ENOUGH, CNN!!!

Please stop your promotion of this failed candidate just to drum up "business."

It's beneath you.

SORRY TO WERE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR CAROL AND ALL HER LIKEBLE FRIENDS. WHO THINK LIKE HER. SURE LET'S ALL CARRY GUNS. IGNORANT MORONS.

Susan Steinhaus   December 26th, 2008 11:53 am ET

WHY DOESN'T SHE JUST ACCIDENTLY SHOOT HERSELF SO I DON'T HAVE TO SEE HER FACE OR HEAR HER AWFUL VOICE ANY MORE.

You Libs are the biggest hypocrits….can't wait for your reactions to the Sen. Princess Caroline coronation.

I'm sorry it's just funny that PA independent" would criticize someone for spelling, yet he can't even manage to spell maybe. Note to self, before I critique another’s spelling, spell check my own.

california   December 26th, 2008 11:47 am ET

Oh please. Haven't we seen enough of her? I'll bet the turkey execution missed this edition! I'd rather see Tina Fey.

mr.bill   December 26th, 2008 11:47 am ET

The Palin haters are pretty amusing. The Obama lovers are quite delusional. The years of Obama's cocaine habit have destroyed much of his cerebral capacity ( the same thing happened to George W. Bush). Palin, if she chooses to run in 2012, will beat Obama because Obama's term as president might as well be called Jimmy Carter Part II.

Toby in Illinois   December 26th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Take heart, reasonable people. With all the thousands of calendars out there, each appealing to its small nook, if each of her supporters bought one, and if she still only came in second, it's not quite so bad as it looks.
Who's on first?

jack   December 26th, 2008 11:46 am ET

She's a moron and so are the people that buy this calendar. I hope she runs again so we have more funny snl to watch.

Brian from West Virginia   December 26th, 2008 11:46 am ET

What, Obama can be marketed to the hilt but not Palin? Get a grip.

JIMBISCIELLO   December 26th, 2008 11:46 am ET

THIS IS THE HOOLIGAN FAMILY AT BEST

John   December 26th, 2008 11:46 am ET

It just goes to show how stupid all these Sarah supporters are. Thankfully we have Obama to look forward to.

anthony   December 26th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Obama supporters,

Stop piling up on Palin. If the Republicans think she is their future, so much the better. Let's face it, Obama needs more than one term to fix the mess Bush is leaving behind.

MEL   December 26th, 2008 11:44 am ET

to: were not your friends. you belong in the pile of garbage. like Stevens from AK. clean the mess that for 8 years we endure???? she could start by cleanign her own mess.

cnn-Cnn'er   December 26th, 2008 11:44 am ET

For the Left ..

"I got 2 of 'em. They're great for target practice".

For the right ..

"So where's Joe Biden's calendar? Joe who?"

For the middle

"Can't you folks just get along? It's simply a calendar"

JB   December 26th, 2008 11:43 am ET

CNN-

You really are disgusting! You allow some of these posts destroying this woman, and yet, I make comments about the farleft being closed minded and disgusting by attacking anyone who disagrees with them (like calling people who voted for McCain racists), and nope, not gonna post it. You are onesided, and are clearly attempting to promote your party. All bad things about those you disagree with, fine, but any sort of conflicting thoughts, and you refuse to allow. And it has gotten worse each month. Your infactuation with Obama is stepping over the line for an agency that is supposed to be reporting news. When "How Obama won" comes out you are going to look like chumps. And the anger that you allow to be expressed about Republicans and Palin is lacking any sort of responsibilty. People here are ripping Palin her apart for her daughters soon to be mother in law, and you clearly don't have a problem with it. Yet, how much reporting did you do on Obama's cocaine use. Wolf actually said on air he thought that subject was "off limits". ????? How is that? Because you refused to report anything negative about this guy. Or the fact taht he won his first primary by kicking all other dems out. Did you investiagte and report that, and let voters know. Of course not. See ya. I am now moving to MSNBC and Fox.

C Spurgeon   December 26th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Just go away…..

Larry from RI   December 26th, 2008 11:43 am ET

So sad, if this is what has become of the GOP then they truly are racing each other to the bottom – no wonder the old timers have been leaving the party in droves!
The comments posted here by her supporters speak volumes about our failed public education system.
Maybe the pretend Gov. will run with Joe the pretend plumber and ensure their party's irrelevance!

Bob   December 26th, 2008 11:42 am ET

I love being an Independent so I can watch the idiots on the left and the right make utter fools of themselves on stories like this. You don't like this woman, fine. But posting stupid comments that are fueled by hatred of another human shows just how lost our great country has become. If Pailn was the poster child of the left, I would see this same nonsense from the right. Grow up people. Get a life. Focus on making this country better. Posting dribble about how much you hate or despise another human because of a political affiliation shows how ignorant and uneducated you really are. FOCUS PEOPLE!! FOCUS!!!!!

BTW….CNN, please get back to journalism. Having a stupid story like this on your website shows your agenda. You are the Fox News of the left. Please stop.

Steve   December 26th, 2008 11:42 am ET

I do not live in the US, so I wear no US political stripes. I have to say that the world watched in complete amazement the numerous mis-steps the current president made and people outside the US are baffled the House did not attempt to impeach Bush! Clinton was roasted for petty reasons in comparison to what has gone on in the past 8 years. Then along comes Palin. I shake my head in disbelief that the education system in the most powerful nation on earth could have failed the country this badly! I mean c'mon, How could could so many US citizens actually think this individual was capable of running a country! Thank GOD rational thinking reigned in the recent election and you elected a president with a brain in their head! Pailin just needs to fade to black and the press should cease coverage of an individual who was "supremely unqualified for the office to which she aspired".

Richard Rohde   December 26th, 2008 11:42 am ET

You notice how CNN leaves these articles open for so long so that all the loving, libs can make sure they get their venomous, hate filled comments published? They who drank the George Soros made Kool Aid, love to call those of us who can think for ourselves, uneducated. You can't make this stuff up folks. Look at the joke they played on us, we now have Hussein and the Chicago mobsters running this country.

MEL   December 26th, 2008 11:42 am ET

Is she trying to encourage people or kids (students) to carry guns. incredible. kids are expell from school from bringing toy guns. Is this what the American spirit is about???? what is wrong with this picture. Palin you're garbage.

Marie   December 26th, 2008 11:40 am ET

Brad from Illinois your racist remarks are because your gal didn't win.
Doggonit I bertcha .You better enjoy that calendar and while your at it order one for 2012,2016 oh what the hell for 2020 because if she keeps making a mockery out of herself it won't be because she's vice president or president it will be for the the best comedian every year

youngpalinfan   December 26th, 2008 11:40 am ET

Why do people hate this woman? She's everything this country needs! She is courageous, honest, sincere, strong, loving, and faithful. I could go on and on about her. Sarah Palin has everything it takes to be president! And you bet'cha I'm gonna do everything I can to see her win in 2012 if she runs. Sarah is loved by so many. It's a shame how some people hate her. What is there to hate? Stop believing the rumors!

