Palin Derangement Syndrome Stoops Even Lower

I thought it was odd enough wishy washy conservative David Frum used Bristol Palin's abandonment by Levi Johnson As an argument in favor of overturning Proposition 8, but Palin Derangement Syndrome has managed to reach new lows since then.

The left side of the photosphere was in a tizzy yesterday over video of Palin’s encounter with Kathleen Gustafson, a teacher who was holding a sign which said “Worst Governor Ever.” Palin went over to tlk to the woman and got an earful.

Gustafson was obnoxious and rude, claiming that Palin has sworn an oath “on her precious Bible” to serve the state of Alaska, but resigned early. Gustafson is making herself out to be a cheated citizen when she also makes it clear she was never a palin supporter in the first place.

Did Palin have to go over and address the woman? No, and the “Worst Governor Ever” sign was a big hint to not do so. But it is not in Palin’s nature to play it safe. Did she roll her eyes at Gustafson? Probably. Was it justified? Sure, why not? The woman was not sincere in her feelings. It the incident thw gotcha moment for which progressives have been waiting? I would hope progressives have higher standards, but spero meliora.

Now comes word that Levi Johnson, rather than making an adult film or getting the snot beat out of him by Michael Lohan in Celebrity Boxing, has a couple networks interested in a reality show in which he will run for mayor of Wasilla. The prospective series was arranged by Johnson’s agent, Tank.

Yes, Tank. Presumably, Johnson discovered his talent agent’s phone number scribbled in crayon on the men’s room wall of a tattoo parlor. One would think a guest spot on Jersey Shore would be too classy a career coup for this chap.

The best part? Johnson is disappointed. He would rather make an adult film, I guess, but he is being used as a dupe to embarrass Palin. The self-proclaimed ’effin redneck” is too stupid to know it.

But the real kicker here is not that Johnson is stupid. That is a given. It is that someone wats to make a reality show mocking the election process of a small town in Alaska as a means of taig jbs at Palin. Could they not be a little more creative about it? Set MacFarlane is still taking victory laps over a Family Guy joke about a developmentally challenged girl saying her mother was the governor of Alaska that I thought was neither mean spirited or funny.

If one is going to crow of possessing an air of superior sophistication than Palin, should not one not demonstrate a superior sophistication? It does not appear to bea requirement. Using her daughter as an example of white trash or an underage sex joke (Hello, David Letterman), pitching fits overran imperceptible eye roll, producing a reality show about her home town, and joking about having handicapped children will do I the high class criticism department.
