This whip-smart observation about the queen of Wasilla just came in from reader Allan Hayton, who should know, since he's from Alaska himself: "Seeing as how Sarah Palin is so fond of spreading her message of hate and intolerance via Twitter, I think it is only appropriate we call her Twitle ...

Oh, Slate: where the writing is endlessly contrarian, in extents ranging from the hysterically absurd to the spot-on to the shamelessly loony. Which is why Slate editor Jack Shafer's defense of mortal Sarah Palin press enemy, Joe McGinniss - who has employed every tactic of what Shafer refers ... More >>
The latest Newsweek cover story thesis is a broad, if not altogether unprovable one, but if we've learned anything from the Political Playbook of Sarah Palin, it's that the image is what's important. "To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and fa ... More >>
Heidi Montag has appeared on the reality show The Hills and performed some dance music. She is best known, though, for her various plastic surgeries, including spectacular breast implants, which she has craftily used to retain media attention. Montag's lifts and load-ins have been covered in natio ... More >>
It's that time again for a surprising Sarah Palin revelation: journalists aren't that into her. The former governor and vice presidential candidate gave a speech Friday night in Turlock, California, and upon its conclusion, a bunch of journalists sounded off predictably with lackluster review ...

Since, as Us Weekly informed us all (including, apparently, Sarah Palin) yesterday, Levi Johnson has finally offered to make an honest woman of Bristol Palin -- and Bristol has accepted! -- we're been wondering: How does Levi's proposal fare in light of all of the impressive proposal efforts ... More >>
It's almost not fun to harp on Sarah Palin's online foibles. It still is, though. Today, she took to her biggest soapbox, Twitter, to say insensitive, condescending things about Muslims. And with made-up words, no less. "Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it d ... More >>
She totally went there.The ghost writers have howled, and the publishers have followed suit: Sarah Palin's new book cover for America By Heart has been revealed by Harper Collins, and now you can be well prepared to duck and cover from the inevitably oversaturated front racks at Barnes & Nobl ...

Needs more meth• Lindsay Lohan will head straight from jail to rehab at Morningside Recovery for 90 days, in order to be treated for addiction and bipolar disorder. According to a source, "methamphetamine and opiates are her 'drugs of choice,'" which makes cocaine and alcohol feel really le ... More >>
A video has been circulating today in which a local woman with an enormous Worst Governor Ever sign confronts Sarah Palin at the high-security filming of her Discovery Channel show in Homer, Alaska, about, basically, selling out. As you might expect, the conversation the clip captures is utte ... More >>
Here is an actual mama grizzly. Tuesday Trend Watch! Here are two recent people-dressed-as-animals videos that disturb us in very different ways. In the first, "actual" mama grizzlies (who aren't actually mama grizzlies but actual moms dressed as not-really-actual bears employed by actual pol ... More >>
It's a great day in politics when the public is accepting of no better a revenge plot than the one Levi Johnston is clearly putting forth at the expense of the Palin family by running for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.
Never went to J-school In the middle of the week, Vanity Fair made the massive profile, "Sarah Palin: The Sound and the Fury," available online. Like anything related to the ex-governor and former vice presidential candidate, the article proved to be a lightning rod for for supporters and det ... More >>
Tell me the truth: If the absolute worst-case scenario happens, all good sense is thrown to the tundra, and for some crazy reason Sarah Palin ends up in the White House in two years, will you end up in Saskatchewan?
http://tlc.discovery.com/The average American Sunday of many is something like: brunch, nap, football. This Sunday, however, might look a bit different, because now Sarah Palin might cross your channel-flipping path, hunting wild animals to kill in cold blood while she balances life as an Ala ...

HarperCollins is suing Gawker Media for publishing excerpts of Sarah Palin's new autobiography, America by Heart, before its release date. On Thursday, Palin tweeted: "The publishing world is LEAKING out-of-context excerpts of my book w/out my permission? Isn't that illegal?" Gawker's respons ... More >>
An award show that honors 2010s shitty moments
"I am not a witch" - Senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell, who is also not employed. "It may be a blessing in disguise" - Evangelist Pat Robertson on the Haiti earthquake that killed possibly more than 100,000 people.
And it's getting bigger!Sarah Palin may actually be right for once! After people teased her about her freakish creation of the word "refudiate," she tweeted, "English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!" Gov. Palin's efforts are part of the new ... More >>
After Saturday's shootings in Arizona -- which left Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords badly wounded and six people dead -- rightbloggers were swift to condemn... any possible criticism of themselves. You can understand their defensiveness. Back during the 2010 campaign, Sarah Palin had en ... More >>
Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" from Sarah Palin on Vimeo.Six people were killed when Jared Loughner started shooting in Arizona on Saturday, while Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remains hospitalized. Sara Palin was also a victim and she wants everyone to know. In her first public statement on t ... More >>
America's mainstream press is so polite, so scared. At least the overseas papers know when to call "bullshit" during coverage of the Jared Loughner saga. Sarah Palin's claim of being a victim of "blood libel" is so ludicrous as to defy belief. Or as Damian Thompson, blogs editor of the Telegraph ... More >>
It quickly became the story of the day, just like she wanted, but then things got uglier. Sarah Palin appears to have pulled her video response to the Arizona shooting from the site Vimeo, which now shows zero clips under Palin's name. Palin's use of the term "blood libel," which usually refe ... More >>
Just this time, OK? It would be very comforting to be able to blame Sarah Palin for the horrible Arizona shootings, but it would seem a little hypocritical since we always say you can't blame rock stars and their crazy songs for various teen tragedies that are often ascribed to them by right ...

