She doesn't know what she is talking about because she is dumber than a box of rocks. even if the bailout is stupid, she doesn't know why. She's just saying what someone told her to say.

ENOUGH OF THIS KOOK ALREADY. LET HER FADE INTO THE FORGOTTEN CHAPTERS OF HISTORY.

CNN – Can you please give us a break? She is a total idiot and a waste of news time for those of us who love watching your network. She just getting really sickening now!

Obama! He is not in the wyhite house yet.. and the Blacks Are Gloating at The Republicans… These so-called Funny People.. WilL want to dis-own Obama in a a few months time…

shore up, shore up, shore up

Learn a new phrase already!

Why do we care what this pathetic airhead of a governor has to say?

I hope she does run in 2012, it will give me another reason to vote Democrat.

I don't understand the hatred for Palin. She is the most down to earth candidate this country has ever seen. She does lack some knowledge and probably wasn't ready in 2008, but she has a great future and is more than capable of learning over the next few years. She's only 44. We have at least 20 more years of her in the political scene.

I also find it ironic that people critisize her hunting of wildlife in Alaska, but are angry, because she's anti-abortion. Basically saying it's okay to kill a baby, just don't harm a wolf, moose, or caribou.

I don't get it!

Sarah talking about the economy is funny. Alaska get more federal hand out than any other states or territory so maybe she is the reason or part of it why we are hurting. Palin is ambitious and is an empty vessel. She makes too much noise and knows nothing!

She supported the bailout the first time. whatever. why is she still in the news?

So lastweek Obama was a socialist who was palling with terrorists and leading our country into ruin, and this week he's acheived a great thing for himself and our country??? Palin has no integrity and obviously speaks out of both sides of her mouth. It's scary that Palin supporters can't see past her self-interest B.S. and continue to support her.

we should all turn off any channels that report on palin…enough is enough..i for one will not turn on cnn as soon as i see her name in the ticker…if we all do that, cnn ratings will go down, they are smart enough to figure it out if we all keep the comments coming, then they will stop the madness….bet cnn does not take this out of moderation

i was so sick in the campaign trail and here again.. is there no one to guide her where her house is ? PLEASE LET HER GO HOME QUICKLY !

can you just fall off the face of the earth.

you are total nonsense.

go away.

cnn, stop covering her. she is a nobody.

This woman is irrelevant. Shame on CNN and other media outlets for drawing out her 15 minutes of fame.

Who is going to trust Sarah Palin??? When she and her husband formed a radical group called the Alaskan Independent Party who wanted to remove the state of Alaska from the United States of America. They hated the United States of America. We all know that that by removing the state of Alaska, that Sarah Palin and her husband would gain by it and would gain control of all the oil wells and sell it back to us. By, John McCain selecting Sarah Palin as his VP it has given Sarah Palin the power of voice. Before, anyone gives Sarah Palin the time and the energy, better listen and read between the lines. We may be preparing for the future anti-christ. Anyone who believes and practices in witchcraft cannot be christian.

she's the new leader of the GOP. they must be proud…………..?

Away to Go, Sarah….. Give them what have a right to do!.. You are just another individual, and you have a right to your say.. Whatever.. Do some Homework.. The dive in again… &You have hjust as much right as Hillary Clinton.. Even if your don't have an Ex President, who had to resign………..

Yawn….I want one media person…just one…to come forward and state that this is news. Come on, stop hiding behind the CNN label.

CNN used to be my favorite channel for news, however, i am sickened by all of the hoopla about Palin. She is an absolute bird brain. I think I speak for many who are tired of seeing and hearing about her. PLESE move on. Enough is Enough!!!

Hey CNN, do you think you can quit your love affair with Sarah Palin?? We don't want to hear about her anymore.

If any one you have ever read the the anchorage daily news you will see what alaska thinks of Sarah. I dont see how she ever got to be govener up there. And i doubt they will vote her in for another term. The trouble with Sarah she has never growed up, if things dont go her way she will pout. I was so glad when god let it be a task of his not to let them two win the election. Now america can go to sleep not having to worry that she could of led our country.

