So the same guy who sold us on the old "Joe the Plumber making out with Kristin Wiig scam" apparently got Fox News and the rest of the country believing his story about Sarah Palin not knowing that Africa was a continent and not a country. Paging Harry Shearer.
S'crazy, right? Because wouldn't Fox News have people to fact check this? And yes, in emails Martin Eisenstadt (pictured left next to Joe) claims to be a McCain strategist and shares/stole the name of a conservative analyst, but didn't the fair and balanced staff over at FNC — which was so proud of its scoop — bother to Google him or anything? This dude is a total phony.
But it gets weirder. Because Eisenstadt is just claiming he fed the story about Africa (and NAFTA) to Fox, on his blog, which we all know now is full of lies. So for all anyone knows, the story is real, but Eisenstadt is taking credit for it, which is false. Or the story is false and Eisenstadt is real. Unicorns!
But seeing as this singular story seems to have snowballed into a whole backlash against Palin by the McCain staffers' narrative, and now that might not even be true (or as true) as it originally seemed, does she still have to give back all that clothing? Or was that a lie too?
I still think Palin is a stupid, illiterate dumb cunt.
Palin’s fierce ambitions and delusions of competence will undoubtedly bring her back into the political fray before long. I am astonished at media pundits on “Faux News” that asked why the “anonymous” campaign aides who leaked the ominous news about Sarah Palin waited until after the election. Unlike Salter and Schmidt, these campaign aides and staffers didn’t meet her until just before the RNC Convention. What were they supposed to do — march out on stage with protest signs? Tackle her by the ankles before she reached the podium? They tried to make the best of a disastrous situation, and failed, predictably. It was a no-win situation.
For those who still have doubts as to the veracity of these insider comments: I would suggest, for starters, that they listen to the entire conversation Palin had with the prank caller from Montreal pretending to be President Sarkozy. Then follow that up with her interviews with Couric and Gibson. Absolutely terrifying.
Goes to show you people how gullible you are believing the media in all its form. The media is what got Obama elected.
Well, Lala, guess we can't count on you for constructive comments, seeing as, based on your language, you don't exactly occupy the intellectual high ground.
Sunday I heard on CNN, IIRC, that some reporter (one of the reasonably well-known women) talked to someone who was around Palin during those discussions where "Africa" came up. The reporter's source/s say, Palin did not make that mistake. Yet all I hear about anywhere else is still the Eisenstadt source being a hoax (which is logically independent of whether Palin made the mistake in the first place.) Anyone around here have more scoop? tx.
