CNN

Palin apparently has forgotten that MILLIONS of us saw that she didn't even know the role of the V.P., any Supreme Court decisions, or answers to questions about her running mate's policies. Why in world would we NOW believe that she knows that Africa is a continent? She's a simpleton redneck bush babe who really knows nothing more than how to kill innocent animals!! Sorry, Sarah, your "career" as a politician is at an end due to your own lack of intellect.

Tit for tat for poor girl Sarah.You get back what you give to Obama.Palling around with terrorist,socialist, now republicans are opening your clothes, they are taking back wardobe poor Sarah don't understood the politics. Please don't be a crybaby in the face of adversity. You're messing up Obama's character, think about your rotten future.

Hey turkeykiller38:

Then go ahead and vore for her in 2012 – she's running. She started running when it was obvious McCain was losing and she threw him under the bus!

Hey Sarah, just run in 2012 and buckle up for the grief you'll get – from the GOP!!!

Sara did no wrong.. Sara takes no blame, it's all the media's fault.. Ha Ha Ha

CNN puts controls free speech: they refuse to publish my post still in moderation after 4 hours! Well, so much for your "free speech" rhetoric CNN.

The McCain camp’s cowardly attacks on her (not Christian even though she did the same vile false attacking upon others) are to deflect attention away from the responsibility for his loss which was caused by McCain’s own cowardly words and actions throughout the campaign. He chose her not because he wanted to put his “country first” but for expediency, to win at all costs. In the end, he used the same unscrupulous tactics of lies and innuendo in his campaign that were used by Bush against him in the past. He even hired to run his campaign the very people who had attacked his family and his personal character when they worked for Bush. When he decided to get into bed with the devil, he invited all hell to break loose. I have no respect for him at all because of this.

Now she's more irrelevant than ever, yet our fabulous "media" continues to give her coverage. She's a human tumor.

That's what happens when you pal around with terrorists, Sarah – they attack you. Now get out of our face.

WE HERE IN THE SOUTH BEING MINORITY AND EXPERIENCING THE
"REDNECK SYNDROME" DON'T HAVE ONE OUNCE OF FEELINGS FOR THIS LADY. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO SEE SO MANY IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DID NOT SEE THROUGH THIS SHELL OF A FAKE POLITICIAN. HER WHOLE MEANING OF LIFE IS CENTER ON DIVISION. NOW MCCAIN AND THE REST THAT WAS INVOLVED IN HIS RUN FOR #1 ARE EXPERIENCING WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SINCE OUR FRIST DOCKING OF THESE SHORES AS SLAVES. PEOPLE (REDNECKS) LIKE HER HAVE NO SENSE OF WHAT ARE THE GREATER "GOODS" FOR "WE THE ENTIRE PEOPLE". THE ONLY THINGS WE FEEL SORRY FOR NOW THAT THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY REMOTE POSSIBILITIES OF HER IMPACT ON OUR LIVES ARE THE MOOSE, ELK AND OTHER ANIMALS IN HER STATE' WE HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL TELL HER THAT "WORDS" DO MATTER.

SO tired of hearing Sarah Palin was NOT ready to be VP......
Listen, she is the Govenor of Alaska, I know what "some" are saying, but really just listen to what you are saying.......
Sarah Palin has no experience, Barack Obama does.
First, that is a sentence that your English teacher would say is wrong.
Second, Sarah Palin is the Governor of a State.
Third, Alaska is a State whether you are aware of it or not, ok it might be cold there, but, it is still a State.

It's that type of thinking the reason the majority of Americans voted the republicans out.

Sarah Palin whines about being taken 'out of context' Her lies about Obama were never taken out of context. If it walks like a duck etc;
John McCain is the defacto leader of the Republicam Party and it was on his say so who should be VP. Not the Republican inner circle. They advise but it was his final decision to pick her to rally the right wing.

I just love the way she accuses the rest of America for not giving rights to women like they do in Alaska. If shooting animals from a helicopter with an AK47 is her interpretation of equal rights then she can keep it.

Terrible woman

It's not meanspirited when they are telling the truth... which is more than we can say for Sarah. It's not the media who opened their mouth and said stupid things. McCain may have picked her but she wasn't even smart enough to know when to say "Thanks, but no thanks..."

Bah bye diva...

If Ms. Palin was treated by badly by MCCain staff that is ufornate. I am very glad the truth about her lack of knoweldge adn curiosity has been made public. No one regardless of party, sex or color this uninformed and should be a heart beat from the presidency. Shame on John MCain AND the anti intellectual constiuency she was selected to attract.

Does this woman ever take responsibility for anything? Everything she does or says wrong is someone else's fault. Actually I don't really care. I'm sick to death of seeing her and hearing her whiny, annoying voice. I wish the media would leave her alone so that she goes away and we never hear or see her again and we can all pretend she was just a bad, bad dream *deep breath*.

This is officially my last post regarding this woman.

Were these allegations true or not?
Rather than attacking the messenger, it makes sense to discuss whether these comments are true. If they are, attacking the messenger is a pathetic attempt to deflect deserved criticism. If the comments are untrue, they should be dismissed as a fabrication.
Based upon the behavior of Palin, it sure seems that these comments are true.

Look at all the angry messages everyone is typing. Obama supporters are really uniting the world one insult at a time. haha

I think everyone on here needs to get a life and move on. She isn't your Vice President elect, you don't have to worry about her anymore.

If McCain haed wosn the presidency, they would be praising her!!! She helped his campaign and made him (McCain) more interesting. I think he should be defending her. He picked her!!!! If they (Republicans) didn't agree with anything Palin was doing, it should have been noted sooner!!!

poor palin..now has to defend herself from the very same people who brought her...all the truth coming out now...

by the way..did she return the clothes??

God bless Alaska! Palin is a real test to you guys. Americans can survive Bush's poor administration. You guys can also survive Palin's governing, as long as she promises not to take any phone call from Canada in the future.

Palin's belief that Africa is a country was taken out of context? I wonder if there is any context that thinking Africa is a country can rationally fit?

She was such an idot, but her ego was infinite. That was the only thing I felt sorry for her. The more she defends herself , the more I believe she deserves whatever she have got. So please keep quiet, that is the best thing she can do. I can never imagine that a politician can not take any criticism. Grow up and first learn how to take criticism.

She is very attractive when she is quiet. But when she starts to speak, I feel that she is just a stupid, arrogant, hatred mad dog. It is really hard for me to imagine that she is a good christian as she claims herself to be. To me, she is a super fake person.

Sarah, you reap what you sow. Now go away.

Sarah sweetheart, you reap what you sow. Isn't that from the bible?

Chasing Wolves by airplane until they can't run anymore then pumping 30-0 6 bullets into them is cruel and cowardly too. There are only a few thousand wolves left in Alaska. They deserve their natural life. The argument by hunters that they get too many moose is a bogus lie. Mostly, it's just an activity by those that like to get off by killing something that can't fight back. Palin is an uneducated phony. I'm 1/4 American Indian and have made 15 trips to Alaska , from Kodiak to the Brooks range'
Misha.

The criticism of her intelligence would be a little more impressive if anyone on this blog could spell.

Please stop talking about Sarah Palin. I never want to hear her name again. Ever.

Folks, stop drinking the Kool-Aid already!

I am glad she went back to Alaska, preaching hate and separation
She was setting women rights 40 years back; we have enough airheads on TV. We should never compare her to Hillary and any other intellectual women it is not against the feminist movement. It is about narrow-minded people who do not belong to our time and especially to our government

Poor Cinderilla from Wasilla!!! If the shoe fits...

As for LEAVING HER ALONE... IT'S HER OWN REPUBLICAN PEOPLE ATTACKIING HER!! AND AS LONG AS THEY KEEP ATTACKING HER FOR BEING STOOPID... I'M GOING TO KEEP LAUGHING AT HOW STOOPID THEY KEEP SAYING SHE IS!!!

And if she can't take the heat... she needs to stay out of the kitchen. It's not safe out in the world of politics down here in the lower 48 states. People fight back and you don't get elected for being corrupt like you do up in Alaska!! If she wants to compete down here in the lower 48 states... she better get used to getting it back as good as she gives it, and she gave it REAL good during the campaign.

What goes around comes around Ms. Palin... and you are DUE your share of what is coming to you!!!

It's OK to make allegations about someone else, take things out of context and ignore what doesn't fit your agenda, but it's unfair, mean-spirited and wrong for those "jerks" to take something YOU said out of context? Right.

After perpetrating the biggest fraud on the American people since Bush's first term, it's good to see that somebody is willing to come clean.

The mudslide continues.

Don’t you get tired of Palin’s double standards? When she took Mr. Obama’s or Mr. Biden’s comments out of context or misrepresented them, it was fine, but when someone allegedly took her comments out of context, they were “immature”, “unprofessional”, “jerks”. It was okay for her to be mean-spirited, but when she gets treated the same way, she squeals like a pig – with lipstick.

Pat – "Sarah Palin was the true hero of this election — she said what most of us felt but were too cowardly to acknowledge."

Are you joking? I REALLY REALLY REALLY do not think that "most of us" feel some books should be outlawed, that humans are doing nothing to harm the earth, that polar bears should be taken off the endangered species list, that abortion even in cases of rape and/or incest should be illegal, that only abstinence and creationism should be taught in public schools, that anyone who messes with her family should be fired from their job, etc. etc. etc.

Open your eyes.

Jeez, what is WITH people these days?! You're such a disappointment to the entire human race.