She is a "wonderful governer?" She was governer for 18 months before going out on the campaign trail with her husband and children. Her daughter should have been in school but, as Sarah stated herself that they got a better education being on the campaign trail than they did sitting behind a desk at school.

Enough already of this woman. Go home PLEASE

I believe many have underestimated Sarah Paline. For one thing, she is working hard with the state of Alaska to develop and provide energy for the lower 48 states. She has been a wonderful govenor and I believe she will have a large role in America's future.
–Anne
______________________________________________________
There is nothing this woman can do to make me want to hear her stupid undeducated garbage. I will go dig for coal myself, anything that will keep this woman in Alaska and SILENT. Alaskans must not have high standards, like speaking in complete sentences. She's a moron, take her back and keep her in an igloo or something.

CNN, would you PLEASE stop giving this grammatically challenged woman so much free publicity: two Tickers today and four yesterday!
Surely, there are people in the country and in the world doing good that you can report on during these slow news days!

She is on a publicity campaign and you are falling for it.
She is NOT 'a cultural icon'!!!

Her lifestyle, her family dynamics, her anti-intellectualism, her very loose professional ethics – even her inability to put together a complete sentence – are not to be emulated; and not to be constantly shoved in our faces as 'news'.
The majority of Americans want her to, simply, GO AWAY!

People like Anne need to go see a therapist, and try to struggle back to reality. How can people on the right be so abjectly delusional? It is sad to think that these people are allowed to vote…..but vote they do….and the result is the last 8 years along with a [R] party that no longer has any meaning excuse for existence.

Palin the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

What a hypocrit. I didn't see anyone criticizing Palin for having her hand out for those per diems, flying her kids across the country and getting her house built for free. she is sick and I'm tired of hearing about her.

I think the reporters should demand that she talk in sentences. The American people are sick of the charade. If she wants to talk like a four year old, take her to the nursery. She's an insult to educated American woman. That stupid talk may work for her husband and Alaskans, but Americans in the "lower 48″ are fed up with this uneducated bimbo.

John McCain forgot to take out the trash when he left the election. We're still subject to Sarah's stupid-speak.

Go home Sarah, we hate your guts.

Please , Please Palin go away, come back another dayyyyyyyyyyyyy , instead don`t ever come back!!!!

FOR GOD'S SAKE, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, CNN! THIS WOMAN MAKES ME PHYSICALLY ILL!!!!!

half of what she says makes sense, but she needs to find a way to build up credibility. keynote speaking positions so soon after her dismal performance isnt it. no one believes her 'come together' speeches so soon after she actively divided everyone. why would anyone believe anything else she says at this point??

enough already CNN. can you talk about anything else .

STOP STOP STOP with the Plain reporting. The election is over, McCain/Palin lost. Give it a rest-we're all getting f'ing tired of the news media trying to fill up airtime reporting on this major non-issue. ENOUGH!

DID ANYONE BOTHER TO ASK PALIN WHAT HER SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS, OR DOES SHE THINK SOMEONE IS GOING TO HER HOMEWORK FOR HER? UNTIL THEN, EVERYONE IN THAT CONFERENCE SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO KEEP A "MUZZLE" ON.

Airheads of the world, unite! Palin – Hilton 2012! World Domination and BFF!

The republicans have saved their rich friends on Wall Street. When it comes to UAW jobs the republicans really do not care. Americans who care about their own jobs might consider buying an American made car from Detroit. JFK did say "ask what you can do for your own country". The government can't go out and buy American manufactured goods for us. This global economy doesn't seem to help us as much as it does other countries.

When is the press going to stop saturating us with Sarah the Governor? The woman simply cannot contribute to the geo-political conversation in anything but innane sentence fragments. Is this news? The election is over. The people have spoken…and by an electoral college landslide I might add. Time for Palin to fade into obscurity.

The only reason I dont like Palin is bcoz she's a Republican. I think most of you guys are very hard on her.She got the spotlite during the campaign and I think she's news.

Republicans caused it. Republicans are mired in various ethics probe, including Miss Dimbulb herself. And they're gonna fix it?!? Puh-leeeese.

