Video: The obligatory “Eminem goofs on Palin” clip

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.

He doesn’t suffer fools lightly, crapulus. You would NEVER survive.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:03 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.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:01 PM
Hehehehe…you know you’re going to check his site out just to see, don’t deny it.

I just listened to some KJ-52. He sounds alright. His voice sounds JUST like Eminem, but his style isn’t even close aside from some of Eminem’s slower stuff. It’s the more uptempo songs where Eminem really gets creative with rhyme and syncopation.
I mean, everybody has heard “Lose Yourself“… that’s just sick, and puts him in a different league than pretty much everyone else.
DaveS on April 7, 2009 at 11:04 PM
She said no though Baldi. I have to take her word for it.
She says she isn’t Little Debbie Snack Cakes who Jeff Goldstein and even the worst Gerbil over at Teh Squeaky Wheel used to mentally wrestle to the mat to a first period pin almost every night. That is, any night that she could loosen up her straight jacket and get to a computer.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Manlyrash at least honored his own self imposed banning. A lot of trolls were ban hammered and cheat by coming back on Freshman Day as new characters.
Ethics and optimism. Two words that should never appear in a sentence with these words; liberal or democrat.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:10 PM
I’ll submit that Lose Yourself is a pretty good song, but I don’t like his high nasally stuff, but then again, I really don’t like KJ’s high nasally stuff either.
MobileVideoEngineer on April 7, 2009 at 11:10 PM
That guy wrote the book on being a fool. I can’t believe he has his own site. Too funny.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:11 PM
Don’t you ever tire of that drivel?
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:13 PM
You’re an embarassment to the human race. I think he wins!
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:13 PM
That’s the first time I used that drivel.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Wow, the unknown variables in these are somewhat….nauseating…gaaahhh.
Stupidity and Lack of Common Sense (see capitulus, getalife, DTMH, et. al. nauseum) have gained too great a foothold in the gene pool already. No need for any more nightmare scenarios….
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Hahaha. “Blogging the New American Revolution”. Wow, that is funny stuff. If he was Paul Revere he’d be sitting backwards on the horse!
Hahaha!!
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Hehe… and let’s not forget the immortal words of “Slim Shady” in the song “Role Model”:
In other words, don’t spend too much time getting outrages over him and taking him too seriously.
DaveS on April 7, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Hey, it’s late. Drivel is expected. I might have ‘driveled’ a bit…
Haha!
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Laughing at your own jokes I see after becoming pals with ROTFL Poptech and BWAHAHAHAHAH Wall.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:19 PM
You’d be behind the barn with Paul Revere’s horse, crapulus. Turn the lights down low…..
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Lighten up! You got the comment of the day! Think about what an honor that is. This doesn’t happen to just anyone, you know.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Made you look.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Like Frau Blucher?
*Snort* ;-)
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:24 PM
LOL, Allah thinks this will hurt Palin? No way.
Kind of like Genesis featured Reagan as a demented fool in one of their music videos in the 80s, the much-less talented Eminema tries to portray Palin as a sex-object. Less politically damaging than dementia but I rest my case. Nothing new here, and it certainly won’t hurt her one bit.
People need to lighten up. Palin is the be-all of politics, pop culture and everything else. No sign of slowing down either.
Sanford? Some extremely uncharismatic governor below 50% approval in his own state.
Romney? A has-been who couldn’t even beat a tired old RINO for GOP nomination.
Etc, etc.
Wake me up when a thread about any other GOP candidate generate even a fraction of the interest Sarah Palin enjoys on a daily basis.
Norwegian on April 7, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Oh, you must have missed this:
Don’t you Toilet Bugs ever get tired of never standing up for anything?

capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:11 PM
So nothing to say about the site itself? Pretty good layout I’d say, though it needs a little tweaking around the edges.
Bishop on April 7, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Yeah, that whole freedom, values, and belief in the constitution is a hoot to liberal scabs from KOS.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Deb Frisch used to start acting like she was in charge of sites she was on too.
Passing out awards here now cappy, er Deb er….
Come on, I didn’t give up the money yet. Are you Debbie? Ed or Allah can check your IP for Eugene, Oregon.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:27 PM
I don’t know what’s more sad, the fact that he has a site or that there are idiots who visit it.