PALIN 2012! Great calendar, by the way ;)

Miss Mellie   December 26th, 2008 11:40 am ET

Why are people so outraged over this? Some of these comments on here are truly juvenile. When did we become this nation of intolerant, closed-minded people. Those of you who don't like this calender – don't buy one, after all, you are not the intended audience, but leave your rude, intolerant comments to yourselves.

James   December 26th, 2008 11:39 am ET

Wonder how many of these losers have ever been elected to anything? Of course there welcome to their tiny little opinions, no matter how stupid and childish. Its a calendar you morons, get a life.

Arlene Illinois   December 26th, 2008 11:39 am ET

And to think she almost was our Vice President! "Wink Wink"

Santa MI   December 26th, 2008 11:38 am ET

Wow.. who will buy Obama's calendar?
Palin 2012
Hate it or love it, she is cute.

elvera   December 26th, 2008 11:38 am ET

No one in their right mind would buy a calendar or anything with Sarah Palin. She is the stupidest and most arrogant politician on the earth. Whoever is buying Palin’s calendar must have serious mental and/or emotional problems.

elizabeth   December 26th, 2008 11:37 am ET

The fact she would even do something in such poor taste as a calendar and especially with a cover picture of her with a rifle over her shoulder are 2 good reasons she should nevery be allowed to run for president.

Big town US voter   December 26th, 2008 11:37 am ET

small town america voter December 26th, 2008 12:29 am ET

Yeah! … 2012.. she's not going away people. Someday the elitists will understand that it doesn't take Harvard colors or gold spoons or Hollywood 'luv' to be the leader to take America forward. And ck your facts she did not graduate from Iowa… and she worked her way through college… no mommy/daddy/affirmative action scholarships either!

It sounds like small town wants to run for president… BTW, also pls check your own facts, she had to go through SEVERAL schools before she got her bachelors from Iowa in JOURNALISM = pea brained anti-intellectual I can do it all metality!

ATTENTION SARAH PALIN HATERS!!:

Please calm down a bit, your starting to act either foolish or mentally challenged. If you suspect the later, you may consider seeking a physicians advice.

THAN YOU.

MFK   December 26th, 2008 11:26 am ET

It escapes my understanding as to why anyone would want a calender of her. Maybe she thinks that because she is related to Princess Diana that she would wanted.

Now if John Edwards came out with a calender I could fully understand that. There is just something strange about the calender in general.

Richard   December 26th, 2008 11:25 am ET

I can see the Obots are out in full force today. Sheesh people!

Next time, why don't you people try breaking your pills in half?

I'm reading these liberal comments and laughing my "you know what" off! GO SARAH

rex   December 26th, 2008 11:17 am ET

Do you think she leaves her gun at the door when she goes into her office. Please leave her to run our US.. This is sad she won't go away, she is rasing money for 2012 all ready. Women WAKE UP!!! She is not us and if you think she is and you relate to her we are in trouble

rosa marrero   December 26th, 2008 11:16 am ET

Sarah is over and done please no more stupid news about her

rosa marrero   December 26th, 2008 11:15 am ET

Sarah is over and done please no more news about her.

Doug - Dallas   December 26th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Hey Brad-IL,

Your comment not only proves you're a racist but completely ignorant. Just the kind of person we don't need in this country!

We're NOT "your friends"!!!   December 26th, 2008 11:13 am ET

This is just wrong, so wrong. I do hope she runs again. She's one of the best things the Dems have going for them, except GWB!

Carol   December 26th, 2008 11:13 am ET

I got one for Christmas and I LOVE IT! My cousin who lives in Palmer AK drove to Wasilla and purchased it at Sarah's favorite coffee shop. Best gift I received. I think she is a no-nonsence person and doesn't "owe" anyone anything. Hope she makes it to the Senate some day and helps clean up Washington.

Jay   December 26th, 2008 11:11 am ET

This fool and her image are both serving as ongoing proof that PT Barnum was indeed prescient with his statement that 'one never went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.' It's actually quite sad to see/know that millions of people truly, honestly think that this ignorant dolt could and should be our leader. Seriously… if she ever somehow takes power, you can bet that the United States as we know it will cease to exist. She's an idiot and a self-caricature that way too many people take seriously. Haven't we learned enough during that last eight years? The president should NOT be 'just like me.' The president should not be stupid, ignorant and/or intellectually incurious. Pathetic.

Irma in North Carolina   December 26th, 2008 11:10 am ET

Who in the heck wants to look at her 365 days out of the year. Of course there will be a few republicans that will look at her every day. I see enough of her during the election and her picture is still splashed on the internet.

PA independent   December 26th, 2008 11:08 am ET

"Ed Regnez December 26th, 2008 12:47 am ET"
"Sarah is a great lady.From all these nagative comments it shows

Ed, spell N-E-G-A-T-I-V-E right and then ,aybe you can talk about the "dumb" americans. lol No wonder you are a Palin supporter… uneducated!

Jim   December 26th, 2008 11:08 am ET

She's hot. Very hot!!!
She'd get my vote. I'm one of those who find politics amusing nowadays. A real joke. So you might want someone interesting and nice to look at.

labman57 December 26th, 2008 12:05 am ET

On this Christmas Day, Sarah Palin wishes to express her great appreciation for being so blessed to be thankful for this great nation of ours….that she appreciates….and is thankful for…which makes her so blessed….to be able to appreciate our great nation…of ours…of which she is a part…of.
——————————————————–
labman57: You do a great Palin impression!!! Watch out Tina Fey…

ran   December 26th, 2008 11:02 am ET

CNN she has had more then her 15 min. Please show us our troops or report on how they are doing. You know what CNN make a calendar with our troops in it. That would really sale.

Just a good old dog   December 26th, 2008 11:02 am ET

When I saw this article about the Sarah Palin calendar, and noticed it was opened up to reader comments, I thought to myself…."Oh boy. The Palin-haters who lurk on the cnn.com message boards are going to go NUTS over this."

I knew it would generate the usual insults and rage.

Anthony Smith   December 26th, 2008 11:02 am ET

Typical gun toting Republican! They love wars, guns, and death penalties, but are supposed to be loving conservative Christians. After the last 8 years, the Republicans should be hiding their faces not strutting their stuff! Pathetic!!!

Wildwood Crest, NJ

CH in Maine   December 26th, 2008 11:01 am ET

If she has to be popular for something I guess it could be worse. At least you don't have to listen to a calendar.

Steve   December 26th, 2008 10:57 am ET

The people publishing this calendar should be ashamed of themselves. It's VERY bad manners to make fun of the mentally-challenged. What's next, a calendar that has a different village idiot each month?

Anna Khonda   December 26th, 2008 10:57 am ET

Sick Sick Sick – this woman has the brain of a French Fry and she still shows up in the media – IBGB!

Little Hawk   December 26th, 2008 10:57 am ET

Obama will win in 2012 and by 2016, Palin will be a dumpy, middle-aged broad and will have lost her luster among the ignorant minority.

Art Michaelson   December 26th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Probably will hang on the TOILET wall of every plumber .

