Video: The obligatory “Eminem goofs on Palin” clip
posted at 9:20 pm on April 7, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via the ‘Busters. No need to sound the feminist alarm here: It’s only Palin being lumped in with Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, et al. as a dopey sex object, not Hillary, so everything’s kosher with the sisterhood. As cheap and stupid as this is, and as cheap and stupid as the Johnstons’ tabloid turn was, this does hurt her by playing into the narrative that she’s not to be taken seriously. For every person who read her statement on missile defense last night, a dozen more will watch the Eminem video or the Tyra show and come away thinking she’s a sideshow. It’s not fair but it’s something she has to deal with. I wonder what another two years of it will do to her image by the time of the primaries.
Like Gutfeld says, if this tool had any nuts at all he would have pulled this on Michelle Obama instead of an easy, media-approved target like Palin. That wouldn’t have been right either, but unlike this, it would indeed have been “edgy.” Click the image to watch.

capitulus:
Dude,your being plain mean,your insulting the men who died
from Clinton’s lousy rules of engagement,and denying Armour
Support,on Billy’s ‘Meals on Wheels Mission’,and attempted
arrest,of Skyhook whats his name!
And,
Christian hate is very unbecoming of you!
Look,we all know Obama betrayed you,and has thrown his own
voters under da bus!
Focus your ANGER!!!!
canopfor on April 7, 2009 at 9:55 PM
No, Tommy_G, that won’t happen. They don’t really have a position to explain.
ddrintn on April 7, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Obama’s fluent in Liliputian.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 7, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Eh, it’s alright… the Palin bit is nothing particularly egregious, and the song is eh. Eminem is very talented, though.
DaveS on April 7, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Please tell me why he rocks? In all his music he seems to very antagonistic to women. He even wrote song about killing his wife. He hasn’t done anything “original” since 2001. All his songs sound and look the same. Insert blonde joke here type of stuff. And as for his rapping and writing skills they are pretty weak. Jay-Z seems like poet laureate compared the cheesy stuff Eminem comes up with.
terryannonline on April 7, 2009 at 9:57 PM
you got me there…except that sad time in Aerosmith’s career when they had to do that rap song with Run DMC.
tlynch001 on April 7, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Is the rest of the thread going to consist of highligting cap and making him or her the focal point, the important one everyone has to respond to?
CCRWM on April 7, 2009 at 9:58 PM
This must be a new usage of the word “talent” that I was previously unaware of.
Tommy_G on April 7, 2009 at 9:59 PM
if you like guys with stupid bleached hair, nasally voices, and increasingly lame rhymes…
blatantblue on April 7, 2009 at 9:59 PM
George Bush is bilingual. Obama can’t speak English without a teleprompter. The joke has no meaning.
ddrintn on April 7, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Enima maybe talented, but then again so is this dude.
MirCat on April 7, 2009 at 10:00 PM
If I call you “Little Debbie Snack Cakes” like we called you on “Don’t Hire Deb Frisch”, will you get angry?
PS
That chic in the vid, growl!
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Not clicking…
But keep it coming losers, all this dissing of Gov. Palin is going to reach the point where even the nutjobs will lose interest in doing it…then she will win the presidency in 2012.
Captain America on April 7, 2009 at 10:01 PM
I’m voting identity issues, king.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Eminem is a white guy doing a bad impression of a black guy. Mick Jagger was better at it.
ddrintn on April 7, 2009 at 10:03 PM
I say “Debbie DOES Snackcakes”, Hawk.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:03 PM
If it is Deb Frisch, she acts pretty manly in her relationships.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I’m SHOCKED that Allahpundit would post something negative about Sarah Palin!
thebronze on April 7, 2009 at 10:05 PM
They think,by disrespecting the Governor of Alaska,
and attacking her family,that SaraCuda will go away!
Wrong!!
But,again,you Lefty’s give,it your best shot!!
canopfor on April 7, 2009 at 10:05 PM
At least she doesn’t have a MANLYRASH, you know.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I’ve seen a picture of her recently. It would appear she is eating a lot of snack cakes lately.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:08 PM
What’s obligatory about it?
Ronnie on April 7, 2009 at 10:08 PM
And what percentage of those people actually vote? They have to get off the couch from watching MTV and make it to the polls on election day, remember. I say 10% max.
doug1981 on April 7, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Did cappy go take a nappy?
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:09 PM
I think you hurt her feeling, hawk. Boo-Hoo.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Like when she said she supports contraception and sex education in schools for kids who don’t get educated at home?
Get out of here, you loser.
doug1981 on April 7, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Waiting for their next talking points to arrive in their collective Inbox. Drones can’t argue on their own. That’s why they are TOVs.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 7, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Damn, boy feein da powwah.
I’m like capiticide.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Yep! And if they do vote, I am 99.9% sure they would vote for the more liberal of the candidates.
deidre on April 7, 2009 at 10:13 PM
I remember seeing parodies of Reagan in rock videos back in the 80s. Deja vu.
ddrintn on April 7, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Did cappy go nappy?
hawkdriver on April 7,2009 at 10:09PM.
hawkdriver:Well,stay safe,even Stateside!
cappy is either re-grouping,or
bugging out!!:)

