New Media, Making Sh*t Up and the Sarah Palin Divorce Story


I saw the story that Sarah and Todd Palin were getting divorced last night. It was the top story at midnight on Memeorandum, and had been significantly displayed on that site for about 18 hours before it finally was dumped once Mememorandum couldn't bury the denial any longer.

We should have been tipped off when the original story, which was oddly written as a straight news story, ended like the bitter, vengeful, wronged ex who can't keep it in any longer.

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin says politicians need to have thick skin "just as I've got" Which of course is hilarious since she quit as Alaska's governor complaining about her hurt feelings from Alaska's bloggers reporting on her 21 ethics violations.

Maybe the "hurt feelings" were about bogus ethics violations reports from bloggers who gleefully make stuff up and their Democrat counterparts who like to harass popular Republicans. Sounds to me like the only hurt feelings are from the bloggers who make sh*t up.

Robert S. McCain laments that we conservative bloggers don't have sources that can help us make sh*t up like liberal bloggers do.

To me, the whole thing goes back to why the left hates Sarah Palin and how they'll say absolutely anything to gin up the troglodytes in their readership.
