Poster’s Note: … And this Negro, so apparently limited in political intellect, wanted to be president of Haiti? Smdh

Wyclef Jean who was denied a nomination to run for President in Haiti’s election because of his long love residence in America has professed his love for former Republican US presidential candidate Sarah Palin. During an interview at the Urban Zen Center in NYC, Wyclef stated,

“I have to tell you this: I am a huge fan of Sarah Palin. Cause she’s rad. She’s shrewd. She’s cool. Because at the end of the day, I’m for the people, because this is the United States of America…this is what America’s really about. Anyone should have the right to say, ‘Look I can do the job and this is what qualifies me to do the job.’….Now my wife probably will debate and disagree with me.”

“I’m not saying she could be the next president, you know, but there’s something about her. Heavy debates in my house. Whenever I say Sarah Palin, people think I’m crazy, but I like her, I do. I can like whoever. This is America, right?”

Sarah Palin bedding a budding NBA star, snorting coke and cheating on the First Dude?

You betcha.

The scandalous details are revealed in the highly-anticipated tell-all “The Rogue: Searching for The Real Sarah Palin,” written by best-selling author Joe McGinniss.

Palin bedded future pro hoops player Glen Rice while he was playing at the University of Michigan, the National Enquirer reports about the McGinniss book.

The sharp-shooting Rice – who spent one season with the Knicks – was playing in the annual “Great Alaska Shootout” while Palin was a sports reporter with Anchorage television station KTUU, the Enquirer said. Their one-night stand over Thanksgiving weekend 1987 reportedly occurred in the dorm room of Palin’s kid sister at the University of Alaska Anchorage. (more…)

JUNEAU, Alaska – A former member of Sarah Palin’s inner circle has written a scathing tell-all, saying Palin was ready to quit as governor months before she actually resigned and was eager to leave office when more lucrative opportunities came around.

“In 2009 I had the sense if she made it to the White House and I had stayed silent, I could never forgive myself,” Frank Bailey told The Associated Press.

Palin’s attorney did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story.

“Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years” is due out Tuesday and based on tens of thousands of emails that Bailey said he kept during his time with Palin. It began with working on her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and continued through her failed run for vice president in 2008 and her brief stint as governor. (more…)

TUCSON, Ariz. – Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head Saturday by a gunman who opened fire outside a grocery store during a meeting with voters, killing a federal judge and five others in a rampage that rattled the country and left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the suspect over the edge.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Giffords was the target of a gunman whom he described as mentally unstable and possibly acting along with an accomplice. He said Giffords was among 13 people wounded in the melee that killed six people, including Arizona’s chief federal judge, a 9-year-old girl and an aide for the Democratic lawmaker. He said the rampage ended only after two people tackled the gunman.

The sheriff pointed to the vitriolic political rhetoric that has consumed the country as he denounced the shooting that claimed several of his friends as victims, including U.S. District Judge John Roll. The judge celebrated Mass on Saturday morning like he does every day before stopping by to say hello to his good friend Giffords.

“When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous,” the sheriff said. “And unfortunately, Arizona I think has become the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry.” (more…)

Sarah Palin called on Congress to cut all funds for National Public Radio. Palin wrote that we should “defund” NPR after it fired news analyst Juan Williams for comments he made on Fox News Channel disparaging Muslims.

Palin set off a firestorm that spread from extreme right-wing blogs to Bill O’Reilly to Capitol Hill. Later today, South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint plans to introduce legislation that would slash all funds to one of the last, best sources of journalism we have in America.

This is crazy. But with your help, we can stop it in its tracks.

Calling for Congress to defund NPR is nothing more than political opportunism by public figures who have built a career on such shenanigans. Regardless of what you think about Juan Williams’ dismissal, calling for the defunding of NPR as a result is like asking for the death penalty in small claims court. (more…)

Sarah Palin’s back. This time she’s coming to the aid of conservative talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger, who’s N-word ladden rant last week led to Tuesday’s announcement that she’s stepping down from her popular talk show to “gain her first amendment rights.” Palin’s message to Schlessinger, via Twitter, “Don’t retreat…reload!”

Yes, we’ve heard it before. The former Vice Presidential candidate tweeted the same message back in the spring after health care reform became law.

The full defense: “Dr.Laura: don’t retreat…reload! (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence”isn’t American,not fair”).” And then, more: “”Dr.Laura=even more powerful & effective w/out the shackles, so watch out Constitutional obstructionists. And b thankful 4 her voice, America!”

I wish all those people who were shouting “Drill baby drill!” had to wear wetsuits and “clean baby clean!” – eyecalone

Sarah Palin pathetically reading cheat notes scrawled on her hand at the Tea Party Convention Q&A session – February 6, 2010. She couldn’t have been asked an easier question: “What are your top 3 priorities?” By the time she got to #2, she had to read the cheat notes!!
