Hockey Mom Builds Fence To Keep The Meanies Out.

In case you missed it, aggrieved half-assed, er, half-term former Alaska Governor and erstwhile media whore Sarah Palin had her redneck husband Todd build a Mexican border-style fence between Casa Palin and the house next door because journalist Joe McGinniss moved in while he works on a book about her. McGinniss, of course, is an actual journalist, while Simple Sarah merely works for a fake news organization.

Palin--who infamously studied journalism at one of the five colleges she hop-scotched between without bothering to comprehend a smidgen of its tenets--seems to advocate the suggestion that McGinniss is some sort of Peeping Tom, as evidenced by glassy-eyed Palin groupie--and fellow Fox News fuckwad--Greta Van Susteren. According to Salon, Van Susteren claims the Palins built the fence "to protect against the 'Wasilla Stalker.'"

There's that fair and balanced, objective journalism Fox is so noted for!

And here are some of the comments from Van Susteren's loyal band of knuckle-dragging voidoids, proof positive that if you build a fence in Alaska, these cretins will come:

Good Job Todd Palin. It's a shame that you have to do this to keep an unethical media idiot from spying on your daughter's bedroom and on your backyard where your kids and grandkid play. Shame on him!

Who is the person that rented to this peeping tom anyway? Sarah should buy the property herself and tear it down! This guy is a real creep and would hate him to be peeping at my family.

Maybe Ms. Palin should move here to the lower "48" while the SICKO is in Wasilla. Is he perhaps, a pedophile? KEEP THE CHILDREN AWAY!!!!!!!! Order of protection-500 ft. minimum!!

Background check Post body guards Bomb sniffing dogs IEDs on the property line Electric fence Scramble communication airway......etc.....

This is just creepy and sick. Notice - he'll only be there for the summer months - doesn't have the guts (not my original wording) to stay the winter.

WOW!THE HIGHEST I CAN GO IS 6 FEET HIGH!
After that idiot moves out, I hope she takes the 16 foot fence and donates it to Arizona to help a little with the border problem ! Just a dream I have ignorant neighbors as well! I put up security camera's and it's pointed directly at their houses! They called the police on me It's legal and I just bring the cd down to the police station and There's the proof on video with sound! It helped a little, but Sarah should to do the same-"HOW DOES IT FEEL?" sort of thing! Security camera's tape 24/7!

Forget the fence. The Palins' need to confront the issue head on. What ever happened to punching a bully's lights out as the first reaction? The big dog always wins. Be that big dog, Sarah.

HOPE THE REAR-ENDS OF THOSE SNOWMOBILES ARE UP!
It's not good for their track, Iam a woman and even I know that! Why aren't they on a trailer? I am a widow and even I know better!

In a related development, Todd and his buddies were rumored to be logging in Alaska's two national forests to get enough wood to build a fence between Wasilla and the Russian Far East.

Discovery: Reality TV Just Got Even Dumber.

From Variety:

Sarah Palin is indeed headed to Discovery Communications -- specifically, TLC -- the cable conglom finally confirmed Thursday morning.
Discovery said that it has acquired global rights to the eight-hour "Sarah Palin's Alaska," which is exec produced by Mark Burnett. Doc will premiere on TLC at an undisclosed later date.
“Our family enjoys Discovery’s networks,” said former Alaska Gov. Palin. “I look forward to working with Mark to bring the wonder and majesty of Alaska to all Americans.”
Documentary series appears to be an unusual fit for TLC, which has moved away from documentary-style programming and now focuses on lifestyle series.
But Discovery itself makes sense -- as the company is behind programming such as the Alaska-set "Deadliest Catch."

JackRabbit Café was unable to confirm if Palin will be appear on camera shooting wolves from a helicopter while Todd drills for oil in the backyard.

American Idiot.

I can proudly state that I have never tuned in to a reality TV show. I have no intention of starting now.

From EW's Hollywood Insider:

Sarah Palin, TV producer? Multiple sources confirm that Palin and uber-reality show producer Mark Burnett have been making the rounds in Hollywood this week to pitch a TV docudrama about Alaska. One source called it a “planet-Earth type look” at Palin’s home state. The former candidate for the vice presidency was seen leaving ABC today with Burnett, and an insider confirmed that she met with reality topper Mike Darnell yesterday at Fox (where she and her family ended the day by visiting American Idol. Palin stayed in the green room). She also stopped by CBS today and plans to meet with NBC Universal TV Chairman Jeff Gaspin tomorrow.
When asked about the meeting, one executive quipped, “she’s pitching a sequel to Commander in Chief,” a reference to the ABC drama from Rod Lurie that starred Geena Davis as the first female president.
Palin began her week in Los Angeles by appearing on The Tonight Show, where she told Leno that her previous dream was to be to become a sportscaster – and then she told some jokes. She also took advantage of Oscar week by visiting gift suites.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Palin and her family would be followed on-camera in the show, which one network executive described as "'Planet Earth' meets Alaska meets her family," referring to Discovery's high-definition nature hit.

