First reports from Long Island illustrate that the Grizzled Mama is still baring her claws and showing America how unfit she is for any type of leadership position. Update!

From Politico:

After saying she's still considering it but doesn't have an answer, Palin told a gathering of Long Island business officials that no one immediately comes to mind for who she would back if she doesn't run.

“I don’t have a name to give you right now, but what I would look for in character is someone who’s been on the front lines understanding how to administer and how to lead a team. ... Gosh, nobody’s more qualified [for the] mujltitaksing than a woman, a mom… who’s administered locally, state, with energy isues, so maybe a mayor, a governor maybe.

(Even a wife  whose husband is paying a prostitute for  sex, a mother who never has time for her children, a mayor who left her little town 20 million dollars in debt, and a Governor who walked away from her job half way through? Are those the type of "qualities" she means?)

During her appearance before the Long Island Association, a rare, free-wheeling public appearance for the former Alaska governor, Palin stood by her support for the "freedoms" in gun-buying that exist today. She said she prays for the "full recovery" of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords but that her would-be assassin was "an evil sick person" who was intent on "fulfilling his mission."

(Yes I agree that there are a lot of "evil sick" people in the world.)

Palin also used the opportunity to blast President Barack Obama over government debt and mocked First Lady Michelle Obama over pushing breast-feeding today a packed crowd at a Long Island business group, saying the White House is keeping the country on the "wrong road" in the wake of the new budget rollout.

“ I think that’s an overstatement to even say that we are even making a dent” in the national debt,” Palin said. “It’s not even really a dent…(it’s) a little thumbprint there.”

As for breast-feeding, she waded into the discussion about the first lady's promotion of breast-feeding babies, saying, "No wonder Michelle Obama's telling everybody, 'you'd better breastfeed your baby.' Yeah, you'd better, because the price of milk is so high right now!"

You know a REAL mother would know that breast milk is nutritionally the very best thing for babies to ingest to help them to develop into healthy children, and NOT simply a substitute for regular cow milk, or to help save money.

Let's face it THIS is who Sarah Palin is, and no matter how much preparation she has or time to study the questions she is always going to come off as a hateful thin skinned shrew to those who are not Right Wing kooks.

And let's also  face it that these people did not pay to HEAR Sarah Palin.  They paid to SEE this:


One has to wonder how many times she crossed her legs in order to distract the audience form noticing how ignorant she sounded?

Update: It looks like Snowdrift Snooki is still clinging to the false assumption that all she has to do to garner more support for her 2012 campaign is to let the American people see the REAL Sarah Palin.

From CBS News

Palin, whose rare public appearance was tightly controlled to the media, reiterated her distaste for the national press - and attributed poor poll numbers to the claim that the media "reports things that have really misrepresented my record."

The numbers "are what they are," she said. "How else does the public know me though, than through the press?"

"I look at those poll numbers and I say, if I'm going to do this then obviously I have to get out there," Palin continued. "I can't rely on a liberal leaning press to do that for you. That's why social media is going to be so important."

This may be the single most delusional person on the planet!  How can she not know that the reason for her plummeting popularity rating is because the  American people HAVE gotten to know her better, not because she is still a mystery to them.

Literally every time this woman opens her big mouth she loses just a little more support from potential voters, and yet she still believes it has to do with a media bias and nothing to do with her lack of intelligence, mean girl vindictiveness, and penchant for telling lies.  She is simply unbelievable.

Here are a couple of clips of of her Q & A from CBS.



Uh oh, it looks like in this next one Palin manages to lose one of her more fanatical demographics, the Birthers.



Yep a couple more appearances and the only person still supporting Sarah will be....Sarah.

P.S. Isn't it kind of interesting that the one radical right wing idea that Palin WON'T endorse is the one that demands showing a birth certificate? Gee I wonder why?

  9. Forgot to add, she also said the if she ran for president, it would be a grass roots campaign. She rather talk to voters face to face in the diner. It certainly would be alot easier than engaging in debate with some of the other Republican candidates who are waiting to crush her in the primaries.
    She also was paid for her appearance. Don't see her as a presidential candidate, rather, I see her a money grubbing publicity whore.