Ooof…bet you’re regretting that first comment.
Bishop on April 7, 2009 at 11:29 PM
Huh! Actually, it looks pretty good. I like the graphics up top and the font for the masthead is vg as well. Overall, a pretty decent effort – clearly time was spent putting it together.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:30 PM
OH NOES!!! BUSTED!!!
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Hee Hee.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:31 PM
What a surprise.
Well, you are black, so who am I to understand what you find offensive?
Guess what, I am white and therefore I find nothing offensive. I am not a victim. Keep on feeling though. It will only keep you exactly where you are.

All too easy.

Debbie does donuts, Debbie does Dallas, Debbie does Manly’s site. Debbie needs some penicillan.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:33 PM
here’s an idea, why don’t you big fearless capitulus go register on that site and tell this very thing (and anythnig else you feel like) to that “fool” directly. Oh, and make sure you register as “capitulus”. I want to follow your progress personally.
runner on April 7, 2009 at 11:33 PM
My argument.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 11:33 PM
You went there and got you ass handed to you already???
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 11:33 PM
I actually thought the video was very funny…even though the music sucked. I on the other hand have a sense of humor. I hope Sarah does too. I still love her though.

Good to see you’re honest about being an “idiot” for visiting Manly’s site.
Bishop on April 7, 2009 at 11:36 PM
Come on. It’s enough having to fumigate over here, don’t want her stink over there too. It’s a great site.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:36 PM
It would just be more passive-aggressive shit.
ddrintn on April 7, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Ok, I’m tired of answering questions. Keep an eye out for the evil-doers. They hate our freedom.
Ta-ta ladies.
capitulus on April 7, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Ummm…its a video parody. He said the women featured in it like Palin are ones he thinks are “hot” but don’t want him.
He thinks Palin is “hot” and Michelle not so much.
Eminem has every right to make this video if he wants to. Why do people want to censor or control what an artist does? (even if it is crappy)
Yes, this video is sexist and misogynist but so are 90% of rap, hip hop, and rock music videos.
I am interested to see how many feminists come out to defend the sexual objectification of Palin in this video.
sarahpalinfan99 on April 7, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Just like hitting the F7 key on your computer. Like clockwork.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Say Hi to Nedra for us!
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:39 PM
“It’s only Palin being lumped in with Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, et al. as a dopey sex object, not Hillary…”
Lets face it, Palin is way hotter than Hillary. choosing which to nail is a no brainer.
I do agree though, if he wanted to be edgy, he should have done this with Michelle Obama. But damnit, you, I, and everyone else here knows what would have happened. This would have been news story number 1 CNN, FOX, and ESPECIALLY MSNBC will cover it. And you’d here Matthews and Olberdouch… I mean Olbermann talking about how this is so wrong and so malicious and all that crap. And Eminem knows this would have seriously hurt his sales. Not because of those two maroons, but because most of the people that buy his music, likely supported Obama and very religiously I might add.
As a businessman, he likely made the right call.

Lefty feminists haven’t had any credibility since Paula Jones.

