(CNN) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s office accused the media Friday of habitually taking her remarks out of context “to create adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
The statement also charged that some members of the media, including independent bloggers and the Atlantic, were continuing “to give credence to the sensational allegation that the governor’s child, Trig, is not hers.”
“As a public official, I expect criticism and I expect to be held accountable for how I govern,” Palin said in a statement released by her office Friday. “But the personal, salacious nature of recent reporting, and often the refusal of the media to correct obvious mistakes, unfortunately discredits too many in journalism today, making it difficult for many Americans to believe what they see in the media.”

The governor also said press coverage had distorted her recent remarks about aspiring New York senator Caroline Kennedy. “I was not commenting at all on Caroline Kennedy as a prospective U.S. senator, but rather on the seemingly arbitrary ways in which news organizations determine the level and kind of scrutiny given to those who aspire to public office,” she said. “In fact, I consider Ms. Kennedy qualified and experienced, and she could serve New York well.”
In portions of an interview with conservative John Ziegler released Thursday, Palin said it would be “interesting” to see how coverage of Kennedy’s candidacy compared to her own media experience. “It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be.”
Her office took particular issue with a Politico story that said Palin had called coverage of Kennedy to date too soft.
Palin’s office also charged that reporters were unfairly scrutinizing the governor and her family. “Just this week, false stories in the media surfaced alleging improper influence by the Palin administration or the governor herself,” they said in the Friday statement, pointing to a report by an Alaska paper on union charges that her administration had delayed serving an arrest warrant on the mother of Levi Johnston, fiance of Bristol Palin. Union officials later changed the substance of those allegations considerably.
Another report — that Johnston lacked the proper educational requirements for the position he held — resulted in his resignation from the job.

Sarah Palin is most likely a decent, kind hearted person. I have never met her, of course, but her mannerisms are pleasant enough.
Yes, she has been shamlessly ostracized by the media. And that includes CNN !
Doesn't affect my opinion........I already have one..........NO ONE CARES!!!! Just GO AWAY. ITS OVER !!!
OH SHUT UP AND STOP WHINING!
It was YOU Sarah,making no sense on those interviews.It was YOU making a fool out of yourself.
If she didn't speak in run-on sentences constantly, they wouldn't have to take comments out of context.
IDIOT !!!!!
SHUT THIS WOMAN UP. SHE IS ANNOYING AND IS A HAS BEEN.
SHE IS CURRENTLY USING THE MEDIA FOR HER OWN PATHETIC AGENDA. I AM SICK OF HER FACE AND EVERYTHING ABOUT HER AND HER FAMILY.
THIS IS NOT NEWS. THIS IS GOSSIP. EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS THE MEDIA INCLUDING CNN IS JUST A TOOL.
Please do not report her anymore. It is getting really old and boring
She is right, not one thing was said about Obama even though he has a shady past. The media is full of a bunch of losers.
Noo, really ? How shocking. She really must be from the back woods if she wasn't aware of this before
Oh Sarah, give it a rest. We're tired of your 'poor me-itis.'
She sure didn't have an issue when she was spreading lies and misinformation about Barack Obama, did she?
Karma, Baby. Karma.
to say the media was unfair to palin is like saying the judge that gave ted bundy the death penalty was unfair. Shes an idiot, and all the media did was show the world what a complete uneducated IDIOT she is. I wish you would stop posting stories about this lady, its making her look relevant even when shes not!
Gov. Palin, PLEASE, PLEASE stop whining! If you can't run with the big dogs, then get off the porch!
If you had been honest to begin with Sarah and produced the birth certificate when Trig's parentage came into question, you wouldn't be in this position now.. Like everyone that runs for a public office, you open your personal life to public scrutiny.
"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s office accused the media Friday of habitually taking her remarks out of context “to create adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
Wait a minute, isn't that the exact same thing she did to Obama??
Of course, this won't get posted anyway....come on CNN!
does she know what she talks about... or is she just insane?
How you gonna run in 2012 when you're nothing but a whining, childish sore loser? OMG the media scrutnized me and got some things wrong and mostly portrayed me as the know-nothing smarmy politician that I am. But, Rezko, Wright, spreading the wealth, socialism, clinging to guns and proud of my country were all fair game as long as it's my opponent. You're going to have to grow some thicker skin if you want to play in this game.
It hasn't taken very long for the Republican whine machine to get up and running. Palin really needs to get over it.
You know, if the media would stop printing everthing she says, she would be forced to just go away. The media created this monster and it keeps feeding it. Just stop. She should never have been picked by John McCain. There is no reason for her to still be anyone's center of attention. I thought during the campaign she was "convinced" by handlers to say the mean, hateful, divisive things she said. I know now it was all her. She is mean and nasty and needs to stay in Alaska.
ok Sarah – and your accusing Obama of "hanging with terrorists" was not personal at all!
How stupid is she? Palin is so stupid she has no idea how stupid she is.
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo.
Grow up, if you want to run for public office, then get used to questions and not the ones you want, but those who want to know what you know and if you do not have viable answers then do your home work or get out of the public.
The reason the media attacked you, Sarah, is because you had the potential to steal the election from their "chosen one". You created a stir, and that wasn't supposed to happen. The media has taken to making the news instead of reporting it. I wonder how much of this economic problem would actually have happened if they hadn't talked recession, recession, recession. Now that Obama is almost in office, all talk is of recovery. Strange, isn't it? In my opinion, the media is no better than the politicians – one step below used car dealers.
The MSM sucks!
Will this woman ever just go away? Every politician is under the microscope why would she think she would be any different? She allowed herself and her family to be 'used' by the Mccain campaign out of her greed for power. I wonder if she would be complaining had they won the campaign.
Also, the story of Trig's birth is to biazzar not to question. What woman in her right mind, knowing she was having a high risk pregnancy, would put herself and the life of the child in danger the way she did? If she is so offended by the rumor that Trig is not her child, why won't she provide a birth certificate?
Kinda like how when you called Obama a terrorist...huh? Doesn't feel too good when the attacks are on you do, does it?
Oh wah. This woman needs to disappear. She is not competant.
Who cares what this foolish nitwit thinks?
You all in the MSM are idiots to keep giving her a platform. She doesn't have anything intelligent to say.
This woman really needs to stop blaming other people for
her stupidity.
**sigh**.......
Cry me a river?!?
And, when you're done- cry me an ocean?!?
Then, go away for good!!!
Thank you!
go away!
This woman is ridiculous...wait I wonder if she can see British Columbia from her porch....you betcha!
I love how CNN keeps using the sad, sad picture of Palin when her and McCain LOST!
Hah.
I hope this woman runs again in 2012 as the Republican nominee for President.
In 4 years, the rest of the world's memory may have to be refreshed as to why it abhors Conservative Americans – and justifiably deservedly so.
Sarah Palin as the face of conservatism will thankfully and thoroughly replenish that global disgust of Republican Americans.
Frankly, I, among many others, don't care whose baby it is....
Palin sez -"taking her remarks out of context “to create adversarial situations,” erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
" uuuhh....isn't that kinda what she did (willingly and voraciously) to Obama??? But hey,,,,keeps her in the news and feeds her fans – "who believe!" don't it!!? . and as far as I can see Caroline Kennedy is being flogged just as bad only for different reasons!
Politicin' isn't a picnic Palin~!! better be squeeky clean and don't give out more than you are willin' (her speak) to take!
Looks like Sarah got a dictionary...
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s office accused the media Friday of habitually taking her remarks out of context “to create adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
How does this differ from the way you ran your campaign?
Mrs. Palin while I am with you on the bloggers and some media attacking you family. Your interviews were very poor, and I dont believe that the McCain camp did anything to help you there. You also made attacks against Obama that were very misleading. My question is how can you point the finger at the media when you, yourself salacious remarks about Obama. You have the same ability to unite people, however your belief system is very flawed America is not far right in there values. You need to accept different races, religions, and sexuality. That where you missed it. McCain and his staff used you to try and get elected, I think you were the scapegoat they needed. American is ready for a female as president but it is clearly not you. Sorry that just the way it is.
If you can't stand the heat, go back to the kitchen.
Your 15 minutes is up, Sarah. Kindly yield the stage before you look like a house guest who has overstayed her welcome.
We have seen her interviews with the media, uncut and they speak for themselves. I mean, having an interview while behind you an animal is being slaughtered?
Palin is in severe denial over her own actions and words.
I never heard the story of her administration delaying the serving of the arrest warrent on Johnston. It makes since though. I was trying to figure out what took them so long to make an arrest, since they reported that the investigation had been going on for some time. I thought it was just a coincidence. Now I know better.
I hope Sara Palin watched Morning Joe for some advise. All that was on the Morning Joe show this morning advised her to move on and lighten up. The more Sara Palin talk about Trig being her son the more people will believe he is not. People will believe she is trying to hard to convince everybody Trig is her son. If he is really her son, they way keep talking about it. John McCain needs to be punished for introducting her to the American People becasue she just won't go away and take a lost like a big girl.
Gov. Palin, the media is real sorry for finding out you are a Idiot. Do you love the media and like reading about yourself in the paper. No one can figure why you continue to give interviews, when no one wants to hear anything you have to say.
Wow. So saying stuff like "paling around with terrorists" isn't salacious?
That Palin... there she goes again. Shame doesn't realize the level of stupidity she projects.
Sarah sarah sarah, QUIT WHINING YOU LOST!!
CNN, why do you insist on posting something about Sarah Palin constantly.
I think you must like the hate that spews from the democrats.
Stay tuned for democratic hate, same liberal time, same liberal channel. (CNN)
OMG! Can someone please explain to me how the media could take what she said "out of context?" She could not hardly form a complete sentence unless it was written for her! Oh, and quess what? So far Carolyn Kennedy can speak and answer questions on her own. But if she can't...you betcha, I will be commenting on that.
Palin was stupid and didn't understand what it meant to run as Vice President. She was so big headed that she thought she had all the answers. Palin needs to be a mom to her baby and children and leave the Policital side alone. She will someday look back at how stupdi she was and what she said. She made a fool out of herself in the public and still is as of today.
She keeps complaining about how people brought her children into the campaign. But she's the one who paraded them on stage at the RNC. She took them out of school and sometimes used them as props–especially the baby. You can't have it both ways.
Sarah, don't mind what anyones says about you, govern your state well and take care of your family. Whatever God has in store for you will come to you. Take care of you mental health.
Sarah Palin is the humor of the week
Dear Gov Palin,
Your policies are wrong. Your way of expressing yourself has stirred others to an unacceptable level of anger. I don't need to know you personally to know that you would be bad for our counrty. I will defend you to my freinds and coleagues when you are attacked personally, especially with regards to your family.
While I am quite sure that I would never vote for you I do wish you and your family the best.
if you can't play with the big dogs, stay in alaska. What do a sommelier and sarah palin have in common? wine, whine, wine, whine.
The Media was outrageous on how it when out of its way to promote Barack and discredit Sarah Palin.
We now have to eat liberal pie and we will be sick of it in a very short time, as our taxes and our debt will go through the roof.
Hang on to your wallets as Barack is about to suck it dry.
Gov't should get out of the way not be in our way with ever increasing wasteful spending and taxes. We will be the real losers even though the media and Barack were winners in November. Our country and our ideals of freedom and capitalism will be under siege for the next two and four years.
The media descended on Palin more visciously than a pack of hungry attack dogs fighting over a steak.
I realize that it is very cold and mostly dark in Alaska right now and two out of only tree industries Alaska has (oil, fishing and tourism) are shut down.
But, surely, Governor Palin has many other concerns and important tasks to keep her busy, right? Right?!
And if she doesn't, than this country does! Would someone, please, tell her that she is not important. It breaks my heart but it must be done!
I know what Sarah's problem is. She lacks maturity and self confidence. If I was in her position, I wouldn't give a rat's behind what the media or anyone else thought about me. Her problem is that she knows in her heat that she is a fraud. Most people in her position don't sit around and dwell on what folks are saying about them especially if they are on the up and up. I've said things about her on these postings but maybe she should tell everyone to go (I don't need to finish it).....
What a waste of time! Doesn't she have a full-time job as governor of Alaska? Go govern your state and stop complaining all the time!
Cripes! I am a Democrat, and you think I would love these kind of opportunities to blast Palin, but even I am starting to get tired of bi-weekly Palin quotes. I hope she is not going to keep this up over the next four years! She needs to just quit and get on with her life. She is getting so bad, I am starting to feel sorry for most Republicans. I do not think she represents them well, at all.
This lady is clearly a moron and she has been exposed. It's easy to blame others and make excuses when you have shown the world how you are lacking in knowledge. Katie Couric was simply doing her job and the questions asked, a fifth grader could have answered.
The only reason she was made governor and mayor of Alaska because if the majority of people are high school dropouts, like her daughter and the father,she was seen to be very capable. Perhaps her winking and alright looks captivated a backwards state.
The lady needs to vanish from the spotlight, because the more she appears, only reminds the people how inept she really is.
Get over it! Admit your mistakes and move on. I have gained a lot of respect for Senator McCain for his professionalism following the election. Gov. Palin – you should take a cue from him.
Can you please just go away, scrutiny is par for the course when you are in the public eye, It has always been this way, and, will always be that way. No one gets special treatment.
So, read the first paragraph of this article again. The things that she complains about are ALMOST exactly what she did to Barack Obama during the election. The difference is that what the media were saying about her was true – you can't deny what you saw from those news interviews.
Palin's right about something for once..."making it difficult for many Americans to believe what they see in the media"
I'm still in disbelief that she was ever on the national scene, and that she's still here and won't go away.
Could the media PLEASE, PLEASE stop reporting on every utterance of this moronic dilletante?
It's really hard to take Sarah Palin seriously when she does interviews with turkeys being slaughtered right behind her, when she can't name a newspaper, when she doesn't even know what the $700 billion went for...
She always complains about the media...maybe if she wasn't a joke, they'd leave her alone.
Let her keep complaining. Totally proves why she wasn't ready and why she's totally irrelevant.
Why is this woman still in the news?
so tell me what did you mean be real america fake america Palin? you are so stupid and the stupid people that follow you all need to jump into a boiling hot volcano
What ever !!!! It seems to me that you miss them I haven't heard much on you and you are not the news anymore along with Joe the plummer (idiot)!!!!! so just do what you need to do in alaska and stay out of the national news Good By
When kids have unprotected sex that results in a "blessing" and do not give the blessing up for adoption, then the parents immediately become adults and are fair game, especially when they get a job due to the half-wits influence and therefore, taking the job away from someone that actually was qualified and had a high-school diploma.
So, Palin, just between us adults, have the high school drop-outs had the shot-gun wedding yet?
I am starting TO think Sara Palin ego is too big for her and she wants to say in the media. What she fell to reAlized is she can not compete with Obama World. The media love Obama and she will have a hard time getting any positive coverage. So my adivse to her is to go away before she really damage her image to even considered running in 2012 against THAT ONE!
Go. Away.
Sarah Palin came onto the scene denouncing and attempting to belittle the democratic opponent. She planted the seed to reap exactly the same thing – as a 'christian', she should be aware of this. She started the attacks on day one and the same followed her throughout the campaign. How can she expect sympathy now, or expect to be taken seriously when she complains about the negativity against her? I agree that her children should not have to bear the brunt of the meanness, but shouldn't she have considered that before accepting the position? HOPEFULLY, she is not so innocent as not to expect criticism, considering her family situation. Also note, in spite of her constant negative comments against Obama, he never retaliated. What a gentleman!
This women has no clue... again and again and again...
There is subtle difference between a VP candidate that can potentially become a president and a US senator. The levels of responsibility and potential damage a person in respective positions can inflict is simply incomparable. It stands to reason that a VP candidate WILL be scrutinized much more than a mere senator. It stands... but not for Palin
Also, it's interesting that every time she speaks to the media, she then has to follow it up with a statement about how she's been 'misunderstood' or 'taken out of context.'
Every. Time.
Maybe you should stop speaking to the media, Sarah, if they've got as big of a comprehension problem as you seem to believe.
You are not making any new fans Sarah. Don't you realize the Joke is on YOU! We only follow your stories in the media to see what bumbling folly you'll fumble through next. Nobody but yourself takes you seriously. You are pure entertainment and are not taken seriously as a political figure. Get OVER yourself!
When was the last time Sarah Palin actually took responsibility for something? To my knowledge blaming everything on others is a sign of mental illness.
"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s office accused the media Friday of habitually taking her remarks out of context “to create adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”"
Just like she did? How parents could only relate to her and not any other candidate? Or the acquaintances of certain candidates?
What makes her above the media?
Uh oh, someone showed Mrs. Palin what a thesaurus is.
Big words for such a small town gal!
A politicians private life being scrutinized or gossiped about? NO WAY. UNHEARD OF. Jesus christ. If you can't handle it, get out of politics and stay out. Good riddance.
Poor baby – she says that she expects criticism and being held accountable and then turns around and whines when it happens. I will agree with her that there were several potshots fired across her bow that were out of line but she needs to remember that she is not the only one that has happened to.
It seems to me that she is the one who wants to set the standards to which she is held acvcountable and then put anyone who violates them in front of a firing squad. Someone needs to remind her that politics is a little different than a beauty pagent.
I am not a fan of hers but she has the right, just as anyone else does to make her views known. Her problem is that she doesn't seem to want to be held accountable for her gaffes, of which there are plenty.
So on Thursday Sarah talks about Couric and Key and how unfair the entire media is. On Friday her office releases a statement talking about how unfair the media is. Are we beginning to see a pattern here?
Why can't Ms. Palin just govern Alaska to the best of her ability and stay out of this unfair media?
OK enough is enough. At first I didn't mind the coverage of Gov. Palin because it brought her short comings to the forefront and supported my opinion that the Republican party and John McCain couldn't possibly be serious about leading the country. But now its just getting ridiculous. Ms Palin ... you were running for the second highest and probably the highest position in the country how could you not expect your life and those around you to be placed under a microscope? Step away from the cameras and you could probably begin recovering from the "salacious" reporting. Good luck with that!
Oh please... just let her fade into the sunset... enough is enough is enough
Just waiting on those liberals that can't stand Palin to chime in on this one.......
By your soon to be negative comments your just proving that things that you don't understand (honesty, integrity, character, etc) scare you and therefore you have to attack!
Palin in 2012!!!!!!
I consider the statements made by Gov. Palin's office as being way to soft and polite to the media. The media goes way to far in their attempt
to discredit this woman. I understand the contempt for the republican party. As a republican for all my life; 41 voting years, I am appalled at
what the republican party has become. But I have not given up on the
principles of America and what it means. I consider Sarah Palin to be
a "Great American". She has risen to where she is on her own; not
by the republican party, not by the wealthy with an adjenda, but on her
own belief's and trying to make America a better place for all.
Well, how about Sarah the Moron's salacious shrieking that Obama palls around with terrorists?
GO AWAY, SARAH!!
Seriously this lady should see a Psychiatrist... no jokes or move to Hollywood.. Because Alaskan voted her to be their Governor means not much...
With all there talk of teenage pregnancy, troopergate, expensive hockey mom's clothing, in-law drug bust.
Lady, if you are thinking on the US Presidency. It is not a reality show. You and those narrow minded so call conservative talk show host can keep living in fools paradise. FORGET IT.
Americans has seen what you are capable of. New flash just in case you missed it. You don't have what it takes.. SIMPLE.
Will someone please tell this woman to stop whining. They lost the election and she is a big reason why it happened. Alot of people wonder why Americans seem to have a hard time seeing a woman being the head of the country, and all of her whining and "look at me" press conferences do not help that. What exactly were you misquoted on? YOU are the one who made the stupid statements about seeing Russia from Alaska being foreign policy experience, you are the one who couldn't answer a basic question about which newspapers you read. As far as "your" baby goes, why was your daughter taken out of school for the months prior to Triggs birth to be homeschooled because she had mono? I know alot of people who had mono that managed to stay in school. If you wanted to prove Trigg was yours all you had to do was release your medical records which you said you would and NEVER did. GO AWAY AND STAY IN ALASKA PLEASE!!!
She is 100% correct. The media bias this year was the worst I've ever seen. First the media were against Hillary and then the Republicans. The year 2008 was certainly the year journalism died. Of course the hardcore Obama fans will say they didn't see any bias at all.
I agree. I think a lot of the comments made are totally unbelievable. Instead of making a point to print only the truth, they just keep on printing the rumors that have been circulating for ages. I'm waiting for the ones who keep complaining about the "Obama Birth Certificate" crap to start complaining about all the lies spread about Palin. No one defends her like they defend Obama regarding rumors. Why not? It shouldn't matter if you like her or not, supporting a lie is wrong.
Although as a Sudanese national I am not a fan of Gov Palin I share her outrage with the Media from personal experience namely the false and harmful coverage of the Darfur situation with widespread harmful misinformation to the American and Western public that is threatening to destabilize my home country by falsly influencing public and decision makers alike.
It amazes me that the same "mainstream media" that she claims show bias againast her is the same "mainstream media" she uses to try bully her way back into the spotlight! Here's some advice....Cry a river, build a bridge, and GET OVER IT!!! Her whining is simply pathetic!
I agree to the point that personal attacks have no place in government. However, Ms. Palin should take her own advice. Telling crowds that Obama pals around with terrorists and have people introduce her who involk Obama's middle name as a slur, and whipping crowds into homocidal anger is something far worse than anything media has done. Again, Ms. Plain you show us how unprepared you are for National Office.
“As a public official, I expect criticism and I expect to be held accountable for how I govern,”
Unfortunately, because you are a public official, your personal life is an issue. And because you are a public official, your family is also in the spotlight, unfortunately.
Maybe they do things differently in Alaska, but welcome to the lower 48, you finally see how things are really done.
American's media has become a progressive joke. A state run media..
Did you ever hear of "Ignore them and they will go away"?
Should we even be paying any notice to yet another self promoting attention seeker. What has her bitterness got to do with anything other than yet more air time? Poor Alaska, what a representative they have been stuck with.
Is she really trying to stay relevant. Should'nt she try to catch up with all the work "down there" in Alaska. It seems like her commenting on the Media is her way of trying to stay in the media. There are more important things to report about.. She had her 15 mins, let us move forward to change
THX Bibi in NJ
Is that all Palin knows how to do...WHINE? Doesn't she have a life? Do we have listen to her now? Didn't she lose? So why are we still following her every unintelligent utterance?
There is not much more to be said about this womem. She is what she is,and probably will remain as such for the rest of her life.
John McCain owes her a very big apology for bringing her into the limelight before completly vetting her out.
Come ON!! Everyone else is to blame... everyone is out to get poor old Sarah. Gimmie a break!!! Lest we forget the John McCain story in 2000 about his illegitimate child (thanks Karl Rove) or the swift boating of Kerry in 2004? Or the ever popular Obama is a Muslim thing. If she is going to be on the national stage, she had better get used to this.... and QUIT crying to the media about it.
Yep–paranoid schizoid–just like we thought!
Sweet Christmas! this lady is way more funny when I am not terrified she could be one heart beat away from the presidency. Keep talking Sarah you are way better than SNL.The cringe factor is fabulous!
Sarah...go away go away go away go away go away go away.
Enough of Palin already. Enough, Enough, Enough. CNN, why do you insist on posting something about Sarah Palin constantly.
Progressive hate is still hate.
Palin equates "The Media" with a few blogs.
This woman is just stupid. Just like most of the country that voted for the other stupid person for president. Just be thinkful that you all didn't make the same big mistake twice.
Then let us see the birth certificate.
Palin is an idiot. End of story.
Continues to prove what a dumb person she is.........
Thanks Palin for proven me right.......
She's such a nut ball. I watched the entire Couric and Gibson interviews, not media sound bytes and the way she came off is the way she is. Uniformed, undereduacted and a compulsive liar.
The biggest loser, wouldn't you say.
Out of context? If you see Russia from Alaska... I don't think so.
Just fine something else to do and don't think about 2012 either because you are going to lose again.
When you enter a campaign carrying the baggage she carried - a pregnant teenager, five kids, unwed daughter's boyfriend, boyfriend's mother arrested for involvement with drugs - you can't expect kudos for trying to be the greatest sensation since sliced bread. You were dumb enough to believe all the hype the Republicans spewed out over radio and television, and then couldn't live up to it. Stay in Alaska, they are used to you.

CNN PLEASE POST MY COMMENT
I think we have some serious issues in this country, say, for the next decade or two.
We don't need to worry about this stupid person(unless, of course, you live in Alaska).
Being in the eye of the public what do you expect. Look how all other public figures are treated what makes her feel she should have special treatment. On-top- of that what would make us think that, that baby is not Sarah P's.
When one puts their nose in the political pen ... One must deal with tthe press. Personally, I think she is beautiful ( that IS a sexist remark, sorry! ) and intellegent and a very good leader. John McCain didn't pick someone to ruin his campaign for president. He selected a brilliant woman and leader. Today ... It is what it is!
Governor Palin, I think the best thing you can do right now is focus on running your fine state and stop distracting yourself by licking your wounds. Yes, the media was tough on you and I agree, the rumor about your son was absolutely horrendous. Other reporting, however, resulted from your doing. Nevertheless, it's time to put on your big girl panties and move on. You've got other pressing issues to deal with immediately.
Wow Sara. Then just SHUT-UP and stop talking to the media!! No one want to hear from you.
Hey Gov Palin,
It's OVER, you LOST- your 15 minutes have expired. Please, please, return to Alaska, quietly.....
She accuses the media of trying “to create adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”.....This is from the lady that accused our President Elect of "palling around with terrorists" and being a "socialist". Sounds like she doesn't mind throwing punches, but doesn't know how to take one....
Sarah, I hear correspondent Joe (I'm not a) plumber needs help in the Gaza Strip reporting on the violence over there.
I just worry that you won't be able to find Israel on the map.
The campaign is over and it's time for her to move on. She is the one who took what bloggers said and repeated those statements on the campaign trail...so she has no one to blame but herself for those issues.
As far as her family goes, I agree they should not be targeted, but again she is the one who paraded them out there for all to see....it's a little late to complain now!!
But again... move on girl!!!
Kennedy isn't running for the VP of the largest non-economy (bankrupted) in the world. She is running for senator so she can get some experience, unlike Palin who thinks she is qualified to be VP of America. Also, Kennedy has also been villified in the press for her flubs as well. Has Palin forgotten that she took home 150,000.00 worth of clothes she said she gave back? She lied and no one is going to forget that.
Poor Sarah! (sigh) I feel so worry for her.
Palin continues to exploit her family.
And the media continues to foster this garbage.
And I accept my own role in that I am reading it and responding.
Let's all just leave it alone and let it go away....
So, when will she release her medical records to refute these stories?
Sarah has too much time on her hand. Get a real job.
You were not qualified to be VP, you still have a long way to go, Carroline Kennedy is very qualified to be a Senator, she is a graduate from an Ivy League College, she has written books...etc, you do not even deserve to be governor of the great state Alaska, I hope they will see the light next time.
And people wanted this woman as their VP? She does nothing but complain and whine. Yeah, I really want a crybaby to represent MY country to the rest of the world. Get over it, your daughter is a drunk (underage drinking, with pictures to prove it) who got pregnant, it is a shotgun wedding (if it ever gets that far), both are high school dropouts, someone lied to get Levi his job (undue influence, Governor?), she had to go to 4-5 colleges to get 1 degree, and foreign relations experience based on seeing a coastline of Russia...wow....
I went to 1 college to get my Bachelors, going to 1 college now to get my Masters, been around the world twice in the Navy so I have actually been to these countries, had my first kid when I was 28, and had to go through a govt. background check to get my current job....Dang, I guess i am qualified to be the ruler of the world by her standards.
There she goes again, you betcha! Hey, Sarah – if you would release ALL of your medical records, then we'd all know for sure whether or not Trigger is yours. If you have nothing to hide, then why didn't you share? You only allowed info regarding your latest physical to be made public...
Now, STFU, and go away.
I am a proud Democrat who was relieved Obama won. However, I am disgusted with the way the media has treated Palin. Trust me, I am not a fan. But when you start with rumors, not facts, about her children, that hits below the belt. Leave them alone. Including Bristol. This is a typical Rebublican tactic. Attack, attack, attack. And with ignorance. Democrats are much better than that.
Sarah still does not get it, that for all her complaints now about Tina Fey and Katie Couric...nothing they did was made up, they portrayed her in the skit and the interview exactly how she really is.
So don't complain about them now, Sarah was just being Sarah and if she came across as dumb that is reality and how she was.
I think our Sarah is still suffering from sour grapes over their huge loss in the election.
Seriously this lady should see a Psychiatrist... no jokes or move to Hollywood.. Because Alaskan voted her to be their Governor means not much...
With all there talk of teenage pregnancy, troopergate, expensive hockey mom's clothing, in-law drug bust.
Lady, if you are thinking on the US Presidency. It is not a reality show. You and those narrow minded so call conservative talk show host can keep living in fools paradise. FORGET IT.
Americans has seen what you are capable of. New flash just in case you missed it. You don't have what it takes.. SIMPLE.
And... so may think she is popular because she draw so much interest.... Remember the playboy girl that died and Britbey Spears.. the Media and public are facinated by stupid people
consider the methods you used against Obama, you stepped into the majors, quit whinning and govern
Sarah Palin is right on .... The few comments already posted depict exactly what she is trying to say about the media. The media is liberal oriented and you know exactly what you will get from them. She is NOT stupid as most Democrats think. She may not have been the most qualified person but that is no reason to throw around the sarcastic comments. John McCain picked her. Why should she have turned down the opportunity ?
If you have something to say, say it intelligently ......
Proud American – she doesn't read the papers, so that can't be it!
If the Republicans really, truly want her to run in 2012 (please! there's not enough humor in the world!) they will shut her up and spend the next couple of years grooming her. Whichever college she was finally granted a communication/journalism degree from may want to take a look @ the effectiveness of that particular program, as it seems to have failed tremendously in this case.
What a fruitcake !
There IS one common denominator in all of Sarah's controversies - Sarah herself - I think she shoud get some downers from the mother of the father of her daughters' child and chill - hmmmm........ sounds like a reality show.........................Sarah smile!
Can somebody please make her shut up? Sheesh, enough is enough already
As Palin lives out nowhere and busy in watching Russia, she's paranoid about nobody remembering her.
So, she keeps performing the publicity stunt that would tell us about her idiocy again like her McRage.
Your 15 minutes are up, Mrs. Palin. Go home. You're done.
Media: STOP PUTTING A MICROPHONE IN FRONT OF THIS WOMAN! If her publicist calls you again, let it go to voicemail and ignore it!
Robin – I second that thought – great comment. The hateful liberal rants on these pages is beyond comprehension.
Watching Sarah Palin is like gawking at a train wreck. It makes you feel a little slimy but you just can't help yourself, especially when the victim keeps jumping in front of the train again and again.
This poor, sad woman is in need of some serious couch time with a good shrink.
Well if that Axe she used to attack the Obama campaign isn't creating
“adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.” Then I dont know what is.
Now she knows how Democrats feel when their ideas are subjected to the Republican spin machine......
Perhaps the real problem is that she is simply unqualified to have been nominated for VP!
Crybaby....and to think she might have been a heartbeat away from being President....Just what we needed...another nonintellectual executive who blames all of his/her own mistakes on someone else.
The only thing good about this is the Republicans are seeing the real Palin...let her talk....she not only won't be a viable candidate in 2012...she'll probably lose her Governor's seat in 2 years.....then she can go back to hunting moose full time....what am I saying...she probably will be hired by FOX......
"So far Carolyn Kennedy can speak and answer questions on her own. But if she can't…you betcha, I will be commenting on that."
LOL!! That's funny.
I think she should just let it go with the media, I don't want her to be like T.O...
Maybe she should have held a press conference before the election, to dispel these rumors, but the evil liberal media would have asked her "gotcha" questions like "what newspapers do you read" and "what do you think about the Bush doctrine".
Not that she needed to answer any questions regarding her fitness for office. She's like, totally a Christian and stuff, therefore she's qualified to be anything from a VP to an astronaut. Right, Republicans?
With a drug addict son she forced into the military, an unwed teenage mother for a daughter who's on her second child, the uneducated, unemployeed son of meth dealer for her future son-in-law, and "her" child Trig that she continues to parade around in a charade, how can she not expect to get some media attention. Brittany Spears doesn't deliver that much daily drama.
Sarah still hasn't taken her big girl pill.....
Sarah is not going anywhere sorry....maybe you just need to stop reading about her!
Just like some of us have stopped reading about something else coming up on the 20th?? Who cares! Go away!
Now did that sound just as stupid as all of your postings above. What is so striking about all of your "go away" posts is that you just cant stop reading about her....maybe it is you that need to go away.
No wonder we are in the mess we are in. First, we make stars out of air heads and nincompoops – and then we elect them!
Easy solution: stop giving interviews and disappear. Ever heard the expression "it's better to be silent and have people think your stupid, than to speak and prove it" and "a shut mouth catches no flies"?
The higher you climb the more exposure and resulting criticism you get. Unfortunately, it comes with the territory – Obama can tell you that too! Anyway, Sarah, so long (AGAIN) – the family needs you!
She HAS been reading "all of them."
Time for her to go away quietly. How can anyone think she is the future of the Reublican party?
She better stay on the good side of the press if she intends on running in 2012. Might be cutting off her nose to spite her face. Or she could just keep talking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sigh......I could just wring John McCain's old wrinkly neck for thrusting this ignorant hillbilly into the public spotlight. With that said, I hope she keeps on digging..uh, I mean talking herself into oblivion. Can she keep it up until 2012? Stay tuned. I hope she does become the face of the New and Improved GOP. The democrats will be in power a looooong time if she keeps on talkin'...wink, wink!!!
WHERE DID SHE EVER LEARN THE WORD SALACIOUS???
Will she ever get a brain? She seems to really believe that she is an influencial person that is going to drive our country into the future. If there was ever a disfunctional family to watch it is hers.
I seriously doubt the coverage of Kennedy will be anywhere near as intense as the coverage on Palin.
But I guess that might be because Kennedy isnt trying for the VP position!!
Just a slight difference there on job importance and what it would mean to not just the US but the world stage.
"seemingly arbitrary ways in which news organizations determine the level and kind of scrutiny given to those who aspire to public office"
Yeah isnt it strange how the media seem to concentrate more on the people going for the more powerful positions, go figure
Give me a break..Palin said things that were not true about Obama and she refused to correct those things and knew they were false. She needs to sit down and take care of her home.
Is she still talking? And why?
I found it telling that she said she was angered when she heard Tina Fey say marriage was between two unwilling teenagers. Didn't she claim to have watched that with the sound turned down? Weak.
Well, Sarah, you may have some street smarts and a nice wink – but you are not that smart, that was the problem. One of the best traits of a leader is strong self-awareness. Sadly, she has none.
Those who live by innuendo and half-truths and knowingly false witness, should, should, should be ashamed to complain when it's directed back at them!!!
How come you're not ashamed Sarah?! You planted an awful lot of very bad karma in the political fields and now you're reaping what you did sow.
gOVENOR pALIN was not emotionally mature enough to run for VP because now that she lost, she's unable to move on, instead she's blaming everything known to mankind for her loss except her own shortcomings. She didn't even understand that being a heartbeat away from the Presidency which would've been held by a 72 year old man who is a 4 time cancer survivor, well yes you're going to get a close look but not being able to spout out the newspapers you read was a big part of her downfall. She's a spoiled brat who is used to getting everything she wants just by batting her eyes only not this time thank God
hmmm she said something about Hillary Clinton whining...What a baby and what an idiot. What was she going to do whine to foreign leaders when she wasn't getting her way over something?
Man, she sure is complaining alot, isn't she? She needs to realize that the only reason she was picked to run for VP was because she's young and cute and apparently easily programmed how to dress and what to say by the RNC.
I would've had alot more respect for her had she spoken up at the time and admitted there are many other Republican women who are more qualified as VP than she is and then refused to run w/McCain. Instead, she let her ego get the best of her and now she's blaming everyone and their brother as to why her ticket didn't win.
Don't go away mad, Sarah - just GO AWAY!!!!
Who didn't already know this? Except for the lemming dumbocrats, I mean.
Sarah Palin is 100% correct...... the media bias and left wing hatred and vitriol is obvious to anyone with half a brain. Personal attacks on her family were never questioned by the media, and Tina Fey was celebrated. Its time the left looked in to a mirror..............
Will someone make this woman shut up...? Or is clipping her vocal cords the only solution......
Palin is the reason they have sayings like "not the sharpest tool in the shed." "As dumb as a box of rock's"
Hooray Sarah!!!!!!!! Go get 'em girl!! You have much to offer the US, much to offer women in particular. I am in full agreement with you and support you 100%....as do thousands of Americans.
"It is far better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Gov. Palin,
Please take this quote to heart. You might benefit from shutting up already. Don't you have a corrupt state to govern?
People talking about Trig? This was back in September.
For someone who wants this stuff to stop and go away, she certainly keeps bringing it back up.
Whatever happened to the respect that Cronkite , Huntley & Brinkley & the early journalists had for our elected officals? Yes, times change, but people don't. The United States has become a pit of disrespect for "each other". A nation of "self". Sarah Palin should be cheered & looked up to. If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all.
This two bit politician continues to demonstrate that she is no where ready to hold any national office.
This good woman has been picked on by the media from the beginning because of her honesty and forthrightness – and probably for her faith in God. Taking things head on and not denying her mistakes, and not afraid to speak out about issues that need to be heard. The media is definately slanted hard over to the left as she is to the right (pun intended).
Who cares?
It is about time that the media, including CNN, stop reporting such incinsequential trivia. There are at least three wars going on today, almost thee million Americans lost their jobs in 2008, the economy is tanking, and we have lot of rebuilding to do in the USA and worldwide. Somewhere there are people making intensive efforts to make the world better. How about g reporting on the contributors to society's benefit instead of the detractors.
She's still in the news because people still comment on her. Stop the comments, the "news" about her will stop.
If I were you Sarah, I would Shut up.
Go away.
welcome to the big leagues governor.
the whining is deafening. and this coming from someone who fed off blogs while trading in twisted tales of Obama paling around with terrorists when it was politically convenient. Now she wants to bite the hand that feeds her. She's only further damaging an already tattered reputation as being someone who can't even respond to the simplest question without reading loads of her own paranoia into it.
Officially a tabloid queen.
How cheap.
The media still covers people convinced Obama is an alien and cavorts with terrorists.
People are still trying to link the Clintons to Vince Foster's suicide in some sinister way.
Every politician has his or her stupid stories to deal with. The vast majority of readers couldn't care less. In fact it probably elicits sympathy towards the slandered pols.
So if someone writes something on the web about Palin's son, the best she can do is keep her indignation to herself. Right now she appears to be whining, because, well, she is.
I never once hear any responsible journalist from the main stream media give credence to the crackpot notion that Trig was not Palin's child. I did however hear many mainstream outlets give credence to the crackpot ideas that Obama was Muslim and/or born in another country. In some of her comments, Palin herself even gave credence to the idea that Obama is Muslim.
Quote of the day:
"When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or, you know, maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, man, that doesn't do us any good. Women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. I don't think it's, it bodes well for her – - a statement like that." – Sarah Palin
Hasn't she gone away yet? Palin's lack of political success is the direct result of her significant inadequacies. What's so difficult to understand about that?
Maybe Sarah could pal up with her buddy Joe the plumber who is now going to be a fantastic "war correspondent" for Israel..PLEASE!....now that would be a great team...Dumb and Dumber reporting from Israel!!!
Sarah may even see Israel from her house as well, who knows!!!
I swear she's like Bush's alter-ego! She is INCAPABLE of seeing how she has wraught what she has sowed.
She's hot – VERY HOT ... keep the stories coming CNN!! And ... would you please add more photos? Thanks
Is she the hottest Governor of all time?
A sign of intelligence is understanding what you do not know. This woman was clearly unqualified for vice president and not smart enough to know that her lack of knowledge could endanger America. Then again, from what we have seen, maybe she just did not care as long as she got what she wanted. Palin blames everyone but her lack of real education, in the fields’ necessary, to run a 21st. century America. I am so proud that my country saw through this very plastic hate-monger. She came to our state and from the podium attempted to stir up crowds who came for a political rally into a mob. Go away Sarah Palin, we have real problems in America and are tired of your side show. Your 15 minutes of fame is over...
OOPS! now you know, Governor Palin. What goes around, comes around.
What I want to know is how she can go around preaching conservative/religious values when her own daughter is having a kid out of wedlock.