Disappointed in Americans wrote on November 7th, 2008 10:00 pm ET: Sore losers! Obama= not MY President

I think you meant to say "I am such a sore loser!". If Obama is not your President, what are you doing here? Pack your bags and move out of the country! Good riddance.

Dont give up palin, fight back and bring whole repulican party down. we Obama supporters are with you.

Good Luck.

Love watching these people go at each other. Can you imagine if they had won?
Sarah is a Bimbo and McCain has lost all respect I had for him (which at a time, was a great deal).

Why are you still talking about Sarah Palin?! Move on people! Leave her now in peace. Imagine if it was you in her shoes, what would you do?

I'm pro-Obama myself and I hated everything Sarah Palin said in their rallies. But, you know what? She didn't come up with those speeches herself. Those were not her policies. Those were of the Republicans headed by John McCain and his advisors. Palin was just their "puppet".

So, get over it! She had nothing to do with all of it except to show up and talk, kinda like a prerecorded "robot".

I guess that some republicans tried to use the media to squeeze Palin out of the GOP contest in 2012. That's how these negative news, although factual, came to the spotlight.

I am no fan of Palin, except that I was glad McCain picked her- It was one of several things he did to help Obama! The McCain people said they had vetted her, so if she was not up to the job, that is their fault. She was obviously poorly managed, also their fault! The whole clothes thing should have been handled better by the McCain staff and they failed! See a pattern here? The fact that they don't have the balls to use their names confirms that not only are they just trying to dodge the blame for a poorly managed campaign, but they are lying to avoid the blame. Notice that you don't hear the Obama campaign (or any winners) pointing blame! Only the losers that mismanaged and screwed up their campaigns!!

What goes around comes around and we reap what we sow.

EXACTLY catmom!

There have also been reports of a somewhat distant relationship between McCain and his running mate.

Take a back seat first dude.

I am glad she went back to Alaska, preaching hate and separation
She was setting back women rights 40 years back.
We should never compare her to Hillary and any other intellectual women.

Well, in the recent prank call involving Governor Palin, she clearly showed that she had no idea about who is the current Canadian Prime Minister, where she could easily see from her house. She had no idea about any leader of other friendly nations. This is factual. Actually, Senator McCain lost his election because of two persons, Bush and Palin. No doubt about it.

Leave the woman alone already!

Sarah please put some shoes on Trig. It's horrible the way you carry him around like a sack of potatoes with no shoes on.

looks like it was okay for Palin to spit out garbage from her mouth but not when it was thrown to her. Welcome to reality....what goes around comes around...

Oh Tom in Delaware, Sean Hannity is never right silly! What are you smoking man? You really should share.

Can't take the heat? Stay in Alaska.

In an interview Mrs. Palin was asked, "What would your responsibilities be if you are elected Vice President?"

Her answer, "I would run the senate. I can hardly wait to go down there and talk about the issues." In a couple of sentences she showed the world she has no understanding of the Constitutionally provided for Separation of powers. This interview took place six weeks after she had been tapped as the vice presidential candidate. Evidently she lacked the intellectual curiosity to ask anyone what the vice president does. Scary? You Betcha!

"These guys"....Really? Is that the best you got. Sure, she is attractive but you would not have to have a very long dinner conversation to see she is not so bright and it would not take long to see she is extremely petty.

Get real! She was mean-spirited from the convention on. She lied and lied and lied at every stop, knowing that Obama and Biden probably would not call her on it because they would have been "sexist". Now, that all of the lies have been exposed, now that her own party has turned against her, she wants to pretend she is on some high road. She damaged herself. If the Republicans learn anything from 2006 and 2008, it better be that they should run on the issues that matter to the voters. Not the issues that the extreme right thinks is important.

You betcha.

Please stop talking about her, writing about her or even caring about her. This side show is over. Let's move on to more important things.

I'm no Sarah Palin fan, but anonymous attacks ARE cruel and cowardly. The same people who vetted her and helped pick her are now throwing her under the bus. If you had done your job properly, you'd have known that she was NOT VP material.

My grandfather was a mayor when I was young. When I asked what that meant, he said, "Nothing. Being a small-town mayor is an honorary position."

1. If Sarah Palin was made available to the media before the election perhaps people would have a different view of her.
2. I'm tired of hearing the pit bull with lipstick whining about the media and the treatment she received. She herself told Hillary Clinton to toughen up, she should take her own advice
3. Sarah Palin came out blazing and attacking Obama repeating rumors and innuendo. She was very partisan and divisive. You reap what you sow.

Maybe if Sarah Palin wasn't such a self-important biddy who wants to run a FREE country based on her own agenda and religious beliefs, no one would talk smack about her. But that probably didn't occur to her pea-brained self.

I too will try again......I agree with Joyce. Palin is the governer of a state, even if it is Alaska and not one of the obviously superior "lower 48". She is not an idiot, a know-nothing, a barbie, blah blah blah ad nauseum. So all you armchair governors and other wise pundits, get out of your easy chairs and off your computers and at least run for city council, or mayor, or something. Sitting here spewing arrogant sarcasm against the Alaska governer from the anonymous comfort of your little dens might make you feel self-righteous but it does absolutely nothing to start moving this country in the right direction, now does it?
Oh – better take a dictionary. Half these spiteful bloggers can't spell, either.

Will you folks in the media please stop sticking a mic in front of Palin?
I have heard her garbled dribble until I can't take it any more.

I don't like her, never did. That being said... she is quite sharp, if poorly informed and intellectually lazy. There is nothing contradictory about those 2 things in today's America, a sad, sad truth. Now George Bush on the other hand, was just plain stupid but shrewd.

I hate Sarah Palin. She is hypocritical in the most ridiculous and laughable way. She is ignorant. She is a disgraceful human being. I hope she freezes to death back in Alaska.

Why did Sarah 'The Hockey Mom' Palin show up at John McCain's concession speech in a $498 Elie Tahari suit, incidentally sold at Neiman Marcus? Did she forget to return it with the other clothes, wanted a souvenir or is it just the Diva in her.

Maybe this doesn't even belong here. But I found it interesting that Alaska , our largest state, had half the people of Rhode Island, our smallest state vote in this election.

The same people that elected Sarah Palin governor also reelected Ted Stevens, a convicted felon. Now I'm not saying this tells us something about their intelligence. Oh heck, yes I am!

After Senator Ted is impeached or expelled from the senate Governor Palin will appoint herself the new Senator. The drama continues. God, I love this country!

Thank God for Katie Couric, Charles Gibson,Tina Fey, media, internet and others

I'm not sure why Obama is being attacked when it comes to Sarah Palin. These comments are not coming from the Obama camp, they are coming from McCain's camp. I think it is a shame that they all are using her as a scapegoat for all of this. You have John McCain to think for putting her on the ticket. This just goes to show what his judgement would have been like had he won the election. All in all, I wish they would stop attacking her and try to come together as a party. Get over it and better luck next time.

Obama/Biden 08

Sarah learned a few words "Taken out of Context" but didn't explain what was taken out of context because she couldn't remember is Africa the correct answer about neither even after the media has reported the correct answer all day long.... Guess she doesn't look at television either.. We already know she doest read.... What a complete airhead she is!

Guess this will stay in "moderation" too!

Palin will say anything to deflect the blame. Face it lady It was your fault. Campbell-Brown has suggested it was the Republic Inner circle who foisted her on John McCain. This is not true since McCain, as the defacto leader of the Republicans, chose her over Mit Romney. If the Republican party chooses her to run in 2012 then they will lose.

Please Sarah stop whining about how its not your fault. If you were any kind of woman then you except your responsibility instead of pointing out how much better Alaska is compared to the rest of the country. How would you know anyway since you've never been anywhere.

In my opinion your nothing but a fool. I can prove you are as well. Here's my question to you... Please explain where fossils come from.

any democrat who voted for Sarah Palin needs to have their head examined...

There it is... the future of the conservative Republican party. Wh ydo I suspect Democrats will control government for the next 20 years or so?

Demo4Palin November 7th, 2008 11:08 pm ET

I'm a lifelong Democrat and I voted for Sarah Palin. Not John McCain, Sarah Palin. And if you don't like it… Tough. I did it because I felt it was the right thing to do under the circumstances.

***************************************************************

And I voted for Obama because I felt it was the right thing to do under the circumstances and I say to hell with anyone who disagrees with me and MY opinion.

After all, that is our right isn't it! See I won't bash ANYONE for who they vote for, I only "don't like it" when people bash others for who they vote for. BTW my sister voted for McCain because of Palin, I didn't agree with her, but I didn't attack her either.

It's Friday people, can't we have some fun!

Hey Randy, I am sure you had no problem with your idol Sad Sarah belittling people during her convention speech and out on the trail did you? It really bugs you that someone in the military could vote for a democrat doesn't it? After 8 years of Bush and his strong attempt to destroy this country and shread the Constitution I will never vote GOP! I fought so you can have your say......and so can I! Don't question me or my patriotism!

Sarah Palin was the true hero of this election - she said what most of us felt but were too cowardly to acknowledge.

Governor Palin - YOU ARE A GREAT AND REMARKABLE WOMAN!

God bless you and your wonderful family - especially little Trig – to whom you decided to give LIFE - not DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There Mavericks, what do you expect. LOL

I think the media treated her unfairly, just like they did Hillary Clinton.

Why are Oprah, Larry King and others dying to get Palin on their show? Because she IS big news. She did more to excite the Republican base than any other candidate would have. The problem was that she was upstaging McCain, and McCain's inner circle didn't like it. Again, a male-dominated group going up against a strong female. She knew how to run a successful campaign. Unfortunately, she was never given the chance to be a partner in the McCain election. It was evident that Obama and Biden were partners in the election. It was not evident with McCain-Palin. So, by putting Palin "in her place" they lost the election. McCain only lost by about 500,000 votes – if about 500,000 people had switched their votes in Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana and Florida, we would talking about a McCain presidency.

