(CNN) - Sarah Palin is taking aim at White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, characterizing the top Obama aide as an irresponsible liar.
"Rahm, u lie," Palin wrote on Twitter Sunday after Emanuel said on ABC's This Week that Republican Rep. Joe Barton's controversial apology to BP last week exposed the political philosophy of the Republican Party.
"That's not a political gaffe, those are prepared remarks," said Emanuel. "That is a philosophy."
"RahmEmanuel= as shallow/narrowminded/political/irresponsible as they come,to falsely claim Barton's BP comment is "GOP philosophy," Palin also tweeted in reply to Emanuel's comments.
The White House has not responded to Palin's comments.
At a House committee hearing Thursday intended to grill BP CEO Tony Hayward, Barton instead drew the headlines for an opening statement that apologized to BP over the $20 billion account to pay damage claims that the company created at the request of President Barack Obama.
Barton's statement – which was quickly retracted under pressure from House GOP leadership – provided Democrats an opportunity to deflect growing public disenchantment with how the government was responding to the oil disaster.
Acknowledging the political gift handed to his party by Barton, Emanuel also said on ABC that Barton's comment and other pro-BP statements by Republicans including Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul would be a factor in the November congressional elections.
"In case you forgot what Republican governance is like, Joe Barton reminded you," Emanuel said, adding the GOP considers BP the "aggrieved party" instead of the oil giant responsible for the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.
However, a statement later Sunday from the House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans said Barton spoke off the cuff. The statement included what it said were his prepared remarks, which made no mention of an apology to BP or criticism of the fund the company created to pay for damages from the oil
spill.
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of oil-rich Alaska also challenged Emanuel's comments, telling the CNN program "State of the Union" that the White House chief of staff was wrong.
UPDATE: White House spokesman Bill Burton responded to Palin's tweet Monday in the daily briefing with reporters.
"As a leader of the Republican Party, people would be interested in knowing whether or not she thinks that, as Congressman Barton said, that $20 billion set aside in a fund to pay the claims of people who have been harmed by the BP oil spill was a shakedown. I don't think that the American people think that," Burton said.

Palin is an idiot. What is she? 12? 13?
Says alot about her supporters
No, Mr.Emmanuel is not wrong. This is what 8 years of Republican deregulation has done to this country and it's citizens. Mining disasters by companies that couldn't care less about safety and an oil industry with its regulating agency in its pocket, creating the worst environmental disaster in this country's history!
We know that Republicans favor big business over the citizens of this country, but to apologize to BP for making them pay for what they've done? Unconscionable! I hope the voters remember this in NOvember!
palin accusing anyone of lying? LOL– that certainly is the pot calling the kettle black....YES the GOP lies– that's a shock...
Those were prepared opening remarks, designed to establish a completely different course the GOP planned to take with handling BP from the White House. Rahm Emmanual is completey correct in his assessment. Everybody knows the Republicans are just pandering to Big Oil, it's disgusting. They would sell out America, its people, everything in a heartbeat if they thought they could make a buck or two and undermine the current administration.
Wonderful people, doin' what they can to destroy America!
Hey Sarah,
the truth hurts, doesn’t it?
"Rahm, u lie" – this is output of someone who almost became our Vice President !! If the guns and bible-thumping speech didn't scare you enough, then tweeting as if you were a teenager should do the trick.
Nobody cares what Sarah Palin thinks. Nobody with a brain at least. She couldn't even finish ONE term as Gov! She is poorly-informed on almost all issues and appears to have little interest in policy, just making herself more money. I hope she runs in 2012, go Obama!
Yes it is true we have some many freedoms in this country, incl;iding the freedon to express our opinions, but it is time someone stop that oportunistic woman and make her SHUT UP!. Saint Sarah has nothing to offer to our country other than her foul mouth, but the fault does not fall on her but in the so called "conservative republicans" that are her followers, Sarah and Rush are verbal terrorists and the media and the country would benefit by not playing to their game and just ignore them.
Why do news outlets and all the media keep wasting space with what this wack job of a woman says? No one is listening to her with a real mind. She speaks from a place she knows not of. Keeps trying to be intellectual and fails miserably everytime. Thanks McCain!
lets face RUSH runs the republican party no one dares to challenge
him because if they do they are history and that is a fact and everyone
knows it so what Joe Barton said does represent how the party feels
they can't think independent of each other if they do they are history
do you think Barton is going to lose his job it is all smoke and mirrors
wait and see
Is there anyone who doesn't think that the Republicans want to let big business write its own rules? What does the phrase "small government" mean if it doesn't mean less regulation? The reason the MMS is in a shambles is because that is the way the Republicans run regulatory agencies.
