Writing Sarah Palin satire is an exercise in futility, since she is essentially a walking talking parody of herself already.

Okay I feel like I need to address this since it is now getting a little out of hand.

The Daily Currant wrote a piece in which they attribute these words to Sarah Palin: 

“If I were Obama I’d put all 11 million of these folks on boats and send them back to Mexico,” she opined. “The liberal media says it’s impossible to deport that many people. But I say we can do it if we have enough ships. 

“Let’s commandeer all the cruise ships, all the fishing vessels and all the yachts those fat cat Obama donors own. And then let’s pack ‘em full of illegals and send these people on a one-way cruise to Mexico City. 

“The long voyage back across the Mexican Ocean should give them plenty of time to think about how they shouldn’t be coming here to America and jeopardizing our freedom and prosperity by breaking our laws.”

Now the Daily Currant suggests that she said this during a Fox interview, so  right off the bat most of you should know that is impossible since we tend to cover those interviews here at IM. And let's face it, we would have been all over that if it were true.

Secondly you should always be a little skeptical when you think "You know that's even too crazy for her." Because chances are that yes it is probably too crazy for her.

And third by now you should all know that there are sites like the Daily Currant and the Onion out there that brilliantly make up these stories for our entertainment, and that they should NOT be taken seriously.

In fact here is a list that you can refer to in the future to keep from being fooled again.

Now before any of you start to feel embarrassed that you were suckered let me assure you that it has happened to me before as well. And there are plenty of news outlets, like Fox and Breitbart, that still get punked with some frequency.

For this one in particular I received at least a dozen e-mails and comments excitedly pointing to the article. And that includes one from my daughter last night, which simply said "Did you hear what Sarah Palin said yesterday?"

Of course that could have been anything, but it turned out to be this article which all of her friends were buzzing about.

And that's really the point right? Getting buzz and fishing for clicks.

However it makes what I do all the more challenging. Because when I dig up an actual crazy fact about Sarah Palin it is immediately in competition for attention with all of these fake crazy "facts" about Sarah Palin.

So let's do us all a favor and try to double check sources before sharing some of this stuff on Facebook Twitter, or here at IM.

Let me end this by thanking you for your support, and the many legitimate links that you DO send my direction. It makes this job a whole lot easier as I certainly don't have enough time to scour the internet effectively on my own.

    I thought that the Smithsonian piece was satire, name Sarah a significant first woman of America. She hasn't been first in anything. She came in second in 2008.

      Actually the Ol' Loser came in fourth.

      The winner was President Barack Obama.
      Second was Vice-President Joe Biden.
      Losing at third was John McCain.
      And coming in a sorry-a**ed fourth and last was the Ol' TWOBULLed Hoohah herself.

      Our electoral process isn't any two-bit beauty contest that place winners from winner-winner to winner-loser to loser.

    The best part of the Daily Currant satire was when her Pee People came over there to argue that Sarah never said that she could see Russia from her house, so there. We know that. We know that it was a skit on SNL when Tina Fey used comedy and exaggeration regarding Sarah's statement about Russian and Alaska being "this close" therefore giving her foreign policy experience. Sarah had no foreign policy experience and Alaska's maritime border with Russia did not give her any foreign policy experience. For her fans to keep bringing up the 6 year old joke is a joke. They are as bad as Sarah. They can't let things go. Wait a minute. The only person who can't get over that joke is Sarah, herself. Maybe that was Sarah, using one of her many on-line code-names arguing, once again, that she never said that she could see Russia from her house. Sarah can't stand it when anyone makes a joke about her.

      Hey man, she had her hair up (or hair down) and that means she's running in 2016. I can't believe that you are unable to find it in your tiny libtard brain to see that she gives clues about her higher political intentions by how she dresses the lively ferret on her head that passes for hair.

      You Elites just don't understand, and you never will, and that's why we need a person like Our Sarah to dip her fake tresses into the morass of public opinion and use her "political hair barometer" as a gauge to measure the political winds and go to where they blow her or where they lead her to blow others: (think Bill Krystol, John McCain, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limpbaugh). Those guys have all been blown, and I speak not of their minds.

      (Note: upon speaking with Mrs. Palin's spokespeople they did recognize that her "hair barometer" measures atmospheric pressure but it is her "hair anemometer" that measures the "political winds", hair to the left means ill winds coming, hair to the right means A-Okay. Wig blowing off her head and heading to Russia means Putin is in the neighborhood) and really, that Putin guy is even more bald than she is...

  3. The problem with Palin is that seriously, I can imagine her vaguely picturing the water place between oh, Florida and Texas/Mexico and thinking "Mexican Ocean? Yeah, I'll go with that."

    I will say that the putting 11 million people on boats was a bit much even for her.

    She graduated with anonymity

    In her five years of college, Sarah Palin left behind few traces, former professors and classmates say.

    MOSCOW, IDAHO — What can we learn about our political stars from impressions they made in college?

    Sen. John McCain is remembered as a passionate contrarian who won the hearts of his classmates at the Naval Academy. Sen. Barack Obama, who attended Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School, is remembered as a daunting scholar and calming influence. Sen. Joe Biden, who had a brush with plagiarism at Syracuse University College of Law, is remembered fondly by professors who found him charming.

    Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, however, is barely remembered at all.

    In the five years of her collegiate career, spanning four universities in three states, Palin left behind few traces.

    "Looking at this dynamic personality now, it mystifies me that I wouldn't remember her," said Jim Fisher, Palin's journalism instructor at the University of Idaho, where she graduated with a bachelor of science degree in journalism in 1987.

    Palin, he said, took his public affairs reporting class, an upper-division course limited to 15 students. "It's the funniest damn thing," Fisher said. "No one can recall her."

