Another Nutroots Smear of Palin

Why the visceral hatred?

The Dawn Patrol


Gawker—the same online rag that called me a "Crazed Christ-Loving Re-Virgin"—is engaging in some craziness of its own: It's asking readers to judge the validity of what it says may be 'Sarah Palin's High-School Grades'—but is in fact a forgery made from my SAT scoresheet, which I posted in January 2004.

A sleuth on the Straight Dope message board identified my scoresheet as the source of the forgery.

The forger lowered the grades and scores on the printout to make Palin, an honor-society member, look like a mediocre student—but wasn't smart enough to hide the obviousness of the Photoshop job. Still, Gawker publisher Nick Denton—who earlier published e-mails stolen from Palin's personal account— asserted the fake was credible: "The grades are mediocre—appropriately the small-town girl scores a D in foreign language—but not so dreadful as to immediately stretch credulity. And the first five digits of the social security number do match Sarah Palin's."

I'm always amused by the argument that because conservatives disagree with progressives on policy, conservatives must be stupid.

She’s a “lifelong Democrat,” according to Wikipedia, and famously an advocate of animals’ rights, which means she’s naturally ill disposed to America’s favorite moose hunter. Even so, it’s hard to get worked up about this for the same reason it’s hard to get too worked up about Madonna: There’s nothing so charming as an old lady cursing.

Okay, that totally misrepresents the segment. Betty was rolling off funny one-liners, none of which were offensive in the least unless you just REALLY have a stick up your ass and cannot see humor in anything anymore.

Well said! She is one funny lady!

Like I said, she always played an idiot and she does it well.

: I wasn't even going to listen to the segment until I read your post. I figured, I LOVE me some Betty White - I want to keep loving Betty White, so I don't want to hear anything that would make me not love Betty White.

That segment was SO Betty White! :

Of course, that other guy is an idiot. But I love Betty White.

I loved her in Lake Placid, it was so funny to hear her with a potty mouth!
