Sarah Palin starts some shit with the media, including going to war with Letterman and certain bloggers. War with Letterman? Sure, knock yourself out. But never go to war with the internet, silly Sarah – you will get the beatdown.
In Wasilla, everything is fine.
If Glossolalia Black hadn’t sent us funny photos of Sarah Palin and Trig being photoshopped we never would have found this story.
Huffington Post gives a good overview of the situation:
So, like a month ago, David Letterman told some jokes. And one or two of them were directed at Sarah Palin and her family. And so, in keeping with the prophesy, she let slip the dogs of aerial wolf-hunty outrage, and then everyone, everywhere was warblogging about it. Sarah Palin, really, like Alex Pareene once said, you got to let the stuff slide, sometimes.” It doesn’t make mean jokes okay. It’s just that sometimes, you have to appear to be above it all, untouched by the vulgar vagaries of late-night comedians and their captive audiences of claques. So, my advice to Sarah Palin would be to do as the old ad copy said: Never let them see you sweat. Don’t get involved in a land war with David Letterman. Let other people go crazyface on your behalf.
Yet, this past week, some blogger no one had ever heard of did a photoshop putting the face of a talk show host no one had ever heard of on the body of Trig Palin. And now, all of these people that you had heretofore never heard of are famous, because Sarah Palin wouldn’t let the stuff slide. Even dumber, she said that the Photoshopping was a “desecration,” which means she believes Trig had been “divested of her sacred character.”
Anyway, shortly after Sarah Palin went WARBONKERS on a blogger, the entire internet responded in an even more vapid and juvenile fashion, and now there are stupid Photoshops everywhere, thanks to Sarah Palin, because that is what happens when you feed the beast with your stupid anger, instead of calmly letting some stuff slide and depriving the beast of oxygen.

Our lame photoshop entry.
Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving. On a related note, we have a message to all conservative talk radio hosts, Fox News commentators, and GOP members: keep promoting Palin for 2012. Just keep doing that, we’re sure it will work out great for you.
Quantum Leap FTW.
