“Everything is going fine at Seattle airport until they find out we are doing a film about Sarah Palin. The authorities go mad.”

If you’re going to lie to try and bring some free PR to your crappy little hack film, learn the politics of the region you’re going to lie about.

Seattle is rabidly liberal and I’ve never heard anyone here say one nice word about Sarah Palin. NO ONE harassed these people at the airport because they’re making a Palin documentary.

It was something else.

This loser stalking Sarah in order to make a buck, just as Al Franken had to put Rush’s name in the title of his pathetic book to sell copies.

Sarah is out of the public eye and should ignore vermin such as this.

I went to The Mail and read the article. This reads like a kid's report that never actually went on the field trip, but made up stuff and added in things he read elsewhere. And this is journalism to The Mail?

To wit:

Everything is going fine at Seattle airport until they find out we are doing a film about Sarah Palin. The authorities go mad. They search our bags and detain my two researchers.

They first change planes in Seattle, and any TSA agent in Seattle (over 1000 miles away from Alaska) even cares? But, this is standard procedures for people who fly to the US and are working - you apparently DO need a work visa from the US. From a UK website, NO visa is needed unless several conditions trigger the need. Here is #4:

"Traveller is not a journalist on assignment nor an individual seeking gainful employment." The entire crew needed a proper work visa, and they stayed from Oct 24 - Dec 19. So they knew something about the rules.

My cover for the documentary is blown.

No, you need to legally declare your intentions when you apply for a work visa.

the Wasilla branch of Homeland Security ... has been told all about us.

Sorry, but the federal gov't does not seem to have a Wasilla branch in place to watch over you, Nicky. There is a local LEPC, but they tend to work mostly with the EPA ... probably not staffed with Palin supporters.

Wasilla is Alaska’s methamphetamine capital.

Very snarky, little Nicky. I am sure that you fully support the WOD. That line comes directly from an old blogger Wonkette, and has been repeated by every liberal blogger around. More current stats on Wasilla, a suburb of a large city:

"Wasilla, Alaska is home to 9,780 people. The police will make roughly 60 arrests this year for drug charges and 40 arrests for DUIs. Wasilla, Alaska is no stranger to substance abuse with 490 marijuana users, 195 people who abuse prescription drugs, 80 people who use some form of cocaine living in its community."

Not perfect, but hardly a raging epidemic.

... but all those superstores and the freeway plunging through the town have messed things up. ... (photo caption) Destroyed: Once-pretty Wasilla was wrecked by planners ... I genuinely admire Sarah’s celebration of the outdoors. Yet as Mayor of Wasilla, she deregulated planning laws to allow the complete destruction of what once had been a very pretty town.

Not even sure what to say, since he is coming from the UK, where central planners have destroyed a once-freedom loving society.

A single moose keeps a family for an entire winter.

Yes, he really said this, discussing a "dinner party" which included Colleen Cottle. I suspect that this sentence wasn't the only hyperbole in the article.

To stay healthy, we hit Dinali’s gym. Every morning, at 6.15am, we don shorts and jump into our Ford Focus, the tyres studded with nails for the icy roads.

Ummm ... after all the whiskey they enjoyed, I would hope that they stay off the roads.

So according to Broomfield, Sarah Palin published a political directive with Giffords in the crosshairs, and Jared Loughner immediately reacted to it by going out and shooting Giffords. Sure. Broomfield is a moron.

He’s from the UK. He will be on a prayer rug soon enough.

What a whining, pansy, pissing and moaning SO-a-B!

People like this stupid bitch of a man make me sick.

Sarah could kick his ass with a hand tied behind her back and blindfolded.

Yeah. As we ALL know, SEATTLE is dominated by rabid conservatives.

This guy needs to learn how to lie better.

OMG, I cannot believe I read this entire article. Well, I am the guy that cleans under and behind the fridge, so I guess I have a strong stomach. Whatever. This is a sickness of mind that I cannot comprehend, blaming all the problems of their world on Sarah Palin, while at the same time attempting to imply she’s a hick.

Lefties lose me with the swinging back and forth like that.
