Palin: Todd and I live with racial discrimination, too!


Seriously. Just saw this at Wonkette. A black guy says, I'm the only minority here, what can we do to be more inclusive? I'm paraphrasing that, but here's part of Palin's actual answer:

"Todd is Alaskan and if you go up to Alaska, we have a problem with Todd being a minority up there. We live it."

So Todd...is a minority...for being an Alaskan...in Alaska.

Lord that's...oh I don't even know where to begin. It's like saying I'm a victim of racism where I live in Chicago because I was born in Philadelphia. The worst is when I'm walking down the street and people yell "brother-lover!" and throw cheesesteak rolls at me.

Actually Todd Palin is of partially Native American heritage. So perhaps that is to what Palin was referring.

Yes, Todd is part Yup'ik but I don't know if he is registered or even accepted by the tribe so don't know if he is a "minority" (gawwwd I hate that word.) I believe Gov. Palin has problems with the indigenous people in Alaska because of her hunting/fishing policies and her attempts to overturn federal laws protecting Native fishing rights.

Does anything this whack job (not my words) says resemble any kind of lucid thought?

Not that I've observed. If she has lucid thoughts she certainly isn't able to express them coherently.

Heh funny, I never expected that a minority could look like a spoiled frat boy. You learn something new everyday in Sarah's world!