    Sarah, what does breastfeeding your baby have to do with milk being expensive? You don't give babies cows' milk until they are at least a year old! By then, most mothers have already weaned their babies off of breast milk anyway. I would think that you would know that having had Trig, right? Oh...that's right.....

    I am from Long Island and I can tell you that the group that she spoke to is a die-hard republican, right wing Glenn Beck following bunch. Long Island has long been run by republicans and crooked politicians. Despite being close to NYC, the area does not represent the liberal thinking of the city, which is why she probably agreed to speak there. And I'm sure they threw softball questions.

    This blathering idiot has no clue about anything except telling lies, taking people's money, evading taxes and kissing RAM's ass.

    She made a total fool of herself by throwing off on Mrs. Obama about breast feeding. Our daughter who is a RN and has a Manager's job in a large hospital breast-fed her 2 kids and the doctor recommended it. Sarah is clueless and a total ass to even say such tiresome stupid things.

    Our next-door neighbor who has a great job at the Courthouse also breast-fed her child, her husband has a great job also in the State Police and they did not do it because of money. Their doctor also highly recommended it.

    Sarah and RAM are both ignorant about such matters and they should just shut the hell up as they show how insecure they both have become.

    Sarah is so jealous of Mrs. Obama and should be placed on a watch list for her hateful rheotric. I have felt that Sarah is becoming more mentally unstable and could be the cause of more violence.

    Sarah Palin does not have one original thought in her head.

    The breast feeding comments just mean she has joined the Michelle Bachmann jihad on this issue.

    Bachmann spoke on Laura Ingraham’s radio show, claiming that the new IRS ruling (that makes breast pump tax deductible) constituted a “nanny state” and that it was part of First Lady Michelle Obama's “hard left agenda."

    “I think this is very consistent with where the hard left is coming from. For them government is the answer to every problem. Clearly they are wrong because more spending won’t do it,” said Bachmann. “I’ve given birth to five babies and I breastfed every single one of these babies. To think that government has to go out and buy my breast pump for my babies. You wanna talk about the nanny state? I think we just got the new definition of a nanny," she continued.

Looking for soundbites while dissing motherhood. And further, she completely negates the value and health benefits for the baby's start in life from the nutrients that are found in mama's milk.

  44. This has to be where Sarah got her "birther" talking point from - Rove just recently said that the GOP leadership needs to step up:

    "Within our party, we've got to be very careful about allowing these people who are the birthers and the 9/11-deniers to get too high a profile and say too much without setting the record straight,"

    If they'd step forward and say "Look, we've got better things to talk about, then to fall into this trap that the White House has laid for us", this issue will start to go away.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/17/karl-rove-birthers_n_824623.html


    Still NOT coming out and saying it isn't true - so they are trying to keep those who they convinced Obama isn't a US citizen to be quiet (but still part of the GOP and angry) but just quiet so it doesn't turn off the rest of the saner voters

    There has to be a way to beat these idiots with their own insanity...for instance
    instead of saying Obama is a U.S. citizen (which they won't believe) - we should start yelling that McCain, Palin, the Secret Service, every single Republican big wig etc. etc. are all behind the lie of the century covering up for Obama - get them mad at their own people

    Same thing with Palin - instead of trying to prove she did not give birth to Trig - we need to shout it from the roof tops how she endangered the life of an unborn child (in her own words she put that child at risk - if she was pregnant - which is far worse then adopting a child)

    This approach can be taken on a lot of the issues - take what the right claims as fact, and present those facts under a bright light of sanity and their own "facts" can't hold up.

    What mother in her right mind would offer cow's milk to an infant? It lacks the full array of nutrients a developing body and mind need.

    If a woman choses not to breastfeed or cannot do so (there are several legitimate medical reasons, BTW, it's not just about convenience), formula would be the proper route. It is not as good as human milk, but it so vastly superior and safer for the infant than cow's milk.