I didn't vote for McCain/Palin nor do I care for them. However, the rumors about her baby, Trig, not being hers is a little bit too much. If it's not her baby, then whose is it? Surely not Bristol as some have claimed. Bristol just gave birth! Trig and Tripp are not even 1 year apart, I don't believe. Enough of this foolishness with the Palins, please. Let her and her family alone to tend to Alaska's affairs. And it's the media that keeps focusing on her, drumming up stuff just to have a piece in the news...not worthy if you ask me....more important things are going on in this world to cover than constantly bringing Sarah Palin and her family into the spotlight.
I consider the statements made by Gov. Palin's office as being way to soft and polite to the media. The media goes way to far in their attempt
to discredit this woman. I understand the contempt for the republican party. As a republican for all my life; 41 voting years, I am appalled at
what the republican party has become. But I have not given up on the
principles of America and what it means. I consider Sarah Palin to be
a "Great American". She has risen to where she is on her own; not
by the republican party, not by the wealthy with an adjenda, but on her
own belief's and trying to make America a better place
If she keeps behaving like this, she's going to eventually alienate the conservatives who admire her most. At some point, they're going to consider her behavior to be unpresidential.
This coming from a women who not only insulted Barak Obama by calling him a terrorist, not to mention other serious personal attacks, but stuck by her accusations. Talk about a double standard. Look, when you dish it out, you better be able to take it.
Palin, how do you look at yourself in the mirror everday? You're such a hypocrite. You dish it out, but you can't take it. Still begging to be in the spotlight we see. Do us a favor and stay out of the media. You bring this upon yourself, can't you see that?
I truly appreciate Mrs. Palin's response to issues. The more she speaks, the more confident I am that our country will not be further exposed to her as a potnetial leader of the free world.
Is it just me, or does this seem like someone else is speaking for her? I mean, the Trig rumor came out a long while ago, she could have addressed it when she interviewed with Katie Couric, but she was likely unaware because she probably doesn't know how to read. Why are we still hearing about her anyway?
She expects to be held accountable, but when she was held accountable she abused her office, defended herself, and gave herself a clean bill of health. This is one totally hypocritical person. As for the business about the press, she seems to be singularly uninformed about the Internet, which has changed the face of "reporting" considerably. Do they even have Internet service in Alaska, is it? The press in fact gave Palin credibility by reporting what she said; the people who discredited her were ordinary citizens, bloggers, who said the obvious–this is one dumb wacko...Anyway, why is this creep still in the news?
Shut up, go away, you media seeking liar. How long are we going to have to endure this moron? If this is what the Republican party is serving up as its best and brightest then we are all in trouble.
sarah – leave now..don't let the door hitcha where the good lord splitcha
I think she lacks self-confidence and maturity. She is constantly trying to explain herself because she knows she is not on the up and up.
Why does the news media keep giving this woman a venue? She is no longer relevant.
Regardless of what one may think of Gov. Palin, News reporting officially died in 2008. Similarly, journalism reverted back to the era in 1900's of "Muckracking". Few agencies are left to provide accurate, unbiased news, and the those who are left do not have the finances to compete with FOX, CNN, ABC,NBC, CBS, or thw wanna-be print media (that died years ago).
Most of you people defending the media or bashing Palin are a joke. The media are sleazeballs, do identify only with the spineless far left elements, and have to focus on peripheral stories and issues outside of the real scope to be taken seriously.
Have fun you anal, uptight, losers!
Oh, if you have comments, send them to your Mom and she will forward them on to me. I try to steer clear of CNN as my source for news!
Sara Palin needs help, not from the media, but from a psychiatrist.
(SOON)
Just GO Home. The majority of americans have had ENOUGH of haters like you. GO HOME and please dont shoot any more defenseless wolves from an airplane so that they nip at there backs from the pain of being shot and crawl back to there dens so you can kill the rest of the pack!!!!!!!!!! Really Sarah would Jesus DO THAT?!!!!!!!! Maybe if you and your friends and family stopped doing that, maybe if you saw it for the in humane act that it is...... maybe people might think there is a heart after all in that frozen Alaskan one you must have somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ve
The best action all media can take regarding Governor Palin is to simply ignore her.
We have enough to think about without hearing her complaints.
Media, Just Say No More Palin!
If she lived in a village of idots, she would be the VILLAGE IDIOT!
Sarah... I though you are a Maverick! Sarah is sounding like a sour sore loser. You lost now move on!!!!! Urrrggg.
Hope,
So, writing a book shows that you are ready to be a senator? And I have seen some interviews that Caroline has given, HUH HUH.....that's what she starts out saying. Sarah was not a great "surprise" speaker either but at least I can see it from both sides!
GO SARAH, you have been silenced for the last time.
I'm always surprised at the comments made by supposed adults. I'm surprised at the sicko people who feel they need to comment. You rip a person apart for no rational reason. Sick, Sick, Sick. I fear for our country.
do you guys all hate her so much lol
she didnt even do anything wrong ever!?
2.8 million jobs were lost last year. Our economy is in shambles and Sarah Palin rails about the "unfair scrunity of her and her family by the media. She claims press coverage distorts her remarks, Katie Couric doesn't ask the "right questions". I don't care to hear her views on how she feels maligned by the press because misinformation is printed about Levi Johnston, the clothes the RNC purchased for her, the travel expenses paid by taxpayers for her family, and the money she receives for working at home in Wasilla. If she made herself more accessible to interviews we would figure out what to believe about her. Instead she manages her image as a "maverick" then crys foul when the press digs deepe and the bloggers go wild and questions arise that maybe she's not who she says she is. She snubs the debate moderator by saying she's going to talk directly to us and not answer debate questions. She isolates herself from mainstream media interviews; uses her children as props to further her own political ambition then crys foul when a late night comedy show uses "humor" at the expense of her children.
She smiled as her supporters cried out to 'Kill' the "Terrorist', in the same way that she smiled when they called her a 'hottie'. Mind you, these are 'adults' (i.e. collective mindset of those you would find at a Palin Klan rally).
African-American members of the media covering her hate festivals were threatened.
And somehow she is the victim?
I think it's time to haul off her 'Bubba Gump’ lower-lip to a movie studio lot somewhere.
How long is Palin's post-mortem going to drag on. These continued, and increasingly whiny efforts to blame everyone but her own shortcomings - and McCain's poor judgment in picking her - for their defeat is getting very old, and will certainly not winning her any new friends or admirers! Let it go, guv!
Why does the media continue to give this Idiot a form. John McCain should be sued for this. Republicans should be given an I.Q. test before being allow to run for public office.
As dumb as she is, she's absolutely right (for once). All the media cares about is making sure the price of the advertising time and space that they sell is as high as possible....that means having a high share of the market for viewership/readership and a high click count on websites. How do you do that?
Step 1 – Understand that Americans are starving for controversy and gossip.
Step 2 – Report EVERYTHING as though it is a controversy even though it is just gossip.
Robin, here's an idea, have your girl quit throwing herself out there, dragging her family around, essentially be quiet. If you don't like the attention then don't ask for it CONTINUALLY. She needs to quit being the incredible hypocrite and give it up. Did she voluntarily agree to be the VP candidate, was she forced into any of her poor decisions such as appearing on SNL or with Kouric, was she forced to drag her family back and forth across the country, on stage after stage? Now SARAH! has asked for and received tremendously more attention than any loosing VP candidate in history. It is unbelievable.
By the way, I am glad FOX News has never mentioned any of this.......
I fully expect CNN.com to not post my comment since I'm not calling Sarah Palin a bimbo. The liberal media has (or always has been?) fiercely misogynist. It's okay to personally attack female politicians' families, but not male politicians. It apparently also okay to count the number of times a female says "you know" in an interview. How about we start the count on Barack? Once he finally gets to sit in the big-boy chair he's not going to be able to use the "there's only one president" line to avoid controversy. Voting "present" won't be acceptable either.
Palin is trying to extend her 15 minutes. If she reads this I hope she will see that 99% of the comments are of a "give it up" nature and that she may begin to absorb that.
The media including CNN, MSNBC, Time, New York Times......... got the person they want in the White House. They did it. Not the American people. This was not about votes. It was pure brainwashing. What is happening with Palin is further evidence of their destructive power.
Regardless of her own "salacious remarks" made during the campaign, the one thing that really turned me off about Sarah was that she was the one who chose to subject her family under the media microscope, during what was obviously a difficult time for her daughter. What kind of Mom would do that? If I were her daughter, I doubt that I would be speaking to her right now.
Doesn't Sarah realize that if she would just shut up and stay home there wouuld be nothing for the press to talk about.....
She is her own worst enemy.
Palin 2012!!...God, I hope not.
Waaa....Waaa......Waaa. Is everyone picking on you Sarah. If the press, like so much of the country, doesn't like you, then stop talking to it!!
“But the personal, salacious nature of recent reporting, and often the refusal of the media to correct obvious mistakes, unfortunately discredits too many in journalism today, making it difficult for many Americans to believe what they see in the media.”
And because of her track record and the dumb answers she gave during the campaign, it's difficult for THIS American to believe ANYTHING Caribou Barbie says.
Govenor Palin is the quintessential republican....never admit a mistake, never apologize and cover your egregious actions by attacking someone else...anyone else...and lie if you have to. Very few persons have been 'scrutinized' as publicly as Senator Clinton has been, both recently during the presidential campaign and years ago during the Clinton administration. Allegations have been made against John McCain and his family by George Bush during their campaign and Mrs Palin made her own "terrorists" allegations against Mr. Obama without any regrets. It is a simple case of someone who can "dish it out" but "can't take it"... thank heavens that most of the Americans could see through the veneer. What did George once say...you can't fool ?????????
Palin is stupid? What about Obama? If it weren't for affirmative action, he'd be a middle manager in a paper company. He wouldn't know a detail if it hit him in the head.
Lazy journalism strikes again at CNN. Why not another story on Britney. Spears?
Move Journalism forward. I know you compete with with Fox but you do not have to be them to win ratings.
Ted Turner must be vomiting right know.
Welcome to politics, Sarah. If you were a real politician, you'd have realized a long time ago that one side attempts to discredit the other side... just like you did to Obama! I'm so sick and tired of seeing this STUPID "hockey mom" STILL on the news pages. Go away, Sarah. No one in the US will ever vote for you for anything. Go back to covering up your dysfunctional family.
You people are pathetic, you all complain about how you don't want to see anymore about her but here you are complaining on the wall that your tired of it. YOU ARE ALL STUPID.
This woman is so desperate for attention. It still doesn't change the fact that she is and will continue to be...unqualified to lead in any capacity.
Wow! Who wrote that statement for her? These words are NOT in her vocabulary.
Is this the same woman that falsely accused Barack Obama of palling around with terrorists?
Perhaps she shouldn't be in the spotlight if she can't handle the attention.
I keep trying to read the comments, but they all just say Baaaa, Baaaa, Baaa. I guess not much more can be expected from the 'Media Sheep' on the left. What's that, you got a comment on what I've said? Sorry, all I hear is Baaa, Baaa, Baaa.
Come on CNN. Practice what you preach-Freedom of Speech- and post this one!
She's right... the liberal bias in the media is downright nauseating and I'm a Democrat. The press man-handled her from day one and I'm glad she's finally standing up to them. I will no longer read the New York Times or watch any news from NBC... they lost all credibility in my eyes.
She complains that Katie Couric thinks that she is center of the universe. She complains that the media attacks her children when she brings them to the RNC and rallies. She denies that her children are dropouts. I'm sorry to say but when you quit school to get a G.E.D. or take correspondence courses your still a high school dropout. I know some of you people wonder why the media keeps giving her coverage but I think it is because everytime they turn around she spews out another lie. They should be exposing her everytime she speaks as my 10 year old daughter can put together better sentences.
I can't believe what I am hearing. Governor Palin criticizes the press for reporting "salacious" remarks, but she had no qualms about accusing President-Elect Obama of palling around with terrorists?
My Mom used to have a saying for that: You can dish it out, but you can't take it.
GO AWAY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THINGS HOLY!!!!!!
Oh Gov. Sarah...........Nothing is ever your fault, is it? If the media is so evil why do you still seek them out at every opportunity??? (I'm guessin' that no one forced you to appear on SNL before the election). Please do us all a favor & govern Alaska & give the rest of us some peace.
John in Iowa January 9th, 2009 12:19 pm ET
I seriously doubt the coverage of Kennedy will be anywhere near as intense as the coverage on Palin.
But I guess that might be because Kennedy isnt trying for the VP position!!
Just a slight difference there on job importance and what it would mean to not just the US but the world stage.
"seemingly arbitrary ways in which news organizations determine the level and kind of scrutiny given to those who aspire to public office"
Yeah isnt it strange how the media seem to concentrate more on the people going for the more powerful positions, go figure

Do-do the press is not scrutinizing Caroline because she's not making a fool of herself. When you act like a clown you will get laughs. Sarah Palin likes the attention.
Politics are not about personal issues....they are about what affects our nation's interests regarding it's own policies and procedures – including the many problems other nations are facing. Regardless of what is said about Palin everyone that posted negatively on this site is drawn to the false rumors leading many to critique the personal life of someone trying to make a difference. Back off and get a life....and pick up a copy of National Inquirer in order to catch-up on the "real" issues.
Can we please stop talking about Sarah Palin? The people that care about these non-issues need to get a life. Leave her to Alaska.
This from the woman who tried to convince us all that Obama is a Socialist and who allowed hate into her rallies?
when are we going to stop talking about this dark spot in American history?
OH, that explains a lot, I'm reading comments from people the listen too the slanted CNN. Some of you are pathetic...... HA
Perhaps, Governor Genius, Caroline Kennedy will be accorded a different level of respect from the media because, as you'll recall, her father for his country took a bullet in the brain.
I wonder if Carolyn Kennedy will be raked over the coals by the media as bad a Palin was???? After all, Carolyn has absolutely NO experience other that her name to go on.
Oh yes, I forgot, Carolyn is a democrat and the LEFT WING media will handle her with kid gloves.
So much for fairness in the media.
Journalism truely has died in America!!!!!!!!!!
"I've visited 57 states and I'm planning to visit the 58th".... B. Obama
If a conservative had said that, he wouldn't have been elected president. That's worse than Dan Quayle and potatoe. The media doesn't even pretend to be unbiased anymore.
I had not heard this story about Trig, I am suspecting because most mainstream medias would not touch it. Bloggers, on the other had, have little to no oversight as most politicians know.
With all due respect Ms. Palin, I would hope you would remove yourself from any more national media attention. It is time to be gracious and grateful for the brief stint you had. You have and continue to provide us with more than enough evidence that you are not ready to play for prime time.
Sarah Palin loves America, period.
You can't say the same about Barack and Michelle Obama.
Every time Palin opens her mouth she just emphasizes how inept and self-importat. Forget about Palin and concentrate on the several wars we're enbroiled in, our economic woes and natural disasters to be dealt with.
I thought the movie Nailin Paylin did her extreme justice!
It is astonishing to me that Ms. Palin continues to castigate the "Main Stream Media" for their supposed attacks on her. Of course, she will get preferential treatment from a member of the far right press – who are NOT mainstream. Her "gosh darn" and continuous dropped "g" at the end of words are painful to listen to. She is the one who regularly paraded her children on stage and then complained when comments were made. Overall, it is my hope that she will continue her work as Alaska's governor and just stay out of the lower 48!
You libs are HILARIOUS! The comments telling people "You lost, Move on" aren't nearly as effective from people who still cry about the 2000 election results! Seriously!
Why won't this woman disappear? And why is she always "blasting" the media?
GO AWAY!
The media, including CNN, is paid off by the democratic party
As if Sarah Palin and what she thinks is of any significance. It is always so helpful for the American people to have something/someone so trivial to obsess over so they don't have to look at what really matters.
Quick! somebody call a WHAAAAAAAMBULANCE!!!
WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES GOVERNOR. GROW SOME THICKER SKIN AND GET YOURSELF EDUCATED. THEN STOP BEING A PARTISAN PAIN AND STOP SAYING STUPID THINGS. MAYBE THEN YOUR PRESS COVERAGE WILL CHANGE.
Poor little Sarah. Must be hard trying to keep your name public for 4 years while waiting for her next shot at President...
whine whine whiner....
Everytime she opens her mouth to criticize the media or someone else, she really shows John McCain what a great choice he made in selecting her and to theoretically be in charge of this country. Please come out from under the desk Sen. McCain and apologize to the people of the world.
Kevin in ohio, i'd like to say you're an idiot.
Secondly, Sarah Palin might as well get used to it. The media reports on things whether they've been proven to be wrong or not. And I agree she needs to shut up and go into hiding
I'll start by saying that I don't think that Palin was qualified to be VP, but saying that because Caroline Kennedy attended an Ivy League school and wrote a few books, etc. makes her qualified to be a Senator is a bit elitist. Not necessarily the resume I'm looking for in my US Senator. How about startin' off with something a little more local.
Oh wait, her Daddy was president. I think Chelsea should be appointed then. Or how 'bout the Bush twins. What's Amy Carter up to these days?
I really hope the Republican Party doesn't hitch their wagon to this women. Though the Republican Party loves her, for some reason, she turns so much of the rest of the electorate off. I think Mccain was smart to get a woman, he just picked the wrong one, and unfortunately it may have ruined her chances to ever be a vp or presidential candidate.
Cry me a river.
Gov. Palin is absolutely accurate in her analysis of the bias in media reporting. It is shameful the levels we have stooped to in this country, through unchecked(liberal) media. We take the rights people have given their lives to defend, and we squash them into the ground. Our forefathers could never have imagined the power and bias media could wield, or they would surely have legislated for that. This country was founded very consciously on the tenets of fairness and equality for all. For ALL.
Can you imagine if a Republican had done what Blogojevich or Richardson has done? They would be relentlessly crucified in the media. How about Obama appointing all the liberal old guard and pop culture mavens? Give me a break. When Bush appointed some he had experience with in Texas, he was accused of pulling together his "cronies". Not only is Obama bringing in what would have been accused of as being cronies, he is bringing in the same faces we have seen before-yet his campaign mantra was "CHANGE".
I would like to hear the media judge him as harshly as it did Bush, to be fair. OR, conversely, how about if the media backs off of all the mud slinging, biased or not, and lets the real news be what is reported?
If she would stop talking and the media would stop covering her, I think we would all be better for it.
Gee Sarah, of course it's all about *you,* isn't it?
In fact, it's true. If Palin wants to know the reason she lost, all she has to do is get up, and take a good, long, HONEST look at the mirror.
Keep the dirt on Palin coming! Trailer trash is always fair game – look at all the jokes about Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, and similar illiterate states.
She just cannot stay without asking for trouble from media. why blame now?
Show up more, lash more... just keep busy.
Seriously, Hope? Caroline Kennedy is qualified to be a Senator because she "graduated from an Ivy League college" and "has written books'? Really? And for all you stupid liberals complaining about "another Palin story" the answer is real simple: DON'T READ IT, DON'T CLICK ON IT, SCROLL PAST IT YOU NIMRODS!!!
Well, the media said McCain was a Maverick, but he turned out to be more like the Chevy Vega. Darn media, can't trust 'em. But the fact is that Down's happens more often to older mothers than younger ones; odds are Sarah's the mom. You betcha! But she's still a thick-headed loudmouth.
I just hope she doesn't end up in a mental institution. She is really not stable. Maybe she should see a shrink to get herself together and clear her conscience....
C'mon Sarah get off it. A senate seat is not a heartbeat away from the presidency. And as for being exploited, you sure seemed to enjoy it while you were in the limelight. You're a little fish in a very big pond. When you start in National politics, there are some very mean and viscious "baracuda's" bigger than you out there, and they have no morals or scruples, so get used to it.
If you were so appalled at the sketches on SNL, why did both you and McCain agree to appear on the show?
I support Palin on this.......God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Lord! Why is MSM so focused on this woman? She is not intelligent. She plays the victim card constantly. Just suck it up Sarah! The way you're going, you will lose your bid for Govenor, but you'll get a great offer from Faux News!
Sarah Palin is a BIG LIAR, she's a Republican, what more can you expect from them. Sarah why haven't you release your medical records yet, Gee, I wonder why, something there to hide. This woman is a nut case and for all you rethugs out here, who truly think she's qualified to be president, you're just as crazy as that nut case. The republicans are trying everything they can think of to make her(Palin) look as if she's so right and everyone else is wrong, NEWS FLASH, ( she's dumber than a cucumber ). How in the world can she blame the media and the Dem. on things she said and did on the campaign trail, O, that's right she's a Republican, the party that screws up every thing and blame the mess on someone else. Just look at what the Rethugs are saying about this counties problems, it's not Bush or Cheney fault, it's Franks, it's Bill Clinton, it's Obama, it's Nancy P. ,it's Reed, but not Bush and his rethug admin., nope, not theirs, it's the Dem., Take responsibility for your screw ups.
Looks like all the comments are from "That side"...
Paternity testing – DNA testing – could slam the door shut on this. Why not consent to it?
why does CNN still think she is news?
She's suffering from Menopause...poor moron...she's so stupid and she has to understand the game of politics. Which is to never go or attack the media and expect them to be your friends. She pretty much declared war on the media in the Republican convention like no other. Dumb idiot!!
Of course she doesn't understand because she has a journalims degree out of 6 colleges.
Go Sarah! Keep'em sweating! The media is dead. Fox is the only place to get ballanced coverage. And, please don't bring up Hannity and O'reily.....they are commentators, not newscasters. But, even THEY bring upposing viewpoints to their shows.
I am so sick of this woman. I love how when it becomes apparent that the majority of the American people do not agree with what she says, she tries to lay the blame on the interviewer or the media in general. Hey Sarah, news flash here for ya, the only person that distorts anything you say is YOU! I feel sorry for you that you were so uneducated to the fact that once you accepted the GOP nomination for VP, you and your entire family, the way you have "governed" EVERYTHING you have done, would be under the microscope! It is the same way for everyone else did you think you would be any different? Good god I am so glad this moron is not a heartbeat away from being our President. Stop your complaining and go do your job while you still have one.
Too bad that Kevin in Ohio has less than 1/2 a brain. . .
The fixation with Palin is getting tiresome. The election is over. It is time to move on to matters of greater concern. The next presidential campaign is a long three years away.
How about a little cheese with that whine sister Sarah!
Delusional at best, pathetic at worst.
I get a kick of these repubs screaming about media bias. If CNN is liberal, someone forget to tell Lou Dobbs. To be honest, Ed Rollins is but the only repub talking head that I respect.
Like it or not Shaggy, you are stuck with him unless you want to go back to Europe.
HOPE commented that she thinks Caroline Kennedy is ready to be a senator because she wrote a book? All I have to say is that I'm glad I don't live in NY. Come on Hope, it can't have anything to do with her last name would it?
I guess she dosen't think she's a Idiot, but then neither do all Republicans.
Palin has nothing to compare, Kennedy is a running for a Senate seat, Palin was the VP pick on McCain's ticket. She was not a "candidate", McCain was. She knew when she accepted the VP pick she was going to put her family thru intense media watching, and she did it anyway. I do not feel sorry for her, she is white trash, her kids are white trash. Can she shut her trap?? She really does talk too much.
It wouldn't be a good strory if she would just show us a picture of her pregnant or get any doctor to confirm she ever was pregnant with Trig or show us a picture of her daughter when she supposedly had mono and was taken out of school for six months (but was actually pregnant!)!!!!!!!!!
This such old news. But a fair question is indeed raised:
Is the media biased? What happened when Obama asked the media to leave his family alone?
Does Governor Palin really believe that she can enter the campaign, question all aspects of President-Elect Obama's life, forge a campaign of doubt about his background that causes hate, and then NOT expect her junk to be exposed? That just proves her stupidity. Stop speaking with the media. Take some time to rebuild your character and self-esteem, Governor. Your comments only make others remember the times that YOU faltered. Focus on your family and your job. END OF STORY!!!
Who's running Alaska while Sarah airs her grudges about the loss of the election?
Would someone please tell her her 15 minutes are up?
It wouldn't be a good story if she would just show us a picture of her pregnant or get any doctor to confirm she ever was pregnant with Trig or show us a picture of her daughter when she supposedly had mono and was taken out of school for six months (but was actually pregnant!)!!!!!!!!!
My liberal hatred is reserved for those incompetent Republican imbeciles who failed at the job of protecting the USA on 9/11, then lied us into foolish and unnecessary war, trampled our constitution, denied economic reality as we were sliding into the next great depression brought on by eight years of Republican borrowing and spending and deregulating, and for those who support such lies. You betcha!
Hey Palin – Bloggers are only filling in for the press.
Since the press won't do (or can't do) serious commentary and point out the shortcomings of so called political candidates it is left up to individuals to point out and mock the fools, hillbillies, hypocrites and delusional religious nut jobs that run for public office. They are defending deMOCracy one MOCK at a time.
By the way what would you do if Putin said something "not nice" about ya? Cry, whine and complain that he's not being fair? With your thin skin it's obvious your not prepared for major political office.
Welcome to the "bigs" baby. And by the way to quote Tom Hanks, "there's no crying in baseball"
Sarah Palin certainly did not care about setting the record straight when members of her party called Obama a Muslim, a terrorist, a socialist etc. As ye sow, shall ye reap.
Get used to it grandma grizzly; it will get far worse during the 2012 primary. If you think this is bad, wait until you see and hear what your Republican rivals say about you and your family.
How much u wanna bet...she had to look up the meaning of the word salacious? Hah!
I agree with Kevin in Ohio. All far right wingers have half a brain!
Palin, you're the one who incited "kill Obama" at your rallies. You're the one who gave the stupid answers. You're the one who spent the RNC's $100k+ on your wardrobe. Stop blaming others. IT WAS YOU!!
Playing the role of poor victim seems to be the current Palin fall-back strategy- particularly if one has no credible response to legitimate media criticism. And speaking of the media- lashing out as Palin has done, only supports her thesis that the media is on the wrong side of the issue [that is, if you adhere to the science of Palintology] whenever there is disagreement with her ethical, political, social, or intellectual frailties. Reminds one of a certain American politician who once pronounced, he,"won't have the press to kick him around anymore"-and we all know what ultimately happened to him!
PALIN IS OFFICIALLY A....
TABLOID QUEEN.
If she was to make a statement on the high number of unempolyed individuals in her state and how that will impact her ability to provide services to all the people residing in Alaska – then that would be considered news worthy but her whining reflects why she is not fit to be the VP of this country. CNN please stop printing anything that she whines about.
Like I said months agao, she's too stupid to know how stupid she really is.
PALIN SHUT UP ALREADY OKEY
right you are Lisa in Ga
@SHAGGY,
Excuse yourself, your ignorance is showing. Affirmitive action did not put Obama where he is today. Its called hard work and good education silly. Maybe if you had the same type of credentials you can possibly make something of yourself
I know it can't be a serious topid, but I can't believe it is even discussed that she may run for President. Is anyone that stupid? Democrats will be laughing all the way to the White House if the GOP ever tries that. But hey, it will be great every Saturday night at 11:30pm.
I'm sorry, but Sarah Palin was one of the biggest news stories of the year. For good or bad, she became a household name. Since she was campaigning to be second in command of the most powerful nation on earth, all of her imperfections became relevant, including her inept interviews. They in themselves became news, and they would have been news whichever of the candidates gave them.
What an idiot
Yo' Frigid Spice, I am sure 85% of American citizens had no clue about the Trig rumor, since it was only on the web and websites, not in the national media.
Guess what, Missy Moron, you just managed to get it front and center in the MSM you hate so much, except when your exploiting it like you are now.
The defense of Sarah is incredible. She used salacious in one of her comments. I guess that these things that offended her must have come from one of the "bad parts of america." Come on Sarah, can't you just go away. Called Obama "unamerican" and that he "Hung out with terrorists " and a "socialist". Now those things are really salacious. Saying like they were "Back home digging" and how she stopped the pipeline were lies. The pipeline is 10 years from the start and she actually asked for the pipeline and got and kept 300 million for it that she kept. Each family of four in Alaska receives almost $15,000 from the oil companies and yet they still have the 2nd higest tax rate in the country. They also receive three time the dollars in federal money that the average state gets. Ahead of a state with less population than Memphis. I can see why 65% of americans thought she was not qualified. This interview is a typical of a person who will not take responsibility for her own actions. Blame the media.
Here we are about to turn the page and start afresh with a new presidency, an historic one at that, and all this woman can do is moan and whine about the past. Whatever happened to the Republican creed about taking personal responsibility? Own up to your actions, and stop blaming the elite, the media, Kati Couric, John McCain and his campaign, Tina Fey, or whoever else you think is to blame for your own downfall. Really, she is doing herself no favors.
Hey, Bubba...no fair. I had a Vega. Transmission went at 29 000 miles.
This Idiot can't stand to see Obama getting all this press and it's driving her crazy. In her mind she believes they should have won. People like Sarah don't go away, because she's convinced herself that we want to hear from her. What a Idiot.
Palin, you're the one who incited "kill Obama" at your rallies. You're the one who gave the stupid answers. You're the one who spent the RNC's $100k+ on your wardrobe. Stop blaming others. IT WAS YOU
This is becoming absurd. Sarah cries and whines her same poor me story about how much the media hates her. And her every word is ravenously devoured by that very same media.
Is it just me, or are we in a feedback loop of doom?
Ms. Palin could do herself and everyone else a favour by just keeping quiet. Her 15 minutes are way up already, and further comments on her part only serve to finish what is left of her 'image', because whilst still blaming the media and even Tina Fey for her portrayal, Ms. Palin is yet to look at the mirror and see that she was the only publisher of her own flaws.
I bet she doesn't know what "salacious' means. Probably thinks it's a delicious salad or something ...
Palin is a comedian – now she is blaming the media – I think I remember Palin appeared on Saturday Night Live by choice. As far as Tina and Katie they figured Palin out the minute they met her.What a joke
Right on,
Hold your ground Sarah. I have found that the most accurate reporting comes from the PBS stations.
ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and CNN all manipulate their reporting for sensationalism, this includes the reporters facial expression, body language and asking questions that redirect the discussion away for actual news value and towards sensationalism.
Just watching your interview with Katie Couric, they panned the camera and face shots back and forth between you two in such away to stack the odds against you. It was reporting at its worst. After that garbage, I only watched the debates on PBS. The last thing I need is a two faced hypocryte from ABC, NBC or CBS trying to sway my opinion.
Just hang tuff girl, you got my vote.
HWR
Reno, Nevada
just go away...
Poor Sarah, dishes it out, but can't take it.
PLEASE enough, your 15 minutes is over, just stop talking!
Please just go away. John McCain was a gracious loser...learn something from him.
All levels of the media had a distinct double standard when it came to reporting about Governor Palin.
Every bit of negative inuendo involving Sarah Palin and her family was hashed and re-hashed while the same reporters / networks / publishers competely and deliberately ignoring very serious issues involving Mr. Obama.
As a country, we are now stuck with an upcoming administration which will make sure everything looks as negative as possible ( and the media will help) so at some point in the future the new president can come riding in on his white horse to save the day with more entitlements, wellfare and budget busting spending.
I would be happy if the media never reported on Palin or her family ever again! I can't stand hearing from her or about her and change the channel whenever she's in the news.
I agree with her to an extent, but when you base part of your political philosophy on family values and virtue, and you put yourself in the public light with an unmarried, pregnant daughter, you have to take what is given. She knew 100% what she was getting into, and if she didn't want her family scrutinized – which how can she claim it wouldn't be – she should not have accepted the VP nomination. I do not feel sorry for this power hungry, attention-starved woman.
Go away Jaws...you lost, get over it!!
WHO CARES? PLEASE STOP WITH THE PALIN HYPE – SHE IS JUST TRYING TO KEEP HER NAME OUT THERE.
The clueless pathological liar blames everyone else for her clueless ignorance. She ran a dirty campaign and then got her just reward – its called KARMA. You betcha!
This woman has no self introspection whatsoever. She blames the republican "powers that be" for insisting that she go to the followup Couric interview! She doesn't blame herself for not preparing, for not performing well. She blames others for sending an idiot to the interviews.
GA Independent,
No, it was a written statement. We all tend to write better than we speak. Although I doubt she wrote this on her own. She still can't speak very well.
that's what comes with being a public figure, whether politician or celebrity. What a winer!
The Devil controls media, period.
Why would one ever want to mess with someone who knows how to handle a firearm, especially when there is no one at home upstairs?
Unfortunately, Ms. Palin's life has become little more than a soap opera and tabloid fodder......which news organizations and readers in general can't take their eyes off of.
Perhaps her best course of action for the next couple of years is to just lay low and be governor of Alaska........stop hanging herself out to dry for everyone to see.
And while she's laying low, she can catch up on her reading.
The media needs to leave Sarah Palin alone in regards to family. Attack her policies, attack her stances, attack her words but let's leave the family out of it. This is just ugly 'journalism'.
SARAH OH SARAH
OBAMA WOULD HAVE NOT CHOSEN YOU AT ALL
January 9th, 2009 12:30 pm ET
"I just hope she doesn't end up in a mental institution. She is really not stable. Maybe she should see a shrink to get herself together and clear her conscience…"
I will be in therapy for the next 4 years Obama mama.
Isn't it interesting that the liberal media and liberals in general can't take any criticism while they demand their right to criticize everyone!!
CNN...this is NOT news! Let FAUX News do any and all of the reporting on Nanookska of the North!
The George Soros paid for, union supported media really did a job on this woman, and of course the lemmings on the socialist left followed. The things that they have done to this woman and her family and infant son are so contemptable. The lefties are just plain mean spirited especially here. The story about the grandson being born, got over 350 negative, mean contemptible responses here, degrading a new born child. Is that the change Obama was talking about? Must have been since all these sociopaths voted for him. Kinda says a lot about him and them.
Just THREE little words: PLEASE GO AWAY!
It would be easy enough for her to prove that Trig is hers. Just produce the medical records. She has refused to do that. Even the hospital website has no record of Trig being born on his supposed date of birth. Why can't she disprove these things?
Mrs Palin is right, I do not trust the media because they seem to be onesided and to often never retract thier mistakes
Totally agree with Sarah on this one.
Sarah's 15 minutes ran out a long long time ago. Enought already!! Its time to turn out the lights and turn off the microphone on this person who never should have been given the 15 minutes in the first place.
This woman's ego is so huge, that she would say and do anything to stay in the limelight. If she needs to blast anyone else besides Tina Fey, Katie Couric, and the media, in order to keep her name in the news, you better believe she will do so. She's starting to sound like a whiner.
With Jeb Bush in the running for 2012, Sarah has no chance, so she had better shut up and try to bail her unwed mommy daughter's boyfriend's mother out of jail.
Hey Obama Mama – you and the Obamiacs are the ones who need to seek help. The so called journalists have displayed their true colors very clearly during the last campaign. They have shown what they really are – lap dogs for the corrupt Democratic party. No one with any sense listens to a word they say.
Please! Keep this women out of our sight!!! She has NO education and has NO understanding of life in the lower 48 and has NO idea of what goes on in the rest of the world!!!! AND DO NOT compare her to Caroline Kennedy!!! Caroline is highly educated and cares deeply about the welfare of the American people–its in her blood! But Palin is out for Palin and Palin only even above the welfare of her own children!
MEMO TO PALE-ING...
Nobody cares. You lost. Get over it and GET lost!
She certainly is lashing out - seems to live and die by the blame game. The comments about Couric and media are just hilarious – as though the media is responsible for re-phrasing Palin comments until they make sense. Now THAT would be a tough job. The media coverage is one reason why most moms with 5 youngish children wisely refrain from seeking public office, at least until their kids get a little older. My understanding is this parenting allegation is just private blog rumor-mongering coming from Wasilla/Anchorage and the media never picked it up till Palin put it out there...who knows, who cares.
I am so glad she is speaking out. The media elite, CNN , MSNBC in particular (paid for by Obama) did one hell of a job on her and Joe the Plumber, and still continue to , to this day. But that's the way dirty politics of the Clintons go.
Totally agree with Sarah on this issue.
Dan Quayle attacked Murphy Brown.
Palin lashes out at Tina Fey AND Katie Couric.
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Some do it a little more destructively than others. Enter Sarah Palin.
I'm confused.
Why does the media keep feeding the pit bull with lipstick that bites them?
My God..will she ever go away??The only thing the Media is doing wrong is keeping her in front of everyone. She can't take straight questions..could you imagine this looser being vp or president? And comparing her to Kennedy..a real qualified person.
I don't know what is funnier or more sad; the commentary by those that call Sarah Palin stupid or the simple fact that those commentators themselves that have no grasp of the English language or even know how to spell.
Tsk, tsk.
Stop talking and do your job in Alaska!!!!! Your 15 minutes are up.
She's a megalomaniac. An egomaniacial freak. Sarah, no one really cares about you. This is the second article in two days about things that MOST Americans could care less about.
I think I am more worried about how to pay my bills than your un interesting personal life.
And CNN, for the love of God.... I have tremendous respect for you guys but just STOP REPORTING ON PALIN.
There are more important things that you guys need to be concentrating on.
you sound like Sarah's mother Donna. Go away with Her.
Now that I know that Palin is no threat to our country, at least in the near future, I can't get enough of her.
Notice, it's almost 100% men who defend SP. What is that all about? I'll tell you what it's all about – T&A, that's it, end of story. Men, wise up, grow-up, keep it in your pants. SP is not worthy!
At least she managed to state her case in complete sentences this time. I guess she's more comfortable when it comes to whining about media coverage than she is about discussing policy, the Bush Doctrine, newspapers she reads, the role of the Vice President in relation to the Senate, Africa, NAFTA, or just about anything else that involves the application of rudimentary form of intelligence and/or learning.
She did have one amazing accomplishment- she made Dan Quayle and George W. Bush look like Rhodes scholars. That's something.
Next stop on the Palin post-election tour? Another $180,00 shopping and makeup spree so she can look good while preaching her populist "woman of the people" message.
What a joke.
Isn't it interesting that the liberal media and liberals in general can't take any criticism while they demand their right to criticize anyone and everyone about anything they want!!
Salacious- of or appealing to one's sexual desires.
Umm... I know the media has a reputation for being sensational... but I don't think any of the recent reports about Palin have been particularly appealing to my sexual desires. Apparently collegiate vocabulary was never covered at any of her forty-three community colleges.
If you all really have problems with Sarah Palin, then why comment on the article and bother reading it? You can skip over news that you find irrelevent, correct? Please stop complaining, she did not get elected, just get over yourselves. Do you have nothing better to do with your time than get all worked up over someone you dislike and disagree with? No wonder our country is so unproductive.
The women needs a lot of help! Sooo uneducated and cares more about herself than her own children!!! She would never care about the American people!!!
What about all the misleading information, misinformation, personal attacks Sarah put out there regarding Obama. She's a Tripp.
Would someone please tell Ms Palin that her fifteen minutes are up.
What goes around comes right back around to you. She dogged Obama out in the media every chance she got. And I still believe Baby Trigg belong to Bristol. Trig and Tripp are 8 months apart and it is possible for siblings to be 8 9 10 or even 11 months apart!! It is a little suspicious that Bristol missed several months out of school right before baby Trigg was born in April of last year. You can have a baby and go back for your 6 weeks checkup and be pregnant again. Also, everytime Bristol held baby Trigg she held him maternally!! Only a mother holds her baby maternally. Sarah would always hold the baby Trigg other kind of ways accept maternally!!
Idiots like Sarah never go away, because they convince themselves that YOU want to hear everything they have to say. The entire world is waiting for her interview. John McCain she never be allowed to hold public office anywhere for giving us this Idiot.
To those who you know compare Sarah Palin to you know Caroline Kennedy who you know wants to be Senator from NY (you know). You are all you know absolutely right. Sarah you know can't hold a candle to you know Caroline of Camelot (you know).
Those are some mighty big words she was throwing around in that interview also.
What happened to the pitbull with lipstick?
What I really want to know if who composed those sentences for her? They have nouns and verbs in proper order and they do not contain any references to someone or something rearing its head or rising up!! Please, please just go away.
gee, will she ever go away? You have to read every statement 10 times to even try to begin to decipher whatever it is she thinks she is saying.
Total, bonafide idiot. Will the republicans be so stupid, AGAIN, to consider her for anything in their party?
Hey Sarah - You could blame media alll you want but media didn't force you to give stupid answers!! You were trying to use something you don't have.. we usually call it brain!
As for caroline kennedy.. she maybe handled with kid glove but then she is not a heart beat away from the president!!
Again you will never understand this b'cus you are missing an important part in ur body called "brain"
Linda Lee – I hope you're right in your estimated number of American women dumb enough to think Palin is deserving of your support – "thousands". Works for me.
You are like Britney Spears a year or two ago... can't do anything without the media all over it. Stay off camera and keep to yourself, Palin! Thats how Spears took care of things.
Palin seemed to really enjoy herself on SNL, but now whines about it.
