above WTF?
There should be an “accusations of retardation” section on her Wikipedia profile. That “public image” section is way too lenient.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_palin#Public_image
I have no idea WTF she was saying.
I’m sure she said all the right words, but she seems to put emphasis on the wrong ones and at the wrong times. I wonder if there is any punctuation on the prompter?
I love her, I hope she stays in the public arena so we can mock her for years to come.
Huh! Apart from the fact that she is stepping down as Governor did anyone actually understand anything she said? I find her a very disturbing person and always end up watching her from behind my fingers as I cringe at every word out of her mouth.
remember…if ya get the L outta palin…ya get PAIN!
All this and a creationist too!!
Yeah, that dame’s got it all. Good catch there Todd.
Did you just copy-paste Boing-Boing?
Look, I admire this woman!
Look at how the media treated her compared to her opponent Joe Biden. Joe who? Does anyone know what the F*** Joe Biden stands for? or any of the political blunders and crap that have come out of his mouth? No. You know why? The media is extremely sexist and Palin is perceived as a legitimate threat.
I’d vote for her any day! She has bigger balls than any man in politics! Bravo Sarah! *(Applause)*
Kevin: they quoted Wonkette, they’re credited in the last line here.
There’s probably a good reason for her quitting, and carefully planned, lots in on it.
I dont follow politics overthere (and only just a little bit here, just as much as is necessary .. not without reason .. they hardly made sense last couple of years .. you vote for this but you get the opposite even though the ones you voted for are in … you never know what you vote for in a way …. they can do whatever they want once chosen .. the people have no real voice .. ).
“Does anyone know what the F*** Joe Biden stands for?”
only everybody in the midatlantic U.S.
Come on Sarah Palin really did deserve the media crap. She’s TERRIBLE.
@ Roz
If everyone in the U.S knows Joe Biden so well, tell me what has he actually done in the last month or so?
What has he achieved so far? What has he said? Quite frankly, jack shit!
What’s interesting is: Does anyone other than Americans know who Joe Bidden is? They certainly have heard of Sarah Palin! This blog is proof of that!
correction: Biden
Diana, if the american media percieves women as a threat to the extent of ridiculing any woman who runs for a presidential office, why is there not the same level of ridicule aimed at Hilary Clinton? Face it, Sarah Palin was and still is an imbecile, she deserved all if not more of the criticism she received, it had and has nothing to do with the fact she is a woman, she thinks the world is 6000 years old, enough said!
Plenty of people have heard of Sarah Palin, but that isn’t automatically a good thing.
I’ve heard enough about her to know she is the most dangerous kind of fundamentalist lunatic
whose politics are to the right of Ghengis Khan.
If she stays in the public eye the danger is that everyone will start to think she is ‘normal’
Leon, of course the media or “society” perceive women in power as a threat, The majority of women in politics are ridiculed, including Hilary Clinton. Just look at the Mad Tv sketch of Obama and Hilary called “Under Barack Obama.” The Hilary look alike sings “I want to be UNDER Barack Obama” The woman is always portrayed as “in submission.”
Check out the sketch. The link can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0rSeI0nhjU
It’s blatantly sexist!! Although I have to admit it made me laugh. However it proves my point that women are most often perceived as a threat and there has to be a way to under rate them, usually belittling them using sexual references. After all, what are women good for? Just sex and breeding? I believe I have proven my point.
Sarah Palin is a strong woman, who has successfully governed the state of Alaska. Just look at what she has achieved for her state. Go do your homework and find out.
I totally admire the fact she decided to go ahead with her pregnancy, knowing it was going to be disabled child, and at the same time still working passionately for the state of Alaska and her country.
I’d vote for her any day! Palin for president 2012!
Hmm interesting – a feminist theory on the negative left-wing media portrayal of a right wing neo-conservative political figure.
Interesting stance.
Okay.
Sarah Palin does not support same-sex marriage.
She’s anti-abortion. She would allow individual states to outlaw it completely if Roe vs Wade were overturned.
She charged rape victims for their own test kits for years.
She’d have Creationism/Intelligent Design taught in schools alongside science.
She sued the Feds for putting polar bears on the endangered species list, and her environmental record is horrendous.
Nope, you’re right. We all dislike her for her X chromosomes. It must be because she’s a woman.
Now then … after having read SGC’s list on Palin: I’d say .. the’s a disgrace to women. She shouldn’t be there. Upstock bitch who seems to think too high of herself. Let’s rape her and then she can not have an abortion and will be overcharged even more for the testkits .. up to her salary .. special rates …
Then we let some polar bears on the loose in her direction … and we force her to live with a same sex couple for some time (well, not really live with them .. force her to watch stuff of same sex relationships …. all the time .. get her brain into normal shape again by brainwashing her (the reversed type of brainwashing) ….
Too bad people like them ran around .. and got into politics .. and at times dont get enough good opponents … but maybe she did not step back without reason huh ….
