All of the media is now talking about Chris Christie again. And somebody is feeling left out.

Courtesy of the Attention Whore's Facebook page:  

Good Lord, media - distract much? The Middle East isn't a tinderbox today? Our economy isn't in the tank today? Scandalous liberal politicians aren't getting busted in rapid succession today? Talk about ridiculous overkill. This Chris Christie press conference is the epitome of local politics, but you're taking this live and covering City Hall like it's Armageddon. Priorities, media... your priorities are so revealing. Christie is playing them like Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

“Look at me! Look at me! Look at me NOW! It is fun to have fun But you have to know how.”

Reminds me of the last book that Palin read and actually comprehended. 

It's as if she does not realize that with several cable channels providing 24 hours of news each day, and thousands of blogs and websites doing the same, there is more than enough time to report on Chris Christie, the situation in the Ukraine, and her stupidity with time left over to visit inmates suffering in prison.

But she's wrong, in fact here is Politico reporting on this very post, and revealing that she spelled Christie's name wrong: 

Palin, who in her original post spelled Christie’s name wrong, edited it in updates and added that Christie was “playing” the media.

See? And still plenty of time to talk about that missing plane in Malaysia. (Seriously if you are going to criticize the media for spending too much time on a story, THIS should be your jumping off point.)

The Hill even took time out of their very busy, busy day to critique Palin's habit of endorsing a candidate through Facebook and then wandering off to look at the next shiny object.  

Her late endorsement of Missouri Senate candidate Sarah Steelman in 2012 helped boost Steelman as well, though she ultimately fell short in her race against Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.). 

Palin’s most recent endorsement this cycle didn’t accomplish much, though. She backed Tea Party candidate Katrina Pierson against Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) but didn’t come in to campaign for her or help boost her past the initial endorsement. 

“It didn't help much at all,” said a Tea Party-aligned Texas GOP strategist. “It shows you the limitations of what an endorsement from Palin can do.” 

Republicans say her endorsement is still one of the most coveted out there in a competitive primary — it acts as a good housekeeping seal of approval for the anti-establishment base and can help generate buzz and excitement. But many sources echo that Palin rarely does much work past her initial endorsement, leaving it up to the candidates themselves to capitalize on that momentum. 

“Most endorsements are a one-click deal, she endorses on Facebook and thinks that should be enough,” said Harber, who worked on Steelman race. 

See there Granny Grifter, the media IS still able to report on the latest Chris Christie scandals, call you out on your bullshit as well. 

Now are you happy that they are paying attention to you again?

      That bridge and that traffic jam was not a local matter. It affected people who were driving to New York City, where it impacted business for four days. It also reflects badly on Christie as a possible presidential candidate. He hired those people, and when he fired them, he didn't ask who else was involved. Not good leadership qualities.

      9:52 - Not only did that shutdown affect interstate travel and commerce, it also occurred during the anniversary of 9/11, which could have easily turned into a national security nightmare.

      Christie allowed his enormous ego to influence his poor decisions, and his famous temper prevented those with sense on his staff from pointing out that it was a dangerous and stupid idea.

      The idea that micromanager Christie was unaware of what was happening in the top levels of his administration is just laughable.

    This from a lady who had to put out daily press releases to the national media when the Troopergate investigation was nearing its conclusion with Palin like Christie claiming exoneration when she was actually found guilty, Then on top of it was scolded by a judge for her involvement in getting Whooten fired and making claims against him that could not be backed up with a shred of evidence. Back in your hole, Palin.

      Speaking of Wooten, the judge hearing the divorce case between Wooten and Sarah's sister told Sarah and Todd to stop insulting Wooten in front of his chilren since that amounted to child abuse. If Sarah really wants more media attention, let's have some investigation about how Bristol has managed to take Tripp out of state in spite of the judge's orders-- how both Bristol and Sarah publicly insult Levi in spite of the judges orders.

    Sarah Palin does not want you to pay attention to the latest Christie stunt when he investigated himself and found himself innocent. He exonerated himself exactly the same way that Palin investigated herself during Troopergate, and surprise, she was exonerated, too. Pay no attention to real investigation, the Branchflower report which found that she abused her office as governor. She allowed Todd, acting as a shadow governor, to sit at a table in her office and use her phone to threaten people if they didn't fire her former brother-in-law, Trooper Wooten.

    There is a foot note to the story of Sarah's investigation which exonerated her during the 2008 election season. The idea came from John McCain, and Palin assumed that the campaign would pay for lawyer's bills. But, that would have been another example of Sarah, using her office as governor to enrich herself, and she was left to pay her own legal bills-- something that she has been angry about since 2008.

      She is too stupid and deluded to realize that Bridgegate is just like TrooperGate. Except national stage, more competent players, real investigation by the media.

      This Christie self investigation resembles the Palin TrooperGate stall and coverup. Just as lame and nearly as incompetent. With TrooperGate the candidate Sarah supposedly called Sambo won and then the Alaska Leg jammed TrooperGate and the lame ass coverup back where it came from.