What is wrong with republicans can any body with reasonably thinking mind believe Sara Palin has what it takes to be a leader you know every time I listen to her speak it just reminds me of Aristotle's definition of "nothing"He define it as follows NOTHING IS WHAT ROCKS DREAMS ABOUT"

Palin's opinions carry no power, her voice is irritating and I wish she would just shut her pie hole and stop thinking AND speaking — sometimes even at the same time.

She needs to stand by her original beliefs and attacks made during the campaign — now that she has no purpose in front of the camera — she obviously reapplied her ugly bulldog lipstick and kissing everyone's backside who provides a forum for her babble.

She's too stupid to know she's stupid. What will it take to shut this woman up–she's uneducated and the biggest joke around. She makes up words, turns verbs into nouns, and nouns into verbs. I'd like to smack her English teacher.

Americans have had enough, this woman should close her mouth and never say anything in public. Seriously.

But not the ethics violation bailout she received…

She can't go away. The news media has followed her to her home. FOX, NBC, CNN and others have request in. How come they did not let her speak to the media while the campaign was still on? Heck the lady is preparing chili dogs in her kitchen at home for all the media.

Would somebody please tell Palin to think before opening the mouth and also to read current affairs?

WHO CARES??? STOP!!!!

This woman is such a fraud and a vindictive one at that. With the first dude not even having a high school diploma and based on her salary, how can they manage to have a million dollar bank account? Those poor Alaskans!
How can she criticize the bailout when she spent 150,000 on clothes for her and her family?

This is like Mike Ditka criticizing soccer!! Could someone tell Palin that the Repblicans and the ones who GREW the government the last 8 years and threw us into this deficit by ignoring the balanced budget!
So on one hand, "the election is over", yet on the other hand she is decrying the media for 'dissecting the past' when SHE is the one who could only talk about Obama's past during the election.

How many sides of her mouth can she talk out of at the same time!!

Gimme a break…..you are sinking your own party…to help them GO HOME AND STAY THERE, just don't bill the state for it.

It is far better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Sarah, please just go away already!

palin trying to get a natural gas pipeline for the united states and the airhead nobama democrats are all dogging her, ya'll showing your idiocy.

MY GOD WHO CARES WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY?!!!!!! This is officially getting ridiculous. When have we EVER gotten this much news coverage of a failed VP candidate? She's clearly proven she has no idea what she's talking about. If this isn't evidence of a conservative media, I don't know what is. Stop giving her a voice, let her go back to being governor of Alaska, and if Alaskans have any good sense, they'll vote her out next time around. Maybe we'll never have to hear about her again.

And her opinion on the bail-out is relevant because?…
Her people up in AK live from hand-outs, why the outrage?
Cuz it's trendy…
Sure I want coverage on the bail-out, but from people who actually know what it means and its consequences. Can you do that, CNN?

I do think we should let the automakers go bankrupt. If I wouldn't invest my money to buy a US vehicle because I think they are inferior I certainly don't want to invest my social securrity against them. In bankruptcy they can reorganize to something reasonable. Let the union bail them out. If they take ownership that would be a reasonable start. No matter how much money you throw on that fire they will go bankrupt, the question is, "How soon will they go bankrupt?".

On another note Palin has no clue so don't even try to convince me that she does.

I feel like George C. Scott in "Hardcore"…"Make it stop, make it stop!" That would be a good You Tube video…playing her interview while forcing Scott to watch it.

Palin's speech is nothing more than a composit of political pundits' views. She has no original thought. Everybody talks about the historic nature of President-Elect Obama's win. And while that was certainly historic, a totally unqualified and incapable person (Palin) being selected to be one heartbeat away from the presidency and giving her the opportunity to be voted for is even MORE HISTORIC! I hope that America has come a long way in its judge of competence and will not allow a totally unqualified person (Palin) to come close to the presidency ever again.

Palin makes me Sick !

I am Sick of here

Palin's right–the bigger the role of government, the smaller the role of the private citizen. The more money the government taxes away from individuals in taxes, the less free those individuals are to spend the money they've worked for.

