Big Bad Mean Media Gives McPalin Constitutional Constipation

Lulu and Phoebe are actually sleeping right now since they will be up late for Halloween. But before dozing off, they suggested that it would be a good idea if someone might send McPalin Constitutional Cliff notes for Dummies. Good idea Lulu and Phoebe!

Today, Palin actually said, with brother Todd hanging nearby, that the Press (and I give them a big P here) are infringing on her 1st amendment rights because they are pretty much making fun of everything she says. Hello?

I can't wait for the Olbermann video to hit the Internet. I can almost hear him right now. Governor! The press is obliged to speak freely however the heck they feel like. As are you. That is what the 1st amendment protects. Free speech. Even for the press. You ninny. It even protects your right to speak stupidly which you take advantage of every single day on national TV no less.

I could not make this up if I tried so here it is:

"In a conservative radio interview that aired in Washington, D.C. Friday morning, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin said she fears her First Amendment rights may be threatened by "attacks" from reporters who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign against Barack Obama.

Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama's associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate's free speech rights under the Constitution, Palin said.

"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."

And there you have it. So if anyone wants to donate a book called Constitution Lessons for Idiots, please send it along to the Governor's bordello, oops, office, in Alaska where she will be after next Wednesday. She's all yours Alaska!

Four more days to go.
