During a book signing event in Columbus, Ohio, Canadian Comedian Mary Walsh ambushed Palin with camera crew and microphone to seek her thoughts on the Canadian health care system (and ostensibly embarrass her as well.)Dan Riehl agrees.
While the event security detail prevented a meaningful interview, Palin did provide some basic comments consistent with her conservative position. While many websites are now presenting this video clip as evidence of her naivete, the video actually acquits Palin quite well, and makes the comedian look far more foolish than her target. Perhaps more stunning is that this clip has received a lot of play on numerous news sites, despite the fact it comes from a comedy show.
And so we. After watching the clip, we have to wonder if Mary Walsh, whom we've never heard of, is really a "comic" as the story suggests. Aren't comics supposed to be funny? Walsh comes off as just another leftist tool. Her claim that "every word" in Going Rogue "is a lie" only demonstrates how unhinged she is, while Sarah Palin, as Mediaite says, did nothing more than express the opinion she was asked for.
That a number of nutroots blogs and liberal media outlets are trying to graft legs onto this torso of a non-story only reveals their desperation. All of the Wyle E. Coyote attempts by the Left to rain on Sarah Palin's book tour amount to a collective FAIL. Not an EPIC FAIL, but a FAIL nonetheless.
Update: At Big Hollywood, John Nolte's take:
"She was kind to this woman … twice. In the feeding frenzy of a book tour, America’s favorite Hockey Mom didn’t blow off or pretend not to hear someone who looked like she might be lucky to have a cable access show, she gave her a serious, thoughtful soundbyte…"- JP
"Leftist snobs laugh because in their cruel little pompous bubble no one would dream of taking a moment to talk to the Marg Delahuntys of the world..."
