Things the Internet Left Has Taught Me About Sarah Palin
Someday this will stop being a Sarah Palin zone, but this is too rich to not highlight.
* Sarah Palin’s 5th baby isn’t really hers, but rather her daughter’s! Sarah claimed her daughter’s baby as her own to hide a scandal! That this is even considered plausible by anyone is disturbing to me on many, many levels. In the unlikely event it is true, I’ll videotape myself eating something gross. Need a pregnancy picture? Here ya go.
* Sarah Palin took nudie photos! I wish…
* Sarah Palin is a lesbian! Again, unless we can confirm at the same time as number two…
Here’s the deal - at least on the first two, we’re seeing these sorts of things come from otherwise, er, “reasonable” portions of the left wing blogosphere. That the Daily Kos is leading the charge on the first one especially shows how completely useful useless they are as any sort of worthwhile entity. The closest thing I can think of in terms of how this applies to anything is the crazy “Barack Obama is a secret Muslim” nonsense, which, while vile, at least had some sort of root honesty (he was technically born Muslim, but clearly isn’t now). This is completely idle speculation with no useful evidence.
It’s awfully funny to see these sorts of things and then hear that McCain was the desperate one in appointing her. Seems more than a little panicky to try and make these things work out.
