Supplication and The Mockumentary To Come

I can't count the number of times that I have told myself that the screwball antics of the lunatic-fringe Right no longer suprise me. And there have been moments where I have had to take that back.

Here's another one.

John Ziegler, that guy that created his own version of a conservative "push-poll" to attempt to prove that the media were complicit in dumbing down large swaths of American voters in order to get Barack Obama elected, has a new interview with Sarah Palin.

Apparently, this is to be part of his new "documentary" called Media Malpractice.

Here, Ziegler talks about his interview with Palin:

One of the things you quickly learn when you visit the Palins is that the legend that has been created around who they are and how they live is no myth. It appears to be absolutely real and everything about them seems 100% sincere. From the stuffed hunting trophies on the wall, to the Track’s military photo by the TV set, to Piper’s crayon school projects on the kitchen cabinets, everything is exactly as you imagine it might be.


Damn, I had been under the impression that the Palin house was going to become the new Fox"News" headquarters for 2009.

What was particularly valuable about the perspective I had was that, I am not Charlie Gibson, Matt Lauer or Greta Van Susteren (who I understand now gets her mail delivered to the Palin home); the conductors of the three most prominent interviews done in the Wasilla house on the frozen lake at the end of the drive that has the sign “Palins” posted on a tree at the entrance. Unlike them, I am virtually unknown nationally and there was absolutely no reason for anything to be done differently as a “show” for us. We saw the genuine Sarah Palin and it is patently obvious that this is the only one that exists. She is the real deal.


Van Susteren's interview was "prominent"? And, Ziegler is "unknown"? Well, he's not so much unknown as he is invalid. I mean, outside of the demographic that would call Van Susteren a "journalist", he's probably right. Then again, there are all those people that saw his ham-fisted approach at trying to prove that Democratic voters somehow lack the ability to think for themselves.

If anyone had seen the clips of his questions that were designed to prove the media had swayed the election, viewers with even a partially functioning brain-stem would see that these people simply didn't listen to right-wing talking points.

As a former TV sportscaster and radio talk show host, I have interviewed a lot big-time “celebrities,” and I can honestly say that, even though you could argue that Sarah Palin was the most prominent I have ever spoken to one-on-one, she was also by far the nicest, most sincere and, seemingly, honest subject that I have ever questioned.


Hate to break it to you, Johnny, but i'm certain that Sarah Palin knew what you were up to, so she turned up the folksy charm and was willing to say any and everything you were wanting her to. Surely, you can't be that dumb. Wait, don't answer that.



The more conservatives latch onto Palin, the more they reveal themselves to be completely devoid of rational thought.

Sarah Palin, as "pretty" as she might be to some - and Republicans do love their "set-dressings" - is just like the girl that was the captain of the cheerleading team. She loved to talk about school spirit, about doing great things for her class, told everyone that they should get a longer lunch and not have to take Spanish for three years, but wasn't about to back any of it up. It was too much work.

Palin, like that vacuous girl that captivated all the guys on the chess team, she's just lip-service and no delivery. She'll do any and everything you want, so long as she can stay "captain" - or in Palin's case, can be in the running for President.

To put it another way, most 6 or 7-year-old girls know that playing dress-up is just that - playing dress-up. They know their not really a princess. They know that this plastic, silver tiara has to come off before dinner. They still know that they have to go to school on Monday and take their spelling test. Perhaps someone should explain that to Sarah Palin.
