Sarah Palin Appreciates Kathleen Parker’s ‘Admittance’ Via Twitter

» 49 comments

On the heels of Kathleen Parker‘s admission/boast that she “led the (media) assassination” of Sarah Palin during the 2008 campaign, the former Alaska governor struck back at Parker, putting another grizzly-sized footprint on the English language in the process. Via her Twitter feed, Palin said “Parker: appreciate your admittance. Now, I’m still standing; Standing by family, faith & flag. Who do u stand by today?”

Malapropisms aside, Palin seems to be taking a rather thinly-veiled shot at fellow gubernatorial resignee, and Parker/Spitzer co-host, Eliot Spitzer. In a bit of further irony, Palin, who resigned in the middle of her first term as Alaska governor, later tweeted an admonition to incoming GOP congressmen: “Don’t get wobbly.”

As it happens, Mediaite founder and NBC Chief Legal Analyst Dan Abrams paid a visit to Parker/Spitzer to discuss the Parker/Palin feud. Parker doubled down on her previous criticisms of Palin, and Abrams blamed at least part of Palin’s media troubles on a “bias for facts.”

    So when this stupid bimbo decides not to run in 2012, or runs and doesn’t get the nomination, can we please stop talking about her? Her looks will be gone by 2016 so then her deficiencies as a candidate will show and even the old, uneducated, white males won’t vote for her.

    And come on, at least Spitzer resigned. Vitter got another term. And I trust Eliot Spitzer a hell of a lot more on public policy than Palin and Vitter combined (although Vitter is surprisingly pretty smart. Check his ed. background. Duke, Oxford.)

    This is not the most interesting thing Sarah Palin has posted in the last 24 hours. This is:

    Welcome to all Republican Freshmen and congratulations!

    Congratulations to all of you for your contribution to this historic election, and for the contributions I am certain you will make to our country in the next two years. Your victory was hard fought, and the success belongs entirely to you and the staff and volunteers who spent countless hours working for this chance to put government back on the side of the people. Now you will come to Washington to serve your nation and leave your mark on history by reining in government spending, preserving our freedoms at home, and restoring America’s leadership abroad. Some of you have asked for my thoughts on how best to proceed in the weeks and months ahead and how best to advance an agenda that can move our country forward. I have a simple answer: stick to the principles that propelled your campaigns. When you take your oath to support and defend our Constitution and to faithfully discharge the duties of your office, remember that present and future generations of “We the People” are counting on you to stand by that oath. Never forget the people who sent you to Washington. Never forget the trust they placed in you to do the right thing.

    ….

    She so CRAZY, huh?

    The Obama Administration is filled to overflowing with people who have Ivy League degrees and who are oh so well spoken, but I haven’t seen much in the way of intelligence coming form that crowd. Look at the mess they’ve made in such a short time.

    Give me someone with a natural, native intelligence and common sense over a hyper-educated fool.

    Of course, the left confuses being glib with being smart. They are not the same, not even close.

    Yeah, we can see how well the Bush Administration did from 2000-2008. But yes, go ahead and blame the black man who came in 2009 who is now cleaning your guys’ mess. No wonder Bush went on his book tour AFTER the midterm elections. If he did it before, the electorate would have seen what morons they’ve put in office from the GOP.

  • njoy-d-ride

    Whenever someone claiming to be a “journalist” admits to leading the “assassination” of a political candidate, using those terms, I hope she doesn’t expect to be taken seriously as a journalist again.

    That’s weak. Playing the race card is a lame loser tactic of those who can’t make an argument on anything other than color. (Read a racist tactic…) And you know that if Bush had done a book tour before the election, he would have been accused of using the election both as a campaign tactic and to promote his book.

    Good for Sarah; we all know the only reason CNN hired Kathleen is because she is a conservative basher. Her “admittance” that she led the “assassination” of Palin should cause CNN grave concern. Is it any wonder that Parker/Spitzer has failed drastically? She giggles on air, showing just what an air head she is, and he stares at people with his beady little eyes.

    Sarah stands tall, not so much for Parker. She sits next to a disgraced democrat governor and claims we should all look past his indiscretions. What a bimbo she is.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Caplinger/1530802200 Mark Caplinger

    It’s pretty clear why liberals hate Sarah Palin. She has been able to shuffle a family with work,she believes in God and loves America. And oh yeh…… she doesn’t look like the typical female liberal,which means she doesn’t look like a man.

    Someone should check your educational background. Oh, we can’t because you are hiding behind a phony name. I suspect that you are a 15 year old playing with your fathers computer. Are you on the free lunch program at school?

  • Phocus2

    Parker is a hack that was thrown overboard by we the people. She has been reduced to sitting next to Client #9, a whore monger that some idiot at CNN thought people might listen to. Two people who didn’t make it in the big time, two losers soon to be flushed. Add to the group, Peggy Noonan who hasn’t written a credible column since Palin entered the scene.

