Q: You recently endorsed Rand Paul. Why? How did you reach that decision, and -- well, let's start there.
SARAH PALIN: He's got good domestic policy solutions that he wants to see implemented. He wants to rein in spending. He wants to limit the federal government's overreach. And I support that, and I'm happy to support him. Obviously, will not be agreeing with him on everything. He didn't agree with me on everything. (And since much of the Teabaggers are left over Ron Paul supporters I thought I could not go wrong by endorsing his son. But it is hard to kiss teabagger ass if they won't all stand together on anything. Who knew?)
Q: Any examples? (Oh damn it! A follow up question!)
PALIN: I, there will be plenty of things I'm sure, but no I'm happy to support him and I think this whole relationship that I will have with Dr. Paul is going to be I think reflective of other candidates that people may raise their eyebrows and say, why are you supporting them in a primary? I will do this when many of the positions can be supported but also my position on supporting competitive, rigorous contested primaries is very important. (WTF? Even my Palin word salad to English dictionary did not help with that sentence.)
Q: You really want to get involved in the primary process? (Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!)
PALIN: Absolutely, because I do want competition to allow the cream of the crop to rise.
Q: And what does your support translate to, I mean rallies, fundraisers donations from the PAC, how does that help?
PALIN: Yeah, whatever they need me to do. (I don't understand your point.)
Q: All of the above?
PALIN: Yeah, sure, sure, depending on what position we're in. (Still don't understand your point.)
Q: You said the cream of the crop, what other, I guess, up-and-comers or maybe not up-and-comers, but what other potential candidates are you looking at to support and fund and campaign for?
PALIN: No doubt there are candidates who will not seek my support because some will perceive me as being too polarizing and if they're in more liberal districts or states they won't want someone like me who has been unfortunately by the media put in a box as being so parochial (I bet THAT word was written on her hand.) and myopic (That one too.)in terms of some positions that they won't recognize my own independence. (Which is the same "independence" that any prostitute demonstrates, by holding out for the highest bidder.)So some people will shy away from my support that I could offer. But those who recognize that I do have strong opinions, a very strong independent streak in me and a lot of common sense (Yeah, how many OTHER politicians have the "common sense" to write the answers to questions on their palms? Hell I learned that in grade school!)and if they ask for my help, I'm gonna give it to them.
Q: Any particular races -- because even if you're not looking at candidates do you have any particular races you're looking at that you might want to sort of get in there and find someone who meets that criteria? (Or are you just going to help by buying yourself more of your own books with donated money?)
PALIN: Many of the Democrats who are continuing to support President Obama's misguided decisions like in Nevada, I will do whatever I can to help the other side of the aisle. (Which I will accomplish by staying as far away from Nevada as possible! Gotta get rid of that Harry Reid fellow and his girlfriend Nancy Pelosi.)
Q: Are you gonna get involved in that primary? There's Tarkanian, Lowden?
PALIN: Certainly in the general, because Reid's gotta go, and as for the primary right now I really like them both -- that's what my problem is, but we still have quite a few, quite a number of days to figure out what is best for the GOP in Nevada to help them out to defeat Reid and of course that's an easy one too, though, if the election were today, Reid goes, he would go down. (Insert mean girl laugh here.)
Q: Could you be sort of a, in certain sections of the GOP, sort of a king or queen maker or is that going too far?
PALIN: That's going too far because I do not have that power nor desire. (WTF? Did Palin just demonstrate a perception of reality? Did her meds just kick in?)
Q: OK, I wanted to ask you about the speaking fee again -- you said in USA Today and on your Facebook page it's going back to the cause. What does that mean? Is it going likely through SarahPAC to certain candidates and certain campaigns?
PALIN: I think the logistics of how it goes back -- I don't know if it goes through the PAC or not, I haven't talked to PAC treasurers or attorneys about it. I'm keeping it simple. I'm committing to not personally ... (Well first we have to launder it, and make it appear it is going toward some "cause", but then it goes right back into my pocketbook. Right next to Todd's manhood.)
Q: To potentially tea party candidates?
PALIN: Well the tea party is not a party but those who believe in what the tea party is all about -- limited government and a strong national security policy coming out of D.C., yeah I'm gonna support 'em. (By charging them thousands of dollars to have me speak for them.)
Q: Any particular campaigns you're looking at, I mean you're talking about campaigns, going back to not any think tanks or anything like that but going to campaigns?
PALIN: (What the hell is a "think tank"? Is that like a "fish tank" for smart people?) The ones that I've already talked about and others that are on the docket.
Q: Rand Paul?
PALIN: We've already donated to Rand.
Q: Oh, you have?
PALIN: Yes we already have. (At least we will have by the time we have to disclose the SarahPAC expenditures again)
Q: Is there more on the way or is that yet to be determined?