Grab it while it's hot! The domain bloodlibel.com is available. (Check out the "related" searches--a bloody howl!) Master this domain before Sarah Palin does. Put yourself in the middle of the noisy, futile debate over Palin and the even crazier Jared Loughner.
Proof she is not a robot, or: nightmare. Both? Digital editing trio Wreck & Salvage have put together this bonkers clip of Sarah Palin's breaths during yesterday's controversial "blood lust" speech on Jared Loughner's Arizona shooting. Remix culture, guerrilla art, viral video -- whatever it means t ... More >>
While Sarah Palin bemoaned the state of public discourse as it flew from sorrow and mourning to finger-pointing, the nation itself grabbed a popcorn bucket and sat back while she attempted a curious, teleprompted defense. Some commentators are questioning what effect her bloody awful choice o ... More >>
Not literally. That sounds mildly dirty. Just as supporters. If we can rally around the whack job and help her get the Republican nomination in 2012, then we're totally safe for four more years! She'll lose!
My favorite comic, Joan Rivers, recently joked that Sarah Palin should go to another planet and get out of our faces, and that people are right to blame her for the Arizona shootings because "she's stupid and a threat." Next thing you know, Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends show cancelled h ... More >>
By one man at least: Dana Milbank of the Washington Post used his column space at the end of last week as an opportunity for mild self-flagellation, admitting that since the 2008 election, he has written about Sarah Palin in 42 column and in "dozens more blog posts, Web chats, and TV and radi ...

Charlie Sheen is basically Sarah Palin. (For one, they're both way more famous since becoming sort of unemployed.) That's why, feeling complicit as a writer on the internet in the national obsession with Palin -- who Sheen is temporarily the new, more pure version of (in a drug sense) -- I de ... More >>
Sarah Palin was the wrong choice for Vice President in 2008, but Julianne Moore seems like the right choice to play Palin in Game Change, the HBO movie that will cover the sweep and drama of that particular historic election. Yes, I know, Tina Fey already nailed the role, but no doubt this f ... More >>
Charlie Sheen or Sarah Palin? Charlie Sheen or Sarah Palin? Apparently we are not the only people struggling with the difficult question of which of those two incredibly qualified, sane, intelligent, politically savvy personas we would elect president. Thankfully, there has been a poll, and w ... More >>
Hey, maybe she still is, for all I know. Anyway, that's one of the revelations in the E! True Hollywood Story about the former Alaska Governor, airing on April 21 at 10 PM ET/PT. Here are the juiciest quotes the show culled from various experts who've observed the scary lady in action. *A ... More >>
Mad MomTrig's Crew is really freaking pissed. Yesterday we noted the growing outrage directed at the very often hilarious politics blog Wonkette and writer Jack Stuef, who perhaps took it too far when he wrote a relentlessly mean, but still satirical post about Sarah Palin's son Trig, born wi ... More >>
In case you haven't been paying attention to Sarah Palin's antics lately (in which case: good for you), she recently got mad on the Facebook and the Twitters about noted rapper Common Sense performing at a White House poetry event. Like everything Palin says, this is gross and wrong. She appa ... More >>
The cover of New York magazine this week features another Fox News/Republican party exposé from reporter Gabriel Sherman (see also: "Chasing Fox," Sarah Palin), this time focusing on the network's boss Roger Ailes, who never fails to make an interesting (and infuriating) subject with his pro ...

Sarah Palin's top-secret bus tour will include a stop in New York City tonight, where she'll visit her friend and fellow Republican/reality TV-star Donald Trump at his apartment in Trump Tower before heading out for dinner with the onetime possible rumored presidential contender. Ah, to be a ... More >>
Last night Sarah Palin met Mr. Donald Trump for dinner at Famous Famiglia's in Times Square, where the two -- horror of horrors -- ate their pepperoni pizza with a knife and fork (a knife and fork!). Today, Palin has continued in her authentic experience of our great city by touring Ellis and ... More >>
Maybe this really is the age of WikiLeaks. Transparency, hacks and secrets of all stripes are currently getting big play in media news, ranging from the travails of Anthony Weiner's penis to shady New York Times snooping and the Freedom of Information Act at work. We've seen the latter in the ... More >>
Remember how Sarah Palin has absolutely no idea what that Paul Revere guy did back in the Civil War or whatever? He didn't shoot guns or ring bells, contrary to Palin's opinion. But she's sticking to her guns. Palin appeared on Fox News this morning to defend her historical accuracy, saying "I di ... More >>
Hoo, hoo, Fox News is so funny! Instead of using an image of the actual Sarah Palin in their news report about how Palin was "50/50″ on running for president in 2012, they used a picture of Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. We presume this was an accident. In other Sarah ... More >>
This afternoon gives new meaning to the term "news dump," as six boxes containing 24,199 printed pages of emails -- weighing 250 pounds -- from Sarah Palin's half-term as governor of Alaska become part of the public record. For each publication that filed the necessary open law records paperw ... More >>

The Republican 2012 Presidential race, which has given us so much pleasure, remains in flux. Mitt Romney holds a lead, but is unacceptable to "the base" because he once tried to help uninsured sick people; thus, various fringe candidates compete ferociously (and that is the right word) for the right ...

Joe McGinniss' highly anticipated tell-all about Sarah Palin, which you will want to be buying after this -- it's out September 20 -- may actually merit all that anticipation. According to the National Enquirer, which seems to have gotten ahold of a galley of (or some savvy publishing sources ... More >>
And that's even more of a nightmare than the day is supposed to be! It means that, after an entire weekend of dressing like Sarah Palin and scaring little children while untangling yourself from all the cheap faux spiderwebs from all those house parties you crashed in hopes of finding an app ...

Next month, HBO will start airing Game Change, starring Julianne Moore as Vice-Presidential-wannabe-turned-reality-star Sarah Palin, and it's too early for reviews, but some buzz is already filtering out like horny moose on the tundra.