Joe   December 26th, 2008 10:54 am ET

This woman ran for vice-president only….and still people talk about her and discuss their hatred of her….YOU PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO GET LIVES…

JP   December 26th, 2008 10:53 am ET

I have enough too many men for presidents! It is time to change for lady for the president! It dont matter if it Dem or Rep. We need woman for president for once!

Brad   December 26th, 2008 10:50 am ET

I still say she looks like Peggy on "King of the Hill".

Anyone who thinks she will win in 2012 should step off the planet now.

MSG TO GOP SHEEP: You are wasting the oxygen people who can navigate abstract thought are using.

Faust   December 26th, 2008 10:49 am ET

You people are such haters. You sicken me

Steve R   December 26th, 2008 10:48 am ET

Love the comments from those that love her. She's a woman who couldn't raise her daughter to age 18 without her being knocked up at age 15 by a drug dealers son from her own small town where everybody knows everybody. How did she not know? That makes her a "great lady" and ready for 2012 God help us if that happens, but she'll probably be under indictment by then anyway like most US governors . Take a look at the history of the US presidency and you'll see the presidents who are least capable are all Governors, not senators. I wouldn't allow that to occur in my house, but her backers thinks it's ok in the White House. Funniest comments ever, keep em comin, gotcha wink wink. I'm a A Suburban Moderate Republican who is amazed how ignorant the RNC is. With internet voting increasing and minorities still leaning democratic, I thing the GOP cannot survive another mistake like Palin. If we put our eggs in her basket as our new "leader" I predict the GOP will not have national significance ever again. She is certifiable!!

Joe   December 26th, 2008 10:48 am ET

Both presidential tickets this year were complete jokes, both lacked the experience/intelligence that we really need in this country now. But, at least Obama had a vision, let's hope he can deliver.

There's nothing wrong with putting out a calendar of yourself for the new year — some photographer will make a lot of money off of it and it will keep her in the news for about 3 days and then it will be gone.

After January 20th, Sarah Palin will be forgotten.

Lonesome Rhodes   December 26th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Fans of Sarah Palin — please watch the movie "A Face in the Crowd" starring Andy Griffith. Or, read up on Huey Long. Then take a fresh look at Sarah.

Gloria - Minnesota   December 26th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Oh, please—who would want to look at her picture 365 days in 2009?? These people are nuts!!!!!!

Adrian Veidt   December 26th, 2008 10:46 am ET

14:48 of her 15 minutes of fame have expired, thankfully.

Jordan   December 26th, 2008 10:44 am ET

I said it before and I'll say it again. As long as Palin is the poster-child of the Republican brand, the party is done. D.O.N.E. America has yelled from the rooftops that they are sick and tired of people of average intelligence with hypocritical policies in high office. The next few years should be very interesting for the fate of the Republican party.

Shake The Baby!   December 26th, 2008 10:42 am ET

I am actually very grateful for Sarah Palin and a whole lot of the rest of you should be too.

There were quite a few republicans that switched sides and voted for Obama because of Sarah Palin. Had there been no Sarah Palin on the McCain ticket, we very well might not be celebrating an Obama victory and this country trying to rebuild itself after the Bush debacle.

Don   December 26th, 2008 10:42 am ET

Gosh Batman!!! We could get one and put in up in the bathroom. That way we would think about her everytime we………………………….

chrissy   December 26th, 2008 10:41 am ET

CNN When did you become a tabloid news station? This is news HOW?

Lil Abner   December 26th, 2008 10:39 am ET

We've just suffered through eight years of one ignoramus from Dogpatch USA. You'd expect that people would learn their lesson, but, no, there are still people who want to elect another one.

AEK   December 26th, 2008 10:38 am ET

If the November photo is her in front of a turkey being bled out from that television interview, I gotta get me one of these!

Bri   December 26th, 2008 10:35 am ET

What I find amusing is that she will make more money off this than any of you losers most likely make in a year.

Now that's funny!!!!!!!!!

Jack   December 26th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Amazing such hatred! What happened to the liberal party. Alll you are doing is bringing politics to a new low. And, turnabout will be fair play. Maybe some of you should start being a bit more humble, and open to other ideas. And CNN, you are so careful about mean spirited comments, and yet, you let everything go when it comes to Palin. Biased much?

JUNE   December 26th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Go Girl, these people are just jealous of you, they are just blinded by race, you will be our next President, keep faith

JD   December 26th, 2008 10:33 am ET

Such hatred from the liberals. Such characteristically un-Christmas like behavior I've come to expect. And that CNN publishes it only once again demonstrates where their personal proclivities lie.

Carrie   December 26th, 2008 10:33 am ET

" Sarah is a great lady.From all these nagative comments it shows
again how dumb you Americans are."

Sorry Ed, Americans are not dumb. If you think that way, get out of this country and move to a less dumb one.

Jack   December 26th, 2008 10:32 am ET

Miro- so it is OK to make fun of a soon to be mother in law. You are a vile person. Do you see republicans going after Obama's drug use? Remember he did cocaine. You people continue to disgust. The liberal party is a shell of it's former self.

And by the way, who cares what a soon to be mother in law does? ANd if you care, if you had half a brain you would be more concerned with the actions of your president.

anonymous   December 26th, 2008 10:31 am ET

Keep up the good work.

Chut Pata   December 26th, 2008 10:31 am ET

You will shoot your foot, you idiot. Learn to hold the run the right way (skywards) because calling yourself a hunter. Probably the only way you know how to shoot is from helicopter, and that is why you hold the gun facing down.

Please run for president in 2012. That would make Obama's life easy and he can continue to focus on screwed up economy.

Carrie   December 26th, 2008 10:30 am ET

So is November's photo of her standing in front of a turkey being slaughtered?

Stacey   December 26th, 2008 10:29 am ET

Palin is disgusting.

Chris in MI   December 26th, 2008 10:29 am ET

She's insignificant now. (Always has been) Bury her in an igloo and forget about her. We have….

This post relates to the Ruben Navarette article about Palin..Can't seem to get a post on there..Anyway.Ruben, the last thing we need is another divisive line in the sand, in your case it's urban v rural. Nonsense. Sarah Palin doesn't understand small town america, she uses it as a tool. Most Republicans rejected her because she was wholly incompetent and unprepared for her role on a national level. There are school districts in California larger than her state, and her record smacked of nepotism; additionally, "small town America" was basically horrified that someone who couldn't properly raise her minor daughter to age 18 without a pregnancy at the hands of a drug dealers son might be called upon to lead America. The there was the pathetic winking, and gotcha's and Joe Six pack and joe the plumber and the maverick spin that we all realized was just pandering. Small town America (except in Alaska) saw right through her, just as your whiny verbiage about her above also seems shallow and misguided. What about where most of America live, the SUBURBS, are we small town or urban? You seem to ignore that demographic. Amazing what CNN will put on their home page during the holidays..simply the worst analysis i have read in decades!!!

I'm certainly no fan of the Palin-Cheney-et.al. Axis of the Fourth Reich wannabes. However, don't all you negative responders think your reactions will only increase calendar sales?
Good on her for selling a few calendars to the gun nuts, who now have less money for ammo.

