It's A Bit Frosty in Palin-Town

Had any raw lemons lately? Brrr. That's one nasty-lookin' picture. Look at that face, just look at it; look at that pissed-off face above. I knew one look I took of it, this was a face that most of the world won't love......

The woman is the gift who keeps on giving. The picture is from her Fox News interview yesterday, yet another perfectly timed day for Sarah Palin to insert her stealthy self into yet another historic and memorable day in our country. Last week she choose the Tucson Memorial day to launch her Mee-Mee-A-Culpa on the otherwise somber mood of a nation in mourning for the victims of the mayhem in Tucson, AZ, mere hours before President Obama was to give one of the most inspiring speeches of his presidency.

Now, on Martin Luther King Day, there she was once more in all her bitter glory to tell all who cared to listen how the "horrendous" act had nothing to do with her. In fact, so magnanimous was she in her interview yesterday with Fox News' Sean Ham-To-A-Tee, that she actually allowed Sean his very own moment to take some of the flack for incendiary language which has been placed so heavily on her staunchly rigid shoulders. Combined with her warm and gracious words and pleasing facial expressions throughout the interview, one might have come away from the latest moment of Palinesque gravitas with the impression that she was suffering from a bout of more than the usual mental constipation.

Oh, how painful it was to watch her waxen face move nary more than one steely and/or dazed eye blinking as if she had sent a robot to take her place in front of the camera to further deflect any responsibility, or offer a smidgen of accountability, for what has now became the cause de celebre of Washington DC lawmakers and knee-quakers to "tone down" the inflammatory rhetoric and move forward to do something, anything, to control guns in America. Unless, of course, one wants to turn a blind eye from a few Senators who want to be able to carry weapons into their Congressional hearings. Ahem.

The interview was received by both her supporters and detractors with another groan, cringe, and head-scratching when she once again defensively explained how innocent she was in the toxic weaponry imagery debacle which assists hatred to reign in the hearts and minds of her truly base "base" - which appears to be dwindling with each view of her of late.

Once again, I agree that she did not pull the trigger in Tucson. But, in theory, she may as well have with how she continues to muddy the verbal waters by twisting her message on who is actually responsible for the shootings by pointing her own trigger-happy fingers toward the "Left" in connection with the shooter. 

Thank Heavens for such Good Will! But then, she made it extremely clear as the TV lights were about to fade that she has no intention to be silenced by those who don't care for her point of view. Okayyy. That's just peachy-keen, sweetie, but then, no one was actually blaming you for your beliefs whether they agree or disagree with you. The point was and is the language you love to use. But, in the crosshairs of your vapid vision, all you can see are targets, and all you care to do about it is behave like a victim rather than a leader. Then again, a leader doesn't walk away from their political position midway through their term just to make money and let their daughter dance all over TV.

See ya' Sarah, and next time, try to smile with those violins in the background instead of the sound of guns loading another round.