Unreal...

Sarah Palin's Right-Hand Gal Waves Good-Bye.

From Politico:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s senior adviser and spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton has resigned, POLITICO has learned.
Stapleton has been a Palin confidante since December 2006 and one of the governor’s most trusted aides since she was vaulted onto the national political scene by being picked as GOP presidential nominee John McCain’s running mate.
Stapleton said she resigned to spend more time with her husband and 2-year-old daughter, Isabella.
“While it has been an honor to help Gov. Palin and her family over the last few years, I am also honored to have this incredible opportunity to stay home with my precious miracle, Isabella,” Stapleton told POLITICO. “At 2 years old, I have missed significant moments in her life, but I look forward with great happiness to celebrating milestones as well as mundane moments with her as I refocus my priorities. I also look forward to seeing my saint-of-a-husband again, too!”
Since the end of the presidential campaign, Stapleton has been one of only a handful of aides and trusted contacts maintained by Palin through her transition from governor, to national political figure, to author, to Fox News contributor and one of the unofficial leaders of the tea party movement.
In that time, Stapleton was a key strategic adviser and the pipeline for anyone seeking Palin’s attention, including Republican officials and reporters.

I Wonder Why She Didn't Thank Katie...

H/T to HuffPo for pointing out Sarah Palin's shot-out to her faves in the teabag media:

To some media professionals whom I admire because you don't let anyone tell you to sit down and shut up, please keep making the idiots' heads spin. Thanks for not taking our Freedom of the Press for granted, you bold and patriotic, fair and balanced media folks. Keep calling it like you see it: Amanda, Andrew, Ann, Bill(s), Bob, Cal, Dennis, Dick, Eddie, Fred, Glenn, Greta, Hugh, Joey, John, Jonah, Larry, Laura, Lou, Mark, Mary, Michael, Michelle, R.A.M., Rich, Rush, S.E., Sean, Tammy, Walter.... And there are more. I join you in standing up for what is right. Remember that as your voice is heard and your spine is stiffened, the spines of others are stiffened, too.

All that stiffened spine talk is rich, coming from the Alaskan asshat who walked out on her own governorship.

Snowbilly, That Is. Set A Spell. Take Your Shoes Off. Y'All Come Back Now, Y'Hear?

    I don't usually read People magazine unless I'm in a waiting room. The reading material is rarely current in waiting rooms, and I think the most recent People magazine I saw in one had a black Michael Jackson on the cover when he still had a nose and hit records.  

     But I was led to the People website this afternoon from the Huffington Post after I read that GOP convention prop and former future Palin-in-law Levi Johnston had gone on the Tyra Banks show to talk high school tundra sex, which is known is Alaska as "abstinence." 

     It seems that a disapproving Jesus must've muted ESPN long enough to  jump on the horn with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, because the L'il Maverick spit out a snotty statement quicker than the First Dude could gas up the snowmachine.

     From People:

     Levi Johnston is in big trouble at the Sarah Palin household. 

     After taking about sex on The Tyra Banks Show, Johnston – the 18-year-old father of Bristol Palin's baby – was hit with a blistering response from Bristol's mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. 
     "Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship," says the statement from the Palin family rep. 
     "Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence," the statement continues. "It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child." 
      The statement ends, saying, "Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions." 
      In the show airing April 6, Johnston tells Tyra Banks that he believes Sarah Palin knew he and Bristol, 18, were having sex when they lived under her roof. "I'm pretty sure she probably knew. Moms are pretty smart," Johnston says. 
      The couple, who were high school sweethearts, planned to wed after graduating – but ended up splitting earlier this year. At the time, Johnston told Good Morning America that he needed to mature before getting married. 

      In other snowbilly hijinks:  

      The half sister of Palin's husband Todd was accused of breaking into the same Wasilla, Alaska, house twice to steal money, the Associated Press reports. Diana Palin, 35, was charged with felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal trespass and theft stemming from two break-ins this week.

     According to the Anchorage Daily News, she remained jailed at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility in Palmer in lieu of $10,000 bail and court-approved third party custodian.

       Diana and her husband, Scott McLean, live in a different neighborhood from the location of the home she is accused of burglarizing.

       McLean said Friday he didn’t recognize the street where his wife was arrested and had no idea why she might do what police say she did. McLean described Diana Palin asa stay-at-home mom who takes good care of their two young children.

       McLean said he got a call Thursday around 10:30 a.m. from police, asking him to come pick up their 4-year-old daughter, and has heard nothing since.
