A sneak peek at Nick Broomfield's documentary, "Sarah Palin--You Betcha!"

I heard about this scene.

The guy following behind Nick, as he is escorted out, is Marc Hoeferlin one of his assistants.

Nick also filmed the incident in Anchorage, where I was escorted out of the book signing after Todd recognized me and Sarah said: "Oh you are the one who is trying to destroy my children!"

I have no idea if it made it into the final cut, but both it, and my interview afterward, were filmed by Nick and his crew.

I think it looks pretty good, what do all you think, is it worth the price of a ticket?

Not that I had any respect left for Jay Leno, but after this pathetic Bristol Palin interview I kind of wish Conan O"Brien would find him in an alleyway and kick his ass. Is that wrong of me?

In my opinion the ONLY true host of the Tonight Show was the late, great Johnny Carson. (Steve Allen and Jack Paar were fine, but Carson was the king!)

Leno has never able to ever come close to filling that great man's shoes.

And this interview did almost as much to make me dislike him as when he threw Conan O'Brien under the bus to satisfy his need to feel relevant, and to feed his gigantic ego. (Gee who does THAT sound like?)

Part One:



Bristol does not waste one second before trotting out her first lie, this one being about why she had her chin done. (Bristol fails to mention that she had undergone procedures to have the fat sucked out to make her face look thinner a few times in the past. And when she says that it is NOT an implant, I don't think even Rickles buys that load of moosecrap.)

"I wanted to be candid in the book?" Really? Then why weren't you?

Quickly. of course, the slams against Levi begin. Essentially Bristol claims her parents never liked him, and knew he was no good.

The idea that Sarah never liked Levi is undoubtedly accurate, she really does not like anybody besides herself. But she DID have him to living in her house, and running errands for her. Not to mention that he was one of the VERY few people allowed in the hospital when Sarah "gave birth" to Trig.

That does not exactly sound like he was despised.
Leno asking Bristol about her mother running for President: "Is there any reason she SHOULDN'T run?"

Rickles: "Cause she could lose."

This inspires the crowd to erupt in wild applause, which clearly causes Bristol to become very uncomfortable.

Leno: "Do you want her to run?"

BP: "I think so, yeah." Careful Bristol you almost told the truth there.

Again Bristol's version of how she learned that her mother had been tapped as McCain's VP choice does not jive, in any way, with the version that Palin wrote in "Going Rogue." I think they are going to need another visit to the re-education camp family meeting.

Now the only intelligent remark that Leno makes during the interview is to say, after Bristol trots out the "lawsuits" excuse for why her mother quit as Governor (By the way , those were ethics charges, NOT lawsuits.), "That happens with every Governor. Everybody gets lawsuits, its all part of the job." (Again these were ETHICS CHARGES!) However Bristol has been trained well, and insists that her mother did it "for Alaska."

Bristol also says that her mother is not building a house in Arizona. I never heard that she was "building" one but I am unsure if Bristol was denying that she had purchased one or not. Because, you know,  THAT would be another lie, which good "Christian" girls should never tell. (Sorry I made myself choke laughing at that one.)

Part two:



Bristol talks about her reality show and Rickles provides the appropriate unimpressed response. ( I am beginning to warm up to Rickles, who keeps reaching over to touch Bristol's hand which is clearly freaking her out a little.)

Then Leno decides to attack Levi concerning his upcoming book by essentially saying he "dislikes this guy" because he divulges too much private information that the public does not need to know.

Now just absorb THAT for a moment.  Essentially Leno believes that LEVI is airing too much dirty laundry, as if HE was the one to accuse Bristol of getting him drunk and stealing his virginity. Apparently that giant head of Leno's is an "irony free" zone. 

Fucking idiot!

The best pictures I have found of Bristol Palin's Phoenix, Arizona book signing.

"I have to remember what mom said, about not worrying about small crowds because SarahPAC will buy up the leftovers"

"You actually plan to read my book! Wow, that is more than I did!"

When is a child NOT a child? When he is a prop for selling merchandise. Poor kid!



And the truly sad thing is that Tripp had to endure uncomfortable surroundings and the hot climate for only about 35 to 40 people.

Bristol Palin book signing in Fredericksburg, yet another Texas sized tragedy for the family of grifters.

