For it Before AND After She Was Against it: Phony Pol Sarah Palin Accepts 69% of Alaska Stimulus Earmarks
By Debbie Schlussel
Remember how I told you about Sarah Palin’s phony “anti-stimulus bill” positioning? When I wrote about how Palin claimed she was against the stimulus bill after she was first for it and claimed she wanted Alaska to get its “fair share,” I got a number of vile, anti-Semitic, sexist e-mails from Palinmessiah maniacs insisting Palin was against the stimulus bill. These blind followers probably also probably believed her equally phony claim that she was against the “Bridge to Nowhere,” when she actually supported it (then later “opposed” it).
Well, I was right again. This airhead isn’t just an airhead. She’s also a fraud. Her statements sound like an echo chamber of John Kerry about being for the Iraq War before he was against it. She’s now accepting 69%–or $642 million–of the estimated $930 million in federal stimulus funds earmarked for Alaska. Palin, as well as many intellectually dishonest conservatives and Palin fanatics, are lying about the numbers.
And it just shows that you can’t believe everything you read at places like Hot Air, etc. “Allahpundit” at Hot Air reported–and a gazillion airhead idiots mindlessly repeated on their websites, etc.–that Sarah Palin rejected $515 million in stimulus earmarks. But had he–and they–actually bothered to read her lying press release, instead of seeing what they wanted to read, they’d have noted that she actually accepted (by her own admission) $515 million, though she’s actually accepting $642 million, according to every media account except her own.
When I complained, he corrected it, but wrote me that it was no big deal:
No one except you is going to be particularly exercised about the difference between $515 million and $288 million.
Yup, criticize the liberal mainstream media for getting stuff completely wrong, but when you do it yourself, well, “no one . . . is going to be particularly exercised” at the falsity. Right. That’s the attitude. Accuracy doesn’t matter because “no one except you is going to be particularly exercised” about the lack of it.
The bottom line is that Sarah Palin is a fake. She’s not a conservative. She’s not a liberal. She’s not a moderate. She’s just a ruthlessly ambitious ignoramus-ette with no ideology, but for whatever will get her to higher office.
And you can’t believe a thing she says.
As for the stimulus bill earmarks Sarah Palin pretended she was against, well, she can’t help herself.
She’s Gotta Have It.
Granted, she should not accept anything; is there any governor who is handing back all of it though?
Also, of course, many, many of those with a favorable opinion of Palin are not anti-Semitic.