PALIN: It is yet to be determined. There are hundreds of candidates on local, state and on the national level that hopefully we'll be able to help. Don't know how many and don't know specifically which ones it'll be today. (But I know it will be as few as possible. That damn money is mine!)
Q: Shifting course. A week or two ago you made waves by calling out Rahm Emanuel, calling for his firing for using the R-word.
PALIN: I said he shouldn't be in the president's inner circle calling the shots, policy decisions that are being made that affect Americans, he shouldn't be in the inner circle. That's what I called for. (Yeah I don't see how suggesting that he lose his job can be misconstrued as asking that he be fired. The media is just "making stuff up" again.)
Q: So you don't, given what happened over the last week, he called this meeting, he apologized. Is that sufficient or that's not sufficient, he should still go?
PALIN: Oh I think he needs to go for a variety of reasons. I think he gives horrible advice to our president obviously and I think he and some of the other president's advisers need to go. Look who the president has chosen with Van Jones and some of these other characters. I think if even if President Obama had a do-over he would ask for some changes in his administration.
Q: I mean who else comes to mind, rises up besides Rahm Emanuel?
PALIN: Well right now we're talking about ra--, we're talking about ---- Holder is giving poor advice on how we are to treat these terrorists, to bestow upon these terrorists the constitutional rights that our men and women in uniform fight and die for. These terrorists do not deserve these protections. And yet we are choosing, according to the White House, we are to choose to give them these protections. That's nonsense, they do not deserve these protections.( Yeah we cannot count on the American judicial system, that our soldiers are dying to protect, to actually bring these terrorists to justice. We need to execute them in a stadium without a trial, that is what America is all about. Oh wait, am I thinking of America or Iran here?)
Q: You think Holder should be out.
PALIN: He, just like Rahm Emanuel for a variety of reasons. I look forward as a matter of fact, to three years from now when the White House dramatically is shifted in terms of persons calling the shots. (Because with the help of Fox News, and the simpletons who give to my PAC, that is when the Palins will be "teabagging the White House"! Whoop whoop!)
Q: Back to the R-word for just a minute. Who reached out to you? And are you going to make this sort of a personal campaign or join another campaign?
PALIN: Special-needs parents reached out to me and obviously they know me well enough to know that I am sincere in my efforts to make this world a more welcoming place for those with special needs. (By the way does anybody remember where I put Trig down? Wait! Did I even bring him with me? OH well I'm sure Piper, or Bristol, or somebody is keeping an eye on him.) I made that commitment during the GOP convention speech. They knew that they could come to me and ask and I was happy to do it, I'd do it again in a heartbeat and I'm not politically correct, (Can't argue with that.) I am not a word police person but there are some things, especially coming from the most powerful office in the world, in the free world, the chief of staff in that office being so demeaning and degrading to those with special needs. And remember too it's not as benign as the White House wants to spin this into. He didn't just use the r-word applying it to a plan, he called opponents of a plan f'ing retards. (LIE!) That's demeaning, degrading, it's beneath the dignity of the White House. That alone should I think make the president ask for that do-over with his chief of staff. (And Rahm did not say it in he cute way that Rush Limbaugh did, or Glenn Beck did, or Ann Coulter did. He said it all mean and stuff.)
Q: Obama made a Special Olympics crack about a year ago.
PALIN: Yeah he did, and so that pattern there -- (Yes clearly the President and his staff hate the learning disabled. That is why they did not show up to speak at the teabagger convention.)
Q: Did you say anything then?
PALIN: I sure did, I did. I was the governor then and I made a statement saying you know, insensitive, come on, coming from the most powerful man in the free world, you should do better than that, Mr. President. Yeah I made a statement about that and was criticized for that too, but I don't care -- I รข€˜m not gonna sit down and shut up. I'm gonna tell people that this pattern of not just the insensitivity, but the flippant way of perhaps looking at those who are less fortunate and are not part of that elite crowd there in Washington I'm sick of it and I'm gonna stand up and I'm gonna say something about it because I think I'm speaking on behalf of others who are concerned about it.
Q: Are you gonna join a group? I mean there's the r-word.org, it's sort of like trying to stop the word gay in a demeaning way, trying to stop the r-word.
PALIN: I don't believe that I have to join any word or police thing or organization. I can speak out independently and say come on Mr. Emanuel enough is enough of that and Mr. President, come on, let's be civil, let's be professional and worthy of the positions that you have in the White House. (Yeah follow MY example like when I suggested that you were "palling around with terrorists"...oh wait that won't work...or when I called you a socia...oh wait....well you know what I mean!)
Q: Now, where do you see the future of the tea party movement and your role in it as well?
PALIN: The tea party movement is beautiful. It's a grassroots effort -- not a well-oiled machine that is replicated with the Dems or the Republicans thank goodness, because hopefully personalities and power struggles and titles won't get in the way of just doing what is right for this country and that's what the tea party's all about. Let's do what's right for this country, let's let our voice be heard on reminding Congress that we are taxed enough already. There are constitutional limits to what our federal government is trying to do, we're gonna remind them of that, and we are going to respect our Constitution and do all that we can to protect it. (You can literally read that last answer a hundred times and you will NEVER find an ounce of substance in it.)
