Sarah Palin Was Known as "Sarah Barracuda"

Hey, maybe she still is, for all I know.

Anyway, that's one of the revelations in the E! True Hollywood Story about the former Alaska Governor, airing on April 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Here are the juiciest quotes the show culled from various experts who've observed the scary lady in action.

*As a high school basketball player, "she got the nickname Sarah Barracuda. Some people didn't even like playing with her, she would scratch them and get up real close to them and she was very physical."

Julianne Moore As Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin was the wrong choice for Vice President in 2008, but Julianne Moore seems like the right choice to play Palin in Game Change, the HBO movie that will cover the sweep and drama of that particular historic election.

Yes, I know, Tina Fey already nailed the role, but no doubt this film is going for a deeper, less satirical take -- even though Palin herself often leans toward the flighty and satirical side herself.

Joan Rivers: My Palin Jokes Cost Me A Fox News Booking

joan-rivers-gives-the-finger.jpg
​My favorite comic, Joan Rivers, recently joked that Sarah Palin should go to another planet and get out of our faces, and that people are right to blame her for the Arizona shootings because "she's stupid and a threat."

Next thing you know, Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends show cancelled her booking!

Unlike Palin, Joan is a smart woman, and she made the connection. Fox was censoring her for making fun of Palin, even though Palin's whole line of bull these days is about free speech!

Let's All Get Behind Sarah Palin!

​Not literally. That sounds mildly dirty.

Just as supporters.

If we can rally around the whack job and help her get the Republican nomination in 2012, then we're totally safe for four more years! She'll lose!

Let's Give Sarah Palin a Break

​Just this time, OK?

It would be very comforting to be able to blame Sarah Palin for the horrible Arizona shootings, but it would seem a little hypocritical since we always say you can't blame rock stars and their crazy songs for various teen tragedies that are often ascribed to them by right wingers.

As civil libertarians, we have to be brave and admit that it wasn't Palin who pulled the trigger!

Bristol Palin Semi-Apologizes for Willow's Homophobic and Illiterate Slurs

willowandbristolpalin.jpg
​In a new twist on a fiery Facebook drama, abstinence-loving Bristol Palin has stepped in to apologize for her sister Willow Palin having called a guy who'd derided mama's Alaska show an f-word.

But her apology is even more half-hearted than her sexual politics.

First off, she doesn't apologize for the hate language, she only says they shouldn't have responded to negative comments.

That response is carefully designed to avoid taking a stand on what was actually said in weeping Willow's exchange.

If It's President Palin in 2012, Will You Move to Canada?

​Tell me the truth:

If the absolute worst-case scenario happens, all good sense is thrown to the tundra, and for some crazy reason Sarah Palin ends up in the White House in two years (and not just scrubbing toilets), will you end up in Saskatchewan?

Shouldn't Bigots Love the New Muslim Mosque?

President Obama has given a big thumbs-up to the proposed Muslim mosque two blocks from the 9/11 site, and dummos are still upset about the prospect.

Instead of a victory for freedom, they've chosen to see this as a blow against freedom.

But shouldn't the Sarah Palin types of the world be absolutely thrilled with this development?

The Sick Saga of Levi and Bristol

​As you know, Alaska's sweethearts Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin have reunited and were sensible enough to tell Us Weekly about it before informing ma, Sarah Palin.

If you're in need of a capsule summary of their wretched affair so far:

Levi knocked Bristol up, and Sarah had to spray air freshener on her failed family values by rushing them into a marriage and saying that was the plan all along.

But it never happened, and the result was a bitter breakup and a teen unwed mother -- the kind of thing Sarah generally finds equal to the devil, but way more hygienically messy.

One Absolutely Final Thought About Sarah Palin Until The Next One

​This whip-smart observation about the queen of Wasilla just came in from reader Allan Hayton, who should know, since he's from Alaska himself:

"Seeing as how Sarah Palin is so fond of spreading her message of hate and intolerance via Twitter, I think it is only appropriate we call her Twitler from here on out."

"Heil, Twitler"?

Why do I feel as if Jesse James just popped a boner?
