Sarah Palin is an idiot. While this has been commonly accepted
ever since she slinked out of her slime pit and emerged on the political scene,
Palin recently managed to be so utterly stupid that it prompted an official
White House response.
After Palin’s son Track drunkenly beat his girlfriend and
made threats with a semiautomatic weapon, Caribou Barbie did the only thing she
knows how to do: she blamed that socialist Communist
Muslim atheist fascist dictator Barack Obama.
Sure, the half-term, half-wit former Governor of Alaska could
have had a moment of self-reflection, questioning her role as a parent and what
she did wrong in failing to instill proper values in her precious little
snowflake.
She could have spoken out against domestic violence in general,
and pointed out that it is an issue that faces many families, including hers.
She could have said nothing at all. Instead, she told a crowd at
a Donald Trump rally that Obama
gave her son PTSD when he served in Iraq for a single year under Bush,
and blamed Track’s violent tendencies the President’s blatant attempt to
deprive veterans of medical and psychological treatment (failing to mention
that it was actually Republicans who
slashed the budget for veterans’ care):
“I can talk personally about this, I guess it’s kind of the elephant in the room. My son like so many others, they come back a bit different, they come back hardened, they come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country. And that starts from the top. It’s a shame that our military personnel even have to wonder, if they have to question, if they’re respected anymore. It starts from the top. The question though that comes from our own president where they have to look at him and wonder, do you know what we go through? Do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us?”
This didn’t sit well with the President, who is deeply committed
to ensuring our veterans are taken care of, so White House spokesman Josh
Earnest put her on blast Thursday.
Earnest said that while it’s easy to mock Palin — really easy — the topics she
discussed are not a joke:
“The reaction of some people I think is to make light of some of the rhetoric that we see on the campaign trail, particularly from Gov. Palin. But the fact is domestic violence is not a joke. Gun violence is not a joke. Problems with addiction are not a joke. The consequences, or I should say, the sacrifices that many of our men and women in uniform make for our safety and security are not a joke.”
“We take [those issues] very seriously and there are many
communities and families that are dealing with these very difficult challenges
in a way that is sometimes difficult to talk about publicly,” he said.
Classy — something one would never expect from someone who would fling herself on top of a dogpile in a drunken brawl her family started
at someone’s birthday party.
