Quoted at Deadline Hollywood.
By the way, the standard expression is "much to my chagrin." I think each individual is entitled to give his own report of his own chagrin. I'll wait to hear from Sacha Baron Cohen about whether he was chagrined. No I won't! He wasn't chagrined. Does Sarah Palin even know the meaning of the word? "Acute vexation, annoyance, or mortification, arising from disappointment, thwarting, or failure" (OED).
Palin is once again looking dumb. And here she is trying to defend herself in advance from some comedy clip that, I'll bet, makes her look dumb.
As for the quality of the humor and whether it's evil... I'll wait and see the show for myself. I'm impressed that Cohen is able to trick anyone anymore. His face is famous and his game is old. I've greatly enjoyed his interviews in the past, and when he goes after famous people, especially those who seek to exercise political power, I give him plenty of leeway. Puncture the pretentious. We need comedians to do that.

For some people, no number of hits to the noggin can awaken them from their slumber.
Perhaps that is best.
Cohen and Palin. Two has beens.
Let's all go watch the World Cup! And root for England! :-)
I think Sarah Palin could sense his chagrin, empathy is probably another one of her many talents.
Trumpists are all blinded to the reality of Trumpism ...
Well, the reality of Trumpism that I see is a booming economy, underemployed workers getting good wages again, people unemployed for so long that they no longer counted in the official unemployment statistics but today they have jobs, ISIS down to its last gasp, North Korea at the negotiating table, etc., record high employment for blacks and Hispanics, and all this accomplished in the face of #Resistance. I can only imagine what Trump could accomplish without the scum trying to impede him.
@Drago - precisely! I would say the term “sufferer”, by definition, is appropriate for this state. I don’t see that it diminishes anyone’s moral worth as a human being or is something that should cause offense.
It seems to have been a "long" interview, according to Palin. Having seen Cohen do these things in the past, I think we are going to find that the the gag was obvious within the first 2 minutes, but Palin didn't want to walk out in the calculation that would have made her look worse. When faced with this, there are three options for the public person- walk out immediately when you realize what you walked into (see the Ali G/Trump interview for a fine example of this), play along and try to turn the mocking around on the interviewer (few public officials are adept enough to do this, so you basically see no good examples of it), or play along as the straightman hoping to just last it out (sounds like what Palin tried to do unsuccessfully).
Oso Negro: "@Drago - precisely! I would say the term “sufferer”, by definition, is appropriate for this state."
Agree to disagree.
Respectfully.
Thanks, Hoodlum. Appreciate the righteous anger, though strictly speaking none of the protagonists deserve it. But don't get your hopes up about AA conceding she might have been just a tiny bit off. With regard to self-regard, she ain't cruelly neutral.
Anyway, for those who skipped earlier comments:
"No no no, you uptight non-woke Republicans don't understand: this comedian was impersonating a wounded US veteran for the purpose of making fun of Sarah Palin! That dumb bitch has it coming and anyone who objects to the form of the stunt in this case must just be too rigidly puritanical.
You all need to think deeply about how the ends justify the means and since the means in this case is making Sarah Palin and her daughter look foolish, well, what WOUDLN'T be permissible, right?
Solid, solid take Professor. You totally nailed us.
Yeah, what a whiny stupid bitch Palin is! She only took her own time to fly across the nation to meet with a person she thought was a wounded US veteran (to discuss matters of care for veterans); no big deal. She has the audacity to then put up a post complaining about it?! What a ridiculous baby.
Keep those glowing hot takes coming, Professor. You're really nailing them today.
Patronizing? Honestly, lady: fuck you. Cohen here is weaponizing empathy for wounded veterans and you're saying "hey, he knew Palin was stupid enough to fall for the ol' "care deeply about wounded veterans" shtick and it's her fault she got played--it's evidence of how stupid she is and by complaining about it it's evidence that she's a whiny baby and a bad sport."
I guess there's nothing you consider off limits or too sacred to be fucked with for purposes of poking fun at a dumb Republican woman, huh? Wounded veterans are fair game for use as a tool to trick people, cool.
Hey, I know! Let's fake some hate crimes against gays or something and see if we can tick a weepy former law professor into giving an interview about that topic--it'll be goddamn hilarious."
It's all about hating the Trump voter and hating the working class.
It's all about Hillary-lost butt hurt. The celebrity class, hardest hit.
Oh look- Steven Colbert mocks Brett Kavanaugh's first name.
“Good to see libs sticking with Hillary’s gameplan of hating the working class.”
I do agree that Palin should have her guard up at all times when it comes to this sort of stuff.
Good thing the hack press and the hypocrites of Hillarywoodland don't bother John Edwards like they do Palin.
Where is he?
Slightly off topic but I am pretty doggone tired of Chuck attacking Drago on every dang thread.
It really chaffs my hide !
It's always about Inga... never adding, always subtracting. Inga...
“Out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who had served in uniform, I sat through a long ‘interview’ full of Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm — but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen’s chagrin,” Palin continued. “The disrespect of our U.S. military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse.”
Palin went on to challenge Cohen, CBS and Showtime to donate all proceeds from the show to a charity “that actually respects and supports American Vets.”
“Mock politicians and innocent public personalities all you want, if that lets you sleep at night, but HOW DARE YOU mock those who have fought and served our country,” she wrote, adding, “Truly sick.”
Hmm... Mocking disabled vets? Wouldn't wanna open his mail, or. be starting his car for him.
"Sacha Baron Cohen at it again!" said Drudge, who always deletes his tweets shortly after they're published. "This time for CBS/SHOWTIME. Lots of tricks played. Both Republicans and Democrats are getting caught up in the madness. Sacha has finked Cheney, Palin, Howard Dean, Alberto Gonzales, Bernie, Trent Lott, Patraeus, Ted Koppel, and more… BEWARE!"
He gets some Dems also.
From what AA wrote Cohen has his people contact and dupe celebs agents. Good way to do it 'cause the celeb gets call from agent who believes the thing is legit.
For those thinking they are too smart to fall for scammers, don't be so smug. Occasional around here is "energy Company guy with ID and uniform needs to check meter in back yard. Homeowner follows guy into yard to handle dog or out of curiosity,, accomplice quickly robs house.
“Mock politicians and innocent public personalities all you want, if that lets you sleep at night, but HOW DARE YOU mock those who have fought and served our country,” she wrote, adding, “Truly sick.”
Commendable. That said, it doesn't sound like she was crying at all. She didn't cry then. She's not crying now.
Blogger Chuck said...
"...I'd be very surprised if anyone could find a single written word from me on this blog's comments pages that betrayed any sort of value judgment by my, concerning Sasha Baron Cohen."
Chuck, surely your sainted mother told you that you're known by the company you keep. Your "credibility gap" is entirely due to your hanging around with that Chuck guy.
Inga said...
And Trump Cultists are the most blind of all.
LOL, #Walkaway.