Courtesy of the delightfully named blog, I Tried Being Tasteful:

We didn’t attend the big event which kicked off at 6 pm because we had the grandkids here and because we really didn’t give a hoot. However we did end up at Walmart later in the evening after our weekly pilgrimage to McDonald’s.

When my husband was checking out at Walmart he went to the express checkout that happened to be right next to the area where Ms. Palin had been holding court.

The checker had been there the whole time and said that Bristol had left after only 20 mins. to a half hour of signing. There was even a point where there was no one waiting, so she graciously (to her credit) went around and introduced herself to the employees in the area.

In the grand tradition of her Mama Grizzly, she’d brought little Tripp (have I got the name right? With all the Tripps, Tracks, Trigs, etc., it’s hard to keep up) along for added value. No Sarah, though.

What kind of a country is this, where a hateful, over privileged, young "single mother" cannot attempt to destroy the reputation of her baby's father by essentially accusing him of date rape and then get paid millions of dollars for it?  I thought this was America!

And this happened in TEXAS!  Where else in the WHOLE world could Bristol Palin hope to be more welcomed than in Texas?

(P.S. Please visit the link to the blog that printed this story.  I am sure you agree they deserve some IM love for this awesome post!)

Palin book signing designated EPIC FAIL, as venue empties out half hour early. Update!

The rules set up by Mall of America officials for Sarah and Bristol Palin's book signing yesterday seemed to have been written in anticipation of an army of fans.

"'Camping out' is not allowed," the rules read. "Beginning at 5 a.m., guests will be allowed to line up."

But there was no teeming crowd of rabid Palinites at 5 a.m. And less than a half hour into the appearance of Bristol, Sarah, and Todd Palin, the crowd had dwindled to a trickle of latecomers.

Perhaps sensing that MOA's rotunda would not necessarily be mobbed by rabid Dancing with the Stars fans, Sarah Palin decided to tag along as well, revisiting the site where she was nearly tomatoed and signed a copy of our Michele Bachmann cover story "Going Crazy." 

Maybe she thought she had some star power. And Wednesday's rules stipulated that no one got Sarah Palin's autograph unless they bought Bristol's book.

Savvy. But by the time the Palins took the stage, one estimate put the number of autograph seekers at about 300 people, all lined up to be wanded and watched over by a phalanx of Bloominton cops before getting to the Palins' table.

At the end of the event, the MOA estimated that about 700 books had been signed. Perhaps the Palins simply sign books at a lightning pace, but the rotunda was deserted at least a half hour early.

This is usually where I add something snarky, but really what more is there to say?  Except perhaps, LOL!

Update: Here is video footage of the Palins premature departure from the event.



Who pays for all of that security? You can bet your ass Sister Sarah is not paying for it!

And did you notice they almost forgot the family prop that Bristol relies on to make her money?  Now that is just bad business sense!

Tens of people show up to Bristol and Sarah Palin's book signing today. Does anybody else hear crickets? Update!

(Video courtesy of Kare 11.)



Here are a couple of pictures that one of my visitors snapped of the pathetic affair.

Personally I am shocked!  How can there NOT be huge interest in a book about a young girl getting hammered on wine coolers, losing her virginity to a hockey player, having a baby out of wedlock, and then making hundreds of thousands of dollars by telling young girls to do the opposite of everything that she did in her life?

Hell she even brought her mommy to help.  What, are people finally starting to wise up or something?

Oh the humanity!

Update: Here is video from later in the day featuring both Bristol and Sarah trying to appear optimistic as they realize their star is rapidly dimming out of existence.

If you are going to get your Bristol/Sarah Palin autograph tomorrow, you need to follow these rules. After all this is the Mall of America NOT a three ring circus. Oh wait...

Here are the official event guidelines issued by the Mall of America:

Bristol Palin Book Signing

Wednesday, June 29, 2011

5 p.m. ● Rotunda

1. “Camping out” is not allowed on Mall of America property. Beginning at 5 a.m., guests will be allowed to line up outside the East Entrance to Mall of America on level one, between Sears an Bloomingdales. Guests should remain in a single file line until escorted into the building to receive a wristband.

2. You must have a Mall of America issued wristband in order to enter the autograph line. A limited number of wristbands will be given away in the Rotunda starting at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, June 29.

