Help me translate Palin's angry-muffin verbiage

“They maybe subscribe such characterization of Newt via words like that, but they don’t subscribe those to say Mitt Romney when he or his surrogates do the same thing,” she said.

“That’s that typical hypocrisy stuff in the media that I’ve lived with over a couple of decades in the political arena. So I’m used to it.”

“But in order to help educate the rest of the American public, I’ll articulate that it is hypocritical of the media to subscribe to one candidate and not another, that kind of angry attack muffin verbiage to one and not the other.”

addition to the English jargon, no matter how accidental her achievement here was.

However, she should probably consult a dictionary before using "subscribe" again...

And I thought it was me when I tried to read Palinese when I first saw the news story with her comments. Glad to know it was her beauty-pageant "use my title to bring world peace" gibberish, and not my comprehension skills.

One candidate was given a subscription to a porno magazine called Angry Attack Muffin and another candidate didn't get a subscription but one candidate did and another one didn't. I'm guessing Newt and Ron Paul got the free porn and Romney and Santorum didn't.

I'm 98% certain that this was not ghostwritten. It would appear that the word 'subscribe' came up on Sarah's "Word of the Day" calender app. If she thinks she's in any way educating the rest of the American public with this butchery, she's sadly mistaken.

I doubt she has any more of a clue about any real meaning behind what she said
than does the color and placement of dryer lint in a waste basket and how that will
show us about up coming economic polices from the FED.

pure fucking gibberish from Caribou Barbie ....

BTW Newt Gingrich = angry attack muffin .... that is from the Stephanie Miller Show

They use those words to characterize Newt, but they don’t use them to characterize Mitt Romney, even when Mitt and his people do the same thing Newt does.

That is hypocritical. I’m used to political hypocrisy because I’ve had to deal with it often.

It’s hypocritical of the media to use attack muffin verbiage against one candidate but not the other.

....it's sort of like subscribing to Playboy while condemning and rejecting Hustler....

....Newtie is just as much a right-wing fascist pig as the rich wall-street Mormon...so why isn't Newtie being afforded the same respect and treatment by the corporate media?

....conclusion: the corporate media is owned and operated by and for the interests of the rich....and the rich love the rich wall-street Mormon....what we have here is a clear-cut case of, 'rich puke versus poor puke'

....her shrill voice aside, Palin is right!

Everytime I hear her talk, I keep thinking of how much the noise of listening to fingernails being scrapped across a blackboard don't bother me as much anymore.

I wonder if listening to her is like taking the cure to being bothered by the noise caused by the screeching owl family that lives in the field next to my house.

From the WSJ, January 7:

Right now Mr. Romney's taking a beating. He's everyone's target, and in a way that speaks of something beyond the usual campaign ferocity. There's something else going on, a taunting: "If you're so inevitable how come I'm not afraid of you?" Newt Gingrich, angry little attack muffin, called Mr. Romney a liar. A Santorum fund-raising letter this week called Mr. Romney a "bland and boring career politician." A radio ad for Mr. Paul: Nominating Romney is "a recipe for defeat." Newt, in an interview: "He's not truthful."

Took out 6 of my men before we could even draw our weapons...wait no that was a rabbit. In any case, angry attack muffins should always be kept inside since they attack the icecream truck on site.

A 600 pound muffin mauling a small truck is no laughing matter.