If you can't stand the heat, don't come into the kitchen! Does she really not understand what politics is about? Just another example of her inability to understand things. Simply put, she is not ready for the Major Leagues.

Everytime I read unsubstantiated rubbish like this, I remember that it was the National Enquirer that scooped the entire MSM about the John Edwards case....of course, my old High School newspaper could have scooped the MSM, because they were doing everything in their power to suppress the truth about any wrongdoings by the Democrats by printing hearsay and gossip about the Republicans.

Sean Hannity was right....2008 is the year journalism died.

Palin sounds like she's speaking pidgin English. How the woman got a journalism degree, much less a run at the vice presidency, is beyond me.

I acquired American citizenship a year ago and know more about this country's government than she does. Shameful.

Sarah Palin is commenting unprofessionally about all of this. She just digs her "hole" deeper. And yes, she wasn't a knowledgeable politician. Yes, she ran a hater and fear mongering campaign.

Please just let her stay in Alaska!! The lady is truly evil!!! And she enjoyed creating a dangerous atmosphere. Tell her to be quiet – she wasn't ready. She also says news media are "bad apples" because they were too hard on her. News – she deserved alot of criticism!! Good for news media. Appears your first amendment rights are protected!! And Sarah is now planting her inexperience firmly in everyone's mind.

None of this would matter if Palin wasn't as dumb as a bag of hammers in the first place. Face it – She is a CLUELESS BIMBO!

Joyce November 7th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

I don't expect this to be run on this blog either – but I'll try again. So many people mad at Sarah Palin for daring to point out flaws in Obama – how dare she! How did anyone expect the Republicans to point out what many believe valid questions about Obama's relationships, policies, etc. The press certainly would not print anything negative. These same people are so vile. I wonder how many of you who call her stupid actually have a college degree? Been Mayor of a city? Govenor of a State? And Obama? One of his first remarks about her was that McCain had a running mate who used to be Mayor of a small city. He forgot to mention she was currently a govenor!

**********************************************************************

I have a college degree and I think she's ignorant as hell. And oh no, he called her a mayor of a small town, the horror. Let's see, what nasty, vile and untrue things did she call him?

I wonder if she has ever considered that lying about a Presidential candidate was "unfair" or "cruel" or "cowardly".

I doubt it, that requires a brain and a conscience.

Xavier – So, exactly what could anyone say about Obama that you would not consider " stroking the fires of racist people"? We all knew that anything negative brought out against Obama would be considered racist remarks. I personally have not met one person who ever talked about his race – we were more concerned about his policies. I am very concerned about the direction he will lead this country. Amazing at the "code words" people have turned around to mean racist. Where was the outrage by democrats or African Americans for the "Uncle Tom" remarks made against Colin Powell a few years ago. None – since Mr. Powell was a Republican.

I'm a lifelong Democrat and I voted for Sarah Palin. Not John McCain, Sarah Palin. And if you don't like it… Tough. I did it because I felt it was the right thing to do under the circumstances.

She's kidding right ???

If you listen to her complaints and then apply them to what she said on the campaign trail about Obama ... what's the difference???

Palin knowingly repeatedly lied about Obama on things she HAD TO KNOW were false.

I have ZERO sympathy for her .... ZERO !

McNeil River, Katmai, Denali, Chilcoot Trail, Atka etc. etc. have hypnotically drawn me to the Land of the Midnight Sun for many years. Governor Palin, somehow Alaska will never be the same. You have done your state a great injustice.

Cathy, Peoria AZ November 7th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

Iowa Mom, the only person who did this to Sarah Palin was Sarah Palin. She knew she was not ready for this and could have said no.
She is not geniune, defintely not articulate and I believe knows more about how to be a Washington insider than you give her credit for.
The GOP needs to looks to the Tim Pawlenty's and Bobby Jindahl's of their party for leadership and potential bipartinship. There is where the future of the GOP lies NOT Sarah Palin.
My guess is there is more truth than fiction from the McCain campagin staff about Gov Palin's ability. I would suggest she stay in Alaska and continue being Governor until the good citizens replace her!

*********************************************************************

Oh, I so agree with you!! It was never McCain I disliked it was her. But the point I was trying to make is honestly, I want us all to try and work together to make this nation great. I guess sometimes after listening to so much hate, my message gets a little lost. ;o)

I hate Palin.
I hate everything she stands for.
I hope she never comes back.

But...

this is ain't cool.

after all she did for the Mccain ticket
after she energized the Republican base

The Repugblican'ts are throwing her under the bus
if Mccain is the "Maverick" he claims he should stand up for her.

woman have a way of putting there own failing upon men and i m sorry it time for this world to reach down into there own souls and remember your respocable for your actions
given time she may find some native intelegent but not now there was two much at stake this time around and as much as she would like to think shes reeadty she was grossly undersuted for the job of being vp

I truly believe that those McCain aides are telling the truth about Palin.

Like the majority of America, they had enough of her diva behavior and her tantrums and her complete lack of disrespect, and I guess they wanted to get back at Palin for what she did to them throughout the campaign. Yes, it certainly was very immature on their part. But why else would they bring these accusations to light? What would be their motive in doing so? To make themselves look even worse than they already look? McCain's aides are not stupid! I'm sure they know that they look like a bunch of fools after running such a horrible campaign, and I'm sure they take full responsiblity for McCain's loss due to their severe lack of judgement.

Why isn't McCain sticking up for her? Seriously, if he truly cared for her and believed that she was a good, smart person, he would defend her. I guess we will see what McCain has to say in time. However, I'm sure he's quietly at home hanging his head in shame, going over the things he could have done to get elected. I'm sure he has many regrets.

As if the Republican Party needed any more slams. This lady is a brilliant person and politician. McCain's campaign staff were so incompetent that they had to find a scapegoat for their miserable failings. If the RNC doesn't step in and stanch these lies and low life dealings, it'll be another 50 years before they come to power. I just hope Sarah Palin goes on to have a successful political career, as she deserves and we can only wish her good luck.

Sue in MI November 7th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

So I guess her attacks on Obama were "cruel" and "cowardly" too ?

So fox news and these right wing radio station she seems to be in love with are not part of the stinkers ?

I also hope that President Elect Obama is not considering working on securing energy independence for America or anything else with this women. Over 60 million Americans voted for OBAMA he had an electoral college landslide I think the people of this country has spoken. But the GOP still doesnt seem to get it.

If you dress an ignorant pig at Neiman Marcus it is still an ignorant pig?

AH SHUT UP....

Liberal media, sexism, and on and on... always an excuse and someone else to blame.

The boob was not qualified, can't put 2 sentences together, and lies and whines.

BOOB!

Now the shoe is on the other foot. Palin really dished it out in true pit bull fashion against Barack. Whether it was in context or out, true or false she was relentless. But when it is done to her, she whines. Barack never attacked her, he always went after McCain. But she did not even congratulate her President on his victory. Barack is truly a strong leader and the right man for the job. Mc Cain could not handle all of that pressure. He would have become unglued. The Republicans used devisiveness as their tool during the whole campaign and were not smart enough to see that it did not work. It just made Barack stronger. CNN probably won't print this because they are upset about the Obama victory.

VETS4Obama, being military myself, I really wish you would use another username if you are going to belittle people on this site.

"mean spirited and cruel"..The lady doth protest too much me thinketh.
Alas race bating is somehow not cruel and mean spirited but calling someone on their ignorance is?
grow up.

I don't expect this to be run on this blog either – but I'll try again. So many people mad at Sarah Palin for daring to point out flaws in Obama – how dare she! How did anyone expect the Republicans to point out what many believe valid questions about Obama's relationships, policies, etc. The press certainly would not print anything negative. These same people are so vile. I wonder how many of you who call her stupid actually have a college degree? Been Mayor of a city? Govenor of a State? And Obama? One of his first remarks about her was that McCain had a running mate who used to be Mayor of a small city. He forgot to mention she was currently a govenor!

I really think it's childish of the McCain aides trying to paint her as so ignorant now. The American people (well most of us) already knew she's not all that book smart. I'd rather read about the first dog compared to Sarah Palin stories. Buh-bye Palin. Buh-bye now.

I see America is at its BEST AGAIN!

Everytime a woman enters the political arena the immature male population has to PUT HER IN HER PLACE!

Gee, it must be great to have ALL THE POWER and be AFRAID that a WOMAN will take it away from you and reveal the fact that you are simply power hungry morons...

She's a complete idiot!

SARAH I HAVE NOT RESPECT FOR YOU...GO BACK TO ALASKA. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW....YOU ARE A SHAMELESS WOMAN. GROW UP!

You must be right Sue in MI. Obama is going to bring the troops home, sometime after fixing the economy right? Cause that's 1st on his list of things to do right now. So, once he fixes the economy somewhere in his 1st term...maybe second as he has said, then he's going to fix Iraq and Afghanstan? What exactly are his plans for troop withdraw? He never talked about it during all these speeches, but he sure did talk about saving 10 billion a month. Maybe he can just stop funding them? Wouldn't be the first time a President hung troops out left to dry on foreign soil.

You know, I really hope my gut feeling about Obama is wrong. He promised a heck of a lot of stuff while running for President, lets see how much he can keep without destroying the US while he's at it.