From the liberal point of view, Sarah Palin is a gift that just keeps on giving. Keep it up Sarah; your whining is turning off more people and the media every day. But she is not smart enough to know that.
Liberals...and your media...I agree with you and the fact that McCain/Palin lost. So, now that the election is over and most of us rational conservatives understand that, why don't you stop raping Palin? You want her to disappear, then quit bringing her up...posting news...making comments. She ran for an office and lost, now why don't YOU get over it. You better keep your focus on defending your Messiah. I have a very good feeling he's going to need it. By the way, what ever happened to Obama's spiritual leader (Wright)?
I have been watching and reading the news for fifty years.
Sarah Palin is absolutely right!
Somewhere, Edward R. Murrow is weeping...
Palin you constantly put out your venom of lies on Obama, you didn't have any facts on what you were saying about him.......now your complaining about people making up lies about you.........what goes around comes around, what your reap you sow..........so shut up
Good ol Sarah, always pointing fingers. The whole world is against her, and it's always someone else's fault. A true Republican.
What about all the misleading information, misinformation, personal attacks Sarah put out there regarding Obama. She's a Trip.
Palin is a pathological liar, as categorically laid out on Kieth Olberman's show..
Palin blocked the arrest of Terry Johnston, Levi's mom, for drug dealing while campaigning with McCain.
Palin's campaign image was more important that stopping drugs being sold to kids. Palin is profoundly corrupt.
And yet... CNN continues to try to re-habilitate her by putting up these stories without covering Palin's obvious pathological personality.
Sarah, with all of the problems facing the country today, the last thing people are worrying about is how the media is mistreating you. If you want us to take you seriously, talk about America's problems. Even if the media IS treating you unfairly, the best way to deal with it is to MAKE news that the media will be forced to report. Make the discussion about IDEAS rather than about gossip. Otherwise, you look like a bitter and petty loser blaming everyone else for her failures. If you look out your window and you see a mushroom cloud in the distance, don't complain about the window.
How can anyone, liberal or conservative, condone the media running with the story that Trig was not Palin's child? THat is disgusting smut journalism that is way too prevelant in today's society.
ML...forgive the inaccuarate quote..I lost the post
..you said somehting to the effrect that Palin shouldn't be preaching on the points of values since Bristol had a child out of wedlock. Unfortunately, you can only preach to your kids so much. Short of keeping them hog tied at home until they are of age or married just isn't feasible. It was Bristol who got pregnant out of wedlock, not Gov Palin herself. Even the most religious or strict households can have issues that go against what mainstream society considers proper. I understand Gov Palin's desire to knock the media and their often out of control or misguided facts. So here is the deal...media, leave Gov Palin alone and quit hounding her family and her life; Gov Palin, relax and ignore what the media is saying.
I will be strait forward and say I'm a supporter of Sara Palin, as a Gov. I agree that the media has gone beyond reporting on several occasions and their corrections go largly unnoticed because you nay-sayers refuse to keep an open mind.
She was not herself when running with McCain, and I agree with many that it was a slightly bigger bite than she realized. I even agree that she messed up a number of times. But when it comes down to it, the media has seamed to go out of their way on Palin.
"Another report — that Johnston lacked the proper educational requirements for the position he held — resulted in his resignation from the job."
I'd like to note that it was just released that the educational requirement was misstated, by an individual who in trying to hurt Palin hurt an 18 year old father. Way to go media, gunning for kids to hurt public figures.
I tried to leave a comment but this site said my message was all ready posted. Find that hard to believe since I only wrote it this morning at 9:30 am pacific time.
“To create adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
As in "palling around with terrorists," Palin? You're a loon, a fraud and a menace to all good things about America.
Liberals...and your media...I agree with you and the fact that McCain/Palin lost. So, now that the election is over and most of us rational conservatives understand that, why don't you stop raping Palin? You want her to disappear, then quit bringing her up...posting news...making comments. She ran for an office and lost, now why don't YOU get over it. You better keep your focus on defending your Messiah. I have a very good feeling he's going to need it. By the way, what ever happened to Obama's spiritual leader (Wright)?
3rd try to get this comment on CNN!
Isn't it interesting that the liberal media and liberals in general can't take any criticism while they demand their right to criticize anyone and everyone about anything they want!! And it doesn't have to be true or of any relevance!
For all you anti Palin whinebags -
It's not Palin that won't it go – it's these 3rd rate so called journalists that see fit to print whatever they want.
Leave Palin alone and move on. Find someone else to direct your venom at !!!!!
She probably should not run for reelection as governor as she's likely to lose, unless her undeserved celebrity overcomes her obvious personnel and professional shortcomings and deficiencies. She'd probably do well financially if she leaves office and joins the right wing media pundit ranks, write a book (with a ghost writer of course), and make paid appearances. There's still enough of a market for her rubbish to make money, though may be not enough to win in the political arena now.
CNN, knock it off with the Palin's already! Geesh!
Why don't she stay in Alaska? Everytime she opens her mouth, she shows how stupid she is!
I have bee watching and reading the news for fifty years.
Sarah Palin is absolutely right!
Somewhere, Edward R. Murrow is weeping...
Her 15 minutes were up hours ago. Let's move on please!
John McCain has put the campaign behind him, forgotten all about it and simply moved on.
Sarah "Crybaby" Palin just doesn't have that capacity.
Surely, a presidential candidate needs to be made of much better stuff than whatever she's made of.
You are like Britney Spears a year or two ago... can't do anything without the media all over it. Stay off camera and keep to yourself, Palin! Thats how Spears took care of things.
Palin seemed to really enjoy herself on SNL, but now whines about it.
Hey Palin... Couric didn't sit at a table with her chronies and say.... "oooooh, lets get Palin on this question... "What kind of books/literature do you read?" BWAHAHAHA! that will trip her up and she will look like a hick, because shes from Alaska and they don't read anything up there.... BWAHAHAHA!"
Gimmee a break.... decent question.... people just want to know more about you.... Couric isn't "out to get you".
Salacious- of or appealing to one's sexual desires.
Umm... I know the media has a reputation for being sensational... but I don't think any of the recent reports about Palin have been particularly appealing to my sexual desires. Apparently collegiate vocabulary was never covered at any of her forty-three community colleges.
I DID NOT EVEN READ THIS – WHY DOES THE MEDIA CONTINUE TO COMMENT ON THIS WOMAN? ENOUGH ALREADY! I have heard more about Palin than McCain since the campaign ended. Is the media trying to keep this woman in the forefront for some reason?
ENOUGH! Move on to something else, she is a has been and should never be brought up again!
Attention Palin defenders:
Because YOU are unwilling to acknowledge the immaturity and hypocrisy of this woman doesn't mean that none of us should. It's not only our right but our duty as members of a free democratic society to question the veracity of statements made by people so close to power and to point out when such statements conflict with reality.
Thanks for providing the public with a moving target, Sarah. Can't wait to hang your sorry behind on the line for a little dryin' out in 2012.
Uh....Obama's colleague and neighbor....and friend was a part of the Weather Undergroud who was responsible for bombing the Pentagon and attacks on judicial figures. That would indeed make him a domestic terrorist. He is coming out with memoir and shows no remorse for his group's actions.
Excuse me, is there ANYONE who can make this woman shut up! Although, her use of big words is quite startling. Please, we don't care. Just go away.
For all you liberals and hippies out there bashing Palin, I have no problem with that. You're entitled to your crooked opinion, even as displaced as it might be. You people and the media continue to show a Democrat's true character when going after Palin's kids. I feel so sorry for you low income, uneducated, greedy, small minded, weak liberals who think Palin and Republicans are to blame for the world's problems, especially your own. I won't even refer to you people as fellow Americans, because it's so obvious over the course of reading so many comments that you people truly hate our country and every leader with the exception of Obama. Stop being so jealous of people who are in a better situation in life than you. Stop looking for a handout from the government. Your life sucks, Palin has a great life, so you have to complain. Democratic way of life.
Palin accesed the media of creating "adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
As in "palling around with terrorists," Palin? You're a loon, a fraud and a menace to all good things about America.
Maybe, instead of bantering about the country spreading her own vitriol about Obama, liberals, gays, Couric, the media, and the John McCain campain, she ought to just stay home, do her job, and read a friggin book.
Martin:
Please check your sources, our future President did spend time with former and unrepented terrorists. You may not like the truth, but it is a fact. It did not need to be a campaign issue but please do not blind yourself to truth. If we had politicians that would admit their failures as quickly as they admit their successes, there would be less "mean, hate speech" during campaigns.
How about an article on Palin palling around with drug dealers!
Once again the media has to pounce on a Republican so that people will not focus on the wrong doings of the Democrates as they try to take your livelyhood away and make it so that you must be dependent on the government. I thought Russia had been freed, but I guess the Democrates want this country to be the new one that is controlled by the government.
The sad thing is, Gov. Palin USES the media to bemoan the unfair treatment she feels was accorded her because of her gender, social strata, Alaskan heritage, etc. What about using her position as governor and former VP candidate to discuss the dire issues that concern our nation (economy, schools, healthcare, jobs, environment, etc.)? What about bringing up issues abroad such as the Iraq war and Israel/Gaza breakout; not to mention, the trembling world economy.
It seems to me all the governor of Alaska cares about is her image and next promotion. Let's put Gov. Palin on the back burner, and lift our focus towards getting back to business to repair the country and our world.
Who cares? Palin is a no body so please go away!
Bitter much, Ms. Palin? Maybe you should've blinked. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
The American people are going to remember all this complaining you are doing now... come 2012. We want a leader in the Whitehouse, not a complainer.
OGMAB – the media DID handle her with kid gloves. Can you imagine what it would have been like if she'd been african-american with all of her baby-drama, MILF-iness, unwed daughter, drop-out not-son-in-law, drug addicted mother of not-son-in-law, her almost-had-the-baby-on-a-plane-because-she-didn't-seek-appropriate-medical-care, husband-on-welfare-look-alike???? Imagine what the media would have done to Michelle Obama if she'd made the same series of bone-headed mistakes that Sarah Palin did. Every time she opens her mouth she proves how white trashy she really is.
She's absolutely right about the unfair personal scrutiny. As she famously misquoted, "There's a place in hell for women who don't support [sic] other women."
Unfortunately, Palin must have forgot that she previously said this about Hilary:
"When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or, you know, maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, man, that doesn't do us any good. Women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. I don't think it's, it bodes well for her – - a statement like that."
Welcome to hell Sarah, you earned it.
She keeps coming backkkkkkk, go away please!!
How many of you go on the Blog dedicated to just making fun of her special needs child? Stupid liberal hate, plain and simple.
This is the current line for conservatives & Republicans = blame the media. Oh, not the part of the media that's fawning Fox or reliable Rush and the host of other right-wing hosts, not Rupert Murdoch's New York Post or the Wall Street Journal, not those or numerous other parts of the media... but the media, which means the great conspiracy of the liberal media you betcha.
Also the fault of the media: the economic downturn, recent losses by the Boston Celtics, and the snowstorm that's coming into my area tomorrow.
Blaming the media is a lot easier for conservatives & Republicans than doing any serious thinking and uncomfortable analysis. Shucks, it worked for Bush... for a while.
Don't you get it yet! Nothing is her fault. It is the fault of the media, the GOP, or the Dems. BUT NOT HER!!!!!!! Wake up America!! This woman could not run a small dog pound, or her family, much less a country!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a Dummy !!!!!
She criticizes the media and then does more Media ?!?!?!!
She critiicizes SNL TINA FEY MOCKERY OF HER and still goes on SNL ??!?!??!!!??!!??!?
oh god I hope the repubs get her to run in 2012 PLEASE
so the repub party can go down in flames
I have a question.....what is untrue about our President Elect "palling around with terrorists" and being a "socialist". These are both true statements. Palin just pointed out the obvious. Obama admits that he wants to redistribute weath. He also admits that he sat on a board with Ayers and Ayers threw a fund raiser for him. So what exactly was so hateful about any of that?
I used to be one of her biggest defenders.
I believe Palin will keep this up just to stay in the news for the next four years. Her complaints will change, attacking the Obama administration will begin next, but she will try to stay in the limelight to outshine her fellow governors as much as possible trying to get an edge on future elections. Unfortunately, she is more of a politician than a leader concerned about the future of this country.
I can't STAND that woman but in this case I AGREE with her. The children and who is who's momma and/or daddy is not any ones business....
sorry palin is afew fries short of a happy meal
Sarah Palin is still one of the most refreshing politicians we have had in years. Her values are down to earth and good. Her family is good!
I resent the rude and ignorant comments by the media about her family–and the media has lost tremendous credibility with many Americans. Does it make the media feel better to be so vicious in family comments?
This is like Terrell Owens and the Philidelphia Eagles. Its just never goes away......
Thank God America made the right choice. No need for another 4 years of ignorance
Palin you accused Obama of all kinds of stuff that you couldn't prove, you push his as a person who palled around with terrorists, you are now reaping what you sowed, what goes around comes around.......so sit back and shut up..........all you want is attention, you can't stand not being in the limelight.........
I do not doubt that Trig is the spawn of Palin. That, however, is not the heart of the story. The heart of the story is that the oh-so-pro-life Palin tried to kill Trig.
Here we have a woman who is carrying a child known to have Down Syndrome. She is 4-para, so she knows what labor is. She is in Texas. She goes into labor. More than a month early. Does she go to the hospital stat? No, she gets on a plane and flies to Alaska.
This makes no sense unless Palin was hoping hoping hoping that the child would die and free her from the burden of a Down's child.
Evil seems too mild an adjective to predicate of the woman who still wants to start a thermonuclear war, in Jesus' name.
Away with liars and hypocrites like Palin, in Jesus' name, I pray.
Palin's Song; Don't let me get me! (P!ink)
Dear GOD, spare us from this ongoing drama.
Had Palin been a DEMOCRATIC nominee, the far-right-family-values-holier-than-thou crowd would have ...... crucified her...... for her political ambition and her abandoning of her newborn son & family!
SO..... Palin, you can't have it both ways.
Is there some reason this woman doesn't simply get on with her life in Alaska and leave the rest of us alone? Man, she wears on me....
Tina Fey is a low-life scumbag who sold herself out to the highest bidder–her only claim to fame is her slight and homlier resemblance to the Alaska Gov. I hope she sleeps well at night.with her SNL cohorts. She is not qualified to tie Oalin's shoelaces.
Guys, watch out for sarah 'mama grizzly' palin. Seriously, I thought I saw it the other night out my window but was relieved to see just a bear. WHEN WILL THE HORROR ENDDD
WOW! We are all so fortunate that she is not a heartbeat away from the Presidency. She is a lightweight. It’s too hot Sarah, time to get out of the kitchen.
play me a violin. She whines about everything.
McPalin or the "female George Bush" cannot seem to keep her foot out of her mouth. Now she is blaming "the media" for the ridiculous nonsense that she spurts out nearly everyday. Please just go away. Stay up in Alaska and stop giving interviews. If you stop talking to "the media" you will stop making yourself look stupid. Didn't you realize when the republicans picked you they were just looking for a scapegoat ? They knew they were going to lose and could not let one of their "heroes" take the fall so they found you and you were perfect. Have you studied King George's speeches or do you just make this stuff up ? It's obvious that you really don't read anything by the way you communicate and then blame everybody else for the drivel that comes out of your mouth. I hope the republicans do run you in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, in fact ALL THE TIME !!! You will just keep the losing streak going. After all, you & your religious bigot, small town, in-bred, morons need to keep losing & losing & go back into the caves you crawled out of. Good riddance !!!!!
How this dunce called Palin got elected govenor of the great state of Alaska is beyond me. A serious candidate is needed to challenge her in the next gubernatorial election and send her packing to wilderness, to hunt moose.
I lived in Alaska for several years and was there when Sarah Palin was working her way up in the world of politics. I think she is a fine Gov., a great mother, is honest and I hope and pray for great things to come for her in the world of politics~~~~
boo hoo hoo, here is a woman who comes off like a complete ditz when asked the easiest of questions (What newspapers do you read?) then cries about the mean 'ol media out to get her. If you can't take the heat, stay away from politics lady, go cry me a river.
The media DID refute the rumors that Trig was not her baby.
They did so by publishing Palin’s account that when her water broke, she gave a 30 minute speech, drove too the airport, boarded a 4 hour flight to Seattle, then another flight to Anchorage, then drove to a small clinic that not only does not take risky pregnancies, but doesn't even allow twin deliveries.
I mean, come on; if they were going to MAKE UP a cover story, wouldn't they come up with something that doesn't make her look so phenomenally irresponsible?
Perhaps Sarah could further her polictical career if she would remember the old saying, "Silence is Golden". Ever time she opens her mouth she proves that the media and the majority of the nation were correct, she is unfit to move on to any higher office in our country. She should just stay home and make certain she can still see Russia from her front door.
Why won't this horrible woman go away? She has no values, no ethics and no character – yet she insists on staying in the media spotlight. The media she hates, I might add.
Sarah, your 15 minutes are way over. Git.
Sarah Palin's "performance" was lacking during the campaign and the American voters deemed her not vice presidential material. I dont' think Caroline Kennedy would make a good president either, but she's not up for vice president, is she?
The vitriol that came out of Sarah Palin's mouth in her speeches was salacious; she has no room to talk. In fact, the more she puts herself out there, the more it reinforces her unsuitability as a national figure. Personally, I don't think she would have been elected governor in any other state than Alaska; forgive my cynicism, but there are many more men voters than women voters in Alaska, and I think her being a female made her an attractive candidate for Alaska men. Our governor of Washington, Christine Gregoire, is a much better example of a strong woman governor who doesn't rely on winks and smiles or an up-do hairstyle to get votes.
Now maybe she knows how Obama felt during the campaign when she spent every single day trying to spread lies and innuendos about his personal life. What goes around comes around. Frankly, if I never hear about this woman again it would be too soon.
When thousands of innocent civilians are dying in Gaza, the media keeps eluding the issue by concentrating on that pathetic, grotesque Palin. Shame !
Its not personal, your just not an intelligent person.
So, we would rather you not run the country.
Why is this dingbat getting media attention? Beyond proving yet again that she has nothing to offer the world aside from tangle-brained egotism, Sarah Palin is right up there with Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith in the category of Talentless Celebrities Who Shouold Just Go Away But Probably Never Will.
Is there some reason this woman doesn't simply get on with her life in Alaska and leave the rest of us alone? Man, she wears on me....what's her approval rating in her home state now? I have to agree also that this statement is waaaaay above her head.....just like her opening speech at the convention that everyone bowed to....she is good at reading written word but not good at expressing her own....that's her problem not everyone else's
Wow it seems most of the bloggers here are dems, you can tell by the hate they have.
Please...stop interviewing this idiot!!!!
Is this the same woman who continued to insist that Obama was a terrorist and a socialist? What is she whining about? It mattered to me that she was the type of person to shove aside her Down's syndrome baby. I would have liked her better if Trig had not been hers.
Palin, what about your vile, alaciuos lies about the democrats during the campaign? If you can't take the heat, stick to Alaska. Please, just stay there with your moose.
Sarah Sarah Sarah please do Us who do not live in Alaska and Just GO AWAY..... Everytime you speak you make confuse yourself... Do us a favor and worry about Alaska and nothing else....
Ha! How ironic of her to make that comment, being a conservative Republican in all. The media is just following suite with the Bush policy of misrepresenting the facts to manipulate people to think or act in a certain way. Why would she be so upset, haven't we all come to the understanding that this is how it works? Guess she didn't get the memo! Its not so fun when you're on the receiving end of it, huh Palin?
It's not often that I hear the media stating that Sarah Palin is a woman who stands behind her principles. She bore her Down Syndrome son instead of having a an abortion. This speaks well of her character which I think many Americans are looking for in this day and age. Is this standing up to principles a reason for the fierce criticism she received from liberals?
Poor Sarah (Mamma Grizzly). Some of the blame is to select media outlets for continually publishing this kind on TMZ news. But Sarah, pleeeeease move on. The best thing for you to do is to focus on being the Governor of Alaska, showing that you can actually make a difference as a public servant with solid results and performance that will silence your critics. Also become truly politically and intellectually saavy if you're going to play with the big boys and girls. You've also learned that it isn't pretty to look like a deer in the headlights on interviews with the likes of Couric and Gibson. There's so much to do....get busy!
Well, I may not be a member of the media but two and two make four to me. When Trig was born, Bristol hade been 5 months out of school, allegedly with mono. Nobody knew that Palin was pregnant. According to her, her water broke while in Texas, and she didn't check into a local hospital but flew 6 hours home without telling anybody that she was in labor. What woman would do that? When she arrived at the hospital in Alaska, the baby had already been born. Do I have a suspicious nature? Probably. But I am entitled to my own opinion and, in my opinion, that baby is not Palin's.
I think it is discusting how the medea just can't get enough. you people make me sick. As for the women in our society you are just as bad. Is everyone so jelous of her that they must pick pick on her.
thanks
This BIMBO needs to shut up and go away, she will loose her next election if this keeps up!
Perhaps that would be a good thing
Sorry Sarah, the media did not distort but only reported on your absolutely nonsensical statements and mangling of the English language. You lost the election; you are starting to sound like a sore loser.
Compared to Spitzer and Blago she's been a much better govenor. Maybe Spitzer and Blago can start their own escort service.
Ugh, Sarah,,, you have said some mistruths about Obama..what is the difference? The election is over, okay..sorry, you can't be in the limelight any longer! We have serious problems in this country and in this very planet,, yet, you want to complain? Spend your energy on trying to solve problems ..like the increased teen pregnancy in your state and balancing the budget, ok?
Dear GOD, spare us from this drama. Though I hope that the Republicans will have Palin as their 2012 candidate! The election will be a .... hoot! Yeah... ya betcha!
have we become so plastic to keep her in the news?! what a waste of ticker space
I think a lot of you that write negative about her are afraid of her. She is to good for the way politics is played today.
Am I wrong, or didn't she agree to go on SNL? As for Couric, Palin should have known it would be a extensive interview. Why couldn't Palin name one newspaper or magazine that she read? And she seemed to have one heck of a good time on SNL didn't she? Even during the rapping segment where the cast shot the fake moose, Sarah looked delighted. The famous line comes to mind "Thou protests too much."
You are all losers!!!
The majority of major media companies are in serious financial trouble. And while SOME of that could be related to the current economic downturn and increased competition from the web, the majority of the media's woes are completely of their own doing. Americans have simply tuned out the media due to the insane level of bias.
It used to be, at least reporters and the media PRETENDED to be unbiased. Now, they don't even bother to pretend.
Case in point: the fawning coverage and near idolization of Barack Obama. What's the difference between the media and the Barack Obama fan club? There is none.
to Marc,
If you are so offended by the comments of 'All you stupid liberals", then why not take your own advice? DON'T READ IT, DON'T CLICK ON IT, SCROLL PAST IT YOU NIMROD!!!
Since you don't follow your own advice, I can only conclude that you just like to bash liberals, whereas those of us bashing Caribou Barbie do so because she is utterly unqualified, yet tried to reach a position of power over us.
I'm STILL waiting for the clothing auction for charity.....
Step away from the microphone Sarah ...
Also She is right, time and time again the media has told outright lies and when they get caught they say 'Oops' and move on, but they never recant nor do they admit they screwed up. I know the job of the media is to make money (One would think it was to report the news but it's not); but how about you try being honest. I'd guess 90% of american people take what the media says with a gain of salt (Expect the dems, if the media is telling lies about repubs) but I'm guessing it's that other 10% they really care about.
All you libs need to get over the fact that Sarah Palin is a self accomplished American. The media has been unusually aggressive with her when all she is trying to do is do what she believes is right. How would you losers react if a reporter stated that Barack was not Michele's babies daddy. I think the words "unfair", "racist" , and "offensive" come to mind. But thats right, she is a Republican so she must be wrong about everything. Keep claiming to be the open-minded ones you hard core looney libs. The great American divide continues to deepen because of the constant accepted humiliation of prominent figures in today's society. Agree with her or not she is considered to be an inspiration to many Americans.
I think it is discusting how the medea just can't get enough of Sarah. you people make me sick. As for the women in our society you are just as bad. Is everyone so jelous of her that they must pick pick on her.
thanks
my advice to sarah is to first call joe the plumber and then chill out. if this doesn't sound like whining i do not know what does. roger
Uhh, maybe she should weigh her complaints before she makes them. I hadn't heard anything about Trig not being hers. Like so many other issues, she opened the can of worms–not journalists.
As for responsible journalism:
Every American recognizes that there are good apples and bad apples in the media. The best way to get a real picture of what's out there is to get a variety of sources and verify as much as possible.
No matter what, politicians's families should be off-limits, especially their children. If they do something illegal (such as when the Bush daughters got caught drinking while underage), then they are fair game. But kids under the age of 18 should be left alone, no matter who their parents are.
Sarah who?
"The media" only reports things that people will read and discuss. They are a business people! They don't exist to serve a bigger purpose! They report it because you will read it; if you don't, they wouldn't care to write it. Please save us all the media conspiracy talk. If people stop bashing Palin, AND stop complaining about all the Palin bashing (both sides), we all could go on our merry way. Therefore, I'm suggesting this be the VERY last post on this thread! GAME OVER!LOL!
Well she is pretty much destoying her credibility and any chance that she may hold public office other than that of Governer of Alaska (Siberia)
The secondary reason for this latest outburst by Sarah Palin, message that she is trying to send about the media, is mostly accurate. Having said that, however, how is she able to justify the reasoning behind her declaration that Barack Obama was a terrorist, that he wasn't an American, that he wanted to murder babies, etc. Sensationalism perhaps? – or a more despicable reason, like winning no matter the cost? She should probably shut up.
As far as Sarah Palin being 'news' at least two days in a row this week? There are no words.
Go away, woman!
Hang it up already, Sara. Your 15 min is over.
So...Sarah Palin (Republican Pitbull) is accusing people of doing to her what Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and all of the other right-wing "media" do every day of the year to anyone they disagree with. Hmmm...kind of a double standard, don't you think?
The bottom line is that Sarah Palin is eager to blame anyone but herself for her failures. Take responsibility and I might actually find some respect for you.
It's called "politics". Get used to it. It sucks, but that is the way it is.
This has been humorous reading the hate filled venomous rants from the looney liberals. I totally expected this response. There is a reason they hate Sarah Palin so viciously: Fear and jealousy. There is nothing else that makes someone turn so hateful. Sarah is 100% correct in her statements. She has done nothing wrong. The anointed one has a frightening background and I am afraid for our country. He will be the true "teflon" president because Hollywood made it "fashionable" to vote for him.
"All that was on the Morning Joe show this morning advised her to move on and lighten up. "
The same should be said to all the Palin bashers who keep posting here.
Despite being her own worst enemy, Palin continues to cry victim. "Nobody understands me. Boo hoo." Between her whining, pandering to the far right and demands for public attention, I can't imagine when this new mom/grandma has time to serve the people of Alaska.
Sarah, I think I speak for the majority of Americans when I say "Shut up".
@ marc,
Actually Caroline Kennedy is qualified to be Senator because she is 30 years or older, has been living in the US at least 9 years and would be a New York resident at the time of the appointment. Those are the only qualifications for Senator according to the US Constitution.
After reading these posts it has become so painfully obvious that the dimocrats are stupid and gives me great cause for concern about the people they voted into office. After watching the congress for the last 2 years, Pelosi, Reid, etc. I find the concern is justified.
As out to lunch as ever. She acts like some kind of conspiracy or undue scrutiny lead to people's perception of her as a moron. Wake up governor, it was YOUR WORDS, your lack of knowledge, your negative campaigning and your obvious inability to make coherent sentences time after time after time that lead the majority of the public to have a bad opinion of you. Sheesh.
CNN – stop reporting on this lunatic woman and her drivel.
Palin defenders:
You're not by chance trying to get those of us with unflattering comments about Palin to feel bad and to shut up while you freely say similarly unflattering things about Obama and democrats are you?
Would that not constitute "hypocrisy?"
You betcha!
When is her 15 minutes up?
Governor, please concentrate on running Alaska and do us all a favor,
STAY OUT OF THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT
who needs porn, we have Sarah and Joe the plummer.Now if we could just get them to make a movie.
I am reading the ongoing mean, very mean comments posted here regarding Gov. Palin. Are you all so perfect that you feel justified in making these horrid comments? The media was bias, mean, arrogant and horrible to Gov. Palin and her family and you people are just repeating what you heard from the liberal media. Obama did pal around with terrorists, hello Bill Ayers and the rest of the gang.
Doesn't she have a state to run?!?! Please Sarah, go away!
why do you soulless liberal douches keep picking on her?your smear lie distort campaign worked flawlessly too bad you did not turn your 1 sided smear machine at Hussein cause then we would know that w/out the teleprompter hes just another idiot
Don't slander her, but she could slander Obama? Get real lady, and get lost.
Marc.....tsk, tsk, tsk. That is what's wrong with you Conservatives, always calling Liberals or Democrats stupid beause our ideas and opinions differ from yours.
As for Palin, wether or not you agree or not, she was the final nail in McCain's coffin.
To you conservatives, the ONLY reason she was qualified to be VP, was that she is a card carrying member of the right wing of the GOP...it didn't matter that she wasn't qualified or ready for the job.
Isn't she the one who "didn't hesistate" when asked to join the ticket when she was completely unqualified to do so? Wasn't she the one that pulled her kids out of school to take them on the campaign trail with her? Wasn't it her decision to use them as props every chance she got? While families, for the most part, should be off limits when you thrust them into the public eye you have to expect them to garner attention. Stop blamming everyone else and take some responsbility. You lost, now go away.
Is she kidding...? Who can honestly take this woman seriously..?! She went from playing along with the media (SNL, News etc.) like she could take a joke or admit a mistake to playing the victim... She makes women in her position of power (which I still have yet to figure out how she got this far) look so naïve…
I don’t think another woman will ever put herself up for a presidential (or VP) run ever again after this…
Is it the media's fault that Sarah Palin isn't very bright (Africa is a country)? Is it the media's fault that she is a bufoon ("I am going to go to the places where the real Americans are")? Is it the media's fault that this ultra-conservative's family show un-conservative behavior (daughter is an un-wed mother, future mother-in-law is a drug dealer)? Is she so dumb that she doesn't think the media will notice?
I think Sarah is telling it like it really is. Who believes the newspapers anymore?
She has every right to criticize the media. They have been unfairly biased, and should find better things to write about. I don't believe anyone criticized the soon to be President about his kids, in fact I believe they are "off limits". Her allegations regarding the soon to be President are spot on. Many of you are just too young or too irresponsible to investigate who Pres. elect Obama has surrounded himself with over the years. May we pray that Sarah Palin continues to be the wonderful Governor. she is and that the media will stop hounding her family, and that the Pres. elect will run the country with all people in mind.
Thanks media. Sarah is great intertainment. There should be a movie about her. She is funny to watch. Gov. of Alaska sitting on porch, with six pack in hand, watching Russia for us. She never fails to intertain with her goofy and uneducated answers or remarks. Six years and five colleges to get a degree in journalism and can't handle the media. Jethro Bodine did better with a six grade education. She is certainly intertaining but maybe not the best person for a serious job to represent the people of this country. I would want someone better qualified than me or the joe six pack.
Why can't those silly conservatives admit this election was a rejection of their policies and not the media. If they're going to preach personal responsibility maybe it's time they showed some. If Palin had been the Democratic nominee for VP the Limbaughs, Hannitys, Becks, Coulters, etc. would have been far more vicious than some blogger.
wow.... she just is so.... ridiculous.... I wonder where she read the story in the media... was it in all the magazines? sheesh woman, go away
Shaggy-
That was about the most idiotic piece of reasoning I've ever seen. Get back to your dead end job and let the grownups handle this one.
Shut up already.......will ya? Do what you're getting paid to do...govern Alaska!
Sarah,
Why not just go back to the turkey farm......
She has a point here...interesting that a disproportional amount of voters had more knowledge of the so called "trooper gate" issues and details about Palin’s daughter, church and family then had knowledge of the issues about Ayers, Wright and mostly Rezco.
Kennedy is not getting 1/10 the scrutiny you know, for her you know, issues with communicating with the um… media you know, I think it is because you know, that she um….you know, is for you know is for gay rights and um…you know other stuff, um… um you know liberals like to hear? If you don’t get this it makes my point!
When a smart person finds themselves in a hole, they stop digging. Sarah, you ain't very smart. Neither are you Caroline Kennedy.
Actually, I am coming to welcome these little Sarah blurbs – given all the depressing news these days, a little comic relief comes in handy. But like all sitcoms, this one will also run it's course...
You people are the reason this country is going downhill. Leave the woman alone. She is not stupid. She got elected to be governor- have you? Then I guess you're not as good as Sarah at somethng.
I hope all you hate mongering men who are sexist and think women are stupid get dumped and beaten by the women in your life. You deserve no respect as you show no respect for people in authority.
The woman is a governor. Show some respect. Or does anonymous posting about a "stupid" woman make you feel like a bigger man?
Please go and hibernate. Do not speak anymore, we don't care what you think or say. Oh, while you are praciticing what you call good Government in Alaska, how about returning the MONEY you got for the Bridge to Nowhere. We might listen to you then.
You liberals on this board crack me up with your moronic opinions. The woman is in charge of a 12 billion dollar budget, and runs a state, and you're trying to say she's stupid? Obama hasn't run a lemonade stand and isn't qualified to do even that. He's already making mistakes. Open your eyes and look at facts silly fools.
Amazing.
This woman can't leave the spotlight!!!
Hey, Sarah!!! Wake up. You're a nobody again.
Would she like some cheese with that whine? Or a six-pack of mice with that saucer of milk?
Sarah Palin is not whining. She has a point which happens to be true.
I can imagine the outrage if Michelle Obama, who by far made more idiotic statements, had been treated the way that Sarah Palin was.
Why don't you like her..is is because she is pro life..is is because her daughter kept her baby...is it because she and her husband have never had affairs...
Tina Fey is a low-life scumbag who sold herself out to the highest bidder–her only claim to fame is her slight and homlier resemblance to the Alaska Gov. I hope she sleeps well at night.with her SNL cohorts. She is not qualified to tie Palin's shoelaces.
America is imploding. Gossip feeds small minds and the media makes tons of money from this fact. Until individuals chose to ignore irrelevent nonsense and insist on simple truths, Americans will continue to bicker with themselves rather than find solutions to its problems. Blaming others has replaced personal responsibility. Sarah Palin? Who Cares? She gossiped all campaign but feels hurt when she feels she's the victim. You reap what you sow Governor.
Go Away!!!! You are not important!
Bristol should have named the baby "Maverick," or Joe the Plumber.
Palin is right. You would have thought with all the flack Couric had, she would have been more supportive of a woman in this position.
Couric is usless. I'm sure it will come back to Couric. Time will tell.
Amazing how many of you can have nothing but negative things to say. Most of you don't live in Alaska, most of you are clueless about Sarah Palin's life, yet you are quick to state your "opinion" as if it is fact. Leave the woman alone...
She made mistakes, but the press did hammer her while insulating President Elect Obama. I feel this way since neither Joe Biden or John McCain got much press. It became an Obama vs. Palin ticket. No matter what people say about her, the path she took with the life she was given is nothing short of amazing.
The media has not discredited Sarah Palin. She has done that herself. She knew exactly what she was getting into, without regard for the effect it could have on her family or the Johnston family. For her to even "wonder" about the scrutiny that Caroline Kennedy would receive is absolutely and utterly stupid. Clearly Sarah has not read newspapers or she would realize just how much mud and mire the Kennedy family has been pulled through by the media over the years. Granted, the actions of members of the Kennedy family (just like the actions of members of the Palin and Johnston families) focused the attention on themselves. All of this is just another example of how out of touch and completely unqualified Sarah Palin is. And to think...she was a journalism major???? Scary!!
Beyond belief. The woman who went around talking about how Obama "pals around with terrorists" thinks she was taken out of context. Katie Couric was mean for asking her about the bailout, the number one story of the week. The mind reels.
palin is an idiot.
YES- YES- YES- YES!!! This is the Sarah we LOVE – stand up and take the media on – the media is all Democratic and does not care at all for Republicans.
And most of the people on this blog are also dems are they hate you because they are JEALOUS & AFRAID of you!!!! YES JEALOUS & AFRAID SUMS IT UP!!! LOL – LOL -LOL
Look out Barry in 2012!!!!
The more Sarah goes into blame game, the worse it gets. Forget it, move on, you lost. Quit blaming others, just do your job, and let the rest take care of itself. If you need to make a denial, just make the denail in a dignified and intelligent fashion with humility and dignity, if that is possible.
Really???? Is she actually whining because the press isn't playing nice with her? She sounds like a beauty queen contestant who lost a pageant. Not only is she not smart enough for the job, she's not strong enough. Yes, the press can be brutal. First test: Can you handle it? Sorry, Sarah, you don't go on to test #2.
I'm soooo glad this lady did NOT get the opportunity to be a "heart beat" away from the Presidency! Get over it Sarah....it's over!
Oh come on!!! She's placing the blame on other people for her own actions and behaviors and words! She said what she said from straightfoward, valid questions from Couric and Gibson. Every interview is edited to fit the time-slot, but to continue to paint the media as being out to get her, when Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are filled with glee when lambasting the Democrats is hypocritical at best. She's proven once more what a moron she is.
Palin was treated much differently by the media then she would have had if there was a (D) behind her name. Every little gaffe or mistake was endlessly played over and over. On the other hand Biden's neverending stream of gaffes was largely ignored and Obama's were entirely ignored.
Such is life for Republicans. The MSM still talks about Dan Quayle and his potato spelling yet never mentioned Obama's plan to take Russia's invasion of Georgia to the UN Security Council. Obama's "57 States" comment is also only found on YouTube. Then there was his 1000% overstatement of the tornado deaths during the election and how it is all caused by Global Warming.
Palin blew 2 or 3 questions out of hours of inteviews with Gibson and Couric yet this is what was played over and over.
Palin is correct. There is a media bias but if she's going to play the game she will have to be like the rest of the Republicans and get used to it.
The Real Issue is Governor Palin doesn't get it. She and Senator McCain lost. Sure there were aspects of the media scrutinizing her every move. President-elect Obama had the same problem.
Palin needs to govern her state because if she does not do the job, she will not be governing. The election is over and that's the Real Issue!!!
After Sarah " tells it like it really is",the media and Democrats,at least the ones here,GO INTO YOUR TYPICAL TOTAL DENIAL-don't you have any ability of understanding how reality works??Are you only capable of repeating what you've been TOLD to believe and say???
Somebody here TRY and do an intelligent post,and explain why it's OK for the media to lie and when they called on there lie,and proven wrong,not retract it.This should be interesting.Thanks in advance.
I don't know if this would be considered bribing a public official, but I will personally give this woman $20 if she will just shut up and go away.
Earth to Sarah: You lost! No one cares about you anymore!
stop reporting her. can she just go away please
Wah wah I'm Sarah Palin, I can say many untruths and half truths but don't attack me..leave me alone, I am the future of the complete destruction of the Republican Party. The more I see the more I realize her moment in the sun really showed the world that this woman should not even be allowed to run the government in Alaska. Yikes!!!
You mean they said stuff like "palling around with terrorists" and such? Awful, just awful.
Let the anger go, Sarah. Time to move on. Don't sweat the small stuff ....or the thoughtless comments.
Poor poor Sarah so confused and so misunderstood. Don’cha know there are wars going on? Don’cha know about the recession? Don’cha know that while you are shilling for the aristocracy the court jesters are supposed to keep us occupied? Do you really think anyone cares about your daughter, your bra size, whether you breast feed or not? Do you really think folks care about your meth crazed town? Did you really sell baby pics to a corporate media giant? Why didn’t you set up a foundation to help educate unwed mothers? Why aren’t you helping out the dropouts in your state? Instead you are out talking about Tina Fey and Katie Curic?!?!? You came out of nowhere, put on your fancy clothes and gave us that parade wave and cover girl smile and thought this was all going to be pretty easy. Why don’cha jus roll up dem der sleeves you got and really start doing something Grizzly Momma.
Isn't her 15 minutes of fame overwith yet??????
And for the women... what is wrong with you? This is a woman who is governor. She is college educated. Are you jealous because you are sitting at home looking at you life thinking what have I done with it. Support women – don't knock them down.
Can you truly picture Sarah Palin as President of the United States?
I can't. No matter how hard I try, I really can't. She just doesn't have that quality. Too whiny and uninformed. In politics, first impressions are everything. Her persona is set in stone now. She will never be able to shake it.
There will still be those that will vote for her, but my instinct is that Sarah will not get the Republican nod in 2012, but if she somehow did, Obama would win in a walk.
