Sarah Palin Calls MSM Reporters ‘Impotent, Limp, and Gutless’

Posted on | September 2, 2010 | 23 Comments

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Just as I was packing up here, I saw that The Right Scoop had audio of an interview Sarah Palin did with Sean Hannity:

By the time you read this, I’ll be on my way to Wasilla. Pray for me, and please remember the five most important words in the English language: Hit the freaking tip jar!

    Impotent, Limp and Gutless, eh? Impotent, Limp and Gutless.

    Although given their ratings and their homes on cable, it may not be fair to call any of them MSM.

    That is kinda like monkey see, monkey hear, and monkey say?

    Impotent, Limp and Gutless = Olbermann, Matthews and Scarborough?

    Don’t forget to ask Palin for a job as a writer. She needs a good one.

    That is, Stacy, if you’re not to…..

    LIMP!

    I am clearly impotent. I graduated from Cornell you know. I am the most impotent person here at MSNBC.

    Wait some peon staffer is telling me to check the dictionary…

    I see Chris is doing a fine job covering for me while I am on holiday:

    by Chris Bodenner

    The new Vanity Fair hit piece on Palin is providing plenty of grist for her critics. Gryphen plucks out the juicier parts. Ben Smith finds the piece embellished, and Weigel backs him up. I find this passage believable (if a tad exaggerated):

    “This whole hunter thing, for Sarah? That is the biggest fallacy,” says one longtime friend of the family. “That woman has never hunted. The picture of her with the caribou she says she shot? She got out of the R.V. to pose for a picture. She never helps with the fishing either. It’s all a joke.” The friend goes on to recall that when Greta Van Susteren came to the house to interview Palin “[Sarah] cooked moose chili and whatnot. Todd was calling everyone he knew the day before—‘Do you got any moose?’ Desperate.”

    Some Sullivan bait from the piece:

    Early in the 2008 campaign, when John McCain’s aides discovered that Alaska-size gaps existed in Palin’s general knowledge (among those previously unreported: she had no idea who Margaret Thatcher was), they from time to time would give her some books to read in hopes of improving the candidate’s learning curve.

    And this:

    One person who has been a frequent houseguest of the Palins’ says that the couple began many mornings with screaming fights, a fusillade of curses: “ ‘Fuck you,’ ‘Fuck this,’ ‘You lazy piece of shit.’ ‘You’re fuckin’ lucky to have me,’ Sarah would always say.” (This person never saw Todd and Sarah sleep in the same bed, and recalls that Todd would often joke, “I don’t know how she ever gets pregnant.”)

    Now excuse me, I have to get back to cocktails and…well holiday stuff.

    Does she work as a reporter? If not, I don’t really see the hypocrisy.

    And even if she does work as a reporter (I’m still not seeing that happen), she clearly wasn’t including Fox News in the MFM.
