Now wait wait wait. Before you start ripping Bristol to shreads, it might be important to know that:
1) She was playing herself, so, not much acting going on there, right?
2) She was part of an episode of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, that featured teen moms.
In the episode Palin is at a band camp for and tells the main character Amy, that she is the world’s best French horn player, and then refers to herself as Yo-Yo Ma! LOL!
Okay, so as long as she’s not playing a former porn star a la Lindsey Lohan, or some sort of Marvel superhero, I think I’m okay with this. I typically have issues with people using their fame to walk on to sets of TV shows when there are so many talented, struggling actors (some of whom are my friends) out there trying to make a name for themselves and their talent. But it seems like Bristol had a great cause, and great reasoning to be a part of this very important episode. I hear this TV show is quite amazing, so I think I’ll start watching.
Did you see this episode?

Sarah Palin Suggests You ‘RELOAD’ and Apparently, Shoot Your Representatives March 24, 2010

I think Sarah Palin’s word choice, and subsequent imagery about how to handle the new law that was recently passed, is more or less the epitome of why people think she is bat shit crazy.
First, SarahPalinUSA on Twitter (her official account), had this to say about the recent legislation:
Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: “Don’t Retreat, Instead – RELOAD!” Pls see my Facebook page.
RELOAD!? You know, the word “reload’ could have been overlooked in my observation had she not suggested going to her Facebook page, where the following image, of a rifle sight is used to locate all of the Congressmen in districts “they” as in Republicans, once carried in:
Does anyone else think this is insane! Could you imagine if any Democrat posted an image with rifle sight icons, suggesting that their party “reload” and go after these people!? This is absolutely insane.
Does Pyscho Sarah forget that these seats weren’t just awarded…they were VOTED ON BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
If one or more of these Representatives end up injured or harmed, will people take another look at this image, and message?

The picture pretty much speaks for itself. When asked to grade the Republican leadership in Congress, Americans in every state gave Ds across the board.

Is A Letterman Protest Over Palin Joke Necessary? June 16, 2009

Don’t get me wrong, I thought Letterman’s joke was inappropriate and obviously written for a tongue-to-cheek reaction. And I whole-heartedly agree with most of what I’ve heard Palin say. But is a protest outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater really necessary?
Yes, it was crude. Both parties said what they had to say, including Letterman who apologized for the “course” remark. Can’t the Palin camp just say, “Thank you for your apology” and move on? They are two very influential adults in their own ways, you’d think a quick, “I’m sorry” would have this issue revolving around a joke over with.
Forgive and forget, and this could all be over with.
Also, Sarah Palin looks so much better now than she ever has! She’s got a nice healthy tan, and her bangs pulled back! Work it Sarah!
AWESOME Sarah Palin Quote! November 11, 2008

So I have to admit that since the election was called, the interviews that Sarah Palin have been giving are hilarious! You can tell that she has come out of her shell and out from under the thumb of John McCain.
I really do think that she has been treated unfairly. Yes, her policies are absurd and ridiculous, but that is over now. It’s the past. I feel bad for her and wish that people would stop criticizing her–even now. She may not have been the best candidate for the Vice Presidency, but you have to admit that she does seem like a caring, genuine, wholesome person. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing where her career goes from here.
I was watching Anderson Cooper tonight and he showed a clip of her sort of pissed off that people keep talking about the money that the RNC spent on her wardrobe.
Below is the quote that I typed out from playing the clip back on my computer. I laugh every time I hear her say it!
“It’s just very very disappointing, because this is Barack Obama’s time right now, and this is a historic moment in our nation, and this can be a shining moment for America in our history, and look what we’re talking about, again we’re talking about my shoes, and belts and skirts.” – Sarah Palin

My friend Clint sent me the link to this picture of some car full of reasons why the Republican party seems so desperate and unaware.
My favorite one is, “Obama’s middle name is HUSSEIN!” Run for the hills if you’re middle name is Hussein!
