Quote Of The Day: Sarah Palin On LYNCHING Jerry Sandusky “Hang Him From The Highest Tree… I’ll Bring The Rope” [Video]

Consider Sarah Palin a crusader for the lynching of Penn State alleged pedophile perv coach Jerry Sandusky . During an appearance on Tuesday night’s “On The Record With Greta Van Susteren, ” Sarah Palin went “rogue” again after being asked her thoughts about presidential candidate Rick Santorum saying Penn State should not be allowed to play in a bowl game. Here’s what she said: “It’s not the player’s fault that they have a perverted, former assistant coach. I would like to see the players not suffer more than they have suffered. As for the perp, and perps, though, that allowed the sinfulness to go on as they had allowed in the past, you know, I say about this assistant coach, Sandusky–hang him from the highest tree, I’ll bring the rope. I think it’s pathetic, it’s horrible, it’s atrocious what took place. If it is true that these children were victimized, then he himself and anybody who allowed what he did to go on, they should be the one to suffer, not today’s young players who have been innocent in all of this.” Palin repeated the “hang him from the highest tree and I’ll bring the rope” after Van Susteren asked her to clarify whether she wanted to actually go through the legal process to determine whether Sandusky was guilty, or whether she was — for lack of a better term — going rogue. “Hang him from the highest tree and I’ll bring the rope if he’s guilty of what’s been alleged,” Palin said “If he abused these young children and ruined their lives, unless they get a lot of help, Greta, in order to deal with the victimization that they are now suffering from, he needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law if he is truly guilty.” The video is below, but you have to get all the way to the end to see her make the comments about hanging Sandusky: This broad is truly crazy. We don’t like Jerry Sandusky either, but walking around talking about bringing rope to lynch a muhfugga is taking ish a bit far ain’t it? And she says she wants to be President some day. SMH.

Scotty McCreery: How Does He Rank Among ‘Idol’ Debuts?

Country crooner’s Clear As Day tops the Billboard charts, but how does he size up against other ‘Idol’ champs? By James Montgomery Scotty McCreery Photo: Getty Images December 14, 2003. That was the date Ruben Studdard ‘s Soulful opened at #1 on the Billboard albums chart. And somewhat incredibly, it’s also the last time a debut disc from an “American Idol” champion accomplished the feat. Sure, there have been some near-misses along the way, but since Studdard, none have been able to bow at #1, a streak that spanned some 2,859 days (or 4,116,960 minutes, in case you were counting). It’s also a streak that officially came to an end on Wednesday (October 12), with the rather eye-opening #1 debut by “Idol” season 10 champion Scotty McCreery, whose Clear As Day sold nearly 197,000 copies to take the top spot. It’s the highest first-week number for an “American Idol” winner since David Cook sold almost 280,000 copies of his self-titled debut in 2008 and, given the recent lack of chart success from “Idol” champs, it’s an even more impressive feat. Because, while some “Idol” also-rans (Clay Aiken, Chris Daughtry, Adam Lambert, etc) have managed to move units, the contemporary crop of champions have suffered poor first-week sales. Thanks to the support of the country music crowd, McCreery has managed to buck that trend. But where, exactly, do Clear As Day ‘s first-week numbers rank among the debuts by other “American Idol” winners? We’ve crunched the figures, along with the chart positions, below:

Lee DeWyze Album Sales: Disastrous

Lee DeWyze seems like a very nice guy and certainly possess a lot of music talent. But these numbers speak for themselves: The American Idol champion moved 39,000 copies of his debut CD in its first week of sales, making him the least successful Idol finalist in history. Not just champion, mind you. But finalist. Period. Here’s a look at the first-week sales figures, and Billboard chart ranking, for each American Idol winner and runner-up, over the show’s first eight seasons.
