Sarah Palin, Mother of Our Nation

Former Alaska Temp-Governor Sarah Palin, whose five children include professional unwed teen mother Bristol and infantryman Track, faced Fox News fans at the Lincoln Memorial today and proclaimed:

“I’ve been asked to speak as the mother of a soldier, and I’m proud of that distinction. You know, say what you want to say about me but I raised a combat vet, and you can’t take that away from me.”

“No woman gives birth thinking she will hand over her child to her country, but that’s what mothers have done from ancient days.”

Mrs. Palin: Thank you for your cervix.

DC With Glenn Beck: Tea Party Tourism

Glen Beck and his pals are observing the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech next Saturday (August 28, 2010) by gathering at the Lincoln Memorial with the National Rifle Association. Very fitting, since President Lincoln and Rev. King were assassinated by gunshot.

Beck’s buddies are boldly standing up for something-or-other but, unlike 20 million other tourists each year, they’re scared stiff of Washington DC. Beck blogs warn them to avoid the Green and Yellow Metro lines where they might encounter rampaging hordes of junior high students and other urban horrors.

Palin School Speech

Former Temp-Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin delivered her long-awaited academic address at California State University at Stanislaus on Friday, raising $200,000 for a private foundation run by university employees. While the university’s books are open to the public, the foundation’s records are not. A bill before the state legislature seeks to correct that anomaly.

Ms. Palin entertained the $500-a-plate crowd by ridiculing the enterprising Stanislaus students who unearthed parts of her speaking contract in a campus dumpster. Sarah Palin would never have used such tactics at any of the five schools she attended in her six-year college career.

Palin’s Book-Like Object

Sarah Palin, Former Temp-Governor of Alaska and failed vice presidential candidate, will have her name on another HarperCollins publication, America By Heart (original title: America By Heart and Gizzard). The publication date is November 23rd.

Unlike Mrs. Palin’s previous non-book, America by Heart will not be ghostwritten by Lynn Vincent but will be a collection of passages written by many authors, including some unable to protest inclusion of their work because they are dead. Mrs. Palin doesn’t read, of course, but will include words from her favorite songs, movies, sermons, and bumper stickers.

While Mrs. Palin may not be the most well-read politico in the country, her new title is appropriate. The lady’s got plenty of heart — in the meat locker.

College Speech by Scholarly Sarah Palin

On Friday, June 25th, California State University Stanislaus will mark its 50th anniversary the way any public college in a cash-strapped state would, with a $500-a-plate black tie dinner. The featured speaker: noted scholar Sarah Palin, failed vice presidential candidate and former Temp-Governor of Alaska. Mrs. Palin is the perfect college speaker, having attended five colleges in six years, one of them twice.

Voice in the Desert: Tea Sippin’ Sarah

The Woodstock of the Disgruntled was held last weekend in Searchlight, Nevada. Star of the shindig: former Temp-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Appropriately, Mrs. Palin sounded quite shrill.

The best coverage of the event was by a media ”Odd Couple,” Voice of America and Al Jazeera English.

Tennessee Tea Party: Sarah’s Sassy Speech

Mrs. Sarah Palin, former Temp-Governor of Alaska, gave a stirring speech to 400 disgruntled citizens in Nashville the other day.  Her words were so profound that we reproduce them in full, from Mrs. Palin’s personal text:

God’s Plan: Sarah Palin on Fox News

It was God’s Plan for Sarah Palin to help the GOP lose the Presidency last year. The former Temp Governor didn’t get elected, but she is now among the Elect. Mrs. Palin has signed a contract to appear as a sideshow attraction commentator on Fox News. 

Mrs. Palin has had plenty of journalism experience – and not just with Katie Couric.  She earned a degree in journalism after attending five of America’s finest backwater colleges (one of them twice), and worked as a sportswriter for the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman and as a professional broadcaster  on KTUU-TV and KTVA-TV in Anchorage.

Mrs. Palin’s writing style is too incoherent for broadcast, even on Fox, and ghostwriter Lynn Vincent may not be available, but the program can start tomorrow. Over the past two years Sarah Palin has capably memorized and performed scripts from the Howard Beale Show.
