Palin says she'd deport Christina Aguilera for botching the national anthem

(CLARIFICATION: Palin did not, in fact, say this. It was a tongue-in-cheek link to an article that was intended as a joke.)

http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/02/08/conan-blasts-christina-over-super-bowl-anthe...

Also Us Weakly has now run a story admitting that they used fake quotes as well.

http://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/news/sarah-palin-tells-us-i-never-bashed...

Are you guys still talking about this stupid non-story?

Why??

"Here's another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesn't understand something so basic about America, yet we're supposed to tolerate her diva behavior? Americans can see through that, Sean."

Wow....that's some very serious PROJECTION.

this story was picked up as real news

"Turns out US Weekly isn't the only magazine willing to believe anything about Sarah Palin.
Earlier this week, US Weekly picked up a satirical story about Sarah Palin calling Christina Aguilera an 'airhead.'
Turns out they weren't the only ones. Time also fell for it. Yes. Time magazine. From their post:
Was Christina Aguilera's Star-Spangled Banner slip-up enough to provoke war? Conan apparently thinks so. And you thought Sarah Palin went overboard by commenting that she wanted to deport the singer?
That 'wanted to deport' link goes to a CurrentTV.com post titled 'Palin says she'd deport Christina Aguilera for botching the national anthem,' which is taken from the same satirical source that US Weekly fell for.
Fear not, Al Gore and Keith Olbermann lovers, Current did not fall for it. Their post is under the comedy section and at the bottom it says "For more Election 2012 laughs, visit www.SuperTuesdayNews.com - political satire served up daily"
Apparently Time didn't get that far.
I'm getting tired of saying lame about this stuff. But seriously? Time? In case they take it down, screengrab of the page below.

Well... I was hoping to follow Olbermann over here to this network for some intellectual discussions and news regarding politics..

Sadly that wont be happening, as many of you are completey devoid of intelligence and dont understand that this was a made up story....

oh boy my first time typing this on Current tv (I'm pretty sure there will be many more to follow):
SARAH PALIN IS A NONENTITY
spread it like peanut butter kids peace on earth and I LOVE YOU !

For all of you out there that believe Palin is entitled to speak her "mind", read the following. I believe this is what comes from not censoring vermin like Palin.....

Mississippi License Plate Proposed to Honor KKK Leader
Associated Press
/ February 10, 2011
The Mississippi Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans has proposed a series of license plates to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, including a design that will honor Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general and first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

Bwaahaahaa... "If I were president, I'd deport Ms. Aguilera back to wherever it is she's from ..." Aguilera was, in fact, born in New York and grew up in Pennsylvania.

They both have big mouths..

Please choose whether you want to be a news organization or the Onion. By hiring Olbermann, I had assumed the former, with this, I assume the latter.

You can't fall back on some barely visible random 'comedy' tag in the corner, because you also happen to report real news such as Anonymous's hacking of HBGary under this selfsame tag.

"Quite frankly, Sean, public figures must be held accountable for what they say," explained Palin.

SERIOUSLY??? Then what of this:

"But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies. We're bound to by treaty," Palin said in her analysis, before being corrected by the show's co-host.

Let's hold you accountable for that little slip-up Sarah.

Really Palin, Really?!?!?!?!?!

Someone needs to put that rabid dog down!

She needs to be deported for her IQ and trying to be popular.

this is a joke right.....?

oh wait its a satire. i thought so.

It's clear from comments here and elsewhere that this story reads as "true" to many people. It was even reported as fact on the San Francisco NBC affiliate's morning news!

What, no fancy pageant walkin'?

Or, a little more highbrow, if you want:

"The gaze of fools, and pageant of a day!" --Pope.

to the writer: Dude! you can't do satire on this chick b/c don't you know that truth is stranger than fiction? She would totally say something like this so people can't get that it's a joke! (me included b/c I initially believed it)

I D I O T,is Alaska turnin red with embarrassment yet?

Regarding A**H*** Palin's comment; "So often we see in others, that which we are ourselves....." If there was anyone that deserves throat cancer, it would be Palin.

Lets just let Christina practice for the next time, she really did mess it up.....I have an idea, lets deport Sarah Palin back to Alaska where she can see Russia on that rock out in the ocean where the Eskimos live, so she can hunt seals and walrussesss until doomsday. Oh, yeh put a gag in her mouth too!!

It did suck pretty bad... but Palin is still just flapping her gums... but hey it worked, at least we're thinking about her right?

OK, maybe that's a little TOO extreme there, should that include the Black Eyed Peas?

Yes, I've heard it sung well. Robert Merrill used to do it terrifically. But of course, he just sang it - and quickly, as written - he didn't stylize it. It really doesn't lend itself to rubato or scatting.

Our national anthem is impossible to sing!! Has anyone ever heard it sung well? And Ms. Aquilera attempted to turn it into a torch song as most people do, and it's painful! Only Jimi Hendrix managed to make this his own. As for that other diva, well, well played, whoever did this. Quite believable, I thought.

Deport one of America's most valuable cultural assets... oh wait never mind. You know what, maybe Palin's onto something here.

the funniest part of this satire is that it is entirely plausible

Coming from a "beauty queen" herself it's the pot calling the kettle beige.

