Well ...
The most obvious flaw in his logic is that the press was laughing at Bristol Palin's ACCOUNT of her physical assault, not the supposed assault itself. It was Bristol that actually did the assaulting, and her version of the incident is a pack of self-serving lies that don't even make sense - and she wasn't even smart enough to come up with plausible lies. She seems unaware that there were MANY eyewitnesses to the "assault" who were interviewed by the police, and every single one (1) makes some sense; (2) directly contradicts her story.
Highlight #1- she says she was on her way to go beat up an elderly lady because the old coot pushed her 20-year-old sister. The way she put it, hilariously enough, "a grown woman pushed my little sister." Yeah, a 20-year-old needs a lot of help in the timeless struggle against evil grannies. And that was HER version of the story, post-spin. She's so clueless that even her spun version makes her look bad.
Highlight #2 - what about those six punches she threw, as reported by the homeowner and seen by many witnesses, at a guy who didn't retaliate with any physical force until he restrained her after approximately #6? Everyone else was lying! And then when the guy restrained her instead of volunteering to continue as her punching bag, SHE was the victim! (The police interviewed several eyewitnesses separately, all on tape, and they all told the exact same story. See the police reports below.)
Highlight #3 - the guy she was "assaulted" by - some guy she allegedly didn't know - was actually the homeowner, telling her to get the hell off his property. He asked Bristol Palin to leave and she responded, “Who the fuck are you?” Klingenmeyer told her he owned the home and Palin said she didn’t believe him and “will kick his ass.”
Highlight #4 - Bristol seemed to be drunk as a skunk in her interview, and her entire vocabulary seemed to consist of variations of "fuck."
(Police reports)
Also unmentioned in the linked article:
* Track and Todd Palin were fighting each other as well as outsiders, because ... alcohol + rednecks =
* Todd Palin tried to continue the fight - right in front of the police officer during the investigation!
* Unlike Bristol, Track Palin actually was assaulted. He took off his shirt and challenged some guy to a fight because his sisters' honor was besmirched, whereupon a bunch of guys there jumped him and used their fists to besmirch the living shit out of him. You might argue that he brought that on himself, but at least he was actually injured and has a valid case for victimhood, unlike Bristol. Also, his version of the fight, while every bit as dumb, drunken and low-rent as Bristol's, at least rings true (not to mention homophobic).
Conservatives have a hard time understanding why liberals have such a superior attitude toward the Palins. I'll give you all a simple explanation: because liberals, and conservatives, and independents, and pretty much every other creature in the animal kingdom including slugs, ARE superior to the Palins. Liberals can disagree with, but can't really feel superior to, John McCain because he's a damned honest-to-goodness war hero. Liberals can't feel superior to Ted Cruz because he was the smartest guy at Harvard Law. But the Palins? Low-hanging fruit. If you don't feel superior to them, you have lower self-esteem than Wreck-It Ralph. They're like the cast of locals in Deliverance. They make Honey Boo-Boo's brood seem like the Glass family. They make the guys from Duck Dynasty seem like the Algonquin Round Table.

ReplyDeleteAnd yet, of the four people at the top of the two major party tickets in 2008, Sarah Palin was the only one who was remotely qualified to be President, having at least had some executive experience as a mayor, private business owner and very popular governor. The others were three of 100 Senators without even five minutes of running a lemonade stand between them. If you wonder why we have to creep toward the news every day and look at it between the fingers over our eyes, it's because Americans, in their infinite wisdom, elected and reelected to the most important job in the world, a guy who was far less qualified to be President than Sarah Palin. In fact, I might argue that he's far less qualified to be President than Trig Palin.
First and most importantly: Creeder, bite my crank.
ReplyDeleteI do feel superior to McCain because a) he was tortured as a POW, pretended to be anti-torture, then voted for torture when it mattered most and b) he said "Sure, Sarah Palin can be my VP candidate."
ANYONE can feel superior to Cruz. I don't care about his college edumacation. Just take a look at the shit that pours out of his mouth every damn day.
So you're a Nature Mom, but you have a crank you'd like bitten? Doesn't sound very natural to me.
ReplyDeleteI searched carefully in between your irrelevant personal attacks for you to refute my argument by naming a single qualification that THE ONE had for the world's most important executive position. Alas, you were unable to point to any experience remotely applicable to the job, not even the lemonade stand experience I helpfully suggested. From his Ivy League tuition to his cushy college and political positions secured for him by cronies, to his big advances for book manuscripts he didn't deliver yet never had to refund, he's never had to work for anything in his life. All of which is showing today, as he has proven himself to be an arrogant ditherer who is so clueless in management 101 that he appointed an "Ebola Czar" to take the entire mess in hand, then made him answerable to two mid-level CDC officials, thus creating not a boss-of-bosses but a new bureaucratic bottleneck.
This is the problem with liberals: they fall in love with politicians and form irrational cults of personality. I have never been dazzled by any politician in my life. As a professional writer, I was mystified as to why people were swayed to tears by Obama's meaningless speeches that were nothing but towering edifices of verbal cotton candy. I kept hearing that he was the most brilliant, most qualified person EVER to run for the White House. Like Mayor Shinn in "The Music Man," I kept asking his acolytes to show me that thimble-rigging spellbinder's credentials and never getting anything in return but a song and dance. I will never retract my claim that Sarah Palin was more qualified for the top job than he was. That's not saying much; Michael Scott from "The Office" was more qualified for the presidency than Obama. But despite your personal animosities, there's no question that her resume was far more impressive than his. At least on her watch, polar bears in Alaska weren't dying of Ebola.
Sadly, liberals never learn. Wendy Davis is about to crash and burn here in Texas because easily-bamboozled "progressives" thought that showbiz hype, pink sneakers and a failed anti-abortion filibuster are somehow qualifications for the highest executive position of an economic powerhouse state. Next, they'll insist on making Hillary President because "it's her turn," even though they still can't answer the most basic question about her: "Name one major positive accomplishment on her resume."
BTW, comments like yours are torture for intelligent people to read, so you're not superior to John McCain after all.
