CNN insults great matriarch .....Betty Boop.

[Stuart G]

Can you imagine my surprise to know that poor Betty has been slimed by CNN...The matriarch of animation was compared in an insulting way to a low life named...........Sara Palin.....

Raw story has an analysis of this unspeakable event:

"CNN asked people on the street about Palin's winks, getting reactions ranging from "a nice fresh face" to "totally fake."

However, CNN may now have found the ultimate Palin comparison -- a 1932 cartoon titled "Betty Boop for President," in which Betty winks broadly while singing, "Some of you have money, while some are poor, you know. If you send me to Washington, I'll just divide the dough, oh!"

No doubt Palin, who insisted at the debate that paying taxes is "not patriotic," would consider Boop's plans for income redistribution -- along with her promises that "we will get things for nothing, movies, cabarets and jazz!" -- to mark her as a wild-eyed radical and probable associate of the Weather Underground."
