This speaks to a bigger picture here that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy. But obviously we’ve gotta stand with our North Korean allies.Sarah Palin

I’m sure some people see social networking as the ability to be that much more graphic and hateful than they would otherwise be in a more visible, responsible and/or accountable setting. This image is a prime example, coming from an Anne Coulter tweet of “her new church” favorited by the SarahPalinUSA tweet account today.

Everything That Is Wrong With Our Media
Sarah Palin releases a web video in which she pays women to dress like bears and pretend to maul socialism or something.
Cable news covers it ad nauseum, and justifies its coverage by saying everyone’s talking about it, even though “everyone” literally only means the people who are talking about how much everyone else is talking about it. The discussion of the discussion is then discussed on Politico, which then uses the completely self-referential dialogue to point out how Sarah Palin is rehabilitating her image and winning the day.
Meanwhile, it is apparently pretty much okay in America to shoot a man laying on the ground in the back because you’re too frightened to check to make sure you’re inappropriately tazing him rather than killing him.
If only Oscar Grant had been savvy enough to release a web ad…

b) We are a sick, sad, stupid culture with sick, sad, stupid priorities.
c) I’d really like to find a remote desert island on which to live out the rest of my days.
d) all of the above

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton.
This is some seriously multi-leveled satire. They try to take on 2 kinds of sexism: the crap you get if you subvert feminine stereotypes (shrill, cankles, boner-shrinker, etc.) and the crap you get if you adhere to them (MILF, mommy, beautiful so stupid, etc.) and present them to a mainstream audience. It’s an impossible damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t double standard.
I’m not sure how many other people will get that from watching this, they pour it on thick — but then, that’s how satire works. Some people just laugh at the impressions and not recognize the other level of commentary.
(Also, Tina Fey as Palin is frankly eerie.)

How we got from the dispiriting political and ideological record of Sarah Palin — that she is adamantly pro-life and anti-gay marriage, that she is a lifetime member of the NRA, that she has no foreign policy experience and supports the teaching of creationism alongside evolution in schools — to the uterine activity of her family, makes perfect, human sense: Who wants to talk about boring policy when we can talk about teens and sex and pregnancy?Rebecca Traister: Palin, pregnancy and the presidency - Broadsheet
