"Stay classy, LSM." -- Sarah Palin Attempts Jedi Mindtrick: Video Of Eyeroll Isn’t An Eyeroll
Sarah Palin Attempts Jedi Mindtrick: Video Of Eyeroll Isn’t An Eyeroll

5:33 pm EST August 9th, 2010 | Republicans | 7 Comments The video circulating today of Sarah Palin rolling her eyes at a teacher is now being disputed by Palin (Or more precisely, her ghostwriter):

The LSM has now decided to use this brief encounter for another one of their spin operations. They claim I – wait for it – “appear to roll my eyes” when the lady tells me she’s a teacher. Yes, it’s come to this: the media is now trying to turn my eyebrow movements into story lines. (Maybe that’s why Botox is all the rage – if you can’t move your eyebrows, your “eye rolling” can’t be misinterpreted!) If they had checked their facts first, they would have known that I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents were teachers, my father was a teacher, my brother is a teacher, my sister works in Special Needs classrooms, my aunt is a school nurse, my mom worked as a school secretary for much of her professional life, we all volunteer in classrooms, etc., etc., etc. Given that family history, how likely is it that I would “roll my eyes” at someone telling me that they too work in that honorable profession? Stay classy, LSM.

Of course, Sarah Palin did in fact roll her eyes at the mention of the woman’s occupation of “teacher” but she’s backpedaling now and telling her minions to ignore what their own liberally-biased eyes showed them

1. That was an eye roll for sure
Obviously there is great disdain for teachers.
I wonder why.

3. She cannot stop herself from responding to even the mildest provocation.
That is why any presidential hopes she may have will never come to fruition.

4. It's not an eye roll -- it's just her brain resetting itself.

7. It's sad the way the millions of $$ have affected this family. The husband, who


seemed to be a decent fellow, now looks cocky and over-indulged and not reserved, at all. The 17-yr-old daughter -- chewing her gum like a cow -- in attendance, with no apparent purpose in life or any goals, just enjoying each day as it comes, and the $$ rolls in.

It will be interesting to see how this family turns out in, say, 15 years or so.

9. Lady Sarah was the one who marched over to confront the woman who was protesting.

And then Palin goes on and on in her fishmonger voice about how she is "workin'" for people's right to free speech, etc.
And the eyeroll? I, for one, believe my own "lyin' eyes." There was a long pause and a LOT of "eye-rollin'" in that video right after the woman said that she was a teacher.

And one of Sarah's thugs, er, "supporters," then tore down the woman's sign - which had been posted on private property. Did Lady Sarah even mention that?
So much for Lady Sarah's respect for freedom of speech. Or any other constitutionally protected rights, e.g., the right to bear arms. Sarah's security detail also frisked everyone in sight.

But her minions will literally eat this BS up.

John McCain owes everyone Big Time - every day we are reminded of his huge lack of judgment.
