You want to see groveling? Here watch the editor of RedState, Erick Erickson, grovel at Sarah Palin's feet.

So this post by Erick Erickson is really all about this photo on the right, and his reasons for not taking it down from his site sooner back in 2013.

Trust me you are going to want to have your barf bags ready.

But the picture was a scam and it was inappropriate and I should have acted immediately. So I’ve been kicking myself to figure out why I did not act sooner. (Really? Kicking yourself?)


Unfortunately, going back into my calendar, I know why I was slow to respond. I was in the hospital on July 1, 2013, with my wife. I had to rush her to the emergency room that day and was out of pocket that day and the next, though even while attending to my wife made sure to mount a defense of Governor Palin.1 I was the only paid employee at RedState at the time and one of the only Palin supporters on the front page of RedState by 2013. The contributors were telling me the picture was real, I was in the hospital, and I went with trusting the guys I’m surrounded with every day and who I’d empowered to decide these things while I was tied up. 

I am sorry the Palin family has held on to this for so long. (Oh they hang on to EVERYTHING, believe me.)


I certainly meant no offense and tried to respond as quickly as I could to it, but was limited at the time due to my own family circumstances. I certainly do not fault them. They have come under attacks from all sides and I can only imagine they must have, then and now, had concerns about who were fully with them and who are just using them and who hate them. (I think I'm in that last category.)


I mounted Operation Leper after the 2008 defeat to drive from politics those from the McCain campaign who engaged in character assassination on Sarah Palin. A few years ago, Nichole Wallace credited me with turning her into an author because of Operation Leper. 

I have not always agreed with Governor Palin, but have always tried to defend her and her family, including when the creepy author moved next door and the CNN anchor found an assault on Bristol Palin to be comedy and including the day after that questionable post went up when I was trying to get Christy back on her feet. (So a long time Palin ass kisser huh?)


I really am sorry that they did not know the reason it took so long to respond and I am really am sorry that hurt feelings have lingered on for more than two years. I understand, given what the Palin family has gone through, and am sorry there are those who want to continue to drag them through the mud. I have certainly never wanted that for them. They are good people. (Hah!) I wish I had known about this before now so I could have told them why it took so long. 

Hang on I have to sit with my head between my knees for a bit to fight the nausea.

Well it looks like even though Palin has virtually no supporters left, and has now become an international joke, she was still able to turn Erick Erickson into her little bitch.

I mean seriously how does this tragic little man even look at himself in the mirror without being disgusted with himself?

Well I imagine that over at the Palin compound Sarah is on the phone with Nancy French exchanging war whoops and celebrating the fact that they can still emasculate a sad little excuse for a man if they put their minds to it.

Personally I never had any respect for Erick Erickson in the first place. But now?

Now I'm ashamed that we even share the same gender.