Q: You think it helps the GOP and not divide it any way?
PALIN: It absolutely helps, no, and those who are fearful about it and those who are trying to stir up controversy about it -- they obviously are apprehensive in terms of the message getting out there and those people are gonna get thumped because this is a good message. (Xenophobia, nationalism, revolution, you know "good messages" like that.)
Q: The organizers at this convention are very serious about what they want to do in the November elections. Do you think that in some districts, many districts, the tea party support is gonna have to be sort of must-have support in some of these GOP primaries.
PALIN: Absolutely. In some of these districts, absolutely, and there's nothing wrong with that. Who can argue against the people's movement. It's like who can argue against it in America's past history, the movements that changed our views on civil rights and respect for equality in other arenas. (Is she seriously comparing the teabagger movement to the civil rights movement? Holy crap, she is crazy!)This is what the tea party movement is all about too. Respecting our Constitution and not usurping the power of the people. All political power is supposed to be inherent in the people. Who can argue this movement? (oooh me, me, pick me!)
Q: I know you don't necessarily think polls are all that accurate, especially two, three, four years out, but various polls show you toward the top of potential 2012 challengers. Again, going back to this question, would you consider running if you felt the time were right, would you jump in the ring and challenge Obama? (Did he really just ask that question?)
PALIN: I would be willing to if I believe that it's right for the country. Today I see many, many other men and women across our country who are in as strong or stronger position than I am to take on the White House and if they're in a better position than I in three years, I'll support them. ( and that will pretty much guarantee that Obama wins a second term.)
Q: This poll said by I think a margin of about 4-1 among Republicans they thought you were more qualified to be president than Obama. Do you think you're more qualified to be president than President Obama?
PALIN: The whole qualification issue still perplexes me, (Again, I don't understand the question) because in the campaign we tried to bring attention to the fact that Obama had really not a lot of experience. And I do say that my executive experience, as an administrator, as a team manager if you will was, and so was John McCain's as a matter of fact, was stronger and we had more experience than Barack Obama did in terms of managing huge multi-billion dollar budgets and thousands of employees that I had just come from a position of that and that hasn't changed. (Would you like some dressing with your word salad?)
Q: But without McCain?
PALIN: And without McCain, I mean Barack Obama had 150 days in the U.S. Senate where he was able to vote quite often present, not have to make decisions, being one of many, not having to manage. His executive position now in the White House is as, whether he likes it or not, a manager. He has to make tough decisions. He has to be willing to fire people, though you don't make any friends when you fire people and I know that first hand because I've had to do that. (And everybody back home hates my ass!) And you have to make tough decisions, and not dither on issues. You have to make quick decisions in many respects and I think that President Obama with all due respect, his lack of experience is really made manifest (Biblical code words kids!) in the way that decisions are made in the White House today.
Q: Is health care reform dead?
PALIN: I sure wish that the present tool being used to reform health care would die, (Death panels for "tools"?)but I don't trust as far as I can throw them some of the people who are saying ok, we'll slow down, we hear from ya' -- people, we're not gonna try to take over one-sixth of the economy. I don't trust these, some of these people, that it is dead. It should be dead, the tool that's being put together right now for health care reform. (?)We need to just get back to, scrap this thing, look at common sense steps that can reform health care like the tort reform (Won't help) and purchasing insurance across state lines (Also will not help.) and allowing employers and employees to receive the same tax benefits when you purchase insurance, those common sense steps that have broad support. (Calling them"common sense" and then pointing out they are supported by Fox News viewers does NOT make a plan viable.) That's what we should be looking at, not big old government with a trillion-dollar plus price tag, we're gonna take it over and we're gonna run it better than the private sector can, so in that respect what they're working on today there in Congress and the White House, it needs to die." (Why does this so-called "right to life" advocate constantly call for the death of things?)
Okay well that was...bizarre....I keep wondering how nay body who ACTUALLY listens to the moose crap that falls out of her mouth could possibly support her, and yet there are some who do.

This woman proves over and over and over again that's she is racing toward the finish line for "Stupidest person on Earth" prize... She has a great shot at winning too...
ReplyDeleteRoger Ebert, the film critic, twittered about Sarah's speech last night. He thought that she was really off her game, and that something had happened right before the speech to rattle her.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to tell from the Fox interview if that is what upset Sarah. More likely, producers took her aside and criticized her performance, such as talking over Chris Wallace, or failing to make certain points that were scripted for her. You know how Sarah can "go rogue" and give better answers than the ones that they have planned for her.
We also have to wonder if the email dump got to her, having to defend Todd's involvement in Alaska government.