Well, Ms. Palin as the saying goes "you reap what you sow". You sowed heaps of words of discord and racial incitement into your rallies and didn't think twice about it. You can dish it out heavy but when it turns on you and it's your turn, you now want to cry foul. Sorry, dear, you started it. The evilness and vile comments that proceeded out of your mouth with a bit of a smile and a wink made you despicable. But as you can see, it didn't work. The American people spoke loud and clear. We didn't like it and we made sure you and McCain wasn't going to bring that type of behavior and rhetoric into our White House. Only integral people did we want in the WH. Obama remained cool, calm, and collected under all of those attacks and the American people backed him all the way and that's why he is our POTUS.

And I thought all you people on here were just angry, ignorant Democrats. Now I find out you're all former McCain staffers! Makes so much sense now...

Who cares...This woman is damm!!!
Hey Sarah
I can see airport from my apartment window.
Can I be a pilot??????1

One word: Kharma.

"It's mean-spirited. It's immature. It's unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away with it, taking things out of context, and then tried to spread something on national news."

Hmm, how's it feel Sarah? I mean, isn't that what you had done with Obama throughout your campaign? Just go back to Alaska, apparently they like you there, and good riddance. On second thought, please continue the speculation about wheter or not you'll run in 2012, that'll gaurantee the Democrats hold the Presidency for years to come if the Repubs want to use you as their poster child.

The attacks ARE cowardly because the sources are unnamed. But the real story here is Governor Sarah Palin is NOT qualified on an intellectual level to be V.P. and heaven forbid if she would have (by some quirk of fate) become the President !!!
The FACT that Senator McCain selected her shows he DID NOT vet her properly and HE is responsible for ALL of this!! This WAS NOT a Country First decision on his part. It was more like a ROLL of the DICE (his favorite gambling game).
We NEED very intelligent , well rounded, individuals running our government. Frankly, objectively, at this time she does not qualify!!

VETS4Obama November 7th, 2008 10:13 pm ET

This little piggy went to market…Everytime Caribou Barbie opens her mouth more ignorance, hate come out!

______________________________________

The words reflection, ironic, and hypocricy come to mind.

Joyce,
Palin's rhetoric brought out the racist nature of some of her supporters. All you have to do is go on you tube and listen to the rhetoric that was being said by these people. What does it say about you as a person when you know that you are stroking the fires of racist speople for the sake of getting them to vote for you? How is this different from one selling his or her soul to the devil for the gaining of power? Does the end justify the means if it brings out racial views from those ignorant enough to judge people by virtue of the color of their skin? Palin knew what she was doing, as did the rest of the GOP leadership. The fact that it didnt work speak volumes of how far we have come as a country in regards to race.

It's politics as usual... I wouldn't blame her if she said to h*ll with these morons and went back to Alaska for good. Then again, that would make most of the CNN Ticker posters happy (temporarily).

Just some friendly advice... save some of your ammo. You might need it.

Hey 3 strikes...why don't you move to Alaska? I ams ure Sarah has an igloo for you too! Its a shame you are so twisted and hate filled!

Texas Trail Dog! November 7th, 2008 10:08 pm ET

Sorry Sarah. but what else can you expect out of a OBAMA ran media nothing but moron crap.

This stuff is coming from her own campaign. Now who's the moron?

You think that was unfair Barracuda Barbie? What do you call the hate and lies you spewed from your vile mouth. What goes around comes around. You were used and dished like an old dish rag. Get over it. McCain was an honorable man and he let his people turn his campaign negative and that includes you so take your bitter medicine and stay up there in the frozen tundra. You can come back after you learn to treat people with dignity and respect.

Wahhh. Her treatment is so unfair. Kind of like "Obama is paling around with terrorists". But honestly, I do feel sorry for her. For anyone to even suggest such a bizarre, paranoid statement, they must suffer from some sort of mental deficiency. As the statement goes, do unto others as you would have them do to you.

Sarah,
Even if these horrifying allegations are not true, you still proved you are incompetent. There was no "country first" in your choice to accept the nomination. You've brought this onto yourself.
So please, just stay away, forever.

Well said End of an Error!

Leo November 7th, 2008 9:26 pm ET

Someone tell me why the hatred of this woman is so intense. I found her genuine, articulate and a Washington outsider. You liberal haters that continue to spew your hatred is ponderous. Can't you see that the liberal media has painted this picture of Sarah Palin. Stop drinking the kool-aid liberals and wake up. We are entering a new era that needs are support. BI- PARTISAN

Practice what you preach, why dontcha?

And seriously, jerks? Are we 9 now? Say unprofessional, cruel, or even mean-spirited. Jerk is something a fifth grader says, not a president wanna-be.

Texas Trail DOg,
The lady is a moron. Defending her is an insult to all those women that should have been picked instead of her. A pretty face will get you only so far, in the end you gotta have a brain to back it up.

over 65 million voted for nobama, it just proves that one guys point, that over half of america is just a bunch of whiners and complainers, over 65 million people want the goverment to pamper and serve 'em on a silver platter, and those 65 million need to be checked into a psychological clinic because of suffering from idiocy. the false messiah has over 65 million lemmings. sickening, nauseating, disgusting.

Sadly, we have not seen the last of Sarah Palin or her McCarthy-esque spit-poison populist anti-intellectual hyper-ignorant arrogance.

Why are we still talking about her? Let her go back to Alaska and never be heard from again.

Leo November 7th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

Iowa Mom -

I'm not talking about your uneducated mind.being BIPARTISAN I am taling about Washington. Hope you are not too disappointed when the HOPE and CHANGE does not reveal itself…….

**********************************************************************

Uneducated??? Hmmm... what exactly is "taling" Oh, do you mean talking???

If she likes, Gov Palin can return in 2012 or 2016 to compete with other Republican candidates for president. She can dodge debate questions and the "got you" media probes, and see how far she would go.
My guess is that she is so intellectually deficient that I do not expect her to last through the first 3 months of the primaries.

I find it interesting that there are more men defending her than women. I also am glad that she is gone.

How fast do you think that oil pipeline from Alaska will be built now? What about drilling? Think Alaska will be quite so eager to participate in feeding the lower 48, now that they see how their women and children are treated?
Perhaps she will borrow a line from another famous politician, "Let them freeze in the dark."

I voted for Obama and I was never a fan of Palin, much less of McCain. As much as I believe she lacked basic knowledge for VP position, she undoubtedly inspired and re-energized the GOP base.

However, I do believe the republican strategists enclosed both McCain and Palin in this bubble where information about Obama was selectively leaked to them. It was almost surreal to watch them on the attack; it was as if they were completely detached from reality, reason, or rationality. Towards the end we could not even recognize the McCain we once knew.

What Palin did not realize, until she turned rogue and post-election day, was that she was playing with actual fire...and she did not feel its heat until it was turned on her by the very people who supplied it. In a moment of epiphany (soon hopefully) she will relate to Obama and see herself in his shoes....responding to smears, unsupported rumors, and anonymous leaks about her character.

Who Cares .... ?????

What she says or does

Please stop talking about her

She's nobody ... let it die

There are about 20 major US cities with a population bigger than all of Alaska. Good ole Wasilla has just 6200 people according to the Census Bureau. How does this qualify you to be second in cammand of the last super power on the planet?

If Mrs. Palin does want to run in 2012 (heaven forbid) she needs to see much more of the world than just looking at Russia out her "back wndow".

No offense, but America and the rest of the world is way more complicated than running a state of less than 675 000 people.

The treatment of Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton during this campain should outrage everyone. Clinton in my opinion should have had the nomination, putting that aside, the treatment of Clinton by her own party was deplorable. Sarah Palin has also been chastised by the Democrats and Republicans. These two woman deserve the respect from this country that they deserve... As a woman , I am saddened that Race was the topic of discussion during this campaign, and once again Womans treatment was pushed to the back burner. Like it didnt matter. This election has pushed the womans movement back 20 years... The young woman of this nation, You know who you are, Your the ones who voted for Obama and didnt bother to vote or research any of the amendments or candidates on the ballot, should maybe talk to a middle aged woman, maybe your mom. It took us a long time to get where we are in this country, you havent experienced our pain or suffering as woman. Thats good , in a way. The country should be demanding that Woman be treated with respect. Sara Palin and Hilary Clinton are feared in this country by both parties. The Good old boys are still calling the shots. Lets stop them!

Its amazing to me to read all the comments about the Witch from Wasilla from all the bright women out there! The bimbo does not even earn any respect from those in her own gender who seem to see her for what she really is better than the rest of us! Many smart women out there!! Hillary would have destroyed her!

Boy she SURE loved dishing out dirt and sheer lies about Obama, yet when her own team spills the beans on her obvious ineptnous and excesses, she suddenly cares about bitterness and cruelty. Thank HEAVENS America was spared her even being NEAR the White House. What a shallow and mean-spirited hypocrit!

Sarah Palin is a good example of the empty-headedness of American Conservatism. While there are a few George Wills and William F. Buckleys, there are a lot more people like Palin who have memorized a dozen buzz-phrases like "free market" and "family values" and they just talk. They do not understand how little they know and how much damage they have done to the nation.

I hope this gal is nominated by the Republicans in 2012 and maybe we can finally drive a stake through the heart of Conservatism.

Iowa Mom, the only person who did this to Sarah Palin was Sarah Palin. She knew she was not ready for this and could have said no.
She is not geniune, defintely not articulate and I believe knows more about how to be a Washington insider than you give her credit for.
The GOP needs to looks to the Tim Pawlenty's and Bobby Jindahl's of their party for leadership and potential bipartinship. There is where the future of the GOP lies NOT Sarah Palin.
My guess is there is more truth than fiction from the McCain campagin staff about Gov Palin's ability. I would suggest she stay in Alaska and continue being Governor until the good citizens replace her!

