Update: A really, really stupid attack on Palin
*
Michelle Malkin:

“It’s a pathetic and ill-informed act of desperation to try and turn the crony capitalism charge on Palin, which is a telling measure of how effective her voice is on this topic — and why so many would rather silence her.”

Michelle Malkin: Tina Fey recycles Palin rape kit lie

That one was debunked two years ago
*
Is the left so lacking in actual arguments to use against Gov. Palin that is must continually recycle DNC talking points that have been completely debunked? Apparently so, reports Michelle Malkin, who catches Hollyweirdo Tina Fey going back to the poisoned well of "campaign lies spread by the Soros-supported Internet smear machine":

Last night, comedian/actress Tina Fey won a humor award for her Sarah Palin schtick and used her acceptance speech to indulge in a broader swipe at the conservative women’s revolution in politics.

Via Newsbusters:

Comedienne and actress Tina Fey on Tuesday thanked former Alaska governor Sarah Palin as she accepted this year’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

According to the Washington Post, she then mocked conservative women “first to nervous laughter and then to not much laughter at all”:

In her acceptance speech, Fey touched on her best-known bit — her Palin imitation –and offered some mock hands-across-the-political-divide commentary. The rise of conservative women in politics, she said pointedly, is good for all women, “unless you don’t want to pay for your own rape kit . . . unless you’re a lesbian who wants to get married to your partner of 20 years . . . [or] unless you believe in evolution.”

[...]

Maybe the joke bombed because the joke is on Fey.

The “rape kit” canard was totally dismantled two years ago...

[...]

Fey went on to say: “I would be a liar and an idiot if I didn’t thank Sarah Palin for helping me get here tonight. My partial resemblance and her crazy voice are the two luckiest things that have ever happened to me.”

Well, I certainly agree about the “liar” and “idiot” parts.

We love the “first to nervous laughter and then to not much laughter at all” description, especially coming as it does from the left-wing Washington Post. Perhaps Tina's tired old one-trick pony needs to be put out to pasture.

Michelle Malkin:

"The 'Southside kid' can’t come up with the name of a single Chicago White Sox player, though he takes great pains to mention that he lived by 'Cominskey' (sic…double sic) Park… Can you imagine if Sarah Palin or George W. Bush had flubbed the softball question like the Gaffe Machine-in-Chief?"

Malkin: Schwarzenegger took on Palin and "failed miserably"

*
Michelle Malkin discussed Sarah Palin and more, including Tom Coburn, Ben Bernanke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, illegal immigration, climate change and health care on FOX and Friends:



At 4:00:

"She came back at him [Arnold Schwarzenegger] full throttle on her Facebook page, pointing out in fact that California is in the tank largely because of eco-zealotry and these environmental regulations that are based on flawed science. It was like watching Terminator 4 or 5 or whatever it was. And you have The Governator trying to take on another Sarah -- Sarah Palin instead of Sarah Conner -- and failed miserably, I believe."

At 5:55:

"You know what? I would have given Sarah Palin the Person of the Year Award She has more than anything over the past year to drive the Left and so many people crazy. And she certaily has kept the Huffington Post in business."

Michelle Malkin Meets Sarah Palin

M/M met Gov. Palin at the book signing event in Colorado Springs, and posted about it here. We excerpted a few nuggets:

"My family and I had the great honor and pleasure of meeting the governor, her husband Todd, adorable baby Trig, her lovely parents, relatives, and friends from near and far. Sarah’s energy is boundless and her ability to connect is unparalleled with any public figure I’ve met in covering politics over the last 17 years. I spoke, for example, with the first family in line for the book signing. They arrived at 4:30am with four kids in tow. Sarah, the father of the family told me, had written a personal letter sending prayers and good wishes for one of their children battling cancer."

[...]

"There are countless stories like this in every single city she has visited."

[...]

"I’m glad I got a chance to simply say 'Thank you' in person — for her strong conservative voice, for her relentless optimism in the face of unrelenting attacks, and for her public service as a defender of life and advocate of the American dream."

Conservative Women Rising: New Political Power

Conservative women, especially religious ones, have arrived. At National Catholic Reporter, Michael Sean Winters commented on their ascendancy in the Republican Party:

In all the commentary about the now former governor of Alaska, some of it comic, much of it trivial, a basic fact has been overlooked: Sarah Palin has come to represent a vital and vibrant constituency in the Republican Party -- religious women -- and they aren’t going [away] anytime soon.

[...]

In 2008, the last Republican challenger to John McCain in his quest for the nomination was pastor-turned-politician Mike Huckabee. Huckabee’s campaign had little money and was organized through the homeschooling movement, a social network that turned out to be a workable substitute for the millions of dollars raised by Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. That network consists almost entirely of women. In Huckabee they saw one of their champions, but in Sarah Palin they see one of their own.

[...]

No one knows what Palin’s intentions for 2012 are, perhaps not even the former governor herself. But if she chooses to run, I would not bet against her. The women who built the modern religious right are quite capable of building a nationwide campaign. The first social networking group to exert political influence is still networking and they don’t only exchange bread recipes anymore.

Scott Michaels at Entitlement Synrome celebrated seven strong, smart and fearless conservative women, including Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham and Star Parker:

What all of these women have in common is a firm conviction that the essential tenets of Conservatism in the 21st century — as opposed to the mushy-headed kinds pushed by Kathleen Parker and others of her ilk — is what will best serve the nation in the years ahead. And all have been fearless in speaking out against the neo-socialism being pushed by Barack Obama and his supernumeraries in the Congress.

Actually, maybe Republicans need to put these women in charge for awhile, what do you think?

We think that's an outstanding idea, Scott. We don't know if the others are active sportswomen like the former governor of Alaska, but Sarah Palin may be able to use her hunting skills to help Republican men track down their long lost spines.