I just wish she'd said that before the election–it might have been more relevant.

I believe many have underestimated Sarah Paline. For one thing, she is working hard with the state of Alaska to develop and provide energy for the lower 48 states. She has been a wonderful govenor and I believe she will have a large role in America's future.

I'll say one thing for her..boy was she mishandled by the McCain campaign. Given the freedom to speak she is proving a very intelligent and charismatic figure who has a lot of smart and focused things to say in these troubled times.Boy did the McCain campaign screw up with Ms Palin!!!! I have a lot more respect for her now than i ever did.

For the Love of God, will you media people please get off the Palin kick! You media clowns are so obsessed with this airhead and for what reason, I don't know.

The American people are so tired of hearing about this airhead, but the media just can't get enough of her. Please give it a rest, so this woman will go away!

She says "she may not say things the way we want her to say them". Excuse me, we'd like her to say things the way her English grammar book says she should say it.

There's something called ENGLISH GRAMMAR that escapes this woman. She may not think much of it, but it comes in pretty handy when you're talking to the ENTIRE COUNTRY. Don't mind us Sarah, we're funny that way. We like our politicians to communicate in a language we can understand.

Palin's right–the bigger the role of government, the smaller the role of the private citizen. The more money the government taxes away from individuals in taxes, the less free those individuals are to spend the money they've worked for.

I just wish she'd said that before the election.

Ha! It's like a comedy skit: Palin talking about "accountability and personal responsibility" and ethics reform. I mean, really now.

She's not "going back to Alaska" because this is a schedule event that occurs every year. That's why the media is covering it. Also, she's a major player in the political arena now, as a result of the '08 election. Deal with it, guys. We're going to see a lot of Sarah Palin over the next 20 years.

The Democrats have their own annual meeting of the governors as well. I'm sure we'll receive coverage for that as well.

The more this woman talks, the more grateful I am that the country had the brains to ignore her rhetoric & keep her out of Washington

The Gop has released a brainless monster, please Gop you want to get back in touch with the people and gain their respect again you can start by keeping Palin out of the media, and political spotlight. stop insulting our Intelligence or you will never come back!

In Palin Land she thinks she won the race and she is in the Oval Office…..everytime she opens up that mouth of her's I just feel like puting in a salty Salami!

Someone please throw her in their trunk, drive her out in the middle of nowhere and drop her off.

Striking a defiant conservative tone in the wake of last week's Democratic victory, Palin stated that "bigger federal government and more unfunded mandates hurt the economy and our states."

I have to disagree with Palin statment above. I believe the two wars hurt the economy and our states the most. Can she go away already. She is not the Elect President and the sooner she realize this the sooner she will be gone.

The election is OVER so why are we continually bombarded with news, interviews, ramblings, etc … of that dimwit. Don't you have anything else to report. I mean something IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING ?????

Who cares anymore what Palin thinks !

Palin is a non entity. Pay no attention to her.

"without getting any more addicted to opium, other people's money" Well spoken, coming from a Governor whose state gets 85% of its revenue from oil companies.

Hello Gov. Palin.
For those running Socialist Republick of Alaska that survives totally on redestribution of oil wealth, you have no business criticizing bale-outs.

When you have more Palin articles in your political ticker than Obama articles a week after Obama wins the election that's pretty pathetic. I guess CNN can't get enough Palin!

Go Home, all you want is the spotlight. LEAVE!

I am so tired of hearing about this woman. I wish she would slip back into obscurity in Alaska.

PLEASE CNN………WHY…….ALL ………THE……PALIN STORIES???????

She's an idiot.

Although I'm tired of seeing her… I can't say I don't agree on this topic.

Whoopty doo da…she took a position. Now, have her tell us WHY she took that position. Is it because she has a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of our economy and the problems it is facing (hint: NO), or is it because she's already entertaining media-fueled delusions of a 2012 presidential campaign and is simply regurgitating ideological nonsense (hint: YES)?

