“And for these lame-stream media characters to get all wee-weed up about that, first you have to ask yourself, ‘Have they every attended a Sunday school class even? Have they never heard of this terminology before?”
–Sarah Palin on “Hannity” last night commenting on an old Rick Santorum speech that the Drudge Report dug up and splashed across its front page. In the speech — which was delivered at Ave Maria University in 2008 — Santorum says “The Father of Lies (Satan) has his sights on” America. Regardless of whether Palin approves of Santorum’s “Satan” speech, when did the Drudge Report become part of the “lame-stream media”?
Also, “wee-weed” up is a funny reference to something President Barack Obama said in 2009. Its meaning is explained here.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 8:17pmI would disagree with you about the relevance of Palin’s comment.
Drudge did initiate the Santorum story, but the issue would have likely come up sometime during the campaign, anyway. A Google news search for “Santorum” with the word “Satan” yields about 550 results — including stories on MSNBC and a piece by Maureen Dowd, bemoaning “Santorum’s religious fanaticism.”
In her folksy phraseology, evoking Obama’s ridicule of the healthcare debate (what a non-issue that turned out to be), I think Palin alluded to the irony that some 86 percent of Americans say they believe in God, yet the media attempt to stir up controversy over Santorum’s statement at a Catholic university — an observation which seems to be in keeping with the tenets of many Christians in this nation.
I’m more disturbed by Obama’s claim that he became a Christian through the inspiration of Jeremiah Wright. Nothing controversial about THAT mainstream theologian.
