Sarah Palin EMBARRASSES HERSELF By Attacking Chris Christie For Being Fat


While being interviewed by CNN, Sarah Palin’s intellectual choo-choo derailed, as she skipped from discussing sexism to Chris Christie’s extreme weight.




Bush & Palin, between them, timeshare the same single brain cell......she borrowed it for this interview....




Palin was asked by Jake Tapper about advice should would have for any woman running for president, “She can expect that sexism, but you overcome it. You ignore it. You thicken your skin, you march forward with your agenda, your priorities, what you think is right. Hillary Clinton was mistreated when it came to appearances, when it came to wardrobe – petty, superficial things that the men don’t ever seem to hear much about, but a woman candidate will.”

Tapper brought up the comments Chris Christie hears about his weight, and Palin replied, “That’s because it’s been extreme. So it’s hard for some people not to comment on it.”...... (oops)

Palin has made it obvious that she doesn’t like Chris Christie, but she came so close to almost giving a coherent answer to a question. What she said about the sexism that female candidates face in the media is true. Hillary Clinton was absolutely unfairly treated in 2008. Elizabeth Warren got some of the same treatment when she ran for Senate in 2012.

-..Sarah Palin’s jab at Christie was childish. Her point was that Chris Christie is some sort of extreme freak. While I disagree with Christie politically, his struggles with his weight, and his desire to live a healthier life for himself and his family are well documented.

I've gone my entire life without negatively commenting on overweight people - it's called being CIVIL

If I were placing a bet, it'd be on Christie to win.

He may be a blowhard, but unlike Palin, he ain't stupid.

"Indeed I am, Madame, but I'll be sober tomorrow...and you will still be ugly!"

That's not the precise quote, but it's an approximate; it's credited to an exchange between Lady Astor and Winston Churchill.

True or not (and I really don't know if it is true), it's a great retort! Lady Astor was insufferable..!

Christie is to ridiculed for his weight. Unless, of course, Sarah Palin does it, in which case she's reprehensible. If she'd just shut her insensitive piehole, we could get back to...ridiculing Christie for his weight.

Do I have that about right?

People on opposite teams mock one another mercilessly--it's just what they do.

People on the SAME team don't mock one another at all; in fact, they DEFEND one another against the slings and arrows of the opposition team, and they call out for justice when one of their own is wronged.

People who, on the SAME team, start tearing one another to shreds, are laying themselves open to mockery and scorn by those from the opposing team, for not maintaining team discipline and allowing their petty infighting to become public.

If you're clear on your team affiliation, it's not too hard to sort out. It's quite simple, actually--you just don't shit where you eat.

Her talking points are the mental equivalent of loudly farting on a wooden pew.