Why are you reporting her,We have a New President in about 60 something Days lets hear whats going on with him, send Sara away and have her come back in 2010 ENOUGH CNN!

What this lady go away already. She is obessed with herself. Sara Palin was on the losing ticket and she still don't get it.

I am going to buy you all a "Talking Sarah Palin Doll" for Christmas!

Do no other GOP person speak at this conference…time to turn of CNN and its blog until Janiary 20th at which time maybe you will be reporting the news!!!

Stalkers should be issues RESTRAINING ORDERS!

Palin is a STALKER. Law Officials, do your job!

No, this is the problem with reporters who don't know what they are hearing. It is not "opium," it is OPM — other people's money.

It would be great if reporters had areas of expertise — tax, the military, business, but most journalists spend too much time repeating other rournalists to have anything intelligent to say.

CNN: We don't care what this woman thinks or says. She is the past.

We want more of President Elect Obama and Vice President Elect Biden.

DO WHAT I DO!!! CHANGE THE CHANNEL WHEN SHE IS ON. MAYBE THE NETWORKS WILL GET THE MESSAGE. PLEASE NO MORE PALIN!!!

Why would you give billions to the auto companies when there is no plan for them to get out of the mess they created?

Won't they just burn through the cash and come back to us in six months for another $ 25 billion?

Let's hear some comments on this before Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi spend us into oblivion and then tax us to death to pay for it.

I didn't read the article but why on earth would anyone listen to anything she has to say at this point? Please, I'm sure there are better people in the Republican party to present informed and clearly articulated positions.

When does Palin the notice that her 15 minutes are up? This lady loves to hear herself speak, it's just to bad that nothing she says makes any sense. THANKS ALOT ALASAKA, convicted felons and idiots God only knows what else you people have up there. If you really cared about this country you would keep it up there.

There she goes again…with her ideological babble that says nothing specific. Sarah, if you want to be on the national stage – try speaking with specificity and intelligence for a change. Whoops..I forgot, that would mean you'd need to read, understand, anaylze and formulate policy.

Ok how about…please go back to Alaska.

And they said the Media was obsessed with Obama.

I-don't-think-so….

"Actually, Governor Palin is continuing to defend herself about that clothes issue. She says she has never even stepped foot in a Neiman Marcus. In fact, she thought Neiman Marcus was the president of the Philippines."

This lady must be on something! She is really a squirrel looking for a nut! I guess she found someone who will throw her a few.

OK Sarah, just what would you do? She follows majority script period. This women hasn't a clue what to do with the economy. Let the auto industry die, right now before Christmas! If Obama did that, he would be facing these dimwitted Palin, Hannity, Limbaught airheads for not bailing them out. If the right wing talk points wasn't so predictable it would be a little more entertaining. They are like a really bad movie that has no plot, no ending, just predictable.

Palin is a STALKER! Look what she does, she first talks about Obama, slams him then say she's not talking about him then slams him again then adorn him.

She's a Stalker and should be issued a restraining order!

WHO CARES?

Enough already. She needs to go back to Wasilla. Maybe President-elect Obama can appoint her "Secretary of Watching Russia."

"perhaps even states now who may be standing in line with their hands out despite, perhaps, some poor management decisions on their part that helped tank our economy,"

The only governor I'm aware of who has come out asking for Federal help in public is Arnold. You know, the governator. The REBOOBLICAN governor of California.

Sarah, honey, we can't miss you until you go away.

I don't think she really can speak to knowing economic issues since there is a question as to what she did with the town she was mayor of and their debt issues. From what I heard, there was no debt before she was mayor and then there was one when she left.

She needed to speak a little more forcefully with her running mate. The fact that he suspended his campaign to do lobby other members of Congress for this bailout that she doesn't like. Maybe she should have thought more about being the running mate.

Wow, an actual, real substantive post, compared to the flimsy article earlier in regards to her morning press conference.

Oh for Gods sake, who cares what she thinks already. Hasnt she had her 15 minutes of fame already?

ENOUGH!

She needs to criticize herself for being a divisive politician.

What the heck is she talking about?
She clearly has absolutely no idea what she is talking about.

