LA Times: Sarah Palin's vulgar tweets: Not funny or effective (w/Poll to FReep)
The Los Angeles Times' LA Now ^ | April 29, 2013 | Robin Abcarian

Sarah Palin reared her head in American airspace this weekend.

As the country’s media, entertainment and political elite gathered in Washington, D.C., for the annual roast that is the White House Correspondents Dinner, Palin could not resist lobbing darts from afar.

“Yuk it up media and pols,” she tweeted. “While America is buried in taxes and a fight for our rights, the permanent political class in DC dresses up and has a prom to make fun of themselves. No need for that, we get the real joke.”

She panned the event again in a second tweet: “That #WHCD was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our asses off while these DC assclowns thrown themselves a #nerdprom.”

Palin can take any position she wants on the wisdom of “media and pols” yukking it up on their night off. (I thought the president was pretty funny, especially his joke about not being “the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be.” Palin, who once charmed the country with her joke about hockey moms and pitbulls, now seems oblivious to the power of the self-deprecating joke.)

Still, she is not the only critic of the annual event; plenty of people think the evening is proof that Washington’s watchdogs are too cozy with its power players. (And maybe it’s only of minor interest that her own daughter, Bristol, was a dinner guest in 2011, when the economy was in far worse shape than it is now.)

But when it comes to evaluating the work habits of others, Palin has forfeited the moral high ground....

Vulgar??? Does the mainstream media no longer possess a communal dictionary?

"Vulgar" defines this administration start to finish. "Vulgar" defines anyone who voted for, supports, or defends this administration (or 99% of the US Senate).

She’s so irrelevant the LA Times keeps writing about her.

Media - “How DARE you insult our incestuous relationship with the regime. Who are you little people to accuse us, the guardians of truth, of being pawns for the president?”

Robin Abcarian- you aren’t higher enough to shine Sarah’s shoes. I see you smiling and following Sarah back then - she still lives in your head and I understand why, ‘wannabe’.

such parties are all fine and well...

until you start jacking up taxes while devaluing the money people make and loading up debt. at that point, you’re just piling on

Sarah, as usually, is right on the mark

Sarah Palin hasn’t golfed as much as Obama and the leftwing L.A. times are making an issue of her work habits.

She doesn’t strike me as the type to use any kind of profanity at all in Tweets. I’m thinking someone hacked her Twitter, with the plan to make believable Tweets.

Is the LA Slimes EVER going to release that Rashid Khalidi tape or am I going to have to wait til I live to be 100 to ever see it?

Good point, Sarah. We know which side the Slimes' bread is buttered, so don't hold your breath about the release of the Khalidi tape. It's obviously going to be embarrassing to the Anointed One when and if it's released. A lot more embarrassing than this weak article is to Palin.

I think that the laSLIMES has a different definition of vulgar than most of the US.

They seem to think it means “not a member of the self appointed elite”.

Love it.....if there is a poll in a major media outlet to see if you’re relevant, you’re clearly relevant .

Hard to say.

“The rest of America is out there working our asses off while these DC assclowns thrown themselves a #nerdprom.”

That would probably qualify as "vulgar" for a lot of older Americans. Just because you like her doesn't mean your mom or dad or English teacher would have approved.

“Vulger” is what spews from the bottom-feeding parasites that worship Obama and other anti-American leftists.

I wonder if the Times called David Letterman ‘vulgar’ when he joked about Sarah Palin’s daughter being raped by Alex Rodriquez the previous night in Yankee Stadium.

The L. A. Times has not volunteered any chastisement to Letterman's slander of Willow Palin.

i'll always remember the LA Times or cheating on postage and submitting data to ABC/BPA that misled advertisers on circulation.

Larcenous buncha' batardes!

If she wasn’t relevant, why would they spend so much time attacking her?

Sarah Palin is a private citizen and can say what she wants.
