Calling Rupert Murdock! There’s an errant hen in the Foxhouse. And she seems to have developed a particular penchant for pecking away at Sarah Palin – the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth notwithstanding.
Here’s Chicken Little’s MyFox New York story – in its entirety:
Sarah Palin Blacks Out John McCain’s Name on Hat
Published : Wednesday, 16 Dec 2009, 7:27 PM EST
By LILY FU(MYFOX NATIONAL) – Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin appears to be making a bold statement about her feelings for John McCain.
Palin was photographed in Hawaii while vacationing with her family and was sporting a visor that had blacked out “McCain for President,” leaving just a faint outline of his name, according to the New York Daily News. See photos from TMZ .
The paper adds that the message on her T-shirt was much more clear — “If you don’t love America,” it said on the front, “then why don’t you get the hell out,” it said on the back.
Palin has been on a nationwide tour promoting her bestselling book “Going Rogue” in which she admits that there was tension between her aides and the McCain camp while on the campaign trail . Palin writes that she was denied the chance to speak on election night and that McCain’s people constantly kept her “bottled up” from reporters. McCain has said that he considers Palin’s attacks “vicious .”
Now, here’s the rest of the story:
If you happen to click on the line “he considers Palin’s attacks “vicious” … lo and behold, it turns out that McCain wasn’t talking about Palin’s attacks on him at all — he was talking about the media’s attacks on Palin!
Here is his actual quote: “’I’ve never seen anything like it in all the years that I’ve been in politics, the viciousness and the personalization of the attacks on Sarah Palin.”
Now, that seems to suggest one of two things: either Ms. Fu can’t read – or she shouldn’t write. Not for Fox News, at any rate. Perhaps it’s time for the Farmer Rupert to toss out some bad eggs.
Mr. Murdoch, we report – you decide.