Too stupid to notice the world is LOLing back at her. #Walkaway
@Dickin’Bimbos, do you think Colbert would have the balls to mock that name to Brett Farve’s face?
"Palin is exploiting disabled vets as a distraction instead of gracefully accepting that she was tricked."
That's the least sensible thing I've ever seen from you, Althouse.
Impersonating a disabled vet for for personal gain is beyond the pale. Any actions that flow from that are the fault of the impersonator. The attempt to turn Palin into the bad guy here is nonsense and quite hard to understand.
"Inga said...
Oooooo, the outrage! Althousians are outraged, lol. More outrage over Althouse calling Palin dumb than outrage over (or even normal caring) over separating over 100 children under 5 years of age from their parents. Such outrage from the deeply caring Trumpists here, lol."
Our resident dullard didn't give two shits about these kids under Obama, or even under Trump, until the very second it became the latest battle cry of the left a few weeks ago. If the left decided it best to run them through a wood chipper she be instantly on board.
he should of impersonated a gay guy with AIDs..many more laughs

Boy, if that isn't the truth ! I doubt any other politician, including our leader chuck, could handle this pressure and hostility and still function.
Imagine what he could accomplish if people like Chuck Schumer were not trying to aid the enemy all the time.
Cohen's calling is a$$hole, it is his only talent. He isn't even a funny a$$hole. I think he is trying a Stormy Daniels comeback after falling into obscurity. He's going to need bigger boobs.
Don't expect the purblind Mrs Magoo to be able to see those things Mike and Mike.
Trumpists are all blinded to the reality of Trumpism, lol. What fools you are.
7/11/18, 12:13 PM
So the great majority of the military rank and file are fools?
Goodness, how can your daughter stand to be surrounded by such "fools" day in and day out? She stayed in the military? Why, isn't she afraid that the Trumpists will demote her and put her on permanent KP duty? Or make her trade in her dress blues for a long red robe?
LOL. Goes to show that you don't really believe the shit you spout.
Big Mike
Colbert is a ball-less leftwing prick tease. No way.
exiled: " She stayed in the military? Why, isn't she afraid that the Trumpists will demote her and put her on permanent KP duty? Or make her trade in her dress blues for a long red robe?"
It's worse than that.
According to Inga's good pal Ritmo, the only people who join the military are those that can't think for themselves, crave the ability to abuse others, and have parents that didn't care enough about them to educate them better to achieve things.
Naturally, Inga has not criticized Ritmo for that...."interesting" analysis of military members.
All Inga really knows is the majority of military members are nazi's...because they voted for Trump. And Inga offered no caveats to that assessment.
Palin - bolded,
“Out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who had served in uniform, I sat through a long ‘interview’ full of Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm — but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen’s chagrin,” Palin continued. “The disrespect of our U.S. military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse.”

Inga
Blinded are we? To GDP growth, unemployment, investor sentiment, a second SCOTUS pick, collapsing illegal immigration, incredibly helpful leftist nutbaggery, with lots to follow? We think not.
Maybe someone could explain why Sarah Palin is still a target for assholes on the left.
What office is she elected to?
What position of authority does she hold?
Is she the leader of some political party?
Do tell.
Jim at: "What office is she elected to?

Speaking Non-Truth to Non-Power
I'm sort of surprised that Althouse is taking Cohen's side. I would have thought that his dead ringer impersonation of her son in his movie would have upset her.
"Maybe someone could explain why Sarah Palin is still a target for assholes on the left."
-- The same reason that bullies pick on the same kids over and over again. As a reminder to the others what may happen if they stick their necks out too far.
“Why, isn't she afraid that the Trumpists will demote her and put her on permanent KP duty? Or make her trade in her dress blues for a long red robe?”
The ignorance is just amazing. Those in the military swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, they don’t swear a loyalty oath to the president.
What blind fools you are.
Inga: "The ignorance is just amazing. Those in the military swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, they don’t swear a loyalty oath to the president."
Apparently, just like nazi's.
Since that is what you called the majority of them.
Inga, by virtue of a child serving in the military, is now, presto-chang-o, an expert in all things military and would like to take a moment to lecture the many of you who are military veterans as to what it was all about.
LOL
Oh yes, I remember Ann Althouse. Hags gotta hag.
Not you LLR Chuck.
You were much too busy to serve as you prepared for a lifetime of enabling democrat hacks who attack our military.
But in a good "TrueConservative" way, naturally....
Palin should've punched him in the nose and said "I don't work for you, bitch", before walking out.
I'm having a hard time understanding why Obama didn't tap Inga to narrate all New Recruit Training video's, given her vast understanding of the military.
Strange indeed.
“I'm having a hard time understanding why Obama didn't tap Inga to narrate all New Recruit Training video's, given her vast understanding of the military.”
Speaking of vast knowledge of the military, what uniform do Corpsman wear when embedded with the Marines? Drago swore it was not the USMC uniform, he argued that it was the Navy uniform, telling me I was lying about my daughter. He should’ve known what uniform was worn by those embedded with the Marines, since he claimed he was an officer in the Navy. He might just be as big of a fraud as his leader.
Drago is a propagandist, if you people weren’t so dumb you would’ve already realized this.
Not seeing Palin on the losing side of this at all.
But who really cares? What I am seeing is the left continuously pulling a bunch of infantile stunts in a junior high school bully kind of way to make themselves feel better about themselves. Not an ounce of impact on policy or the current positive trajectory of this country, so I couldn't care less. They can have their childish "victories" and I'll just keep enjoying the rehabbing of America back into the undisputed greatest country in history.