    Doesn't Sarah even know about milk allergies? Good gawd, that woman's willful ignorance has no limits.

    Guess Keith said it best: "That woman is an idiot."

    Oh - and yes, I believe she wore an inappropriate short skirt for a reason. When your sex appeal is all you've got going for you, you have to sell it as much as you can.

    As for breast-feeding, she waded into the discussion about the first lady's promotion of breast-feeding babies, saying, "No wonder Michelle Obama's telling everybody, 'you'd better breastfeed your baby.' Yeah, you'd better, because the price of milk is so high right now!"

    *facepalm* Does she not realize how many women of ALL political stripes are strong breastfeeding advocates?!?

    I swear, if the First Lady came out and said that ingesting mercury was a bad thing, I think Sarah Palin would show up on Fearmongering News and eat a big ol' bowl of mercury on live TV.

  63. Don't cha think a mom with a 2+ year old would remember that you don't feed an infant milk?
    Breast is best and then there is formula.

    Child hood obesity is an incredible problem with potential devastating medical problems and huge costs in health care.

    republicans are never pro active. They run the deficit up after being given a surplus by Clinton.
    They don't want to hear what Michelle Obama is saying because she IS RIGHT.
    palin should know this, if she was paying attention when mayor and governor.
    As Gov. she should have been appraised of the childhood obesity problem. but ya know, maybe she wasn't paying attention that day.

    $P tries (impotently) to win over women by saying a multitasking mom would be best for the job, but she is too heartless and fake to realize she fucked it up with the breastfeeding comment. Every mom I know who breastfeeds does it primarily out of love. It is not easy to stick with breastfeeding sometimes, but moms do it because it is best for their babies. Some moms really go to a lot of trouble to pump milk at their jobs so their babies can have the best nutrition possible. For Queen Icebitch to mock such an important message and suggest in such a snarky, bitchy way that it should be done to save money is a slap in the face to these dedicated, loving parents.

    You know, even fiscal conservatives ought to back breastfeeding.

    Our taxes pay for WIC, which includes formula. Formula is very expensive.

    If you go to a daycare that has a lot of low income members, usually it is the low income moms who use formula. If asked, some of them will come right out and tell you that breastfeeding is for "poor people," not seeing the irony that it is only poor people who get free/reduced priced formula.

    Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. But even the Duggers (who are sooo into breastfeeding), usually move to formula after 3 months.

    You notice that the higher the income, the more likely the mother will breastfeed.

    Also, the current US recommendations are for breastfeeding till AT LEAST one year. The World Health Organization recommends up to two years.

    Palin echoed the words of former President Ronald Reagan while repeatedly lashing out at the Obama administration: "President Obama thinks big government is the answer, and I think big government is the problem."

    She lashed out at the president's current $3 trillion-plus budget proposal, saying that it lacked true Presidential leadership, because it did not tackle entitlement reform.

    When asked what she would have proposed, she said that the government needs to tell people that things are going to change, "certainly with Medicaid and Social Security."

    She touched on the threat of a government shutdown if the debt ceiling isn't raised by praising lawmakers who refuse to rubber-stamp the president's proposals.

    "The people of America are saying enough is enough. Tone-deaf politicians are going to be fired if they don't listen. That's what going rogue is all about. People want our government establishment to be shaken up. No more pre-ordained candidates. I think it will be an unconventional political cycle."

    She said the Obama administration offered no clarity during the Egyptian Revolution.

    "We now need to trust but verify that the Egyptian protestors want democracy."

    Palin said, "The U.S. government needs to be wary of the Muslim Brotherhood and we need to make sure that our interests like Israel and our energy supply are protected."

    She reiterated her stance that the current healthcare law needs to be repealed. But when asked, she refused to say if there were any parts of the bill worth saving.

    Palin stuck by her slogan made famous during the 2008 campaign, "Drill, baby, drill," when asked if her opinions on energy had changed because of the catastrophic BP oil spill. She said the United States domestic oil supply is not being tapped properly, creating a potential security risk.

