Here’s another none story that’s making its rounds on the blogs. Governor Palin put a post up on her Facebook page the context of which was endorsing a candidate with common sense solutions. The post had 444 words, three of which were part of a side note telling her supporters that she is now with her family sightseeing America’s largest island.
The Lamestream media got all wee-weed up again. Gotcha Governor, Kodiak is not Americas biggest island, Hawaii is 25 square miles bigger. You can almost hear them singing like children: Kodiak issss noooooooot Americas biggeeeeeeeest island bla bla bla bla bla…
I have no intention of defending this as this is such a stupid non-story that it doesn’t even warrant a defense. For good measure this has already been dealt with this here.
But the media hypocrisy is astonishing, so much so that Jimmy Kimmel found it so amusing that he created a video mocking the Governor on how it would look like if she got together with the guys of “Schoolhouse Rock”. In the video the various states pop out some with question marks on them.
I want to remind Mr. Kimmel that Governor Palin never had a problem naming the 50 states. If I recall correctly, it was President Obama who added an additional 7 states that he still needs to name. Perhaps Mr. Kimmel was confused.
Sarah Palin forgets to write one word “second” — as in “America’s second largest island,” and Mr. Kimmel thinks she needs to be schooled on the entire fifty states. Here’s a newsflash: She wasn’t the politician who said that we have 57 states! That was your Dear Leader, Barack Obama.
The media and the entertainment industry hates you, America. They think you’re stupid. They think they can manipulate you into believing “Sarah Palin, stupid” and “Barack Obama, genius.” Sarah Palin’s Alaska created jobs. Barack Obama’s America is bleeding them. We’ll see in two years who gets to say to America, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” And we’ll see the answer to that.
This is all a tactic by the media to silence her. They do this with everything she says or writes; nick-picking on every little thing gives them an excuse to avoid talking about her actual message.
In case the left and the media missed it while they were plotting to bring down Governor Palin, let’s play a little game: who can name all the 57 states?
1) Alabama. 2) Alaska. 3) Arizona. 4) Arkansas. 5) California. 6) Colorado. 7) Connecticut. 8 ) Delaware. 9) Florida. 10) Georgia. 11) Hawaii. 12) Idaho. 13) Illinois. 14) Indiana. 15) Iowa. 16) Kansas. 17) Kentucky. 18) Louisiana. 19) Maine. 20) Maryland. 21) Massachusetts. 22) Michigan. 23) Minnesota. 24) Mississippi. 25) Missouri. 26) Montana. 27) Nebraska. 28) Nevada. 29) New Hampshire. 30) New Jersey. 31) New Mexico. 32) New York. 33) North Carolina. 34) North Dakota. 35) Ohio. 36) Oklahoma. 37) Oregon. 38) Pennsylvania. 39) Rhode Island. 40) South Carolina. 41) South Dakota. 42) Tennessee. 43) Texas. 44) Utah. 45) Vermont. 46) Virginia. 47) Washington. 48) West Virginia. 49) Wisconsin. 50) Wyoming. 51) ??? 52) ??? 53) ??? 54) ??? 55) ??? 56) ??? 57) ???