It is especially disturbing that Sarah Palin doesn't even understand why her candidacy was such a bad idea.

I think this side show has shown too many people what Sarah Palin is really like and how she turns on people when to her advantage. She won't be returning to such a big political stage for a while and she will have to work hard if she ever wants to. She will always be known as the person Tina Fey could impersonate perfectly as she was held up to the light and seen for what she was – a not so bright woman who thought comparing herself to a pit bull was some kind of compliment.

There is nothing attractive about a pit bull attacking anyone. Politics may be ruthless, but that isn't how it's done. The trick is to be intelligent and many moves ahead of an adversary. Not attacking and accusing them of, in this case, not being real Americans, of being muslim, and all the other spew and hate that Sarah Palin chose to regurgitate.

If Sarah Palin wants to see cruel and cowardly attacks, she should look at her own speeches in the last month or so.

Hey Steve the I.T. guy please get a clue! I am sure there is an igloo with your name on it in Alaska where you can go and worship your idol Sarah! Bush was a moron just like she is!

Wow, its truly amazing that John McCain didn't stand up for her.

She is the one who started by making a hate filled, smart mouthed convention speech. Then she hit the trail spewing hate and lies. She deserves EVERYTHING she gets! Welcome to the big leagues Sad Sarah! Shut your mouth and stop showing your ignorance and hate. Then and only then will the nightmare of your potential election to high office fade away!

I bet McCain is sitting back because he's fed up with her too. I bet he cussed her for everything she was worth on Tuesday night...that little exchange took, oh, all of a second

Sarah Palin is saying "not fair" to all the negataive comments about her since the McCain campaign . There is a saying in politics, "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen". I think that her reaction shows that she is not ready for a political office, much less V.P. McCain tried to win by using Palin to ride in on her coat tails because
she could get women's votes, and she had favor with the "christian right". Shame on him! Why couldn't he run on his own steam? Instead of having an equal partner to run with, he "used" Palin. Thank goodness that thinking people were not hoodwinked with the dirty politics and mudslinging from the McCain camp. Palin was their bulldog who shouldn't have ever been considered V.P. material. Dave

My thought is that John McCain and his running mate showed a large amt of negativity in the campaign. Lots more that the other side did. I do not resent Sarah Palin though and I would like us to not focus on her, not hurt her, let her get on with her work as Gov.

If Sarah Palin was uncertain about certain facts, if she was ill prepared to be McCain's VP, it was not her fault. It was the fault of those people who selected her without vetting her. She gave it all she had, she energised the Republican base and drew thousands of people to McCain's rallies, attracting thousands more than McCain ever did. She was used and now she is being abused. The treatment she is getting is shameful and the comments are indeed petty and mean-spirited.

Cruel, Mean-Spirited, Immature Jerks, Tried to spread something on National News that was not true! My My.. now who does that sound like? Sarah Palin maybe???

This little piggy went to market...this little piggy stayed home....and this little piggy in lipstick went wah wah wah all the way home to Alaska! Everytime Caribou Barbie opens her mouth more ignorance, hate and lies come out! Enough already!!!! Thank God she is now Alaska's problem!

I'm not a Sarah Palin fan-do not share her values, and was very concerned about her lack of experience. But, the only Republican in the McCain camp admitting responsibility for losing the election-John McCain himself.

These so called "advisors" who are now skewering Sarah Palin, are probably a significant reason the Republicans lost so badly. If this is all they can come up with-making the person they chose and failed to adequately vet, the scapegoat-well, it actually says a lot more about their shortcomings than it says about Sarah Palin.

Clinton/Palin 2012? Palin has some things to brush up on, but four more years in our faces can turn that election into one helluva race against whomever else wants to run for president. You're welcome to join us on our path through history Gov. Palin. It's all good, girl! Do ya thing. Obama/Biden 2008. Yes we did.

Although I don't like the mean spirt of the McCain camp, I have to think like a sensible women. My sensibility tells me when she was asked to run as VP she should have put country first and been privy to the fact that she WAS NOT PREPARED!! period.

She was willing to potentially be president without basic knowledge of goverment and civics. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that she was not that bright. I'm sure she is a fine Alaskan governor...but thats it!!!

So...Sarah....whey you casually -and frequently- spewed false accuasations about Obama while you were on the campaign trail(see 'palling around with terrorist for example) is was just jfine and dandy.

But now...when people say s**t about you...they are 'jerks'.

Well Sarah...it's an old saying...but it is tried and true...'you reap what you sow'.

How's it feel?

You of all people -considering your campaign performance- deserve to be 'trashed'.

I'm loving every article I read.

Governor Palin is a Governor! She is not stupid, dumb, and idiot etc etc. She would have never been elected to the highest office in her state, had she been a nit wit. She was thrown out into the tail end of this campain and handled herself beautifully. Those who are ganging up on her really need to stop and smell the coffee here. John McCain lost end of story. Blame for his loss , as McCain stated himself was his. The Media Bias against McCain and the Love fest for Obama had alot more to do with his loss than Sara Palin. I thought she did one hell of a job, for all she was put through.People need to move on now, support the President Elect. and lets get the country moving forward. Whether you like Obama or not, We are in the sh–ter here and this is not helping efforts to get us back on track. Grow up people...

She can dish it, but she can't take it. Coward hypocrite.

Sorry Sarah. but what else can you expect out of a OBAMA ran media nothing but moron crap.

at the thought of having this woman as VP, my heart wants to have an attack. huuuge sigh of relief that America made the right choice.

GO AMERICA!! I'M SO PROUD!!

You sow what you reap..............
Your attacks on Obama were cruel and unjustified and now that the big boys have decided to use you as the scapegoat you want our sympathy.
Please Sarah stay away from the press let this chapter close take care of your family and govern Alaska and let us all get on with the solving the difficult problems we face in this nation it's just not all about you Sarah.

Hay Palin, you lost by a landslide.
Why are you airing your private dirty laundry in the public forum.
We do not care, about your personal problems.

Country First?

They knew she was useless all along.

Think about that.

The republican voters would rather see McCain and Palin win than Obama and Biden. Excellent choice when you have a war veteran of 72 yrs of age and an Alaskan governor who had to take a crash course as to what to say in the campaign.

I've seen Sarah Palin called a racist several times in this blog. Typical – but the only person talking about the fact that Obama is black was Obama! Govenor Palin pointed out questionable relationships and the fact that Obama will tax us to death. In my opinion, these are not things to be overlooked when discussing a man who, at the time, was running for president. Yes, he was elected, with so much help from the media who refused to bring up anything negative about him, inaccuracies about what really led to the financial crisis we're in (do your homework – it all started in the Clinton administration when Clinton supported giving loans to people who had no way of repaying them . The democrats would not allow anyone to look into the obvious problems occuring (Bush brought this to their attention), Barney Frank lied and said everything was fine, etc. etc. So many lies, but not from the Republicans! Now – hold onto your pursestrings – we're in for a bumpy ride.

I know what you mean Frank. Get rid of Tina Fey also so we don't even have to be reminded of Palin again.
******BOYCOT 30 ROCK!*******

Doesn't she have clothes of her own.Come on Now are you trying to dress up someone to act a specific part.Husband and kids also benefit.Do not they have jobs.Does alaskan voters pay for her & wardrobes.

Sarah Who?

Why won't you Dems give up already?!?
Don't you get it... you won! Stop bashing McCain and Palin as it only makes you and fellow dems look bad. Sore losers!
Obama= not MY President

What's the difference between a pitbull and Sarah Palin?

The difference between at pitbull and Sarah Palin is a pitbull is smart enough that you can train it!

Leave her alone until after you've read the article about how Alaskans feel about her. From what all my friends and relatives in Alaska say she's a good governor and she's pretty smart. I still don't think she has the wherewithal to be President (and let's face it she was running for President not Vice President). Of course, who knows what will happen given time and world policy education.

Did you see where Iraq, which has been balking at Bush's security plan, is willing to work with Obama (the inexperienced one, Steve!) to get the details hashed out, because if we don't, we are out of there on Jan. 1...no authority, no weapons, no security. Barack will bring this saga to a safe conclusion, and bring those precious boys and girls home, as well as our tax dollars.

Imagine someone using rumors, unfounded allegations, half truths and outright lies in an attempt to destroy someone else's credibility!!!!
In a word – Karma
Nobody screamed "sexism" when it was flowing in the other direction.

NOW – can we just get on with fixing the problems of the country!

You can't blame the media for the Couric interviews. It is not the media's fault that she doesn't know the role of the VP. The media didn't force members of the McCain campaign to turn on her. It wasn't the 'gotcha media' that used rallies to spread lies and misinformation about Obama. Most of the blame for this falls right back on Palin.

Sarah Palin should be thankful for the fact that, in reality, she was treated with kid gloves by the media. Very little was reported about her own radical pastors, her connections with the AIP, her willingness to use taxpayer money for personal expenses and her reference to Alaska's oil resources as 'collectively owned' with the wealth being shared.

Many of the posters are correct; she dished out a lot, but she doesn't like to take it.

My 3rd grader is smarter than this woman. Media, do the world a favor – please do not put her on national television again.. She is just dumb sounding and the words are worst than my 1 year old who can choose words on a 2nd grade level. She is good for "SNL" and that's it....

Sarah Palin is too thin skinned to handle Federal level politics. She will do well to stay in Alaska and do whatever it is she does. While I think people should leave her alone, she also needs to stop whining about it. When you play the game sometimes you get burned especially when you try to bring small town thinking to the big city.