And once again, why does the news media report everything Sarah Palin says? She won't sit for real interviews, she just sits there behind her Twitter account tweeting out her absurd remarks.
Why would the White House respond to this? If she wants to behave like a 14-year old, let her.
Pot calling kettle black...news at 11:00
I'm sorry, but Sarah Palin doesn't have the integrity to call anyone else a liar. All she does is lie and mislead. She is worth less than the dirt I scrape off my shoe.
And as far as Barton's statements not reflecting the GOP's view... he's not the only one who's made such statements. Haley Barbour, Marsha Blackburn, and other Republican illuminaries have been falling all over themselves to cry that we're being too mean to BP. The GOP is in the pocket of big oil, they're addicted to the money that big oil pours into their campaign funding, and they have more loyalty to corporations than they do to the American people. Palin should know that, because when it comes to grabbing money, she's one of the worst offenders; she wouldn't even serve out her time in office because she was more interested in book and speaking fees.
Rahm is a corrupt as they come. I don't believe anything out of his mouth. Obama promised to change things in Washington but he brought in corrupt Chicago politicians.
Will the madness about this imbecile woman and every brain fart she has ever stop?
WHO CARES what this ex-everything she has ever done in her life does or says?
She is NOT a politician. She is a has been who has a stupid twitter account, no less, and the media just can't let her go.
If she thinks Emanuel is a liar she should look in the mirror. Maybe she doesn't recognize herself due to the Botox and those two perkynew girls.
Shawloe/narrowminded/irresponsible? Is she talking about herself? I left out politician because she is a nobody!
i sincerely hope that when her star finally fades she goes away just lke anna nicole smith did.
Sarah my dear, do you realize that every time you open your your mouth there is nothing but lies that come out of your mouth. Do you really think the white house is going to comment on your statement. I am sure they have better and more important things to do besides responding to a quitter like you. Why dont you just stick and stay with fox news they are your kind of people.
Palin, on the other hand is a bastion of truth. It's like backwards day!
Question-Does anyone really believe after hearing her talk that Palin acutally writes her facebook or even twitter? And talking about calling the kettle black-YOU LIE FALLIN PALIN! all the time. You said that we did not accept help from those that offer-Wrong! How about Mexico, the Dutch and Norway to start with. President Obama also has financial help for those people that will be out of work while the oil rigs are shut down for 6 months. How can any of you older than 10 follow this woman?
Typical. Coming from someone who wouldn't know a lie when she told one.
Darn I wish this women was the vice president of America , hope is not a plan folks
Hey Sarah ,You are one Pathological Liar!!!
The "Great One" should have spent more time figuring out how to stop the leak first! The leak is still going strong and he spent his weekend attending baseball games and golfing.
What Barton said (and Palin reiterates) is that in the United States a party is innocent until proven guilty. Is BP guilty? Yes, it would appear. Should they cover costs of cleanup if found responsible? ABSOLUTELY!! No one (including Barton, Palin, or the GOP) is saying otherwise. What is incredibly scary is the president is acting like the judge, jury, and executioner without due process. THIS IS WHAT BARTON AND PALIN ARE SAYING!! We now have a president who not only thinks he is ABOVE the law but also believes he IS the law. The Democrat party cares nothing about the people (since their power is more important than the people) and those of you who can't see it will be the first to complain when you find out in 10 or 15 years that you have a country collapsing and any remnants of freedom are gone. Time for you to wake up and realize what the Democrat Party is trying to do. Only the unintelligent cannot see what is occurring by the Democrat Party.
does any lucid, thinking individual in their right mind really care what that woman says or thinks?
Why do we care what Palin says? We all should be very concerned about what Barton said? He received a huge campaign contribution from BP – what a surprise!
So he says to look upon the actual performance of Barton and judge for yourself whether this person is a loyal citizen. Now St. Sarah and St. Lisa want to call him a liar because he asks you to judge on the evidence. Palin wants to tell you what to think, that you are incapable of judging for yourself. He is right about Barton and he is right about these two empty-headed twits who like being praised because their people are fascists.
Sara puts the "twit" in twitter.
What did he lie about Sarah? TImes up nothing, the Rapeublicans are funded by big oil. You lost get over it!
Palin is a abnormal fool who has nothing else better to do but to start mess. Personally i don't trust rahm, i think my president should of picked someone else. President Obama is doing a wonderful job who is surrounde bt deceit.