Oh, come on Matthew. Don't be so obtuse.
Sacha Baron Cohen is picking on Sarah Palin for the same reason that this blog's commenters are still so fired up to defend her and claim that she was somehow forced out as Governor of Alaska. Same reason why a picture of Palin at the White House with Ted Nugent and Kid Rock would go viral. Same reason why candidate Trump would seek an endorsement from Palin and do a televised event with her. Same reason it would become news, for Sarah Palin to endorse Roy Moore in a primary against the Trump-endorsed Luther Strange (with it now being clear that much of TrumpWorld instinctively was with Palin/Moore).
Sarah Palin has that essential Trump quality; a raging desire to get confrontational with her culture war opponents. True, she's not running for anything anymore, but when was she ever running for anything, apart from her next TV appearance?
Inga, our fraud President sure is accomplishing some very real things.
Right. But there's a difference between political posturing/pushback and this sort of stunt.
Either or, Palin probably would've been better off not making something out of this. It will now be a multi-day story instead of a one-day story.
Lifelong Incel Chuck assures of his conservative bonafides by belittling the lawfare that Governor Palin got, and minimizing that she was the vice presidential nominee of the party he pretends to support.
How did we ever doubt you, Chuck?
"she was somehow forced out as Governor of Alaska."
chuck, this is why people here don't like you.
We all, or probably all that care, know why she was forced to resign as governor.
Try not to be such a jerk.
if you people weren’t so dumb you would’ve already realized this.
If you weren't so dumb you'd admit they all wear BDUs.
#StrongDemDefender and #DurbinCuckholster Chuck: "Sacha Baron Cohen is picking on Sarah Palin for the same reason that this blog's commenters are still so fired up to defend her and claim that she was somehow forced out as Governor of Alaska."
You know perfectly well that is precisely what happened.
Once again, you obfuscate and lie for your dem operational allies.
As always.
As. Always.

