It’s sad that Associated Press used so many reporters to debunk Sarah Palin’s book, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” yet missed so many silly, hypocritical, and ignorant things she wrote in it.

That’s Conservative?

Sarah Palin Pimps the Kid Rock/White Boy Rick Drugs & Hos Culture

One of the glaring ones is her statement in solidarity with a thuggish former drug dealer and pimp who continues to promote drug use and pimping.  He’s no different than Snoop Dogg or Ludacris, but he’s a White guy.  And because he visits the troops, I suppose that makes this–and his urging of attacks on a judge who bothered to sentence him for one of his many physical attacks–all okay.  Yup, in her book, Palin falls prey to yet another rookie mistake other lesser-than, intellectually-challenged, ignorant Republicans make, falling for Kid Rock a/k/a Bob Ritchie.

On page 300 of the book, Palin wrote:

Kid Rock, for instance is very pro-America and has common sense ideas. . . .  The kids were happy–they got to talk to him on the phone.

Translation:  I am clueless, so I’ll go ahead and praise a piece of trash rapper and, since I’m really not that devoted to protecting my kids while I pursue my selfish ambitions, I’ll let them talk to this guy who promotes pimping, underage sex (forgot about Bristol, already?), and illegal drugs.  Because, hey, I want to be my kids’ friend, not their mom.  So, I’ll let them consort with America’s most prominent White purveyor of the Pimp, Drug & Ho culture.

Did Rush Limbaugh really praise this book as one of the best policy books he’s ever read? Come on.

Palin writes that she wanted Kid Rock to do a rally with her, but the McCain camp actually had the good sense to nix it. Gee, I wonder why. Apparently, they had the decency to do the background check on him they failed to do on her.

I could very well substitute the names “50 Cent” or “Snoop Dogg” into Palin’s sentence, because they all rap about the same stuff, brag about smoking the same amount of pot and being former drug dealers, and say they are pimps. Only Kid Rock, though, has a video circulating of his getting oral sex from groupie fans on the road. Yup, just who ya want your underage kids talkin’ to on the phone. Uh-huh.

Please, Sarah Palin, tell us one “common sense idea” of Kid Rock.  Perhaps modeling himself–as he’s always said–after convicted drug kingpin and murderer White Boy Rick a/k/a Richard Wershe, Jr.? Or threatening a judge because Kid Rock doesn’t want to do community service after his gazillionth attack on a restaurant patron?  Or maybe it’s some of these lyrics and statements made by this “common sense American patriot”:

* “Bill Clinton … a [expletive] pimp. … The guy’s my hero.”

(He told this to Rolling Stone and told the magazine he was stoned on drugs when he met Clinton at the White House.)

* ” I’m a pimp. You can check my stats . . . . Smack all the hos.”

* “Because I do so much pimpin’, one day I’ll probably walk with a limp . . . one day, watch, I’ll be the pimp of the nation.”

(Or maybe just get pimped on the nation by Sarah Palin.)

* “I be the early-mornin’ stoned pimp, straight-limpin’, Boone’s Farm-drinkin’, at the party big-booty pinchin’.”

Ritchie–the self-proclaimed “Pimp of the Nation”–likes to give the one-finger salute in every publicity shot and toured the country in his “White Trash on Dope Tour.” He used the thuggish Michigan chapter of crime-prone “Outlaw Biker Gang” as security at a video shoot. Members of this gang have been convicted of murder, drug-dealing, and assorted other serious crimes throughout the country.

Hmmm . . . maybe that’s what Sarah Palin was talking about when she spoke of Kid Rock’s “common sense ideas.”  Or maybe it’s forcing Michigan taxpayers busting their buts in a rotten economy to fork over nearly a million dollars in porkulus to fund a vanity beer bearing his name.

News reports said that Palin and John McCain’s daughter, Meghan McCain, bonded when Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long” came on the radio and Sarah Palin knew and sang all of the lyrics.  Yup, “great song.”  Too bad it’s about Kid Rock having sex with a 17-year-old and illegally underage drinking hard alcohol all summer long (not to mention that it’s a cheap rip-off of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama”).  Uh, I guess she forgot about her own then-17-year-old’s predicament very conveniently.

Yes, that’s what Kid Rock is all about–sex, drugs, prostitution, and drug kingpins.  When my local Republican county sheriff, the pan-Islamist Arab Michael Bouchard (Hezbollah’s candidate for Michigan governor) was running for U.S. Senate and featured Kid Rock at his rally, I wrote about who Kid Rock really is (since someone didn’t do his homework), and it got quoted all over the Detroit media.  Bouchard had egg on his face and had to apologize.  But don’t expect that from St. Sarah of Palinmessiahdom, who can do no wrong.

And I wonder, dear Palinmessiah, just what are some of Kid Rock’s “common sense” ideas?  Could it be praising Drug kingpin and mass murderer White Boy Rick in his songs?  Or trying to get the guy paroled “so we can smoke pot together on tour”?  Or his promotion of pimps, prostitution, underage sex, and illegal drug use?

Yup, Sarah Palin is yet another ignorant American mom who wants to be like her kids and helps contribute to the cultural and moral decline of the country.  That’s conservative?  Only if you’re an idiot.

Fortunately, the rest of those ignoramus, harmful moms aren’t being promoted as the leader of America’s conservative movement or the next Republican Presidential candidate. But Sarah Palin is.

It’s so indicative of the level of desperation of the conservative movement.  They want to win so badly, they’ll take anyone . . . even if she really doesn’t stand for anything they claim to be looking for. And hasn’t a clue.

“Just win, baby” might work for the Oakland Raiders’ Al Davis.  But isn’t enough to beat Obama.  And if it is, we’re in for an even worse disaster in the aftermath.
