I believe we mentioned in last week's episode that the fickle TBers might not take too kindly to the Cuda hooking up with McCain. We figgered that with the new hottie from Mass in town, they'd figger, "Who needs Sarah if she's gonna hang out with people we don't like?" I asked, if memory serves, "How will her fans take this? As a step up or a betrayal?" Well, b's & g's, we have our answer and "steps up" aren't part of it. (Via Mark at Norwegianity)
[W]hen Palin announced last week that she would campaign for McCain in his reelection primary battle against ultra-conservative former congressman J.D. Hayworth, some of her most vocal supporters were outraged that she would endorse McCain, who they see as a Republican in Name Only (RINO).
On Friday, Paul Streitz, the co-founder of the 2012 Draft Sarah Committee — a group trying to get Palin to run for president in 2012 — sent out an e-mail slamming Palin for supporting McCain:
She has now chose to align herself with several bad actors. What should this be called, the Rinoization of Sarah Palin. [...]
She is certainly entitled to write a book and make money for her and her family, but other than what has she has done to support Republican and patriotic candidates. … Perhaps, Sarah was too busy talking to her agent about her Fox deal. Where the hell was Sarah?
Streitz is no longer involved with the Draft Sarah Committee, which condemned his e-mail, but he is not alone in his view. Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin wrote on her blog that “Tea Party activists are rightly outraged by Sarah Palin’s decision to campaign for McCain, whose entrenched incumbency and progressive views are anathema to the movement.”
(emphasis in the original)
Uh-oh. Teh Cuda pissed off the Dragon Lady. That's not good. But Sarah is taking command, going on Hannity 's hatefest to identify herself with Hottie Scottie. Or at least try to.
HANNITY: Well, what do you think? Is this a bellwether of the 2010 elections. First it's Virginia, and New Jersey, now Massachusetts. What does it mean?
PALIN: You bet. This is, and there is more of it to come. The momentum that's on the side of the people. We're going to work hard to get the values and the policies back in place to get our country back to work.
And that's what Scott Brown's campaign represented.
No, it didn't, but why should we expect Cuda Girl to be any more accurate than the rest of the media?
And just so you know we haven't lost our original Tina Fey-ish gobbledygooked airhead, here's what she sounded like on the phone with Hannity:
I think there are so many people with high hopes for a positive change that was going to be ushered in. And there's a lot of disappointment. Now what we have to be aware of, though, is the tactics that I believe will happen next on the heels of Scott Brown's election and the shake-up there in New Jersey, and elsewhere on the east coast.
I think next what we're going to see Obama have to shift towards is more lip service given to the American people in terms of he and the White House claiming that they understand people's frustration but the problem is Americans, at this point, I believe are frustrated with the White House, with Obama's administration and — I want to make people to be aware of the lip serve from D.C. saying, yes, we understand the people's frustration.
That first graf almost makes sense, sort of, but anybody who can unpack that second set of incoherent phrase-shuffling will get a signed photo of Sarah with her Viking cohort (see above). Hard to believe Norwegians would be Cuda Fans but pictures don't lie, right?
To get back to the main event, it remains to be seen what's going to happen when the TB find out that Hottie Scottie is a HUGE McCain fan. Back to el drawing board?
Oh, how sharper than a serpent's tooth is the ingratitude of a disappointed Teabagger.