Maybe now the Republican women can understand the beating that Hillary Clinton has take for years. She has been called a B**** and cold for years for being tough enough to give as good as she gets. As a female, I am very disappointed in the whining of Sarah Palin. She has to remember that her own self protrayal has also led to some of this bad press. Maybe she should study Barack Obama and his ability to be calm and deliberate in his thinking and actions. Take some lessons Sarah and come back when you are ready to be a serious contender.

The woman is a loon.

Iowa Mom –

I'm not talking about your uneducated mind.being BIPARTISAN I am taling about Washington. Hope you are not too disappointed when the HOPE and CHANGE does not reveal itself.......

Mccain only helped Obama by selecting this bully to be his runningmate. Thanks Mccain for giving us no choice!

Steve, truth be told, the Alaska legislature meets just 90 days a year, so how much executive experience does she have? And when she was mayor, the fist thing she did was hire an administrator to run the city for her.
She also admits, just not on the campaign trail, that Alaska, which taxes successful oil companies big time and then redistributes the profits to every Alaskan, working or not, old and young, is the "most socialist" of the states. So I don't think she's the paragon of leadership and fiscal responsibility you thinks he is. Alaska is doing well because of their oil and because there just aren't that many people–so there are jobs and wealth. They haven't been affected by the economic downturn, so how would she deal with that? Tax the utilities and "spread the wealth?" But, gee, that sounds familiar! Isn't that COMMUNIST???

At first I thought she was a complete idiot. I still don't think she is the brightest bulb and when asked to be on the ticket should have said thanks but no thanks because I am not qualified. That said, I think that the McCain campaign is trying to blame her for the loss. McCain's campaign was a complete disaster, adding Sarah Palin to the ticket was, I believe, the final nail in the coffin as far as the election goes. I've softened my opinion of her somewhat. Still don't think she's ready or qualified but think the campaign used her to get the Hillary voters which just shows how out of touch the campaign was. Hillary voters would never vote for Sarah Palin – the views are direct opposite. Frankly, I am insulted by John McCain if he thought any woman would get Hillary's supporters. Sarah Palin was part of the loss but the biggest part of the loss is on John McCain himself.

sara palin needs to be impeached, she is a scary human being.

What I dont understand is that they were all prepared to have her in the 2nd highest office in the land – WHY are we only finding out about this stuff now when they lost – what would have happened if they won and SHE did have to step in to the Presidential role YIKES – SCARY STUFF – I mean come on "Are you smarter than a 5th grader – 5th grade goegraphy: Africa IS a continent....

I don't feel bad for her. She came out of nowhere swinging and refused to talk to the media like everyone else did. Even at the debate she said straight out that she wasn't going to answer the questions she didn't want to answer. Can you imagine that as President. I find it hypocritical that she is now complaining about the same type of tactics that she used in the campaign. Also, she should take back what she said about Hilary whining. She behaved badly. She has a nasty character and I am sure she made a lot of enemies.
The comments made about her are not sexist. In fact it is she who has done a disservice to women by her dispicable conduct.

Wah, wah, wah all the way home.

impeach this woman.

After watching Sarah Palin's comments, I now know what a soar loser truly sounds like...after losing a beauty contest I thought she would be used to not winning.

But seriously, the Sarah's comment about only women in Alaska are self-sufficient really shocked me, since she was gunning for women voters. Women in the other states run fortune 500 companies, serve overseas, are police officers, firefighters, as well as, some have the luxury of being able to stay at home with their kids, which is equally important...but to make the statement women living in other states are being the women in Alaska is just crazy.

I think Sarah Palin needs a hug! Or maybe a different shade of lipstick.
What I thought was really funny is when she talked about the clothes, when Sarah started on the campaign trail her eyebrows where dark brown, now they match the highlights and lowlights in her hairs.

She should just be happy about the trips, the make-up and the nice black boots I'm sure she kept...and not poke her head up on the radar of the other non-progressive states in this great country of the United States of America. I just her girl Elizabeth(from The View) isn't progressive either.

Wow... you have the gall to call them names? This is the big league little lady. Stick to your own local politics and good luck "trying" to stay out of jail.. not to mention getting reelected to your post. Because you burned alot of bridges with your little stunts with McCain. Don't expect an easy election up there...

Wynter

I am so glad that Palin gets what she deserves. She thought that she has ‘an exclusive right’ to use the dirty tactics such as insinuation, smears and outright lies and will be rewarded for it. What goes around – comes around… exactly! She will forever be a symbol of idiocy, the biggest political joke.

Leo "I know what I know what I know" is hardly an "articulate" statement. And "you betcha" and her other colloquialisms do not belong in a national political campaign. Call me elitist, but people expect their leaders to have some command of their native language. She threw "also" into every sentence a couple of times, she couldn't even tell Couric the name of ONE magazine or newspaper she reads, and you found her articulate? I don't hate her, I just don't have any use for a woman who is so ambitious she doesn't even know when she's out of her league. And a woman with a Down syndrome newborn and a pregnant teenage daughter, and supposedly a fulltime job in Alaska (although I guess the legislature meets just 90 days) should have said "No, thanks" to the RNC. There would have been other campaigns. Now I think she has ruined that for herself.

Any way we can send Tina Fey to Alaska too? Her making fun of Palin is comparable to Richard Simmons making making fun of Michael Jackson.

First of all, I am in no way a Sarah fan,however:

I hope that this election has taught her and shown her how unprepared she is/was to run for a major government position. I hope she will take the time now to study and learn what all is involved and learn about herself and her capabilities. Then I hope she will be realistic with her goals and asperations. I mean her no harm.

Next I do want to give her credit for her spunk and determination. Ok so the spunk and determination was misguided and just plain off the mark, but hey, YOU BETCHA she tried.

The reality for her right now is that she has been handed a golden opportunity. She can make tons of lemonade out of the lemons. If she writes a book she will have to do it fast because the interest is going to die fast, she could do a made for tv movie and make some bucks, but again act fast. Or she could progress and turn history around. Who knows, there are lots of things for her to do.

I won't be buying the book or watching the movie however.

Good luck Sarah. I do honestly mean that.

HOwever, I am jubulant that I don't have to worry about you in our nations high office.
Mary

So they wanted to push her on us!! Who let the Dog out!!!

I can't believe that the republicans are blaming Palin for their lost. They are the ones who chose Palin to be McCain's running mate. As history continues, the republicans do not take responsibilities for their actions but to blame them on other people.

Republicans need to start thinking outside of the box and look at the bigger picture.

The blame game is the oldest trick in the book, and Americans are starting to see right through republicans.

Republican need to come up with new strategies and they need to start allowing their young republicans to make suggestions and incorporate those suggestions or ideas to achieve a better outcome.

I AM A DEMOCRAT because of the old games that the republicans continue to play. Republicans need to embrace change and lead by example.

So when will this all stop? It's over, Obama won and you continue to bash Sarah for what reason? To make yourselves feel better about electing someone with less Executive Experience then she has? Is that it? She has far more Executive Experience then Obama and Biden combined. So what if she doesn't know about Foreign affairs. She was not picked as VP for her foreign experienced. She was picked because she is a REFORMER. She gets things done and has proven her ability to WORK for the American people. Hate to break it to you; Obama has ZERO...ZIP...NADA on Foreign policy experience too. That is why he picked Biden in the 1st place. Oh, how you forgot about that? His week long trip overseas gave him all the experience he needed right?

You hated Bush because he had no experience, so what did you do. You went ahead and elected Obama cause he's the one for change. Change what, I don't know, he has never said anything that he would change except raise our taxes and redistribute our wealth and have a Bigger Government run everyone’s lives.

I like Sarah and her down to Earth attitude. You know something, she was right. She is a REAL American like any one of us. She worked for her position in government because she saw the flaws and corruption and FIXED it. To continue to treat her as less then that just proves you are the REAL UN-American's. You people calling her every name in the book need to look in the mirror first. Maybe go get a real education because you lack any morals what so ever.

Even though I don't like her because of the lies, inuendos, fear-mongering, divisiveness she carried on with in the campaign, it's not right what they are doing. If anything they should come out publicly and say what they have to say, but, I'm not surprised with this kind of nastiness from the Republican party.

Word of advice to Palin.: Do not go on the show, "Are you smarter than a 3rd grader?" Her interviews answered that question.

Why can't people just admit that she simply isn't that bright. Nothing to do with gender. If she were male, the attacks would have been much stronger, but people didn't what to be labeled "sexist". I thought Biden went easy on her in the debates, he had to! No choice there.

I would love to ask her how she justifies the "socialist" claims in light of her own support of the redistribution of oil wealth in the great state of Alaska! She just not make sense.

As women, the emphasis need to be on substance and intellect. On a national stage, a simple suit (no need to be by Versace) is all that's needed. Clothes should not be a distraction, as it's not fashion week in NYC! Neutral tones, and a crisp white blouse underneath, perfect! Let your education take center stage, ladies!

One day a woman with substance will win the Presidency!

So I guess her attacks on Obama were "cruel" and "cowardly" too?

Although I agree that Palin should not be used as the McCain scapegoat and the post election slander is uncouth, let's just admit that Sarah Palin was considered a contender because of her attractiveness not her qualifications. Seriously, can you say that people would have backed a candidate with her level of civic knowledge and experience if she had been dowdy, overweight, odd featured or even just a plain Jane? Close your eyes and strip her of her beauty pageant winning allure and what are you left with? Someone who doesn't have the aptitude or the ambition to educate herself on topics that are relevant to holding one of the highest government posts in this country (if she had, she would have done it by now). Yes, she has confidence. Yes, she exhibits charm and can deliver a speech effectively, but she was a nominee in a presidential race, not the Emmys. I'd have her emcee a national event any day, but to be second in command as our country's leader, she was way out of her league.