"Republicans addicted to opium"?
"What and when is enough enough"?

And criticizing the media for wanting to, "dissect the past" and "play the pundits role" for the 2012 campaign? What would she have the media do? Talk about how wonderful she is for the next 4 years?

OH GOD!!! LOOKS LIKE THE GOP IS TRYING TO CREATE A HILLIARY…. WELL NEWS FOR YA… PALIN IS TOO STUPID TO BE IN HILLIARY'S LEAGUE. EVEN IF OBAMA DOES NOT COME INTO A SECOND TERM, HILLIARY WILL WIN THE PRESIDENCY. GOP, YOU ARE STILL DOOMED NO MATTER HOW MANY IDIOTS YOU SHOVE ONTO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

I AM SMART AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!

…I see dumb people…

Yuk – are all our governors so dumb that she has to speak for them? If so, we've got to get them out of office ASAP !!

The "bailout" seems to be in danger of becoming a "handout" to banks and other interests. What happened to helping the people in trouble? Sounds like Palin's on target.

Palin has to learn that she lost the campaigne and she is not relevant anymore…… hey Palin IT IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes the campaign is over and the GOP clearly lost. Stop all the yesterday's news about the Avon Lady and all her talking and talking.

I say just switch the channel anytime she is on…I have a future to be part of rather than listen to her blah blah blah

SHUT UP ABOUT THIS AIRHEAD…. NO ONE CARES WHAT SHE "THINKS."

Wow ! Another article on Sarah Palin,just another reason that cnn is becoming redundant. From Wolf Blitzer in the "situation room" to legend in his own mind Lou Dobbs. Don't get me started on Geriatric Larry King who hasn't asked a hard question in his life. Give me msnbc any day .

Desperate, party of 1

NEWSFLASH

Nov. 4 2012 – After 4 years of a failed Obama/Biden/Clinton administration, Palin defeats Obama for the 2012 presidency, Hail to the Victor!!!

Go away already. Steven's is now trailing so there goes your senate seat. I guess you could say God shut that door in your face.

Please stop doing stories on her every comment, I beg of you. This media obsession can't be healthy.

Please stop the ongoing media coverage of this irrelevant person. You are a news channel, right? I'd like some real news, please.

After the campaign, I was ready to forgive John McCain for any transgressions, especially given the gracious and unifying concession speech. Now I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive him for bringing this uneducated, inarticulate woman into the national spotlight. Looks like we're going to be subject to her innane, ill- informed opinions for some time to come…

ENOUGH of her….vome on CNN…let her fade out.
I am so tired of her.
She is not news….end of discussion.

Why is this woman's opinion even news anymore??

For you people who love this Sarah Palin keep on loving her. I love her for being the idiot for the GOP. I want her to be the face of the GOP it will make America better, because the Republicans will not make it back to the White House with her running. HIP HIP Hooray for Sarah Palin and her dumb dumb followers. DEB I hope you are reading this.

ENOUGH OF PALIN ALREADY!!!! PLEASE….THIS IS OVERKILL!!!!

Oh please this lady has no credibility nor do we care what she says. Just let her go back to Alaska and be governor. When she has something intelligent to finally say and gains some experience then maybe people will take her seriously. I am sorry Palin the current Republicans are going to be the last ones to lead on anything ethical.

I have faith in the new administration and they still have over 2 months to do things the right way and think out a plan to fix our country when Obama takes office in Jan.

Why does Sarah not go back to Alaska and let those who were elected to national posts of leadership take care of the economy and national issues. Enough already of this women throwing herself in the limelight and blaming the media for her missteps and blunders.

Before Palin starts talking about rational discussions, how about her having rational knowledge of the issues? Clueless…

This Palin woman is so dumb.
Now, can we get on to some real news???

are we really going to have to watch this Skank LIAR for the next 4 years? God I am so sick of her.

GO AWAY ALREADY!

I'm so proud Obama was elected POTUS

You guys are soooooo obsessed with Palin, and you wonder why people like her? You can't get enough of her!!!

Please, please, go away. Just go home. You're actually making me physically sick.
