And now for this week’s Pissed Off!

I wasn’t going to do a Pissed Off this week…and then I saw this:

“We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship…It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well-being of the child."

- Sarah Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/06/palin-spokeswoman-attacks-levi-johnstons-lies/

So Sarah Palin is angry at Levi Johnston for appearing on the Tyra Banks Show.

Now, I’m not going to defend Levi, he doesn’t seem like a very smart person.

However, it’s ludicrous for Palin to complain about being an opportunist and appearing on talk shows, SINCE SHE’S BEEN DOING THE SAME THING SINCE THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET LOST THE ELECTION.

Shit, I still can’t go a day or two without seeing her name in the papers in her “quest for fame, attention, and fortune”

And here is a link to just one of several news sites that fact checks things she’s said
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/04/politics/animal/main4414049.shtml

No surprise that she engages “in flat-out lies, (and) gross exaggeration”.

So I’m calling you out Sarah. I don’t have a problem with you telling Levi to stay out of the media spotlight, but you need to do that too. You lost, it’s over. You’re the governor of Alaska, and governors don’t get to chime in on every issue. So shut the fuck up already!

That's all for this week folks.

Peace,
Lazlo