    "I don't remember her," said Roy Atwood, Palin's academic advisor at the university.

    Indeed, interviews with a dozen professors yielded not a single snippet of a memory.

    Most were perplexed and frustrated that they could offer no insight into a woman who has become their most famous former student. Only a few classmates recalled her, and those with the strongest memories were people she had grown up with in Alaska.

    Some of her college anonymity is understandable. "She enrolled in and finished my class, American government, but I have had 12,000 students in my career, and maybe remember 400," said political scientist Tony Stewart, now retired from North Idaho College, which the future vice presidential candidate attended in 1983. Palin, he added, was not among them.

      Reading Sarah's facebook posts, it's hard to believe that she attended a university, let alone got a degree in journalism.

      When I went to college, kids who majored in journalism worked on the school newspaper. But Sarah left no trace. My neighbor's kid majored in broadcast journalism at a large state university, learning everything about radio and TV. She worked behind the scenes at the college radio and TV stations. Sarah? Her Sarah Palin Channel videos are the work of an amateur. Some journalism or communications major!

      It is hard to believe that someone who is supposedly so charismatic was so forgettable.

      The truth is that Sarah Heath had terribly low self esteem and couldn't wait to rush back to Alaska and into the arms of her uneducated loser boyfriend, Todd Palin. She still has terribly low self esteem, but she realized at some point that if she covered her cross-eyes with naughty librarian glasses, spackled on three inches of makeup, pushed up her breasts, licked her lips, and said vaguely raunchy things, men would pay attention to her.

      Sarah Heath Palin knows she's dumb, dull, and woefully average-looking. Everything she does is overcompensation for how bad she feels about herself.

      And now, she looks like she's literally starving herself to death.

      Oh, but Sarah's friend (who transferred with her from Hawaii) also remembered her in the same LA Times article as the gal who falsely rang a fire alarm in the Ketchum dorm. Just so so Sarah...back when she was too "shy" (not yet bolstered enough by her personality disorder) to try to get attention in a legitimate way.

      "Someone pulled the fire alarm next to my door," she said. "We all were told there is an invisible dye that squirts onto your hand when you pull the alarm and you're not going to be able to hide. And Sarah looked at her hands, and said, 'Oh my God, look!' And she went and confessed."

    4. the insufferable skank didn't graduate from any college, the numbers don't add up. Plus if she did her grades would be dismal. she refuses to show her diploma because she doesn't have one.

      Just as anything she can prove easily she won't because she will be shown as the dumbass she really is. No birth certificates for her questionable kids, no birth certificate from her, no college papers from word salad extraordinaire, no medical records...

      her whole life is one fat photoshopped/ghostwritten mess.

    Okay, all this has made me realize that a lot of people, on both sides of the political aisle, take life a LOT more seriously than I do. I'm having trouble understanding how people could be so gullible but somehow life has taken away their senses of humor. I recommend a daily diet of nothing but Comedy Central programming. Today is Saturday and there is a SouthPark Marathon. I've been watching since 8:00am and have had 2 cups of coffee and a 6-pack of beer. My sense of humor is intact and my sense of outrage is nonexistent. My TiVo lineup includes only 20 channels out of the 800 available to me and none of them include ANY sort of news (and actually no network programming, just a few cable things and most time is spent on Netflix/Hulu or Amazon Prime Video or games)

    I'm old and I had to give up on taking life to seriously, for health and mental well being. I do find out some of what is happening here at this blog and a few others but really I could spend the rest of my life on Comedy Central and be a happy person.

    Break free and stop being so serious!

    Does it really matter anymore?

    No satire, no comedy skit, no fake porno will ever be as bad as the brawl. Palin reality will always be worse than any Palin fiction.

    Not even the palinbots can deny this fact: Sarah cowered in the limo while her family of bullies got their noses bloodied.

    Only one mystery remains: Was Sarah more afraid of getting her ass kicked or was Sarah more afraid of having her wig snatched off her head?

      Those who are calling those who thought it was true bad names, remember...Sarah is the one who said--in Real Life on TV...that we should consider building dikes in the Gulf of Mexico to stop the oil spill.

      We used to all say "you can't make this stuff up" but now she's so dumb and predictable, that people can make up the most crazy stuff and others will just assume it is true given all the crazy stuff Sarah's on record saying.

    I haven't read all the comments, so perhaps someone has already mentioned this. A few years ago (post 2008) Yukon Wilma was on O'Reilly, and he asked her; "So whattdya wanna do? Ship these (illegal alien) people home? Load 'em onto boxcars, and return them to Mexico?" Her answer: "Well, yeah..." and went to to say why that's a good idea.. Maybe You Tube has a clip. And she was not joking.

    I'm having trouble understanding how people could be so gullible believing that Sarah Palin is America's energy expert. If Sarah Palin is America's energy expert then how come no has offered Sarah Palin a job in energy?

    If Sarah Palin is America's energy expert then how come Sarah Palin is not on any Fortune 500 board?

    In the energy business, money talks bullshit walks. Big and small oil companies knows that Sarah Palin is full of shit.

    Sarah Palin supposedly went to college and received her degree in journalism. Sarah Palin hasn't taken any college classes dealing with energy.

    Sarah Palin hasn't worked for any oil producing company.

    Sarah Palin hasn't worked for any energy company.

    SARAH PALIN WHAT THE FUCK MAKES YOU AMERICA'S ENERGY EXPERT?

    SARAH PALIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN FULL OF SHIT!

    SARAH PALIN SAID SHE RAISED A COMBAT VET AND WE CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER.

    WELL YOU CROSSED EYED SKANK YOU MAY BELIEVE YOU RAISED A COMBAT VET BUT ASK TRACK AND YOUR FUCKING EGO IS IN FOR A BIG SURPRISE.