    She also accused the Obama administration of using "snake oil science" as it deals with potential climate change.

    "I live in Alaska. I don't want to mess up the environment. But we don't have to tax energy to get there."

    Palin said she has never received as much criticism as she has during the last month because of the Tucson massacre. Her listeners, who spent $300 a plate to hear her, applauded when she said the massacre has not changed her stance on gun control.

    "There are already on the books gun control legislation that I support. I don't support hurting the good guys. The bad guys aren't going to follow the laws on the books today or new laws."

    She said adding new gun control legislation would not have stopped accused gunman Jared Loughner.

    During the question-and-answer session, Palin's use of Twitter repeatedly came up. She responded by pointing out how social media during the Egyptian uprising was another example of private enterprise doing a better job than the federal government.

    Palin said the government's fiscal policy is dangerous. "This administration supports America being on the road to ruin."

    Palin's sharpest comments were reserved for President Obama and his wife.

    "No wonder Michelle Obama is saying you better breastfeed your baby. I say yeah, you better, because the cost of milk has gotten so high."

    Sarah Palin Takes Ill-Advised Swipes At Michelle Obama, Mental Illness

    When news broke that Sarah Palin would allow mainstream media, rather than just Fox News, into a speech before the Long Island Association this morning, I thought the former governor may be prepping the press and public for a more amiable persona and eventual presidential announcement. How wrong I was.

    Well, this morning Palin delivered remarks before the Long Island Association, a business group, and actually allowed mainstream media to report on the event. Could this be her first step in thawing relations, I wondered?

    True to form, however, Palin used her speech as a platform to assail media outlets for making her look bad: media, she said, “reports things that have really misrepresented my record” and make it impossible for the public to get a true view of her politics.

    “I can’t rely on a liberal leaning press to do that for you,” Palin explained. “That’s why social media is going to be so important.”

    But the liberal media wasn’t Palin’s only target: she also blasted President Obama’s budget, which she insists “doesn’t make a dent” in the deficit, and also joined in on the growing conservative outcry over Michelle Obama’s breastfeeding initiative: “It’s no wonder Michelle Obama is telling everybody you need to breast feed your babies. The price of milk is so high!”

    Like Michele Bachmann, Mrs. Palin, a mother of five, puts politics above children’s health.

    Speaking of health, Palin also continued her demonization of Jared Loughner, the mentally ill man accused of trying to assassinate Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

    “The criminal, he was an evil sick person,” asserted Palin, before trying to explain why more gun restrictions wouldn’t have stopped the rampage in Arizona. “Adding another law to the book would not I believe have prohibited him from somehow some way fulfilling his mission and the mission he was on was to harm fellow human beings.”

    Despite a national discussion on the difference between mental illness and “evil,” Palin still thinks it’s best to inject her subjective moral beliefs into a medical debate.

    If Palin wants to get ahead in 2012, she’ll tone it down a bit, or at least avoid smearing breastfeeding mothers and the mentally ill.

If SarahPac paid for Bristol how did they justify her attendance? How can we find out if SarahPac did pay for Bristol? If yes, then I betcha SarahPac paid for a nanny for Tripp and I'm not talking about Shailey. This how Sarah is laundering money fom SarahPac, she is getting a bill from Bristol's LLC.

    From 12:10 pm:

    This is her story of why Todd is no longer her 'chief of staff'. Hahahah.
    ------------------

    “I am still thinking about it [a presidential run], certainly haven’t made up my mind. Hired a chief of staff because, to tell you the truth, Todd’s getting kind of tired of doing it all for me,” Palin answered. “Just in the past couple of weeks we’ve been so doggone busy, that Todd has finally said look, I do have a few things I need to do . . . so we hired a chief of staff for practical, logistical reasons.”