3. You must purchase a copy of “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far” to receive a Mall of America wristband.  (No bookie, no bandie!)

4. You must have a copy of “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far” in order to purchase a copy of “America by Heart” and/or “Going Rogue” signed by Sarah Palin. Limit 4 books per guest.

5. Each person in your party must be present to receive a wristband. Wristbands are non-transferable. People  wearing wristbands that have been tampered or altered will not be allowed through the autograph line. No exceptions.

6. Memorabilia will not be signed. (No Sarah Palin bobble head dolls or copies of The Lies of Sarah Palin, or Blind Allegiance.)

7. Personalization is not allowed. (You can't write "I the undersigned am a complete ignoramus, who is misrepresenting my intention of running for President in order to get attention and make tons of money. Oh and I lied about giving birth to Trig.)

8. No chairs allowed in the line area. (Sarah Palin supporters must have steel spines just like Sister Sarah and Bristol the Pistol. No sitting!)

9. No photos will be taken on stage. All cameras and cell phones are to be put away once you reach the stage stairs.

10. When you enter the autograph line, please remain single file. You must stay in line to keep your place. You may leave the line to use the restroom or get food for a short period of time. One person in your party must stay in line at all times.

11. If you choose to leave for an extended period of time, you must go to the end of the line when you return.

12. A special needs signing area will be available for guests. If needed, each special needs guest can bring one additional person to this area. Please visit the Mall of America wristband table located in the Rotunda upon your arrival, and you will escorted into this area. Space will be limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Guidelines are subject to change at any given time at the discretion of Mall of America Management for the safety and well being of our guests and tenants. Those who do not comply with event signing guidelines may not be able to receive a signature. ("No signature for you!")

There a few other guidelines that are NOT included on this list, but which participants should be aware.

Do not ask any "ear" questions! For some reason that REALLY pisses the Palins off!

Do not stare at the chin! (But OMGD! Look at that thing!)

Don't ask about Todd, unless you would like to join him in his fate. (However if you ask to see his balls Sarah might be able to oblige your request.)

Don't ask Bristol why she insinuated that the father of her child had date raped her. ("Psst! That was Mom's idea.")

Don't ask Sarah which part of her book "America by Heart" is her favorite. (She hasn't actually read it.)

And don't suddenly start questioning WHY you are standing in a line for hours to get a poorly written book filled with lies signed by two untalented losers who are making millions of dollars off of their fellow Americans so that they do not have to actually work for a living.

Bristol Palin is so "strong" and "independent" that she needs her mommy to sign books with her.

 From the Associated Press:

Sarah Palin will be stopping by for the start of her daughter's book tour.

The former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate will appear with Bristol Palin on Wednesday in Bloomington, Minn., at the Barnes & Noble in the Mall of America.

HarperCollins Publishers announced Monday that the two will sign copies of their latest books.

Sarah Palin says in a statement that she is "so proud" of her daughter and " thrilled to be joining her to kick off her book tour."

So what do we think here?

Are Bristol Palin's book sales so pathetic that she cried to her mommy until she agreed to help pimp out her book of lies?

Or...

Did Sarah Palin see this as the perfect opportunity to unload a few hundred copies of her OWN crappy second book because it bombed so badly during HER last book tour?

Or...

Is Bristol Palin simply incapable of doing ANYTHING for herself without her mother telling her what to talk about, and what NEVER to talk about?

Well no matter which one is the most accurate, the whole damn thing is just pathetic.

BTW I wrote this whole blog post with no help whatsoever from my mother.

Good Morning America's Robin Roberts has a request before her big interview with Bristol Palin tomorrow morning.

From Robin Roberts Twitter account:

Happy Weekend! I'm talking w/ Bristol Palin tmrw about her new book. Interview will air Mon on @GMA. Do you have any questions for Bristol?
19 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

Well gang I don't know about you but I think we should oblige Ms. Roberts.

This is what I sent:

@RobinRoberts @GMA Yes ask her to clarify her statement that Levi got her drunk and stole her virginity.
3 hours ago via web

I would REALLY like for Bristol to continue making this accusation against Levi, until he gets pissed off enough to finally fight back.

If you have any ideas for questions, please click the link at the top and let this "journalist" know what she SHOULD be asking this lying Palin progeny.