She is only liked by the ignorant NRAers and the brain dead bible thumping right wingers. Fortunately, they are in decreasing numbers as the years go by. Hopefully, by 2012, she and Joe the Plumber will be only bad memories.

BB   December 26th, 2008 10:22 am ET

This is not Sarah putting out the calander, you people just try to make something out of EVERYTHING!! It is just in fun! Did you not notice the big MEDIA hype over Obama shirtless in Hawaii? Come on people lighten up! I bet the people who wrote negative posts about this calander did not respond on the photos of Obama on the beach without his shirt. What's the big deal about that? Real important news huh?

Tim E   December 26th, 2008 10:22 am ET

If Iranians can toss shoes at Bush posters, surely Americans can toss moose pies at Sarah's calendar. A far better idea is to place Ahminejehad's face in countless urinals across America.

Thank you Sarah!   December 26th, 2008 10:21 am ET

This has to be one of the best gag-gifts I could ever get someone. I'm sure many of the people who are buying these are doing it as a joke. I'm confident there aren't that many out there who are ignorant enough to look up to this twit!

Wally   December 26th, 2008 10:21 am ET

…and Sarah, you want to be taken seriously? I am thankful she continues to show such a glaring lack of judgement. Seriously folks, remember this when she rears her ugly head in the future and runs for POTUS. This woman is so tragic.

Amy in Florida   December 26th, 2008 10:19 am ET

Sarah Palin should be ashamed of the way she ran for VP, but something tells me she is too much of a narcissist to have any self-reflection in that regard at all. Being a "folksy moron" may have worked for Bush, but I don't think it will work for Sarah….we Americans are SO tired of that crap.

She deserves all this venom and more   December 26th, 2008 10:19 am ET

Great woman, you must have a small selection to choose from, maybe only the small town Palin is from in Alaska

There are many woman who would make a great President, this woman shouldn't be an aide to a elementary school teacher (they have more political knowledge and worldly experience than she does)

The republicans have stirred this type of commenting up the last two decades, I and you should not be surprised that the democrats have started doing it, call it self preservation, turn about is fair play, doesn't matter

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and try getting out and getting some sun and fresh air, the computer is not the excercise your mind and body needs

You're kidding, right? Sarah Palin is another Cheney only without a personal fortune made deeper through politics. But give her time and opportunity and she'll give us the same Bush whacked we have now. This great country has become obsessed with the Britney SPears mentality – making idiots into role models.

Just read the comments. Hate-fest writers, get over yourselves.

Whether you are conservative to liberal, there must be balance.

George   December 26th, 2008 10:13 am ET

The level of hatred and emotion displayed by some on this board is evidence to the intolerance and poor emotional development of the posters. Why so much hatred towards someone who might believe differently than you. She is not a criminal nor is she trying to take something from you. Apparently the issue is you disagree with her but America is home for all sorts of ideas and should be a place to have civil discourse among ourselves without these nonsensical personal attacks. Ms Palin seems to be a respectful individual and seems to be a very capable woman. She was put in a spot by McCain that she was not ready for; her real fault was not having the experience of national and international politics and exposure.

I celebrate her celebrity status and hope that someday if she chooses and is ready for it she is elected to a national office. I would think a person who is as ambitious and driven as her would make a good national politician

To all of the intolerant and hateful people you should spend some time looking inward to where and why does this hate come from, you will be better for it.

Have a happy and safe New Years, a wish to better karma for everyone in the country for 2009.

Brian MacDougall   December 26th, 2008 10:13 am ET

I don't know what's worse– the subject, or the bad photography.

It just goes to show what Mencken said: Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. And Sarah just proves THAT over and over!

Chris   December 26th, 2008 10:11 am ET

I can tell this is moderated by left wing CNN allowing these morons to bash Palin.

Had it!   December 26th, 2008 10:11 am ET

Why are you still reporting about her? Most of us have had enough and certainly don't want to see her daily on a calendar. The only thing worse would be to hear her non-ending non-sensible sentences. Enough already. I'd rather have a calendar with our President-elect at the beach. That's change I look forward to. Ha Ha!

Mr. Lugo   December 26th, 2008 10:10 am ET

Palin and Cheney should go hunting together. That way they can shoot each other in the face. Cheney to Palin: "Whoops, I thought you were a wild pit bull so I fired."

How about Animal Planet…It's Me or the Dog? Tune in at 6pm, maybe you might get a better understanding or maybe not…The USA has a lot of big shoes to fill in 2009, focus your attention in a positive USA way for a change….. before the political mug slinging…life is too short to dwell on the negative…gue wee, pretty sad.

From one life member of the NRA to another, you go girl. This country needs more people not afraid to stand up and speak for their rights. If we lose our second amendment rights, what will be next, our first amendment rights. Just think, a media controlled by the goverment. But wait, don't we have that already. God, Guts and Guns made this country free and it might come to that again sooner than we think. Wake up America!

riddy d   December 26th, 2008 9:52 am ET

Sarah is gorgeous. That is one of hte many things that drive small meek liberal men crazy. Generally speaking, they are scared of girls. They prefer girls that look like boys. And boys in general.

karen fromboston   December 26th, 2008 9:52 am ET

This calendar could never have been produced without express permission from Sarah Palin. The very fact that she approved the production of this sleazy, self-absorbed, narcissistic calendar shows what an idiot she truly is. Talk about a self-indulgent woman!! How could anyone ever possibly think that this woman is fit to represent our country????????

I like how no one is talking about all of the Barack Obama crap that is out there such as bobble head dolls and posters and DVDs. Seems like you can't even go into a store nowadays without seeing a shirt or something with Obama on it. If you want to talk about obsession, let's look at the "Messiah" first. Even the news organizations are selling DVDs and books of Obama and yet they are not in the tank for him…no way. He is more of an idol than a president and that is dangerous when people start worshipping him as if he were a deity.

Scott   December 26th, 2008 9:50 am ET

It amazes me at the lack of creativity among those that oppose her. I have read countless comments about "druggie in-laws" however no body seems to recall Obama admitting to drug use in college. The fact of the matter is; I am not an Obama fan (I'm sure I'll be crucified for that one) however he was elected by the people and he deserves the respect of the people until proven otherwise. I believe that Palin is a great woman and would have no issue with her being elected at all.

jack.florida   December 26th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Face it if she where trying to get a top corporate job like CEO.With her education she would be lucky to get entry level.And it showed in her interviews.The right wing will never get it.But I hope they keep her around.She is entertaining.

Your going to insult Palin when our First Lady stood up in front of a crowd in her purple and yellow dress and said:

"For the first time in my life I am proud of my country."

We are the greatest nation on earth and have ALOT to be proud of. Just visit some other countries or try living in them and you will come back with an entirely new perspective on our INCREDIBLE country as well as the merits of capitalism.

Palin is a hard working, honest person who is proud to be an American.

Yes, I'd take that over USA hating people like Obama and Biden any day of the week.

Andy   December 26th, 2008 9:46 am ET

I went out and bought a bunch of pictures of Obama and am using them as a dart board…..oh wait that would make me a racist in the eyes of most on this blog. Funny how they are quick to accuse people of racism to defend their "Messiah" but can spew whatever kind of hatred about Sarah that they want without any repercussions.