The library closed for the night, so back to the streets for crapoly until morning.
Bishop on April 7, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Crap,forgot to put in take!Ugh.
canopfor on April 7, 2009 at 10:15 PM
I’ll tell y’all when I pull pitch. Thanks.
Geez, could she really be Deb Frisch and embarrassed now?
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:17 PM
There are approximately 10 billion places on the internet where we can read lefty morons calling President Bush stupid. Why do we need to allow capitulus and his buddies to do it here?
Speedwagon82 on April 7, 2009 at 10:17 PM
I’m offended by that phrase also and like TRC I’m black. Those are not just “any words.” It is a racial epithet.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Yes
I wouldn’t mind seeing some gladitorial ban-hammering go down.
blatantblue on April 7, 2009 at 10:19 PM
All of that crap is offensive.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 10:20 PM
I really miss that guy…
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 10:21 PM
I ‘see’ him every day on his site.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:22 PM
If it’s Deb Frisch, she might just be living on the street by now. Jeff Goldstein must have sued her for all she’s worth. All 57 bucks of her fortune. One for each state that she’s banned from using the internet in.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:23 PM
ddrintn on April 7, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Haha… Mick Jagger was good at it. But that isn’t what Eminem is. He’s pretty unique, and has uses rhyme and meter in a way that I’ve never heard before.
DaveS on April 7, 2009 at 10:23 PM
It’s called the elvis phenomenon. Those of us who love hip hop appreciate Eminem has some lyrical gifts (if his subject matter is really limited) but it’s just really disconcerting to hear people who do not listen to any hop hop talk about how much they enjoy hip hop. I even saw one commentator say that Eminem is a parody of hip hop, like he consciously does one, what a maroon. Eminem does not parody hip hop, he lives to be a hip hop artist. And he’s not horrible, he’s even quite good, I’m just annoyed at non-rap fans who openly are like “well he’s white so I like it.”
DeathToMediaHacks on April 7, 2009 at 10:25 PM
No he isn’t. :)
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Hey you. When’s the site going up?
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Ladies and Gents, if Baldi says she’s offended, I personally would take whatever offended her to heart. She’s a straight shooter. And Conservative.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:26 PM
There was a time when Eminem was untouchable, but this pretty hack. He sort of comes off like an Eminem tribute act.
holygoat on April 7, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Wow, that’s just great. Anyway..
Oh and my name isn’t Deb. Who is that anyway. I don’t have the energy to google the nonsense you luddites come up with .
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Gotta get there first. About three weeks to go.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:28 PM
You would. Isn’t that the clown who could ‘feel it in his bones’ or something that the old man would win in November? Good call!
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:28 PM
Why don’t you get in the corner with the other mutts shut the hell up and lick your @$$.

capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Breaking and entering is a crime, unless you got back in using ACORN’s patented “This is OUR house!” method in which case you have a while before the cops show up.
Bishop on April 7, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Just another lame irrelevant has been trying to be relevant by trashing someone who is popular and relevant.
And libs say Sarah Palin is irrelevant…
It’s quite funny that Mariah Carey has a song about Eminem called “Clown” and it fits him like a scuba suit.
MobileVideoEngineer on April 7, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Well, “Eminem” sort of has 3 distinct personalities…
1) Slim shady: the first one most people saw way back in the day, tends to be almost a “parody of rap”, obnoxious, very nasally, usually sets out to offend more than anything else, etc.
2) Eminem, the more serious harder-edged, street type
3) Marshall Mathers, the real guy behind the act, who had a rough upbringing, has a daughter, etc
All three personalities come out in his stuff, but this song is definitely the first of the 3.
DaveS on April 7, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Please, you have to tell me the truth. I have one more bet riding on you with SHMBOed. Are you really not Deb Frisch? You comment exactly like her only with just a little more restraint.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:31 PM
I don’t get this craptacular rapper’s appeal. He is a misogynist pig of the worst kind, yet I used to hear young girls playing his crappy songs all the time. Like Madonna and her fixation on Catholic bashing. It is sooo much safer to pound on those that won’t lash back. Emme shows he is as much a has-been as Madonna in that he won’t take on the media by choosing a Democrat, just like Allah said.
He could probably get a job writing Dr. Seuss books though.
JAM on April 7, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Oh, do shut up. You go on and on, just like a nag.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Is this guy still around? Aren’t they supposed to be gunned down by other hipper hopper performers at some point in their career?
Buddahpundit on April 7, 2009 at 10:32 PM
They can’t seem to find him. I think he’s working at Burger King.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:33 PM
I think yer on to something here…I went a watched a few vids of the cow and they pretty much fit the bill….
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Sarah Palin to insecure liberals;
“BOO!”
::change drawers::
reaganaut on April 7, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Yeah, that is the guy! Polls would come out daily showing Grandpa down 7, 8, 10% and he would say how victory was ahead. The PUMAs were going to turn the tide!
That guy was classic! Like Baghdad Bob with a flag lapel pin.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Is that what you manly types do in Wyoming? Make videos of livestock and then turn the lights down low and watch them?
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Angry, Unhinged Bitch….
If it isn’t her, it’s a close relative.
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 10:36 PM
I said shut up, Deb!
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:36 PM
No. That’s K-Fed aka Kevin Federline (fries!).
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 7, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Here’s one where he is in the character of “Marshall Mathers”–this is the actual guy who plays “Eminem”–rapping about over, incidentally, one of Aerosmith’s greatest tracks :-).
Here he’s waxing philosophical–er, sort of–about the effect music has on kids and lamenting the fact that kids idolize him and take rappers too seriously, but praising the power that music has to get kids through tough times.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but he’s definitely a multifaceted guy.
DaveS on April 7, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Marshall (and all his other iterations) should have stayed retired in Michigan. He had his moment(all drug induced) and he has nothing else to contribute me thinks.
runner on April 7, 2009 at 10:38 PM
I know. I’m giddy with excitement and I have a tingle running up the back of my leg. If I’ve found Little Debbie Snack Cakes, I’d be a hero over at Teh Squeaky Wheel. Those folks owned her, played her like a fiddle, rode her hard and put her up wet. SHe never knew what hit her.
Then she slowly lost her mind.
Jeff Goldstein would always have a lot of luck mentally slapping her around.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:41 PM
DaveS, nobody cares. I listen to hip-hop (Bone Thugs-N-Harmony mainly) and was actually stupid enough to buy one of his albums. If I want to listen to someone that sounds like him, I’ll listen to KJ-52 because at least he’s Christian and has substance.
KJ-52 actually has an open letter to Eminem with Dear Slim and Dear Slim Pt. 2. KJ is stronger than I am though because he says he prays for Eminem everyday.
MobileVideoEngineer on April 7, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Is that what you manly types do in Wyoming? Make videos of livestock and then turn the lights down low and watch them?
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Why would the lights have to be turned down low? I don’t get it.
Bishop on April 7, 2009 at 10:43 PM
It makes it all romantic-like.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:45 PM
Crapulus doesn’t want the livestock to see her naked.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:46 PM
What this video proves is that the US has become France…and all the wonderful things that follow from that will be ours.

