Stewart agreed with one of Palin's statements, that Jared Lee Loughner is really the one to blame and that the entire shooting was unnecessarily politicized. But minutes later, Palin referred to Loughner as "an apolitical or perhaps even left-leaning criminal."

"There must to be a word for complaining vociferously about a wrong being done to you whilst casually committing said wrong without even realizing it," Stewart said. "For now let's call it an 'Anchorage Steamer.'"

Stewart offered his evaluation of what Palin has become:

"You have become a lighting rod less for your clarity of vision, but more for your ability to turn any criticism of you of into persecution of you."

2. He also coined the term Palindrome or something like that as part of the
whole complaining the committing rant.

It was a good segment he had last night.

4. Alaskan Steamer says it better that women is mentally challenged at best
but then again beauty pageant contestants aren't on the stage for their intelligence or talents, unless they can swallow a 14" Kolbalsa.

6. "Palindrome" is already a word.
It means something that is spelled the same way forward as it is backward.

Like:

Race car

Hannah

Do geese see god

Was it Eliot's toilet I saw

3. I think I'd throw up if I saw Stewart making nice with the 1/2 term governor.

His "false equivalency" schtick he's been spewing lately is bad enough.

And she wouldn't understand it.

7. He couldn't say any of the things he says in his segments about her to her face

Reason #1: She won't appear unless the encounter is scripted.

Reason # 2: He can't tear into her without coming off like a bully. The sad fact of the matter is that anyone in the corporate media can't tear the grifter apart in person like she deserves. She'd play victim and there would be fallout.

What we need are more people like this lady with the banner:

Exposing her for the sad, condescending sack of shit she is. Palin should be greeted like this for every public appearance she makes.

9. Please John--uninvite her
She does not need anymore attention than she gathers herself.
There is absolutely nothing she may add to the national debate of any value.

10. Nothing screams "Victim!" louder than a bully confronted by their behavior. n/t