    12:10 PM

    (end quote - emphasis added)

    So in other words, Todd "does it all", which means his duties may consist of any or all of the following important tasks:

    - the intimidation of Palin clan "enemies", sometimes using tactics noted to be used by Scientologists

    - the giving of press releases mentioning "bloggers" to Dave Parker at the APD so he can issue them as quasi-official statements

    - hassling people on blog comment threads (Willow may provide backup)

    - making sure all the proper google alerts are set up so he knows what people are saying about Sarah and can accomplish the above tasks as needed.

    Sarah's job is to do "the rest": appear at "for pay" speaking engagements, where the unspoken agreement is that she will be wearing a short skirt while sitting on a squatty legged "thone chair" on an elevated stage, knees facing the audience, while she hurls insults at pretty much everyone, other than herself and the people who are currently giving her their money...

    Her increasing obsession with the apolitical, child oriented First Lady is not going to get her any votes or money. If she keeps it up it will eventually dawn on people who do care about children that Sarah is being extremely offensive to a person who is not making policy is not trying to influence politics, has no power to force anything on anybody, but is simply trying to do some good in the world.

    Of course she is obsessive about the Obamas in a very childish way, and she allows it to show her as being petulant, envious and infantile.

    That Sarah doesn't not realize how infantile her attack on the Obamas and particularly Michelle is says volumes about what type of a leader she would be.

    It also allows Michelle to win every comparison with out having to even repond to Palin's existence.

    Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin Demonize Michelle Obama’s Breast Feeding Campaign

    Both of these women are likely to run for the 2012 Republican nomination, but only one of them sounded like a presidential candidate. Michele Bachmann made it clear that she wasn’t opposed to breast feeding, and then used her personal bio to change the question into one about the tax code. On the other hand, Sarah Palin was content to deliver a snarky jab about the price of milk.

    Both Bachmann and Palin were opposed to Michelle Obama’s campaign, but for different reasons. Bachmann considers it social engineering to reclassify breast pumps as medical purchases that can be deducted as a medical expense. Sarah Palin hates the Obamas, so anything that they propose must be a bad idea that is going to ruin America.

    Michelle Bachmann’s argument about breast pumps being social engineering sounded way out of the American mainstream, but Sarah Palin came off as a half-wit who couldn’t even be bothered to encourage breast feeding.

    Essentially what we have here is the right wing criticizing two things that used to be popular with everyone, healthy children and tax breaks. The First Lady isn’t campaigning for anything radical. Breast feeding can help protect a baby from all kinds of illnesses. It may also boost a baby’s intelligence, lower the risk of SIDS, and protect from obesity. The First Lady is focused on preventing obesity, but there are numerous reasons why encouraging women to breast feed is a very healthy initiative. This shouldn’t be up for political debate.

    The opposition of Palin and Bachmann illustrates that Republicans have moved beyond their Party of No status into a pathological hatred of Barack and Michelle Obama. This obsessive anger has radicalized the GOP to the point where even things that everyone used to agree on must be demonized because the Obamas are associated with it.

    Sarah cannot answer questions that come unscripted from reporters. It was a real leap for her to answer questions posed by a friendly questioner in front of the media. She let people know a long time ago what was important and what would be forgotten.

    During her debate for governor, she marveled that Andrew Halcro could spout facts and figures. Sarah said that in the end, that's not what people will remember.

    She knew then that a cute remark, a wink and a you-betcha canceled out facts and figures. Sarah has nothing to say, so her best tactic is to sit, facing the audience, with her skirt hiked up as far as possible. I hope that she remembered to stroke her thighs and lick her lips. Sarah has a real instinct when it comes to working a crowd. As far as today's speech, no one will remember what slogans she spouted (although attacking Michelle Obama's health initiative regarding breast feeding was a dumb idea). No, the businessmen will be fooled as easily as that cruise ship of neocons were when they visited Alaska.

    Remember how after the campaign, Sarah blamed McCain's people for keeping her isolated and said that was such a mistake, that if she'd have been in control she'd have really gotten out there and let people see her and really get to know her? Remember how so many pundits agreed with her, because they said she's such a people person, dontcha know?

