Mama Grisly Rolls Her Eyes At the Very Word "Teacher" And Then Tramples Free Speech While Claiming to Defend It



According to Shannon Moore's blogging on the incident,
Kathleen Gustafson is a teacher married to a local commercial fisherman. She felt like Sarah Palin had let the state down by becoming a dollar-chasing celebrity and ignoring the oath of office she’d sworn on a Bible… [A] Palin daughter chanted, “You’re just jealous”. Kathleen told Sarah she was disappointed that she dropped her responsibility to the state to bec[o]me a celebrity. Palin said incredulously, “I’m honored. No, she thinks I’m a celebrity!” … In what has become typical tragic irony, Sarah initially claimed to support Kathleen’s First Amendment Rights. But… one of Palin’s entourage tore down [Kathleen's] sign [a banner declaring "WORST GOVERNOR EVER"] to great applause from her group.

Mama Grisly is twirling, twirling towards Freedom! Can't you smell it? We're just jealous.
