The Hysteria escalates – Palin Brings out the Left’s Anxiety

Sarah Palin’s new TLC series – “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” is causing a bit of angst for those from the left of the political spectrum. An article in the UK’s Guardian would be laughable, if it did not make one stop and think about how sadly in need of medical attention those on the left would be if she does decide to run in 2012. The article speaks about Sarah Palin as having endangered a few bears, during the filming of the show. The Guardian managed to dig up an environmentalist, who suggested that the Palin’s broke some rules during the filming, however, later in the article, it is clear that the “guidelines” were in order. Perhaps their panties are in a bunch because Palin's Alaska keeps the woman who would draw larger crowds at any given time that say, Obama, in the limelight.

Over at the Boston Herald, a snippy piece by one Lauren Falcone apparent Reality Television Show/entertainment critic, goes on the “rampage” over Bristol Palin’s appeal on the U.S. Realty Show, “Dancing with the Stars”. Clearly, Falcone is not a fan of young Bristol, and suggests the only reason she is in the program to begin with is that her mother “made her do it” for political reasons. Additionally, it is her mother’s followers who have brought Bristol back, week after week. The apparent bias towards the Palin’s in general oozes from the article, making this woman appear to be more bitter and jealous, fitted more for the op-ed section than any actual reporting (including entertainment). The show, Dancing with the Stars, has had controversial political personalities and or their spouses (relatives) since the get go . It brings in ratings, and Ms. Bristol Palin, would certainly fulfill that need for the show and the network.

Blaming the Tea Party and Hillbuzz.org for Bristol’s success, while at the same time suggesting it is some type of “plot” by Sarah Palin, to propel her family into the limelight, suggest more about the character (or lack thereof) of Ms. Falcone. However, when one begins to look at the millions of Ms. Falcones and hysterical environmentalist, a theme that never abated, is begun anew. With the increase in failures of President Obama and the likelihood of a Palin run in 2012, on the horizon, these individuals now sound a bit desperate, there bite, more bluff and bluster, and their sanity in question. Bush Derangement Syndrome was nothing compared to what may happen should Palin actually decide to run, let alone is she is elected to the Presidency. The better tactic is always to take the high road, journalism having dissolved into editorial drivel, regardless of placement in the daily paper or evening news, otherwise, the risk of sounding ridicules will continue and will aid in enhancing the populist persona that is Sarah Palin.