Palin must have figured out how to use the thesuarus. "Lets see here... Synonyms for icky and mean.... OOOOOHHH..... SALACIOUS!!!"
I don't know if this would be considered bribing a public official, but I will personally give this woman $20 if she will shut up and go away.
Earth to Sarah: You lost! No one cares about you anymore!
You know, I certainly woudn't vote for this woman but I agree with what she is saying. It is all very much valid. Mainstream journalism has become more and more tabloid-like with time. It seems it started with the salicious reporting on the Clintons and has now become standard in the media.
I do think she owes Hillary Clinton an apology, however, for criticizing her last year now that she knows from her own ex[erience what this is like.
My goodness this woman is not only lacking intelligence..she is without a doubt the most self serving individual out there! Thank the good Lord she isn't going to the White House.. her big complaint during the campaign was "Obama is pointing fingers at us and there are three fingers pointing back at him" Well she is pointing and whining and trying to save face and guess what Sarah.. you are an idiot, a liar and useless at the political game.. Good night and good bye! Please GOD!!!
Does she even know the definition of "salacious"?? I admit I didn't know it, so I looked it up and the definition is "characterized by lust" or "Promoting sexual desire or lust; Lascivious or bawdy; Obscene or lewd".. So exactly what "salacious" reporting about Palin have I been missing??? I wish that just once someone would ask her the definition of some of the words she uses....
Regarding a comment made by "Shaggy"..it is good to see someone represents the Idiots of America. Clearly, this type of stupidity goes beyond reason and this person belongs with Palin, in the Idiot Hall of Shame.
This is to Disappointed that statement you made does not make any sense care to clarify................................. "You people are pathetic, you all complain about how you don't want to see anymore about her but here you are complaining on the wall that your tired of it. YOU ARE ALL STUPID." How can someone be stupid for complaining about something they don't want to see HMMMMMMMM? Who is the stupid one
This trailer park trash woman just can't stand not to be in the spotlight. Consequently, she keeps dragging up the past.
I'm so relieved she didn't win the Vice Presidency, I truly believe she
is unbalanced. John McCain made the biggest mistake of his career picking her as his r unning mate.
I can't for the life of me understand why Sarah Palin is still in the media's limelight. She ran for Vice President, lost, and now should go on and do whatever it is she is doing. I could care less if the baby is hers, how she feels about Katie Couric (or anyone else for that matter). My wish for the new year is that Sarah gets out of the media; I could care less about her and think many others feel the same way.
Sarah need not even comment on the media. They are having a hard enough time covering the Democrats with a straight face even before Obama takes office – as the Donkey party has become quite an amusing circus of corruption and stupidity.
I feel that rational Republican need only be alive to get elected in 2012.
I did not think McCain/Palin were qualified to lead this nation, but I would never resort to tearing down a person the way the media has and continues to do. You people just find anything and everything you can to rip someone to shreds.
Do you think her medical records, which she never turned over, would have shown that Trig was a biological impossibility because she had her tubes tied?
All of you Palin-haters are just jealous of her. Palin has more balls than your wimpy little Obama who is just a pretender in a fancy suit. Just because he talks smooth and graduated from Harvard does not mean he should be POTUS. Sarah Palin is REAL with REAL values and principles whereas Obama is a FAKE. You all thought Bush was bad. Wait and see what this inexperienced and pretencious moron will take us. PALIN 2012
I dislike Ms. Palin very much, in fact I detest her, but I love reading stories about her because time and time again she reveals just how clueless she really is. She is the gift that keeps on giving! If she were smart she'd just shut up, but she isn't/doesn't so....... keep 'em coming and thanks again!
Well, of course she would. She is totally clueless. When "stupidity" suffices, why search for any other reason?
Unfortunately reporters ask tough questions. It's not sexism, or a blatant attack on Palin.... it's a bad candidate folding under tough circumstances. If McCain had picked Romney they would have probably won. If Republicans picked Romney from the start they would have won. You can't continue to do stupid things and expect great results.
OBAMA 08
shouldnt have lied on OBAMA during the campaign ... what goes around comes around and I guess its your turn Pali Pal
Bloggers are not journalists so what ever they say are just their opinions on a computer or website. What I want to know is why the real media still reports this crap
Let her keep in the news, it gives me something to laugh at when there is nothing on tv......like this is the funniest thing i've heard in the last hour....can't she just play with her grandkid and teach abstinance to the rest of her kids before its too late? that should keep her busy for a while and since she already knows how all of that works, she won't even have to be prepped to teach it!
If the media is out to get her, why have they not reported on her poor judgement on the day Trigg was born. When her water broke she was in Dallas, Texas – did she see a doctor or go to a hospital, no she gave a speech. After the speech did she go to the hospital, no, she got on a commercial airliner to Seattle. Did she go to the hospital in Washington, no she waited for a flight to Alaska, Did she go to a hospital in Anchorage, no she drove for 40 minutes to a small medical center in Wasilla. All this even though she was delivering a premature baby, who had been diagnosed with developmental disabilities. All of this was reported by Alaskian newspapers at the time of the birth in April 2008.
It almost seems as if she was trying to have a miscarrage, since she could have an abortion. After all a miscarrage would be God's will.
Maggie from Virginia "I was trying to figure out what took them so long to make an arrest, since they reported that the investigation had been going on for some time."
You clearly know nothing about such investigations. They are long and drawn out because they aren't after pawns like Johnston, they follow her to find out who is above her, above the person above her, where they are shipping from, etc. They wait till they have all their ducks in a row and then they start getting people like her so they can make her roll on the people above her. Either way that story was proven to be garbage and you're buying it.
Sarah has brought this on her self. If she would stop making comments and complaing how she was treated. Then the people would not comment on her. She has got to realize that a lot of people dont like her, for the way she carried her self in the election all the hateful things she said about Obama and now she cant take the medicne she dished out. All her interviews she gave just proved that she isnt very smart and she has to realize this. She has a handful of republicans who think she is a queen. Mccain also was going by her looks when he picked her. It was a scary thought that she could of made it into the white house. But as Sarah would say it was a task of God that they didnt make it to the white house. The dumbest thing she done was when she thought the vp canidate was supposed to give a concession speach. Glad the Mccain put a stop to that. It would of been a hate speech against obama. Just like all the other ones she gave at her ralleys and got the crowd worked up and she did nothing to stop it.
FARGO,ND NEEDS THEIR POLICE CHIEF BACK!!
Why is she still in the news? Don't you guys have something better to do than exploit the family of a has-been politician? Do the Palins and us a favor and send her back to the obscurity she had before she met John McCain.
Please, couldn't she spare us?
Ironic. Gov. Palin complains about the press but keeps asking for interviews. Maybe her press coverage would be better if she was a better person–the truth hurts!
You liberals don't know what you're talking about. Sarah Palin should be Commander-in-chief of the United States military. Alaska is next door neighbors with Russia, for Pete's sake.
sad to say but Palin had her own intentions for parading her kids/family thru the campaign trail. Others showcased their families at the conventions and left it at that with an occasional appearance. Yeah Sarah it says a lot about our society, you have a degree in journalism albeit in sports where ever so often the sportscasters become Monday Quarterbacks instead of just calling the game don't ya?
well it looks like if u disagree w/ the idiots on this sound off you dont get posted so... yeah your right palin is this and that no need to examine the 1 sided media .go frankin the distinguished election stealing comedian from Minnesota.yeah yeah i know bush stole florida so its ok that our election process now means squat
"making it difficult for many Americans to believe what they see in the media"....
People should not believe everything they see/hear in the media anyway. Flip around the channels, and if possible, flip around the globe. There are many levels to a story depending on where it is broadcast from.
Sorry Sarah, people aren't that stupid. It's not the media causing your reputation to slide, it's your inability to think on your feet when challenged. You are obviously not qualified to lead the country and that is painfully evident when your intellect is challenged.
It's ok though, Joe Six-pack says he wants to go for a beer with you.
Does ANYONE still care about what Palin thinks or says anymore. Please stop reporting about this useless dribble....
You Democrats and CNN just hate this women don't you?
If she, for once, had something positive to say in interviews, instead of the whiny, poor mistreated me clap trap, she might get more positive coverage. Also, she has put her family out there with her own explanations of who they are, hoping it will get some press coverage. The press did not bring up Levi's dropping out of school to take a job – she did. She does not even understand that people would not look upon her favorably for encouraging a young person to drop out of school for any reason. I wish she would just shut up and stay out of the news. Yuck!
I have to agree with Sarah (oh my gosh...) leave her kids out of it. Tear her apart if you want but the kids are off limits. Other than that I do not like Sarah and SHE is fair game for the media.
Sue baby, sue!
This whole thing continues to play out like a redneck version of "Northern Exposure" -- but the characters are not nearly as likeable as those in the TV show.
Maybe the media will stop bothering her after she stops her campaign for president in 2012. So favorable media reports are perfectly fine, but when they get unfavourable, it's "personal, salacious reporting"?
All your kids were paraded around in front of this country. They are "fair game". Keep them at home where they should be. These Palins are trash and have not the slightest idea how to behave in private or in the public eye!
NEXT!
With Sarah the Dumbo paling around with the Dumb Media, America is doomed.
I aggree with Palin. The media is out of control and irresponsible. This articl is a perfect example. Why is this news?
someone once said...bad press is better than no press and boy is she working it...if we keep reading about ma grizzly from alaska we wont forget her by 2012...beware...ignorance is dangerous!
I wonder why liberals always get so worked up over conservatives such as Palin? Could it be that conservatives maintain moral convictions and actually stand for something? I think it makes whishy-whashy liberals very uncomfortable with themselves because it makes them not want to look at their lack of values and face the they reality that they have no moral convictions. Go ahead liberals – cuss, swear, call people names but afterwards take a good look at yourself.
Sarah is a sore loser. She is the one who keeps bringing her children into the spotlight by doing interviews and posting news releases on her website.
Levi Johnston was not qualified for the job because he doesn't have a high school diploma which is a requirement. Plain and simple!
As far as Trig is concerned, produce a birth certificate, release your medical records. You sure didn't look pregnant and why on earth would you put his life in jeopardy by taking that long flight to Alaska after your labor already started?
Either answer the questions to prove everyone wrong (if that is possible) or GO AWAY!!!!!
“But the personal, salacious nature of recent reporting, and often the refusal of the media to correct obvious mistakes, unfortunately discredits too many in journalism today, making it difficult for many Americans to believe what they see in the media.”
No, I think Fox news took care of this years ago.
Oh...waaahhhh!!!!
Even though I believe there is some merit to this.......and I have been rooting for her...........I think it has done nothing but prove some earlier media reports that maybe she isn't a rocket scientist after all!!
This woman is convinced that Americans are a bunch of diluted idiots who float in whatever direction the great lunar media machine pulls them. I did not despise you, Palin, becuase of Katie Couric's 100% legitimate questions...I despise you because of your 100% idiotic responses, your annoying personality, your negative, confined vision of the world, and your evident blindness to the character of Americans who liife outside of your small Alaskan box.
How dare the media ask pertinent questions of a person running for the 2nd highest office in the U.S.!!!!
It is unfathomable that she actually believes the nonsense she has been spouting since the summer.
To paraphrase the old saying, "If the shoes fit...(along with all the rest of the several hundred thousand dollars of clothes)..."
Why can't she just fade back into the woodwork. Stop crying and be an adult. I am so tired of everything about her. Go away Palin!!!!!!
Who cares about her? and who ever did?
I agree that CNN and MSNBC has attacked Palin maliciously. I never heard them attacking Hillary for what she wears and how much it costs. I hope Obama works out, but i am sure the media is ready for the propoganda machine to run again.
Last I heard, TV news is considered entertainment and not journalism.
She just does not understand how petty that she is becoming. The public does not hear her anymore than they do Bush. They are both history.
Say what you will but she is more successful than every poster on this thread.
Wasn't it Palin who started off jumping on the rumor mill once she became McCains running mate??? They figured no one would touch her because she could pull the Sexism Card despite their sexist displays at their convention? She is lucky I wasn't with SNL. I would have done a skit on how long I'm sure it takes to pile on that make up. lol
She is obviously looking for a diversion from her daughter giving birth. What she really needs to ask herself is why wasn't she smart enough to realize she was in way over her head. I suggest she take a back seat otherwise 2008 memories will stick with us until her next stunt. lol
That's right you evil journalists you should learn to follow the example of good people like Bill O'Reilly and the folks over at fox news...
LOL
Why does Gov. Palin keep talking about, bringing up, commenting on topics that most people have either forgotten about, didn't know about in the first place, or could care less about? If you want something to stop, you don't keep bringing it up, do you? She's the one who keeps her children in the news. She's the one who keeps advertising how little she knows about the world. She's the one who draws such negative attention to herself. She's the one who's whining.
Maybe she could take a sabbatical, go away, keep quiet - and LEARN something. Then she could discuss actual issues that people care about, instead of recycling her own tired issues!
What little airtime I've seen of Kennedy on national news wasn't terribly impressive, but New York can choose whomever they want to be the Senator from New York. The local news media of NY should be asking the pertinent questions, and National news would do good to let us know the progress and outcomes, but ultimately it is nobody's business but the citizens of New York. Vice President however, is all of our business. I expect national news journalists to be much more visible, and also a national election should receive a proportionate amount more scrutiny. Keep in mind also, this is not an election, it's an appointment. I'm not sure Ms. Palin can keep two things in mind at once.
On the one hand, methinks the lady doth protest too much. On the other hand, why is anybody paying attention to this nobody failed governor of a small state?
Hey Shaggy, I don't think it was affirmative action that got Obama elected. It was a well run and funded campagin. Something I guess you are upset that you CANNOT do. LOOSER
Who cares? Go away....................please.
The only reason there is another Palin story published is because the media knows the same idiots who are complaining about it will read it.
Blaming the press is a standard GOP tactic. It removes a candidate from having to take any responsibility for anything they did. Kind of like when your kid always has a lame excuse for something he or she did wrong.
Those poor republicans. I feel so sorry for them. They are eternal victims. NOT. In reality, they have ideas that don't resonate with a majority of Americans and some of them look and sound really dumb (present subject) when expressing them. The American people wisely put the adults back in charge.

I went to 1 college to get my Bachelors, going to 1 college now to get my Masters, been around the world twice in the Navy so I have actually been to these countries, had my first kid when I was 28, and had to go through a govt. background check to get my current job….Dang, I guess i am qualified to be the ruler of the world by her standards.

hey Mikey, if you think you are smart enough to run for public office – DO IT – and see how many people you get behind you and support you!!! LOL- LOL
GET OVER IT – Gov. Palin has MILLIONS of supporters and she will be back – GET USED TO IT!!!!
THE MEDIA HATES SARAH AND LOVES OBAMA!!!!!!!
WHO KNOWS WHY!!!!!
DO YOU REALIZE THE MEDIA COULD HAVE PROMOTED SARAH AND HATED OBAMA AND JOHN MC CAIN AND SARAH PALIN COULD HAVE WON THE ELECTION!!!!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!
palin should have been impeached a long time ago. alaska deserves better............ it is long overdue for her to be ignored by all. she is too self serving to be a public servant. does she really think that we cannot see thru her attempts at being the poor victim. she needs professional help.
Sarah Palin's comments mixes apples and oranges! Caroline Kennedy isn't running for Vice President, who would be just a heart beat away from being President of the United States. Sarah Palin is just trying to get people to feal sorry for her and to keep her name in the news for the next 3-4 years.
I get so tired of the right wingers ALWAYS complaining about 'the media".. When will they ever realize that if it wasn't for "the media", nobody would know the first thing about them, nor care what they had to say !! When Rush and Hannity, Sarah and Ann Coulter complain about how their issues are treated in what they call "main Stream Media", it is merely a smoke screen for having nothing positive to say about their own right wing agenda !! Let's face it, the past 8 years of the GOP have been a disaster, which is why their butts were voted out!! PLEASE let Sarah go back to her life in obsecurity !!
It's true that the media was extremely irresponsible in reporting stories about Palin's family – the one about Trig not being hers was downright mean-spirited and cruel.
The media is pretty bad these days, I think most people would agree with that. It just doesn't seem that way, because the folks who hate Palin love a chance to vent on her. And the sad fact is, most of them are probably more like her than they realize other than the abortion issue and the gay marriage issue.
Oh yes, there is only one side to this and she is a complete victim. Dear God, does she take personal responsiblity for anything. I didn't hear any of the media accuse her of not being her sons mother, there were rumors rampant in the blogs, but the blogs aren't the news media.
Of course we did see weeks of Obamas wife in the media for her comment, and bing taken out of context no less.
She was a bad choice, period. The Republican party has set the bar low where mediocrity is aspired to, where religous ideology and symbolism has replaced the true conservative principals of small government and prudent spending.
The party has let itself be taken over and destroyed by the extreme right and look where it has gotten us/them.
Time to grow up, revitalize the true conservative ideals without the religous, radical and devisive crowd otherwise the party will continue to crumble.
This woman can not properly compose a complete sentence.
If she had issue with SNL and Tina Fey, why did she appear on the show? Had her ticket won the election, she would not be making these ridiculous comments about the media coverage.
Oh, she just needs to go away now.
She's a nutbag. If she wants people to see her in a different light, she should stay out of the limelight and get herself some edumacation!
She's right! The media crucified her because the liberal left didn't agree with her conservative values. The media made up its mind and then told the American people to whom they should vote. So many of the problems with Obama's past were simply overlooked or given little acknowledgement but if it had been a Republican with a shady past of consorting with terrorists or anti-american churches then it would have been on the news for weeks, not a five minute spot.
And, now that she's no longer a candidate, the media is still making her life miserable. And they call it news when she gets angry about them targeting her children.
I am appalled at all of you who actually believe that Trig is not her child. What an asinine thing to suggest. Anyway, what would she gain by covering up the birth of that child? Did any of you actually look at that sweet baby? DId you actually think about what it is like to have a child with special needs? You guys are sickening.
Her AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!!
Will she PLEASE just GO AWAY and let us live in peace down here in the lower 48. She and Johnny Boy lost. Build a bridge to nowhere and get over it already!!!!!!!!
GOOD GRIEF woman..........cant stand the heat, get the he double
hocky sticks, fire!!!
complain, complain, complain.
Quit your job, sell avon, and start tending to them kids you have.
STOP WHINING SARAH
Again, Sarah Palin brought her family into the campaign, making them public figures. She could have left them in Alaska. She made the issue of how proud she was of her pregnant, unwed teen daughter, of her husband, her son going to Iraq, etc. Now she reaps what she sows.
Not sure who these stories, and subsequent comments, appeal to, but except for a few, I'm guessing these appeal to fricking idiot left wing homos, and homo-ettes. Whoever came up with the stupid premise that Trig is not Palin's child, should first do a FOIA request or whatever is applicable in the med world to prove his claim, before spouting it off in print. No proof? Don't make the claim.
Sarah who?
Wow, "personal, salacious" reporting in the media?
I'm glad the Alaska Governor's office pointed this out.
I've never seen such a thing . . .
Let's get it right: Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn were indeed terrorists, and unabashedly so. The only question was whether Mr. Obama was "palling around" with them, or merely interacting with them on some lesser basis. The comments of posters here who question the first proposition reflect clearly the distorting influence the media has had.
The way the media covers any story is nothing new. They will twist and turn facts or words to get a great sound bite. Stop feeding them and move on with your life. Your 15 minutes are up.
Makes you wonder if Trig is not really Bristol's child, why else would she use the name of Tripp for her newborn? Is she just crazy for names that begin with the letter T?
Good for Govener Palin. She has the guts to tell it like it is. The media is corrupt and if a scientific poll was ever taken it would show how much the citizens of the USA loath them. They are nothing more than a bunch of high priced puppets for the far left. This country needs more Govener Palin's.
Linda Lee,
You're right, thousands of Americans do support her. Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well against the 64 million who just showed their support for Obama.
will this ever end??
Governor Palin, let the past be gone. History will judge as it always does. You are just justifying our worst fears about you.
CNN and the rest of the media... why do you still bother with a BORING subject.
January 9th, 2009 12:11 pm ET
“As a public official, I expect criticism and I expect to be held accountable for how I govern,”
Unfortunately, because you are a public official, your personal life is an issue. And because you are a public official, your family is also in the spotlight, unfortunately.
Maybe they do things differently in Alaska, but welcome to the lower 48, you finally see how things are really done.
__________________________________________________
Would have been nice if the press would have realized obama is a public official and not ask him silly questions like "What kind of dog are you getting"? I think that's the hardest question he got. I guess he got away without his family or himself being examined due to the fact he lives in the upper 57 states uh?
Why do the left wing liberals hate Sarah Palin so much? She has done nothing to deserve all this hate from everyday americans,especially her family. But, based on the comments, it doesn't matter, you just want to pile on because it makes you feel better to make fun of someone else. You know Obama has fooled you all. He has been taking pills to change his skin color from white to black. He is really a conservative in sheeps clothing. 4 yrs from now he will begin to look more like Michael Jackson.
Yes.. yes. Keep reacting to things like this in the way that you are... You are doing great!
The problem with Ms. Palin is that she does not know the meaning of 'salacious'..... She is not smart enough to know it.
That was sarcasm.
I like Sarah becuase she is true !! Go PALIN.
I see alot of hate for her what did she do? maybe becuase she is a conservative? . I think most of the bad coments come from gays or jealous woman?
If you watch the interview with Katie it should scare the hell of of you. This woman lacked knowlege and experience! Yes, her 15 minutes are over !
Dear, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
She speaks. I listen and still do not understand what she's talking about..other than the poor me stuff. Is this an Alaskan way of speaking or can't she make complete sense of her thoughts? I just think she cannot make herself understood properly. How would anyone ever in a trillion years think she'd make it as a president is beyond comprehension. Just like her lingo.
Notice to the Right:
#1. This train wreck is of your making. You are so set in your ways that you rallied behind an unqualified, remotely literate person just because the campaign of your party said so. Our VP may not be the most tactful VP, but he is leaps and bounds better than who the Right was trying to put in. #2. I hope that the country will now look alot more closely to the politicians our respective parties puts forth for national office. In a desperate effort to win, the McCain campaign spun a woman who communicates with run-on sentences, who ostrisized urban america by qualifying where the "real america" resides as someone who could potentially be LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. Shame on your Win at all Cost Mentality
Sarah Palin definitely was used by John McCain. It's OK, she turned the campaign into a "hate mob" but want the media to apologize to her for sexism. Wrong!
Sarah What goes around comes around. You spent the whole campaign taking other's situation out of context. Being that you are so religious – As you sow so shall you reap
It's pointless to whine about certain media elements not letting the 'Trig is Gov. Palin's baby" story go away. I barely remember that story, but I do remember the "Obama is a Muslim" story that never went away, or the "Obama is not a US citizen" story that even turned into a court case handed to the US Supreme Court. The point is this happens to everybody thrust (or who thrusts themselves) into the public eye, and a good politician will be the one who can ignore this drivel and move on. Whining about it now just shows weakness and a lack of political fortitude.
If the media would quit reporting lies as truths, this would be a much better world.
These comments illustrate what I've long said – if you want to see hatred and bigotry, always look to the Left. Face it, libs – you hate her because she believes in a higher power and she's pro-life.
If you watch the interview with Katie it should scare the hell OUT of you. This woman lacked knowlege and experience! Yes, her 15 minutes are over !
Sarah – get a life. We've seen you, we've heard you, and we don't want any part of you. I'm also tired of hearing stroies about Bristol and Levi. They're another pair of losers.
I feel bad for her now.....she is breaking down....get help now Sarah...
And why are we still talking about her?
The only mention I see of Palin in the media lately is Palin complaining about the media. She's way yesterday's news, and if she'd just go back to Alaska and be quiet, the media would be done too.
I am just sick of her and her ramblings. She makes no sense, doesn't know much of anything and is a sorry example of a political figure.
She needs to get over her beauty queen mentality and into the real world.
Shaggy,
You are stupid. FIrst of all, affirmative action does not get you into Harvard. Secondly, I guess you do not recognize intelligence and unintelligence since you are obviously in the latter group.
Gov. Palin has shown that her intelligence level is very low. Sure she completed college after 6 years and received a degree in journalism. Evidently, she failed to put that degree in use, since she is incable of saying a grammatically correct sentence, nor writing one.
Don't blame Obama because he is intelligent and uses his intelligence. Higher education is out there for all to obtain it.
She will never be Presidential material, as long as she is still hung up on the past election....... plain and simple...... Sarah answered questions very horribly(Katie Couric interview)....... It cost her. People began to look at her as very ill equiped for the WH....... And really could you see Palin, in the financial situation we're in now, making a difference, she told couric she would "get back to her" onsome of the specific things McCain had done to reform or basically back up the maverick rhetoric spewed heavily during their campaign, she said, I'll get back to you, or mail em to ya, whatever ....... John McCain is a war president we already had one in Bush(well Bush had to become one)..... McCain should have been the Republican choice in 2000.... he would have handled the wars differently...... We are now in an era of financial instability, 2 wars and half the eastern world wants to kill each other....... Our problems require pragmatic thinkers..... I like Sarah, but she will never be ready for a presidential run, w/ her far right rhetoric...... independents, and dems won't vote for her.......She needs to start focusing on real issues, and lay off the culture wars, and ideological polarizing views she upholds.
Donna> I think Sarah knows what it's like to rip a person to pieces w.out a reason. See: her entire campaign against Obama.
Sure – if it's the "Liberal" media. She's all smiles for the conservative media.
Of course to her any bad press is "liberal" media.
WHO CARES SARAH!!!!!!?????
Shaggy – people like you make me sick..because you have to always bring the color of someone's skin into it. Affirmative action has helped white women just as much (if not more) as it has helped black people. Obama is smart – SO DEAL WITH IT.
Does she even know what "salacious" means?
Why in the world are we still talking about this women? She is nothing to talk about GO away Palin and who gives a rats butt about your kids, so I guess she's still a little pissed about losing, just glad she's not the V.P.
STFU@Sarah Palin.
I saw parts of this interview and she is just as DUMB now as she was during the campaign!
What 'adminstration" does she keep referring to? It seems she's hell-bent on staying in the news. If the GOP is so desperate for a "future leader" that they pin their hopes on this moron,they are truly a pathetic bunch!
The media did not control the vote (((sarah))) the voters did! Accept the message you were sent!
NO HOW NO PALIN!
GIVE IT UP, Sarah.
Honestly, didn't you learn anything? You are probably a really nice person just totally unsuited and ill prepared for any kind of elected or public job.
Keep your head down, your mouth shut and get on with trying to be some kind of governor. Please no more comments about seeing Russia from your windows etc.
Well Sarah, to paraphrase what you said about Barack Obama's so called connection with the Bomber nut. "If he has a connection with this domestic terrorist then that is something the public would want to know about." Well Sarah "If you lied about who's child your claiming as your own, then it is something the public would want to know about." Sarah please, please, please just STOP TALKING! It is not your strong suit because you forget the other "Stories" you've told.
Actually, I think Palin is right. Trig should not be subject.
Unless, of course, Todd isn't the father. I wonder, was Todd's best friend with Sarah during those long Alaska nights?
Hockey Mom unfortunate i believe anything i read about you
Okay this is stupid. It didn't work out. Accept it and move on. You just need to take responsibility for your own failures and stop blaming everyone else. Just should not have been chosen in the first place, plain and simple. I have nothing personal against Palin, she was used by McCain.
If Palin really wants to stay in the news so bad, she should do all men a favor and make a porn! I know I would pay good money for that.
I believe Sarah has been an easy target for the journalistic vultures. With the present state of our nation no one really believed that the Republicans would be given a CHANCE, If given the chance I believe we would have seen a difference, a change. I do believe that rural citizens do have a different life than the "urbanites" and should not be criticized for it. Leave Ms. Palin and her family alone.
whats up with that comment from shaggy... if not for affirmative action obama would be working in a paper mill..? if you were smart you would research the presidential candidates and their backgrounds. he's not exactly dumb. just because you don't agree with his political and moral standings doesn't mean that he isn't qualified for the job.
If only all politicians could be treated with kid gloves like the press did with Obama.
I just had to copy and repost this comment from a Real American.
Read it slowly and take in as much of the hate as you possibly can, then exhale and realize they will lose all their power in 13 days:
"Seriously, Hope? Caroline Kennedy is qualified to be a Senator because she "graduated from an Ivy League college" and "has written books'? Really? And for all you stupid liberals complaining about "another Palin story" the answer is real simple: DON'T READ IT, DON'T CLICK ON IT, SCROLL PAST IT YOU NIMRODS!!!"
The media not blame. Sarah knew she was unqualified for the job of VP. She dragged her family in front of the media. Society has not changed.People are going to talk about you whether its good or bad. If she wanted to protect her children she should not have paraded them around the press. She is not the victim. Stop blaming people for your mistakes Palin. If you want to blame someone, blame McCain.
That darned "media" is always out to get her.....especially that evil Katie Couric who asked her those trick questions that nobody could possibly answer right, like "what publications do you read?" .......how unfair!
Gov Palin is absolutely correct.
The media produces the trash and you all spread it... for free.
Guess it's a win / win huh?
Sarah Palin needs to take her and the rest of her WTT family and disappear once and for all. The joke is over.
This is for the comment by Disappointed person, BITE ME
"What about Obama? If it weren't for affirmative action, he'd be a middle manager in a paper company."
If this is true, what a great endorsement for affirmative action.
Palin was obviously the wrong candidate for the job... in 2008! Let's move on please.
Palin is right. Even the liberals are admitting that they are engaging in a double-standard here. But liberals have always been hypocrites. And, hey, have you heard the gays moaning about everything these days?!
The gift to the Dem's who keeps on giving! Is it possible that somehow she just might get onto the '012 ticket???
I'm sure that the best and brightest minds in the Democratic camp are busy at work figuring out everything they can do to help that happen.
If they can manuever things so Sarah Palin is part of the Republican's 012 ticket they can go on a lengthy vacation during the campaign as Sarah will insure thier victory!!!
What a gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People keep commenting on her because they like the bizarre. This one can't get any worse. It's like watching a fire, or a wreck, or a disaster on TV. You really don't want to watch in case anyone is hurt, but when they set the fire themselves, wreck due to their own stupidity, or cause a disaster without even knowing, then it becomes entertainment. Sort of like bad reality TV.
Wow, erroneous allegations !! It's almost like somebody going around and saying that a politician is a terrrorist or something !!!
LIKE IT WILL DO ANY GOOD! SHE SAID HERSELF "ITS NOT GOOD TO PICK A FIGHT WITH PEOPLE WHO BUY INK BY THE BARREL !" WHO CARES ANYWAY THE "NOINTED one" IS IN PLACE. LIKE LITTLE PEOPLE HAVE ANY OTHER VIEW IN AMERICA EXCEPT AGREE WITH WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO DO! LAND OF THE CHEAT AND HOME OF THE NAIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE someone make this woman go away. Doesn't she realize that, if she ever thinks she can run for national office again, all this stuff will resurface to bite her in the butt???? YOU BETCHA.
Gov. Palin,
The truth will eventually come out. You said that you delivered Trig at the hospital on a certain day and time. Unfortunately, the hospital that you named to not have record of you having a baby there.
Also, your daughter was out of school the whole of that year. Now she has 2 babies and is only 18. You have lied so much about everything, how do you think anyone is going to believe you now.
99% of the time I disagree with Sarah Palin, but she has a point here. Leave her children alone, and maybe she will say nothing worth printing in the lower 48.
I didn't vote for McCain due to his running mate; i.e., Palin; however, I agree with Palin on what she says about the media. Freedom of press is killing America. Katie Couric is a 'giggly wimp!' She is hung up on herself like Hillary Clinton is. They both make me sick!
Giggle for me Katie!
It was very bad judgment for Palin to fly back to AK while being in labor. What about if there would have been an emergency. that was number # 1. Me as a mom I would had run to the nearest hospital. and regarding that questions that Couric ask???? sorry but frankly, you were suppose to answer them. were just simple questions. and we did not like that way you divided us. calling President Obama terroritst. So are you palling around with drugtraffickers now?????
She is a disgrace to the Women's Movement, Oh I said women. Sorry, Sarah, I forgot you think like a teenie bopper, you just need to grow up. Spit out the bubble gum, stop winkin' and all that other cutsie childish behavior, then maybe people will respect you a little more. No one really takes you serious, and I watched what you said about Caroline and Katie, Oops, your female jealousy was certainly on exhibition there.
Is this the same Sarah Palin that we have heard "Pals arround with drug dealesrs" ?????
So is the Grandmother in prison or not?
Disappointed January 9th, 2009 12:26 pm ET
You people are pathetic, you all complain about how you don't want to see anymore about her but here you are complaining on the wall that your tired of it. YOU ARE ALL STUPID
*************************************************************************
Isn't this still AMERICA???? Aren't we still free to comment on whatever we chose to?
YOU'RE the one that's STUPID....oh yeah ...and so is PALIN!
She speaks the truth. I know it's easier to call her stupid than it is to actually debate the intelligent points she make but give her a break. She's earned at least that much by now. I don't expect that to happen though. I expect the same old tired "Republican stupid" joke to continue followed by media fawning and awards for those who rip Palin (aka Tina Faye).
The bottom line here is simple. Gov. Palin can say and do what she wants( within the law). The media can report stories on her is they want. You and I can keep updated on her status if we want.
There are only three things everyone in the world needs to do each day: 1) Watch your thoughts 2) Watch your speech 3) Watch your actions.
These are important things to do each day. They have nothing to do with anyone else except for the fact that if we watched these three things in ourselves everyday, we would find a kinder, gentler more peaceful world.
SARAH ,HERE WE GO AGAIN. YOU ARE SO STUPID THAT YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN AND YOU CANNOT APPREND WHAT PEOPLE ARE TELLING YOU ON THE BLOG. DON'T YOU GET IT? STAY OUT OF THE MEDIA THEN THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO REPORT.AVOID MAKING STATEMENTS ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN AND LIFE WILL BE BETTER IN THE FUTURE. FOR YOUR FUTURE IN POLITICS---FORGET ABOUT THE WHOLE IDEA. STAY AT HOME AND ENJOY YOUR TLC WITH YOUR HUSBAND.
Let me get this straight, the media attacks Palin's kids & that's OK, but Chelsey Clinton was untouchable, and not one word has been said about Obama's kids. LIberal double standard if you ask me.
For the first time in my life I am NOT proud of my country.
Shame on the media for implying that she had foreign policy experience just because she could see Russia from her house. Shame on the media for not stating what newspapers she reads, and shame on the media for such sexist questions as to what the VP does.
Yeah, keep blaming the media for your OWN WORDS or lack of Palin. It worked so well the first time.
How is the media's fault that Palin is a habitual liar and dimwit?
I wish she would go away, her 15 minutes are up.
Oh, and her comparison to Caroline Kennedy is not accurate. Kennedy should be subject to scrutiny, but she is vying for a Senate seat, not the vice-presidency. The level of scrutiny will be different because those are different positions. Of course, Palin demonstrated that she did not understand the role of the vice-president, so she probably does not understand the distinction.
The only difference between the experience and intelligence of Barack Obama and Sarah Palin is marketing. It is scary to see how many people do not understand how impartial and how manipulative the media has become. If you look just at their accomplishments, it is evident that Palin has more leadership ability than Obama. It's going take a long time for the truth about Obama to get through to most of you.
Sarah's only problem is that she is Republican. A Republican woman that is successful. That is a slap in the face of all the rhetoric the left has put out. And she will continue to be successful. Those of you who are posting negative comments, please relish your anonymity. You are free to call her any names you wish, but, remember that namecalling reflects more on the one calling names than on the one called names. Most of you will never achieve any position as high as Sarah already has achieved, so who has sour grapes? Who are the losers? Seems clear to me.
Regardless of her IQ, political prowess, popularity or any perceived lack of the same, this woman is correct in defending her family's privacy and her children. The media today is a sorry excuse for journalism – e-news, papers, radio and tv all show a strong tendency towards publishing personal bias and innuendo rather than facts.
I forgot to add, you also are a very vicious mean spirited woman, all the nasty things you said about Barack, you need to go to confession.
She still has MORE to say? If she crept away quietly the media might ignore her. Now she is still crying over long ago spilt milk.
When will she get it that she makes herself a very easy target the second she opens her scatter-brained mouth. I'm almost sorry the campaign is over I so did love to read what dim-wit statement she made that day. It was comical to say the least.
Palin is right on the money. The mainstream media is a calamity and disgrace. John Edwards was the real salacious deal, not Palin. Even the tabloids knew better.
The only source of her problems is in the mirror. She is only trying to keep herself in the spotlight by throwing a pity party for herself.
Sarah – Don't worry, history will not forget you. We still remember your type. We still remember Linda Tripp.
I really can not believe that you folks fall into this Democratic philosphy of life. I mean really. What ever happened to religious beliefs in our country. What I see is everyone putting the bible aside and living as they please. Without regard for one another. I can't see where Sarah is any different that any of us, she is human. Can any of you say that you have secured a governorship? Most likely not...so don't knock someone who has out lived and performed you in life. As for Obama he would never see my vote, ever. Talk about electing someone with no experience.....the American people did just that.
Sarah,
If you dislike the media so much, why do you keep talking to them, exposing so much more of your idiocy?
You create your own problems every time you open your mouth. Please, keep your mouth shut.
Cathy, an educated woman.
Go home and raise your offspring. Your whining is so very old, as
is the uneducated garbage you spew.
MOVE ON
How is she whining? The media is lying about her and she is defending herself and that is whining?
2.6. Million jobs lost in 2008 and people are still discussing this Idiot. Wow only in America.
She can dish it, but she can't take it!
Mrs Palin, if you try to look like a poor loser you just succeeded.
The joke on SNL about "unwilling teenagers" was a joke aimed at HER, it was NOT aimed at her kid. Rather, it was implying that Sarah forced her teen daugther to marry for political image. Sarah doesn't get it (we didn't need Katie to see she was stupid.) There was no "attack on the kids."
I can't figure out whether Sarah Palin is fundamentally stupid or if she was simply dropped as a baby. NOBODY could be that clueless... oh wait, I forgot about George Bush...
Sarah should remember how grossly out of context she took relationships, quotes and actions of Obama and Biden throughout the entire campaign. It appears to be tough for her when the shoe is on the other foot. The media and the blogs will not let her go as long as she continues to stay in front of cameras making comments about everything. The media is doing as they always do – and right now they have a duracell bunny who won't stop talking and banging a drum.
It wasn't the media fueling these Trig rumors, it was blog posters, people just like all of us posting here questioning something that seemed a bit odd. If you can't the slightest amount of scrutiny (tough questions such as name a newspaper you read) than politics isn't for you!
Sarah Palin is NOT dumb and she has a right to her opinion. Isn't that what being an American is about–stating your opinion and doing it freely. Good grief, I would be upset if the media was saying things like the story that her baby is not hers. Did no one see her pregnant? At that time probably not because no one cared about her since she was in one of our "57" states that happened to be in the outer limits of our contiguous 48 (Barack, do you know that big word?). Leave her and her family alone in their personal lives. Say what you will about Sarah, but she does have guts and it is o.k. if she is a working mom. It can be done you know!
The way she lashes out at people, I'd hate to have her finger on the RED BUTTON!!! SCARY
Someone call a Waaaaaambulance !
As an inconsequential, ignorant, incompetent piece of white trash this woman no longer deserves any coverage in any media. It's about time she and her low life family just went away. CNN are you listening?
Doesn't our country have bigger issues to report on than this woman? I mean, K-Fed is dating someone new!!! Hello?!!!
Remember, there are only 1395 more shopping days until the next presidential election!
Sarah Palin is such a whiner. Does she not get it! She is not wanted to needed. Mama Grizzly needs to go and hibernate.
I can't believe what a buch of children most CNN posters are! Shallow, ill-mannered children at that.
And the Academy Awards for being "STUCK ON STUPID" goes to Sarah Palin.
Ms. Palin needs to STOP running off with her comments because if anyone is making herself look even MORE ignorant in front of millions of people, it's SARAH PALIN herself!!
When you come out and start attacking the media you might as well put a gun to your head. The media is a MONSTER and they will chew her up and spit her out before you can say..,. "ya betcha".
Her press interviews during the campaign were her own doing and she should have been BETTER PREPARED and more focused on portraying herself as someone with some level of "common sense and intelligence". But Instead she made her self look very "trailer trash and hill-billy" by all her "winking and ya'betcha" comments. AND when she gave a "shout out" during a Vice Presidential DEBATE...that was truly the LAST straw. She played herself as nothing more than an incompetent and pretentious VP Candidate who clearly did NOT know what the hell she was doing or say 99% of the campaign time.