🤣
Althouse, you do realize that Bristol Palin is married to Dakota Meyer, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor?
He's family, and not only served his nation, he risked his life to save others, and had a medal pinned on his chest by POTUS, and just based on that one defining moment in his life, is 10 times the man that smartass Sasha Baron Cohen is.
But hey, "chagrin" misuse, that's super-important. Thanks for the clarifying moment.
Inga: "Inga’s tears are tears of laughter at what fools and dupes you are."
Again, good luck with your hoax dossier.
Jeff Brokaw: "Althouse, you do realize that Bristol Palin is married to Dakota Meyer, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor?"
According to Inga, that Congressional Medal Of Honor winner is a nazi.
Having made fun of ethnic groups, hits on dastardly right wing folk might help him gain some acceptability cred.
#DurbinCuckholster Chuck: "Sarah Palin has that essential Trump quality; a raging desire to get confrontational with her culture war opponents."
Karl Rove memoir:
"– He accuses Congressional Democrats of hypocrisy for saying that Bush lied about the existence of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq. He says that they had originally been equally outspoken about the dangers of such weapons and he charges Al Gore with "the most pathetic display of hypocrisy."
– He says that failure to defend the president against such charges was "one of the biggest mistakes of the Bush years."
https://www.csmonitor.com/Books/chapter-and-verse/2010/0309/What-Karl-Rove-reveals-in-Courage-and-Consequence
Karl Rove admits NOT fighting back was one of the biggest mistakes of the W presidency. It caused Bush's poll numbers to plummet, left Bush's allies to fight alone and led to a democrat resurgency.
It will surprise no one at all that LLR Chuck is advocating that very tactic now....
Gee, it's almost as if LLR Chuck want's Trump to duplicate ALL the steps taken which led the democrats back to power....
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........
“If you weren't so dumb you'd admit they all wear BDUs.”
“The Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU) is the current battledress uniform of the United States Marine Corps. It is also worn by Navy personnel (mostly corpsmen, chaplains, and their bodyguards) assigned to Marine Corps units (e.g. the Fleet Marine Force).”
Drago claimed FMF Corpsman wore the Navy BDU. There is a big difference, but you’re too dumb to know this.
LOL.
"Inga’s tears are tears of laughter at what fools and dupes you are. "
More like Crisco, you fat old cow. Please let one of those hardened, lard encrusted arteries pinch off in your flabby ancient body and put an end to your retarded nonsense.
Inga: "Drago claimed FMF Corpsman wore the Navy BDU."
Enlisted Navy folks who are serving with Marine units are authorized to wear Navy uniforms unless the unit CO orders them to wear the Marine uniforms.
If the marine unit CO does not order the navy personnel serving with the unit to wear marine working outfits, then its up to the navy enlisted personnel to make the choice.
"And Trump Cultists are the most blind of all."
Says the devout member of this cult: https://grrrgraphics.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/shrine_of_the_statists1.jpg
But since this is a Fourth of July blogpost I'd like to ask Inga and the other State Cultists who post here my perennial July 4th question: do you celebrate the Fourth? And if so, what the heck do you think you're celebrating?
It will surprise no one at all that LLR Chuck is advocating that very tactic now....
Drago, I hope you’re fully prepared for #LittleMan Chuck’s next profane, spittle-flecked accusation of you misquoting him...
...as soon as he finishes his next smear job on Trump.
However, we should note that officers in the military are even MORE republican than the enlisted ranks, and so the Marine officer who gives permission for Navy enlisted personnel to wear either Navy or Marine working uniforms is, probably, according to Inga, a nazi.
“Enlisted Navy folks who are serving with Marine units are authorized to wear Navy uniforms unless the unit CO orders them to wear the Marine uniforms.”
WRONG. The CO has nothing to do with it. You are a fraud, you obviously know nothing about the Navy.
Inga: "WRONG. The CO has nothing to do with it. You are a fraud, you obviously know nothing about the Navy."
