Safe to say Sarah Palin is not a fan of the White House Correspondents Dinner.
On Saturday night, Sarah posted this early contender for Tweet of the Year:
“That #WHCD was pathetic. The rest of America was out there working our asses off, while these DC assclowns throw themselves a #nerdprom.”
Of course, there was immediate speculation that Sarah Palin’s Twitter was hacked, which is certainly feasible knowing Twitter’s lax security.
But at the same time, such a remark wouldn’t entirely be out of character.
The annual White House Correspondents Dinner is a total nerd prom, to be sure, but it’s a harmless tradition, no? And do nerds not deserve a prom?
Are politicians and journalists – or even CNN employees for that matter – not deserving of a night of fun in which President Obama and Conan tell jokes?
And is Sarah Palin of all people one to talk about working her ass off?
Actually, between signing her name on books, punditing on TV, starring on reality shows, giving speeches and who knows what else, she has five kids. Five!
Then again, she sort of quit her job mid-term when she didn’t feel like working her ass off for the citizens of Alaska who elected her anymore … so call it a wash.
