'Oopsies!': Us Weekly apologizes to Sarah Palin over using fake quotes
Fox News ^
Posted on 02/11/2011 11:46:14 AM PST by The Unknown Republican
Whoops!
Us Weekly ran a story quoting Sarah Palin demanding that Christina Aguilera be deported over her botched performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV.
The only problem: It never happened.
The item quoted Palin trashing Aguilera as a demanding beauty queen whos clearly in over her head and adding for good measure, If I were president, Id deport Ms. Augilera back to wherever it is shes from and give Amy Smart a call.
The fake quotes originated from an Onion-like satirical web site, relaying a fictional radio interview between the former Governor of Alaska and Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Other choice quotes from Palin that fooled Us Weekly included, Heres another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesnt understand something so basic about America, yet were supposed to tolerate her diva behavior? and Unemployment is at nine percent, yet we have to suffer through a performance by a foreigner with a poor grasp of the English language?

I think Palin should sue.
Enough is enough. Don't accept the apology, Sarah. SUE until you own both rags. Not bothering to check sources they so wanted to believe the quote was true they tripped over their drool dripping tongues to print those lies. And, moronic, progressive of the the U.S. will claim it to be true no matter what. SUE the Bath tards!

I see you are following the adage if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. ; )

1. This will continue to be repeated as fact.
2. Idiots will continue to believe it.
3. “Concerned” “conservatives” will say Sarah shouldn’t run for President because idiots believe these lies.

If they had only had the sense to quote Tina Fey they could have gotten away with it.

I only asked because I see my hands puts everything in a box.
FWIW I stole the formatting for the box from him fair and square...

Really, all I wanted to do was to lock in a new tag line. I put "placeholder" in the post so to stem any confusion of those who might highlight. Oh well, I've failed before and I'll fail again. D'oh!

This reminds me of a line Bob Saget used to use in his comedy monologue. It went like this:
"Men can nurse. No they can, I read it. First I wrote it down and then I read it."
Somebody in the MSM is writing weird stuff down about Sarah Palin and then after reading it they are printing it. I wonder what class they take in Journalism school to learn that?

Sue them. Sue them all.