"2. Enlisted Navy personnel assigned to Marine Corps organizations may wear service uniforms prescribed for enlisted personnel of the Marine Corps following applicable directives. Enlisted Navy personnel wear Marine Corps utilities when directed by the commanding officer. Utility uniforms are furnished at no expense to the enlisted member. Navy personnel assigned to Marine Corps units may wear Marine Corps uniforms on temporary additional duty. Wear the Marine Corps service and utility uniforms, including insignia, following Marine Corps uniform regulations."
https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/uniforms/uniformregulations/chapter6/Pages/6501.aspx
Ouch!
Apparently, Inga is now correcting the Naval Bureau of Personnel.
Well, harrumph!
Note to self: Always, ALWAYS, depend on hick nurses from Wisconsin when trying to discern the nuances of Uniform regulations for the US Military.
So, just to summarize:
Inga: " The CO has nothing to do with it."
United States Navy: "Enlisted Navy personnel wear Marine Corps utilities when directed by the commanding officer."
Maybe Inga doesn't know that "CO" = "commanding officer".
In her defense, it might mean "Colorado", it might mean "Conscientious Objector", it might mean "cobalt".
I must say I'm a bit surprised that Inga believes Commanding Officers have so little say as to the practices of personnel under their command.
What an odd thing for a self-appointed expert on the military to write.
Perhaps Inga was simply and easily duped.
Again.
Nope. There are no FMF Corpsmen that wear the Navy uniform when attached to the Marines.
Navy personnel attached to Marine Corps units
See also: Uniforms of the United States Marine Corps § Wear by Navy personnel
Corpsman wearing the Marine Corps Service Uniform in 2007.
As the Marines do not have medical personnel and chaplains, the Navy provides them.[36] The officers and enlisted include doctors, physician assistants, dentists, nurses, hospital corpsmen, chaplains, religious program specialists, and Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers. There are also specialized ratings that will be attached to Marine commands such as Navy Divers for example. Because of this relationship, these personnel are authorized to wear U.S. Marine Corps utility (desert/woodland) uniforms with Navy rank insignia replacing the Marine insignia for enlisted personnel (Navy and Marine officer rank insignia are identical) and with a "U.S. Navy" patch replacing the "U.S. Marines" one.
Honest to God; I had no idea how easy and effective it would be to troll you guys on the Governor Palin-resignation business.
“Navy officers and enlisted sailors assigned to Marine units are authorized to wear all Marine uniforms except the Dress and Evening Dress uniforms. When wearing Marine uniforms, Navy personnel must meet and adhere to Marine grooming and physical regulations, as well as replace Marine insignia with U.S. Navy insignia whenever feasible. These members of the Fleet Marine Force include Doctors, Dentists, Nurses, Medical Service, Hospital Corpsmen, Chaplains, Religious Programs Specialists, Lawyers, Legalmen, Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers, Divers, and Naval Academy midshipmen who are selected for Marine officership.
Most Marine units will have, at minimum, Navy medical and religious personnel, who will be issued and required to wear the MCCUU; wear of other Marine uniforms is optional. Medical battalions and dental battalions, being almost entirely Navy officers and Sailors, may direct other uniform wear. Other units, such as artillery, aviation, or legal units, may have other Navy personnel attached, and issued Marine uniforms.”
LOL
Nothing in your link precludes the ability of a marine unit Commanding Officer to allow naval personnel serving with a Marine Unit to wear naval working uniforms instead of marine working uniforms.
Nothing.
In fact, the Marine CO could require naval personnel to wear naval uniforms.
As is clearly demonstrated by the precise regulations under Article 6501.
Too, too funny.
The good news is that for Naval enlisted personnel who are authorized to wear marine working uniforms (which are very cool), the uniforms are provided at no extra cost to the service member.
And chicks in New York are paying top dollar for that type of gear....

