I Have Found The Enemy, And It Was Me!

In another segment just released from wingnut John Zeigler's schlock-u-mentary about how "the media" targeted Gov. Winky You Betcha, the Gov. claims the media was on a "search and destroy mission" to sink her candidacy. Well, that would explain Winky's failure to know what newspapers she reads, that trotting around with a $180,000 wardrobe wasn't cool, that she lied about saying "thanks, but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere, and that she had no clue what the Bush Doctrine was, after being secluded from the press and briefed on issues for two weeks after the Rethug convention. Of course, during that time, the media gushed about her convention speech and her "personal story."

In truth, Winky wasn't so much the victim of a "search and destroy mission" against her as she was the leader of it.

Back For More

Alaska Gov. Winky You Betcha keeps popping up in the news, and keeps getting the Whack-A-Mole treatment as a result. In an interview with a far-right fan boy, the Wasilla Wingnut blamed the (surprise!) media for her problems during the Presidential campaign. Accusing the press of ideologocal "hypocrisy," Winky claimed that if she had run on what she called the "Democrat" ticket, "I think they would have loved me as a candidate. . .You would have seen an absolutely differenct and much prettier profile of Sarah Palin and the Palin family and my administration."

No, Winky it was your almost total ignorance of basic issues, fumbling responses to simple questions, lack of self awareness, diva behavior, and general political wingnuttiness that sank you (and the McSame campaign). Sorry, Winky, you can't blame everything that went bad on everyone else. Time to take responsibility, and get a clue.

Quote Of The Day

". . .if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters because that's how you get your message out to the electorate." - - a clueless Alaska Gov. Winky You Betcha reflecting on the presidential race. Yeah, doing more interviews like the ones with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric would have helped a lot.