Someone tell me why the hatred of this woman is so intense. I found her genuine, articulate and a Washington outsider. You liberal haters that continue to spew your hatred is ponderous. Can't you see that the liberal media has painted this picture of Sarah Palin. Stop drinking the kool-aid liberals and wake up. We are entering a new era that needs are support. BI- PARTISAN

************************************************************************

And your way of being BI-PARTISAN is yet bringing up the lame attack of drinking the kook-aid and saying "you liberal haters". Yep, sounds like you want to bring everyone together.

"I don't think any kind of perceived whine helps our cause".

I wonder if she has a greater appreciation of Hillary Clinton now.

she could dish it out but she can't take it, hypocrite, she almost got obama killed with her hate and lies. not at all sorry for this woman.

how dare they point out her obvious lack of an IQ?

Woo-hah – a Republican civil war – or as Rush would say, an 'uncivil war'! No one can win this one but the Dems! You go girl – run in 2012! These conservatives are idiots! We love Barak!!!

I said it before and I will say it again.......what goes around, comes around........I said that when Palin was throwing trash around about Obama, looks like it's coming back to her 7 fold...........what we sow, we reap........looks like she is reaping what she sowed.......sorry Palin, don't have a bit of pity for you after all the trash you threw at Obama......

Yeah, it's no fun when people say nasty things about you is it? Things like Socialist, Marxist, Kill him, etc.

Go away Sara and don't come back.

She didn't know Africa was a continent? What? She can't see Africa from Alaska?

**lol** couldn't help that one.

Seriously though. I'm not a Palin fan, but I think it's petty to be dredging up this crap after you've lost the election. Okay, so maybe some of McCain's aides feel selecting Palin was a mistake, and they are fed up after 6 weeks of dealing with her, still McCains loss can be attributed to a number of factors and it's for McCain's aides to pin it on Palin makes it sound like they are trying to divert attention away from their own mistakes.

So, Sarah thinks that attacks toward her are " cruel " and " cowardly " and " taken out of context ". Wow !!!!! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. She should think back on her speeches on the campaign trail. You know, there is an old saying " never burn all your bridges behind you ". I think all of her bridges, including the one to " nowhere " have all gone up in smoke. Welcome to reality Sarah. You are now in the real world.

Someone tell me why the hatred of this woman is so intense. I found her genuine, articulate and a Washington outsider. You liberal haters that continue to spew your hatred is ponderous. Can't you see that the liberal media has painted this picture of Sarah Palin. Stop drinking the kool-aid liberals and wake up. We are entering a new era that needs are support. BI- PARTISAN

NEVER THE LESS , IN LESS THAN 4 YRS, YOU KNOW WHO WILL BE KNOCKING AT THE FRONT DOOR TO START PACKING AN GET READY TO MOVE.

SO BEST THEY KEEP DONATING FOR THE DNC BUNCH . FOR BY THEN THE MEDIA WILL BE LOOKING HOW TO CRAWL OUT OF THE WOOD SHED TO SPREAD MORE LIES. AS OF NOW IT IS FRONT PAGE NEWS, WE THE MEDIA DONE OUR JOB FOR HOLLYWOOD.

Palin was the victim of her own greed and ambition-she stood there with a smirk as people at rallies called out the most rasist ugly vile things about Obama.
What goes around comes around.

Palin still is not the well-spoken person she should be for seeking such a high office. It was really obvious that she was ill-prepared (on her own) for the VP position and had never really tried to keep up with global issues. She has a very narrow outlook on the world, not unlike Pres. Bush. That, and her ability to engage in outright lies and claim high moral values at the same time was unbelievable. I could care less about the whole wardrobe debacle. That's between her and the McCain campaign or RNC. I just hope we don't see her in national politics again!

Poor thing! While I could actually have sympathy for her, it's tempered a bit when I recall her condescending tone explaining how her opponent "pals around with terrorists." She knew what she was getting into. It's somewhat pathetic that an apparent hero to the far right, who seem to relish mudslinging, would be so sensitive to negative remarks.

This just in....Joe the plumber was twice on welfare! Says it was ok, as he paid into the system?!

Dirty ,Dirty Dems for exposing the lies!

David Stein is right. Why is anyone reporting this? They LOST.

Can we stop wasting our breath and our energy on the woman. she is so Nov. 3rd. She lost, let her go home and play in the snow and kill a moose. I don't care just stop bringing her up and she will vanish like all the other looser VP's before her.

They picked her!

so the pitbull is upset, oh well you reap what you sow!!!!! she called obama everything but the "N" word, she spewed so much hate in this election it was pitiful !!!!!! hopefully we wont have to see her in the near future, and im especially GLAD THE FIRST DUDE IS GONE !!!!! GO OBAMA & BIDEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything the press writes about Palin now is just sensationalism because they have nothing better to do and need to fill space.

The bottom line is Sara asked for the job through the extreme right and Schmidt brow beat an old man into accepting her as his running mate. She did this and accepted the position on the ticket knowing full well she was ill prepared and way out of her league. Some may call it blind ambition.

Had Palin just campaigned on policy it would be easier to feel some pity for her but her lies and hate make her ripe for getting clubbed and the harder she gets clubbed the more deserving it is.

She is a contemptable person with only one concern and that is her own personal advancement. She deserves everthing she gets except the governor's job.

All that I can sat is...."what you sow, so shall you reap."

Ok this is not news ms palin was not ready we didn't need mccains people to tell us that 65 million seen it

well well well, seems the pit bull turns into a Feline when the makeup comes off.

I hate to keep repeating this but no one is even mentioning it and it can't be taken out of context. During the prank call from the radio show, she did not know the Name of the Prime Minister of Canada who was just re- elected in October. We are neighbors she should know at least that much.

The DUMMY is gone. Thank God. I hope never to be heard from again. She might be big in Alaska but in the lower 48 she is a bad nightmare.

I'm no fan of Sarah Palin either, but I do believe she's being ill-used now. Thom Hartmann had an interesting theory about it, which is: it's the Romney people in the McCain campaign who are doing this, in order to 'take Palin out' of any 2012 consideration, leaving the field free for Romney. Sound plausible??

I thought we were done with this crazy whack job on November 4 at 11:20 PM

She is soooooo dumb that she doesn't even know McCain totally used her. She is so obviously unprepared to be in politics. Stay Home, be a mom, be a grandma but do go away from the light.

McCain wanted a game-changer, but instead got someone with a doughnut size brain like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
McCain should be court-marshalled for putting the Country at risk

Palin, please write a book...I'd read it!

Seems like there was a lot of drama in this campaign. I'd like to know the truth...

McCain aides, Palin aides, McCain, Palin please please please write a book!!!!!

Doesn't feel good to have untrue things said about now does it Sarah?? It was ok for you to make false claims against Barack, but when it's done to you, you can't stomach your own medicine. No one's going to throw you a pity party Sarah...

This woman is so high school. She's about to be a grandmother and she's acting as though she's a teenager.

I ready don't want to said any thing mean, but she is getting her pay back from all her nasty comments toward Obama. She being a Christian no that if you judge someone you will be judged I will say I don't like the way McCain campaign used Sara Palin to be their attach dog and then threw her under the bus when McCain lost.

aah, the pit bull is unhappy !!!!!! too bad you REAP WHAT YOU "SOW"!!!!! case dismissed !!!!!! she called "our president elect" everything but the "N" word !!!!! hopefully we wont have to see her in the near future .......she ought to give "joe the plumber" a job in alaska !!!!!

Seeing how Governor Palin and Senator Clinton were treated in news stories and by late night comedians do you think ANY young girls in the US will EVER aspire to run for President? When the girls get criticised for spending thousands on clothes and the boys can spend millions on stage props and ads? When nobody comments on how the boys are dressed but look at that dress Michelle Obama wore on stage? I remember stories on how Ferraro dressed rather than on what she said. When the boys can leave the family and criss-cross the country without comment, but everyone wonders how the girls can leave their babies; or they get criticised for taking them along? CNN should poll young GIRLS and ask them, considering how the women have been treated in presidential elections, would they ever consider running themselves?

To all the people pointing out how she hasn't denied anything they said...

She has. Days ago.

I find it interesting how many Obama supporters criticize the news when they are bashing their candidate. But you're so willing to lap it all up when they cite anonymous sources suggesting that she couldn't name the countries in North America.

I wonder if any such folks like "Shrek", "tee" "Jeff the independent", etc will ever come to realize what shameless hypocrites they are.

Are we expected to feel sorry for her? She was willing to do whatever it took to be the VP and knew exactly what she was doing and the type of people she was working with. Deal with the fall out – did she honestly think that the "rats" she was willing to work with would not turn on each other once they lost?

The media buried her and people putting comments on CNN buried her as well. I have seen unfair treatment from the public ; for example, the media did not say even one bad thing about or toward Obama but they did toward Sarah Palin. (I don't know maybe they were afraid of black people's riot if they did toward Obama??)

Sarah Palin is who she is and people should respect that as well. She is a hard working mom running family and office which most men do not even imagine. I applaude her for it.

