In the day’s other big Palin news, Sarah rolled her eyes or something

Font Size:

Every time I think Palin-hatred has gone far beyond satire, something even more ridiculous comes along.

Think Progress (which does neither) is scrutinizing yesterday’s clip of Palin talking to the angry lady with a sign like it’s the Zapruder film. Are you ready for the shock of your life? Make sure you’re sitting down for this one:

At one point, Palin asked Gustafson what she did for a living. When Gustafson responded that she is a teacher, Palin visibly rolled her eyes. Watch it:

OMG! OMFG!!!

Rather than discuss whether the stocky older woman has a point about Palin’s celebrity status, which I think she does, these body-language experts have determined that the daughter of a science teacher and the sister of an elementary-school teacher is making fun of teachers. It’s the top story on Memeorandum right now. It’s big, big news.

I wrote the following on Oct. 23, 2008. It seems a lot less over-the-top now than it did back then:

Sarah Palin Supersizes Fries

By David Axelrod, Associated Press

Media Bubble, Oct. 23 — Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has come under fire in recent days after it was revealed that earlier this year, a drive-through meal purchased by the Alaskan Governor contained more than the usual number of french fries.

The discovery was made during a routine Associated Press search of drive-through security camera footage obtained from the McDonald’s restaurant at 130 Front St. in Juneau, less than a mile from the governor’s mansion. On a tape from Feb. 15 of this year, a woman closely resembling Palin can be seen speaking intently for several seconds, pausing, and then nodding her head and smiling. According to lip readers hired by the AP, the woman may very well have been saying, “Oh, you betcha.” And in subsequent interviews, restaurant staff have identified the woman as the governor and confirmed that on the night in question, Palin very likely would have been asked about her desired number of fries.

After days of controversy and several evasions (“I sure don’t remember specific details about a fast food run I made last winter. Aren’t you being a little silly?”), Palin yesterday acknowledged responsibility for her part in the culinary misappropriation widely known as Deliciousgate.

“Okay, I remember now. Trig was kicking away something fierce, and I really had a craving for a double cheeseburger,” the former beauty queen and killer of defenseless animals admitted. “Usually I try to eat pretty healthy, but every once in a while you gotta treat yourself. And I figured the little guy wouldn’t mind. Todd said he wasn’t really hungry, but he could eat some fries maybe. So when the gal asked if I wanted to supersize it, I figured we could just split the fries. Those things are so tasty.”

During an appearance in Indianapolis today, President Obama — delivering his speech in front of his usual backdrop, an enormous solid-gold statue of himself — scoffed at the greasy slob’s miserable excuse for her career-ending irresponsibility.

“Sarah Palin says she’s just an ordinary working-class American. [laughter] Now it turns out she eats strips of potato that have been fried and salted. And if somebody offers her more of them for a slightly higher price… that’s just fine with her. [boos] Go along, get along, eh, Governor? Are you going to throw away the American people’s money too? We cannot afford to have this woman in the White House. Er, I mean a cancer-ravaged heartbeat away from the White House.”

Pres. Obama then emitted a discreet puff of arugula-scented flatulence, curing a nearby blind child.

(At press time, Morgan Spurlock could not be reached for comment on this story.)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
