Sarah Palin: Media Boycott Will Keep Me From Being 'Blamed' For Egypt Uprising
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."

6. I can't with this stupid, martyr, "poor me" idiot
She's simultaneously so self-important she thinks she'll be blamed for the Egyptian uprising, and so self-pitying she has to fabricate some persecution by the media.

Go the fuck away, you ignorant, needy snowbilly.

14. It was a snarky remark on her part
She knows she won't be blamed, but she needed to find a way in insert herself back into the spotlight.

21. Bingo Randy. Creepy if TeaBaggers relate to the Egyptian Revolution
As if. It's a peaceful revolution, primarily. The violence in Egypt has mostly been the Government Cops beating heads. Government Cops looting in plain clothes as agent-saboteurs.

I guess they WISH Americans would rise up like this against Obama.
Creepy!

7. She takes a political upheaval in Egypt at least 12,000 miles from ......
..... Wasilla, Alaska and makes it about herself. She really is mentally ill.

10. It's a sacrifice, but if Egypt needs her, we should send her on over there.
Hell, I'll pay the ticket if she promises not to come back....ever.

Everywhere Palin turns she sees herself.

28. Step right up and watch the amazing Human Shoe Horn!
Watch as Sarah inserts herself into any and every headline-grabbing news story! No story is too trivial or too important as long as people are paying more attention to it than to her!