I love that photo of Palin. It is like she is saying "WOW! Another million dollar pay check for doing nothing but irritating people!"

Why do you hate so much Sarah Palin? That you feel forced to make things up? Because she is a women and as such, after your narrow point of view, she should be a liberal?
You call this COMEDY but it's clearly intended to confuse people.

Um...folks...Sarah never said any of those things. See the word "comedy" just above the headline? It's a joke. Calm down.
Sheesh.

What was it Jayne used to say on Firefly? "That's Hi-larious."

I agree, Smells like the Onion... but funny as heck!

ALL snark. Smells like an Onion. But good stuff none-the-less...

Yes, sarah the American people do deserve better than a demanding- has-been- beauty queen, who's clearly in over her head, and we mean YOU. We are all so tired of you,go back to where ever YOU came from!!!!!

OBAMA??? umm..didn't FOX and the NFL hire her?

Ms. Palin, you need to read the U.S. Constitutin. I've known this for a long time, but you've just proved it again. Christina Agularia was born in New York. If you need a geography lesson too, New York is part of the United States of America.

I've just become a Christina fan! And Sarah, maybe next year Roseanne Barr could do it.

Wow.......... wow......... wow.... 'geez.... for once I'm at a loss for words..... It's hard to 'rag' on someone who 'rags' on him/herself..... it seems in this case, everything palin said about Christina......is pretty much what I would normally say about palin.....

That's quite ironic, because there is no disclosed craft capable of sending Palin to another dimension, or at least another galaxy.

to quote Sarah Palin "WTF"

The statements she made could easily be said about her! If only we could deport her...SP that is. And held accountable? Sarah, if you had been held accountable, you'd be out on bail by now, maybe.

So Palin can't hold her children accountable for their homophobic slurs but she wants to deport a latin-AMERICAN singer because she messed up somr of the words of a song......and let's face it it is just a SONG. Palin just keeps showing us that she is a Racist Homobhobe people like her shouldn't be allowed to hold office in this country it just perpetuates a vicious cycle.

Palin has said enough to show that she's not fit to be in Washington.

"Quite frankly, Sean, public figures must be held accountable for what they say," explained Palin. "Here's another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesn't understand something so basic about America, yet we're supposed to tolerate her diva behavior? Americans can see through that, Sean."

So I guess she's talking about herself as usual...

Best line : "I'm sure Ms. Aguilera is a very nice person, but I just think the American people deserve better than a demanding beauty queen who's clearly in over her head."

OK. So Palin wants us to hold public figures accountable. What if the state of Alaska, charges Palin for the cost of her quitting as Gov.? Yes, Palin should be held accountable. She was elected to do a job, not quit in the middle of it to pursue her celebrity. She should NOT be entitled to any benefits either. It's my opinion she is a racist by saying we should deport Christina. Christina might be part latina, but she was born and raised in our country and pays taxes. So she has a God given right to live in this country. The more crap that comes out of Palin's mouth, the more she makes people dislike her attitude.

it would be comedy if she really said it, not sure if she did but all the nutty things she says she probable would say it if given the opportunity.

Sarah needs to sharpee this on her hand. 'You can't deport a US citizen from the USA!"

You know when she was McCain's VP choice I was not concerned about how much she new about world politics because I figure she could learn, I knew they was going to lose at least I hoped.

But after hearing the crazy things see says and the lack of interest to learn anything truthful made me realize that she is truly empty headed I mean really not even a moth flying around in their, she gives blondes a bad name.

I really don't pay much attention what she says because she is only out for the money she can make for herself and hopefully the people that support her will realize that... Money that is the only thing she is interested in.....

And to say she would Deport Christina for messing up the anthem makes you stop and say WTF. So now you can't make mistakes or people like her will take away your citizenship. Big time WTF.....

SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE!!!

Another Palin statement unencumbered by a thought. What a racist! But wait-she considers New York and Pennsylvania foreign countries because she can't see them from her house!

Why do we waste are time with Palin. If anyone should be deported it should be her. She's a joke''' I guess she saw Christina singing from her back door. And she see's Egypt too''''

At first, I thought it was real. Then I noticed satire at the bottom.

It actually does seem like something she would say...

Which brings me to my next point: Can we deport Failin' Palin?

Palin is calling for the deportation of an American citizen because she's a diva and should be held accountable for her words??

This is a joke, right?

$arah is as dumb as a box of dirt.

I want to see the real airhead diva, Sarah Palin, get up in front of massive audience and sing the national anthem without screwing up before criticizing others. Seriously though, Palin is a hateful, attention seeking person whose commentary is not worth listening to. Nothing she says makes any sense, with this being the most nonsensical. Palin is a laughing stock.

Oh my gosh, PlainPalin has the nerve to say: "Public figures must be held accountable for what they say"???? And she's exempted from this pitch she gives? Oh yeah, she's not really a public figure... more like a 7Dwarfs character named Dopey.

so many things wrong with her comment! Christina's the airhead diva going on T.V. running her mouth off?????? Christina is a foreigner???? Christina Aguilera is more American than Sarah Palin will ever be! Sarah is a racist pure and simple!!!!

I don't how I feel that this woman is so far out there that I wonderd for a second if this was parody or not.