McCain campaign should not blame her on failure of getting the White House ticket. They failed mainly because people couldn't get rid of the image that McCain is same as Bush. People got tired of Replubicans and Bush and wars etc. GOP did not lose because of Sarah Palin so stop blaming on her!!! When you lose and go down, you must go down together not blaming on each other. How shameful it is!
Remember McCain and Palin had 56 million votes while Obama had 63 million votes. Not much difference in terms of votes. Remember that. If Sarah Palin was not there, McCain did not get that much votes.

Who really cares, there's a huge economic mess and we really don't need to hear about this, issues PLEASE!!

So, essentially, when she does these things herself, on the campaign, repeatedly, it's okay, but now that it's happening to her, it's suddenly cruel and juvenile?

Quite a me-first double-standard there, Sarah.

Personally, I don't think anyone should be doing that type of thing to anyone else. I don't support it either way. But honestly... taking a dose of one's own medicine is always distasteful. Just deal.

The way she lied about Obama on the campaign trail, I don't feel sorry for her at all. She couldn't attack one policy vote, but made sure she instilled fear in her supporters about Obama's preacher, Bill Ayers and that dreadful word socialist. She decided early on she was going rouge, contradicting John McCain on a few issues, only interested in her own political career. She lost the election for the Maverick.

They were the ones who wanted her as vice president. atleast their candidate did. why are they bawling now? These "men" are pathetic. She's their scapegoat.

She probably thinks a thesaurus is some sort of dinosaur!

So, somebody tell me– has Sarah returned all those fancy clothes bought on the GOP credit card yet??? She said they would be going to charity....

Access your inner Andy Griffith,

let em up, give em a pat , get back in the game

not a fan of Palin, but believe in good sportsmanship.

Show us, show the world, what civility is.......c'mon I dare ya

I thought she was soooo qualified! She would make a great V/P! Now, just like I expected once as McSenile lost, his aides would double cross her and blame her that she was the reason why they lost! With Palin or without, McSenile sold he soul to the same guys that Karl Rove had to bad mouth him in 2000! If McSenile and his aides what to blame anyone they should blame themselves siding with the worst President and Administration in modern history!

Palin's selection says a lot about McCain's lack of judgement. McCain has used Sarah as much as he can including using her daugther Bristol, her son Track a high school drop-out who went to Irak and her younger son with Dawn syndrome Trig for political benefit. Sarah is not particularly inteligent, that is for sure, but McCain is not inteligent too, that was a couple of two blind people who were trying to help each other and win an election.

Ooooohhh dat not nice to be mean to Sarah. Sarah never been mean to nobody nohow, never told a lie, never tried to question anyone's character or reputation or patriotism for his country (oops). It really hurts to think there are mean McPain camp managers who actually would whisper such vile things behind yer back even (You betcha!). Regards, Sarah.

She's still an idiot.

why doesnt she just go away??

There is someone out there who respects Palin? For what?! Because she is an obnoxious, uneducated, racist, social climbing bully?

I can see how GOP might consider her useful to pander to the lowest element in the party... I can understand why McCain, who always showed complete lack of respect for women, could believe that Palin will garner all of Sen. Clinton's votes (because we are all interchangeable, of course)... But respect?!

Poor little Sarah can dish it out but she cannot take it. When she was spewing her hate and lies about President elect Obama did she care that her words were hateful and lies...no.

Cruel and cowardly? Kind of like her convention speech, you mean?

Why is Sarah now surprised that she is being blamed for this astronomical loss? If she were as perceptive as she pretends to be, she would have seen this coming a long time ago. Someone has to be blame for the scam of a campaign McCain has run.

Jerks? lol

Oww she looks like she got bullied and now she is going to throw a fit.

Imagine if she was Prez.

Anytime a crisis would occur, she would run to her room sobbing like a little baby she is.

I think that is one of the reasons why America does not want to elect a female president. It's all about emotions.

America chose Barack who is half black, why? coz he wasn't running to help black people but to help America.

Hilary might have been a chance however barbie dolls like Palin will never get the support of the average american looking for a leader.

"Those were taken out of context and that's cruel," Palin said.

I just wonder in what context not knowing that Africa is a continent and not a country would be acceptable?

At first I could have cared less about John McCain and his twit. But after actually witnessing the hurt ashamement and dishonor on his faceof course I"am a person of feelings. If he hadn"t been so eagered to get back at obama about not having Hillary on his ticket he probably would have ran a better race. But I heard his wife Cindy picked her, so that may mean someone at home is tired of politics!

As more of these stories come out, Sarah Palin is appearing less and less honest.

The sad part is that the stories fit with her behavior during the campaign and the other stories that came out of Wasilla.

Between Palin and anonymous sources in McCain's campaign staff, I have to trust the anonymous sources. It all just fits.

I agree with her. To cut her down, anonymously, after the election is absolutely cowardly. I have never been a fan of Sarah Palin's, but she's got more guts than all of McCain's aides put together.

Well, Sarah, if you're going to step into the ring unprepared you're going to take a few sucker punches. Maybe now you'll start to understand how horribly over your head you were and how you never really had a chance at this thing. Look, you and Todd are cut from Alaska cloth, and that cloth will never wear in D.C. Stay in Alaska, stay sheltered and stay happy. You got bruised up pretty badly in your VP bid. But any further forays into D.C. and I'm pretty sure you'll have your bones picked clean. It's really not your town. Please – for the sake of you, your family, and the rest of the country – stay in Alaska and continue doing what you do there. You'll never be scrutinized there and that seems to fit your political style very well.

If you can't play with the big boys, stay out of the lower 48. We don't miss you at all. We play bare knuckle, hardball down here – doncha know? You betcha!

I can't imagine how Sarah comments could be taken "out of context", she is so CLEAR, CONSISE and ARTICULATE!!! You Betcha!!! She has mastered the English langage and can actually string some words together to make a sentence!! Wow, that is all I can say!!!!!

She is so right!! Great Lady.

They may be cowardly, in fact if they are "anonymous" then they are cowardly, however, I'm not sure they are "cruel". It may be rude and hurtful, but, as I've said for a few months now, Ms. Palin, you reap what you sow. Ms. Palin, you riled up crowds of your supporters using loaded words like terrorist and socialism. You never tried to put a stop to the obvious and disgusting displays of hatred at your rallies. You displayed to all of us the depth of your ignorance regarding world affairs, the financial crisis, the constitution, the role of the V.P., and numerous other matters. So if someone leaks information about your lack of knowledge and lack of intellectual curiosity, and it hurts your feelings, well, I'm sorry. You positioned yourself to speak for all women and you did not. In fact, you hurt us through your intolerance, religious zeal, your anti-choice stance, and your ignorance. You single handedly set women in politics back. Maybe I should put it this way, what goes around, comes around. You lashed out verbally, now you are getting your reward.

In the real sense they were cruel and cowardly and they knew what they were getting when the chose her. You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.

That's too unbelievable.

Cowards that sabotaged the McCain campaign now playing the blame game, messing it up for ALL the rest of them, because now there are no politicians who'll want to work with ANY of them.

Dean did a good thing exposing the criminal at the White House but he was shunned after that. Nobody could trust him with their hair down. But that was justified. This is just pure spite.

Or maybe it's just confirmation that they were there to make sure McCain would lose all along...

Note, however, that she isn't really denying that these things are true.

They are telling the truth. The fact the some people in this country were ready to accept below average for the second highest position in this country is ridiculous. Who is her Dick Cheney in Alaska? She is not governing alone.

The fact that the race is over and there is still bickering going on makes me wonder what was going during the election. The race is over quit crying about spilled milk.

Does any of this surprise anyone?

Enough already: this woman is dumber than a box of rocks.

Turn the channel on her speaky, fingernails-on-a-chalkboard voice/message already!

Sarah Palin has an amazing effect on a lot of men-–they all want her so badly, and since they know they can't have her, they choose to attack and demean her as a way of getting even. Keith Olbermann fits that category very well.

These are very small, very pathetic men: the kind of guys (Olbermann included) who don raincoats when they visit porn theaters.

What is your obsession with this woman? Let her go back to governing Alaska and move on!

She was a dreadful candidate. The sooner she is history the better!

Those aides are probably telling the truth since she told so many lies!

These unnamed sources are cowards.

Sarah loves only Sarah.

I really don't care about this woman and wish she would just go away!

Although it doesn't surprise me about the things Palin does not know. It is cowardly to defame someone behind their backs. But then, it came from GOP sources, that has been and is their modus operandi all this time. Now, the lion is eating its young. Observers, stay clear of the carnage!

you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that she does not know what she is talking about. If Mcshame's own people are bringing it up that means that there is some truth about it.

Aw, the pitbull from Wasilla is unhappy.

Another repuke that can dish it out but can't take it.

Thank God she's gone home.

And what she says is still relevant because..???!!!

you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that she does not know what she is talking about. If Mcshame's own people are bringing it up that means that there is some truth about it. WHO CARES!!!!!!

You notice she doesn't say they aren't true.

You go girlfriend! I respect you even more now. Obama should have picked you...

Jerks? JERKS?! What are you in, Junior High? There is a little book called the thesaurus. Use it. It's a book that big boys and girls use when they get older.

LOL poor know nothing Palin. She is getting hit with the same crap she did to President-elect Obama. Guess it goes to show the old saying "do unto others as you would have done to you"

Come now... is Gov. Palin truly surprised that there is NO HONOR amongst thieves? She displayed a lack of it as well! Seriously!

Leave her alone! It was McCain who picked her. If McCain's aids really cared about the country, why did they continue to lie during the race by saying how qualified she was?

Dearie, we sent you back home to Alaska so we would not have to listen to you anymore. Go drill baby, drill, and leave the lower 48 alone.
