If there's one thing that you can count on regarding Sarah Palin is her ability to suck up to the media while at the same time bitching about how they cover her and her family's antics. Today in Us Magazine she defends her clan against the "Liberal Media Driven" coverage of what has become known as "Brawl-gate". Referring to her children in a Facebook post (which, oddly enough doesn't even mention the fight)...
"As you can imagine, they and my extended family have experienced so many things (liberal media-driven) that may have crushed others without a strong foundation of faith," she wrote, "and I'm thankful for our friends' prayer shield that surrounds them, allowing faith to remain their anchor. Thank you, prayer warriors! I love you!"

Sure. Because everything that has ever happened to her and her family since 2008 when a senility addled John McCain chose her as his running mate is the fault of a "liberal media-driven" narrative.
Now right about this time you're probably reading this thinking, "Jesus! Why are people still talking about this woman? Maybe if they stop she'll go away." Well, there are actually two reasons. One, as much as we'd like it to happen, she's NOT going away. She and her family are like roaches. Once they get into your house, they're impossible to get rid of. Sure they may hide in the walls out of sight, but every once in a while in even the cleanest of houses you catch one peaking out of a dark corner looking for food. That pretty much describes our girl Sarah, except in this case the "food" she's looking for is attention from the "liberal media" she claims to despise. Let's face it, folks. Sarah Palin is one roach that all the Raid in the world won't kill.
The second reason is that it's just fecking fun to talk about her. Say whatever else you will about her, but the woman is comedy GOLD. She is completely oblivious to the fact that she has no political relevance whatsoever, as evidence by her exclamation during the heat of the brawl, "Do you know who I am?"
Of course we know who she is. She's the woman who thought the Queen of England actually RAN England. She's the woman who thought Africa was a COUNTRY and not a CONTINENT. She's the woman who couldn't name one magazine that she's read, and didn't have the presence of mind to even fake it and rattle off a few names (Time, Newsweek, Ebony, Jet, seriously like someone was gonna check). She's the woman who obliviously gives a television interview while standing in front of turkey torture machine.
Sarah Palin is the joke that just never gets old, the comedy act that never grows stale. And as such, she serves as a guilty pleasure for those of us who enjoy political schadenfreude at it's best, not to mention a good belly laugh to break up the day. Bitching and moaning aside, you just gotta admit to being grateful to John McCain for giving us this gift that keeps on giving.
C'mon. You know you love it.