No. Seriously, I’m not.
Hey I have a question for the lucky lady. What did she do in life to deserve a catch like you?
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:47 PM
I trust the feminist groups will be all over the television news networks tomorrow denouncing this sexist attitude towards a sitting female Governor … oh, wait; she’s conservative – we’ll hear nothing from these hypocritical “feminist” groups.
yogi41 on April 7, 2009 at 10:49 PM
MobileVideoEngineer on April 7, 2009 at 10:43 PM
I would say Eminem has some pretty substantive stuff (like the one I just linked above).
If you want someone else who sort of mimics Eminems style but has substance (and mimicry is what these people who “sound like him” do), check out K’Naan. Here he is describing his life in Somalia, mocking gangsta rappers who think they are “hardcore”. Though, he doesn’t really adopt the Eminem style here.
DaveS on April 7, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Well, you know what they say…
benny shakar on April 7, 2009 at 10:52 PM
I think you’re on to something about cap, hawkdriver. The good professor really likes to needle men and get into their personal lives. See her comment at 10:47.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 10:54 PM
A. ManlyRash made a bet with one of you smakTards on the election. He lost and to his credit, left HA..(quick..look up the words ‘honor’ and ‘dignity’…hint: they’re not in the Unhinged Liberal World View Version)
B. He had the very enjoyable knack to effortlessly slap zipper heads like Deb, getalife, and DTMH (a.k.a. Ward Churchill) down to the gutter where they belong.
C. I don’t live in Wyoming.
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 10:54 PM
It makes it all romantic-like.

Thank goodness. I hate rap and I wish they would all go die somewhere and shut up, no wait, shut up and then die.

This thread has officially gone Full On Retard.
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Ha! Quote of the day!
Back to that manly rash guy. I read some of those posts and the funniest thing wasn’t the idea that professional pollsters were all wrong and this internet prophet was correct but all of the sad people who would get upset seeing that Grandpa was polling down in VA and PA and NC etc. and would look to this clown for reassurance. They would leave happy because this joker could feel it in his bones that McCain would win.
The guy was like a luddite Jim Jones sans koolaid.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 10:57 PM
KJ-52 doesn’t mimic, he just happens to sound a lot like Eminem and he was raised in the ghetto of Tampa and was one of the only white kids just like Eminem was in Detroit. In fact KJ-52 says in his Dear Slim song that he used to get mad when people told him that he sounded like Slim Shady and Eminem because he is pretty much the same age as Eminem and started rapping around the same time.
MobileVideoEngineer on April 7, 2009 at 10:57 PM
You’ll be happy to know she doesn’t have to endure me forever. She’s dumping me after I leave.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Amazingly enough, crapulus is a GIRL. She gives a bad name to those of us under the double X persuasion.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Love em and leave em. Love those flyboys!
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 10:58 PM
I appreciate your umbrage on behalf of working class white people, but I can’t agree. The term “white trash,” at least originally, was a derogatory comment about someone’s social class, not his or her race. The fact that many black people now use the term as a racial insult doesn’t make it a racist insult, it just means they’re racists.
Infidoll on April 7, 2009 at 10:59 PM
That’s a funny joke. Folks in all 57 states agree.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 10:59 PM

Regardless, Manlyrash got more respect from us than you ever will. BTW, I think you have a run in your hose. Livestock get a little rough with ya?
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Oh no! He has his own site! Still waiting for the PUMAs? I don’t know what’s more sad, the fact that he has a site or that there are idiots who visit it.
