How many Fox News personalities does Palin thank in Going Rogue?
November 14, 2009 4:26 pm ET by Jocelyn Fong
At the end of her forthcoming book, Going Rogue, Sarah Palin thanks, by name, the "bold and patriotic, fair and balanced media folks" who "mak[e] the idiots' heads spin":
To some media professionals whom I admire because you don't let anyone tell you to sit down and shut up, please keep making the idiots' heads spin. Thanks for not taking our Freedom of the Press for granted, you bold and patriotic, fair and balanced media folks. Keep calling it like you see it: Amanda, Andrew, Ann, Bill(s), Bob, Cal, Dennis, Dick, Eddie, Fred, Glenn, Greta, Hugh, Joey, John, Jonah, Larry, Laura, Lou, Mark, Mary, Michael, Michelle, R.A.M., Rich, Rush, S.E., Sean, Tammy, Walter ... and there are more. I join you in standing up for what is right. Remember that as your voice is heard and your spine is stiffened, the spines of others are stiffened, too. (Going Rogue, Page 413)
So who are all these people? Well, we can think of a Bill, Glenn, Greta and Sean whom Palin may have reason to thank. Oddly, Bill, Dick, Fred, Laura, Michelle, Rich, S.E., and Tammy are also names that sound familiar to those of us who like our cable news "fair and balanced."
"the spines of others are stiffened" ...
Huh? Is that a euphemism for lying and making-up facts to please your right-wing audience ??
Although several of the Men that were mentioned have more in common with a Television actor known as Erkel.
Ms. Palin seems to be Addicted to Embarassing Herself.
Attacking Katie Couric for asking what Newspapers you read Sarah? You never miss an opportunity to show America your intellectual Depth.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
In Rich Lowry's case, it wasn't his spine that was stiffened.

I'm impressed. Or I would be if Palin had actually written the book. To know this many conservative flacks on a first-name basis is clearly beyond Palin's abilities. All, or nearly all, regularly appear on Fox News Channel. But who knows them by name? Certainly not someone who draws a blank when Katie Couric asks, what magazines do you read. To which Palin might have honestly replied, "None, but I watch Fox News all the time!"
You've got me on R.A.M. Some sort of wingnut android equivalent of H.A.L., possibly.
Go back to middle school, you wuss...
Mary could be Cheney, Mark could be Levin, Fred is probably Barnes... Ah, who cares anyway? They're all schmucks!
I bet every one she mentioned is doing a shtick and Sarah is the last one to be let in on the gag. And her fans are the addle-brained troglodytes from the southern states who blame liberals for their blue-collar jobs going oversees while voting against pols who would provide them access to sustenance, education and medical care while they are down.
Amanda Carpenter; Andrew Napolitano; Ann Coulter; Bill O'Reilly; Bill Kristol; Bill Bennett; Bob Novak; Cal Thomas; Dennis Miller; Dick Morris; E.D. Hill (Eddie); Fred Barnes; Glenn Beck; Greta Van Susteren; Hugh Hewitt; Joe Scarborough (Joey); John Gibson; Jonah Goldberg; Larry Elder; Laura Ingraham; Lou Dobbs; Mark Levin; Mary Matalin; Michael Savage; Michelle Malkin; Ross Mackenzie (R.A.M.); Rich Lowry; Rush Limbaugh; S.E. Cupp; Sean Hannity; Tammy Bruce; Walter E. Williams.
Of course, a lot of these are guesses: Michael could be Michael Medved or Mike Gallagher or Michael Reagan; Fred could be Fred Thompson, etc.
S.E. Cupp
Walter E. Williams?
Mark Levin
I guess she's naming people by first name in her book? Are you kidding me?
This is so frikkin' "high school."
The other Bill, is Kristol of course.
This of course asumes we still have a country in 2012 after Obama and his rat pack have destroyed it.
Somebody once said: "Harsh words always translate to panic."
For the first time in the long history of the U.S., a president's actions brought the world to its' knees financially.
I can't think of many nations' leaders who would want to see W come to their country. When he went to Canada to give a speech, he wasn't there because Harper invited him. The invitation came from a business group, iirc.
It would be really nice if he were invited to Spain, accepted the invitation, and asked Cheney, Gonzales, Mukasy, Rumsfeld, Rice, and the rest of his buddies to accompany him.
Notice the absences of Charlie and Katie, who apparently told Palin to sit down and shut up (except, of course, that they didn't); did they earn her wrath by asking simple questions that she couldn't answer? You betcha!
How dare they ask her questions she can't handle. That's badgering, pure and simple. Nothing but pure liberal bias.