If this person is selected to represent the republican party in 2012, then I could never vote republican again. The party has lost their focus and direction and there is no way she could have anything new to offer.

I'm hoping that all those left wing blogggers that keep hoping for Sarah Palin to be the GOP pick for 2012, get their wish. They seem to have forgotten that running as second fiddle to John McCain Palin got them 57,000,000 votes after only two months of campaigning. I predict that Sarah Palin will sweep the nation and become the first woman President of the US, so wipe those smiles from your liberal lips jerks.

David   December 26th, 2008 9:40 am ET

How is this news? Really? This is like the “Paris Hilton B.S.” all over again.

You, “the media” are responsible for keeping Palin in our thoughts because you won’t let “it die” and report real news. This is like the Blogiovich case: The media has spent the past 2 weeks (+) focused on very little else, and what more have we learned from the extended coverage? NOTHING! No matter what anyone’s opinion is, the FBI and Fitzpatrick need to continue along their set path. In the mean time, Bush has raised the level of acceptable levels of cyanide in our drinking water – but instead of focusing on this significant issue, we talk about the latest distractions, such as Palin, Blagojevich, & Hilton… There are REAL things happening! Important things! It’s about time (well, way over due actually) for the media to become responsible, unbiased & dedicated to reporting real news…

I am in a quandary. Love the gun over the shoulder picture. Every Democrat and all the real independents will have one more reason to not vote for her. So a great calendar, keep it up.

On the other hand this is one more nail in the coffin for her not running in '12 or '16. Darn. I really want the RNC to spend a lot of energy and money on her campaigns. It is the world's chance to get rid of one ugly group, this parasitic political party.

Ernie in LA   December 26th, 2008 9:38 am ET

To "Sent by God". That Grapefruit is a Governor and you are not. I don't like her either but she is put down way too much. I am a life long Democrat but had to vote republican this time. Obama is bad news. It will come out. His race has nothing to do with it. He is on a mission and it will be his way. The world is changing fast and it is going to slap us in the face. It's just a matter of time.

You people have serious problems! First off, Sarah Palin didn't put this calendar out someone trying to cash in on the celebrity of Sarah Palin is going to get the big fat check. Will it go to charity? I think if Sarah Palin has a say in it most if not all will go to various charities which are hurting due to the economy.

As to throwing darts at it….laughing…it is totally time to grow up and put the campaign behind. Don't you all think Sarah Palin knows she isn't VP? She is aware Barak Obama won!!!

As to her family…take the words of President Elect Obama to heart when he said families are off limits. This includes Sarah Palin's family as well as his.

Jeff Artis   December 26th, 2008 9:28 am ET

No, I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin. But, don't laugh. There was the same outcry a few years ago about another so called "dumb" Republican who didn't know his facts, as well as being "dumb" in other areas. His name was Ronald Reagan.

Let her be, there are 1000's dying across the globe, don't so fixed on negative BS. Break a nail, lost a job, over-weight, lost a relationship?
Get a life? Think positive for a royal change..looking in the mirror works great before you sling a shot at anyone….esp ones you don't really know & don't have the ambition to really discover anything about a postive popular person in your lifetime…unless you simply enjoy the negative aspects of life…get real with yourself 1st.

It's funny how liberals/democrats are so vocal about being "green", caring for the poor, and just generally being smarter than everyone else. You then stick a woman like Palin in the spotlight, and the claws and fangs come out. There is hatred here, talk of her lack of intelligence, and disrespect of her family members. Really, it's not much different than the mentality of a playground bully that I see in all of these posts. I just wonder, if they can make this much fun of a person like Sarah Palin, what do they think of that homeless guy begging for money? Obama, your messiah, would be so touched to read all of these posts. Liberalism= hypocracy.

Ashley said: "Whether or not you guys agree with a candidate, why do you have to be so mean and angry? All you have to do is to disagree with her politics. Why be nasty? Is this a Dem's way of dealing with the opponent– By being pure evil?"

– Hey, Ashley. Tell that to Rush Limbaugh, he invented the game. Or maybe you don't remember Limbaugh calling Chelsea Clinton "the White House dog"? She was 13 at the time. Nice, huh?

right offhand, I'd say any right-winger who whines about cheap shots at Palin but worships at the altar of Limbaugh/O'Reilly et al is nothing more than a hypocrite.

Earlier in the year it was all Britney and Paris busting through the top ten on the CNN news roster — day after day. This is just another "public figure" making some hay while the market's hot.

It's all for sale — in or out of office! She's an "item" in symbiosis with the craven infotainment media. That's as apple pie as America!

Just be glad it's not a MyCane calendar!

Alan Combs   December 26th, 2008 3:39 am ET

I used to be impressed with Obama but not anymore. I was informed
his speach writer is a 27 year old white boy.
Why does he need a white boy to do his talking? How can I respect him?
He sold out. I voted for a brotha. if I wanted to vote for a white boy, I would've voted republican. Mistakes and all, at least Palin speaks for herself.
The only thing I know about obama is he can read good.

To all you democrats that think she has no brain because she graduated from a state college instead of an Ivy League School and took 5 years must think todays college grads are not that smart since it taked them 5 to 6 years to graduate. And Yes I do have something against the Ivy League Schools who brain wash their students with their "Liberal Elitist Agend", especially with 85% of their students being "Liberal". Anyone I meet that graduated from an Ivey League school since the late 60's my first question is did your professors brainwash you to believe in their Liberal/Socialist Agenda?

C W   December 26th, 2008 3:37 am ET

Remember that scene in "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase where everyone is sitting down to the terrible turkey dinner and Cousin Eddie's dog, Snots, starts making a terrible choking sound? Clark Griswold asks Eddie if there is something wrong with the dog and Eddie replies, "No, he's just yackin' on a bone." (wet barfing sound) "Yep, sounds like he got it."

That's the soundtrack that should be played whenever CNN (or any media outlet) posts a story about Sarah Why-Haven't-You-Gone-Away-Yet Palin.

With the soundtrack, there'd be no need for people to posts comments; instead, upon reading/hearing the story, we'd all just nod and murmur, "Nuff said!"

Sherrol   December 26th, 2008 3:36 am ET

Are folks planning on selling the calendars they are buying, on ebay some time in the future?

That pic of Ms Palin is disgusting, but then again maybe she's courting her base early for her much anticipated run (by some) in 2012.

Obama should be so lucky, a Palin 2012 nomination would surely enable him to serve a second term.

Cathy-SoCal   December 26th, 2008 3:32 am ET

Well — I guess it's true — there's a sucker born every minute — and you fall into that category if you're buyin' this calendar. Haven't we had enough of her more than 15 minutes of fame???? The only thing I can hope for that would be a positive out of any such sales would be that the profits go to a charity — and I don't mean paying off her wardrobe bill for the campaign nor paying bail for the druggie mama of her future son-in-law. Good grief — if there's a God — this is the last we'll hear of her.

