Sarah Palin – that noted ignoramus on foreign policy – was trotted out on On The Record last night to offer up her deepest thoughts on Benghazi. Oh, and while she was at it to smear discuss Time Magazine’s choice of President Barack Obama as Person of the Year.
We know that host Greta Van Susteren just adores Palin but does anyone else give a fig about what she has to say about anything, much less related to foreign policy? After all, this is the vice presidential candidate who didn’t know what the Bush Doctrine was, couldn’t identify which newspapers she reads and claimed her foreign policy experience included proximity to Russia from Alaska. Since then, Palin has “distinguished” herself by quitting her job as governor halfway through her term, pimping a fake run for president and alienating her boss at Fox News.
Nevertheless, Van Susteren asked about a State Department report into the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and the ensuing resignations of four State Department officials, “So is Benghazi now settled or are there still unanswered questions? What does Governor Sarah Palin think?”
That was after Van Susteren played numerous clips of Rush Limbaugh’s comments on the subject. I guess that’s to balance Van Susteren’s liberal views.
I don’t know why Van Susteren bothered to host Palin. Any one of us could have written her script:
They even told Americans that Al Qaeda was on the run and that is not true. Maybe they’re on the run but it’s towards America, not away from America.
Rather than ask for details, Van Susteren moved on to give Palin another opportunity to smear President Obama – by bringing up Time’s Person of the Year.
Once again, you could have predicted her response: President Obama “wanting to change the Constitution” (again without challenge from Van Susteren, who’s an attorney), “because he sees it as a charter of negative.”
But then Palin went on to make this laughable statement:
Time Magazine, I think there’s some irrelevancy there… When I first heard (Obama had been chosen), the first thing that popped into my mind was “What the heck has he done?” Really, what has he done except drive us over a fiscal cliff which we are over and now it’s time to feel the thud at the bottom of that cliff… Other than that, really, what has he done to unify and make our nation a more perfect union? For the life of me, I don’t know, Greta.
So said the world’s most irrelevant pundit.
And for the record… some of the things Obama has accomplished:
- ObamaCare
- Helped resolve problems of Dreamers
- Ended the war in Iraq
- Winding down the war in Afghanistan
- Killed Osama Bin Laden
- Saved the automobile industry
And, oh yeah, prevented Palin from getting a heartbeat away from the presidency.
@lynn: Not very friendly are you? Screeching is no way to get people to take you seriously (dixit all the books on how to win friends and INFLUENCE people).
Her 15 minutes of fame is coming to an end.
My honest opinion? I seriously doubt it. Glenn Beck still got a lo of guest spots fo ratings, but after a while, it seemed like even O’Reilly was sick of hearing him talk.
Ellen, are you afraid to put your last name to this tripe you write?
You got us… her real name is Lynn Braddy. She’s also been posting as this crackpot conservative that somehow managed to get banned from commenting on Fox Nation and Newsbusters because she’s too looney tunes for them. I notice that your name is Lynn Braddy, as well- you might want to find a way to let us know when it’s you.
It could be next month that Fox won’t care what Sarah thinks about anything soon since contract with them ends next month. Does anyone know if she has sign a new deal?
I’m wondering the same thing. I’ve not heard anything – which suggests she has not renewed her contract.

Why are you people trying to advertise on this site?You don’t even believe in capitalism. You should be bleeding the taxpayers out of their money, like NPR.
what lynn really means is her husband is having an affair with a mentally stable lady half lynn’s age while she sits online all day because foxnation even banned her for being too nutty
Ouch…LOL!

@ Lynn Bleatty: Why oh why did ez ever let you out of your cage . . . you’ve been dropping crap ever since your return.
I would think anyone who says -
“I’ll be back when SCOTUS declares Obamacare unconstitutional”
- would never be heard from again . . .

Ellen, are you afraid to put your last name to this tripe you write?”
just so some right wing nut job has someone else to shoot at. poor OLD lynn with all that ammo fox news told her buy up an no one to shot at. lynn, try the schoolyard like your buddy just did. easy targets you can’t miss. they will all be on the swings or playing peacefully.
lynn
While we’re at it, how do we know that your REAL name is “Lynn Braddy?” After all, just because you’re using that name doesn’t mean that’s your real name. How do we know you’re not actually Jesse Watters hiding behind a fake name?
And who knows? Maybe it was always Ellen’s fondest desire to become like Cher, Madonna or Prince—and just be known by one name.
You mean, the buffoonery of putting Palin on the cover three times?
Agreed — that was buffoonery . . .
@lynn Bleatty: “I didn’t realize my comments were immortalized by the left.”
Of course they are, Lynnie.
If, by “immortalized”, you mean, “archived and reposted so we can once again guffaw at their complete stupidity” . . .
.
I just love hearing from poor losers.
Silly right wingers, victories are for liberals.
With no commas, to boot. Good thing you had periods, or I would’ve hyperventilated midway through . . .
@ez: Nice find. I recall that “prediction” came at the beginning of what was to become a very baaaad period for the rightwingnuttocracy: the SCOTUS overturned most of AZ’s anti-immigration bill, upheld Obamacare, and Sarah, The Combover, Pizza Man, Newt, Shellie Bachmann, Frothy Rick, and the others had fallen out of the GOP Klown Kar — leaving only Mittens.
Add to that President Obama’s Election Day beatdown, and it’s understandable why Lynnie hasn’t been around much lately . . .

Lynn Braddy, thanks for stopping by, happy holidays to you, and tell all your friends about News Hounds.
Thank you for that statement, Lady Blah Blah.
For, in it, you just basically admitted your own irrelevance:
