Fan Vid Salutes Palin With R.Kelly's 'Greatest'

Share

(Newser) – Sarah Palin’s adoring masses, convinced that she is indeed the world’s greatest something (ex-governor? Twitter user? mom?), have created a YouTube tribute to her set to R. Kelly's “The World’s Greatest.” The video, which features "the music of a man renowned for on-camera golden showers and statutory rape," notes the cajun boy on Gawker, is actually courtesy of Conservatives4Palin and supposed to be inspiring, rather than hilarious. "Prepare to be mesmerized."

This bimbo only accomplished one thing when she was Governor of Alaska, she used the Line Item Veto to kill the Federal Bail Out money set aside to help curb the high energy costs thus preventing the low income people within her state of obtaining help with high heating bills and such, and her only accomplishment was defeated when the House over rode her lame veto by a 75% margin with room to spare. Alaska was glad to be rid of her and the rest of the country should be so damn lucky