Sarah H   December 26th, 2008 3:28 am ET

I hope the proceeds from this calendar go to a charitable organization…maybe Unplanned Parenthood?

heather   December 26th, 2008 3:15 am ET

For the record, the comments about seeing Russia from the yard was by FEY not Palin. Does anybody comment about your lack of intelligence for voting for somebody whose political career rose from the cess pool of dirty Chicago politics? Or your choice of VP – who didn't even know which article of the Constitution regulates the office of VP? People with the hate filled, insulting, childish comments like the ones spouted off here are the same kind as the arsonist who set fire to the Govenor's church while children were inside. INSANE!!!

Lee Boston   December 26th, 2008 2:56 am ET

All of you who are so against Sarah Palin seem to be very judgemental when it comes to her intellect claiming that she is stupid. I do not believe this. Every verbal slip up made was capitalized on by the media. Sarah Palin seemingly has family values, good morals, and I think she is sincere about wanting what will benefit this country. I do not think that there is any call to downgrade her. Opinions are fine but harsh criticism is out of line.

I live next to Wasilla – trust me – she's a very down to Earth person – and those clothes you all mention – the campaign bought those for her – and also were returned.

At least she is more "real" than the Kennedy barbie or carpet bagger Hilliary–that have no idea what real women in this country are like and what they have to face being a woman or working from the ground up. Ms Palin has made it on her own — not on the coat tails of her husband like Hilliary or with a silver spoon or huge bank account like Caroline. It makes me ill that people think she is a joke–she is has more in common with the average American woman and I think that scares the Average liberal…..sic………………

Carl from MI   December 26th, 2008 2:18 am ET

"Drill, baby, drill!"

"Palling around with terrorists!"

"In what regards, Charlie?"

"You betcha!"

Anybody got anymore to add to these quotes???

Ambrose Smith, Borrego Springs, California   December 26th, 2008 2:16 am ET

I am amazed at the hatred of people who cannot stand the fact this woman and her family have more in common than any other person running for a public office. Kinda scares the liberals that she is not a put on a pedestal to kiss the feet of–but a person like the people she would represent. Oh heaven forbid that thought–forgive me I have said the heaven word in the same sentence….the ACLU will be all over me now.

Has the wholesale slaughter of wolves from aircraft begun yet in Alaska? Her pro-life views are very narrow. Seems she has a pro-death, or at least utilitarian, view of animals, the environment and indeed, the earth itself. Their sole purpose is $$$. Not exactly biblical.

howIroll   December 26th, 2008 1:52 am ET

I don't understand all the hate for Palin. Disagree with her on issues, sure, but no need for all the hate.

I was a Hillary supporter and attended about a half dozen of her rallies. To be honest, there was far more venom toward Obama (re: Ayers, Wright, Flagler, his inexperience, his Chicago ties) coming out of her mouth directed toward Obama during the primaries than anything I've heard from Palin. At several rallies I attended, there were rabid Hillary supporters yelling very racist things directed at Obama. Nut-jobs come from all political parties and points of view. Funny how once the election is over, the politicians seem to let it go—not so for their supporters. We should take a clue from the politicians.

Ralph   December 26th, 2008 1:50 am ET

Cheryl   December 26th, 2008 1:48 am ET

I kept wondering why people hate Sarah. Finally I get it. Men hate her because they can never have her. If she stood in front of you, you couldn't have said a word. You would be speeachless, jerks.
Women hate her because she will get all the attention whether she is smart or not. Women are so jealous of her. She is very beautiful and sexy as much as Angelina.
For women, beauty is #1 criteria. Most women would give up everything to have her beauty.
As for her brain, she is not the most educated person, didn't go to Harvard, or Stanford. All this knowledge you were screaming about can be aquired, jerks. Just some people have more time than others for self-education. With five kids I can't imagine how she can still manage to be a governor. She is real and someone to be admired.

Give me a break.

Anonymous   December 26th, 2008 1:40 am ET

Eh,
all of you who want Sarah calendar on your wall, just call 1-800-247-6553 (previous mayor deputy of Wasilika, now photographer trying to make some money), but according to the secretary, it's not sure that all photos will be final. There may be some changes in the calendar, that will include a pics of a newborn baby, a "Son-in-Law" mother with some drugs in front of her, and maybe even "Putin" looking from the other side! You know, world is changing so fast!

I think Mr Manhattan was looking at the mountains in the background, not the flag. A general question though about the single white star. Is that somehow related to Alaska? Is it related to it being a state in the union?

wants to grab the NY States senator's seat of Hillary. Inexperienced Caroline and corrupt IL Gov Blago have reminded us how Sarah Palin is a great and unique Govenor and politician who is approved 80% by residents in AK. Sarah is reformer to cut taxes and budgets, but to create jobs and revenue through increasing of gas pipe's line.
Exactly, NY which has faced collapse of Wall St. needs a decent person who has proven record, today.
GO SARAH PALIN 2012 OR 2016

I suggest that is much more relevant issue to the people than Palin's calendar, which is just another ploy for attention… and the media sops it up way too quickly…. it is not the People who have a love affair with the woman, but rather the media! Let it go… seriously…. :)

If you scrape off all the makeup I doubt she'd be worth all the hubbub. How come no one thinks us women would like to look at some regular men who are hot in a calendar? Even Charlie Rose on PBS would be nicer to look at and has way more brains. Some folks might like a calendar with blagovitch, he's sort of trendy if you forget what a jerk he is. Jeez, I could put myself to sleep tonight thinking about all the interesting men in politics that are worth being in a calendar. By the way. Is there any pictures of Kashnkari with hair on his head? What did he look like before he got bald? Would we recognize him from America's Most Wanted if we saw a pic of him with a hairy head?

Miro, MI   December 26th, 2008 12:37 am ET

Look people,
this calendar is fine, but some pics are missing. I just called this fotografer, 1-800-247-65553, and asked if this calendar has pics from the newborn baby, and "Son-in-Law" mom with some drugs in front. The lady that answered phone said that she is not "Stupid", but I can call them again on Monday morning, and they will know if those photos will be on calendar!!!!
Hey, why not! Let call this number on Monday, bring this photographer to show us some pics!
Let's do that!!!!!

Mark   December 26th, 2008 12:36 am ET

Ashley,

You must not have been paying attention to the rallies McCain/Palin held. The GOP have been spewing hate at the Dems their entire campaign, going so far as to call Obama socialist, and Palin calling him a terrorist lover. You really expect the Democrat voters to embrace this woman and be nice to her after what she said about us? What about her comment about the 'Pro-America part of the US?'. She is hated because she is EVIL. Even McCain had to tone it down a notch when that old lady talked about Obama being a 'Muslim'. The hate you speak of is merely a reflection of the hate the GOP lives by. Get used to us being critical, cos its not going to stop until the GOP does.

Taga Bulod   December 26th, 2008 12:36 am ET

I need to order 100 to send to my fellowmen

Sent by God   December 26th, 2008 12:36 am ET

Hey "ERNIE" you and that Idiot must be from the same village. Palin has the intelligence of a Grapefruit.

Failin' Palin is fired up fer freedum, you betcha!   December 26th, 2008 12:35 am ET

That appears to be a large tumor on the right side of her head, which explains her inablility to read, cause her to hallucinate and think she speaks in tongues directly to God, why she needs an excorsim for witchcraft, why she did not realize the RNC said 1500 dollars not 150,000, why she needed a village manager when she was the mayor of Wasilla, why she built the road to nowhere to connect the bridge to nowhere, why she thought pardoning one turkey while another is slaughtered behind her was a good public relations move, and why it took 5 years and 6 colleges to get a 4 year degree.

But does it explain her inablilty to compose a coherent sentence without resorting to Palin Phrasespeak or is that truly just stupidity?

Chris W, Tampa   December 26th, 2008 12:35 am ET

NOooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help me! NO noo NO Nnnn nO no nonooooonononononnon

Smarter Than You   December 26th, 2008 12:35 am ET

I love how this strong, successful conservative woman with principles drives littleheads to distraction. Lie about her all you like – it won't make any difference.

Bush Voters Sit This One Out   December 26th, 2008 12:35 am ET

The farther away from power Palin and her supporters remain, the better off we'll all be.

mandy   December 26th, 2008 12:34 am ET

Ron, you're comment about the NRA proves that you're an idiot.

Johnny Boy   December 26th, 2008 12:33 am ET

Flagship said, "…TO SERVICE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR BUSH…"

'Service' is exactly the right verb.

Bush Voters Sit This One Out   December 26th, 2008 12:33 am ET

Guess what America. She lost and we're all better off for it. Deal with it.

rodney   December 26th, 2008 12:30 am ET

There sure are a lot of tolerant, caring, free speech supporting liberals in here…. I didn't know Palin was such a bad person.hmmmmmmmmm Look inside yourselves this holiday season. Happiness to all!!!

NoOnesHomeBoy   December 26th, 2008 12:30 am ET

Now she probably has to pay that money back for the clothes the RNC bought for her and her brood…

small town america voter   December 26th, 2008 12:29 am ET

Yeah! … 2012.. she's not going away people. Someday the elitists will understand that it doesn't take Harvard colors or gold spoons or Hollywood 'luv' to be the leader to take America forward. And ck your facts she did not graduate from Iowa… and she worked her way through college… no mommy/daddy/affirmative action scholarships either!

Johnny Boy   December 26th, 2008 12:29 am ET

I say, let's feed this obsession. The greatest gift the Republican Party can give the United States is to run sure-to-lose Sarah in 2012.

Ralph   December 26th, 2008 12:28 am ET

Sarah Palin? Who's that?

Michael   December 26th, 2008 12:27 am ET

I think people are using the pictures for their own target practice.

go away mongers -Ventura ca   December 26th, 2008 12:27 am ET

Who?

lynn   December 26th, 2008 12:26 am ET

Let us PLEASE PLEASE have a healthy and palin-free new year!!!

Kristy   December 26th, 2008 12:24 am ET

Personally, I like the layout of this calendar, its a great picture and Mr. 'Manhattan', thats not Russia in the background, you don't recognize our American Flag?

Matt, San Diego CA   December 26th, 2008 12:24 am ET

Seriously, what is the fascination with this woman?? Aren't there any more qualified women in the GOP that are perhaps more fit to lead? If its a question of weather she's hot or not, I'm not into the 40 something year old's. I'd rather see pictures of her as a young Miss Alaska then an over-the-hill ex-vice presidential candidate.

Honestly, America's sick fascination with this lady is toxic. She is a venomous lady who goes to an insane church, has a husband who wants Alaska to secede from the US, hates the majority of the voters, doesnt know crap about the real world…. give it a REST CNN!!!! Let her fade away!!!

joe   December 26th, 2008 12:24 am ET

why on earth would anyone outside her family buy one?

Chad, San Diego, CA   December 26th, 2008 12:23 am ET

Say what you will about her, this is America and its your right to speak your minds. I find her to be a breath of fresh air and anxiously wait for a chance to support her if she runs for Pres or VP again!

BUSH BEGONE   December 26th, 2008 12:22 am ET

Now there you have Miss Reptile of 2009, the new face of the Reptilian Party!

proudliberal-independent   December 26th, 2008 12:22 am ET

give me a break. baby polar bears dont even like her.

Leah DiMarco, Texas   December 26th, 2008 12:22 am ET

A Sarah Palin calendar to mark the days that she is NOT vice-president!
LOL ;)

rodney   December 26th, 2008 12:22 am ET

I love this woman…… Go Sarah….. where do I buy one?

gsjjs1   December 26th, 2008 12:20 am ET

The media insists on keeping this woman in the spotlight. They are trying to make her a star, whether we agree or not.

Jay   December 26th, 2008 12:20 am ET

The female posters in the comment section are most vicious. I would hate to incur the wrath of you "ladies." Yikes!

cesar   December 26th, 2008 12:19 am ET

By the way, I would like to order a dozen, please.

elle   December 26th, 2008 12:18 am ET

LOL at all the hate. You want her to go away, yet you take the time to comment on her. Good one.

Rob   December 26th, 2008 12:18 am ET

GREAT SARAH!

YOU ARE SO HOT! I LOVE YOUR CALENDAR, WHERE CAN I FIND ONE?

YOU TURN ME ON BABE! AND OF COURSE TO MANY OTHER MEN TOO

I LOVE YOU!!!

HAPPY 2009!

Ron   December 26th, 2008 12:17 am ET

Bet all the NRA boys bought this calendar, got it hanging in their bedrooms….Need something to excite them…"Oh mama!! Look at that 12 Gauge!!! Shazammmmm!!!!"

Cigaal4biden   December 26th, 2008 12:16 am ET

Better option, Putin's VP next election. Palin cross the border

hacksaw   December 26th, 2008 12:16 am ET

She's better looking than joe biden and smarter… FYI That is a shotgun she is holding not a rifle you dumb liberals

Dan, FL   December 26th, 2008 12:15 am ET

Governor, you are my idol.. Wish you all the best in the New Year 2009.
There hate mongers like Sheri Ed in Santa Fe who are ignorant left wing liberals. I am sure they must be worshiping images of Barack Hussein Obama and ready to go for the inauguration.Your misery has just begun. Watch out.

Peter   December 26th, 2008 12:15 am ET

I'll need the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 regular calendars, and then the Presidential calendar in 2013.

Generic Dem   December 26th, 2008 12:15 am ET

Please, Please, Please choose Sarah in 2012. I couldn't think of a better candidate for the Republicans to run. The debates would be priceless, especially if you're a Democrat.

Why did you censure my Hooters comment?   December 26th, 2008 12:09 am ET

I can't image that my Palin / Hooters comment was in bad taste…

Aaron, Chicago   December 26th, 2008 12:08 am ET

Does the calendar include her druggie in laws?

Harris   December 26th, 2008 12:08 am ET

This woman scares the living hell out of me. In my ugliest nightmares she calls my name "harris the graduate student".

