Sarah Palin complained that not being invited to Sen. John McCain’s funeral felt like a “gut punch.”

The former half-term governor of Alaska told “Good Morning Britain” that she was hurt and embarrassed after her former running mate’s family did not ask her to attend the funeral, reported the Daily Mail.

“I was kind of surprised to be publicly disinvited to the funeral,” Palin said. “They didn’t have to embarrass me and others, it wasn’t just me it was other people from our campaign back in 2008. It’s kind of a gut punch.”

Palin has been blamed for McCain’s 2008 presidential loss to Barack Obama, but she said she was a convenient scapegoat for Republican operatives who pushed for her to join the ticket.

1. Ironic that Trump didn't grab this sycophantic grifter...

She shares soooo much of what makes a Trump a Trump, including a total lack of class.

[truthisfreedom]

5. I see what you did there.

[dawg day]

11. I remember that she tried to graft onto his campaign during the primary

Came all the way down to South Carolina or somewhere, and talked about getting to fly back to Alaska on the Trump plane... and then Trump== grateful as hell-- just dumped her, and she had to pay her own way back.

They're both trash. One is rich trash, and the other is not-rich trash (Palin's family of grifters is broke, I think).

22. Trump hates sharing the spotlight as he thinks the media should be focused on him thus

the reason for his picking people that unlikable by the majority of the public.

[Pisces]

2. Who cares what she thinks

[truthisfreedom]

3. Schadenfreude abounds!

[Sanity Claws]

4. Right. She does a good enough job of embarrassing herself

There is absolutely no need for anyone else to embarrass her.

[Perseus]

6. True, very true

She can embarrass herself without anyone's help. She is protecting that right to look like a fool whenever she appears and she wants to do it all by herself.

She still doesn't understand that she represents McCain's lowest point of his life, that she was an embarrassment during the campaign, plus if the family didn't want to invite her, that is their prerogative.

[KatyaR]

7. Honey, if you were never invited in the first place,

you can't be "disinvited."

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

46. I don't recall McCain saying he didn't want her at his funeral, like he did Fat Donnie.

He just didn't say he wanted her there. She could have crashed the funeral, like Ivanka and Jared did (it's thought that Lindsay Graham extended the invitation, which he had no right to do), but that would be tacky, and we all know how classy Caribou Barbie is.

Go away, Sarah. Your 15 minutes of fame are up. Go home to your white trash family in Wasilla, sit on your porch and look at Russia in the distance.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Score another one for the McCain family

[keithbvadu2]

9. After the way she embarrassed Alaska?

[912gdm]

10. Huh... But, supposedly we are the 'snowflakes'.

[DoctorJoJo]

12. So the Wasilla White Trash Is Out of Her Cave Again?

[George II]

17. I heard that along with Bristol, Willow, Piper, Trig, and Track, her next child will be named Trash.

[George II]

13. In my most respectful tone, "SHUT THE FUCK UP, LOSER!"

If it wasn't for McCain, you'd be a blip on history and still be hanging out in Alaska redneck bars.

[47of74]

27. I totally, completely, and utterly SECOND that motion!

[pamdb]

14. Miss Sarah

Gee, Sarah, I kind of doubt you were uppermost in their thoughts while they were dealing with the funeral. I know you think everything is about you (much like pumpkin head) but here's a shock. It's not.

[Julian Englis]

15. If she hadn't embarrassed McCain so often.... nt

[Sherman A1]

16. No they didn't have to

Sarah does that all by herself and is in no need of assistance.

[Firestorm49]

18. Does anybody care what Palin has to say?

It’s like asking Scaramuchi. Who gives a crap!

[onetexan]

19. The Mccains didn't need to - Palin has and continues to embarrass herself

[George II]

20. Keith Olbermann reveled in replaying this classic interview, along with calling her....

..."half governor" since she quit mid-term:

[True Blue American]

35. I will never forget that video.

Was listening to her then noticed the guys behind her thinking What are they doing? Then the light bulb came on! Good God, and she is calmly talking to the Press! Yuck!

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

21. She just now realized she hadn't been invited. eom

[SFnomad]

23. It's amazing how many different people felt McCain's funeral was about them #smmfh n/t

[Squinch]

24. It's all about you, Sarah.

[dflprincess]

25. If she was actually embarrassed

She wouldn't be complaining about it publicly. And how do you embarrass someone who has no shame?

[nycbos]

26. I think the McCain family is well aware that Palin is a blot on his legacy.

Which is why they didn't want her there.

[47of74]

28. Go away Sarah.

Just go away.

[muntrv]

29. Sarah, you do that on your own.

[tanyev]

30. Dammit! I can't refuse to go if they don't invite me!

[walkingman]

31. How did this moron ever become a public servant? No really, she represents all the things that

have been fighting against for centuries. She'd make a good Texas shitkicker.

[Mike Nelson]

32. Her complaint is misplaced...

… I believe it was John McCain deciding, before the funeral, on her attendance... not his family.

[Instant Liberal]

33. No, they didn't have to embarrass her.

She does that every time she opens her mouth. If not, her kids do it for her.

[rurallib]

34. It's two against one and the one is dead

but I still put my money on McCain in this tussle.

[lillypaddle]

36. You know what, Sarah?

Once you are dead, you get to do what YOU want to do - through your family, of course.

Considering who you are, who your family members are, and what you've had to say, I'd say you should be very used to being embarrassed. Now go the fuck away.

[BigDemVoter]

37. Of course it was MCCAIN'S funeral, but it was all about the Palin Idiot. . .

[jalan48]

38. Have another drink and chill.

[sinkingfeeling]

39. Remember when we believed the GOP couldn't find a less qualified

candidate than Sarah?

[keithbvadu2]

40. Palin bumper sticker:

Palin bumper sticker: If Obama is the answer, how stupid was the question?

The question: Do you want Sarah Palin one old man's heartbeat away from the WH?

[Evolve Dammit]

41. To the dustbin of history to you; go away dammed spot.

[left-of-center2012]

42. 'They didn't have to embarrass me'

No. You did it all by yourself.

You may recall that in her debate with Joe Biden, she asked "Can I call you Joe?"

That's because in the GOP rehearsals for the V.P. debate, she kept referring to him as 'McBiden'.

V.P. McBiden?

Joe McBiden?

[yellowcanine]

43. Uh go ride a snow machine into a lake or something.

[47of74]

45. Hell if she sells tickets to that she could make lots of money.

[BlueIdaho]

47. Cuz it's all about you...

Right?

[Yonnie3]

48. Locking ...

A consensus of Hosts has determined that this is not important news of national interest.

The opinions of the former half term Governor and failed Republican VP candidate are not important.