Cooley Law attendee, serial bar exam failure, and "department of black people" slurring Lifelong Incel Chuck once again attempts to walk back his continuing support for leftist positions.
You are just as disgusting as that fat cow Inga, at least she is honest about her vile political beliefs. Hope you live just as long as her.
I'm shocked! So Sasha Baron Cohen is a "liberal" or some other form of statist? Who would believe that a free-wheeling satirist is just a loyal apparatchik of the Hive? That never happens.
Inga: "Drago is a liar and a propagandist, wake up you fools"
Another scintillating hot take from the nurse from Milwaukee!
LOL
Every single thing the lefties disapprove of is now propaganda AND russian trolls!
Absolutely perfect.
Inga is certainly the expert on military uniforms. The fact that I spend days each week with them is of no significance.
Ann sure pushed some buttons with this thread.
Now that Croatia kicked England's ass, we can go out and run errands before the 3 o'clock thunderstorm arrives.
Monsoon season in Tucson.
You just keep lecturing us about the military, Inga.
Inga is hilarious.
It reminds me of something....
Ah, but the propaganda, that's, that's where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that russian trolls using propaganda did exist, and I've have produced evidence of that if Trump hadn't pulled the evidence out of action.
I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow propagandizers. Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory and pure #Lefty/LLRLogic. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them, one by one.
LOL
"If Cohen could dupe her, imagine her as President. It makes no sense."
Comedian John Melendez of "The Stuttering John" podcast posted audio on Thursday of his conversation with the president, where Melendez claimed to be New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez. During the call, the two apparently discussed immigration and the Supreme Court for several minutes as Trump flew back from a rally in North Dakota.

Nice bunch of folks you've aligned yourself with there Chuckie.
What do you not get, about my saying plainly -- before he was nominated -- that Kavanaugh was my A-Number-One choice for that seat? What have you not gotten, about my repeatedly and consistently saying that the Federalist Society list is wonderful, and Trump's reputed final four was as great a group as we could ever hope for?
With all of that, why would you expect anybody here to believe you when suggest that I would in any way deride Judge Kavanaugh's nomination? Actually, I think I know why you might expect such a thing. Because you actually could expect that from the most ignorant of the Trump FanWorld, when anybody criticizes Trump.
LLR and "misser of points" Chuck: "What do you not get, about my saying plainly -- before he was nominated -- that Kavanaugh was my A-Number-One choice for that seat?"
You have aligned youself operationally with those who now insult Brett Kavanaugh due to his supposedly "frat boy" name.
If you have a problem with that I suggest you take it up with your allies on the left.
Post haste.
Would it help if I appealed to authority and quoted a bunch of recent tweets from avowed/dedicated NeverTrumpers who nonetheless object to Cohen's tactic of pretending to be a wounded vet? Would that convince Chuck or anyone else that some/many objections to this aren't just some reflexive pro-Trump/pro-Palin squawk? Or is it not worth bothering?
HD: "Or is it not worth bothering?"
Totally not worth it.
Or is it not worth bothering?
Not everyone is aware of Chuck’s eagerness to sacrifice his integrity in the name of lying about Trump and Trump’s voters. So I say it’s worth it.
(I’m available for any follow-up questions, too.)
The academic elitism lives loudly within Althouse...
Eh, I guess I lost my temper in some responses today. Sorry if I was overly crude.
I think the position Professor Althouse expressed is ridiculous and worthy of opposing but I probably should have been more civil when doing so. Sorry commenter group.