    Meanwhile, Palin gets people elected, writes a stunning piece on the current Fed pumping, has her own cable series, and raises the ratings of any show she’s on.

    Parker and Noonan…both casualties of common sense woman who is still standing. Gotta love it. Sarah is the true American woman…open, honest, God fearing, funny, unflappable, and unstopable. Filled with the American spirit, Sarah brings out the worst in pretenders and those paralyzed by hate.

  • CosmosDan

    Of course Palin appreciates it. That way she can continue to deflect all criticism warranted or not , by claiming it”s just the media out to get her. That way she can to avoid all non friendly media for the same reason, so she never has to respond to any real in depth questions. She can get rich going from place to place and spouting general conservative principles. America truly is the land of opportunity.

    The real wails of anguish will be decent hard working Americans being screwed by a corrupt system that includes both parties while we bicker over petty bullshit.
    I don’t blame Palin or anyone for taking advantage of an opportunity to get rich. She makes good money being a conservative cheerleader. It takes a little more substance than that to actually get things done.

    To Tommy Christopher, All The Other Dumbells At Mediaite, And Its Really Stupid Commenters:

    Oxford Universal Dictionary, Third Edition:

    “Admittance” … “1. The action of admitting…. 3. Admitting as valid”. Those definitions of “admittance” have been valid, and the word has been in useage, since at least the 16th Century. Too bad you are all so poorly educated that you are unaware of the word, and the context of its use.

    The level of sheer stupidity displayed by you all is astounding. How does it feel to be “upstaged” in the “lexicography department” by Sara Palin? What a goddam group of stupid, pretentious a**holes you all are! Just think about it; you all are so proud of your “snark”, putting down this “unworthy” person, and the joke is on you. A perfect metaphore for such irredemable idiocy.

    Parker is jealous of Sarah Palin. Parker and the admitted whore monger will soon be seeking employment in another occupation after they are canned for dishonest reporting and plainly boring commentary.

    Sorry, but the definitions you cite are still in reference to the act of admitting as it relates to permission. The usage you describe, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is obsolete, with no citations since the 17th century.

    Tommy Christopher said:

    Word Origin & History

    admittance
    1580s, “the action of admitting,” formed in Eng. from admit (if from L., it would have been *admittence ; Fr. uses accès in this sense). Used formerly in senses where admission now prevails.
    Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper

  • Sailor

    To Tommy Christopher (following up on Pablo):

    If you review the OED (Universal, 3rd Ed.) for both “Admission” and “Admittance”, you will see that both have the same third definition “Admission: (3) The admitting (of anything) as proper, valid or true 1538″. “Admittance: (3) Admitting as valid, true, etc.– 1622″.

    And, the dates (with a quote from literature, etc.) listed in dictionary definitions generally refer to the earliest known use of a word in the context described, not when they were last used, i.e no longer acceptable (as I presume you would make an admittance in the case of Shakespear for contemporary times). Conveniently, in order to suit your snarky condescention, “admittance” (“admitting as valid, true, etc.”) is to be read out of the dictionary?

    So, the “snark” now is that Sara Palin wrote in a slightly more archaic way than you might choose? What a comedown from the meme that “Sara is stupid”. Perhaps you do not understand the finer points of difference between “admittance” and “admittence”, but Sara Pailin does? Perhaps she should have a talk with you? By the way, what college did you attend?

  • Sailor

    To Tommy Christopher: Is your point that no one can be free of ridicule if they properly use a word in a context not unversally popular since you were born? Or universally popular with your friends where you live, or where you were educated? Just what is your point Tommy?

    Wonder if Sara’s Alaska Show will get better ratings than Parker Spitz?

    Parker is nothing but a wet blanket for Spitzer to wipe himself with, but of course in a “we’re both equal” kind of way. Seems the producers were trying to create a knock-off of Hannity & Colmes where Spitzer is a dickweed progressive version of O’Reilly and Parker is some kind of right leaning Housewife/Alan Colmes who nervously speaks up for ratings but watches her mouth if she knows what’s good for her.

    As for Admittance, just look up Admittance (act of Admitting) and Admit (To allow to Enter OR To concede as True). I would imagine that a word-smith such as yourself could easily understand that when taken into CONTEXT “Admittance” in this case MUST mean “To concede as True”.

    Your attempt to belittle Sara’s word use shows your desperation and just how benign a force you are in comparison to Sara. “Hey, look at me! I made a feint attack on Sara Palin that almost could make her look bad in a nothing sort of way. I should get a trophy for just being on the team!”

    Good almost kick Tommy! Hooray for Bell Curves!

    Quite a lot , by what standard? Capitalizing on her 15 minutes? Quite successful as governor? again, by what standard? She quit in her first term to pursue a fortune, which is perfectly okay, but doesn’t make you an accomplished Governor.

    I ignored most of the personal stuff when she was nominated but looked at her record in politics. I remember some questionable stuff, but tell me, what good things are you referring to?
