What an elegantly simple and eminently useful site: News Hounds, whose slogan is: We watch FOX so you don’t have to.

Palin on Fox News Sunday: Says Name-Calling “Unnecessary, It’s Inappropriate”—But Just Seconds Before, Calls Liberals “Kooks”

Holy, moley, has this weekend been action-packed or what? First, we got the privilege of hearing $100,000 worth of talking points when Sarah Palin spoke at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville—broadcast live on Fox, and re-broadcast on Fox, and today (2/7/10), I think re-re-re-broadcast on Fox. And also today, the event we’ve all been waiting for with nervous anticipation: Palin braved Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. (She probably would have been on sooner, but she washed her hands a few times and all her crib notes for the interview vanished. Took her some time to re-work writing “common sense solutions” on her palm seven times.) I imagine she thought it would be an interview like, say, Greta’s interviews—but Chris Wallace actually had some “gotcha” questions for her. The problem was that he accepted her pat answers and responses that were actual lies, and did no real follow-up. Some highlights: She mixed up Kentucky Republican Rand Paul, whom she supported, and Ron Paul. We can all see how that could happen. She gave Rush Limbaugh a pass on his “retard” comment because it was just “satire.” She made up a new word: “Laxadaisical”—just a typical Palinanity, the result of a lazy, uneducated diction. Oh, and husband and First Dude Todd didn’t really send any e-mails to officials while she was Governor of Alaska, he just “forwarded them on.” Grab a nice, hot cup of coffee, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, and let’s roll. With video.
