Sarah Palin Reads - Just Not Well!
Ah-ha! Foiled again, Sarah Palin!
The former Governor recently lost her patience with The Wall Street Journal writer Sudeep Reddy when he claimed that she didn't get her facts right regarding the price of groceries during a speech she gave, and she responded via Facebook by referencing an article in his newspaper that she claimed said quite the opposite!
However, although no one can deny now that Sarah Palin can read, Reddy has responded to HER response with proof that she just can't read very well!
Reddy proved via Twitter that Palin actually MISREAD the aforementioned Wall Street Journal article regarding grocery prices, which says in its first sentence that it's been "the tamest year of food pricing in nearly two decades."
He also re-tweeted Ryan Chittum, of the Columbia Journalism Review, who wrote:
Palin has a journalism degree, so I'm guessing she knows what an ethical no-no it is to misquote somebody like that. It ought to be awfully hard for her to get on her pedestal and condemn the media when she can't even quote somebody honestly. How about to make it up to Reddy, Palin lets a real reporter like him fly out to Wasilla to interview her for once instead of going to her house folks at Fox News?
Reddy then commented on her Facebook post, and wrote:
Weak demand, high unemployment and thrifty shoppers have led retailers to keep many prices from rising despite the rising cost of some commodities, including coffee and sugar. … Critics of the Fed's quantitative easing policy are focused primarily on concerns about potential future inflation.
And - touché!
Do U need some ice for that burn, Miz Palin? Rebuttal? Please??
LOLz!

Mischa Barton's Pain Is Beauty
Drinking & Cocaine?! Demi's Downfall Falls Deeper
Remember when you tried to show some intelligence once when you used the term Roads Scholar? lmao. You're at the bottom of the literacy ladder douchebag.
Perez,
You are a partisan bully. Stop being a hypocrite!
WE WANT SUNDEEP REDDY TO INVESTIGATE WHY HER FRIGGIN CANT DANCE NO TALENT DAUGHTER BRISTOL IS STILL 'SAFE' ON DANCING WITH THE STARS!! I SMELL SOME SHIZ GOING ON THERE. EVERY FRIGGIN REPUBLICAN ON THE PLANET MUST BE VOTING FOR THAT FAT OVERWEIGHT BABYMAMA!! DEFINITE FIX GOING ON BETWEEN PALIN AND ABC. WTF!
The woman is a dunce.
And some 30% of Americans still want her as their President!!??
WTF??
What burn?? Typical partisan politics. The "we're all happy, tolerant" Democrats doing their usual hating. She is still right. They didn't even rebutt that the prices are still going up, they merely try to band-aid the bleeding Obama administration by claiming the article says "it hasn't gone up to much more than it has in the past". Going up is still going up you bunch of Obama asskissers, so she is still right. Hurts that Fox news continues to kick the ass of your agencies doesn't it? "Real reporter"??? Got nothing left to use but adolescent school yard name calling huh? Truly pathetic.
Not to mention the article clearly says that the only reason that prices haven't risen even more is because people themselves have had to stop buying. Not due to any work whatsoever by the current administration. Typical.
Sarah "I'm sorry about pushing that LITTLE RED BUTTON by the phone, I thought it rang the kitchen; are there any survivors?"
Oh good God. I doubt she even scanned the article before she commented on it. Also if her stupid daughter is still on DWTS next week I will puke. I can't believe she has made it all these weeks. She can't dance.
the woman is an idiot
Mario - did hell freeze over? You are backing a WSJ writer which as you know works for the WSF, is also owned by one of your sworn enemies, Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Fox News?
That says something about you more than Sarah. You don't really care who heaps it on Sarah just as long as they do. You would sell your soul to take her down. What happened to your reformation?
I am not a Palin fan but I don't understand the continued anger and hatred of you Perez, Joy Behar and a number of liberals towards this woman….what has she done to personally affect you and others? I understand you disagree with her politics but why the anger and vitriol towards her family as well especially Bristol….I just don't understand this kind of mentality…..I really don't.
I really don't understand the need to criticize everything that Sarah Palin does. People make mistakes on a DAILY basis. Believe it or not, no one is perfect. I love your website Perez but I would appreciate it if you would stop bullying Sarah Palin.
I call bullshit on Sudeep Reddy and the Labor Department is full of ita as well. Reddy is stupid to rely on them for accurate information. Prices HAVE gone up considerably for pretty much everything
Well, it's settled. Mario doesn't have a Business Economics degree. Yes, there is grave concern about inflationary prices and the quantative easing. Way to go to slam someone and not have a clue WTF you're talking about. Palin happens to be right on this issue, dumbass.
Ok, I am not a supporter of Sarah Palin, but the article in question said that although there is a small percentage increase, certain items coffee, sugar, etc, meat are up significantly. And they are up, so the dispute is completely pointless. I don't think that she is stupid, and I don't think that she couldn't think of a newspaper when Katie Couric, who was desperately trying to achieve ratings when she attacked her in the infamous interview. Rather, I really believe that she didn't give a name as not to endorse. I really don't think I'm mistaken, but in all seriousness, although I don't agree with her politics, she does state what she thinks, and so many give vague, hard to pinpoint answers… Honestly, I miss Hilary Clinton. My friend worked on her campaign and she worked vigilantly to pass health care reform and she was the only candidate who fought for, yes, I'm going to say it - Gay Equality. She's not a charmer, but she was really, really solid.
Prices are't going up. Thanks to the extraconstitutional Federal Reserve's unending printing of fiat dollars, the value of the dollar is being reduced resulting in less purchasing power for the consumer. Both Palin and Sudeep Reddy suck.