I agree with Roger. Sarah's delivery of her speech at the 2008 convention was right on the mark and gave us all reason to worry. Last night, she was not in control and she gave a terrible performance. The good news is that she refuses (or can't) rehearse, practice, take advise, learn, control her voice, read from notes, finish a sentence or control her emoitions. She sounded rattled, and for $100,000. I would expect her to spend a little more time preparing to give the speech that some one wrote for her.
Reading the transcript would have been unbearable without your funny commentary.
ReplyDeleteIf any of Sarah's pals are reading, they might want to tell her that Obama never voted "Present" in the U.S. Sendate...'cause it's not an option. And you might want to stop using her as a piggy bank and get the woman some help.
Palin repeats the lie in her Chris Wallace interview - http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/07/transcript-fox-news-sunday-interview-sarah-palin/
ReplyDeletePALIN: I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with "F-ing retards."
She's done this before, skew what somebody else has said and regurgitate it the way she wants it framed. The big lie - repeat it often enough and people will believe Emanuel called SOMEBODY 'F-ing RETARDS' instead of what he did, which is call an IDEA 'F-ing RETARDED.'
Since many critics have said in effect, look it's not like he called somebody 'a retard' - that would be offensive, she's just going to change the story and make out that that is what he said. Because she lies and doesn't get called out, she believes she can continue to get away with it.
Well, as Joe Wilson might say, "Sarah Palin, YOU LIE!'
I could only make it halfway through that. when the first half is nonsensical, I can't be bothered to continue.
ReplyDeleteshe just keeps digging her hole deeper. she doesn't have the "common sense" to lay low and do some studying in order to be more versed and more professional.
Palin: Obama could help re-election fortunes if he plays "the war card"
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politico.com/blogs/politicolive/0210/Palin_Obama_could_help_reelection_fortunes_if_he_plays_the_war_card.html
she scares the sg%$# out of me
CBS radio played a clip of Sarah Palin speaking- either from the interview with Chris Wallace or from her tea baggers speech. She wants President Obama to declare war on Iran to strengthen our position with Israel.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's Congress that declares war, not the POTUS. And, do we really need to pour gasoline on the already troublesome fires in the Middle East? Or maybe the one thing that Sarah took away from her days with McCain was that old Beach Boys tune, "Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran."
As usual she never offers specifics. It's always tired platitudes. She insults the president every time she opens her mouth and yet whines for civility?
ReplyDeleteYou can tell it just gets her goat that Barack Obama is in the WH instead of her and McTool. The President surely doesn't need word salad advice from a halfwit.
I don't get how she can trump her executive experience since she quit her Gov. term with 18 months to go. Even her tenure as Mayor was a joke. Mayor of less people than the President has to manage and she's more qualified? I also read a story there was some concern about her padding her managerial resume when she ran for mayor. Any info on that? I ask because I just don't see what jobs she ever held prior to that.
Sadly, there are too many Americans that can't see beyond her phony populist jargon. Today on MSNBC some woman was making excuses for Palin handwriting nonsense. She stated that people would forgive her that because, once again, it makes her just like ordinary people, she makes mistakes, just like the rest of us. gah. The last time I wrote on my hand while giving a speech was...never. Now, I may jot something down on my hand when I'm doing things around my house as a quick measure but every time I had to give a speech I knew it cold. That's something Sarah will never accomplish no matter how many years she's given.
I want to know just what it's going to take to get rid of her. Her disgusting teflon is appalling.
Wow! All I can say is Palin is easily the most ignorant human being I've come across in 57 years.
ReplyDeleteNo one else even comes close.
I have relatives with Alzheimer's that are more alert and coherent than this idiot.
Did she really say that she thought TWICE about the 'choice' of keeping Trig? Once when she found out she was pregnant and then when she found out he had Downs? I'm sure I heard it.
ReplyDeleteShe also said something about others running in 2012, paraphrasing, "opening that door even if the door is not open'? I do not want to go back to listen for it!!
@anon10:23 When I go shopping, I have to take a shopping list, or I will surely forget something. I have also reached the point where I have to cross off each item, just so I come home with the stuff I planned on buying.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if I was being paid $100,000. to put on a good show, hopefully for people who would hire me again or support my political views, I would not bring my shopping list to the podium. I would have worked a little harder to earn the money. Unfortunately, Sarah does not have a history of working hard at anything.
I watched some of the Chris Wallace interview and the b.s. was really flowing, especially when it came to Todd's role as co-gov. She said he was helping her by forwarding emails because when she was out of town all she had was her Blackberry. Hello? NO LAPTOP?
ReplyDeleteHe's her best friend, soulmate, blah, blah, blah!
In regards to the TP fee, she said that she acknowledged from DAY ONE that it would not be going to her? That is certainly able to be disputed.
She also talks over Wallace and goes off point when he talks about something she doesn't like, e.g. Rush saying "retard"--oh, he was using satire, the emails--incoherent babbling again.
