Sarah Palin’s Alternate Universe

Daily Mail:

A teenager who sent threatening letters to right-wing US politician Sarah Palin has been arrested in her home state of Alaska.

Shawn Christy, 19, from Pennsylvania, had been issued a court order in October warning him to keep away from the Republican former-vice presidential candidate.

But Mrs Palin’s family have revealed that Mr Christy was held by the FBI in Anchorage, 50 miles from her home town of Wasilla. Authorities have ordered him to return to Pennsylvania.

Palin’s father, interviewed by the BBC:

He sent us and other people copies of a gun he’d bought, copies of a receipt for a gun he bought, copies of a one-way ticket to Anchorage. We kind of laugh it off, we got a restraining order on him, and lo and behold last week he showed up in Anchorage, from Pennsylvania, and fortunately the FBI was on top of it and sent him home.

Politico:

A spokesman for the FBI’s Anchorage field office denied British press reports that a stalker against whom Sarah Palin was granted a restraining order was arrested in Alaska…

An Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman also says they have no record of arresting Christy. A spokeswoman for the Anchorage Police Department, Anita Shell, also said her office had no record of contact with Christy.

We now return you to reality, already in progress.

They really don’t give a fuck if people catch them lying anymore, do they? What’s next, “Caribou Barbie wrestles grizzly bear to death, eats it raw”?

I finally figured out who Sarah Palin reminds me of. A real world less funny, less attractive version of Jane from BBC’s Coupling.

Jane: I’m being stalked, actually, so I’m pretty secure in my attractiveness.
Susan: You’re being stalked?
Jane: Is that so hard to believe?
Sally: My god!
Jane: Everyday on my way home from work, a man follows me. It’s true.
Susan: Well, have you been to the police?
Jane: They said I was being silly and paranoid. I heard them laughing after I left.
Sally: That’s terrible!
Susan: Well, have you confronted the man who follows you?
Jane: Well, there’s no point, is there? It’s never the same man twice. Sometimes they switch over when I’m halfway home. It’s so well organized!

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One: Sarah Palin is like The Game. If you think about her, you lose.

If you look at her boobs, you lose. This video completely captivates me, I enter into a trance-like state of zen consciousness when I watch it.

even joe the dumber has the god damn common courtesy to stay somewhat out of the spot light. soon the spot light will avoid sarah, the “speaking” engagements will dry up and it’s back to the fish boat and snow mobile racing tour for sarah and her brood. broke this time of course.
