<div id="attachment_93" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 208px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-93 " title="SarahPalin" src="http://www.blazingmonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/grunt_sarahpalin-198x300.jpg" alt="I wish I could hunt the media from an airplane" width="198" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Can I Hunt The Media From An Airplane</p></div>
<p>Ok I am just innocently going on my twitter looking for someone to argue with or see who was the latest celebrity to kick the bucket! When to my surprise, I see this tweet come through</p>
<blockquote><p>Sarah Palin&#8217;s Brilliant Media Strategy &#8211; Race 4 2012 (blog) <a title='Original Link: http://race42008.com/2009/09/25/sarah-palins-brilliant-media-strategy/'  href="http://www.blazingmonk.com/?X_PC_wlw" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/GoZQS</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Obviously I was overcome with curiosity at anyone that would put Sarah Palin&#8217;s name and the word brilliant in the same sentence! So I Clicked over to <a title='Original Link: http://race42008.com/2009/09/25/sarah-palins-brilliant-media-strategy/'  href="http://www.blazingmonk.com/?X_PC_wlw" target="_blank">&#8220;Race 4 2012&#8243; blog</a>, and seriously it was the best 3 minutes of my life! SO entertaining! Like chicken soup for the progressive soul! Here is one of my Favorite Quotes.</p>
<blockquote><p>After her ‘bang’ — the resignation — reignited her novel appeal, she continued to lay low until she became the first serious Republican to actually utilize Facebook with actual seriousness.</p></blockquote>
<p>So many questions after this sentence like,</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>What the hell is her &#8216;bang&#8217;?</strong> Oh right&#8230; the gun from thing helicopter thing right?<span id="more-83"></span></li>
<li><strong>What exactly is novel appeal?</strong> Like Novelty? Step right up folks and see the bimbo that dashed Senator McCains last hope at the white house!</li>
<li><strong>She has been laying low? </strong>Like going to Hong Kong and bad mouthing the president, good idea very patriotic. She does know that most of the world actually likes Obama right?</li>
<li>Let me just help you reword that last part since you sound like moron how about &#8220;She was the first Republican to utilize Facebook effectively&#8221;.</li>
<li>And if by seriousness you mean acts like a 12 year old middle school girl&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p>Here is another fun quote</p>
<blockquote><p>It was from Facebook that she launched the “death panels” debate</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Debate? Really is that what you would call that?</strong> We will set aside the fact that the &#8220;death panel&#8221; verbiage was actually about living wills, which most intelligent people have anyway. &amp; ignore that the verbiage in question appeared almost word for word in the 2003 Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act. The act that gave $250,000 a year in pharmaceuticals to Illegal aliens. Something else about that bill I am forgetting&#8230; Oh yes! Joe &#8220;YOU LIE&#8221; Wilson voted yes on it. But No, Sarah Palin didn&#8217;t &#8220;launch&#8221; the death panel smear, Betsy McCaughey did. Sarah Palin just acted like a her typical drama queen self with this gem.</p>
<blockquote><p>The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,”</p></blockquote>
<p>You tell&#8217;em Sarah! Good Jesus Loving American let Fortune 500 Insurance companies decide whether they live or die! We should all aspire to be denied vital care so Aetna can make a profit!</p>
<p>In all seriousness, I am actually really looking forward and hoping that Sarah Palin runs in he e GOP race in 2012, it is sure  be a RIOT! This woman has the thinest skin I have ever seen! Fights with the media, goes after late night television host. I mean she wasn&#8217;t even smart enough to figure out she was helping Letterman&#8217;s ratings. I still think the 13 woman that showed up to protest his show was the cherry on the cat to that fiasco, i am surprised that Fox news did report it as 13,000!</p>
<p>Do you really think she is going to be able to hold up to questioning from the media? And questioning from her own party? It is going to be open season on Sarah Palin!  Like hunting wolves from a helicopter! Oh the sound bites we will have! The Emmys that Tina Fey will win! It is going to be good TIMES!</p>
