World News Korner

After having run out of "Lamestream media" outlets to pimp her book, Sarah Palin starts crawling through the sewers of the Right Wing propaganda merchants.

So this interview is with Newsmax, which many of you may remember used to offer free issues of her "Going Rogue" book with a subscription back in the day.

So of course you know they are completely non-biased.

The interviewer is some guy named Joe Concha, who I have never heard of, and he starts off asking her about Chris Christie.

Palin: "I think what the suggested question here is 'How would he do in a presidential race,' 'How would he do nation wide?' That remains to be seen. Because so many Americans, me included, me being a proud participant in that grassroots movement that is referred to as the Tea Party. We are tired of politicians kind of vacillating on some very fundamental issues. Say..um..amnesty for one, let's talk one specific issue. When we are a pro-immigration nation we want people to come in recognizing how exceptional America is, we want them to work hard for the awesome benefits and blessings of America. But we want, right out of the shoot, them not to break our law. Because we are governed by laws."

(Apparently as opposed to wherever these dirty non-Americans come from which is probably governed by nothing more than games of rock, paper, scissors.)

Concha tries to get some kind of rational response from Palin instead of this chaotic word sausage, so he suggests that perhaps it is on cultural issues, like gay marriage or immigraion that she disagrees with Christie.

Palin: "I just absolutely want to make sure that the next GOP candidate can so excite, and encourage, and empower the American people, that we want to get out there and vote FOR that person, and FOR their message, and FOR their agenda, instead of just voting against the statist, big government, socialized policies that now doubt the far left Democrat will be representing. I want, we want something to vote FOR not just AGAINST."

(It seems to escape Palin's notice that she is only speaking for a tiny part of the Republican party, and that a candidate who she would eagerly vote FOR would NEVER get the nomination, and if they did would suffer a crushing defeat in the 2016 election.)

Concha then reminds Palin that she accused Christie of "going along just to get along."

Palin: " Too often that is what we see, and not just necessarily Chris Christie, but so many politicians think that this is the time to compromise with the Left. Take Obamacare, politicians ran on the idea of replacing Obamacare with something that is market centered, patient centered, something that allows competition in the marketplace of health care coverage. (Does she not realize that she just described The Affordable Care Act?) And yet when it came time to stand up and defund it, which is the legislative tool that Congress holds to get rid of a policy that is absolutely a train wreck for this country, too many politicians waved the white flag instead and did not stand with Senators like Tex Cruz and Mike Lee who were fulfilling their campaign promise to do all that they could to defund, to replace Obamacare. So that's a disappointment."

Concha then reminds her that the government was partially shutdown, and that she referred to it as a "slimdown."

Palin: "Oh yeah a slimdown, oh yeah what? Sixteen days of 17% of the government kinda turning down the volume of its expenditures and its activities, that was not a shutdown."

Palin then went on to blame the "Lamestram media for not reporting that the shutdown was the fault of President Obama and Harry Reid, and instead blamed it on the Republicans. (You know, the ones who actually shut down the government.) Palin also said that if it were up to her she would do the same thing, with "better" messaging" this time.

Concha then returns to Chris Christie and asks if she would support him if he got the nomination.

Palin: "It depends on who else is out there at the time. I’m not so anti-Chris Christie that, certainly, it’s not like I wouldn’t give him a chance to make sure that what it is that he stands for, and his record would have tor reflect, this recognition that America's going bankrupt and we can;t rely on the federal government to continue to bail out businesses and communities (Super storm Sandy anyone?), and...um..that..then making our freedoms fade and making our free market be stifled. I would want to make sure that any candidate, not just Chris Christie, understands the import of empowering the people, individuals, our own businesses, our own families to make decisions for ourselves, not big government."

Okay that is enough for me. That last statement may have broken my brain.

I will add however that Palin is asked if she would support one of her kids running for public office, and surprise, surprise, she would.

Do you hear that Trig? You're going to be the Mayor!