This woman actually thinks she could be President with Toad sitting there beside her during the meetings!
Wallace said Reagan would never have quit and he was persecuted by the media and other politicos, also referred to him being a lame duck governor for his final term. Poor Sarah had it much worse, lies about ethics complaints costing millions of dollars for the state (I'm sure Alaska has attorneys on retainer) Says her staff had to focus on ethics complaints in regards to her 80% of the time and couldn't do state business then turns around and talks about the complaints being about her Artic Cat jacket, holding fish, etc. How could that interfere with state business and if her staff had to do all this work, what was her attorney doing to earn the alleged $500k fee.
Gryphen, is there any absolute factual, cannot be denied info about these numbers (in regards to money spent) that she makes up? This needs to be refuted. I know if she attempts to run, all these lies will come back to haunt her and she won't be able to lie her way out of the emails.
FWIW, I was talking to a cousin of mine this morning whose father was a member of Congress during the Nixon era. Her Mother is still active in the GOP and Palin's name came up. Apparently she was talking to her godfather who is well known in D.C. as one of the "go to" people in the GOP. She told me they had actually talked about $P at a recent family gathering. She was concerned about her being considered for the nomination and she said he started laughing. He said there is NO WAY she will ever get the nomination, that it won't be allowed to happen. Considering who her godfather is, I am relieved to hear this. Apparently, there are some who believe that Palin can be "useful" for awhile and then will be "let go". This should be interesting to watch if it happens this way. When I look back at other things he's said and that she has told me about, he's always been 100% accurate. The other thing he said was "remember that people are fickle and have short attention spans and they will not want to hear about Palin for the next 3 years". It makes sense if you look at it that way.
I wonder if she grew up with Chuckie constantly telling her to "sit down and shut up" since she uses this phrase defiantly so often. Maybe now that she is a "big girl", she can talk back to Dad? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI guess she was going "rogue" when she scribbled the cheat sheet on hands and not on index cards. How much longer are we going to have to listen to her hatred and whinning? Are the puppeters having trouble controlling her?
ReplyDeleteThank God I had a connection problem with FAUX noise this morning, so I missed the interview. But here I am again, reading everything in sight.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes question my obsession with this woman. I just want the Sarah Palin show to be cancelled for the season. Please. I'd be happy to see little snippets on America's Favorite Bloopers, though.
Look at her eyes.
ReplyDeleteI read a conservative blog for variety. She has lost everyone by sticking up for Rush over her kid (?) wth the retard usage.
ReplyDeleteAppears SP can't be reasoned with in any shape or form, ie. her argument about the Rush/Rahm's use of retarded. Her mental reasoning is skewed and it must be apparent now to Chris Wallace and Fox staff.
ReplyDeleteIt's not even funny any more to watch her as she spews forth her thoughts, rambling, absolutely no diplomacy.
Her interviews give an impression she's on "defensive" all the time. Never calm, patient answers on solutions to build up the teabagger's agenda, just lancing accusations at the Administration and the president.
It's a sad thing to watch an individual mentally self-destruct on prime-time tv.
I cant understand how they justify paying her for that empty retarded speech.
ReplyDeletesmartcanerican...this also struck me as one of the oddest (there were so many) parts of the interview. Sarah said it like 5 or 6 times in the 25 minute broadcast interview. WTF?
ReplyDeleteI guess that is a popular theme in the Palin/Heath households. And I do agree with AnneNC...the Fox gig and book were her "golden parachute" from the GOP. She will endorse whoever they tell her to , which is now painfully clear. SHe devoted the first few minutes of her speech to Scott Brown who is on the record for being pro-choice. To the evangelicals, that would never be acceptable.
That war-mongering speech came directly from Cheney's neo-cons...could have been spouting forth from the dark overlord's offspring. The Israel flag pin, war with Iran, it was classic Cheney. They won't let her run, but will keep stuffing her with their talking points.
Only good thing...the more she gets out there and campaigns, the more she will mobilize Democrats. She is President Obama's largest fundraiser.
I would love to see a debate with her and President Obama. She would never say the things she does to or in front of President Obama. She is not worthy of being in the same room as him. She has no class, she is digusting. How she can get away with insulting our govt like she does is horrible. I like the idea that someone posted, to have a less attractive female say word for word what she spews and see how it looks then. I usually always try to find the good in everyone, this woman has no good in her.
ReplyDeleteAnne NC asks: is there any absolute factual, cannot be denied info about these numbers (in regards to money spent) that she makes up? This needs to be refuted.
ReplyDeleteCheck out these links:
http://www.henkimaa.com/2009/07/10/governors-office-admits-errors-on-palin-spreadsheet/
http://www.henkimaa.com/2009/07/09/count-me-once-count-me-twice/
http://www.henkimaa.com/2009/07/07/the-2-million-dollar-meme/
These include original work disputing her $2million claim with additional verification by the Anchorage Daily News.