NO ONE bought her garbage. Sarah Palin did nothing but play the American People as "stupid" with her comical antics and it DID NOT WORK. The American people did NOT find it funny at all coming from a VP candidate. Are you kidding me?
Palin 2012!
(Brought to you by the committee to re-elect Barack Obama)
Why is everybody always picking on me, all I was doing was being mavericky!
Quote of the day:
"When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or, you know, maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, man, that doesn't do us any good. Women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. I don't think it's, it bodes well for her – - a statement like that." – Sarah Palin
Enough with Palin. As the Bush/Cheneys go away so should she. I could care less about whose kid is who. I would be more concerned if we ever called her VP Palin or forbid President Palin.
As expected, the Palin hate machine is in full force right here on this site. I agree with her and the only people who think she was fairly treated by the media are the far Left whackos(like most posting here) who hate Conservatives. Liberals are the tolerant ones indeed. Right.
You tolerate each other and no one else.
Oh BOO HOO!! All politicians and celebrities are subject to public scrutiny and public ridicule. From Blogo to Larry Craig... from Dubya to Cunningham. From Michael Jackson to Brittney Spears... they all have to take their lumps.
If there's nothing for the media to talk about, then they don't say anything about you. Notice the female governor from my state of Michigan doesn't have anything even remotely scandalous like Sarah Palin does. Palin wants the media coverage... just not the negative media coverage.
Well BOO HOO!! Sometime you just have to take your lumps. And if you get more than you fair share of the lumps, you better take a good look in the mirror and make some changes to your life.
Go get em girl ! The media in this country is out of control ! I never voted for one media person to run things in this country !
Wah! Wah! Wah! Woman you lost, get over yourself and move on.
The only reason she is doing this is to make sure we don't forget about her, so the moron can run in 2012. If republicans are crazy enough to nominate her, then at least this would guarantee a re-election win for Obama.
Here's a solution that should satisfy Palin AND help out the economy. I know lots of industries need bailouts. Larry Flynt needs a bail out, Palin needs publicity, its match made in heaven and all those who touted her main qualification as "being hot" may have their dreams come true. Add some guns to the photo shoot,Sarah and satisfy your base..
You mean, like the way you did the same against Barack Obama??
Go away please!!!!! Oh yeah, and take Joe the Plumber with you!
For someone who is "irrelevant" she sure draws a lot of fire from the haters. They must really fear her.
Why don't you all leave this poor, little, pathetic person alone.
Sarah, go home, just go home.
I can count on one hand the number of John McCain stories that I've seen since the election. Why can't I say the same about his VP candidate who's far more worthless than McCain. Do we really need her to do a new interview or make a new press release every single day?
Let's all ignore her and maybe she will go away!!!!!!!!
Sarah, pull yourself together.
I'm getting absolutely SICK of this woman. The only reason she's "lashing out" is to feed her need for attention. Get over it, Sarah. You have zero leadership capability. You poloarize people and you can't put together a substantive thought. You have no one to blame but yourself for whatever animosity you feel.
Enough of Palin. She's old news. Who cares? Thankfully she was defeated and is about as far away from the White House as ever.
This story...I don't know if I want to laugh or puke...
When you see an obviously mentally deranged or mentally defective person wandering from pillar to post, drooling on themselves, emitting occasional howls of indignation and lashing out in all directions, the kind, indeed humane, thing to do is turn off the lights and cameras and quietly call in mental health professionals to deal with the poor wretch.
I think that time has come with this woman of questionable intellectual acuity. Turn out the lights CNN and other news organizations ... it is obscene to continue to let her make a spectacle of herself.
)O(
Sarah Palin please stop whining. You spewed so much hate and lies during the campaign. You are so bitter about losing you are blaming everyone but the right one (yourself). You need to move on!!! If you thought the American people would buy the hate and lies you and McCain threw out there you were dead wrong. People recognize phonies when they see them!!!!!
Sara should be going to the Middle East with Joe the plumber to report on how great their God is and how he will help them prevail.
Neo-cons, Jesus Freaks Ugh!
This woman is astonishingly self-deluded, incredibly dishonest, unbelievably ignorant and completely narcissistic. Have you seen and heard enough yet Alaska.
Cry, Baby, cry ! Stop the whining, you silly cow ! How many times can you milk the same cow ? Whining and complaining about the same things to keep yourself in the headlines – now that is smart strategy !
What a twit. Bloggers are not members of the mainstream media, and yet she continues to lump them together. Despite her howls of protestation against journalists and "the mainstream media", I don't ever remember a single mainstream media site running a story about Trig not being hers, or piling on regarding her daughter's illegitimate child.
Yes, they reported her daughter was pregnant and that the father was Levi Johnston. Just as they reported that Michelle Obama was quoted as saying that for the first time in her life she was proud of her country. In that regard, there was no double standard from the mainstream press on the handling of families.
This egomaniac needs to quit whining and get back to the job of governing her state. Why do we keep hearing more from her than from her running mate who actually ran for president???
CNN – Your one-stop Palin new source!
Oh my God! When will she realize it's not the media that did her in, it was herself. She's the one that couldn't give a decent, intelligent interview. I would have more respect for her if she would just quit complaining and own up to the fact that she wasn't, nor ever will be, ready to be more than a governor of a very small state (population wise).
She needs to get over herself! She has nerves complaining about the way people portray her when she herself goes on SNL!
First of all, someone else wrote that statemenr for her, because I doubt she even knows what "salacious" means.
Secondly, is she just now figuring out those Trig rumors were out there?? She must not read much if that's the case– that was October news.
Third, why does she persist in bringing up personal things and then whine that her personal life is being unfairly examined in the media? She's the one who keeps bringing it up.
Lastly, I wonder if she ever returned all those pricey $150,000+ clothes? You would think there would have been something in the press about who or what charity got them... and what was going to be done with them. My guess is they're still hanging in the Palin's closets. Care to honestly respond to that one Sarah?
Palin, your timing sucks and you are shameful to make such an insignificant, soap opera-ish statement on a day with record job losses.
We know you miss the limelight and you just cannot accept that you lost and Obama won.
If you hate the media so much, why do you keep engaging it?
Anyway, yes, good to see that you've been referring to the dictionary.
I am baacccckkkk..... pls.. stay up there and don't come down to lower 48.
Sara dear,
If you don't want critisism, don't open your mouth.... It doesn't appear that anything intelligent comes out of it... anyway
Also maybe politics is the wrong profession for you . You don't seem to handle the heat/scrutiny well.
Palin is awful who cares what she think she is jealous of Obama and Frey, Couric, Caroline Kennedy.....Palin would never win the White House seat stay in Alaska.
Wasn't it Sarah Palin who tried to insinuate our President elect was a terrorist by paling around with them and incited folks to yell Kill Him, stuff that turkey.......It reminded me of scripture and God word certainly prevailed: Proverbs 10:10
He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
and Proverbs 6:12-14 12A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
I may not agree with her but she is right in regards to the treatment she is getting about her child. To imply that a parent (mother) is not the baby's real parent is a cruel and mean thing to do. Especially in a case like this where the child is handicapped. To defend the actions of others in this case as most of the commentors have, is only a sign of the unbelievably cruel and morally deficient society we have become.
I'd love to see the jealous libs. and haters of anyone that has morals comment about Sarah. Just because your daughter gets pregnant out of wedlock, does not mean you are an immoral idiot. I would hate to see some of the stuff these people are involved in with all their hate and bigotry???? They wish they were as sharp and pretty as she is. Can't take being homelier and dumber than she is, so rip her apart verbally. Only wish we had more public servants like her!!!!! She is great, great, great and will be around for a long time. Better get used to it complainers. Most of you will never accomplish a fraction of what Sarah will in her life and I thank God for her daily and love someone like her who actually takes a stand for her beliefs and will not waver. Hang in there Sarah !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Palin is right out of "A Face in the Crowd". She and Joe the Plumber were created by the same media machine that they decry. Worse, they are pedestrian demagogues with limited intellectual gifts. If the Republicans are pinning their hopes on Palin, they are making a big error. William F. Buckley must be revolving in his grave. Dumb and dumber conservatism is a dead end.
Hey all you a holes that can't see her point. Would you like it if the media was questioning your family? Or making up things about your family. Her family business is no more the media's business than yours is. Bunch of left leaning freakin idiots. ALL OF YOU. Be prepared to reap what you have sown starting 1/20/09. Point to ponder........tax credits are great when they are Obama's idea, just not when they are Bush's idea. Hipocrits!
Dumb...just plain old dumb. Sarah please go away.
She really structures her sentences like a fifth grader; run-ons, fragments, too many demonstarvive pronouns, and non-sequiturs are way too prevalent for anyone considering a leadership position in our society. This is the icing on top of the fact that what she says lacks insight and sophistication. She reminds me of a pull-string doll who just spits out catch phrases automatically. She is only fit for a provincial position and her best qualification as a politician is that she is an excellent demagogue.
The baby is her daughters'. She claimed to be 9 MONTHS PREGNANT AND HIDING THE BABY FROM THE WORLD. Her daughter took 9 months off school for MONO and came back shortly after the birth and Sarah went back to work. The problem is the simple people of Alaska believe whatever Alaskans say. Go to their websites and there is no negative anything about their politicians. Why else would they re-elect an 80+ year old politician with 7 felony counts and claim that they just don't " trust no D.C. courts anyhow" ???She is the worst person I have ever seen. Look at her face during the HATE rallies. The more hate from the crowd, the more she smiles. Period. She turned on her own party during an election. Republicans can go away for a while and so can all the states that voted McCain/Palin because YOU DON'T MATTER. That simple fact is what really angers you. Please don't try to argue because we all know it is true.
Does she want some cheese with her "whine"?
What is both sad and amazing to me is that Gov. Palin still does not see the point of Katie Couric's question regarding what media she reads. It had nothing to do with whether "she can read" or "if Alaskans read" as Gov. Palin has said. it is about what sources of the news she turns to, what influences her thinking, etc. The facts that she both (a) blew the answer to this question, and (b) still doesn't understand the legitimate basis for the question two months later is revealing.
I actually agree with her about children of candidates or elected offials being off limits – except when the candidate makes an issue about the same children as part of the campaign. When she trotted her daughter and boyfriend out on the stage to make a point about "sanctity of life," she opened the issue. Fair game. Poor daughter.
If you want to prove everyone wrong about Trig, produce some pictures of you being pregnant during 2006-2007. Otherwise shut up. And Sarah, nobody "misquotes" you, you say things that are idiotic, we make fun of those things you say. You are a fake wanna be who winked your way into governorship. I guess most of the voters in Alaska are horned up men wishing to get a piece of you. We here in so called "lower 48" could give a rats tail about you! So go back to your igloo, go shoot some defensless animal from your helo, and go away! No better yet, hang around for a bit, I need some new material for my stand up act.
@Disappointed January 9th, 2009 12:26 pm ET
You people are pathetic, you all complain about how you don't want to see anymore about her but here you are complaining on the wall that your tired of it. YOU ARE ALL STUPID.....Disappointed Y are we Stupid and Pathetic cuz we disagree with you !!!
Blame everyone else but me
she's no longer relevant. if she hates the media so much why does she continue to try and engage it. people have moved on and it sounds like sour grapes stop covering her and let's hope she goes away for good.
Please crawl back into the hole from where you came you stupid fascist dolt! And to you in the media, since she thinks you should be PR people rather than reporting how stupid and DANGEROUS this idiot really is, STOP REPORTING ABOUT HER!
SORRY SARAH I DON'T YOU GOVERN ANYMORE-I THINK THE FIRST DUDE IS TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO IN ALASKA. ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW YOU GOT THAT JOB. BYE THE WAY SARAH,WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE NOVEL?
Shaggy
Before you claim someone benefited from affirmative action do some research. Of course if Obama did, thank God. Another eight years of someone like Mr. Bush or Palin whom you apparently feel is qualified would certainly make the average Joe better off. That's according to recent history, right?
Better recognize,there is a new sheriff in town!
Tell you daughter to go back to school, tell her future husband to go back to school. They need to get a diploma, not a degree (that comes after you attend college!!!) – Guess you need to look this up on Google! And everybody else on the media and the ones like reading it (me included) leave them alone. It is getting boring. Take care of your little one and his little sisters.
I am not a Palin fan by any means. The Press, however, is going to make a martyr out of her and this will have poor results for developing good leadership.
Wow, the utter hate against this woman that did nothing to any of you is simply amazing, and the facination...no, insistance by the MSM to continue to try and rip her apart is simply sickening.
I thought the Democratic party was supposed to be about unity and bringing together of people.
The truth is that many Democrats are resentful and spiteful. Even in the face of victory they cannot help but through mud on the loser. They so hate their enemies that they will only accept complete submission to their beliefs and causes. CNN, you are no better.
When does she ever work for the people of Alaska? My goodness could you imagine if she was in the White House it would never end.
BOY YOU PEOPLE ARE REALLY NASTY.
SORRY SARAH I DON'T THINK YOU GOVERN ANYMORE-I THINK THE FIRST DUDE IS TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO IN ALASKA. ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW YOU GOT THAT JOB. BYE THE WAY SARAH,WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE NOVEL?
Couple words of advice Sarah:
SHUT UP & GO AWAY!!!
I have to laugh at all the Obama Kool Aid drinkers – Obama can do no wrong – he ran w/the notion he was the Anti War candidate – THEN KEEPS THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE!! His Administration looks like Clintons – looks like the politics of old doesn't it?? OPEN YOUR EYES – You will get what you voted for – all in due time.
Do you want some cheese with that whine?
During the campaign she couldn't say a word because she didn't understand the issues. Now she wants to blame it on everyone else. She should concentrate on being governor of Alaska instead of worrying about the media. The people of Alaska are paying her to work on their interests not her own.
How absurdly ironic that a person who helped to perpetuate all the falsehoods and half-truths regarding Obama, would now complain about much milder but similar tactics against her. This is very typical of the far right media outlets and their supporters to be so hypocritical. Poor Ms. Palin. I feel sorry for her, not!
Who doesn't love Sally? Who doesn't love Ellen Degeneres? Who doesn't love a woman's choice?
Palin in 2012 means four more years of Obama. Nice.
Hilarious. She's like Catwoman. Can't stand to see Kennedy getting the lime light that she enjoyed so much during the election so now she just has to compare herself to her. Palin is under qualified for anything other than mayor of Wasilla and she's a walking tabloid/scandal, impossible to take seriously. I still question whether that kid is hers. The story of her flying back to AK while in labor is so outrageous, while her daughter missed months of school leading up to the birth due to "mono". Yeah right....
Sarah Palin is NOT mature enough to take any credit at all for her shortcomings.....she will continue to blame EVERYONE but herself for her disastorous VP run. Go away...govern Alaska, and leave the lower 48 alone!!!!
The only reason they are questioning if it's Sarah's baby is because this isn't Bristol's first child. As Mrs. Palin about the baby her daughter had and gave up for adoption when she was 15. Or at least ask her if this is the first time her daughter has been pregnant. Will the media report that?
You know, i figure the only reason the press is even considering Palin as an itellegent interview is a mask to cover up, what they consider to be satire! We all need a few laughs from time to time, but this is getting ridiculous! She's old news, and why not let her just hunker down in her igloo, and leave her be – this is growing old very fast. SES
For someone who trashed and bashed Obama's reputation on mere theories and rag mag conjectures the public criticism of her is MILD.
If you can't take it, don't dish it out, not even for the purpose of self Glory and Political Positions! Sympathy? – None Here.
There's no way that's her baby. It just isn't.
The media will cover Caroline Kennedy a little differently than Sarah Palin because Ms. Kennedy can answer complex questions intelligently, using complete sentences.
Palin continues to play the blame game for her own failures and she needs to move on, the election is over and she lost. It appears that Palin does read one magazine and that's the gossip magazines. There is no place in the political world for Palin who likes to bring up gossip which has nothing to do with her governing the State of Alaska, it makes her look more and more like a moran. I said it when she and McCain were riding the "Gossip Talk Express" and not "Straight Talk Express".
Hey Sarah hows your surveillance of Russia going these days. Homeland security called and said your report is overdue.
Sara dear.
Maybe politics is the wrong profession for you. You do not seem to realize what price you have to pay for being in the public limelight.
ps, i was hoping that by now you would have hired a PR coach to make you more likeable
Sarah Palin rails at the media, but she is adept at keeping her name in the media. Can she keep this media coverage up for four more years? Let's hope not.
Huh, Gov. Palin, the campaign for VP is over.
Whether you like her or not, the media smelled blood, sensed fear and attacked her from day 1. I'll be the first and not last to admit that she was awful in answering questions, but the media did it's best to capitalize on Sarah Palin and her family.
“As a public official, I expect criticism and I expect to be held accountable for how I govern,” Palin said in a statement released by her office Friday.
That's a load of crap. She expected to be treated with kid gloves because she was a woman. I'm SO glad she wasn't put into office. I'm a Democrat, but I have to say John McCain isn't a bad guy and probably would have done a pretty decent job heading up our country. But Sarah Palin? God, no. Send her back to Alaska and keep her there. I found her woefully ignorant in ... well, just about everything ... and that is not what America needs in a vice president.
Stop giving Palin a sounding board. This woman will disappear if we stop paying attention to her. Yes, every interview is a potential train wreck (too good to look away), but if you really want her to disappear, stay away from her interviews. The media will pick up on it and stop reporting on her. It's just like feeding pigeons – one or two is okay, but too soon you're surrounded and then the rest of us are left having to clean up a huge mess.
Will this woman ever stop coming up with ways of making the news? She continues to use that trailer trash family of hers to be on the front page.
Listen up Caribou bimbo. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR STATE OR YOUR LIFE. GET LOST!
Authenticity was not popular in 08!
She is an elected official her dealings are public record, and she complains about the media writing about her daughters boyfriend being caught not meeting the minimum requirements for a job? There must be a really lower set of standards for Alaska politicians.
who cares!!!! no more palin stories please.
Palin says the media created "adversarial situations,” and pursued “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
Right, like "palling around with terrorists."
Palin is a loon, a fraud and a menace to all that is good in America.
What a double standard. So personal attacks are perfectly alright as long as her and her family are not the targets of it? What a hypocrite.
I would call Sarah Palin a two-bit politician if I didn't risk being hit by a roll of quarters.
I love it when Sarah speaks out - I get such a laugh. Keep it coming Sarah, we need to have something to smile about!
of course there is going to be a difference between the way your candidacy and kennedys is covered. yours was for the vice presidency!
Why isn't McCain crying to the media 24/7 about his treatment. This lady gives all women a bad name! I am so sick of hearing about how I should care about her treatment since I am a woman. She does not represent anything I stand for and she does not represent how I would handle her given situations. When will people stop screaming sexism and recognize that she would be just as lame as a man as she is as a woman it has nothing to do with her sex. It has to do with her character and her integrity and I find her lacking in both.
Sarah Palin is yesterday's news. Who cares? Give it up.
For those who lament the supposed Liberal bias in the media, remember that the alternative bias may be worse. The right-wing adgenda exploits the ignorant and brings out the worse in people.
Liberal and proud of it!
This woman is just hypocrite and shameless.
Hey Grandma Gimmick, here's an analogy that even a brain- dead "hockey mom" like you can understand: Scoreboard! Your team lost. Now be a good loser and go away! Govern your state, raise your kids, try to build your Pipeline to Nowhere and stay the heck away from national politics. You are irrelevant now more than ever. You brought this all upon yourself and your family. This is how they play the game in the big leagues and you were way, way out of your league.
It would be refreshing to listen to her recite, say, five mistakes she made during the campaign. 1. She accepted the offer to run for VP. 2. She accepted the offer to run for VP. 3. She accepted the offer to run for VP. 4. She accepted the offer to run for VP. 5. She accepted the offer to run for VP.
She is a automobile accident happening over and over again. Yet, I keep driving by....
This lady is mentally handicapped, and thank every sane american for NOT voting for that ticket. I seem to recall, that before she was nominated, she said Hillary Clinton was doing a disservice to women for complaining about Biased media coverage...
I watched the entire coverage endlessly, the only place those rumors were discussed, was in non-major media, blogs mostly...and the only time it was mentioned about trig in major media was to talk about how ridiculous rumors are.
I would appreciate the governor providing actual instances of what she's contending, of course she couldnt even back up her credentials in a national campaign for VP "i can see russia from an island in alaska, doncha know!"
Until recently, I thought Trig was just a prop! Then I finally saw him awake and realized he was a real kid!
Give me a break Sarah, do you really consider a Senator to be equal to the Vice President of the United States? When you are one step from the Presidency of this country of course you are going to come under heavy vetting from the Media. When you accepted the nomination you should have realized the media has no boundaries. Do you live in a bubble? Dont be a poor loser. Get out of politics. You arent going anywhere after that poorly executed mess of a campaign you were part of and contributed to.
Why do you keep putting this diva in the news? PLEASE let her fade away back into the wilderness she came from? Her 15 minutes is so over!
someone must have written that statement for her – it's very well composed.
I try to avoid media interpretation or commentary until after I have listened to a full speech either in person or through broadcasts of full speeches. Media caters to advertisers and words are taken out of context. That said, I believe Gov. Palin said enough all by herself that media only had to rebroadcast her words verbatim and in context. No add-ons were necessary. She dug herself a mighty interesting ditch from which to play the blame game, and she does it quite well. I did watch from beginning to end, several of her speeches given on her own or with Senator McCain.
Palin please be patient...this media crap is just Democrats being Democrats...If the Democrats told the truth they could be Republicans, however they are liars just like the media...so everyone please remember this saying in politics..DON'T TRUST ANYONE"
Go away Sarah. Go Away!
(To the beat of "Here we go Steelers, Here we go"
Any time that Sarah Palin starts feeling like she's being ignored she'll just start complaining about something so the press will cover her. I wish the media would just ignore this D-list politician and spend its time on something someone cares about.
Dear Sarah, you did try to hide the birth of Trig that led to the rumors, you only have yourself to blame for the press you got and will get in the future. If you would ever play straight and not whine so much things would be much better for you and your family.
Some one who did not support your or McCain.
Way to go Sarah! Once again, she's telling it like it is. I hope she doesn't listen to the far left liberal hypocrites posting comments on here. "Please don't go after Obama for anything, he's perfect!" "It's not fair to bring the Rev. Wright into a conversation!"
Of course news outlets ran stories of her not knowing Africa was a continent because when it comes to Republicans, the mainstream media believes the worst first. They were suckered and printed a buried retraction many days later. The entire Trig story was insane! Just think how you hypocrite liberals would feel if news organizations ran stories on baseless whacked out conservative bloggers about Obama being a Muslim or some other rumor, then did nothing to correct it. Journalism died in 2008.
she's a clown...it's the media's fault that she cant conduct an intelligent conversation with the media? she is clueless....i dont like her...but i do like her because watching her bury herself all the time is priceless!!!
Just for the record, I saw the interview that was on last night, and Sarah Palin was using the conditional future tense in her comments. I'd like to know how long ago her comments were made.
When will she stop? Does she not recognize the fact that Governors can be appointed and that being being a Governor is not the next in line to the Presidency? Although, in her little mind she thought that was really gonna happen', ya betcha! Of course she was under the microscope, America didn't know her and for her to keep whinning that she was looked at intensely by the media is just moronic. Thank god she was. Go away Sarah, you had your 15 minutes, we know you are addicted to the hype, but you got it as good as it's gonna get already. Oh, and that little thing about Trig, just show the hospital birth certificate and records and that whole thing is over--it's pretty simple.
Palin is the bag of crap liar, not the media. What an ignorant fool.
salacious? Sarah, which newespaper did you read that in? Oh...All of them? Like the child who constantly watches what all the other kids have, Palin talks about responsibility for her own actions, but when her actions cause press reports that she does not like, she cries foul.
Perhaps if she actually HAD read some newspapers and magazines up there she could have 1) answered Katie Couric's question intelligently, and 2) seen that this is the way the world is outside the microcosm called Wasilla!
GROW UP SARAH PALIN!!!
Sarah,
In the words of Jay-Z: Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it!
College, experience, motherhood, etc. All of this is irrelevant. I seek certain things from my leaders. I want someone who is honest with me and themselves. I want someone who is intelligent enough to understand what is going on around them, and able to use that information to make decisions. I want someone who knows when they need outside help on something and is a good enough judge of character and ability to find the right person. And, I want someone who represents me and my country in a positive manner that reflects the needs of the population. Sarah Palin does not fit those needs. Her extremely conservative views do not reflect the diverse population she wishes to speak for, and the words she spouts off only go to serve her purpose of power and self-promotion. The inability to deal with "gotcha" politics only shows her inability to react when necessary, and that is no trait of a leader.
For people that don't like Sarah, you certainly can't seem to get enough of her. You keep reading everything you can about her. What's your problem. Don't like her....stop reading and commenting about her. Simple.
And also..we are a team of marvericks!!, And also.. we are a team of marvericks!!. What nonsense. Now Palin knows that no one is paying her any attention (except the media) and so she wants to compare herself with real and accomplished people like Caroline Kennedy. What a loser Palin is. And you fools from the media, please do the American people a favor by not paying attention to this loser.
She's had her 15 minutes of fame. She's no longer newsworthy. She's a nobody. Move on.
Let's see...innuendo, misleading reporting, “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”, "personal, salacious nature " of reporting, lies...do these all sound familiar?
What goes around, comes around, little Miss Sarah
Hopefully you'll fade away and not hijack the GOP to your anti-intellectualism.
Hint, start reading some books & stop blaming everyone for your failures. They are all yours.
If I was Sarah Palin I wouldn’t bring up Caroline Kennedy except in my dreams. Why would this so-called soccer mom who has about the most damaged family values I’ve ever heard about, an ignorant woman with grand ambition, want to remind us that Ms. Kennedy is an educated and articulate person from a very distinguished family, and that she buys her own clothes? Ms. Palin didn’t seem to have any problem fitting right in with the Republican habit of lying and then repeating it every chance she had to smear President-elect Obama.
I hope the people of Alaska show this critter the door at the next election, but on second thought maybe letting her run again will just about wreck the wretched GOP. That would be worth waiting for. No, but seriously folks, can’t we just put her in the Hollywood museum of bimbos?
When a Birth Certificate naming Bristol as Trig's mother is produced.....THEN and ONLY then......should the Media stop talking about this.
If this "switch" of Trig, from being Bristol's to be Sarah's baby, actually took place....with all the lying, planning and scheming that would have had to have gone along with this......it is important that the Voters know what type of a person they are counting on to run our Country.
Here we go again, Sarah reporting from Base Camp of her Own Lttle World which exists only in her Own Little Head.
Can't she see that she brought this on herself? If she wanted to cut the rumors about the infant, all she had to do was release her medical records. She wouldn't do it. She was the one who dragged the kids into this.
And the Caroline Kennedy comparison was laughable. Caroline got plenty of jabs in the press. She just knew when to keep quiet. Sarah can't keep her big mouth shut and she gets herself in trouble. She refuses to learn from her own mistakes. It's everyone else's fault.
What a complete moron – it becomes more and more clear every time she opens her mouth!
Think Shaggy, if it weren't for affirmative action, Palin would be a stay-at-home mom and a part-time sports reporter in Alaska.
And why does she keep talking about "If Obama had chosen me, they would have loved me." Huh? Those of us who respect and trust Hillary Clinton's expertise and experience would have just fallen in line behind you? Is she serious? Deluded? Insane?
Can't she just quietly go away like McCain????
This Woman is a joke. The Media scrutiny is not exclusive to her or to Republicans. Barack Obama's family, or he for that matter, was not off limits to them at all. Does she not recall what was made about some of Michelle Obama's comments, or Reverend Wright, or Obama being a Muslim, etc., etc., ? And She and the McCain campaign were the worst. She has such a double standard. She want's the media and Democrats to treat her with respect, while she trashes everyone she wants. ( What was that about Barack Obama being a "Socialist, and paling around with Terroists?) LOL
I think it is completely disgusting that many of you are so hateful that you are able to attack a woman's children and her intelligence. Of course she didnt make the best showing and probably wasnt the best choice for John McCain but is it necessary to insult the choices she makes within her own family (I am sure you all have made all of the right choices in that arena)? All this woman has done is climb the ladder of politics because she didnt like the way things were, it is so wrong that she wanted to actually do something to change them? I guess she could have sat at home and blogged on her computer about it..
Furthermore, the reason she is still in the media is because YOU ALL keep her there. People continue to talk about her, her children, her mistakes... maybe if you and the liberal media would leave her alone she would not feel the need to defend herself. Grow up and have some respect for yourselves and others... it is the only way this country will survive..
Go away, Sarah. We are done with incompetent people in the White House.
I'm no Palin fan, but leave her kid alone. No one gets hurt with these accusations except for Trig.
The koolaid drinkers on this forum are probably the same goobers who thought it was ok for the state of Ohio to attack Joe the plumber on a personal basis. LMAO I bet you cry real tears over those poor misunderstood terrorists at Gitmo while you rip into whoever the media tells you is bad...
This woman can't help herself. She is absolutely single minded in cementing herself as American's Top Dumb AND Dumber. She will never let the world forget she is a hollow, shallow, pathetic, sorry excuse, ridiculuous, idiotic joke who entertained us as a full blown clown until she and McCain lost the election. She still doesn't get it. She still doesn't understand that millions voted against her did so because she is utterly, hopelessly, awful and we want her to go away. Clueless. Stupid, clueless, impertinent woman.
To label Palin as a fascist would be giving her credit for intelligence she does not have. Hopefully, she will slither away and soon.
I don't blame Sarah Palin one bit, the media were terrible to her ! The media and all the reporters who write stuff about people should be ashamed of themselves! From movie stars, to politicians, to every day people! They are very hurtful and tacky !!!!
The media sucks!
CNN loves Palin, it seems. No excuse is too trivial for CNN to do a story on her.
Get a life CNN...
I am glad they wont let this story die. If Trig is her daughter's, and not hers, then she has perpetrated public fraud on the nation. As such, she should be held accountable. If she wants the matter to go away, a simple paternity test will solve it all.
Conservatives keep saying "where's Obama's birth certificate?" so why not a little "where's Trig's paternity test?"
Shaggy,
If you can honestly say that Obama is stupid - then please tell me who is SMART? Obama is one of the most intelligient men that I have seen AND he is both well-spoken, gracious to boot. You might not like his policies - but come on, at least be able to admit that he is smart. Or you will lead me to believe that you are not!
Palin plays a fair game!! She has been hurt deeply by all of the ugly remarks made by the media as well as blogs, could you not only give her life back and leave her alone until the next election? Her family business is hers alone, nobody has the right to tear her apart. As for her son Trig it is a disgrace for you to pick on a child with special needs or not, how would you feel about that? Kennedy will win only by her family name, why don't you think she uses her married name, she ashamed that nobody will know who she is, the media is truly treating her with kid gloves for the senate seat, this is the way of our society, win by name and not your merits. Palin is a very caring lady, who loves her family and will protect them no matter what it takes. Did you know that (kid) is a goat=for all you city people that are not educated enough to know that.
Joking aside, she was on a path for high office before she was asked to run for VP. However, she would have needed to dedicate herself to issues pertaining to the US economy, the world economy, and foreign policy before she was a credible candidate. I fear she would have impatiently sought the presidency before she acquired all of these requisite skills to make a credible run for the office. In my view, Sarah Palin won't be ready to run for president until at least 2016. Of course, she'll run in 2012 and fall flat on her face.
Is this not the same woman that called Hillary a whiner for not standing up to the media? Is this not the same Sarah Palin that called Obama a terrorist and his campaign started with terrorists? Hypocrites, brood of vipers and evil men will get their turn. It's your turn now Sarah so deal with it you hypocrite. I can't believe the republicans almost elected you as VP, boy, we didn't just miss a bullet, we missed an Intercontinental Alaska Ballistic Nuclear equipped warhead coming right at the whole world. Phew!
Hey Proud American-
Go back under the rock from which you came. I'm so sick and tired of your insensitive, immature, unintelligent, and downright nasty opinions. Proud American? You are pathetic.
she needs to keep a blackberry to keep in touch! obviously she doesn't realize this is old news from september 2008
This lady complains about refusal to correct obvious mistakes? The lady who repeated obvious lies at every campaign stop? What a hypocrite!
Palin, here's a hint Idiot, Keep you mouth shut in front of the Media and they won't know what a complete Lying Idiot you Are!!!!!! Case Solved!!!!!
I am surprised by the amount of people here who say that Gov. Palin "has had her 15 minutes of fame and we should move on" or that people should just forget about her. She is still Gov. of Alaska, has great name recognition, a dedicated following in the Republican party, and might run for the Alaska Senate seat in 2010. She is going to be around for a long time, her opinion and statements matter and are news, even if you or I don't like them.
And so much for her preaching of abstinence and family values.
Why are we still talking about this moron? Media – you can do better! Please let her Rest In Peace.
Time to get out of the kitchen.
So if Tina Fey "exploited" her, how come she appeared on SNL?
Who cares about her. A bleep on the past. I wish the news would stop giving her any limelight. She does not deserve it.
Palin raises a concern that has already led to a new documentary film coming out in the end of February. Numerous women's groups and other organizations fed up with the far left media are now closely following the media as watchdogs. There is a wave of revolt coming and the media in the future will be held to a standard of responsible journalism or they will no longer exist–The New York Times for one as well as magazines as newsweek and networks that produce interviews bent solely to raise ratings as that of Katie Couric. Times are changing because the American public has had enough and now know that through the blogasphere there is much power.
GO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN.............
Seriously, it's time to start wondering ... WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN???
Is she an egomaniac who got a taste for the real world & just can't let go?
Is she dumber than we thought & she just doesn't realize that people want her to go away?
Every time she opens her mouth like this she alienates herself ever more from the mainstream. She is like watching a slow motion train wreck ... only better!
I'm confused...Palin wasn't this unhappy when she used the media to spred lies and character smears about Obama,"palls around with terrorists". Palin should now be more sympathetic about the huge lie that was spread around and partially believed about Obama being a Muslim . Palin was clueless about a variety of issues and took the far right's view on most others, and for this portrayal by some of the press, I am grateful.
Given her post-election interviews, I am surprised the Governor Palin would admit to have done anything at all. She has taken no responsibility for her lack of knowledge, inability to piece together coherent sentences, incendiary comments or standing idly by while fowl were being killed. Her stands are only comparable to those being taken by the Illinois Governor. They did no wrong and it's all someone else's fault. I guess the comparison is valid since she, too, was cited for abuse of power by her own legislature.
Its pretty pathetic and reflects badly on her when she blames the media for comments that came out of her *own* mouth!!!! what a huge EGO!!!She * loves* to be in front of the camera!
maybe she should have been a model or an actress
Go educate yourself before you decide to become a senator or God forgive president
Sarah, I also think you were under a microscope because we never heard of you and who is this woman who could possibly be the President if something were to happen to McCain. We had every right to find out who the heck you were. If you didn't hide behind your party in the beginning, maybe things could have turned out a bit different....but only for awhile since once you did come out of hiding well....we found out that God Forbid, something happened to McCain we would....I can't finish, It still scares the heck out of me just to think about it.
Sarah, you were never right for the job and you should have seen the real reason behind it all and said, " How nice of you to ask, but I am clearly not ready. Maybe I will get my self ready for 2012. Come back then, thank you. "
Conseratives amaze me. "The media put Obama in office" Get real. Please wake up and realize some of us do think for ourselves.
Take the loss like a man. Stop blaming everybody else because your plan didn't work.
BTW...God doesn't govern by law. He governs with love because He is Love! He wants people to obey Him because they love Him not because someone made it a law.
A Christian that is happy Obama is taking office on Jan. 20th!!
this isn't news. seems to me like she's just trying to stir things up and keep her name in the news. she's history and has no future on the national scene for the republican party.
OMG; like she is the ONLY ONE and this is new media behavior invented JUST FOR HER! Every time she does an interview, she just buries herself deeper and deeper and proves more and more how she is certainly NOT going to be the next Republican pick. That is one of the most hilarious notions I have heard EVER!!!
Someone needs to tell this stupid woman that she's on minute 15,000 of her 15 minutes. I have no pity for her. She was, after all, a journalism major in college, and she worked in the media. One would think that she, above all the other politicians would know how to handle the media. That she couldn't just goes to show how badly she sucked.
If Sarah Palin wants for the bloggers to stop questioning Trig's birth she should release her medical records, LIKE SHE SAID SHE WOULD. Wouldn't that clear up the entire question did she give birth to Trig?
This pathological whining is her way of staying in the news. She must believe that news is better than no news; people will know her name and perhaps forget her whining later on? Okay. But what about her lack of intelligence? Will we forget that later on? The woman cannot string together a sensible sentence. Even yesterday's "via me" had me shaking my head.
shaggy- you're stupid.
The best damage control for her would be to shut her mouth and go away for awhile.
Time for the credits to roll and Iris Dement's " Our town" to play...........it's the final episode of Sarah's Excellent Adventure.
What did Palin think running for President would be like? it's brutal, unfair, biased, very difficult, and very unpleasant. This is not like running for Beauty Queen. As Pres. Truman said, "If you can't stand the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen." Gore lost, unfairly and kept his dignity. Kerry was battered, lost and kept his diginity. McCain lost and kept his dignity. This is how people of character react to defeat. Losing, in and of itself, is not a bad thing.
Governor Palin is her our worst enemy
Regroup
Governor your state and if viable throw your hat in for 2012
Worry less about the media
Will somebody please shut her up? She blames everyone but herself for the stupid remarks she has made...no one made her look stupid but herself. Get over yourself, Palin. Enough already. Go kill some innocent animals. That's what you're good at.
WHat is truly amazing is the power that this woman still has over the hardcore liberals who post on CNN.com hourly. This woman has the ability to drive you crazy and i think it is utterly hilarious. You defend racist, anti-semites like rev Jeremiah Wright yet you seek to destroy this woman who has done nothing wrong but seek to serve the public in higher office. That is the hypocrisy of the Left
It amazes me how stupid and ignorant Sarah Palin is. She had no problem attacking Obama ("paling around with terrorists"); she said nothing when ignorant racists shouted "kill him and lynch him") at her klan (oops I mean political) rallies; she had no problem putting millions of Americans down ("small town people are real Americans"). Now she's whining again about the media being unfair to her. She put herself out there. Every time she starts whining and complaining, she's putting herself out there. I have no pity whatsoever for this woman. No, she doesn't have to "just go away." The more she speaks, the dumber she sounds. Keep it up, Sarah. You only prove more and more why you were not qualified to run for V.P. let along be V.P. and thank goodness America did not vote for you.
Here we go again when is Sarah Palin going to go away and stay quiet in Alaska in the kitchen cooking and shooting moose, next we should see her hosting her own Jerry Springer Family show. Big time tv.!!!lol.
Shut Up! It's over, you are over, and no one cares! I can't stand hearing about you anymore. You are a disgrace to motherhood. I think this was a first for a woman to internationally exploit not only her newborn but also her teenage daughter. Shut up! Go away! You are a hypocite! Please go home and care for your children.
Isn't this the woman who said women undermine themselves when they whine about unfair treatment? Maybe someone could explain why asking what sort of newspapers, magazines, books, etc. she reads is such a hardball question. I'm sorry but that's what I call fluff!
I couldn't help but laugh at her comment about the "special treatment" Caroline Kennedy has received. Every media outlet has ridiculed Kennedy's "ya knows" and questioned her qualifications.
What's with Fox News though? First, Greta moves in with Palin for a week of interviews. Now, they have a documentary and she's the subject of every O'Reilly show I've seen. Are they the All-Palin-All-the-Time-Network now?
Gov. Palin was fun. I hope she runs for president in 2012. She is not very smart, not well read at all, not very articulate, not a gifted administrator, and not particularly qualified to do anything that I can think of. She is mean-spirited and she talks with a forked tongue. She accuses people of being a socialist when I am willing to bet the rent money that she cannot define socialism. She has memorized a few buzz phrases.
She is a highly qualified spokesperson for modern American Conservatism. I hope she leads the Conservative cause to its destruction.
You're right, Sarah! I CAN'T believe that I'm still having to see you in the media! Go away, Ding-bat!
I wonder who wrote these comments for the guv. They certainly are not mangled like her verbal statements...
I guess it's only ok. when it's Carl Rove's goons going after a Dem.
I. M. P. E. A. C. H. obama and appoint Palin. She is smarter and more experienced. If you dont stop being a sexist you would know this as truth.
Hey steve Obama did hang out with terrorists. Know your facts before you speak.
Its a no brainer to read who is actually writing this 'hate' stuff on Gov. Palin. Most are under 18 yrs old, and can't even vote. Ask them where Alaska is on the map and they wouldn't even be able to find it. Ask them if its a state and most wouldn't even know. Ask them where they work, and most would say "McDonalds, or Wal-Mart". These haters are so brain washed by the liberal media that its scarey to think they can't actually read and think for themselves. Sad...