A “fake website” was presumably also set up in connection to the series and one of Cohen's characters is featured in a draft-cut promo.
The site, rife with spelling errors, denotes on its homepage:
“REJECT THE MAINSTREME MEDIA + THE LIEbrary OF FALSE INFOMATION THEY TRY TO PUSH INTO THE PUBLICS MIND'S. THE TRUTHBRARY WILL SET YOU FREE. THIS IS A LIBERTY WEBSITE FOR TRUE AMERICA AND TRUTH LOVING AMERICANS.”
The site bills itself as “a collection of studies and investigations carried out by Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick for the good of the American people.”
“We must stand together to fight the dark forces of clintons and muslims and Godless peoples to stand strong for our religious freedom and hold forth for what is right in our country,” it continues. “Now is the time for the silent majority to come together ansd [sic] seek out our truth.”
The posts include “Obama is a kenyan,” “Germans now living under Shari’ah law,” “Signs that Hollywood is RUN by the SATANIC ELITE,” and the implication that “the military has been implanting mind controlled neural dust to remotely control their victims.”
Cohen apparently plays a multitude of characters, including “Dr. Billy” (as per the website) with Sanders. He plays a German homosexual with Sheriff Joe and an Israeli Mossad agent with Cheney and two other Georgia GOP-ers who were “being taught how to stop a shooter in the workplace.” In early clips at least, the comedian also went “undercover” at the Women’s March.
“The show is an exaggerated account of the perceived paranoia and all the hate the left thinks people on the right have towards so many groups,” claimed the viewer. “I think they threw Bernie in there just to have a cover so they can’t be accused of it being a total right-wing hit job.”

More fake garbage posing from the left.
Tired yet?
"Eh, I guess I lost my temper in some responses today. Sorry if I was overly crude."
Yeah, there have been a few comments in this thread that got out of hand. People will probably regret getting angry like that.
On the other hand, your 11:22AM post is pretty much exactly how I feel, both about Palin and about Cohen's offensive stunt, and probably how most decent folk feel.
I hope Ann Althouse is humiliated 10 years after she suffers career- and reputation-ending humiliation. It would serve her right.

Would it help if I appealed to authority and quoted a bunch of recent tweets from avowed/dedicated NeverTrumpers who nonetheless object to Cohen's tactic of pretending to be a wounded vet? Would that convince Chuck or anyone else that some/many objections to this aren't just some reflexive pro-Trump/pro-Palin squawk? Or is it not worth bothering?
Where in all of this have I sided with Cohen? Where did I praise him or agree with him or anything else?
All that I said, was that I had the feeling that this was one time when a loud preemptive offensive might work for Palin, with conservative media helping to portray her as being somehow bullied or fooled under very bad/false pretenses by Cohen. Turning Sasha Baron Cohen into an abuser/exploiter of US veterans. It could work. It might work. It wouldn't surprise me.
Glenn Rice; now THAT surprised me.
ah Chuck going on the allegations of a Nazgul, with an actual record of what Jordan is accused of covering up, don't ever change,

I'm curious what your comment means, translated to English...?
a character from a bottom feeding site called the immoral minority, which is as wretched as it sounds, fed that line to joe mcguinness, and the funny thing, is the editors knew he was lying but they put in their anyways,
it's because of garbage like that, one is willing to put up with trump, jackass,
the funny thing is there have been 400 acid attacks in the uk, in the last year, find humor in that, maybe a fifth as many stabbings,
Inga is wrong, according St. Barry her daughter was actually a corpseman.
Feel better now?
Lol. What a ninny. I thought all conservatards cared about was money. Yes, duping your dumb ass pays very well. Conservatards have no understanding of humor and are more thin-skinned than mole rats. This reaction of hers alone proves how much it was worth it, regardless of how well it plays on camera. Duh!
That website is awesome. He could totally pass for a right-wing lunatic with that thing alone. Every right-winger has one.
Commenters here are more easily duped than Palin.
Althouse is Borat-ing you.

She has sacred cows. Althouse has never liked it when people mock gay people even if they’re not mocking their gayness. It brings out the mama bear in her. It’s just the way she is and always has been.

