Sarah Palin's WTF Moment

Following President Obama's State of the Union Address, former beauty queen and sportscaster, Sarah Palin, had this to say to Faux News' Greta Van Susteren, "His theme last night in the State of the Union was the WTF -- winning the future. And I thought, okay. That acronym? Spot on. There were a lot of WTF moments throughout that speech."

Now, I'm not going to try and take the moral high road here and claim I've never written those three letters in succession before. Believe me, I have, often times at the expense of something Ms. Palin did or said. However, let's not forget what the GOP likes to claim, that they're the party of family values. Ms. Palin claims to be a Christian. So, why then use that acronym, when it stands for "What the F***?"

Also, who does this former sportscaster think she is? Like I mentioned, there have been numerous occasions when I have written "WTF" after hearing or observing something Sarah Palin said or did. She has had plenty of WTF moment, to be certain. In fact, it's kind of funny when one thinks about it, because in the grand scheme of things, WTF has Sarah Palin done? This is what many people were asking in the run-up to the 2008 election. A lot of independents and those sitting on the fence with their vote, after learning more about Palin and hearing her speak, said, "Eh, WTF has she done? I'm going to vote for Obama."

WTF indeed. I honestly wonder how many times Katie Couric mentally stated this acronym when she interviewed Ms. Palin in the run-up to the 2008 election.

Couric: "Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?"

Palin: "We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state."

Couric: "WTF?"

Couric: "And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious: what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?"

Palin: "I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media."

Couric: "But, like, what ones specifically? I'm curious."

Palin: "All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years."

Couric: "Can you name a few?

Palin: "I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where, it's kind of suggested and it seems like, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C. may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America

Couric: "WTF?"

Couric: "Besides Roe v. Wade, what other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?"

Palin: "Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―"

Couric: "Can you think of any?"

Palin: "Well, I would think of any again that could best be dealt with on a more a local level."

Couric: "WTF?"

WTF indeed, Ms. Couric. WTF indeed. For as many WTF moments as Palin's had, a new national holiday should be named after her, called WTF Day. I just looked up WTF in the dictionary and guess whose picture I saw right next to the acronym? Sarah Palin. I even wonder if this is how she answers the telephone, "Hey, this is Sarah, WTF?" Sarah Palin is the epitome of WTF moments. Hopefully she'll continue moving her lips and letting words emanate from her mouth, so that we can experience many more. As the saying goes (or will go in the near future), "Where Palin goes, WTF moments will follow."