She and Joe the Plumber both got a taste of notoriety (not fame) and can't give it up.
Was it the Media that choose to place her in front of a bloody turkey slaughtering at Thanksgivivng? No-it was Sarah-grinning the whole time! The woman is MENTAL! It freaks me out to think how many Americans voted to have her a heartbeat away from holding the most powerful position in the world. The woman has a serious MIxed Personality Disorder, not to mention-she is not too bright.
Typical conservative, just blame the liberal press for all of their stupidity when it is really their own actions.
Is Bristol doing interviews, press releases and statements? Is she doing photo shoots for the media? Is her no good, no count, shiftless fiance's drug-dealing mother going out and talking about her? Then she is part of the machine. Either tell her to shut up and get out of the circus or deal with the consequences, positive or negative.
End of story.
Does anyone really care??? This woman was a poor choice for vice-president and her team lost. She is back in Alaska where she should attempt to govern the state. Palin is one of those people who thrives on publicity - even negative publicity! At least McCain accepted his loss with dignity. Please.... can we have news that is important to our lives.
So why did she go on Saturday Night LIve?
And so is marc.
Let it be clearly understood: I am not a Palin supporter, however, I think the comments being delivered here goes beyond the pale. Also, it may be a good idea, before commenting on Palin's intelligence, vocabulary etc. that people check their grammar, spelling and not abuse the English language in such a public forum.
Sarah, time to shut up, go home, and stay home. But please do come back in 2012 to lead what's left of your party into permanent oblivion.
Dear Sarah,
It's great to hear you putting entire sentences together now. Your 'Hooked On Phonics' lessons really seem to be paying off! Now please go practice somewhere else.
Regards,
Bob
Bless her heart
After just reading some of these comments, do you really think it's Sarah who is dumb? CNN should require at least a GED in order to comment.
I can't stand barack obama
Martin January 9th, 2009 12:27 pm ET
Is this the same woman that falsely accused Barack Obama of palling around with terrorists?
Ummm, he did. Remember Bill Ayers. Oh yeah, and racist scum, remember Rev. Wright.
You guys have no memory of the dirt this guy's hung out with and will continue to hang with. And noe the new change is really just re-tread clintonites, with a bush pushover thrown in for calmiong effect.
WE SHALL SEE WHAT THE PROMISED ONE CAN DUE!! Make excuses and play the blame game. just watch.
This woman is such a hypocrite! I thank the Lord above for seeing to it that the "Mavericks" did not win on election day.
This lady doesn't get it. She is easy picking for the media and she continues to respond to 3 month old issues. Any good pol knows that today's news is tomorrow's trash. Enough already.
And she thinks she has some other national aspirations and she blames and trashes the media for her problems.
It truly demonstrates her contiuned rookie behavior.
Allow disruptions to deepen your concentration, now go away and stay in Alaska.
Wow, lies and made-up unfacts during a presidential campaign. Say it isn't true. If I had a Swiftboat for every time that happened...
To Bubba:
No, that is a falacy that down's babies are born more often to older moms. Actually MOST down's babies are born to younger moms. Do your homework. The reason this is the case is because most babies are born to younger moms.
From a health care professional
what part of go away don't Palin and Joe the joker understand?
WAH WAH WAH!! Does this woman ever take any responsibility for her actions? Seems like everything bad that is said about her is someone else's fault in her little brain.
Wow, what a hate site this is. It's sad to see that the attacks against her continue. People just can't handle a smart and beautiful woman. I aplaud Gov. Palin. Yes, Govenor Palin. She has more experience that Obama will ever have. I won't attack Obama like some of these folks here do. That is the problem with most liberals, there are mean. I hope to see lots of Palin in the future. Remember folks, Mr. Clinton is a real OKIE. We must not forget his folksie language during his first campaign, but liberals do...some how, oral sex is not sex, I did not have sex with that woman! Yeah right, he should have been impeached and gone to prison. enough said.
Her reactions are just another expample of her small – town mentality that is best left where she is at. I betcha Mcain realized his mistake early on. Don't we have enough real issues to discuss, economy, war, etc ? caused by the failed party Palin represented.
Colorado Mom
As someone who lives in the State of Alaska I actually can say she's right this time. I am not one to defend her, but when Obama said "lay off my kids" the media did, at least to a certain extent. When the candidates said "lay off our families" the media did...except for with her. They did not scrutinize Michelle nearly as hard as they did Sarah. It is unfortunate that this appears to be true as for the most part..she wasn't misunderstood..most of her comments were as snarky and immature as they sounded and she was grossly underqualified for the job. The media lost a lot of credibility when they pushed the "Trig isn't hers" story..and they lost even more when they chose to focus on her wardrobe. She's right..Caroline will not be put under the microscope like she was..and her motives won't be questioned. I don't believe that Sarah had ulterior motives or that she was even dishonest..infact she probably called it like she "saw it" as it were and decided to just be herself...whether we liked "herself" came out in the election results I think
Attention, I am not the 'Marc' of the 12:30 post.
Shaggy – January 9th, 2009 12:26 pm ET
Your comment is so ridiculous and racist that I almost have pity of you. Almost. Barak Obama was a professor in Harvard, can anyone achieve it with just 'affirmative action'? Nope, just with MERIT.
Last Honest Man – January 9th, 2009 12:25 pm ET
Get over it, it wasn't brainwashing. Its name is election. McCain lost, Obama won. All the stories about Sarah Palin are caused by her and her press calls, interview and positions. And since she lacks coherence and respect to easily verified facts, like her real positions in that 'Bridge to Nowhere' story, she gets what she deserves from serious journalists.
She has a point.
Just remember Marc,
George Washington was a Liberal..........
Oh yeah, the best thing for the Dems is for Sarah to be there in 2012.........2016, 2020 and keep on. It is also good for stick.
Ok if you want the "media" debunking rumors like the one that claims that Trig was your grand daughter not daughter you need to
release your medical records (as you said you will) and present a birth certificate for Trig, or at the very least allow the hospital to publish the birth announcement as they do for most parents! (unless specifically asked not to). Until you do that there will always be the suspicion that you lied big time on this for political reasons.-
But I know what you are trying to do- Attack is the best defense- you dread the possibility that a real reporter actually will get to the bottom of this scandal- Simply put there is allot of smoke and only openness on your part can clear the air- Release the birth certificate and hospital records! I dare you! and until than just be hush.
You left wingers are sure skeeeeered of Palin. The democratic party is so scared of her and I always thought the democratic party was the inclusive party. She is gonna smoke the dems in 4 years and you are all scared.
please, no more reporting on Palin..The national news doesn't need to report her whining..she just needs to govern Alaska. At least they might be able to understand what she is saying
Sarah -
I AGREE with YOU.
It is not only happening to politicians that are not part of the arrogant and misguided elite that owns the press and other forms of communication, it is also happening at our academic institutions where often tey teach not only wrong information, but MALICIOUSLY wrong information.
Why should Ms. Palin be penalized for saying that Obama pals with terrorists when IT IS THE TRUTH.
She is great to look at ....wish she'd keep her mouth shut......
Election to the VP position is being compared to nomination to a Senate seat! There is no comparison between Kennedy and PALIN.
Me thinks that thou doest protest too loudly.
Could someone please euthanize this moose?
Your 15 minutes are up....please leave the rest of us alone. No one cares what you think, or what you do. You are not relevant at all. You are just a hate-mongering, racist, homophobic anti-American has been. Please go away. You and your whole family.
Can we be finished with this woman? Please??
And who is making this news again? Everybody's fault but her own...
What a shame.
Listen up, all you critics. Why are you holding Sarah to standards that you do not hold everyone else up to. Clean out your own backyard before you clean out everyone elses. Lets put you under that much scrutiny and see how well you do. Yes she is the governer of Alaska, that puts her in the public eye, however keep your comments to her governing, not her personal life. Yes blogs are great and it's a free country, however when you make statements that are insults you come across as being in junior high school and are jealous of the popular girl so you are making fun of her. Doing so makes you look childish. Why not blog with respect for yourself.
Funny thing this Sarah Palin attacking the media and SNL all of a sudden. She thought it was great when there was a plausible chance of her becoming the VP. Did she correct the media when they Americans that Barack Obama was a Muslim???? Not in all cases, and in fact there was probably a good chance that she and her advisers wanted to exploit the false media on her opponents (not a shocker folks since she is a politician). Now I hear that she is upset with SNL's Tina Fey for exploiting her popularity or making comments that were not regarded as appropriate in her mind. Well Mrs. Palin, if you felt that way you should have never been on that show in the first place right? Or were you hoping to make strides by using the media, like SNL, to boost your election chances? Is anyone else thinking hypocrite here?
You liberals are fools. Obama won because he had a ton more money to spend than McCain. The media kissed up to him because they wanted the advertising dollars. Everything in America is about MONEY. WAke up SHEEP.
MORE PALIN, PLEASE!
Linda Lee January 9th, 2009 12:20 pm ET
Hooray Sarah!!!!!!!! Go get 'em girl!! You have much to offer the US, much to offer women in particular. I am in full agreement with you and support you 100%….as do thousands of Americans.
----------------------------
"Thousands" of votes don't win presidential elections. Thank god. This loser couldn't even win the Miss Alaska pageant.
Well, I don't care whose kid it is or what's going on in Alaska. Just save the wildlife. However, if you watch behavior as I do...everyone in that family seems disconnected when they hold Trig. The only one that holds him lovingly is Bristol (maybe because she was preggers). But who cares anyway. All things done in the dark will show in the light sooner or later
So why didn't she say this when she was running for VP? It's late to be complaining now. AND the reason that she was "pick on" by the media is because she appeared to many Americans as a new face. Most people already know who Caroline Kennedy is, and what she has done. Sorry, Gov. Palin, bit I don't think its fair to blame others for your mistakes....
Sorry Sarah, but when you speak with pointed words, they tend to come back to you in the same way. And besides, You were a candidate for Vice President, which warrants a higher level of scrutiny.
I would like to see you in Penthouse though...................

Gina, Baltimore, MD – I agree with you. While I would never vote for Palin, there is no reason for people to keep making the same posts over and over every time an article about her comes out. It's stooping to the level of the other party. One more point – Down Syndrome is extraordinarily rare in babies born to women under 40 and especially in teenagers and young women – Trig is hers. And even if he isn't, so what? Let's move on, dems!
Hellooooooo earth to Sarah the campaign is over.
We have elected a President and a Vice President months ago. As a matter of fact we've even about to have them inaugurated.
You need to wake up now. It's over. Stop living in the past 2008 is over it's now 2009 you need to get with the time.
This is a woman who couldn't name a daily newspaper she read with any regularity.
This is a woman who couldn't answer the question, when posed, that how come she didn't show her pregnancy nor reveal it to most people at the time, then took maternity leave and returned to work three days after the birth? You create your own intrigue, especially when you refuse to produce a medical record or report that would confirm the pregnancy/birth.
This is a woman who used the cutesy-two shoes approach and got called on it.
This is a woman who has a bachelor's degree in journalism (from an unaccredited school), but yet she has no clue as to how journalism works?!
This is a woman who preached family values, yet her 18-year-old daughter is pregnant out-of-wedlock?!
This is a woman whose potential son-in-law had to quit his job because he didn't have the basic qualification to be an apprentice – a high school diploma, yet she wants us to back-off?!
This is the same woman who claimed Obama had no management experience nor experience running a business? McCain has what in this regard, and don't count the 5-1/2 years as concierge at the Hanoi Hilton, either, except the VP position Cindy's family handed him?!.
And, finally, this is the same woman that McCain recently admitted he couldn't endorse for president? I have a flash for this woman, the mean, old, white men of the GOP will deal with her on their timetable, if it becomes necessary, so who will she blame then? I hope she makes it, because watching her having to face down Obama in a debate will be hilarious!!! She'll make Bush look like a mensa!
Ugh.. If you cant stand the heat – stay out of hte kitchen...
Palin/Joe the Whatever: 2012.
Please.
Gosh-Darn-it Sara just go away, You-becha.
Personal to marc:
Bush went to two Ivy League schools, too; see how good that was?!
LAST HONEST MAN,
I was not brainwashed into voting for Obama. In fact, Palin with her anti-America rants and her "Obama is a terrorist/Muslim/non-American" speech of the day did more to put him in office than any MSM outlet did.
If you were not brainwashed by the smirks of GWB and the winks of Palin, you might see that your current President is a traitor and guilty of war crimes. You might try reading the piece in "Vanity Fair" that interviewed many members of his staff and see what went on behind our backs. Frightening stuff-they believe that they rule the world, meanwhile they brought down Fannie and Freddie, encouraged torture, tapped all our phones without warrant, and all in the name of "security." Whose? Haliburton execs? Oil magnates? Talk to the 4000 plus parents of dead GIs, and the thousands more who are returning injured, depressed, and damaged for life. See how secure they feel right now.
Talk to my brother, who just built a beautiful home on his own, and then lost his job.
Talk to my neighbor, who lost her home when her hours were cut and benefits dropped.
Bush and company are continuing their little fascist agenda right to the end-allowing drilling in the Grand Canyon on one hand, and preserving a tiny piece of ocean with the other. They are liars and crooks! Not Obama.
To Noden: You are a lying, hate filled liberal. The vicious things you say about Palin speak volumes about your flawed charachter. Cheer up- moron, your candidate won the election due to white guilt and ignorant minorities who follow lock step with their crowd. It's amazing how you liberals use the minorities to win elections. You are all so pathetic. Please leave this great country and take your hatred for it with you.
Sarah Palin is the focus of the media, why? because she's a great person and an honorable politician. let's not forget, the media only goes after those that draw the most attention!!
She sounds like my kids; "it's not my fault, they're picking on me".
Today's media will investigate every nook and cranny. What she doesn't seem to realize is she created most of he "perceived" problem herself. Scary to think she could have been our VP. She seems to think she would have been treated better if she had been the Dems VP choice, it's obvious she's completely out of touch with reality.
I am a constitutionalist. Not a democrat nor republican.
This is about "truth". Something most of you people here do not know what it is, understand or relate to. Without truth we have nothing. Without people who seek the truth, speak the truth....we have nothing. Most of what I have read here is simply small-mindedness and lacks truth.
So this is the "new era of change" we can expect. Face it, the left wing reporting and the hate from the people who support Obama is going to be Obama's greatest challenge to any efforts in united the country. I didn't support Obama for this kind of garbage.
Leave the kids out of it, stick to the issues.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, GO AWAY!!!!!!
How about if everybody just lashes out at Sara.
Would she go away then?
What an idiot.
I was wondering how the media was going to keep busy...
Personal to Shaggy:
Thanks for the input from the Stupid Society!!!
TYPICAL HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!!!
No one cares what she has to say. It's all a plan on her part to stay in the media and it's working. CNN and the rest of the media folks should stop paying attention to her.
Honestly, I really don't want to hear from this woman ever again. Suffering with her for three months was more than I could bear. She is so self-absorbed that everything revolves around her. You would think that nothing nasty was ever said or claimed about the Obamas, especially from her good friends in loopy right-wing circles.
Seriously...will this woman ever go away? She has an excuse for everything. When she stands up and takes responsibility for her own actions, maybe I'll have a shred of respect for her. However, her time is up and she needs to just disappear.
Sarah Palin is right. Media coverage is based on democrat ideals who broker with advertizing, and darn it, Obama had what they like most, CASH. If this country is going to start on the road to recovery, the media better start behaving like they do business in America, or do they really want us to go down the sewers?
As I was reading through the comments left on this article I noticed that some people support sarah palin and think that the media bias is what made her look ignorant.. I think most people were able to put aside the ever so popular new stories about her personal life dramas and whatch her speeches or interviews where she made herself look ignorant all by her self. The media just made sure everyone was able to catch a glimpse. She was not qualified, end of story.
McCain/Palin – Best joke of 2008
I hope she never goes away. She should have her own reality show. That would be cooler than the Ozbounes. I would watch it every week. Run Levi, Run!! Get away while you still can.
Move on Liberal Media and all. Leave Govenor Palin alone already. Its over. Leave her and her family alone. MOVE ON.........Why not talk about Obama and his questionable character and is he a US citizen
Sarah Palin sounds like spoil brat. Why don't she go back to Alaska and be a mother. GOD help this lady. And clear her conscience.
CNN, by having her name appear so often it makes you look a cheap tabloid. She is not worth the time.
If the baby is hers rather than Bristol's, then her actions were comparable to trying to kill her child (refusing mediacl attention when her water broke, getting on a plane for several hours, making a connection, getting on a plane for several hours, again refusing to get medical attention, driving for an hour plus to a small medical clinic foregoing the larger medical facilities in the other locations). I would respect her more if she was lying in an attempt to protect her daughter. Maybe she still is lying by keeping up her story.
This woman is a nag.
I understand she thinks her reputation has been tainted but it would help her if she proved she had intelligence rather than try to explain away everything.
Gosh, I didn't know pitbulls could whine like this!
She'll bring up any subject to stay in the public eye, won't she?
Go away Sarah......or did own down-to-earth soccer mom
get a little addicted to the limelight?
Oh, and one last thought.........this is the same woman who accused Obama of being a terrorist simply because he was acquainted with one, yet Sarah and Todd are members of a secessionist group?!
And they don't deny it, either!!!
And she wants to be president of a country she wants to seceed from?!
I expected Sarah to understand the heavy scrutiny than anybody else.
Sarah you were heartbeat away to be a President. Very few people knew you before John McCain introduce you to us. We were all asking: Sarah who? Sarah who?.
We were obliged to know you. How intelligent you are. How much/far you know the world. Whether you are competent or not etc.etc. Infact the questions you got from some of the media were not sufficient.
If I were you, I would appreciate the scrutiny you got and not bashing the media. They were doing their job as you were seeking for one.
What is Palin talking about? Ms Kennedy has been under scrutiny her entire life from the time she was a small child. I wonder if Sarah Palin, who as a candidate for the vice presidency of the United States demonstrated ignorance of so many subjects, including what a vice president's duties are, has any idea who Caroline Kennedy is...or who Jack Kennedy was.
Amen, Sarah. The bulk of the media today has no credibility.
Seriously, does she have like a word limit she has to hit every day?? If she would shut her yapper the media would leave her alone. But since she has to release a statement every day; statements that make her look more and more ridiculous by the minute; the media eats it up! Look as a woman, I love to see women rise to power and achieve big. But if we are going to play with the big boys, we must expect to be knocked around a bit. And she is doing a disservice to ambitious women every where. I can hear men all over this country groaning about stupid whiny broads, and who will forevermore equate a woman running for office, with someone who couldn't find her @ss with a map!!
Shut up, just shut...up. Seriously. You hate the media so much then shut your mouth and they'll stop covering you. I didn't let it go this far during the elections though I truly disliked this woman. Now, I hate her. Although I disagree on much of the reublican philosophy, there are smart, intelligent republicans out there. She isn't one of them. She is a waste of space for any party, any team she is a part of and it's idiots like this that get beamed around the world and continue to perpetuate the the stigma of ignorance in US leadership that is held by many.
For the good of the nation, stop giving this hackneyed, two-bit, poor excuse for a republican, American and woman face time.
In reference to my previous comment; I deliberately included three grammatical errors. It will be interesting to note how many of the esteemed contributors identify them.
Why will this whining and silly woman not go away? No one is supposed to criticize her. No one is supposed to object if her kids break the rules (Levi's adventure with work). We are just to think she is wonderful and elect her to whatever. She needs to slink back into the obscurity from whence she came and shut up.
"Why does the media continue to give this Idiot a form. John McCain should be sued for this. Republicans should be given an I.Q. test before being allow to run for public office." – Proud American
More like brainwashed liberal American. This very comment alone details the hypocrisy of the liberal party and oozes of ignorance in itself. All republicans are stupid? Why because we don't agree with you? Who are the real "racists" of this country. To actually sit there on your high horses and tell half the country their stupid because we care about where this country is headed. Do us all favor, drink some more kool-aid, look in the mirror and look at the real "ignoramuses". You would have been proud to live in Germany during the late 1930's. All hail Obama!
Your Excellency; take the advice of an 86 year old retired USAF Sergeant and do what you have always done. Govern your state in the best manner you know how, and above all; consider the source of your tormentors and ignore them. You and most of the country know that you are doing an excellent job.
Excuse me Ms Palin, Obama was attacked that he was a terrorist,not American, that his wife was not American, he was hardly off limits from bad press. You were treated very fair by Katie Couric, so stop whininng. If you can't take it, don't dish it out. You said plenty about our New President.
Yes, the children are off limits but you are the one who chose to parade them around on stage.
I would say you are a cry baby and a sore loser.
You were not qualified, it is as simple as that and very clear to most Americans, including the press.
She thinks Obama has been getting too much attention – wow... wait until Inauguration Day comes.
Maybe she will be watching one of her Beauty Contest tapes during that time.
It is obvious this woman does not deal well with rejection.
I see so many negative things written about Sara Palin, and I really don't understand all of the animosity toward her. If you didn't want to vote the McCain/Palin ticket, WHATEVER, but stop the character slandering! Its way beyond "old"...
And, for God's sake, leave the children out of it!
The more she talks, the dumber she looks.
Wow, she is so right. I mean, take for instance the fact that Obama had a very insignificant relationship with a so called terrorist, and his house was on of hundreds that hosted an event for him. Some in the media described this as 'starting his career in the living room of a terrorist', or 'palling around with terrorits', resulting in certain moronic politicians following the media's lead and beleiving in this crap.
she is an idot and everytiem she opens her mouth she confirms this
If we all stopped responding to Palin's remarks, maybe she would leave the stage once and for all.
All the media did was roll tape. She did all the damage. And what's most hilarious is that the bulk of Tina Fey's act was only repeating what she said!
Palin should ignore both public and private sector people who have nothing better to do than play these silly little, "Please, somebody, ANYBODY, notice me!" games.
Such people fundamentally NVA's (No Value Adders) to our society and have transitioned into VD (Value Detractors).
John C. Aruzian
Hmmm...Ms. P, the next time you speak out in the press, here's what I want to know:
1. What's your position/solution on the current conflict in the Middle East?
2. What's your opinion on PE Obama's economic stimulus plan? Any ideas of your own?
3. Do you think Sanjay Gupta would make a good Surgeon General? If so, why? If not, whom would you recommend?
Get the picture? Talk about things of substance and maybe the press will take you seriously.
Just a tip!
Waa Waa WAAAAAAAA (tear dropping over her eye)
It is intellectually dishonest to claim there isn't a difference between how the media reports on Republicans verses Democrats. It is no surprise that Liberals are again intellectually lazy when it comes to getting ALL the facts, and not just listening to 10 second sound bites to form their political "positions". I use the word positions, because most Liberals have no core foundation of beliefs, just positions on the limited facts they hear from any unreliable sources.
Hey Sarah,
It doesn't sit well when people talk "falsehoods" about your person and family does it !! Hopefully in your next campaign (if there is one) you'd best to remember to deal only in FACTS and not fiction.
I don't know you personally but I can tell that if I ever met you I would tell you some FACTS regarding how to treat other fellow human beings. You had no business trashing and enticing HATE like you did during the General Elecion at your rallies just to win an election. You must be so proud to have the HATERS to be your only followers...I personally don't think your a very nice person and What Goes around Comes Around !! Repent and ask for Forgiveness, you know what you did was wrong but you repeatedly kept on doing it.
Sarah then make your medical recoreds clear to the world. Please explain to all of us how you been the gov who had never seeing any images/tv/photos of you expecting a baby a yr ago or so. Any female gov having a child is a HUGE NEWS YET there was not report, print or tv coverage of your pregnancy. Your daughter got more news that you as a gov. Any other female politician that is going to have a baby, famous or not, will get reel and newspapers story from the local media YET not a single 10 lines story on 'GOV PALIN EXPECTING HER NEXT CHILD." That is why folks dont believe that this baby is yours at all. Not even an announcement from your office or hospital after you had the baby. Not even a short brief of you gong IN-N-OUT of the hospital to have a child?
VERY SIMPLE YOU ARE THE GOV SO SHOWS US THE RECORDS OF YOUR LAST PREGNANCY.
AGAIN RELEASE ALL THE MEDICAL RECORDS OF YOUR PREGNANCY!
Although there might be some small relevance to her claims the real issue is her need to maintain her relevance with these infomercial interviews. The GOP has much better rising star's to give some hope to the party (Jindal, Perry, Huntsman, et al).......Sarah is trying to hang on to any last scrap of credibility before she is eclipse'd by real talent.
Dear Sarah,
Don't you have moose to shoot or a state to govern or something?
Gosh, you libs sure are tolerant and are clearly ushering in a new kind of politics.
hypocrites.
McFly, your fly is open.
I love her concern about “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.”
Funny, it didn't seem to bother her when she was accusing Obama of "palling around with terrorists."
She's so offended by these stories in the mainstream media that she's repeating them in the mainstream media so they create another story . . .
She's not too bright . . .
Dear Fellow Commentators,
The only way we will be freed from having to read any more of the inane and inconsequential rantings of SP (I can't even bear to type the name) is to stop commenting at all on the articles posted here. It's all old new and it wasn't really news when it was news.
I know I'm breaking my rule here, but I have resisted commenting on many articles in hopes she would go away. She hasn't and that's because she still gets hundreds of responses, so CNN will keep posting. If none of us respond (good or bad) then maybe the whole SP thing will go away once and for all.
Are you with me?!!!!!
She needs to go back to the Trailer Park ..!!
..where she belongs...!!!
Poor Sarah!! If you want to run with the big dogs. I think her
personal life is important to know about if she wants to be in the national picture, heaven only knows how much the people of Illinois should have known about Rod. If you would stop parading around like you want to be noticed and just go back to gutting moose almost everyone, including your own party, would greatly appreciate it. THANK YOU OBAMA/BIDEN!!!
Sarah who?
WIlliam : " I consider Sarah Palin to be a "Great American". She has risen to where she is on her own; not by the republican party, not by the wealthy with an adjenda, but on her own belief's and trying to make America a better place."
If she was a man or an unatractive woman, you never would have heard of this bimbo. She is a Bimbo in every sense of the word. She was elected mayor iif a tiny backwoods town with none of the responsibilties of a real mayor , simply on her "charm" nothing else. She is not qualified to run a daycare center let alone the country.
She just never shuts up, does she?
This proves how dumb you really are, Sarah. You want to blame everyone but yourself that you came across as the unqualified candidate that you were.
I don't have an opinion about her one way or the other, but I absolutely agree with her accusations about the media....there is no such thing as objective reporting anymore. If the media likes you, you'll come out smelling like a rose; if they don't like you, you'll be crucified.
sarah compalin that's all she does like she is a victim....she hides behind saying nothing and pitting americans against each other that's what the GOP is until they realize we are all americans
I can’t believe her! What was the press supposed to ask her? Name rank serial number she was running for the 2nd highest job in this country we had a right to know something about her other than lip stick on pit bulls. Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric did this nation a favor by exposing her before this country made another mistake with our leadership.
No, Sarah, it's the incompetent politicians that we don't believe.
Wasn't it Sarah Palin who was on TV saying that Hilary Clinton did a disservice to women when she complained about perceived unfair treatment of the media during the primaries? Sarah said something along the lines that women had to be strong....if they were going to be involved in politics, they needed to be able to handle the criticism? Seems she doesn't practice what she preaches.
SHAGGY MY DOG, I DO BELIEVE OBAMA KNOWS THE NAME OF THE NEWS PAPER HE READS, UNLIKE THE MORON SARA PALIN. HAHAHAHAH WOWOWOWO
To all of you "former republicans" posting here. You were NEVER republicans. You are tried and true democrats trying to convince people that you've switched partys. Gimme a freakin break. Most of you have the integrity of your democratic(soon to be thrown out of office) governor BLOWgovich.
I hope you all are relishing your 7 years of sfaety under President Bushs' watch. You surely aren't going to get it with Mr. Obama.He is more concerened with what the rest of the world "thinks" of America. How scary is that. Now go enjoy his billion$ inauguration festivities, you blind fools.
CNN why do you insist on keeping this woman on the political 'ticker"?
This has nothing to do with politics. Palin is now no better than Paris Hilton or any other idiot, no talent in the entertainment field.
Best to keep her there.
Or even better.... stop reporting about her all together.
Someone should have mentioned to her that Public Officials have to be, well, Acceptable to the public. What you say and how you say it is a big part of it.
She can dish it out, but she can't take it! All she did during the campaign was badmouth and malign the opposition. And since the campaign all she's done is whine!
@ Shaggy
Obama has a law degree from Harvard. I don't know too many stupid people with a degree from Harvard.
You must be reading Sarah's papers...
Sarah Palin, you were not elected to be the Vice President.
Oh, by the way, you were running for the 2nd most powerful position in the United States - the media has an obligation to investigate YOU.
Yet, you compare yourself to Caroline Kennedy ??
There is no comparison.
Caroline Kennedy is intelligent and you are not.
Why don't you go back to Alaska and do your job ??
You don't want to do your job ??
You should be impeached quickly then.
You, Joe the Plumber and Rod Blagojevich should all share the same cell together.
Shaggy January 9th, 2009 12:26 pm ET
Palin is stupid? What about Obama? If it weren't for affirmative action, he'd be a middle manager in a paper company. He wouldn't know a detail if it hit him in the head-
---------------------------
Palin is stupid and you are even dumber. Congrats to you, that is not an easy task!
I agree with Palin. Honestly, this is news? The media is out of control.
It's a good thing that the election is over... the MSM's vultures would have gotten pretty cold going through Palin's garbage this week. However, I am SO GLAD that we found out that her daughter's boyfriend's mom was arrested on drug charges. That's WAY WAY more interesting than any sort of investigation on Blagojevich/Emanuel/Obama and the "Hey, you wanna buy a seat?" vast right wing conspiracy.
Oh, I'm sorry. I was using dated catchphrases uttered during the Clinton administration. Please excuse my error, with all the Clinton retreads stocking the cabinet, you can understand my confusion. I was under the impression that change actually meant change. Good thing that fresh voices at the highest levels of power aren't necessary.
Poor NC Independent. Please understand that McCain plucked her from out of the wilderness and handed her a line of bull.... She obviously has plenty of free time to keep up this banter. It only confirms my belief that there isn't much to do in Alaska but have children.
This woman continually fails to realize the bounds of her hypocrisy.
If complaining is a sign of leadership then she will certainly be in the vanguard of RNC candidates in 2012.
wow. those of you whining about Palin...talk about calling the kettle black. get past the tip of your own nose, pull it out of your rhetoric behinds, and start paying attention to your own words. how can anyone take any one of you seriously when you don't take the time to correctly spell and put your thoughts on paper. remember what your mom told you when you were a kid? 'if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all?' it would do the bloggers on this list well to adhere to that note. it does you no good to post hate – how can we respect your comments when they come from such disrespectful people? oh yes – another adage comes to mind – 'don't like it, don't read it'
HA HA HA ..Someone here said Caroline Schlossberg is going for the senate seat to get experience. The job os Senator is a powerful and important job! So noone needs experience now?
Do we blame Palin for answering or CNN for calling? Maybe if the media stopped calling she wouldn't have a stump!
Two weeks ago this woman told CNN that she regrets not doing more interviews. Now she complains she had, had to do too many. This week the media is unfair... If she would just shutup and do her job as governor, the media won't have to listen. Yes I said have too. Her office is putting oil on the fire by putting these tidbits into to the media. For the few, and I repeat few nut cases defending her. Your not sounding very thoughful. But, I guess "birds of a feather flock together".
Her comment: “But the personal, salacious nature of recent reporting, and often the refusal of the media to correct obvious mistakes, unfortunately discredits too many in journalism today, making it difficult for many Americans to believe what they see in the media.”
is astonishing. Gee – I remember her doing the EXACT SAME THING up there on the MCShame/Palin campaign stump – trying HERSELF – in vain to connect Obama to Aires, Joe The "Plumber", etc, etc. Oh and such a big grown up word – salacious . yeah, we're so impressed.
Here's one to describe how I feel about you: fallacious
Nothing this woman says is of any importance or significance.
She's nothing more than yesterdays news in the trash, a bad P.R. trick
played by McCain that blew up in his face.
Can we move on please, finally.
I love the fact Sarah keeps trying to point at Caroline Kennedy. Sarah is basically saying she can't hold her own with the media, can't offer any original ideas, and can't come up with a compelling argument as to why she looked so bad in the media (all Katie Couric did was ask questions, you know). By pointing at Kennedy, Palin is dodging all that and saying, "Look over there! Look over there!"
I am thrilled that Sarah Palin continues to speak out about all things unfair-- "salacious" comments from the "liberal media", etc. Keep it up, Sarah. At this rate you will have NO audience when 2012 rolls around!
I Love her. Don't ask her to go away. Let's give her some incentive and plenty of audience. We need to keep her in focus and tied her even more to what GOP stands for. Nobody can be allowed to forget this woman. If she fades away, maybe a more eloquent, intelligent and sympathetic conservative figure will start building trust for GOP again, so please people – Sarah is good for business. She is the golden goose for the democrats and liberals. Keep giving Palin! We look to talk about you! We are all ears!
It appears that Gov. Palin will do anything to keep her name in the news. Nancy Boyda once said "Politics is a contact sport" and Gov. Palin should have known that. Not only that but given that she accepted the nomination knowing that her family would be under great scrutiny and put her own ambitions before her children (somehing she appears to have done her whole political career) – it is somewhat disingenous to know claim she was unfairly treated.
Hopefully someday soon she will just go back to being the Gov. of Alaska and leave the rest of us alone.
She's crying about bloggers now?
And she thinks she is ready to be VP.
What a clown.
If Pat Robertson was right when he said the 9/11 attacks were god's punishment for America's sinful ways, then I must conclude that Sarah Palin, John McCain, George W. and eight years of an inept and venal administration are god's punishment for so many of our fellow citizens having voted Republican. Let's make amends for that by banishing the GOP - and especially Sarah, who has repeatedly shown herself to be a narcissistic ninny - to many long years in the desert.
if she can't take the heat from her own country what is she going to do when she runs for office and the WORLD is giving her heat...
if she should be so honored..
she is a wash up fraud and anyone who looks to this women to lead us is just as ignorant as the people who think BUSH Jr did a good well done.
Wait a minute here...
yet when Mz. thing was screaming to the angry mob that Obama was a terrorist and the crowd's salivating ..."kill him"...
how utterly "stoopid" can she be...
Sarah... go and sit down... ENOUGH !!!!!!!!
If you don't want people to say things about you, don't open your mouth and say something stupid. Each time you speak, you're just giving the world more ammo.
Everybody just keep harping about Sarah Palin. That, you know, will keep people from, uh, you know, seeing how, you know, stupid I am and then, uh, well, you know, maybe I can, like, slip into a senate seat, so just, you know, keep picking on her.
I'm glad that, you know, most of you in here, like, have the same IQ that, uh, you know, I do. I'll, like, see you when, you know, I'm in, uh, the senate.
Just let her keep talking. She will gradually bury herself and distract her party's attention away from meaningful politics. If she keeps this up for a year or two we will finally know the whole truth about her. She's not just some Mavericky down-home politico. She's a lady with deep psychological problems and a screwed up family life. That she could have ever been considered for VP by a major political party is something that will be discussed for generations by political scientists and historians.
If she won't accept help it's sometimes best to just ignore the crazy lady who's muttering to herself in the back of the bus.
The woman cannot help but speak in run-on sentences. It is like reading the quotes of a woman speaking a foreign language. How can she have supporters?
Well Sarah. The chickens have come home to roost!. All the sharp
tongued comments you made about Obama are coming back to haunt you. Blow your nose and grow up. You jumped out there with your hotsie winking and thinking you were so clever now you find that you are just what you are...nothing more than a big mouth woman. Stay off the radar screen. We don't need you. Caroline Kennedy has the education by the way. What do you know? So you think the media is too soft on her. Don't tell me your mouth is going to start on her now!
Most of the hater comments here clearly indicate the effect of a biased media. So many sheep, so little time.
Oh, and "pal-ing around with terrorists" is a very close description of Obama's early relationship with Ayers and Dohrn. They were "friends" for political expediency if nothing else. This was a political "attack".
Attacks on Palin and her family were 99% personal and many were based on what was said on SNL, not the truth. Some of you here still question the birth mother of Trig Palin and that is not only out of line, it is stupid. Grow up and do your research.
I boycott products advertised on articles about Sarah Palin.
Shouldn't she be pretty busy helping her daughter adjust to life as a mother???
why did she not tell Katie Couric she did not want to answer that question if she felt it was demeaning. She clearly told the moderator at the VP debate that she was not gonna answer all the questions as expected. maybe because she was pre-programmed to say that but nobody gave her the answers to Katies questions.
Poor Poor Sarah–you know IT IS all about HER, wink wink. Shes a professional victim Couric had no business expecting lucid answers. Tina Fey was just plan evil to quote her on SNL, than mean McCain campaign making her get interviewed, that mean thing of expecting her "future" son in law to have the minimum requirements (although she didnt need them). What a mean mean world just think she could be calling Hamas mean or Putin mean or pushing the button against all those mean sexist men who are looking at her– where's my stylist???my clothes?? you mean mean people!!
Please stop all coverage of Sarah Palin. There is nothing in her life, work, or family worthy of reporting. Please focus instead on the important stories of the day, such as deaths in the Middle East, corruption in our own government, etc. Enough already.
You say the media elected Obama? Then why did they play all the hate rhetoric by the right wing OVER AND OVER?
And if Sarah admits she wasn't up to Katie Couric's interviews, she's admitting how unqualified she was. Those were softball questions, ones most Americans would know the answer to, let alone candidates. I know more about foreign policy than she does.
If the media leaned towards Obama, I applaud them for having sense.
Obama did not get into college with affirmative action, he got in with his brilliance (hence the President of the Law Review and Magna Cum Laude).
I have a question – why do people (some people) WANT to believe and make up hateful things about our new President? Why can't they move on and be patriotic and respectful of the people's choice?
It's much too important a time to be petty and hateful.
If Palin stories were anything new then that would be one thing, but it seems all we can hear from is reliving the past and this election that we are trying to move forward in its aftermath.
Plus, it is no great medical mystery older mothers are at highest risk of birth defects in this stage of a women's fertility span. Furthermore, maybe the decision to let Levi dropout of high school should have been taken more seriously and all consequences taken into account. Her family is the Roseanne of Alaska and the RNC, that seems to be there base element appeal.
As for Caroline Kennedy, Palin is out off line and I don't care what her opinion is on the matter, THANK GOD it is not her decision.
An old saying:
"if you can't take the heat; get out of the kitchen"
It continues to amaze me that she was ever elected to an office greater than PTA.
Last honest man: You make me laugh!
Sarah Parah needs to just shut up and go back to alaska where she belongs..
Sarah Palin is a liar pure and simple. She will do and say anything to deflect blame from herself. She blew it. Nobody else did. She gave the same stupid lame brained answers to just ordinary questions that would have been asked of any potential VP candidate. Sarah Palin is also a thief, or did you all forget about those wonderful clothes that were supposed to go back to the Republican Party or to charity.
Sarah Palin also believes in nepotism. If you don't believe this then read the letter she sent with her future son in law to get him a job after which she denied that she had anything to do with. And finally to all those who believe that the great USA would be better with her as President. please read all the comments from the local newspapers in Alaska.that should at least give you a clue just how disliked this woman is in her own state. Sarah Palin is just another Rod Blagodevich. She should also be impeached and quickly before she does any more damage to the Republican Party.
It's because of her and people like her that my party lost so badly.Good riddance to bad rubbish. I've seen Idaho potatoes with more intelligence......
Well, if this isn't a case of the proverbial Pot Calling the Kettle Black: The same person who accused Obama of "pallin' around with terrorists" and helped Joe The Wannabe-Plumber get his 15 minutes of infamy, now complains about "...taking her remarks out of context “to create adversarial situations,” and of pursuing “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues...” Is there any limit to Palin's hypocricy?
The president of the U.S. can destroy all life on earth with the push of a button. So it's no surprise that voters want to know more about the personal lives of their presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
If Palin didn't want the press probing her personal life, she never should have run in the first place.
Shaggy: Evidently you have not read anything about Obama's background. He is well-educated and was the president of the Harvard Law Review.
Palin? She got a degree in 5 years in sports journalism and still cannot form a sentence.
If ya can't take the heat, get outta the kitchen. You betcha.
Gosh darn, Sarah ... can't you just shut up?
It's over, and I hope it's over for good!
