Palin on the Today Show bashing “lamestream” media …while on the Today Show
I can’t look away from the train wreck that is Sarah Palin. Her Today Show appearance opened up with Palin giving an endorsement (of sorts) of Mitt Romney:
As host Matt Lauer asked Palin about the current state of the GOP race, she offered another lukewarm endorsement of the current front-runner. “It seems [Romney] is the frontrunner, are you happy with that?” he asked, prompting a sharp intake of breath from Palin. “Anybody but Obama”, was who Palin was looking to support,”
I’ve read that she is so luke warm on Romney because she is absolutely convinced that there will be a brokered convention from which she will emerge as the nominee. Part of her logic (?) behind that thinking (?) is based on the fact (?) that she has already absorbed the unfair scrutiny of the liberal media and remained standing.
Whoever the nominee is, Palin added, “they’re gonna get clobbered by the lamestream media.”
Jay Rosen posted about this in Facebook, wondering what NBC could be thinking. And wondering if Brian Williams, Tom Brockaw or Chuck Todd objected to this stunt as they routinely do with other NBC stunts that make them look too much like MSNBC. I point this out, because I am stealing a comment on that post from one Dan Hagen:
Says it all, yes?
Yep. Nailed it. I think that is why I can’t not watch the Palin debacle unfold. You wonder how far she plans to take the ruse. How committed is she to this crazy-ass persona?
She’s the Kardashian of politics and I wish people wouldn’t watch her to secure syndication. I don’t know what else to say.
