In an announcement that is a triumph for some and a disappointment to others, Republican Sarah Palin officially announced that she will not be running for the President of the United States in 2012.

She made the announcement via a statement to Mark Levin, a conservative radio talk show host.

Palin said, “After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States.”

Palin added, “In the coming weeks, I will help coordinate the strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.”

Props to SNL’s Tina Fey… because she can, apparently, do impressions of politician Sarah Palin so well… that even Fox News can’t even tell the difference between the two women! The news channel actually used a picture of Fey during a story about Palin!

While an anchor was discussing the widening field of 2012 Republican presidential candidates, a photo of Tina doing one of her Saturday Night Live spoofs of Sarah pops up on the screen.

In 2009, Fox News adopted a “zero tolerance” policy toward onscreen slip-ups. But this one is so funny, we don’t think anyone should get in trouble.

Check out the pic  above and see the video (via Crooks & Liars) here.

LOL… YIKES!

TMZ has described Sarah Palin as “the mastermind of a dark conspiracy”… regarding punishing an Alaskan citizen who dared to speak out against her over a traffic situation in Juneau.

A man named Theodore Thoma claims he had a serious issue with traffic in the neighborhood surrounding the Governor’s Mansion back in 2009 … back when Sarah was the Gov. In fact, Thomaclaims he proposed state action to solve the problem and even made up signs and fliers to push the issue.

But Palin didn’t take kindly to the criticism, says Thoma, and she “undertook a campaign against [Theodore] … to punish, embarrass, discredit and silence” him.

It’s unclear what she did … but according to Thoma’s suit, Palin’s actions have caused a “chilling” effect on his ability to exercise his federal constitutional rights.

Thoma wants Palin to fork over more than $100k for all of the harm she’s caused.

Thoughts?

Them be fighting words! Sarah Palin is spitting fire after Christina Aguilera’s performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Sarah was on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Monday, and she had some choice words for Christina, after the singer messed up the words to the National Anthem.

The 46-year-old former Governor bashed the singer, saying she’s a “a demanding beauty queen who’s clearly in over her head. Public figures must be held accountable for what they say,” Palin complained. “Here’s another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesn’t understand something so basic about America, yet we’re supposed to tolerate her diva behavior? Americans can see through that, Sean.”

She criticized the NFL for letting the “spicy Latin princesses” sing. “Unemployment is at nine percent, yet we have to suffer through a performance by a foreigner with a poor grasp of the English language?” Palin argued. “If I were president, I’d deport Ms. Aguilera back to wherever it is she’s from and give Amy Smart a call.”

UPDATE: US Weekly has completely removed this whole story from their site. Could this all be BS? Hmm….

UPDATE 2: The story was a complete hoax.

The quotes came from a parody site called SuperTuesdayNews, GossipCop points out.

The fake Palin quotes, since deleted from UsMagazine.com, included the Alaska Republican calling the pop singer an “airhead diva” and telling Hannity that Aguilera “doesn’t understand something so basic about America.”

“I’m sure Ms. Aguilera is a very nice person, but I just think the American people deserve better than a demanding beauty queen who’s clearly in over her head,” the parody continued.

“It boggles the mind that a major outlet could read these obviously satirical, fake quotes and treat them as the real deal,” GossipCop wrote. “However badly Aguilera botched the anthem last Sunday, Us Weekly just did a hundred times worse.”

We’re all in shock that Bristol Palin is still in the competition on Dancing With The Stars, but Mama Bear Sarah Palin calls all of her haters “silly”.

Us Magazine reports:

“Ah yes…Bristol-the-diva! Silly critics! See her diva-ish-ness,” Palin Tweeted Thursday, as web chatter continued to mount over her daughter’s controversial placement in the final three of Dancing with the Stars.

The former Alaska governor isn’t the only one in Bristol’s corner.

DWTS alum and other celebs gave plenty of sympathy to the 20-year-old single mom at Us Weekly’s Hot Hollywood: Stars Who Care bash at the Colony Club in Hollywood Wednesday.

“You can find ten reasons why she deserves it and why Brandy deserves it,” Louis Van Amstel told Us. (Brandy was famously shown the door on Tuesday and told Us Thursday she’s feeling “better.”)

“Brandy is the better dancer,” Amstel admitted. “But then again, Bristol had to fight for several weeks to be accepted as Bristol and not Sarah Palin’s daughter.”

Said former DWTS champ Kym Johnson: “She’s had a different journey [from] Brandy — she had no dance experience, so I think Bristol’s what the show’s all about.”

What do you think of Bristol going to the finals on DWTS?