The media is is the reason for the major divide in this country , it is not for them to dictate puplic opinion. As much as the media bashed Sarah Palin in a clearly biased way , please remember that 48% of Americans did vote for her. I bet if the public knew that BHO was going to sell out to become a Clinton puppet the vote would be different. By the way I wish any one who is president of our great country well but where are Biden , Emanuel and the of the posse hiding? Sarah Palin 2012
I can't believe how many haters there are in America. If any of you were attacked the same way that Ms. Palin was you would still be crying also. None of you must have children and therefore do not understand what it is like to have your children attacked. While I don't agree with everything she does and says, I certainly don't agree with any of you bloggers. Unfortunately you are the morons and idiots. Take a good look at yourselves and put yourself in someone elses shoes for a change. I'm sure that none of you will admit that the media handled the Palin's and the Obamas totally different. They handled Obama with kid gloves and I'm sure they will handle Caroline Kennedy the same way. I liked her father, but she is not qualified to be Senator. What are her qualifications? She is about as qualified to be Senator as Obama is to be President.
I can't stand Palin but enough is enough. Leave her family alone and for goodness sake quit reporting about her.
Sarah should just leave well enough alone, She was the only one who damaged her own image. At first i was saying HEY Sarah.
until she started ralling the people up at rallies. with hate speech and lies ..I know she heard the people saying kill him and off with his head and calling Barack a terriost....and then in her glee i heard her say YESsss. That's when I said NOooo. Even though she was a attack dog with lipstick, there was no need to move the people in a dangerous frame of mind. I am glad she failed. I hope she keeps on reflecting on he lost until she figures out really where she went wrong. Maybe she will realize that division can be a two way street.
Please drop coverage of this non-story. She chose her path into politics and needs to deal with the negatives just as she enjoys the positives, like free travel, clothes and the lifestyle of the elite all on someone else's dime. It is called paying the piper.
Go back to Wasilla and whine, Sarah, and try to put on your big girl panties – hopefully, ones that you pay for personally.
The republicans lost in a BIG way, doesn't she get it? Obviously not.
Keep talking Sarah. The liberals are afraid of you. See you in four.
Why is she still in the news??
If Palin doesn't want others to "exploit" her, then she should quit exploiting herself. If she doesn't like the questions she's being asked, then stop giving interviews. If she thinks the media is misinterpreting her remarks, then she should shutup.
She's absolutely right. Some things, such as family, should be sacred. But it will never change American's think everyone's business is their business
Obama Mama and Martin, you should get together, you are both functional morons. Martin, I would venture to say, if Palin is an idiot, you would be ranked as what? Obama Mama, get a life. The day any of you can become the governor of any state, then you will almost be her equal.
The media wasn't against her. We, the majority of intelligent thinkers in our country, were against her. The media just reflected popular opinion of her. I would say Fox was the one who tried to spin it by trying to make people think she was something different than we all saw and perceived with our own eyes.
That pathetic bimbo Sarah certainly had no problems making tasteless and false statements about Barack Obama...now did she? Sarah you are full of you know what sister.
Mary
Please stop reporting on her... That should make her happy.
Marc....Marc...Marc....come on. Why are you still so sore bro. Move past it now and don't be so bitter.
Just get better players for your team that is all you have to do. Everyone has a chance of winning – even Georgie "won" and twice at that.
I really don't like Gov. Palin, but someone close to her ought to suggest she consider the possibility that some of those salacious things being printed about her are a transparent attempt to yank her chain, and every time she responds as she has this time, she only throws gasoline on the fire.
Ignore them. Be quiet. Get below the radar for a while. Let the media find some other dartboard to aim at, and then you can redefine yourself on YOUR terms. But as long as you continue with this stuff, you let the media define on their terms.
By the way, I really don't think it's personal, Sarah. It's just that these kinds of contratemps get people's attention, and that's what ratings are all about.
Ahh the Britney Spears of politics. Very true, if we stop commenting and ignore her, she will vanish.
I can't believe it! This is the woman that attacked Obama as a TERRORIST?
Another whine about personal attacks from the airhead that said Obama was "palling around with terrorists"? It would be funny if she wasn't so pathetic.
11 days till the end of the Bush administration.
I wonder if the media would report on the thnder thighs of Ma Bell Obama or the daughters. I doubt it, Palin is right on on this one.
The more we hear of her the worse she sounds – just go away! Always somebody elses fault, she takes no responsibility for anything, even for Republicants that tactic has lost it's shin. She's turned into a sad joke.
Shaggy,
You're an idiot. I can't believe you said the things you said. Obama is nowhere within a million miles of being in the idiot zone. Obama graduated from Harvard Law magna cum laude and was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. One can't do that except with exceptional talent, intellect, and work ethic. Harvard doesn't operate on affirmative action in its educational practices.
So too and also I would like to say some words. You know, just some words about some stuff and things that people normally say when they say words about stuff, and also that this thing with the words that they said. It's just so unfair so too and also not fair to me as a person or as an individual also. Thanks for your time so too and also your listening in to what I have to say also.
Gov Palin might one day be a national leader but not soon. She used a campaign of fear in an effort to gain votes from the opposition that backfired basically because of three things.
The Gov. was not in the position to verify to her public the charges she raised against then Senator Obama thus raising the appearance of her being disrespectful to a sitting Senator while her partner, John McCain was trying his best to maintain a level of honor and respect. This did not accomplish her goal which should have been to garner votes for the Republicans from the Democratic side.
The second reason her campaign failed is because she has not mastered the use of the English language. Her speech is very rough, unprofessional, and it is delivered always from a negative side. An example of this took place in the Vice Presidential Debate when she made the comment, "SAY IT AIN'T SO JOE". This was a most unprofessional delivery for a person running for the second most powerful position in the country.
The third reason her run for office failed is that she was unprepared for her interviews and to this day she has made little improvement in her mastery and delivery of the English language and she still makes her point always from the negative side rather than a more positive position.
If she works hard to correct these problems in the next couple of years she may be a viable candidate in 2012 but if not then the media, which will be waiting for her, will treat her with less respect in 2012 than she thinks she was given this year.
Sarah: Give us all a break and not try to run in 2012. You've got the only political job you are capable of doing (I guess) and you need to quit while you are ahead. The White House is WAY out of your reach. You don't have the experience or education to rule a nation. Stay up north with the people who are willing to put up with you and pay you.
Sarah, why are you surprised? You used these same tactics yourself when you were campaigning. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Don't throw stones if you don't want to be stoned yourself.
Lets not forget Richardson. He'll be next.
"Why's everybody always picking on me?" Can't take it can she? Dished out mud and slime, encouraged the rabble to speak of violence and fanned the flames of religious and racist hate of our PE at her rallies and now expects to be treated as if it never happened. What a little princess she thinks she is.
Please, please, please select Palin for the Repugnantcant Party Presidential nominee for the next 5-6 elections. She is the poster child of the brain dead, lying and wimpering losing party . She does fit well into her purloined suits, doesn't she?? If there ever was a symbol for entitlement, she is it.
You people do understand that the woman can not speak correctly, right? She is grammatically challenged, speaking in broad, general language. What is a publication? She reads publications, or so she says. It doesn't answer the question she was asked, she simply name dropped news services like the Times and USA.
As far as the biased media. Will you people ever learn that we humans don't know a thing? When you realize that you may find yourselves a bit happier.
Filter through the bias, and personal opinion, and you just might find the real news. It is there, you just have to understand how to look and interpret it. Judging by the illiterate comments of many of you, you A: should not be commenting, don't pay attention, and haven't taken it upon yourself to seek knowledge, and B: should consider turning off the television for a bit and perhaps reading a novel. This will help you articulate your answers.
She will never win an election for the presidency, and thank that fallacious god so many believe in, the media will drag her face through the darkest mud they can find.
Done.
WHAT IS SARAH'S PROBLEM? ? ?
Why can't Sarah Palin see that she creates her own demise?
CASE #1: Sarah's husband Todd was a member of the violent Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) which advocates the cessation of Alaska from the U.S. by any means possible. Sarah has attended AIP meetings, events, and "paled around" with AIP members as late as 2008. But yet Sarah Palin had the audacity falsely accuse PE-Obama of "paling around with terrorist". People at her campaign crowds were threatening physical harm to PE-Obama because of her false statements. Now explain to me how the news media, bloggers, and just plain decent folks can ignore this level of hypocrisy from Sarah Palin.
Caroline Kennedy may not be any brighter than Sarah Palin, but her handlers sure are. It is hard not to criticize her when she puts her foot in it everytime she opens her mouth.
I would really like to know how John McCain feels about all of this now. He's created a monster! Well, a fuzzy little bunny monster anyway.
Sarah in the words of my idol, Judge Judy, "Beauty is temporary, Stupid is forever"
I love to hear her talk!! The more she speaks the worse she sounds. This is the woman reps voted for? She did this to her family – she knew she was an idiot when she ran. I do not feel sorry for her – I do feel sorry for her children. It has to be hard when all of American know you mother is not very bright.
Palin is correct. The media was after both her and Clinton from the beginning. They decided that Obama would be the annointed one and did whatever they could to discredit both of them. For the first time in my life I am NOT proud to be an American.
If anyone knows how “to create adversarial situations,” and pursue “erroneous and often outrageous leads on a variety of non-issues.” it is Sarah Palin.
It's great justice that Palin feels this way since that is how she ran her entire lie-filled campaign.
My Governor is a vacuous skirt and a political dilettante. I hesitate to use the terms we call her here in Alaska.
To qoute Dan from SNL "Marc you ignorant sl..". Please control your capital letters as they tend to give away your unbridled rage. If you are comparing the "beauty queen" who attended multiple colleges to a published author/ivy league graduate humanitarian I feel that there is no comparison. Perhaps you have been drinking the RNC coolade.
Is this person still the future of the Republican Party?
Very unfortunate how the media can tear you life apart.
She needs to leave the media alone ......not sure how good the media bashing will be for her next Presidential run.....but there i go using logic again ......off course she has not thought about that .
Will she just go away already? She had her moment to shine and she blew it. Just go back to being governor, worry about the good people of Alaska, and be thankful someone took her seriously enough to nominate her fo VP.
It seems that whenever a "story" that is posted related to Sarah Palin appears, it generates hundreds of blog postings. Like her or not, she draws more reaction than any single topic out there right now. Contast that to a John McCain or Joe Biden "story", and you can draw your own conclusions......
If all you Palin haters hate her so much, why do you continue to read stories about her and then take the time to comment? Hmmmm-interesting.
I'm tired of hearing Palin whining!! She needs to go away, far away!
Why are we still talking about Sarah Palin?
I'm laughing at all of you here who are ripping on Sarah Palin right now. You're living proof that what she has said is true. I would bet my right eye that NOT ONE OF YOU knows one single thing about Alaska politics and what she and her administration have accomplished in the state. Which, you know, is her job and it's kinda important. You have fall allen prey to the media like a little dogs on a leashes. You call this woman stupid, uneducated, etc., but obviously it's you all who fall into that category. You don't have a mind of your own and can't form your own opinion. Get a life. Go read a book. Find something to do because you're embaressing your country.
Sooo uhhh is Trig hers or not? lol
Hi,I'm Sarah,and it's all about ME!!!!
Is it just me or is this mindless,ignorant ,uninformed fool just needing to be the center of attention. Can you say narcissistic and shameless self-promoter. She is exhausting. Go home and shut the hell up. Better yet teach Bristol about birth control. Have a nice day.
Last Honest Man: How can you dispute what came out of Sarah Palin's mouth? The media did not do that, she SAID it. They just reported all of her stupid remarks and vicious campaigning.
I applaud the media for keeping the spotlight on SP. With any luck, she will be the Repub. nominee in '12. I plan to contribute to her primary campaign.
Repubs will see this as a wise choice.
So will Dems, but for an entirely different reason.
THIS IS THE MOST IGNORANT WOMAN I HAVE EVER HEARD! WHY CAN'T SHE TAKE A HINT AND STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES???
JOHN MCCAIN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF UNLEASHING THIS IDIOT ONTO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. SHE IS A DISGRACE TO WOMANHOOD. SHE IS NOTHING BUT TRAILOR TRASH AND LIPSTICK.
Sarah Palin only appeals to the right-wing nuts that supported her. Middle-of-the-road sensible Americans can see right through this vacant individual.
she's not qualified enough to use fancy words yet alone critique the media
How right she is about the reporting on the election and even after ward the election is over THE MEDIA CAN STOP REPORTING ABOUT THE PALIN FAMILY AND SON-IN-LAW TO BE
Would someone shut this whiner up! First of all the fact she is trashing Katie Couric because she herself didn't know the easy answers to simple questions is rediculous! When will the republicans stop trying to blame the media everytime thier candidate loses? Sing a new song people that one is old and worn out. She is trying to save her image, which she ruined through her own dumb answers to politically based questions. If the republicans are touting this hate mongering moran as thier next big thing they are in deep deep trouble. This was a woman running for the republican VP spot that didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was...i mean come on people!
Simple Sarah's starting to sound a lot like Richard Nixon..........
She LOVED the media her first few months in the spotlight, didn’t she?! But once they got past the ‘glam’ and started to see the ‘true’ Palin, it was harshly obvious she was unable to articulately communicate her beliefs and ideas – if she could form them, for that matter. If it was not a spoon-fed, rehearsed and easily regurgitated answer, forget it! Questions as simple as what type of newspapers do you read, stumbled her. That’s NOT the media’s (Couric’s) fault. That’s just simple lack of brainpower!
MOVE ON! I'm sick of hearing about her and/or from her. Old news! I just hope Alaskans are smarter in the next election!!
It is like the Salem witch hunts, which were also based on heresy and false reporting, only Palin is not a witch. The media should be ashamed of itself! I have NO respect for anyone in the media except George Stefanopoulus. He is the ONLY ONE who never seems opinionated or biased.
Does anyone know who is paying for her PR campaign? Judging from the orchestrated, ridiculous media blitz she is on, it must be costing someone a pretty penny. Are we going to keep seeing this nonsense for the next 4 years?
Please Gov. Palin,just sit and be quiet. You're the one who wanted to be Vice-president,not knowing what all was involved with the job. You decided to be in the "spotlight", you put your family in the "spotlight" also and you complain about being exploited. You need to look up the word exploited and see who exploited whom. Please for your sake,just be quiet and be the Governor of Alaska.
Imagine if CNN really was a liberal media outlet..... if they were, they would have stopped giving her a soap box long ago and just moved on to more important news. If you do not want to hear what she says, simply do not click on the story. Eventually CNN will realize that people are no longer interested in her.
On another Post
Someone said, Joe....... Joe are you out there Joe !! Now that was too too funny
Enough of Sarah it is just her way of staying in the spot light don't
give her that we need to put her behind us and move on.
Just think our lucky stars, McCain lose.
Yawn. Sarah who?
hahahaha poor palin.
To CNN: Why is Palin still in the news?
At this rate...Ms. Palin will need a BAILOUT from the PRESS...LOL !! How much would it be worth...my guess....lotsa lipstick and bacon.
Maybe Sarah is going to run for CEO of CNN. Watch out "Best Political Team On Television." The Palinator is coming for you.
She should have realized that she and her family were going to be in the national spotlight. And she should have realized that she was not qualified to be a couple of heartbeats away from the Presidency.
Her hugh ego got her and her family in the mess they are in.
Ugh... It is one thing to attack someone on their qualifications; it is quite another to drag their children into it. Palin has every right to go after the ADN, The Atlantic, Daily Kos, etc. on this topic. In fact, if she or Todd want to give Kos or Andi Sullivan a good beatdown, I'll be there cheering them on. Any woman who isn't a mama bear when it comes to her children isn't worth her salt.
As for Trig trutherism, the conspiracy is about as plausible as those involving WTC 7. In fact, most people who believe the Trig rumors probably are also 9/11 truthers. Women in their 40s are at risk to give birth to Down Syndrome babies; girls in their teens are not. The fact that prominent bloggers and newspapers would want to risk their credibility on this fantasy is beyond me. And Sarah shouldn't have to prove that Trig's her child, just like Obama shouldn't have to prove he's a natural born citizen.
Trigs birthday as stated by Palin is a matter of public record....
However, check out the on-line records of the hospital in Alaska where Trig was supposedly born...
There are NO records of any baby named Trig being born on that day...
Of course the MSM would NEVER stoop so low as to actually do INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM.
I love it when people write to say that everyone else is wrong or mean or stupid for saying anything negative. Such as Donna who wrote to say everyone here is a sicko for ripping apart Palin. LOL, those people are commenting on a public person who puts herself and her family in the lime-light on purpose, Donna. You, however, called almost everyone commenting on this blog a "Sicko". Ever hear of the kettle? So, your negative opinion matters about people you don't even know, while their negative opinion about a well-known public figure is sick? Wow, just wow. Go back to listening to Hannity. I'm sure when you agree with someone you don't think their negative remarks make them a sicko, just a concerned American.
The McCain campaign exploited Sarah Palin. They picked her because she is an attractive female and a governor. Does anyone believe that she'd have been picked if Obama had chosen Clinton for VP? Not a chance.
This idiot continues to put her heel in her mouth. People are so in tuned to her comments as they are so unbelievable. Now she is slamming the Kennedy clan. It unbelievable that this woman is actually a governor of a state. That is real scary! Please go away Sarah, like to Russia since they are so close.
This Alaska hillbilly's 15 minutes were up weeks ago . . . GO AWAY! And how would she know about the news media's coverage anyway, as I recall she couldn't name a news magazine or paper that she read when she was interviewed. Maybe she's waiting for the picture book version of herself to be released.
Seems to be a whole lot of jealousy on these blogs concerning Sarah . She is a beautiful woman with a beautiful family. Not perfect but hey, I can just sense that some of you bloggers are a looooong way from perfect. How can you (and you know who you are) call other people idiots ,stupid etc when you should just listen to yourselves whinning!!! Some of you can't think for yourselves –or so it seems– so you just copy some of the same things into your blogs that your "pals " have just posted. And Potty mouths need to be cleaned up!!!!
Forgot to mention, hard to cry foul Sarah when you continue to call Barrack a Muslim, not that it should make any difference.
Palin does job that she was elected for. Can that be done? And can it just be published in the local papers an news. And CNN, I thought you had better things to report, real news from around the country and world seem to be way more important than a hockey mom wearing lipsick or was it a pitbull wearing lipstick.
If Palin continues her ranting and raving over her own stupidity by blaiming it on everyone else, she is sure to dig her own political grave. Ok so Palin, keep it up. She thrives on any form of media attention she can get. Fox news folks lover her...........Speaks volumes!
hmmm. I know her. She was the one that repeated the rumors about Obama and his pally terrorist friends. There is a word for this type of behavior.....hypocrite....and I'll throw in 'nut job' for free.
If Palin is so upset about the media reporting on her kids, why did her daughter Bristol sell the pictures of her newborn baby to People Magazine for $300.000 dollars? Is that the new income limit for the "real americans" that she and joe the plumber talk about representing. The noble thing to do is be a great Gov. to the people of Alaska and be an even better parent to all her kids and stop doing these interviews. Get out of the limelight and be the person you claim to be, a soccer mom, a Governor and not a fame seeking diva. You don't see Cindy or John Mccain doing interviews or seeking unnecessary press do you? Palin, let it go please.
This is amazing. Even Sen. McCain doesn't get this much press space since the election. I guess he isn't a media junkie like she is. She seems to crave all attention, even negative press so this hate affair could go on for years folks.
The things we do to mug for the spotlight. Just slide into irrelevance gracefully, Sarah. You're moronic, narrow-minded and attention-starved. And now it appears you want to repress the media and their right to free speech. If only you could've been Stalin's bride, you'd have gone somewhere.
I agree with Palin, who cares what Katie Couric thinks. I can't believe she's actually still on television. Is Palin perfect? No. But who is? It's sure not Obama, Biden, Oprah, Couric or the super-liberal media kissing their butts. Gov. Palin has my respect for calling it like she sees it and having some morals. I've yet to find any "real" morals in the Democrats or their fans. Our nation is going to hell in a hand basket and the democrats are leading the way.
Ms. Palin,
Therapy may help. Denial of and lack of accountability for your own personal actions and words can be modified. Your son was a juvenile delinguent, your daughter now a teen mom and who knows what is next for your other children. Narcissicsm is not pretty and your display of such behavior is rampant. Can you not stop and look in the mirror?
You were not prepared, are not prepared, to lead this country in any way.
A Constituant.
Stay tuned folks...watch what happens here in Alaska now that the oil dollars are shrinking. We will get to see her govern without the boost of unlimited funds. This will prove to be interesting and hopefully will prove to put Ms. Palin out of office. Permanently, on either the state or national level.
The chickens have come to roost honey bunch. You created lies in the minds of people. I dont believe Trig is your party girl daughters child. erhaps if you acted more maternal to your children the rumors would die out. The few people in my office that liked you are being turned off by your incessant whining. If you had given a darn about your kids you would have not accepted the VP nod. If you hadnt paraded Levi on stage with Bristol and not CALLED People magazine to announce the birth of their out of wedlock child the rumors would die down. If you wouldnt go on the State of Alaskas web site and have your daughter say being an unwed mother is not ideal , The rumors would die down.
Now you are insulting Tina Fey and Katie Couric. Why did you go on SNL if offended by the woman?
You have zero integrity. How Mccain picked this nut is beyond me
If this moron is an example of right wing conservatism then the GOP is sure to become an extinct political faction. The stupidity of Palin and her lack of intelligence on basic matters contribute to my impression that the Alaskan people have no clue how to judge competence. Sara, please go away with your disfunctional family and let the Amercan people enjoy the moment of Barach Obama's impressive victory.
Re: obama-mama January 9th, 2009 12:30 pm ET
I just hope she doesn't end up in a mental institution. She is really not stable. Maybe she should see a shrink to get herself together and clear her conscience….
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I HOPE SHE DOES GET WHITE JACKETED AND PUT IN A PADDED CELL... It would be a lot SAFER for not just Alaska, the USA...THE WHOLE WORLD !!!
I can understand why most of us are frustrated with the media, but it really hasn't changed much since the first presedential elections. Review your history. We are just overexposed these days . . .no big deal.
Thats a laugh! The media reported her the same way most of the country saw her. Palin is a joke and was fairly reported. If she was a male and said the things she said, the media would have reacted with the same disbelief.
Aren't her 15 minutes up yet? I mean, get real...once a week or so she comes up with something to say about those few months where she was in the public eye, just to get herself back in the public eye.
If she wanted/expected her family to be "off limits" she should not have paraded them around the country with her.
She's whining over things she could have easily controlled by being better prepared – or should I simply say Prepared. Did she really think she could enter the political limelight and not be scrutinized? And comments about Caroline Kennedy – well, suffice it to say Kennedy grew up in the limelight, and she's still getting pummeled!
If Palin expects to enter the national policial area she better grow thicker skin and do some major studying.
I find it fascinating and ironic that the liberals accuse conservatives of hate mongering. Just read comments on blogs like this & you'll see the only ones spreading hate are liberals. Probably a bunch of college kids with no job, who have too much time on their hands...so they sit online all day spreading hate. You people are too much. Hopefully you'll all start paying more attention to what really matters – how your government is spending your money (well, those of you that pay taxes anyway). And hopefully journalists return to what they are supposed to do, which is protect the American people by honestly and objectives reporting the facts without the filter of their own bias. If this doesn't happen, we are all in big trouble.
I didn't know that Sarah knew words like "salacious", "erroneous" and "adversarial".
Boo hoo, Republicans.
SHUT UP, PALIN, YOU SELF-CENTERED CRYBABY! THE MORE YOU SEEK THE LIMELIGHT, THE DUMBER YOU LOOK. WE ARE SICK TO DEATH OF YOU!!!
Maybe its not the media that's out to get her but her own propensity for saying stupid things (or nothing at all) while aspiring to the second highest office in the land. Or maybe it was her saracastic and biting convention speech when, it turned out, she had no room to criticize given her less than polished intellect. And in all honesty, the accent, the wardrobe issues, the troopergate story and spotty college eduction did not help. She came across as a hick mom that was barely qualified to be PTA president much less vice-president of the US. And even though I think she is terrible, I am praying that she runs in 2012. That kind of entertainment is worth the prospect of continuing Bush's ruination of our country.
"Hooray Sarah!!!!!!!! Go get 'em girl!! You have much to offer the US, much to offer women in particular. I am in full agreement with you and support you 100%….as do thousands of Americans."
Best. Comment. EVAR.
No. Wait.
Nevermind.
The Queen of spreading (and trying to capitalize) on false rumors and disgusting accusations said what?
I can understand if she is suppressing any memories of her own behavior during her short stint for the highest office in the country.. the world.. (i would too if I was in her shoes!) .. but I hope the rest of this country doesn't.
Enough of this woman (who brought her whole entire family and its stories on the stage all by her self (and i keeping it there)!
Since she never released her medical records like the other candidates, the rumor (or truth) will keep hanging on.
Ms. Palin is wasting precious time. If she wants to come back and run in four years she needs to go to school and get an education – fast! She has a lot of ground to cover!
But, if she wants to continue her bizarre spectacle (which happens every time she opens her mouth) it's OK with me. It will only make the other candidates more appealing, and perhaps sink her chances for good. I honestly think the lady has an emotional problem of some kind that will not allow her to shut up and let time erase the memories we all have of her cluelessness.
A Reagan Republican
My my Miss Sarah thou does protest too much. If the MSM is as evil as you say why continue speaking to anyone with a microphone? Wouldn't your time be better spent insuring that Willow and Piper value their education and have enough self esteem not to have unprotected sex with the first hockey player who winks at them? As someone with a 6 years to achieve Journalism Degree the inner working of the media should not be this much of a shock! Also, it's not too smart to bad mouth the very institution you will need in 4 yrs should you decide to try again. Once Alan Colmes leaves
Mr. Hannity's low ratings may have him off the air and bartending again before 2012.
who freaking cares what you have to say about the media? you weren't painted in any color but your own. you didn't have the answers to simple questions, you weren't ready, you weren't qualified. how much more do you need to know. trying to salvage your image this early in a defeat is just sad. you could have stayed away from the cameras and played everything down until 2012 and maybe ran for President but now your just adding fuel to your own fire and bringing up stuff most of the general public has moved on from. take some advice and quit talking while you have the chance.
Oh! – Your still here?
Shaggy what a bigot. Obama may have gotten into Harvard due to affirmative action but you dont make president of the Harvard Law Revue because your are dumb. You dont become a professor at U of Chicago because your dumb. Face it Palin was elected govenor of a state that is full of a strange group of people . They liked her in a skirt
The media is trying to let her go away but she is still trying to keep herself in the public view. Please Sarah just go away! You are completely out of your league and the Republican party should be ashamed of trying to get McCain and you elected. You continually display your lack of intelligence and political awareness on just about every important avenue.
get over yourself palin... no one cares anymore. If you have any dignity whatsoever please just go away. if you didn't give the media a reason to talk about you they wouldn't.
I'd love for anyone of you to have totally made up crap about you and your children spread across the international news. I don't care if it's a republican or democrat, she has every reason to be angry/hurt.
I find it interesting that Palin, of all people, is complaining about the accuracy of facts regarding the media. Is she aware that the American people elected a 'terrorist' into our highest office?
Please spare me...
Who cares?
The funny thing is how angry and depressed so many of you libs still sound even after your boy Barack has won the election–thanks to the obfuscation of his record by Catie Couric (don't you just love her), CNN, the NYTs, etc. But we all know Barack is farther to the left than any President since Jimi Carter and he's likely to be a one-termer like Carter. I can just imagine how angry and depressed you all will be when President Palin takes over in 2012!!. Perhaps I should start investing in pharma stocks now because you nasty cranks are going to have to triple your doses of mood altering drugs.
It's Barack Obama's fault. It's the McCain camps fault. It's the elite media's fault. It's Katie Couric's fault. It's Charlie Gibson's fault. It's the GOP's fault. It's Tina Fey's fault. It's the Democrat's fault. It's the blogger's fault. Her son is shipped off to Iraq, to quell his drug issues, her oldest daughter is an out of wedlock baby mama that still doesn't have her high school diploma, or prospects for the future to date. Her other children are trying to play catch up with school, because their mother's needs come above all else. Take a look at your life and that of your children Sarah Palin, because it's all YOUR FAULT!
You can smear Obama, never retract the lies and hold back information (troopergate testimony-why?) and (health records-why?)You gave hysterically softball interviews to Faux News, but refused any REAL interviews with REAL questions that a VP should know!
Even McCain now admits you're unqualified – there are so much better choices – Bobby Jindahl for instance. Candidates that wouldn't be afraid the speak without a script full of hate.
Again, I'm with the group that says "bring it on in 2012" – that will insure the democrats can finish the clean-up of Bush's mess.
The thought that this woman could have been a heartbeat away from the presidency (the beat of a 70+ year old heart in a 3 times cancer survivor, no less) continues to be one of the most shocking, terrifying things imaginable. I had always liked, and admired, John McCain and am pleased to see him returning "to himself" apparently (as he did with his concession speech) ............. but I don't know that I can ever forgive him for the danger he tried to put this country in when he selected her to be his VP candidate. (Perhaps he's having trouble forgiving himself - he had met her only one time, after all.) - If she were at all aware of her serious limitations (intelligence, basic logic, experience, communication skills, integrity), she would have politely declined. That she didn't – and doesn't – have the faintest notion makes the dange we would all have faced that much greater. What a small-minded, small soul individual.
She's STILL talking?
This is all I can say anymore on any post concerning Sarah Palin. She just can't let go of the spotlight.
Now, Now, Now, just how many of you had the guts to run for vice president. And just how smart are you, that write these comments. Yes, it is your right freedom of speech. You are no better than the media. At least she gave it a try, what are you doing to help the country. Obama is in, give him the your support. No, I didn't vote for him, but he is now going to be the "President of the United States", he will need all of our support. Wouldn't live anywhere else.
Sarah, If Trig is yours, why could you not produce a DNA test or hospital records? I think Palling around with a dropout and his meth dealing mom is fair criticism.
Your 15 minutes of fame are UP!! For all the money you claim to have saved your region – you are wasting it all by not doing what you are paid to do – which is go to work for the people who hired you. Put your long johns back on and take your behind back to work in Alaska.
Kevin in Ohio , I am not the LEFT I have voted Republican in the past. I cant abide this woman she is everything I am against period and shes not bright . Shes narcissitic
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen Gov. Palin!
HOW IS IT THAT SOME WANNA BE SINGERS, BLAME EVERYONE BUT THEMSELVES FOR A FLAT NOTE?
I am sick of this woman
She should have been perpard for those interviews, she also should have tried to devide the country with hate.
Typical Republican response, blame the "liberal media." The media hasn't been liberal for years, where's she been. Sarah Palin has no business as a public servant as the entire of her being is all about self-service, and frankly we've had enough of that.
I had already forgotten about this crazy lady...
Shaggy: You are obviously severely lacking in intelligence. Why you would want to broadcast your ignorance for everyone on this thread to read is beyond my understanding.
Ha! "...and often the refusal of the media to correct obvious mistakes..."
This from the same person who kept up that Obama was a socialist, communist, Ayers was a close friend and adviser, and so on?
God made Sarah Palin...... a complete JOKE! Keep her in the news as a constant reminder of what idiots make up and support the conservative right.
Does anyone know if there is a "Biggest Hypocrite" award anywhere? This cheap whining from the woman who almost laughed while she made the statement "pals around with terrorists" along with condoning racist and threatening comments with her silence has the stupidity to complain? Even her whining about her interviews is childish. If she was dumb enough to put herself out there with limited knowledge and skills then it is her own fault as much as anyone else's. She had no problem slinging around false accusations when she was trying to get elected and now she is going to stand in judgement of the Amercian people? Stay in Alaska Palin and such it up.
The people told Dr. Frankenstein, "You made the monster, now you kill it". Sometimes we make our own monster. Palin is a monster (metaphoricallly) created by John McCain and/or the Republican Party. I say let them kill her. Let them be the ones to sit her down and tell her to shut up. It's not the media's fault that she keeps jumping into a camera and spewing out all her ignorance. She should have the good sense to know that the election is over and done. You notice John McCain haven't been up the media's face since he lost. She can simply do the same.
Sarha I love you! Please call me at 1-800-WAWA!
To Dissapointed: Don't be the pot calling the kettle. Do you know the difference between "your" and "you're"?
"Sarah's Falin' "revealed her true colors during the general election. The only idiots who couldn't read the writing on the wall were those who plastered "W04" stickers on their cars in '03/'04. Not even the adverse results of that ill decision opened their eyes to Falin'. They simply can't be helped. However, the majority of us know what Sarah is about so we shouldn't expect her to behave any differently. Her latest, illogical rants are completely in character. Are you surprised when you hear a Pit Bull bark? NO, so neither should you be surprised when you hear a pig squeal.
Hmm...salacious...how ever would she know about that sort of stuff? Oh, I know...IT'S BECAUSE THAT'S HER M.O.!
She needs to start paying less attention to the media and more attention to the son she purportedly has.
Sarah Palin, if you would just SHUT UP, then no "media" would "take you out of context". As if you have much to take into context in the first place. Just stop trying to hog the limelight by giving 'interviews' and releasing statements.
Good grief! Palin and her staff have proved that they live in an alternate reality. Here's a suggestion – grow up! These childlike tantrums indicate the unreadyness for higher office.
I think we should all move on. Palin lacks the basic intellect needed to be in public office and the media knows that. Oh well, they had no choice but to expose her for the fraud she represents.
Right you are, Sarah Palin– it's not that you are ignorant and unprepared for national leadership and take cheap shots, all of your problems are the fault of the Evil Liberal Media. If you did more to control and restrict and micromanage them and everyone around you, would it give you the wisdom and understanding to lead this country?
Is this the same Sarah Palin that accused Hillary Clinton of whining during the campaign? Sounds like she is whining now. What a difference a day makes! Concerning Affirmative Action, Shaggy, John McCain is the biggest recipient of Affirmative Action that ran for office. How did he qualify for the Naval Academy? How did he remain in the Naval Academy with such a dismal record? How did he get to run for Congress? Check you facts.
'I can see Russia from my house, 'it certainly adds to my foreign policy experience', these are you own words. No matter whether you take it out of a context or put it in a context, the meaning is still the same.
If you know Trig is your son, you are more than welcome to prove it by providing a birth certificate of his. People will not bother abt it once you do that.
Kennedy is not scrutinized, because she hasn't said anything dumb so far, like you did.
For once, stop being a politician and be a human being.......
@marc – read the US Constitution and learn what the qualifications for Senator are. You dont have to be college educated or have experienece. If I were Kennedy and I was denied the seat based on qualifications I would sue for violation of Constitutional rights.
Actually Bubba – the Downs rate is the same for very young mothers (teenagers) as it is for older mothers......
The whole point about being a public official is to know how to take public criticism. How can we trust her in the white house to be mentally strong when she crying about the media attacking her. Grow up Palin for once in your life.
Palin is absolutely correct about the media. It disgusts me to see so much coverage given to the non-issues and not enough coverage of how much she has accomplished in her state. Sarah is a wonderful example for all of our young women. Props to Mr Palin for being so supportive and enabling her to succeed!
Well, I'll grant her that the story about Trig not being hers was out of line. But as for the rest, she played and pandered on emotions and misconceptions, and being salacious, just as much as the media she accuses.
Pot. Kettle.
How does it feel Palin. You kept repeating mean lies and inciting hate and anger in people, so you don't get to complain now.
The 'pals around with terrorists' slime coming home to roost, wouldn't you say ? This is exactly how she insidiously tried to smear Barack Obama during the campaign. What goes a round, comes around.
ATTENTION CNN–
WE NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THIS WOMAN. PLEASE STOP REPORTING ON HER. SHE DOESN'T MATTER TO ANYONE BUT ALASKANS NOW.
More polar bear poop. Even a "brainwashed liberal idiot " recognizes poop when they see it. Too bad the Palinistas cannot. Trig is however, an adorable little boy.
A sign of a great leader is someone who can admit defeat by thier own doing and work to fix what went wrong....
EPIC Phalin
If she was an elitist she could enjoy some cheese with that whine.
Nobody loves a sore loser or sour grapes.
Donna we are not hateful. Palin is hateful. She doesnt go away, we dont want her , we dont need her, she is govenor of a state, why doesnt she go do her job. ?
Message to Last Honest Man.
No, the news media did not make Palin lose the election
The majority of people saw her as someone who was just plain stupid.
She not only didn't know about national and international issues, she did not have the intelligence to understand them.
She is the poster girl for arrogant stupidity.
If Palin would just answer questions clearly and divulge her medical records (as Obama did) then the issues would be mitigated.
She and her administration are only fueling the fire.
Advice to Palin – be forthcoming and then shut up and continue screwing up Alaska!
She wants to "call out" everyone she dislikes, but whines about scrutiny by the press. You think Bush and Obama have been spared by the press? That is public life. If you can't take it, get out.
Palin loves this. Anything to keep her name in the lights and the media keeps obliging.
It is best to let it go. It is not a fair contest to get in a pissing contest with a skunk.
Sarah Palin is amazing. She has no problem trying to make Barack Obama look like the bogeyman, but cannot handle the karmic retribution. I am personally looking forward to 2012, then perhaps we can put a lid on this thing once and for all.
WAAA! I didn't win! WAAAA! It's everbody else's fault! WAAA! When I dragged my family out in public, I didn't mean you could say anything about them! WAAA! WAAA!
Sarah Palin is disgusting, she believes her own hype. I dont care if Trig is her kid, Bristols or Joe the Plumbers. Shes a lousy mother that chose her career over her kids well being. She is not very bright and I was scared to death she would be VP .
WHY CAN'T SARAH ACKNOWLEDGE HER OWN SHORTCOMINGS? ? ?
When you make salaciously false and divisive statements as did Sarah Palin, how can you possibly expect "sweet warm fuzzy" compliments to return?
CASE #2: During Sarah's campaign she often stated that the region (and/or state) she was campaigning in at that time was more "real America" and "more patriotic". WOW!!! That was a slap in the face of every Blue state in the Union that has fallen sons and daughters in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Every so-called Blue state in the Union has sacrificed more blood in the fight against terrorism than Gov. Palin's own "real America" state of Alaska. Sarah Palin is a big mouth, hypocritical diva with a nasty attitude.
Is the really mean coming out in Palin now that she knows she is NOT going to be Vice President. It seems that what was okay during the election is no longer okay. Listen, Sarah, public life is what it is – you HAVE to take the good with the bad OR stay outta public life. AND during the election, she wasn't so upset with Tina Fey as she appears to be now. Hummmmmm! I wonder why she didn't display this mean side while the election was ongoing – could there have been some deception there??? In a Republican?? Makes me glad all over once again the I voted for Obama and glad I'm not a two-faced Republican like Sarah.
Wouldn't it be interesting if 'media" just stopped reporting any and everytthing concerning the Trailer Park Queen.She'd be forced to either come up with her own money to pay for this garbage,or float a loan from Rush Limberger.If Caribou Barbie wants to be a viable candidate in 2012,she should shut up,govern Alaska,(can't be that hard if she's doing it",and engage in activities,that demonstrate that she has some brain function,no matter how feeble.Democrats already know her for who she is,an yet the silly bimbo continues to make it all too evident to Republicans and Independents just how insipid she truly is.
I find it interesting how many comments run parallel to what has been, and is now, being said in some of the media. I think it gives an indication how much the public opinion is formed by what they hear in the media. I guess if people get their news only from networks that promote their views, they will have a narrow view of the world.
I wish more people would listen to many different points of view and then make an educated decision about what's going on in the world. But that would require some effort, and it's apparent that many who comment in this blog are not willing to make that kind of effort. Sad.
Bubba,
Your exactly part of what she is talking about. It's not odds are that she is the mother. She is the mother period.
Go back to your paparazzi style over subtance life.
Unfortunately that fact is that the media in this county is the worst in the free world and is the main catalyst in the demise of this country.
Mrs. Palin< you voiced a lot of untrue, unkind, offensive things at then Senator Obama during the campaign. Your own words are what caused me and others to see that you are not qualifed to be Vice President, possibly President of this country. What separates you from Caroline Kennedy and President-elect Obama is your lack of knowledge. Instead of criticizing the media, do an honest evaluation of yourself and get back in school and learn more about history, geography and, above all, the constitution. The more you can learn, the better. Public speaking would help you, too. Maybe then, you will be ready in 2012 or 2016. Maybe.
All you anti-Palin people are clueless people. Please go to fox news to get some intelligence. Main stream media has you stupidfied. Palin has achieved way more than your Obama man. By the way Obama is now realizing what Bush/republicians have been trying to tell him,since he now it getting the daily briefing. I believe he really has CHANGED, to the right that is
Haven't we had enough of this Alaskan bag.Come on now?Who in the hell cares what she thinks,says or does.She was just a senile whim of John McCains suicidal strategies that put him way out in left field.She was the straw that broke the camels back for McCain and the republican party.