Thirded….Big Time…
BigWyo on April 7, 2009 at 11:42 PM
I disagree with Gutfeld on this, you have to listen to the lyrics its about having sex with Palin, a lot of guys think Palin is hot, no straight man wants to bang Michelle, she is built like a man.
lavell12 on April 7, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Btw, Youtube is full of videos treating Palin as a sex object. So any outrage over this should apply to Youtube as well since it allows those type of videos at its site.
sarahpalinfan99 on April 7, 2009 at 11:44 PM
don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you
runner on April 7, 2009 at 11:44 PM
…and no one’s really interested in Michelle Obama.
ddrintn on April 7, 2009 at 11:45 PM
“I’m offended by that phrase..”
This tells me enough about you.
You are black and angry.
Why don’t you try something original and suck it up like the rest of us? I hear ‘white folks’, ‘cracker’ and ‘white trash’ too often but it does not offend me; as I said before, I am white so I guess I can not comprehend what it is like being black and offended. I do believe that if you chose not too be offended so much you might find life tremendously more enjoyable.
Towash on April 7, 2009 at 11:46 PM
+100
sarahpalinfan99 on April 7, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Man, I would still bet a paycheck that crappytitless is Deb Frisch.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Holy crap are you new here. They don’t come any more Conservative than Baldi.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:47 PM
Keep calling her Deb, she might just break.
Bishop on April 7, 2009 at 11:47 PM
Yep.
HornetSting on April 7, 2009 at 11:48 PM
Amazing. I come out against racial epithets signifying white people and the Towash person thinks it knows “where” I am, whatever tf that means.
Fine. The next time some black people are calling you all names, I’ll forget about my principles–the principles which are the foundation of the policy that racial epithets are always wrong–and I’ll lambaste you people for feeling and berate you for playing the victim.
BTW, Towash, what was it that made you “think” that I was playing the victim/feeling card rather than operating from principle? Surely it wasn’t because I mentioned that I was black. Surely not.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 11:49 PM
Where did I insinuate that Baldi was not conservative? I am just pointing out how easily he feels offended by words. The words in question are ‘white trash’; that label has always meant Caucasian poor in my world.
Towash on April 7, 2009 at 11:50 PM
All racial epithets are offensive, not just those for white people. It’s called principles. Ever heard of them? And I’m not a man.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 11:53 PM
I have only ever once really spit soda on my screen from laughing. On Teh Squeaky Wheel, the site master automatically assigned an Avatar to Deb Frisch’s IP address and when she’d show up, she’d have this ugly old woman with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. That picture with the ridiculous comments Frisch would make just busted me up.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:54 PM
You insinuated that I was not a conservative by saying that I was operating from feelings rather than principles.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 11:54 PM
She, damn, check her link.
hawkdriver on April 7, 2009 at 11:54 PM
Why, oh, why, AP, do you CONTINUE to post “obligatory” items when you clearly can’t be bothered? “Obligatory” sends the message that you’d rather not post it, but *yawn* so many of your minions are clamoring for it, so you go ahead and expend your precious energy in doing so.
Can you act any more disinterested?
MsUnderestimated on April 7, 2009 at 11:55 PM
By your easily being offended by ‘white trash’. I may be a new poster but I have been lurking for over a year. I have read in the past about your being black and being offended by ‘white trash’; not as an epithet against white, but as a slur, somehow, against blacks.
Towash on April 7, 2009 at 11:55 PM
This isn’t just a problem for Palin, it’s a problem for conservatives in general. We are overwhelmed by a mouth-breathing segment of the population that is going to be swayed by MTV.
You shouldn’t be able to vote if you don’t have a clue (i.e., MTV’s audience).
John_Locke on April 7, 2009 at 11:56 PM
All,
I get my principles regarding race from the Bible, Old and New Testaments. If you don’t have a foundation for your principles, then you’re the one who is operating from feelings and/or fear.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 11:57 PM
See my comment at 11:57.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 11:57 PM
Sorry, ma’am. Your moniker is a bit confusing. I agree that all racial epithets are offensive. I just fail to see how a racial slur against white people somehow is construed as a racial slur against blacks.