      The paybacks continued back and forth, the final one was the iceberg that caused her to suddenly resign. The paybacks from TrooperGate was what really caused her to quit.

      Christie and NJ grift has NOTHING on Alaskan Oily grift. Captain Zero can give 10 times the favors (in billions of dollars) to his oily friends. Actually, the lower 48 is already on the hook for at least $40 Billion in Government financing to build an Alaskan gas pipeline. Just need to get the dill done to collect from you and me. Funny how that all worked out.

      Christie will end up quitting just like Sarah.

    Sarah should not keep daring the media to do their job and do real investigative reporting. They might just take a look at the unbelievable story that Sarah told about being pregnant while looking as slim as ever. No one was fooled by her decorative scarves. They should question the flight attendants on all of the airplanes that Palin flew in March 2008. No one noticed that the Governor of Alaska (not just some unknown passenger) needed a seat belt extender because she was 8 months pregnant. They might like to visit MatSu because MatSu does not deliver special needs, premature infants. If there is time, they transport the mother to Anchorage by ambulance. If there is no time, they deliver the baby and then rush the mother and premature infant to Anchorage. They do not have a neonatal ward.

    The media might want to look into Todd's assorted "businesses." The media might want to check out some of the hundred thousand dollars in consultants fees, paid out regularly by Sarah's PAC. (She keeps the PAC by posting ghost written endorsement on her facebook, which shows that she is politically active). If Sarah wants investigative reporting, I'll give her investigative reporting. In each filing, her PAC declares thousands and thousands of dollars in postage, in this day of tweets and emails. I know someone who made a donation to Sarah's PAC, and so far, that person has received exactly two emails and nothing from the USPS. Sally Heath $3,000 postage? Really? Sarah, you are so lucky that the media doesn't pay any attention to you.

Now he's got a major ethics problem -- not only the bridge closing, but who works for him, what kind of management he runs, etc. Plus, his probable lies.
    As well, anything that effects the most important bridge for trucks and cars going to a huge part do the country makes a great deal of news.
    Before this all ends, that troublesome press may draw comparisons between yr. sorry administration and Christie's.

    Just because your local and national Fox channels play so much Christie -- well, take it up with them.
    The GOP is having a meltdown because they want a winning candidate in the next Presidental election, and every one they float has more minuses than pluses.

    Wow, I clicked over to the The Hill link and the crazies are out in force in the comment section. Displays such as these are "exhibit A" in the argument of why the TeaParty keeps Mrs. Palin around; she really, really stirs up the crazies and further divides our country. The people protecting her are unapologetically racist, childish and apparently barely made it out of 4th grade. How can a person be proud of having cretins like these as supporters? How can Mrs. Palin say she loves America when her very agenda is to weaken the foundations by sowing dissent?

    Simply stated, she's a positive force for negative change and regression, unlike those who are a positive force for positive change and progress. She's a toxic attack dog for money, the worst type if whore there is.

    It would almost be better if she DID run for something, then she could finally be brought to her knees and silenced by her own record and lack of solutions to America's problems. As it stands now she does nothing but widen the cultural and political divide in this country and bring down the level of conversation to that of a playground tussle. I realize that stupid people need heroes too, but really, it's painful to watch.

    He is the guy who traveled around the country interviewing people. He hasn't had a chance to meet Palin yet. (He describes her as the emcee of the show). But, he is looking forward to meeting her during the second season.
    ARE YOU F........G KIDDING ME? A second season and they haven't even aired one episode? What makes them think that this is going to be such a big hit? Hint: There are a total of three co-hosts for the emcee. And remember, Todd is not hosting the Iditarod. He reads some historical facts (badly from cue cards). His 30 second spots are wedged in between commercials and ads for Sarah's Amazing show. That's not a host. That's an after thought.

      @1:47 Agreed, they are coming after women at every level and at every opportunity. Lower wages is another example. Unfortunately for them, more women are assuming positions of leadership in companies. There are more women in politics, yes, even the crazy ones like Michele Bachmann, but smart ones like Elizabeth Warren. Once upon a time, a woman's ambitions were to be a nurse, teacher or secretary, get married, have kids and then....We've come a long way in a relatively short period of time, and I don't want to see the Republicans take away any of it.

      Men have inserted themselves in that private discussion between a woman and a doctor. It's time that we are part of the embarrassing conversation that some guy has when he visits a doctor to get a prescription of a male enhancement drug. I think that he should have to undergo a prostate exam, because that might be causing the problem. It could be an inflamed urinary system. He needs to undergo that test where the doctor comes at the guy with a gloved hand.

    WHOO HOO!

    Poll: More Young People Aligning Themselves With Democratic Party

    Young adults have become substantially more likely to align themselves with the Democratic Party since 2006, according to a new poll.

    A Gallup poll released Friday found that over the last eight years the average gap in favor of the Democratic Party among young adults has been 18 percentage points. Last year 53 percent of young Americans identified with the Democratic Party or said they leaned Democratic while 35 percent aligned themselves with the Republican Party, Gallup said.

    The poll cites the racial and ethnic diversity of today's young adults as a major reason youth are likely to prefer the Democratic Party.