We have so many issues with our countries fate today and she is given air time?DAH!
Some governor she is.She is more concerned about her so called political future that she puts it above her children,grandchild and the people of Alaska.She needs to clean up her own laundry let alone the countries.
As for the morons that support her...well I guess it takes all kinds!
If Sarah did get a dictionary, she should look up the definition of salacious because I don't recall anyone in the media making comments about her or her family that "aroused sexual desire or imagination." In fact, just the opposite; ignorance is not sexy.
If Sarah cannot stand the heat, she should stay out of the kitchen. It is time for her to get back under the porch and quit barking.
A question: I thought that the conservative mantra was "personal responsibility." She should quit whining . . . it makes her look weak and silly.
This woman has CREATED her own mess with her scandalous behavior in Alaska and her disastrous interviews with Gibson and Couric. I didn't NEED the media or SNL to show me that she was woefully incompetent and uninformed. All I had to do is listen to her. Fey, for the most part, simply used Palin's OWN WORDS in her parodies . . . nothing else was required.
As for the Trig thing . . . those rumors came from Alaska and were floating about for months before anybody in the "lower 48" knew who this person was . . . I don't recall anybody in the MSM really paying much attention to them. Palin is the one who kept trotting her pregnant daughter across the stage.
She can complain all she wants about Tina Fey, it's not like if she didn't contribute to those ratings b/c she appeared for SNL.... Katie Couric, had to ask questions about what most American's were wondering if she knew what the heck she was doing. I think we all got our answer even before she made that interview. She continues to YAP her mouth and still doesn't seem to go away. And continues to wonder why the media is so tough on her..... IDIOT!
I do not understand why the media is still focussing on covering Palin and her family news. Leave her and her family alone. She is not important any more to get our attention.
Palin didn’t lose an election. She was sent out in the fields pick up wholesome fruits and she did just that..! She filled her basked untainted you see.. The fact the majority picked up their feet and moved away at the sound of what she had to say shows more strength than any thousands Obama. I can understand why she could doubt herself and be tempted/fooled to taint her basket after such good work.. But I hope my words of appreciation will get her back in line. Thanks
What is the infatuation of you liberals with this woman? The fact is that Palin is a smart woman that has accomplished at her age more than what 99% of you idiots will ever accomplish in your entire life.
Keep waiting for O'MAMMA to solve all your problems. You are all in for a rude awakening! It is just a matter of time.
Would you please quit giving press space to this idiiot of a woman?
Palin doesn't know the meaning of the word "salacious." Who do you think you're fooling?
Just curious, did Gov. Palin EVER answer the question about what newspapers she reads...?
What if Sara Palin called a news conference and nobody came? What if Sara Palin said something and the media ignored it. What a wonderful world it would be!
Who is Sahra Palin?
CNN = Communist News Network
What do real public servants and politicians do during a time of dire economic crisis? They get to work.
What do self-absorbed pretenders do? They remain blissfully ignorant to the national zeitgeist, and insert themselves into the same media outlets they so dispise so as to complain about how unfairly they are being treated.
At the end of the day, it seems that these statements are simply acts of desperation by a person who regrets totally mucking up her chance at moving into the national scene.
I wouldn't put it past Palin to issue another woe-is-me press release on Inauguration Day.
The sooner people leave her alone, the sooner she will go away.... Please, just leave her alone on her melting and crooked state.
I'm so sick of hearing about Palin... Back to Alaska and the AIP for her and good riddance.
When is Gov. Palin going to take responsibility for putting her family in the media by excepting the VP. nomination. She should ahve know how everything really works here in the mainland states and politics. Shame on her for not knowing this was going to happen.
It really is sad how this woman is bringing up issues that are several months old simply to remain in the media spot light. What reason could she possibly have to be making these allegations now, two months after the election other than the fact that she still wants to be in the news
take a DNA test–remove all doubts–unless you don't think it would come out the way you claim–simple
To quote her "As a public official, I expect criticism........but the personal .....nature of recent reporting ....discredits .....journalism today" is hypocritical because she brought her family and personal life into her campaign more than any vice-presidential (or presidential) candidate ever. Remember, "the difference between a pit bull and hockey mom....." etc. She literally ran her campaign on her "personal" values and experiences and conveniently avoided federal issues because she was ignorant on those topics. Remember, she had experience in foreign affairs because she "could see Russia" from her house. She really should have kept her family out of it all, she asked for this coverage.
Yawn...the only thing I can say to Sarah is...got brains?
Did she read about these rumors in one of her secret magazines?
What a colossal litany of hatred spewed here by small-minded little people who have a visceral need to criminalize simple political differences.
Half of you sad, anonymous little twerps can't even spell or punctuate your hate-filled sentences. And, simultaneously, you say Sarah Palin is stupid.
In-freaking-credible.
Maybe the BBC can still report on actual news. CNN apparently can't.
She is commenting on false media reports about her daughter and infant son.
I am quite certain that Barack Obama objected to people criticizing his family.
Double standards are fun.
Boy.... what a bunch of sour grapes from the respondents here.
I feel Sarah Palin has a perfect right to say what she says now –ever hear of Free Speech? - especially when she had the good sense not to do so while campaigning, as it would've reflected poorly on her running mate.
Aren't the respondents taking advantage of "free speech" now, to say what they write here? Same thing!
On second thought, she should be in charge of the Republican party, or soon to be the third party.
This Lady is suffering from Bipolar Disorder
Let's say for the sake of argument that the major media has a liberal bias. Still, I know I've seen Republicans on TV that did not look like complete morons. So what exactly is her excuse.
Does she even govern anymore?
Was this Trig story ever REALLY a story that anyone with half of a brain would believe? I hate how a ridiculous story like this is mentioned by one media outlet or another, and then we get "All media are biased!!" mantra. To pick one story here and another there and then generalize to an entire industry is ridiculous. This Trig story has no more credibility than the "Obama was not born in the U.S." tripe.
In another note, what 'media' is she even talking about? Perhaps she (and other conservatives) means "All media is bad! ...well, except those that like me. Thank God for Fox News. They're fair and balanced. How do we know? They tell you so in their catchy slogan!"
Puh-leaze....
Will she ever stop WHINING???? Keep it up – good job – way to have America think you are right for the job! And how paranoid can she be to think Katie was trying to trick her or ridicule her for living in Alaska when asking her about the reading material!!! It was a VALID question. Blame everyone but yourself for your choices. Grow up, please. Politics – can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
Sarah Palin is right. The media unfairly went after her family on issues that were not germain to the election. No one in the media was hot on the trail of Michele Obama after she was pulled from her husband's campaign when she made her infamous "For the first time in my life, I'm proud to be American" remark.
And lastly, why did Sarah agree to be on SNL. Why was she chair dancing when the "hip hop" moose song was being sung? Raising her hands in the air.
The only reason she's speaking out now is because she realizes how dumb it make her look. TV only mirrors reality.
I guess this proves Sarah Believes any publicity is good publicity. This nut is news everytime trash spews out of her mouth, whether it be calling President Obama a terrorist to trashing Katie Couric for asking her very basic questions; she's a nut job and if the republican party wants her to be their candidate in 2012, go for it, the next generation of voters will be just as aware of her stupidity as this last generation and her scary "base" will continue to get weaker.
you stupid liberals, you have Obama now and besides not being qualified we don't know where he was born either! He is tallking well and a lot but he has said nothing so far. Even some liberal people in Congress are starting to notice and they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer either.
Sarah Paling was the best of the bunch and the liberals were scared to death. They had to destroy her. What has Obama done?????NOTHING! Sarah is way ahead of him.
I am so sick of this phony, ignorant, out of touch excuse for a woman. The statement was obviously written by one of her staff or one of the idiotic GOP handlers that want her to run in 2012. Please, please crawl back in your hole. No one ever heard of her before the 2008 election and everyone wishes they never heard of her now.
Its ok for her to call obama a terrorist. And people who dont agree with her un-american.Palins the poster child for the republican party.With her education level she would barely qualify for an entry-level management job yet the republicans would have her running the country.
Palin says everything is God's will. She's another George W.
She's a crazy person, and we DO NOT want 4 or 8 years of her God's will.
I had forgotten about the theory that Trig wasn't her child until she brought it up again, and I read "liberal" newspapers, etc.
I'm inclined to think that these attacks happen more oft in blogosphere, and that's not news in my opinion. The only time my thoughts turn to Palin is when CNN does another Ticker report on her. If anything she is good at her own PR...with a little help from CNN.
What a hypocrite! She smears Obama with these mean spirited lies. She said Hillary complaining of biased treatment was not good for women. But do not dare suggest that Trig might be Bristol's baby. How heinous.
I feel ya Palin! You can talk about me, you can scandalize my name, but please don't mess with my children. If you want to bring the fight out of me then mess with inocent children who do not know how to fight for themselves.
Palin is Trig mother, she has every right to say something, forget the party, that is her son. If you do not have a child then you will not understand. Last and final comment, back off of Palin and Caroline Kennedy. They are going to try to mud sling Caroline too.
how dare they point out the fact that she acted like a complete moron!
well well well
Man, this story completely clouded over the 74th birthday of Elvis . We need to get our priorities in order here in the USA!!! First we should talk about Elvis, then Palin and then the economy!!! Right?? Yesterday it was Palin, Elvis and then the economy....so much dysfunction. We did indeed get our 3rd priority out there though, so I guess we can pat ourselves on the back for that!! Hey it is a start!! The day that we all wake up and don't smell the Palin rose again, might just need to go down as a national day of celebration!!!
I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MRS PALIN DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE! SHE'S NOT PLAYING DUMB SHE IS DUMB ,AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THIS IS VERY SAD!!!!!!!!!!
Her face was so funny when she lost. She cried real tears as if Americans would ever vote for such an idiot to be one step away from the presidency. I was so happy when she kept talking because every syllable she uttered sealed her fate. Every syllable put her one step away from the oval office. Thank God for sensible Americans. We really won the day.
She's not ready for Washington, and not ready for prime time, if you ask me. She'll never be ready as long as we value intelligent, competent leaders.
Thanks but no thanks Sarah, now go away.
And just for the heck of it, I'm so glad we don't have a plastic first lady like Cindy Lou. Whew....thank goodness she can go back to shopping and racking up $700,000. purchases in one month.
Looks like Alaska has a new main export to add along with oil, natural gas and seafood. Now on the list is Caribou Barbie Whine. The older it gets, the more bitter it becomes.
Wow the media must really be afraid of the righteousness this wonderful lady may bring to politics that they so go after her with lie after lie after lie.
I also noticed very little coverage as a whole when the church she attends was burned by arsonists. Hmm, seems a little slanted. If it had been "some" other political person's church it would have been major headlines!!
2012 Sarah Palin
Stop acting the victim – which you are not. You have been given enough publicity. Please do us a favor. Give interviews or talk to the media only if you can make significant contribution to the crisis that the country faces. We are not interested in your family, your clothes and your grudges that you bear against the entire world.
Hey Sarah,
Did you notice that all of the candidates, including John McCain, released their medical records long before the election? We were still asking to see yours on November 3. Instead, you released a letter from your family physician that mentioned a breast biopsy and that you don't have allergies. Why are you surprised that people think you're hiding something? You carried that baby all over the country like he was a campaign sign or something. If you had left your children at home like the rest of the candidates instead of parading them all over the country at the expense of Alaska taxpayers, you probably wouldn't be having this problem. You didn't have a problem with all of the photo ops of you being mom of the year. The media was doing its job. Now go do yours. Fire some more state troopers and prevent some more drug dealers from being arrested and prosecuted. And stay out of the spotlight. We're tired of you.
Sincerely,
America
HAHAHA!
"Palin The Manure Spreader !" (January 9th,2009 12:03 pm ET)
That is the Great One! Thank you for big laugh, really makes my day!
Linda, You are ABSOLUTELY right. Thousands of the over 300 million Americans support Sarah Palin 100%. The other 300 million of us see her for the slightly less corrupt than most of the politicians headlining the news these days, and that doesn't count for much.
I do think that the reporting on almost all politicians these days is a bit slanderous and often a bit personal, but since most of us don't get to meet them personally on a regular basis, I don't have much issue with it. I do however try and get to hear every major candidate every time they come through town. McCain in 2000 was a real missed chance... McCain in 2008 was too tired, too little, too late, and not focused enough on defining a full platform. He could have won some serious concessions on nuclear power from Obama at the debates if he would have tried.
I still like Sarah Palin. It is awesome to see a woman with such strong conservative values.
As far as taking what you dish out. She attacked Obama, the political official. The media attacked her, not the political officials.
Ithink she has been paling around with the drug dealer. she had those boots on purchased by the rnc left in the belly of the plane
How about "to give credence to the sensational allegation" that Obama "pals around with terrorists"?"
Seriously? This whole thing about Trig was brought up by the blogosphere, not the media. Does she know anything?
And the liberal hate-fest continues. God, you people are pathetic.
GOV. PALIN SHOULD PAL AROUND WITH A FEW SCHOOL TEACHERS!!!!!1
Typical. Why is she blaming everyone else for her own demise? Why would Tina Fey and Catie Couric exploit her? She voluntarily went on SNL and stood beside Tina Fey. Did someone later have to tell her that Tina Fey was insulting her?
Why Can't Palin just admit that she and McCain lost because they had a poorly run campaign?
You're "salacious ignorance" had nothing to do with it right?
RE: how the media will treat Caroline Kennedy vs. Sarah Palin – the only thing is, there's a big difference between running for a junior senator seat vs. running for vice president of the United States. It comparing apples to steak. Personally, I'm hoping we don't hear too much about Caroline...and hoping we hear less about Sarah!
Look. I understand that some of the thing the media bit on was pretty bad, especially her little boy. But I can't see how she, or anyone else can look back at those atrocious interviews she did, and tell me that she didn't look ridiculous. They gave her a hard time, because she was running for Vice-President! If an aspiring brain surgeon went on TV and showed, clearly, that they knew absolutely nothing about the brain, or surgery in general, what do you think the public would want to do to that person? He wouldn't be operating on anyone, that's for sure. And everyone would have a field day on the nerve of that person to insist they become a brain surgeon without learning the craft in the first place.
Whine, whine whine... and Mann Coulter calls liberals whiners!
The Trig issue was quickly cleared up by the press. Palin is the only one who buried herself. She was – and remains – uninformed, uninspiring, and incapable of holding an office higher than the one she holds (and even THAT one is above her pay grade, as is evidenced by her questionable practices). She needs to stop blaming everyone for her shortcomings.
cnn has always been anti palin. after watching cnn during post election they seem to think that obama is their only begooton son. now that you have him lets see how you do your reporting
I wonder what the people of Alaska think of their Gov. spending tax-payers time grumbling for youtube 'documentary', instead of governing?
Gosh, what kind of crazy media circus do we have to look forward to if she decides to run in 2012? (God help us)
sarah needs to sit down and shut up... so sick of hearing her complain and blame someone for her own mistakes and problems. You dont just come from nowhere and run for vice president and not expect criticism, her personal life and childrens lives being brought in the spotlight... you cant complain and blame a star winning awards because she used your personality.
Obamas life was similar... but he didnt make alot of mistakes coming into this... he didnt come into this blindly and not letting people know somewhat who he was beforehand. He had a book out about himself first that did help. He didnt push his beliefs on others like Palin did.
Just go home, get a life, stop talking to media and maybe you will eventually get your life back?? Cuz I am so tired of hearing about it.
Seriously, who cares. We have bigger problems to worry about right now. Is this really newsworthy.
Looks like Sarah got a dictionary and a thesaurus for Christmas!
Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving.
What do these five people have in common? Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Amy Winehouse, and Sarah Palin?
Nothing in common any more. The first three have finally pulled it together and have begun to fly high. While the nasty airhead divas like Sarah Palin and Amy Winehouse are still struggling to come up to level of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsey Lohan.
Poor Sarah. Poor John. Bad Media. When will a Republican step up, admit his/her party's mistakes, and start taking responsibility for the mess they are in? The media has now been blamed for all of their woes for too long.
Look "the media" didn't nominate her to be the vice president, didn't cause her daughter to get pregnant, didn't force her to use the disgusting tactics she used during her candidacy, and didn't push forward any bad stories about Trig. Once she was nominated, "the media" simply looked into her past so the American public could know her as a candidate AND gave her airtime. It's not their fault that it took only to look beside her on stage to see a potential story and it's not their fault that should couldn't answer simple questions from Katie Couric.
So long Palin.
One word fo rSara Palin – DELUSIONAL.
Well, somebody is obviously writing this stuff for Sarah, "salacious" ?!?!?!?! I suppose she picked that up at a soccer game.
Poor Alaska! I thought Illinois was the state most shamed by the actions, antics and speeches by its governor. However, maybe Alaska should also be pushing the shame button!
I keek pushing the mute button byutton fololowd bt the power button, but she keeps coming back like one of those annoying Geico commercilas,,,,,
She had your ten weeks and clearly wasn't ready for anything let alone prime time in public service. So do us all a favor and revert back to your "denning" responisbilites or whatever it is that will make you and that lunatic evangelical fringe happy....
Say good night Graciew.....
What a bunch of haters!!!!
You people need to open your eyes and ears, this woman was wronged and should get appologies.
Mrs. Palin needs to stick to governing Alaska. Her interviews, her comments mean nothing to Americans and to the Republican Party.
Sarah, put a ipper on it.!
How this woman EVER got Elected to Governor, is beyond anyone's comprehension......She must have been just "Lucky" to get the votes...
She actually should be in a "Dukes of Hazard" show, or something....
Or if , "Hee Haw" was still on, that would be more fitting for her.....
It' truly amazing that this trailer park trash keeps in the news constantly…..I guess she must like it, especially when her knocked up daughter who had that baby out of wed-lock, and Palin thinks that good 'ol "levi" is going to be an apprentice electrician…..who is she kidding ??
I don't HIRE electricians (apprentice) who cannot get their G.E.D.
OR get a High School Diploma….. Levi cannot get his GED, because he's got his you know what up her skirt !!
Pitbulls whine?
She needs to shut up now and concentrate on being governor of Alaska. She's only hurting herself by all this whining about mistreatment.
Sarah Palin like Cynthia McKinney put her foot in her mouth every
time she opened it, then place the blame on everyone else. Bush
proved power in the hands of a fool was a dangerous thing, we did
not need her to continue this madness.
Seriously...? Come on CNN, you blow FOX out of the water and that is even with posting this crap. I get it, you guys want ratings so you post this kind of annoyance. But this just feeds a fire that should have died out a long time ago. It encourages Palin and her cohorts – after all, she is still getting air time. Please, unless she does something actually worthy of being reported on in the press (and "lashing out" with her temper tantrums is not worthy) then report on the 100's of more important, substantial issues out there.
To the idiots that have posted on this today... WAKE UP... the Media totally played the Palin matter to make her LOOK bad... She is a fine and intelligent woman that would have served our country much better than Big ears and Biden shall.. Of course Kennedy will receive the "soft shoe" from the Media... She's both a "Kennedy" and a Democrat...
I now know why Bloobers, I mean bloggers are such a joke most of the time...
Who believes the media anymore anyway all the honest hard working media personalities are gone and the new comers are bought mouth pieces. The new media personalities all have chosen sides no one reports truth anymore or at least the truth they can report. I don't even trust CNN anymore to find truthful articles! It's a sad day in America when the information provided to you as an American is as good as the roll of paper in your local gas stations restroom!
Martin,
Do you even know what you are talking about?
"Is this the same woman that falsely accused Barack Obama of palling around with terrorists?"
Who is Bill Ares? He is a self proclaimed terrorist. He calls himself that. And Bill was at the Obama residency the night he threw his hat in the presidential ring!!!
But I am sure the "messiah" can fit it.. he can just throw another 3 trillion at it until this country is so far in debt. Or perhaps you might notice how much Obama can’t speak without his teleprompter.
It is simply ironic that once she gets some of the same crap done to her as she was spouting out lies about Obama, she wants to be a victim. Well Lady, YOU can't be victim and volunteer. ... SO Shut up already. ...
Mama grizzly raises up whenever says something about my kids. So is she part pitbull and part grizzly?? Either way stop whining get alife. Where is Todd, having an affair with her best friend? They are thrash
Uh Sarah, you are an idiot. Why are you still talking, you LOST! YOU will never win , you are hated more than loved.
If Sarah P. is so concerned about truth and honesty, why did she continue to be the lying attack-dog that was spreading crap about Obama during the campaign. Apparently, bending the truth (or in her case, flat out lying) was ok during her venom-spewing nonsensical tirades.
Hey Ms. Palin in order for the nasty rumors to stop, reveal the medical records. Else it will linger on and on and on and on until it becomes true.
"salacious" is a pretty big word for a mental midget
Obviously it is the media's responsibility to re-phrase Ms. Palin's comments until they make sense and appeal to the public. For shame!
HEY SARAH ! MAYBE I SHOULD PAL AROUND WITH TONY ROMO , AND THAT'LL MAKE ME A PRO NFL QUARTERBACK.....
How dare that Tina Fey quote me verbatum. I thought SNL should have been more creative and come up with lines of their own. Those lines are mine, all mine!!!!
"Good 'ol Levi" simply is not SMART enough to get his G.E.D.
and cannot get his GED because he wouldn't get a Tutor….and still could not get a GED because he could NOT understand the Tutor…
The word 'salacious' isn't in Sarah Palin's vocabulary, or lack thereof. This woman will try anything to keep playing in the presidential game. I can't stand it for another 4 years!!!
If the media had sent as many investigative reporters to Chicago as they did to Wasilla, Alaska... they would have discovered one ot the largest corruption stories of the year in Blagojevich. Instead we did learn that Trig wasn't Bristol son. Whew Thank God for that.
FAILIN PALIN is now getting back a bit of her own toxin and is able see that it does not taste good – after her downright nastiness and deceipt in attempting to discredit Obama.
She continues to get more and more pathetic, and there is not even a VP benefit to get from it!
Why is the media still covering every little thing Sarah Palin says and does? The election was more than 2 months ago! Quit giving her so much attention and so many opportunities to complain about everything.
OMG she is back again?> I thought her time was up months ago.......ugh....
GO AWAY ALREADY....Take care of your drop out daughter and son in law....
GOODBye SARAH....please go away.
Who is Sarah Palin, and why should I care about this story?
The interviews speak for themselves.. She enjoyed SNL..... That gotcha media.
First of all – all you hateful Liberals make me sick. It’s pathetic how any headline with Palin’s name in it cues hundreds of generic unintelligent “Palin is the Anti-Christ” comments. Grow up.
Secondly – she makes a great point. The media has gotten out of control. I’ve never seen such bias in an election. Every major network anchor/reporter might have well been wearing “Vote for Obama” shirts on air. Had Palin been on the Democratic ticket she would have been portrayed as a goddess. I guarantee Caroline Kennedy will hardly be scratched by the media.
I know it’s hard for you far lefties to see, but if you are on the right or in the middle (like me) it is very apparent. This should concern everyone, regardless of political views.
Good for her! I dont understand why everyone is on here case!! Maybe because were all a little threatened???? I think she would do a darn good job in office. This whole election was based on Racism and Sexism in a time where we should be better than that as a county!! Where were all the people helping others sign up to vote when bush was running? Where were all the people who were volunteering to drive people to vote when bush was running? NO WHERE, thats where! Everyone wanted so bad to "not have" and African American president, or "not have" a Women as Vice-president. Lets all get over ourselve and base our thoughts and actions on whats best for us as a country.
LEAVE THE FAMILIES OUT OF ALL THIS!!! Obamas two girls and palins 5 kids should NOT be allowed to be part of everyones negativity. I think that is a line that should NOT be crossed!
I love the coverage of Palin. She's entertaining. It's comical to see her consitantly blaming the media, the McCain camp and everyone else for the public perception of her. The comments that she's taken the most heat for were not reported out of context. They were her words and they made her seem unintelligent. I don't think she's a dumb person. In fact, I get the sense that she's probably pretty smart. I also get the sense that she's very out of touch with life in the lower 48. With time, experience, exposure and training she's going to be around for years. Get used to it and enjoy the ride.
Wow... You people are sooooo funny. Just typing away at your little keyboards. Funny how you say things on line you wouldn't say in public. Here is a fact, Sarah Palin has accomplished more in her life and is indeed probably smarter than ever single one of you. But that just eats you up doesn't it..... Let's all see how you feel in 4 years after your great hope has run the course. See I want the best for my country and hope Obama succeeds. But it's not encouraging when he wants to spend a trillion dollars on stimulus when history shows that doesn't work. Who is the stupid person now... Liberals wouldn't know a balanced budget if it bit them in the butt.
This woman went to six colleges and this is the best she can do?
Poor Sarah, you were able to come out and make yourself look good and talk a good (scripted and rehearsed) game....guess you thought no one would be able to see that behind your plastic facade.....that absolutely nothing was there. You have asked for everything you're getting....you just can't take it. Do yourself a favor......shut up and stay in Alaska where you belong.
Why did she have on those boots, purchased by the RNC that were return donated, or left in the belly of the plane?
If you can't stand the heat, stay in Alaska.
Palin and her family are the joke they have become. If she had not been picked to be VP no one give her two seconds of their time and her family would just evoke smiles.
Go play with the family's pet moose..or did you shoot it for fun?
You Liberals are all the same. You want women to have power, unless they are with the party of the enemy. You are the same people that cry about those killed in Iraq yet hold "a mother's right to choose" dear to your heart.
Death is wrong unless, apparently, you are trying to get rid of an unwanted person in your life. Face it, life starts at conception and anyone that agrees to abortion is agreeing to murder. Anyone against the war because of the killing that supports Pro-Choice is a hypocrite. Either life is scared or it's not.
It is bad enough that the woman appears to be ignorant of her own actions and words and the picture they portray of her, but why does the press and media have to frenzy around her pitiful projections. The woman does not deserve the attention she is getting.
RIGHTWING NUT JOB
Obama = affirmative action?
Oh really? Then you don't know much about law schools or the Law Reviews at law schools.
In order to make editor of your school's Law Review, you have to be pretty darned brilliant.
You don't make Law Review with affirmative action.
How ignorant is THAT poster. Ugh
I hope she stays in the media. I hope she continues to be exposed for her true essence. Tell us more, Governor Palin, please, bestow upon us your wisdom. It's what you want, right Governor?
The people have spoken, just as you literally said you wanted in your campaign. They said we want Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden to lead us. Take the hint, please.
Gov Palin is absolutely right. Most of the media has lost all credibility for me due to the distortions, half truths and outright lies repeated by them as gospel. Most of these were of course unjustifiably directed toward Gov Palin. Many of these distortions, half truths and lies are still believed and repeated as fact by the uninformed few.
She is really not very interesting anymore. She lost the election and it is time to move on. Too many whiners in this country just like all the people who gave all their money to Bernard Madoff. Rule #1 – Always diversify your holdings. Nobody takes any responsibility for their own lives anymore. That is why this country is a mess.
"crowds that Obama pals around with terrorists and have people introduce her who involk Obama's middle name as a slur, and whipping crowds into homocidal anger is something far worse than anything media has done."
Um – what do you call Bill Ayers – the man who financed the start of Obama's political career? He's an unapologetic terrorist who bombed federal buildings, tried to kill a federal judge and police officer and had planned to bomb a military dance – killing our own soldiers.
Go after Palin – she was fair game. But her kids were not. No one talked about Obama's kids, no one speculated about the parentage of his children. That crossed the line.
SarahCuda 2012!
Funny–everyone loves the media when it's convenient and hates the media when it's not.
ENOUGH. I've seen this idiot more since the election is over than I did of John McCain for two years.
I'm sure every time she runs her mouth that the McCain campaign hits themselves in the head.
I feel Sarah's pain. I know how it feels to absorb all the like tomorrow and politics of the media to get the substance of the foreign Putin who is Un- American and raises his head.
I say thanks but no thanks to everybody who pardon a Turkey because the election in November with Joe the plumber for Sarah's wardrobe on the campaign trail in American airspace maverick reform.
If you cannot understand what I just wrote its because you never went to the same school that Sarah and I did.
Palin was out of her league, period, she thought she was a mover and a shaker but she is at best TPT at best. She lacks social grace and elegance.
Smile, wink wink
But notice how she never actually denies the rumor that Trig is not her son...
Someone in that room should interrupt Blago!
What a sicko!
Sorry, CNN, but you haven't got a blog for this press conference....
Matt January 9th, 2009 12:25 pm ET
As dumb as she is, she's absolutely right (for once). All the media cares about is making sure the price of the advertising time and space that they sell is as high as possible….that means having a high share of the market for viewership/readership and a high click count on websites. How do you do that?
Step 1 – Understand that Americans are starving for controversy and gossip.
Step 2 – Report EVERYTHING as though it is a controversy even though it is just gossip.
Matt! You are the Genius! With all the questions about why Sarah is still in the news you alone formulated it correctly. It is exactly what happens and will happen, and the folks will love it. Sarah will not go away so easily.
PLEASE GO AWAY PLEASE SHUT UP ALLREADY ENOUGH
I normally just scroll through the ignorant ranting of ignorant liberals, but man I gotta tell you, anyone who cannot see that Gov. Palin is FAR more qualified than BO, is just nuts. The only reason liberals hate her is because she is qualified, and she is beautiful. Show me a beautiful liberal and I will kiss your you know what. Liberals are only alive to be a victim, and if they can't be a victim, they invent something in order to be considered a victim. When BO and the Clinton gang run this country into the ditch or God forbid we are attacked again, who are they going to call on to fix it? That would be conservatives, and personally I would like to line up all the folks who voted for this affirmative action potus, but trust me, when the crap hits the fan, they will all deny voting for him. Liberals don't even understand that we have fought wars so that they could have the freedom to spew their venom, nothing good is going to come of any of this.
t
I have had more than enough of the constant updates of this wanna-be's every thought.
I. Don't. Care. What. Palin. Thinks.
Stop stop STOP giving us all these stories about Palin. They are ALWAYS the least important stories on CNN.com.
I search the internet every day for stories about her. They always make me laugh in these difficult times. The lady should be given her own comedy show – that way we might be able to laugh with her instead of at her.
Sarh has been palling around with the drug dealer
If she wants to put the Trig rumors to rest, she only needs to release her medical history which was properly requested prior to the campaign and which the other candidates released. The narrative of events involving her labor and delivery Trig, if reported correctly on the internet, indicate to any literate reader either extreme risk-taking with an unborn's safety or, at worst, a deception as to maternity.
She can say that Barack Obama was pallin around with terrorist. Show she can dish it, but can't take it.
Yes, the media was biased.... the whole coverage of the elections was a joke.... so much for "unbiased media"... those days are gone.
I WISH WE WOULD STOP GIVING THIS WOMEN SO MUCH ATTENTION, IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON. PLEASE, LET'S MOVE ON.
Way to speak up for yourself Sarah. Journalists are unashamedly biased.
Katie Couric in asking the question ,,,,, What newapaper do you read Mrs Palin as far as i am concerned just wanted too see What Mrs Palin was like as a Normal person ,,,and had Nothing against her in any way ... And Mrs Palin has Blown this out of proportions
Sarah loves to blame everybody for everything.
She has no spine, takes no responsibility, and believes only in her own infallibility.
And every time she opens her mouth she seems even dumber.
O.K. just because you fought to help save young childrens lives still does not give Blago the right to sell his political seat.
Hey Sarah, is it raining in Russia? Please tell me what news paper I can read to find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need to stop blaming sarah and take our fustration to the person who went all the way to Alaska to bring her to our view, and also the Media that are filming her face to expose to our view. McCain should be arrested and jailed for this calamity he has put us under. So leave Sarah alone, leave her be. Just don't read any article or view any interview she is giving. As simple as that. She has the right to speak and you have the right to not listen. Remember, she always knew that Alaska was the whole world, but she now discovers that the world extends beyond Alaska, let she knock herself out of excitement.
WHO CARES!!
One more thing ... I believe Downs Syndrome is also prevalent in young teen mothers and they are the second highest risk group.
As much as I hate her, I hate McCain even more. Everything she did she was instructed to do from him and his low-life advisors. While she is (supposed) to be an adult and did chose this route to the WH, I hold him more accountable. He's a coward that hid behind some boobs. Both their chickens are coming home to roost....
Martin January 9th, 2009 12:27 pm ET
Is this the same woman that falsely accused Barack Obama of palling around with terrorists?
====================================================
Ayers Is a terrorist and Obama got his start in politics in Ayers home. It is fact. Prove me wrong.
You can't, your just another moron that has an Opinion with no Facts to back it up.
Palin, you have to understand that when you're a Vice Presidential candidate, you will be scrutined by the media. The Couric interviews were very generous, fair and balanced. Those interviews exposed Palin's complete lack of intellectual depth and curiousity. That has to be irritating for Palin, but very valuable for those considering her as a candidate.
What republican does not know what the Bush doctrine is? Answer Sarah Palin. Wink wink now there you go again Joe
Independent bloggers are not journalists, can't anyone differentiate? The main stream media did not repeat as truth these rumors, they never validated these rumors. The media did not treat her better or worse than any other candidate–all she is doing is trying to keep the mantra going about the "liberal" media to deflect the attention from her own inadequacies, a tatic begun by republican candidatesin the 70s and pretty much discredited. She was not ready for the national stage - neither the questions nor the issues (she apparently had never thought about many of the issues facing this country). Just like the Enron boys, the Congress, Bush its always someone else's fault.
This woman will do anything to keep the media attention she criticizes so much. Why cant she just go away already? She and McCain lost, its over, deal with it!
I have to wonder if this is all a PR tactic to keep her name out there.
She's the one who put herself out there like that.
Kevin in Ohio says, "the media bias and left wing hatred and vitriol is obvious to anyone with half a brain." Yeah, but what about those of us with *entire* brains? Oh, that's right, we rejected the Republican party for its nearly decade-long war on reason, compentency, and progress. Sarah Palin's very own vitriolic comments on Obama were entirely uncalled for. Palls around with terrorists? Quick, someone call the feds!
Sarah Palin – A hubcap spinning down the road after a bad accident.
I agree, although it doesn't change my vote in the election. People I voted for said stupid things and the press overlooked it! All because the press was rooting for the same person I voted for – but that doesn't excuse the press – be impartial!!
GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don't Bristol's boyfriend and the baby get a paternal test and then the truth will come out. If he's the father then Sarah has some explaining to do....Either she slept with her daughters BF or the baby belongs to Bristol
Palin should have said no to McCain for the selection to be VP, she has not helped the ticket at all, but McCain has also demonstrated his lack of judgement by picking Palin. Both have very low IQ. She has to continue to take care of the tundra, the snow, her children and grand children and watch Putin and Medvedev from the window of her bedroom.
She is truly the gift that keep on giving. The more she speaks, the dumber she sounds. I hope the Repubs nominate her for 2012 right away–don't let her get away–we need a permanent Repub minority.
Wow. She just doesn't get it! I don't think she ever will. She is showing what an horrible amatuer she really is. I guess she forgot that some of the nastiest and most fradulent accusations came out of HER mouth in this campaign!
Will someone she trusts please sit her down and explain to her that the American people can think for themselves and the majority of us, I beleive, find her to be very unprepared emotional, or intellectually to hold high office. No wonder the McCain kept her on a short lease. Look at how she's acting now.
She needs a new nickname, "Say Anything Sarah." I hope it sticks.
Please, GOP, please put her on the ticket in 2012!
IT WAS GOD'S WILL THAT SHE LOST, AND THAT SHE'S A FRIGGIN' IDIOT.
"GOD'S WILL" IS HER FAVORITE SAYING.
She's right!! From Fox News to MSNBC and all the papers, you can't believe crap anymore. Unfortunately u can't belive politicians either
Once again, any seconds for nominating Palin for Hypocrite of the Year?
It just keeps getting better and better...
Frankly, if you are going to run a campaign on "Family Values" and put down opponents for lacking morals - you just put yourself up for excessive scrutiny, esp when your 15yr old daughter gets pregnant.
Run on a campaign of improving the economy and the media wouldnt have cared two bits about your personal life.
Enuf about this loser, please.
to Disappointed, marc, Linda Lee, Kevin in Ohio, NC Independent and the rest of the republican neocons that come to visit CNN, honestly, why do you people even come to CNN?
Just to show us how hypocritical you all really are?
Why would you subject yourselves to such 'liberal' drival?
Oh, that's right......YOU ARE ALL HOLIER THAN THOU!
We VOTED your idiot leaders out and have replaced them with more intelligent folks.
BEFORE you complain about the 'liberals' REMEBER it's YOU REPUBLICAN/INDEPENDENTs that have RUINED THIS COUNTRY.
By the way......I LIKE KOOLAID......you guys got a problem with that?
Falin is a CRY BABY!
SUCH AN UGLY WOMAN!!!
The difference between Kennedy and Palin is, of course, the fact that Palin is a complete dingbat. There is little to report about Kennedy other than her relative lack of experience, since she is well educated and highly intelligent. Such as.
Jack . Sara Palin is like your sister-in-law you can relate to her but you wish she would keep her mouth shut because every time she talks her lack of common knowledge just comes out whether she want's it to or not.
You would've thought she learned something along the campaign trail, but it is evident she didn't. She is her own worst enemy the more she talks the more she is going to be fodder. Maybe she did learn something afterall!
Sarah came out swingin' during her national debut and the RNC. Now she's whining about people swinging back. Politics is a dirty business, Sarah. When you sling mud, don't cry when someone throws it back at you.
After reading most of this long list of comments, I'm guessing that the Obama headquarters sent out a text message to all their volunteer bloggers to do their part for Change, and "destroy the Palin brand."
Steve – you incredible moron!
"... January 9th, 2009 12:27 pm ET
I can't believe what I am hearing. Governor Palin criticizes the press for reporting "salacious" remarks, but she had no qualms about accusing President-Elect Obama of palling around with terrorists?"
He did pal around with terrorists! I remember the Weather Underground from when I was in High School, Ayers, Dorn the entire sticking lot of them.
If you boy is such a genius, why did he not know who he was talking to?
Or is this just another case of the Media selected winner getting a free ride?
BTW – Did he ever figure out his family tree?? See his Memorial Day 2008 speech about the invisible uncle that fought with the Red Army
Why oh WHY is this backwooded woman still talking? people are going to say what they want and as of late I haven't seen any more threads about "trig" man talk about wanting to be seen and heard.
oh well maybe she can "walk to russia" man give it up already, you are not enough of anything yet alone strong enough to lead this country
buh-BYE
Hey "disappointed", you've had eight years to act righteous, it's the democrat's turn, and quit making personal attacks, that's what fools do when they run out of valid arguments to make. And Shaggy: Affirmative Action didn't help Obama get through a tough school like Harvard, nor get elected president. He is who he is because he is smarter than you!
Lady........just go.......AWAY!!!!
this woman would have been a perfect in the paranoid, delusional world of the bush administration.
what do you suppose would be said about a woman politican from the Democratic party who had a unmarried teenager with a new born baby who's other grandma was just busted for drugs?
your feeble attempt to keep your name in the news is just pathetic.
She needs to stop crying. She was and is a complete joke. She's a freaking idiot who didn't know anything. No one took anything out of context. She had the nerve to say if she had been on the democratic ticket, the people would have loved here. Is she on crack? Her political party affiliation has nothing to do with her ignorance.
Oh please, enough already with this Ding Dong! The GOP mascot must go away. I can't take this idiot anymore!
Sarah, needs to get over it and go away! she did not make as a beauty queen nor as VP. John McCain sure opened Pandora's box with this one. Blagojevich and Sarah Palin, please go away!
Want some cheese with that whine? Of course Caroline Kennedy has been treated softer by media. For one thing she is not an idiot. Second she does not hold huge rallies spouting off devisive, vile comments based on total fabrications. Third she does not condone people yelling about killing people at her events. Sarah is not even close to Ms. Kennedy's league. Do us a favor and don't open your mouth except to eat.
say what?????? Palling around with terrorists, witchcraft, underage pregnancy, shoot the polar bears from the chopper, no credentials, barely got a degree in communications, mayor of Vasilla, and governor of the duhhh state. Need l say more....
While there are so many people who are up on Sarah Palin, I'm surprised the fact that Palin is the governor of a state that ranks 46th in the nation in population, and that there are 16 U.S. cities that have more people than her state.
She looked like a nitwit because she wasn't prepared. Plain and simple. If she admitted that, it would be better than complaining about the media coming after me. Sorry. It's not the media I'm afraid of. It's the self righteous that keeps me awake at night.
