Sarah Palin Spits Hot Verse At New York Times, Misses, Also Is Broke, Broke, Broke.

Yo, whut up, fo shizzle,uhh... you betcha!
As we all know, kids today love the rap, what with all the hippetty, and in many cases, the hoppetty as well, not to mention the mad rhymes. So it should be no surprise whatsoever that Sarah Palin, her finger, as ever, on the pulse of the culture, should use a reference to that popular musical genre Monday in a Faceplace post (and tweet) taking a shot at the failing New York Times, which is so very failing!

Yes, we'll get to the misspelled headline, too. Be patient.
Now, this particular bit of wordplay is not entirely without controversy, as it is adapted from a 2005 song by Kanye West and Jamie Foxx called Golddigger, whose actual lyrics proceed thusly:
"Now I aint saying she a gold digger
But she aint messing with no broke niggas"
Apart from her careful elision of the offensive epithet, the most notable thing about Ms. Palins witty reversal of the second line is that it renders the couplet utterly meaningless one might well observe of an actual golddigger that she conscientiously eschews associations with any penurious fellows, but it makes no sense whatsoever to suggest that a newspapers alleged flirtation with financial ruin makes it a golddigger in any sense of the term. Not that we really expect Sarah Palin to appreciate a subtle art like rap lyrics.
. . . .
The story Palin links to at Young Conservatives isnt exactly about how the New York Times is on the verge of financial collapse, either, although that headline about the announcement that could effect [sic] hundreds of employees sure tries to suggest the paper is facing tons and tons of layoffs. You see, the Times announced last Friday that it was going to redesign and consolidate office space in its huge Manhattan headquarters, freeing up eight floors of the building to rent to other businesses.
. . . .
The actual memo from publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and President/CEO Mark Thompson doesnt quite sound so gloomy as all that; instead, it suggests the company is reorganizing the floor plan to reflect how journalisming gets done in our New Digital Era, which is a bit different from when the Times moved into the building in 2007:
The current way we have configured our office makes us slower and less collaborative. It is also, frankly, too expensive to occupy this many floors when we dont truly need them. Weve made the decision to consolidate our footprint across the building to create a more dynamic, modern and open workplace, one that is better suited to the moment. Were planning significant investments in a redesign of our existing space in order to facilitate more cross-departmental collaboration.
. . . . .
Also, trod is past tense, you numpties. You meant tread. Not to mention Affect in your headline.
This has been your quarterly reminder that Sarah Palin is broke. Please send money.

(34,648 posts)for being pretty. Since republican boys like stupid girls to make them feel more manly, she plays extra stupid and they eat that shit up.
This is how you know she is not dumb. She was the only Republican to call Trump out about his 'crony capitalism' when he 'saved' those jobs.
She was the Republican that actually forced the oil companies to pay more taxes and they were pissed the fuck off. The next Republican repealed her oil tax law which led to our situation right now where we basically pay exxon to drill. Besides, I met her in person and she was only interested in what I thought about high heating costs in the villiages and whether we should used permanent fund monies to provide a bonus payment to every citizen to help them pay. I said yes. We got the money about a month and a half later. She is crazy. But she knows better than to let folks freeze and starve.
She plays stupid to perfection.

(2,505 posts)... 2 weeks ago. As some of you may know I've been a freelance crossword puzzle constructor "with" them for over 2 decades.
Trust me, they wouldn't have given "us" lot raises unless they could afford it.
Oh yeah, FYI Sarah: a phrase such as "FUCK OFF SARAH" would not be allowed in the NYT crossword... not that I'd ever dream about saying it.