What's to mock? That's what 4-year olds do. You clearly don't understand adult humor. Unless you're sexually attracted to something not adult and human, then there's not much humor there. But you're sexually attracted to cars, flags and churches, right?
Mixing "Obama is a Kenyan" which is stupid, and "Hillary is corrupt" is a way to keep Hillary's corruption mainstream and normal.
Nice going, Sacha.
No, it was a way to keep the joke solid. It was a perfect impersonation of right-wing ninnyhood.
Palin is making her self look dumb?
To who? You?
The woman who finds 3 threes of bullshit from Kathy Griffin funny?
You embarrass yourself. Extensively. Badly.
Sure. Funny as in "With a cloth?"
She's such a kidder!!
Inga and Ritmo. The thread is complete.
according St. Barry her daughter was actually a corpseman
Obama, they, are Pro-Choice. So, it's entirely possible that there is one or more corpsemen, and corpsewomen, in their family.
So Ms Palin is contacted via a speakers bureau to participate in a “legit Showtime historical documentary” in her words. Does an interview with who she is told is a disabled vet, who is a heavily made up and wheelchair bound Cohen. She walks out during the interview, basically because Cohen is being an ass, her and her daughter are dropped off at an the airport they have no way to get a flight home from and our hostess can only comment on her use of the word chagrin. Inga and the rest of the trolls being idiots I understand, that's their job and I guess you have to pay the rent somehow but Althouse, she must really,really,really hate Palin.
Maybe Althouse should ask the folks in Chagrin Falls, Ohio whether they are chargrined by their town's name...
Sebastian @12:54 wins the thread.
Palin should respond to Althouse's snide and contemptuous comment thusly:
"I'm Sarah Palin, and you're not......Bitch."
So trip saw service first in salahuddin province, then a year later in helmand, another difficult theatre of operations, this is why she has been focused on veterans issues in particular of late, probably saw first hand the malpractice of the va system.
@PeePee: Your whole schtick is mocking people. Rewind any thread from the past 10 yrs which you’ve “engaged” anyone.
Idiot.
Inga and Ritmo. The thread is complete.
Time for you to go home, snowflake.

I mock irrationality and intentional stupidity. Did the truth about your 4-year old's gay jokes hurt?
Do you ever have conversations with adults?
Idiot.
Back at ya, snowflake.
Let's make fun of your own kids' many shortcomings.
I'd beckon you to the world of grown-ups, but by now it is plenty clear that you will never join it. What are you anyway now? 50?
“Let's make fun of your own kids' many shortcomings.”
Let’s instead make fun of your own lack of children and the medical reasons for that.
Leave it to the left to make Hillary's real corruption into one of their sad punchlines.
Corruption? who cares!
Wake me up when he punks Revolution Barbie.
Love how so many of you allowed inga to turn the conversation from "What the Hell is wrong with Althouse?" to boring crap about military uniforms. Why anyone responds to her is beyond me. Her only goal is to flummox the other side and, if shunned, she would just go away.
Camille Paglia has said that if women ruled the world we would all be dead within a few years. Raging hormonal imbalances, emotions overwhelming reason, and all that.
I'm betting that Althouse's FEMALE hostility toward a more successful woman will cost her lots of money.
I won't be clicking through to Amazon from here, ever again, and I expect many more won't as well.
But hey, I'm told "Puss n' Boots" on toast is tolerable if you add a little curry powder to it.
Wow: it has frustrated me that day after day Althouse panders to the Trumpists who dominate her commenters. Then she writes a mildly critical post on Palin (which I wrote in disagreement with) and hordes of commenters turn on her. Truly evidence of toxic nature of social media.
They did not "turn" on Althouse. She came up with some dopey analysis, they disagreed. Cripes, can no one ever cross the sainted Althouse. I wouldn't argue law with her but some of her shoot from the hip stuff is laid out there as impenetrable logic when it is just click-bait.

There is no problem with disagreement. I would venture to say that I disagree openly with her here more than anybody. However you don't have to be uncivil while doing so. I'm glad there has been a walk back...no matter how foolish a person's position is, there is no reason to call someone a cunt.

They are as toxic as they come.
chickelet once again proving that he doesn't understand adult humor. What's the matter? So lonely for company he had to make it with his genitals?
All roads lead to Hillary clinton's corruption excusing leftist loyalists.
For years I hadn't thought of Joe McGinniss, the stalker whose victory lap for his bestseller The Rogue was remaindered. I guess payback is an Althouse.

Also evidence that we are not some rote marching band of lefties.
There is disagreement on the right.
Also, I note the Ritmo has no work to get up for. Posting stupid comments at 3 AM.

By the way, the standard expression is "much to my chagrin." I think each individual is entitled to give his own report of his own chagrin. I'll wait to hear from Sacha Baron Cohen about whether he was chagrined. No I won't! He wasn't chagrined. Does Sarah Palin even know the meaning of the word? "Acute vexation, annoyance, or mortification, arising from disappointment, thwarting, or failure" (OED).
Palin is once again looking dumb
No, Althouse, you're looking dumb, and bigoted. Palin is say he suffered "acute vexation, annoyance" when she pulled off the mic and left
She was there, you weren't. I'd say she's a better judge of whether or not she frustrated him than you are
And it's certainly not "dumb" of her to claim that
Ritmo: "They are as toxic as they come."
You should drink a bottle of something toxic and die choking and in excruciating pain. The world would laugh and celebrate your well-deserved demise.
