"@Newsweek: know what's truly dumb? Giving a cover story to the TrigTruther conspiracy kook writer"



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/17/sarah-palin-blasts-newsweek_n_1209736.html

Sarah Palin took to Twitter early Tuesday to give Newsweek a piece of her mind.

The former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate seemed to be particularly annoyed by the magazine's decision to run a cover story about President Barack Obama under the headline: "Why Are Obama's Critics So Dumb?" But Palin's ire wasn't directed at the story's assertions; instead she took aim at Andrew Sullivan, the author of the article.

@Newsweek: know what's truly "dumb"? Giving a cover story to the TrigTruther conspiracy kook writer who thinks I didn't give birth to my son


Sullivan is the former editor of The New Republic, a weekly columnist for the Sunday Times of London and the author of several books, including "Virtually Normal," "Love Undetectable" and "The Conservative Soul." In recent years, he has covered Palin's public and political life, including the unfounded rumors that claimed Palin may not have given birth to her son Trig. The speculation ended in 2008 when Sullivan posted links to photographs showing a pregnant Palin.

I don't know who wrote the tweet for Mrs. Palin, but it's dead center.
