But it took me a few minutes of watching Sarah Palin's video message this morning to realize that it wasn't an OnionTV production starring an uncannily good Palin impersonator.

While lashing out at the idea that her "lock and load" rhetoric could contribute to any act of violence, Palin decried "irresponsible statements" and insisted that "each individual is accountable for his actions." She characterized critics of her as guilty of "a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence that they purport to condemn." Again, I'm a bit slow here. But let me see if I understand this. Palin's words are obviously just words and could never ever influence anyone's actions. But the words of her critics are irresponsibly provocative and have the power "to incite hatred and violence"?

2. She never gets smarter -- only more and more stupid...

How long before the free M$M pass expires again? Please let it be soon...

3. Love this part:

Sarah Palin is never so impassioned as when the cause she's defending is Sarah Palin. That's what you see in the video. While I believe she genuinely feels grief for the families of the victims, for her this moment is about the unfair attacks she has sustained. The outrage isn't feigned. She isn't failing to make distinctions between criticizing her rhetoric and blaming her for the shooting. There is no distinction for her.

5. It's ALL about her...she has Narcissistic Personality Disorder

seriously -- she is INCAPABLE of even considering any criticism of herself, any criticism is "an attack" and she is the victim. Seriously look up NPD, it should have Sarah's pic by the definition!

6. Narcissists hate to be criticized

it drives them frickin' nuts since in their mind they can do no wrong.