    The truth is that soon as the McCain people saw she couldn't handle even a fluff like Katie Couric, they did isolate Sarah and saved her from making a further fool of herself. But what we have seen since then is that Sarah herself learned the same lesson (see, Sarah can learn some things!). Ever since, rather than really letting people see her, she has controlled access to her royal self in ways never before seen. Yet all the while she talks about gettin' out there and meetin' people, because ya know shakin' their hands as they come through the line to buy your book is kinda like meeting them (only it doesn't give them a chance to really talk to her, or ask her questions, and it doesn't give her a chance to make a idiot of herself).

    This is Sarah running for president. She's not going to go thru that ole librul lamestream media who just distort things and make her look bad. She might meet people on an individual level, but she won't go anywhere she doesn't have complete control. She won't put herself in a position where her appalling ignorance could be exposed by a journalist or an interviewer asking her the most basic of questions. If she debates, she will insist on a format like the one they contrived for Biden, where she could just get up and read off her talking points.

    Everything Sarah says is a lie, the complete opposite of the the truth. She never ceases to take my breath away.

    My thoughts also, too, why bring it up when it only reminds us of her complicity in it.
    Why say at this late date she is praying. Most people probably haven't noticed her lack of public Christina sympathy for the victims and now she has pointed the finger at herself.

    Egads, she is stupid.

    I am one of the ones mentioning her lack of supportive comments about Giffords, during the last couple of weeks, on the assumption if a couple of hundred people asked that question on sites like the Alaska blogs or Huff Post, she would feel compelled to address the question. By doing so she has brought attention to her lack of sympathetic attitude up till now.

    Holy smokes, she is really looking bad and old. You know, Michelle Obama is one fine looking lady and she don't have fake cheeks and chin lifts and such. Michelle is really classy and very pretty and doesn't have all those sags that Sarah has. No wonder Sarah is so jealous.

    It is documented - when Palin governor before she quit - she came out in favor of breastfeeding and indicated its benefits. I'm writing from Alaska - her statement pro breastfeeding was read over the airwaves today.

    *** back in September 2008, SP's grandparents stated that she was born in Canada ***

    Do you realize how goofy you folks sound?

    Sarah's grandparents are dead. Sarah's parents have said she was born in Idaho. Her brother got treated in a Canadian hospital because it was better equipped to handle emergencies than the small clinic in Skagway where Chuck Heath had his first teaching job in Alaska.

    Get out a map, find Skagway and then find the Canadian border. Think.

  188. Palin knocks breastfeeding initiative

    Sarah Palin, who has made a frequent target of First Lady Michelle Obama, poked fun at her attempts to encourage breastfeeding in her Long Island appearance today.

    "No wonder Michelle Obama is telling everybody 'you'd better breastfeed your baby,'" Palin said, after suggesting that increases in prices for commodities and gasoline since 2009 are the consequence of her husband's policies. "Yeah, you'd better, because the price of milk is so high right now."

    Obama supported including breast pumps under a tax exemption that covers medical equipment. Rep. Michele Bachmann has also criticized the push as a feature of the "nanny state."
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    From a 2007 news release (via nexis):

    Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, has issued the following proclamation:

    WHEREAS, breastfeeding is recognized as an unequalled means of providing food for infants.

    WHEREAS, throughout their lives, breastfeeding can offer children protection against serious health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Breastfeeding also saves lives by reducing the incidence of life-threatening cancers in women and preventing premature death in infants.

    WHEREAS, breastfeeding forms the most basic bond between mother and baby and is a foundation for lifelong health and wellness.

    WHEREAS, government and community organizations have a vested interest in protecting and promoting breastfeeding as a means of preventing infant malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality.

    WHEREAS, during October, organizations throughout our state will promote the importance of breastfeeding. This year, in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week - October 1 through October 7 - the State of Alaska will support networks that encourage and promote breastfeeding in all communities.

    NOW, THEREFORE, I, Sarah Palin, Governor of the State of Alaska, do hereby proclaim October 2007 as:

    Breastfeeding Awareness Month

    in Alaska, and encourage all residents to recognize and support the important contributions breastfeeding makes in improving the quality of life for all Alaskans.