Towash on April 7, 2009 at 11:58 PM
LOL! I heard Jack Cafferty say on CNN the other day that he had a big crush on Michelle. He was all giggles. I nearly fell out of my chair. I just thought, “Well, that explains a lot about Mr. Cafferty there!”
sarahpalinfan99 on April 7, 2009 at 11:58 PM
I’m also “easily offended” by murder, covetousness and many other things.
baldilocks on April 7, 2009 at 11:59 PM
I’ll just throw this out for grins. If I were you, I’d be all like, Hey, my bad Baldi, glad to meet another Conservative.
hawkdriver on April 8, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Great. That has no relevancy to anything since that is a pretty common offense for most sane people. But nice to know.
Towash on April 8, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Is it bad that I immediately thought of Obama’s economic policy?
John_Locke on April 8, 2009 at 12:02 AM
LOL hawkdriver
I’ll post my argument again.
What was so surprising?
baldilocks on April 8, 2009 at 12:03 AM
He’s either lying or drunk. Cafferty is skilled at both.
ddrintn on April 8, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Nope.
Saltysam on April 8, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Hawkdriver,
I will ask over at Protein Wisdom about capitulus. Jeff or Dan is probably available to confirm your suspicions.
Danger on April 8, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Covetousness is what he and his minions are all about.
baldilocks on April 8, 2009 at 12:04 AM
I was going more towards murder from the whole extortion angle for the AIG execs…
John_Locke on April 8, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Thanks for the suggestion. I am just a bit bothered by the fact that she finds a way to twist racial slurs against white people into racial epithets about blacks. I suppose I am just frustrated by victim hood and the idea that people get offended by words in a day when black comics and rap artists drop the word ‘nigger’ as if it were a benign term, yet a person can find offense in an epithet that is tied to a different race than theirs by claiming it is really a covert slam on their race.
Towash on April 8, 2009 at 12:07 AM
Thanks. Since I have an open mind I will gladly read your argument. Actually, I am very anxious to see how you can tie ‘white trash’ into being a slam on black people. :P
’surprise’ as in sarcasm. Predictable.
Towash on April 8, 2009 at 12:10 AM
capitulus is recalling her days doing the donkey shows in Tijuana.
jdkchem on April 8, 2009 at 12:15 AM
I’m white and I hate the term Whitetrash. I don’t think I’m being too sensitive to resent a word that’s intended to be used as a derogatory term which in it very nature makes an assertion of a persons worth based precisely on the color of their skin. It’s no stretch to get your arms around how the N word would make someone feel. So I guess I resent it in the same way she resents the WT word.
I’m off to bed but you just talk to Baldi a while and see if she doesn’t have you charmed before you check out too.
hawkdriver on April 8, 2009 at 12:16 AM
I missed this.
WTF???
Why don’t kiss my ass?
You know what? I won’t say a thing the next time those pinheads use a racial epithet for you. Will that make you happy?
I actually got called a traitor to blacks by a member of my family when I chided her for using the term ‘redneck.’ Now I’m being called “angry at white people” for the same sort of thing!!!
If you don’t understand what principles are, then that’s your problem, not mine.
And I still find it interesting that you assumed that because I was black, I was automatically angry. That says a lot–about you.
Piss off!
baldilocks on April 8, 2009 at 12:18 AM
Night, hawk!
HornetSting on April 8, 2009 at 12:18 AM
Maybe I’m not as uptight about this as some of you guys because I’m in my early 20’s. To me it’s simple. If you don’t like what he says in the song then don’t buy the cd. The end.
keepinitreal on April 8, 2009 at 12:19 AM
Why don’t YOU kiss my ass?
baldilocks on April 8, 2009 at 12:19 AM
Search for Eminem and Palin. They are taking them down as they find them, but this just worked for me:

Thanks hawkdriver. Good night and thanks for the constructive words of advice.
Towash on April 8, 2009 at 12:24 AM
Hung around a minute. Saw it (something) coming. Baldi you’re the most restrained commenter here. What the hell do you have to apologize for?
Cheers my friend and Good night again.
Towash, I hope you understand what your imagination and misconception did here.
hawkdriver on April 8, 2009 at 12:26 AM
Back on topic…
Jessica Alba is fed into a woodchipper and people are upset that they poke fun at Sarah Palin?
Reaps on April 8, 2009 at 12:26 AM
You’d be better off to tell Baldi that very same thing. Nite.
hawkdriver on April 8, 2009 at 12:27 AM
Haha. I guess it was just a baseless assumption on my part.
Sweet dreams.
