At a speech in Reno on Saturday, Sarah Palin said she thinks a recently discussed media boycott of her is good--because then she won't get "blamed" for the uprising in Egypt.

According to a report by The Daily Beast, Palin made a clear reference to Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank's widely circulated pledge not to write anything about her for the whole of February. Milbank wrote that, since Palin did not hold political office and had become "more like Ann Coulter," he would try to ease his "obsession" with writing about her, or mentioning her in any media appearance, for a month.

Speaking at a meeting of the Safari Club, a hunting organization, Palin apparently said that was fine with her. The boycott, she said, "sounds good, because there's a lot of chaos in Cairo, and I can't wait to not get blamed for it--at least for a month."

Palin became a focal point during the discussions on rhetoric and civility in the wake of the Arizona shooting; people accused her of having soured the national discourse through her use of phrases such as "don't retreat, reload!" She struck back with her infamous "blood libel" video. Clearly, the sting of the talk surrounding her statements has not gone away.

1. Yes, Sarah, it's all about you.

I'm sure the "media boycott" won't stop you from Tweeting that Obama is to blame.

[wtmusic]

5. +1

What a self-centered worthless POS.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. Just when you think she can't be any more "tone deaf" than she already is...

...ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sarah Palin...also known as "the gift that keeps on giving."

:-)

[damntexdem]

26. Exactly! She's the center of it all.

And I'm really pissed at her for the cold weather expected this week. ;-)

[spanone]

2. fuck off sis sarah, no one cares anymore....go away...plueeeze

[SpiralHawk]

3. Blamed? WTF?

Sarah Pale Horse (R) does not want to be associated in any way with people seeking to throw off a brutal, torturing dictator and to attain their freedom and dignity?

How perfectly, despicably Republicon of her...

[drm604]

9. She's clueless.

Actually, her writers are clueless. She's worse than clueless.

[SpiralHawk]

25. Yet another FAILure of the Republicon 'intellect'

And the Baggers (R) think she is a 'leader'

[L. Coyote]

10. She fails to realize she could be taking credit for the Egyptian Tea Party leading the Rebellion

:rofl: change :rofl: is :rofl: a :rofl: very :rofl: scary :rofl: thing :rofl:

[Chipper Chat]

4. Four ugly words I don't care to hear anymore:

Sarah
Ann
Palin
Coulter
*
(my apologies to anyone named Sarah or Ann)

[DCKit]

6. Wow. I all really IS about Mooselini.

Does she have to buy an extra seat for that ego?

[hexola]

7. Once again showing her international political gravitas and depth...

Uh - Sarah - this is one that you want to be "blamed" for...

[Raksha]

8. Wow...total narcissist! She wishes everyone would blame her for the situation in Egypt,

because everything has to be all about HER. Sorry to disappoint you, Mooselini, but that particular connection never even crossed my mind until you mentioned it. And I'll do my best to keep it from ever crossing my mind again.

[Altoid_Cyclist]

11. Nothing but an Attention Addict.

She probably wouldn't even know where Egypt is and I'm pretty sure that she wouldn't know how to spell Cairo or Egypt.

When is someone going to let her know that her 15 minutes ended?

[AsahinaKimi]

12. Why IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT HER?

I bet she has an ego about the size of of Jupiter!!
Like Jupiter, She is also a gas bag...

[L. Coyote]

13. "I can see the blame from my paranoia"

[madmom]

14. AH.. a legend in her own mind!

[d_r]

15. the Safari Club?

was she giving lap dances?

[Raksha]

16. "...and I'm the Queen of Egypt" is usually said sarcastically,

although I'm not surprised Ms. Dipshit isn't bright enough to realize that.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Thankfully, there's a lot of open space in Alaska.

Plenty of room for that monstrously outsized ego to roam free.

[HughBeaumont]

18. Sar-UH - nearly always photographed with her mouth open.

How did this dumbbutt ever attain a political office of any kind?

Of course, we're all asking the same thing about Michelle Bachmann, too.

[livetohike]

20. Sar-duh

:-)

[underpants]

28. Well uh what did Tracy Morgan say about her?

;-) she knows what sells

[myrna minx]

21. I guess everything really *is* about her.

:puke:

[cbdo2007]

22. She is responsible for the Egypt uprising.

In her mind, she is the cause and effect of everything.

[maxrandb]

23. Too bad the Huffington Post didn't take that pledge

Can someone please explain to me the "newsworthy" aspect of some idiotic statement Carribou Barbie makes at a conference of fat, orange-vest wearing wingnuts?

[Cirque du So-What]

24. 'Blame?' Apparently Crosshairs Palin considers regime change in Egypt to be a bad thing

Once she realizes that the vast majority of people consider it to be a good thing, she'll start taking credit for the uprising, seeing how she's got this mavericky thing going, youbetcha.

[prolesunited]

33. A free and democratic ME

is not the goal of the neocons. They would rather have dictators keeping their people down and cutting lucrative deals with global corporations and helping fuel the war machine.

[goforit]

27. Meeeeeeeeeeeeee

[malaise]

29. Why doesn't this semi-literate Grifter

Shut the Fuck Up!!
:puke:

[tanyev]

30. The Amazing Sarah manages to shoehorn herself into yet more headlines

that formerly had nothing whatsoever to do with her! She's a one woman traveling carnival act.

[RobinA]

31. Please...

in order to be "blamed" for the uprising in Egypt (is that bad?) people would have to assume she knows where Egypt is.

[guitar man]

34. which she obviously doesn't

:rofl:

[somone]

32. Delusional idiot

[Arkana]

35. It's always about you, isn't it, Moosebreath?

Please go get kicked by a pissed-off caribou. Hard. In the face.

[cutlassmama]

36. Forever the victim. I know someone just like this. Always says

she's being persecuted when she isn't. Narcissist at her core. It's all about her. Palin will do anything to try to stay relevant.

[RegieRocker]

37. I guess when one is in Alaska for a long stretch of time

it becomes a necessity to entertain ones self. I think it has become permanent for her.

[MyrnaLoy]

38. Wait,

she say's the media is boycotting her at an event where she doesn't allow the media? Crazy!

[Rex]

39. Good! FINALLY we see Sarah taking (indrect) responsiblility for

one of her listeners trying to kill a congress woman! Bout time you idiot. I love the fact Sarah has been silenced by her own murderous words - it has to be eating her up alive! HAHAHA fucking HA!

Hey Palin, I know you blow meeses for a hobby but you should seriously look into it as a fulltime profession!!! :rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

40. Dear seek help, serious,

the world does not revolve around St. Sarah... or the passion of St. Sarah.