Also, the question nobody has ever bothered to ask her: If Bill Clinton could face impeachment and trial and still run the executive branch and administer foreign policy, arguably an exponentially greater challenge, why was her administration so paralyzed by ethics complaints she claims are 'frivolous?' Maybe she just lacks executive ability?
What saddened me most was when she had to resort to using Trig at the very end of the speech; perhaps she was realizing she wasn't doing very well and threw in a proven applause getter.
ReplyDeleteOkay, it also gave me hope to see she was that desperate. That people gave that part of her speech the biggest applause says a lot.
Also, was anyone else appalled about how she kept looking over at the vet in a vest saying "You, Sir" this and "You, Sir" that and then blowing a kiss to him. Guess she would have winked at him also, too, but her eyebrows and eyelids don't work well any longer.
All in all, it was a speech that had Desperation oozing from every word and gesture.
Perhaps she wasn't prepared because she thought she could get out of it, but was told she couldn't.
Plus, the fact that network cameras were let in (probably to defray costs) might have rattled her. She doesn't really like all those "elites" having a chance to scrutinize her, does she?
Anon 10:03 says that $P said, "Obama could help re-election fortunes if he plays 'the war card.' "
ReplyDeleteNot nearly as much as POTUS could help get re-elected by NOT playing "the war card"!
And ANNE NC, your family story took a load of worry off my mind--thank you!
Greg Sargent at The Plum Line had picked up the story back then. Also too.
ReplyDeletehttp://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/republican-party/key-reason-palin-gave-for-quitting-appears-to-be-false/
Scott Brown must be cringing today.
ReplyDeleteHow can make comments about a teleprompter, when she reading her complete speech? what a dolt.
ReplyDeleteYour commentary made it bearable?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, any information that anyone is holding about her should be let out. Immediately. This is just getting a little too creepy.
ReplyDeletei thought that, too smartcanarican
ReplyDeleteole chucko sure seems to try and act like he's one up on her...he's still the boss
I still can't get that butt whacking all the women (including lil' piper..thank god she was too short!) after that speech Palin gave on the book tour.. daddy heath there with his super creepy smirk .. giving his wife a swift whack square on the bottom
Likes seeing women folk "jump"
and giving a "toddler" warm Eye Balls to hold
(that is if story teller Sarah told the truth in her all about me book)
shows he just has to be the man...
so the "sit down and shut up" I'm sure was used regularly...
lingo like that makes one feel "superior"
Now Sarah can be the "tough guy" .. it's all she knows
Anyone that is a threat to her (well, sees her as she is.. an idiot)
she starts swinging (from a safe distance, of course.. faux news and facebook)
I think he has little man syndrome
tries to act "manly and tough" around women/kids..
he would run if a real man ever confronted him
Sarah is just as cowardly
Yes, that's it.. Sarah Palin is a coward
She is all bark behind safe screen
She is like that dog that is (no offense to dogs here) that yipper yappers and growls behind their owners legs.. but the moment the owner walks away they run whimpering to hide
The moment she is confronted .. hence the Rush comment.. she pulls the palm scribble/talking point card and then goes into hiding
Chucko Heath taught Sarah to be a coward
all starting with the "sit down and shut up"
:D
Just got back in--on 1010 WINS (NY area), they had a slightly snarky report about "That Girl's" T-bag speech--don't know if I'm quoting the report verbatim, but the all-wise SP suggested that President Obama should "bomb Iran" to regain credibility, and it was implied that it would be ABSURD if she DIDN'T run for President in 2012 (this IS taken verbatim from the report). These "remarks" were quoted, NOT replayed. IMO, the WINS news anchor seemed amused by the whole thing. NPR also reported on SP's speech with a little more--awe? respect?? cheer??? Unreal. Is the MSM being paid handsomely to keep hammering this raving lunatic into the public consciousness? No mention of "talk to the hand" either. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteOff to brush up on my Flash animation--it will come in handy in the future. Over and out.
what I haven't seen addressed about the speaking fee - why accept the money as income and pay taxes on it, only to turn around and donate it? that makes no sense - she won't get a deduction for the full value, and if she's not "keeping" it, why pay income tax on it at all? any money experts out there?
ReplyDeleteI keep going back to the fact that she was that close to the presidency. What has our country become?? I would say at this point I like seeing her out there and the Republicans are going to have to cut and run from her soon.
ReplyDeleteI write everything down or I tend to forget. But I am not running for office or even pretending I would able to do so. Big difference.
ReplyDeleteI watched about 3 min of her speech all I could handle. I am trying to read her book, got it from the library. I have gotten through 4 pages in 2 days. I can read a book within 2 days. Someone said it on Huff post. The book is like someone took a bunch of words threw them in the air, put them on paper, added sentences and commas at random.