Flagship, NC   December 26th, 2008 12:07 am ET

BROUGHT TO BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WORKED TO PUT BUSH IN OFFICE….TO SERVICE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR BUSH……

sandee in Portland   December 26th, 2008 12:07 am ET

How the media can keep going on and on about this person is beyond me. She's a good reason why our country is such a mess; star athletes who are criminals and drug users, entertainment personalities whose lives are a mess and have serious psychiatric problems, politicians who are greedy criminals. Where have our morals gone that the american public is fascinated with the dumb and dumber and with excessive behavior that borders on the insane. This woman has done nothing except to incite the right wing evangelicals and was lucky enough to be picked to run for VP. After hearing her speak several times, at least the majority of us realized that she was but an empty head (albeit a nice looking one) that had no real qualifications to be in any office of government.

sean   December 26th, 2008 12:07 am ET

I can't imagine a worse way to spend 2009 than by spending every day looking at the face of a woman who's entire political strategy is based on stoking feelings of fear and anger in people.

Palin vs Kennedy   December 26th, 2008 12:06 am ET

I'ld rather look at Palin than Carolyn Kennedy who voted how many times in the past several years???

Jess   December 26th, 2008 12:06 am ET

Endri – it was actually Idaho, not Iowa – I only know this because it's the school my husband graduated from, and let's just say it is no Ivy League school, LOL! So, not only did she take seven full years to earn a 4 year degree, but she had to switch schools every year or so until she found one sympathetic (or with such low standards) that they would give her a degree for "all of her effort".

Crosseyed Jim, a few posts ahead of yours, is right – she would have trouble outsmarting a rock!

labman57   December 26th, 2008 12:05 am ET

On this Christmas Day, Sarah Palin wishes to express her great appreciation for being so blessed to be thankful for this great nation of ours….that she appreciates….and is thankful for…which makes her so blessed….to be able to appreciate our great nation…of ours…of which she is a part…of.

Ashley   December 26th, 2008 12:05 am ET

I don't know what the hate is all about. Palin was hated from the beginning, even when none of her credentials were revealed. Whether or not you guys agree with a candidate, why do you have to be so mean and angry? All you have to do is to disagree with her politics. Why be nasty? Is this a Dem's way of dealing with the opponent– By being pure evil? Where is the unity you guys always preach?

Ernie in LA   December 26th, 2008 12:05 am ET

This woman is smarter, better looking, richer and more famous than most of the people that hate her. You are just jealous. She is here to stay. Get used to it. Walk a mile in her shoes and then talk about her.

CraigS   December 26th, 2008 12:05 am ET

She will do better without the Bush handlers. I like her. I think she is a wholesome and sincere human being. The weasels that are slinging insults at her are vicious animals.

Texas Teacher   December 26th, 2008 12:04 am ET

And so, we are giving this pitiful excuse for an intelligent person MORE press time…. for what reason? Could it be that the Media is shoving her down our throats rather than the other way around. I NEVER hear anyone here say anything good about her nor express a desire to hear or know more about her! And I live in Texas which is often called the buckle on the bible belt!

James   December 26th, 2008 12:03 am ET

I hope she runs in 2012. She can be the ralph nader of the republican party and she'll ruin any chance of a republican taking the white house.

dr.mimi de la cuz   December 26th, 2008 12:03 am ET

THE COMMODITY SARAH OFFERS HAS ALWAYS SOLD.

IT'S THE REASON THE ROMAN EMPIRE INVENTED COINAGE.

Jim   December 26th, 2008 12:03 am ET

Slow down overjoyed Palin fans…. I bought one its the new dart board in my garage. I'm sure many have been bought for the exact same reason.

Los   December 26th, 2008 12:02 am ET

This would make a great gift for someone I really, really didn't like

xavier   December 26th, 2008 12:01 am ET

What's scary is that some idiots out there actually would try and vote this moron into office in 2012. Palin is indicative of everything that is wrong with the republican party.

G.R.I.T.S - Girl Raised in the South   December 25th, 2008 11:59 pm ET

The only positive comment to this point and the guy/girl can't even spell. THAT, my friends, is the caliber of Palin's followers. Disgusting, the lot of the them.

Gregg G.   December 25th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

So, is she actually doing her job as Governor, or is she just running around being a publicity hound? If I were an Alaskan, I'd be pretty irritated that Palin doesn't seem to be doing her job. But hey, if all Alaskans want is a shallow beauty queen that makes no sense, then maybe they elected the right person after all…

Enrico   December 25th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

Sarah,

You are looking good !!

!st female pres. in 2012… You gp girl !!

Miro, MI   December 25th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

Oops,
is she hunting for drug dealers Alaska?
This gun may not be enough. Ask your "Son-in-law, he may have some contacts with his mom!

John McCain   December 25th, 2008 11:58 pm ET

I'm looking for a job because of this idiot. If Ted Stevens wasn't on his way to prison, I would ask him for a law they would keep her in her village. This lady should never be allowed in the lower 48 again.

Phoenix   December 25th, 2008 11:56 pm ET

That's cool. blacks for McCain, get serious. I am a true black Republican, and a true Republican would never consider McCain nor Palin.

Village Idiot   December 25th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

Blacks for McCain? Wow next thing you know they will run for president..

Liberal4Obama   December 25th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

Is that how she is planning on paying back the $180k she spent in high end clothes and makeup to the RNC, selling calendars?

The Sarah Palin in the picture does not resembles the one I remember during the campaign, you know the one that used to dress herself like a christmas tree

Sheri   December 25th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

Blacks for McCain my foot. You must be the only one

Do you think that if she would go away   December 25th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

maybe she could take Bill O'Rielly, Rush and the other conservative trashy talk show bunch with her?

Nick - Arlington, VA   December 25th, 2008 11:54 pm ET

…I just threw up in my mouth a little…

John McCain   December 25th, 2008 11:54 pm ET

I sure hope no one let this idiot out of the village again. I'm looking for a job because of her.

McBain   December 25th, 2008 11:53 pm ET

who?

Jim   December 25th, 2008 11:53 pm ET

Just another turkey,kinda sick of turkey and Palin

John McCain   December 25th, 2008 11:52 pm ET

For God Sakes I sure hope no one let's this Idiot out of her village in Alaska again. I'm looking for a job because of that Idiot, and she's showing off $200,000 worth of clothes the RNC paid for.

Independent Mary   December 25th, 2008 11:51 pm ET

Looks like a bad hair day. How did that make the cover….oh thats right she doesnt have a stylist or wardrobe buyer anymore. …… Just a need to kill things! Save the animals! I'm sure its such a hot seller because most people are using it for a game of darts!!

Just shows how sick some Americans really are.

Jeanne   December 25th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

In a word…lame! Mrs. Palin is quickly becoming a pop culture foil. This cannot help her chances to be taken as a serious political contender.

Crosseyed Jim   December 25th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

I would rather gnaw off my own fingers then look at this woman's face every day….I guess people just have an unhealthy obsession with good-looking hypocrites that would have trouble outsmarting a rock.

Endri   December 25th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

I see you have made progress, from firing an M-14 to a hunting rifle.
I hope Americans realize what kind of animal "lover" you are. By the way, do Americans know that it took you 7 full time years to finish college in Iowa?

Angie in IA   December 25th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

And I was hoping for a 2009 without having to look at Palin