    Gallup estimated that 54 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds in the U.S. are non-Hispanic whites and 45 percent are nonwhite, compared to 71 percent non-Hispanic whites and 29 percent nonwhites when the poll began measuring Hispanic ethnicity in 1995.The poll found that in 2013 the Democratic Party had a 37-point advantage over Republican Party among nonwhite Americans between the ages of 18 and 29.

    The poll notes that the Democratic shift among young Americans comes at a time when senior citizens are more likely to identify as Republican.

    I'm a little confused by this. Generally speaking when you throw someone under the bus and you want them to play along, you add as much padding to the process as possible. That doesn't appear to be the Chris Chrisitie way. The main fallperson turns out to be former deputy chief of staff Bridget Kelly. And the "report" prepared by Christie's lawyer not only places all the criminal liability on her (along with David Wildstein). It also goes out of its way to say that she is, to put it bluntly, emotionally unstable and loose.

    The whole thing is vaguely reminiscent of David Brock's notorious line that Anita Hill was "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty." (If that line is before your time, Brock long since recanted, repented and a bunch else.)

    I'm not sure whether I need to be thinking of the LA Law or The Sopranos playbook to understand the motivation here. Kelly's lawyer says she's ready to talk to federal prosecutors about the Bridge Scandal so long as she's "provided with the appropriate procedural safeguards." So she seems ready to talk. Her lawyer thinks the attacks on Kelly's character are a warning shot that they'll tear her apart if she agrees to testify against Christie or his still protected associates. And that does seem like the most likely explanation.

    But which would you prefer, public character assassination or multiple years sitting in federal prison?

      Great comment! They are trying to embarrass her and shut her up. Hell has no fury like a woman scorned. It wasn't just Sepien who dumped Bridget. So did Christie when he fired her. He did not give her a chance to explain anything. He said publicly that she lied. Later, he amended that to, "Even if she told the truth, I still would have fired her." He's a trained lawyer and he never asked her why, who else was involved, what else did they do. Christie's dumping of Bridget was far more injurious than Sepien's. It gives Bridget ever reason to tell the federal prosecutors everything she know about Christie. She worked side by side with him.

      There is no way Christie didn't know about the lane closures. The fact that he threw his trusted aide under the bus just makes it worse. New Jerseyans have known for years that Christie is a petty bully, and the only justification we can give for electing him was that he was better than the the greedy, womanizing scumbag Jon Corzine. The plus side of all of this mess is that Christie has undoubtedly shown that he is not "presidential" and he seems to be the only nationally-known Republican that isn't bat shit crazy. The field of GOP hopefuls for 2016 just got a lot wackier.

      If you're hoping that one of your flunkies will take the fall for something you did, you should probably NOT trash her in the media, fire her, call her a liar, and say that she's emotionally unstable and professionally incompetent.

      Not only does that give her tremendous incentive to fry your fat ass in court, but it also calls into question your ability to hire and supervise competent, sane people.

      I DO so hope she gets immunity and takes that worthless piece of nasty, arrogant, corrupt, misogynistic garbage down.

      Even if Christie was one step removed from the actual planing, they knew what he wanted. I can hear Tony Soprano, I mean, Chris Christie saying, "Take care of it. I don't want to hear about it. Don't email me. Don't phone me. Don't tweet me. Don't make any written notes. Don't give me a note. Just take care of it and don't tell me anything."

      Her record in 2010 was 50%. I know, in baseball, if you hit over 350, you're doing pretty good, and batting 400 (40%) is even better. But, Sarah's record is half and half.

      2 Kings 2 43: Samuel was taunted by children saying"Go thou in baldness old man" so God sent a she bear to tear 43 of the children.

      I mean we have the baldness factor and the she bear Mama Grizzly factor and revenge factor all rolled into one! I hope she shares these inspiring bible stories with Tripp as he gets ready for bed..wait! maybe that's why he has to sleep with Mommy.

    Sarah isnt getting the attention she craves. But, I think there's more to it. Greta on her blog has been covering and discussing the Bridge-gate story and expressing some doubt about Christie's investigation being done by his cronies. In fact, many of Greta's commenters agree that they are suspicious of him.

    I think Sarah is jealous that Greta is focusing on Christie and angry that Greta is being more honest in finding truth rather than playing Republican defender. She's angry that Greta and Fox haven't even made a 'big dill' about her show. So, Sarah is going after Fox, including Megyn Kelly who interviewed Christie last night.

      That's a good point. If the media is absorbed in discussing Christie (or the plane or the mudslide), Palin has nothing to offer regarding these events. The only thing she can do is blast President Obama, and there is no way to connect him to the plane, the mud or Christie. And, the President is in contact with Putin. A majority of the people do not want a war with Russia. Six million people have signed up for ACA. She's got nothing but that lame show with 3 co-hosts coming up.

    Sarah made a big push to back Steve Lonegan in the NJ special Senate race against Corey Booker and even showed up to campaign with him. He's running for Congress this year and she's ignoring him. I guess she's lied last year when she told us he was so awesome.