She may very well make some people feel like she is like them (liar that she is) but I don't want someone just like me to run the country. I want someone much smarter. Why my vote went to President Obama.
If Palin ever passed a basic Eng.101
ReplyDeleteclass in college someone else must've surely done the writing assignments
for her.
Her teabag speech was lame even by the usual low bar standard that she
gets by with. Reminds me of elementary
school when we had to give a book report, but some hadn't read the book.
No problem, they'd just scrambled a few highlights from the cover-flap synopsis & hoped for the best. At
least it provided 'talking points.'
You know, the way Sarah does it.
Of course, the teacher soon sorted the wheat from the chaff so to speak, resulting in a '0'for the scammers.
As is the case for Mrs. P.
Now let's focus the big spotlight
back onto the things that might actually put a crimp in her bumpet -
those pesky emails & the darn tax
evading revelations.
Sharon TN
A " Normal " person would be totally embarrassed to say and do the things that she does. They would be hanging their head in shame for all the outright LIES that spew from her empty head and her ' empty heart '. She has no compassion or empathy for ANYONE... even the family members. Bristol paraded at the convention, Bristol being MADE TO represent an abstinence Program,making Bristol ( in Court docs )sign her name to the words and this apparent vendetta that she wants to inflict toward Levi.( But USING Bristol to do so ).The ' ghostwriters book ' is filled with everyone who SHE FEELS has ever embarrassed her. " It's all THEIR fault " Any day she will tell us who MADE HER write those notes on her hand... it couldn't be Her fault. Back to the empathy and compassion... a big " ZERO "... the same amount she paid in Taxes.Not even afraid to mention ' dithering '.... projecting Much..? The Woman ( Governor )who sat in her warm house ' dithering ' for 6 weeks while people in her State had no heat or food. She is as pure Evil as Dick Cheney. Fortunately for us Dick only has a few more years left.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this ' cheat Note 'prank will open some peoples eyes as to how inept, incompetent and clueless she is when left to carry out her plans and they won't fear or be frightened by her and will speak up. More of those anonymous letters sent to AKM and her mailbox or people who see the REAL Sarah Palin exposed in those emails.The truth has to come out. It can't happen soon enough though because she loves to spread her Hate when she speaks.That speech was NOT geared to her audience and the Tea baggers....She didn't care about them. That was HER speech, for HER benefit, with all that hate and anger coming through. You could see it in her eyes. And she truly enjoyed it. She LIKES to hurt people. The fight to expose her continues.
Boy, Levi's Super Bowl commercial was great!
ReplyDeleteYou did see it, didn't you?
Thanks for posting the transcript of that interview, Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteWonder what common sense steps she used as governor when she first heard an Alaskan died from lack of state run Medicaid services during her term?
I think she defined "independent" in an effort to make it "common sense" that she means free will. When in reality, she's trying to cover up the Palins' relationship with the AIP. She is a RINO.
She slammed someone for using the word "retarded." Yet, she slashed $2M from the monies going to the Alaska Special Olympics in 2008. Actions speak louder than words.
Old myth:
ReplyDeleteLast year, the state of Alaska gave the Special Olympics $250,000. This year, the Alaska legislature requested $550,000 for Special Olympics, which would have constituted a 120 percent increase. It is typical, of course, for advocates to submit impossibly high budget requests, even during budget crunches, in the hopes of getting whatever they can. This is understood by anyone who has ever run an organization or prepared a budget that requires legislative or executive approval.
Gov. Palin denied the request, but not completely: She reduced it to a 10-percent raise, approving a gift of $275,000. A 10 percent raise during tough times is very good, as any employee in America would quickly attest. For most employees, a raise of 3 to 4 percent is a good raise.
In other words, not only did Palin not cut funding, she actually raised it — just not as much as some would have liked.
As a further check into the context of the 2008 raise, we went back to the 2005 budget. For that year, the Special Olympics received only $125,000.
She is not giving the money to anyone. What did she say, exactly at the end of the Q&A ---somehthing like I have to get with my financial advisers ......I am sorry but I can not bring myself to read the transcript or watch any more.
ReplyDeleteSarahPac pays the PAC treasurer $6000/month. She has a PAC attorney on retainer.
She has had 2 weeks to determine exactly what to do with the money and how to give it back to the worthy. She has been saying that she would not personally profit from the fee for at least that long.
With multiple PAC experts on her payroll, she did nothing to determine how to turn that $115,000right back around. It is just another LIE. She is keeping the money. ALL OF THE MONEY. Especially now that she made a FOOL of herself to earn it.
If you all noticed, her entire response to Wallace's question about what she would do with the speaking fees was done with her head suddenly snapping to turn downward and her eyes avoiding all contact with him – almost as though looking toward the back of the stage and then down. Her entire body language changed at that moment, and she deliberately lost all eye contact with him and the camera – unusual for her: she LOVES looking at the camera.
