All of the media is now talking about Chris Christie again. And somebody is feeling left out.

All of the media is now talking about Chris Christie again. And somebody is feeling left out.
Courtesy of the Attention Whore's Facebook page:

Good Lord, media - distract much? The Middle East isn't a tinderbox today? Our economy isn't in the tank today? Scandalous liberal politicians aren't getting busted in rapid succession today? Talk about ridiculous overkill. This Chris Christie press conference is the epitome of local politics, but you're taking this live and covering City Hall like it's Armageddon. Priorities, media... your priorities are so revealing. Christie is playing them like Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

“Look at me! Look at me! Look at me NOW! It is fun to have fun But you have to know how.”

Reminds me of the last book that Palin read and actually comprehended.

It's as if she does not realize that with several cable channels providing 24 hours of news each day, and thousands of blogs and websites doing the same, there is more than enough time to report on Chris Christie, the situation in the Ukraine, and her stupidity with time left over to visit inmates suffering in prison.

But she's wrong, in fact here is Politico reporting on this very post, and revealing that she spelled Christie's name wrong:

Palin, who in her original post spelled Christie’s name wrong, edited it in updates and added that Christie was “playing” the media.

See? And still plenty of time to talk about that missing plane in Malaysia. (Seriously if you are going to criticize the media for spending too much time on a story, THIS should be your jumping off point.)

The Hill even took time out of their very busy, busy day to critique Palin's habit of endorsing a candidate through Facebook and then wandering off to look at the next shiny object.

Her late endorsement of Missouri Senate candidate Sarah Steelman in 2012 helped boost Steelman as well, though she ultimately fell short in her race against Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.).

Palin’s most recent endorsement this cycle didn’t accomplish much, though. She backed Tea Party candidate Katrina Pierson against Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) but didn’t come in to campaign for her or help boost her past the initial endorsement.

“It didn't help much at all,” said a Tea Party-aligned Texas GOP strategist. “It shows you the limitations of what an endorsement from Palin can do.”

Republicans say her endorsement is still one of the most coveted out there in a competitive primary — it acts as a good housekeeping seal of approval for the anti-establishment base and can help generate buzz and excitement. But many sources echo that Palin rarely does much work past her initial endorsement, leaving it up to the candidates themselves to capitalize on that momentum.

“Most endorsements are a one-click deal, she endorses on Facebook and thinks that should be enough,” said Harber, who worked on Steelman race.

See there Granny Grifter, the media IS still able to report on the latest Chris Christie scandals, call you out on your bullshit as well.

Now are you happy that they are paying attention to you again?
