Latest Palin Non-Scandal: Her hairdresser?

[chanel]

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin traveled to Haiti this weekend as a guest of the Rev. Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse to spotlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the earthquake and cholera-stricken Caribbean (half an) island nation. Instead she has found herself embroiled in a scandal, accused of bringing a hair stylist on the trip to make herself look good for the cameras and "photo-ops.".

The Associated Press transmitted a photo from Haiti of Palin captioned, "Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center, has her hair done during a visit to a cholera treatment center set up by the NGO Samaritan's Purse in Cabaret, Haiti, Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Palin arrived Saturday in Haiti as part of a brief humanitarian mission. Dieu Nalio Chery / AP"

That photo and caption set off rabid attacks on Palin from the Huffington Post, the U.K.'s Daily Mail and, of course, Palingates.

...That's right, what the Palin-hating AP and others fail to report is that the "hair stylist" is Bristol Palin.

The AP photographer who sent the caption would have known that it was Bristol Palin, but by not mentioning her the AP was able to do a media hit on Palin but still be able to claim they told the "truth" with the caption.

I meant ME!

Ok. I'll try. See the t-shirt she's wearing? Made in China. True story.

 

[Article 15]

Shameless.

 

[L.K.Eder]

at least she did not block 2 runways on a major US airport for hours to get a fancy haircut.

now that would be a story that would hurt her.

even if made up.

 

[Capitalist]

Next it’ll be mean nasty Sarah entrapped the poor dimwitted reporter.
Did John Edwards go to Haiti, did she take her hair-stylist with her ?

 

[Stephanie]

I like seeing lefties having to eat crow early in the morning.

 

[Granny]

Had it been Michelle Obama .... or Hillary Clinton ....

 

[Capitalist]

Had it been Michelle Obama .... or Hillary Clinton ....

They usually have an entourage of 500 or so...........

 

[L.K.Eder]

here is the rabid attack from the huffington post piece.

There are two questions I can't quite answer, however. 1.) Compassion notwithstanding, could these exact same images have been created if it was Biden, Bill Clinton, Hillary or Nancy Pelosi moving around this camp with media in tow over the same afternoon? 2.) How much was it the Palin team's behavior, attitude or reputation that so encouraged these AP photographers (one or both local?) along with AP photo editors to suddenly drop the typical, everyday play-along (since we all get the difference between this vs. this) and deliver these scathing photo op-defying pictures of "the Sarah show?"

2 million.

and they spend 2 trillion a day.

 

[Ravi]

Chanel is a freeper? That explains a lot.

 

[Mr. H.]

I read somewhere that Palin is the most feared woman in America.. and the world.
Can't recall where I saw that...

 

[blastoff]

What I like about all this nonsense from the left is how Sarah handles it. Sometimes she just laughs it off but other times turns the tables and tweaks them right back by emphasizing how silly these fools are. Yet they obsess on and Sarah keeps smiling.

 

[Luissa]

This is the first time I have seen this story, way to give it credit Chanel.

Good thing she doesn't have to pay taxes on the free rent she gets, living in so many lefties' heads.

 

[CMike]

Sick bastards.

 

[ABikerSailor]

First time I've seen it as well.

But, a quick question.........she's not in office, she has no pull with the government, so what is her trip to Haiti for other than a photo op that she hopes to use to get the GOP nomination in 2012?

 

[chanel]

She delivered Christmas gifts to children inflicted with cholera and urged Americans not to forget the suffering still going on in Haiti. Horrible, horrible woman.

Well, it doesn't look good, why not just go for the right reasons instead of these incessant freaking photo opps? I don't care if it was Bristol, it reminds me of the funny skit Tina Fey did on her showing off her pagent walk.

Go and visit, don't worry about your hair.