ReplyDeleteHope he and the bot viewers noticed this as well.
Sarah's Schizophrenic Verbal Diarrhea English:
ReplyDelete"...someone like me who has been unfortunately by the media put in a box..."
"I will do this when many of the positions can be supported but also my position on supporting competitive, rigorous contested primaries is very important."
"in the campaign we tried to bring attention to the fact that Obama had really not a lot of experience. And I do say that my executive experience, as an administrator, as a team manager if you will was, and so was John McCain's as a matter of fact, was stronger and we had more experience than Barack Obama did in terms of managing huge multi-billion dollar budgets and thousands of employees that I had just come from a position of that and that hasn't changed."
"I sure wish that the present tool being used to reform health care would die,but I don't trust as far as I can throw them some of the people..."
"It should be dead, the tool that's being put together right now for health care reform."
"I wonder if she grew up with Chuckie constantly telling her to "sit down and shut up" since she uses this phrase defiantly so often."
ReplyDeleteShe probably hears it every day from Todd and the sullen teenagers.
When asked by Wallace about specific policies of Rand Paul's that she endorsed, she gave another "all of them" answer after specifically stating that there were areas of disagreement. Does she honestly think that she is going to be able to fancy pageant walk her way into the Oval Office without facing serious questions from journalists more serious than the FauxNews clowns?
ReplyDeleteIf Andrew Sullivan is a good indication, I think that there will be plenty of folks in the press who realize that they didn’t do a very good job covering either John Edwards or Sarah Palin. They were suckered by the slick packaging and the very photogenic glamorous image that each projected. I think you wouldn’t find one reporter in 100, even among the right wing whores at Faux News, who would admit privately that it would be a good thing for Palin to be POTUS. I think that there are MANY who would love to be the one who history records as the person most responsible for exposing Palin for the incompetent, lying, arrogant moron that she is.
My guess is that as long as she is just a celebrity, she will enjoy much more latitude concerning her ethics and her veracity. That being said, however, if the National Enquirer - who did break the John Edwards story - got wind of real scandal concerning Trig’s real birth mother, they would love to scoop the rest of the “legit” press corps. If they got another such feather in their cap it would do much to rehabilitate their image. There are many others who would also like to best all of their colleagues by being THE ONE who gets to claim the Palin pelt as their own.
Palin has very few friends in media and she knows it. If she is serious about running for POTUS, she cannot hide out at FauxNews forever. She is in for some extremely rough handling by the real journalists this next time around. After augering in during the softball Couric interviews, Palin has every reason to be very frightened indeed.
Anon 2:52 While you are checking your facts, why not include all of them. . .instead of skipping from 2005 to 2008, admit what she did in 2006,2007. . .a time when Alaska was awash in money and she upped the Permanent fund payments. . .but unnecessarily slashed the requests for unwed teen homes/schooling, special education schooling and the Special Olympics?
ReplyDeleteI was with you on the first paragraph, but then when you manipulated the money time line, you lost me.
She's a heartless woman, a woman who pretends to be a Christian, yet who gives little time and money, personally, to the disabled. . .not to mention the Alaskan Natives who are starving and freezing in those remote villages.
Oh, I forgot the plate of cookies. Perhaps this year she will put 10% more on the plate.
Ron, aka Me, thanks for those links. Per $arah's usual M.O., she has lied again and again about the costs associated with her ethics complaints. Does she really think she will get away with this if she should decide to run in 2012?
ReplyDeleteMrs. TBB, I was happy to hear that info, too. As I said, anything she has relayed to me before has turned out to be right on the money. Her daughter is getting married in April and I expect he'll be there. Hopefully, I can corner him and get some more dirt. LOL! Or possibly by then $P will be irrelevant. Right, Gryphen?
The one thing that resonates with me loud and clear, throughout any speech or comment she makes, is that she has not a clue as to the demands of the Presidency. She also thinks she can run via Twitter and Facebook. Her 'bots says she won't need to do any media interviews with the unfriendly press or sit through debates that are obviously rigged to make her look bad. They are laying the groundwork for her to do things differently to hide her lack of intelligence. That will not sit well with the American people as a whole. Plus, she won't be able to just brush off those questions about the emails with more lies.
OMG, when I first started reading this interview that we are commenting on [you know, this one right before the TB speech to Faux Snooze], I swear I thought Gryphen was playing a joke or it was copied from 'the Onion' or Gryph made it up!! I can't believe this was a REAL interview. Being as I absolutely cannot [nor would not] waste one second of my precious time listening to her screech out another word salad after putting up with all her BS during the 2008 race. This is truly unbelievable in that she had the nerve to admit [out loud] the issues she discusses. I'd hang my head so fast in shame and do a runner's walk outta there that I'd leave 1/2" deep tracks on the floor - you know, like the roadrunner. What a complete and total idiot! Thank god it's not me or my family producing people like her and letting them loose in this world!
