Sarah Palin mocks Washington Post for false report she’s joining Al Jazeera
The New York Daily News ^ | February 12, 2013 | Kristen A. Lee

Sarah Palin got to take another jab at the “lamestream media” on Tuesday after The Washington Post issued an embarrassing correction on a false report that the former Fox News commentator is joining Al Jazeera.

The Washington Post’s attention-grabbing mea culpa followed reporter Suzi Parker’s claim that Palin signed a deal to be a host and commentator for the Qatari-based network.

Parker had called the faux-scoop “a cautionary tale about what can happen with politics and celebrity meet.”

The story became a cautionary tale of another sort, however, when it emerged that the “news” came from The Daily Currant, a satirical website.

“The blogger cited a report on the Daily Currant Web site as the basis for that information without realizing that the piece was satirical,” The Washington Post said in its correction.

Sarah Palin – a longtime media critic who popularized the term “lamestream media” – didn’t wait long before smacking the newspaper for its mistake on Twitter: “Hey @washingtonpost, I'm having coffee with Elvis this week. He works at the Mocha Moose in Wasilla. #suziparkerscoops #idiotmedia”...

Tell you what, we'll go out to her next rally, and you go out, and we'll see who she waves to ~ I bet I get all the waves ~

Have you any idea how idiotic and fawning that sounds?

First shot was good.. as such.
Repeating it kind of points up the lameness of it.

Move forward! A whole world of graphics await you.

Spread your little wings and FLY!

You can do this, I know you can.
Your primary efforts indicate a grasp of the concept.

Let me know if you would like some help.

I’m here for you, cher.

Former Governor Sarah Palin has shown on numerous occasions that she values and respects disabled veterans. I couldn’t care less if she “waves” to me at an event. I’m 53, not 3.

Actually, your getting better at this!

Try branching out, find some newer graphics to use as a base, or a least ones that folks will recognize.

Overall though, I’d have to say that you have excelled at
basic image manipulation today, given what you have to work with.

Let the butthurt FLOW within you, let it guide you.

Realize that a whole WORLD of material is before you.
If being angry or sad or whatever you are INSPIRES you
to greater creativity, then EMBRACE that bitch!

Run with it!

I applaud your efforts, they are something of which you may be proud.

Keep trying, reach higher. You can do it!

Slander is the Devil’s work. Just something to think about. Nobody serves samiches in that nasty place associated with the Slanderer.

Ok, you’re not progressing.

Take a day or two, work on it.

You have the concept down pretty well but you fail to
move forward with it. Fear hobbles you, I reckon.

That’s natural. Try some variations on your own and
I’ll bet when you get past your timidity you’ll
blossom like a big old blossomy flower, tell you what.

I’m really pleased at your progress this evening, I’m glad as
hell that you have jumped into the pool and started trying some graphic work.

You keep trying.

Please ping me to your efforts, and remember there are no
bad graphics, only opportunities for improvement.

On the other hand, if al Jazeera had offered the right amount of money.. who knows?

Well she turned down $22 million.

Don't want to be a stickler on this humbungler, being an old country boy myself, but it's you're not your.
Such a shame for someone always criticizing people's grammar, just a crying shame.

i've been around here long enough that you already know. you're just POd that I held out against Romney to the bitter end.

It's a simple process ~ somebody says 'Washington Post' and 'whore' in the same sentence at the beginning of a thread, that's all I'm going to discuss. They are all 'whores' over there ~ and don't think you can get away with 'smear by association' by bringing in a Republican or a Conservative when the discussion is actually about the continuing 'whoredom' and 'impudent obnoxiousness' of the Posties.

Oh heck, missed this one, dang.

Fear hobbles you, I reckon.

Think we all know what fear hobbles you, they generally wear skirts, walk around in high heels, have children and are generally fun to be around and not be feared, from my point of view anyway.

Oh nah, guys don't thrilly-thrill me humgun, always been like that.
Prefer me some women in the thrilly-thrill department.
How about you, with your proclivities to put them down in various ways, wish them harm and find it humorous, etc, just wondering?
