Who does Sarah Palin think she is, not logging face time with the weirds who vaulted her into the elusive echelon of celebrity from where she sneers down at the gotcha media? I mean, if not for them, we wouldn't be brinking on a new class of insurgence, one who conflates the Bible with Going Rogue and possesses a distinct fear of words. At a recent book signing, Palin was all like, "Whatever, bitch. I do what I want. I'll go to Ann Taylor and buy a smart pantsuit. What-everr." And then she sashayed away, signing no more books. Which is when that booing ensued. Video follows.
As you can see, the throngs were none too pleased, although the mistake could easily be made that they were screaming, "Four more years!" as in "Four more years, Obama!" Yes, they are a fickle lot, those Palinistas. The details are gory. Turns out that a local Borders had distributed 1,000 wristbands, which were good for back-of-book John Hancocks by Sarah Palin. Alas, trouble! Several dozen people's wristbands weren't so much honored, but torn from their wrists.
Groaned Joe America to an area news crew, "We gave up our entire workday, stayed in the cold, my kids were crying." More acceptable places to wait line with your children: midnight releases of Twilight films or Harry Potter books. Or to get tickets from will-call at a Kylie Minogue show. But Joe America's complaints don't end there. "They went home with my wife. She was out here in the freezing cold all day. I feel like I don't want to support Sarah."
Another even more temperamental fan -- Jolene America, naturally -- told the same news crew, "We bought two books from Borders to have our receipt and our wristband to get it signed tonight. My books are going back to Borders tomorrow."
And so begins the backlash.
