We all know that it was inevitable, but it seems as if the former Queen of Alaska demise is immanent. How do we know this, well, we just read it on Gawker.

Earlier this year, Palin used her clout with Alaska State Police to get 16 year-old Willow Palin off the hook after she and some high school buddies trashed a vacant home during a bender. The other kids were hung out to dry, and Alaska's Mat-Su Valley boiled at the injustice of Willow's preferential treatment. We warned that Palin should watch her back lest small-town high school drama explode in national scandal.

There's no scandal yet. But small-town drama has indeed bled into Palin's national profile. Crack Palin-debunking journalist Joe McGinniss moved right next door to Palin on Sarah Palin Lane in Wasilla, where he's planning to write his next book—on Sarah Palin. Now Glenn Beck is threatening to boycott McGinniss' publisher and Palin is putting up a huge fence and making fun of the guy on Facebook and everything.

Now while we wouldn't want to live next to Palin (let alone in the same town), we are certainly looking forward to all of the fun stuff that Mr. McGinniss will learn.

Now this is our idea of a good time!.

Memory is a funny thing, it grows fuzzy with age, and often the actual past isn't quite what we remember it as having been. Still, intentionally misremembering the past to further modern-day political agendas is, well, just wrong.

Listening to Sarah Palin, it is often difficult to determine whether her remarks demonstrate ignorance or dishonesty. She frequently waxes on about Ronald Reagan, for instance, revered ancestor of today's far right, whose real record bears little resemblance to the fantasies of extremists like her.

While attacking President Obama's nuclear weapons policies the other day -- and the strategic arms reduction treaty that he signed with Russia -- Palin said, "We miss Ronald Reagan, who used to say, when he would look at our enemies, he would say: 'No. You lose. We win.' That's what we miss. And that is what we have to get back to."

I mean, I understand why the Right loves this woman, she is attractive and can be molded to spew the empty rhetoric of their cause without having to be taught what it actually means, but really, can't anyone see that she is seriously see that she is just an opportunistic, shill, who has already sold her sold her soul to the devil of popular opinion because she is just a media whore.

I guess that you could have seen it coming, The moment Fox Media darling Sarah Palin went to work for Fox, that they would do everything they could to keep her front and center of the network, like their very own little logo. Still, this sounds like a little bit much.

Fox News has an unlikely adversary: rapper LL Cool J.

After the network announced that Sarah Palin would host a special Thursday called "Real American Stories" -- featuring interviews with LL Cool J, Toby Keith and other celebrities -- the rapper and country singer both hit back claiming they were lying.

"Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW," he tweeted.

Likewise, Toby Keith never sat down with Sarah Palin, Keith's spokesman told HifFix. "We were never contacted by Fox," Keith's spokesman said. "I have no idea what interview it's taken from. They're promoting this like it's a brand new interview."

I mean, really, re-editing old footage to make it seem as if she is their Go-to Girl. Still, all of this begs the question of weather or not the Faux News Network will have Sarah ask the same questions, or will have their make up new ones so that the pre-recorded answers make the interviewees be saying something else altogether.

Oh yeah, one other thing, Fox's response to LL Cool J's ire was:

"However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career." (Emphasis, Mine)

Fledgling? really Fox? LL has been acting since 1986 (with a role in Wildcats) with close to 30 roles (including several recurring roles on at least four TV shows, including a lead in NCIS Los Angeles

Sorry about any commercials before this little bit about the end of the world -- which as everyone knows, occurs in 2012.

OK, now this one is just fun. We just learned that ex-Governatrix, Sarah Palin's recent appearance on The Tonight Show (with old/new host Jay Leno) was digitally altered to make her appear more appealing. Yep, that's right, according to an individual who was in the audience, she totally bombed in her stand-up routine, and was not nearly the media darling that she appeared to be during the ham-handed, softball interview.

"Who needs teleprompters when a studio can simply insert canned laughter?

I've dealt with sound engineering for 30 years, as a film maker, interviewer, musician, working with master reel to reel tapes/decks at EMS Music in Seattle in the 80's as a sound duplication engineer, or setting sound levels for my and other bands in live situations at shows. I won a Hollywood award for animation in 2000. I know sound. And it's my opinion that audio portions of Sarah Palin's March 2nd appearance on Jay Leno's Tonight show were added or amplified, edited before broadcast to make it appear that Sarah Palin was more welcome than she was.

I know. I was there."

Makes you wonder how much of what we "witness" on TV has been faked (yes, I'm talking to you Fox News)

"They added laughter where there was none during uncomfortable portions. Well, there was some laughter. Mine, of derision. During those pregnant pauses in her performance I was laughing long and loud, couldn't help myself as much of what she was saying was utterly surreal, ridiculous, hypocritical - nonsense, spewed platitudes, pushed buttons. I was seriously thinking of leaving as it was getting hysterically unfunny.

After sitting through the taping of the show in the studio I can recount many portions where there was little or no laughter or response, but at the later broadcast they are smoothed over with applause and laughter that WERE NOT THERE at the taping. Groans, hoots, grumbling, or just dead silence - all missing."

Oh yeah, truth in reporting makes us want to add that the person who made this blogpost, was not only a former resident of Alaska (says he live there for 12 years), but is no fan of Palin.

In fact the guy also the published Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book, and had actually brought several to the taping, and passed them out to the audience prior to the start of the show.

Oh yeah, apparently there is a story making the rounds that Palin (who recently lifted everything from an Oscar freebie table) is currently pitching a reality show featuring her.

Talk about the vanishing ratings on TV, eh?

This just in, Sarah Palin is on the dole...Apparently ex-Governatrix Sarah Palin and her over-blown entourage of assistants, nannies, and security folk, descended "like locusts" on an Oscar swag suite, gloming onto freebies in a binge that "practically cleaned the place out," celebrity gossips reported today. Apparently, the former Alaska Gov's pigout included jewels from Pascal Mouawad, watches by Skagen and a fancy new hairdo for her daughter Willow. Witnesses said that the new coiffure came courtesy of Erick Orellana, Jennifer Aniston's longtime hairstylist.

The Los Angeles Times reported Palin was supposed to donate all of her gift items back to the Silver Spoon Oscar Suite for auction, as well as $1,700 of her own cash, in support of Red Cross efforts in Haiti and Chile.

The entertainment news outlet quoted an unnamed vendor who said that as many as 20 people from the Palin camp swarmed the event.

Nice to know that she is still thinking like a politician, "If i can see it it is mine. If I can put it in my pocket it's mine. If one of my people can pick it up and carry it out, it's is mine!"
