She is a thin-skinned bitch isn't she?:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said Sunday she accepted MSNBC host Martin Bashir's apology for derogatory remarks he made about her last week after she compared the national debt to slavery. She also said she stood by the comparison.
"The definition of slavery is to be beholden to a master, and we will be beholden when that note is due," she said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
In response to Palin's initial comments, Bashir called her a "world class idiot." He then described a punishment that forced a slave to put "sh*t in his mouth" and said Palin would be an "outstanding candidate" for such a punishment. Bashir apologized soon after, saying his comments were "wholly unacceptable."
Palin said Sunday she accepted Bashir's apology.
"Who am I to not accept an apology?" Palin said. "Everyone must humble themselves and accept that offer of apology. But next time they want to say such a thing and then get the attention they were seeking after they said it, and then they want to call and apologize to me in private? I'd like them to go through Todd first or one of my children first. Leave a message with them. Hear what they have to say about it. And then they can come to me."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/24/sarah-palin-martin-bashir-apology_n_4333579.html?utm_hp_ref=media&ir=Media
So not only does she get MSNBC's hapless Martin Bashir to apologize publicly, she then double's down on her own repugnant comments, comparing the national debt to slavery, which rightly stirred the ire of Bashir to begin with.
And of course this has to be the most arrogant statement of all, in fact you can simply hear the pompous venom oozing and dripping from every word -- "Who am I to not accept an apology? Everyone must humble themselves and accept that offer of apology. But next time they want to say such a thing and then get the attention they were seeking after they said it, and then they want to call and apologize to me in private? I'd like them to go through Todd first or one of my children first. Leave a message with them. Hear what they have to say about it. And then they can come to me."
Just fucking WOW! Coming from one of the most prolific attention whores ever to disgrace American public life, that is some pretty rich shit there my friends.
It should come as no secret to you dear readers, that The Gadfly is not in possession of one iota of respect for the failed Vice Presidential candidate and former half-term Governor of Alaska, known commonly within these pages as "Caribou Barbie." In fact -- The Gadfly staunchly believes that John McCain and the GOP ought to be banished to wander for 40 years in the political wilderness for foisting such a loathsome creature upon the American body politic to begin with.
In The Gadfly's, admittedly, not-so-humble view, Sarah Palin is one of the most vindictive, narcissistic, self-serving, obnoxiously uneducated, and sanctimonious politicians to come down the proverbial pike in quite some time - and that is even taking in to consideration the crowd of phony, moralizing hypocrites headed up by Newt Gingrich, who during his failed piety mission to bring down the Presidency of Bill Clinton for fibbing about a blow job, was himself participating in some extra-marital boinking.
While Bashir's broadcast exhortation that Palin literally eat shit for comparing the national debt to human slavery was indubitably uncouth for a prominent, national news show host, let's be honest here, such a jarring public rebuke of the Wasilla Wingnut was also long, long overdue. And no, unlike Martin Bashir, The Gadfly will not apologize for saying so - not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
Not only was Palin's smug comment that the national debt is the societal equivalent to human bondage and cruelty on a scale so horrific that it nearly destroyed America's fledgling democracy less than 100 years in to it's infancy repulsive and egregious in and of itself, she also conveniently omits the fact that the majority of that national debt has been incurred under Presidents from her own Republican party.
Perhaps it is the cantankerous mutt mixture of Irish, Scandinavian, and Native American blood coursing through The Gadfly's old veins, but it is a simple fact that The Gadfly does not suffer insufferable charlatans like Sarah Palin gladly, and which is why he devotes a fair amount of his personal time and energy on the pages of this shitty little blog, to the necessary task of mercilessly exposing and mocking them. And thus The Gadfly's sensibilities are not in any way offended by Martin Bashir's suggestion to Dame Palin that perchance she might learn a little something of slave history by experiencing the delectable taste of feces in her own mouth.
Nonetheless - that is not to say that The Gadfly does not possess any cultivated societal manners at all dear readers. On the contrary - The Gadfly acknowledges that admonishing Sarah Palin to eat a mouthful of shit on national television was invariably hurtful to her and her legion of acolytes and groupies. Therefore, if it is any comfort to those aggrieved citizens, The Gadfly would cheerfully go out of his way to make certain that Madame Palin's main dish of steaming-hot poop is made boundlessly more palatable for her forked tongue by adding a nice parsley garnish, a hearty soup of the day on the side, a complementary green salad, topped off by a glass of the house's finest, French Bordeaux wine.

**Oh - and btw -- The Gadfly continues to wait, in vain most assuredly, for the day that Sarah Palin issues an apology to his self and the rest of sane America for her public statement that American law and government should be "based on the God of the bible and the ten commandments." A statement, which as it should be recognized, would sound perfectly acceptable coming out of the mouth of a member of The Taliban or Al Qaeda instead of someone with American presidential aspirations.