    Our constitution is based on democracy not capitalism and we all know that the "trickle down" rhetoric doesn't work!

    I like how no one mentions that two wars put us into debt. The first thing every politican seems to want to cut is entitlements for the less fortunate not corporate subsides (aka welfare for the rich)....

    @3:14 - ooh, must be something to the Canadian Sarah meme. The troll has started threatening that we "look goofy." Look in the mirror, Sarah supporter! Go work at Disney World!

  191. The breastfeeding comment was a lame attempt at humor and an opportunity to swipe at Mrs. Obama. Sarah has made a big deal about breatfeeding her kids. She even claimed to nurse TriG despite wearing thin blouses rather than nursing clothes like pullover sweaters that hide leaks and can be raised. But if fosters a new LAP--LaLeche Against Palin--so be it (as Boehner would say).

    Hey Gryphem, in the Politico article she mentioned she hired the Chief of Staff "because Todd was getting tired of doing it"

    Are her and Todd still together?

  193. WOW -- she seemed to get in most of her 'talking points' just in that first(2 min.)clip -- and ALL in ONE SENTENCE!!

    At least that is what it sounded like to me, and I do not want to go back to listen again, to make sure. LOL

    Thanks for everything, Gryph. Appreciate all you do, and appreciate you also (too, besides, as well). :o)

    "She touched on the threat of a government shutdown if the debt ceiling isn't raised by praising lawmakers who refuse to rubber-stamp the president's proposals."

    I wonder if the Republicans realize that if they close down government, and or fire government employees that will make 2M+ disgruntled Civil Servants free to do things like join protests in Wi?

    She makes it sound as if all she has to do is decide to be president and it'll be. What a megalomaniac, and bizarre sense of entitlement she has. I hope she runs and is made mincemeat of long before Obama has to be the one to do so. Either way I look forward to the day when she's no longer around.

    And WTH is up with her leatherwear? Does she really think looking like a phony Botoced librarian dominatrix really appeal to that broad of an audience? Sarah, if you or your evil spawn are reading this, you look "hard." And not in a good way.

    Am I mistaken or didn't she claim to be breastfeeding Trig? Even had a breast pump and everything?

    And breast pumps are available for free through WIC programs. Of course, they're usually a piece of crap.

    I'm sick of $arah Palin blaming the "liberal media" for people not liking her. She is so arrogant and delusional. We've seen the real Palin. We know the real $arah Palin through her ignorant twittering, her ghost-written books, and hateful Facebook rants, her live appearances on Faux News, and of course her ridicuous t.v. show. After all that, America still doesn't like you, bitch!

    2:50 PM,

    Yes, it is too late to repair her image, and her sagging poll numbers. But, she will never tone it down. Ms. "Blood Libel" can't help herself. Just wait until the primaries.

    "... who she would back if she doesn't run."

    “I don’t have a name to give you right now, but what I would look for in character is someone who’s been on the front lines understanding how to administer and how to lead a team...."

    1) "... I don’t have a name to give you right now..." WTF? Is Palin telling America that no one in the GOP or not one Teabagger is qualified to be president? This may be the first time I agree with Palin.

    "... I don’t have a name to give you right now..."
    Oh shit, Palin went against Ronald Reagan's beliefs and is talking bad about Republicans.

    2)"...I would look for in character is someone who’s been on the front lines understanding how to administer and how to lead a team....". Okay, I guess Sarah Palin just ruled herself out of the POTUS race. Anybody who would pick Todd Palin to be in charge of SarahPac is ignorant and not qualified to be POTUS. What Sarah is telling America is that she does not know what it takes to run a team - an organization if she thinks a 14 ft fence builder is qualied to run SarahPac. Todd was on SarahPac's payroll to launder money those dumbass teabaggers gave to SarahPac and now Sarah has Bristol in on the action. Next year we will probably see Willow getting a check from SarahPac.