We all know what the GOP thinks of Big Business. Let them run free, lower their taxes, cut their regulations, allow them to pollute, poison, etc. etc.
This whole story reminds us of George H W Bush stating that "it's never been proven that cigarettes cause cancer" all the while taking in big money from big tobacco.
The problem with their philosophy is that helping big biz does NOT help the economy....as has been PROVEN over the last several decades under Reagan and both Bushes.
So no, Sarah Palin...U LIE, and we all know it.
DRILL BABY DRILL PALIN is wrong again . When is she going to get something right. She should go back to Alaska and take care of her kids and be a MOTHER for a change.
Here's an idea. stick Palin in the bottom of that pipe and see if she can stop the oil. If she can't, well it would still be fun to watch and no loss.
Sarah, put this in your tweeter and tweet it: Rahm spoke the truth, as did Barton. Everyone who is not a republican knows what the republican party is all about: money, power, and more money. It has nothing to do with human beings and it certainly has nothing to do with this Country. You see, we Democrats have known all this for years. It is the republicans who have been dazzled by abortion rights, gun rights, and lower taxes that were not in the "know". Well now they are and I dare say your dysfunctional party has lost quite a few voters with this realization.
Rahm is right. The GOP couldn't care less about the environment or the people of the Gulf Coast. They have a policy of supporting big oil at any cost. Sarah, go away. You are the liar and have no idea what you are talking about. Stupid, vapid women.
Palin is an idiot (imagine that). Emmanuel it called right on the nose. Barton read prepared statements and has revealed, once again, the true allegiance and nature of the GOP. The GOP would rather save their own worthless hides and those of Big Oil and Big Business rather than to see justice done and their constituents concerns represented.
And talk about "the pot calling the kettle black", Sarah, the epitome of "political irresponsibility" is walking out on your constituents before your term of office up. You also lied to them when you took your oath of office because you failed to serve them as you were sworn to do. You're as shallow as they come. When the outside money got good, you walked out on your constituents and pursued only your own self interests. Your narrow minded attitude is more then painfully exposed every time you post or speak...
Barton is a jerk. Palin is a boob. And yes Barton's remarks ARE GOP oil policy..... I wish Boob Palin would shut her mouth.
'The White House has not responded to Palin's comments.'
No one else should respond either–When I grew up in the late sixties when a child (Palin) was acting out the adults would ignore them and then that child would get somewhere and settle down. Palin needs to be ignored: Commit to not responding to any news about her.
Now one would think that when is comes to lying, Sarah Palin would be the resident expert. I mean she even comes up with lies about the lies, what are about the lies. However, it this case she is dead wrong and sorry she can't help it and is lying again.
So, forget about the rhetoric and take a few intelligent moments and look at the action. The Republican party has been in bed with big oil for years and years, fighting to give them big tax breaks, big profits and big bonuses to their executives. Did any of the benefits of this corporate welfare flow down to YOU the average CONSUMER. What are you paying for gasoline now compared to 1999? Look it up!!! So YOU as the TAXPAYER GET to pay for HUGE executives bonuses, but also GET TO pay HUGE premiums to fill up your car.
So, I really do think we should all say "we're sorry" to the big, poor, responsible, oil companies. My heart is bleeding.
Obviously struck a nerve, eh? Republican principles consist of LIES, HYPOCRISY, OBSTRUCTION. If American voters were just a shade smarter than a slug, the GOP would have gone the way of the Whig Party of long ago.
shallow/narrowminded/political/irresponsible?
Now isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.
She continues to amaze me with her total stupidity and lack of intelligence. I think it's time that the "death panel" rules on her.
Wait.... Death Panel/Can't Fulfil her term as governor/Comments on speeches after she has already confirmed she didnt watch them Palin is calling someone else.. umm... shallow/narrowminded/political/irresponsible... Am i missing something here?
Facts are facts,..sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow.
Follow the money Palin had best sit this one out.
And by getting in the fray Palin shows what everybody knows, the Regpugs are the owned by Big Business. That was Emanuel’s point and by Plain getting her panties in a wad over the statement she just proves him right.
Sorry Sarah but Rahm Emanuel is right on target with you lying repubs, every day repubs do absolutely nothing but whine and lie to get their way, completely forgetting their job is to uplift the American People, not keep dragging and dumming them down.
Rahm, you spoke the truth. People ARE forgetting what the GOP stands for, too. BIG OIL, WALL STREET, and the DRUG COMPANIES.
Wish she'd just shut up and go away.
Palin doesn't understand the difference between opinion and lie. Emanuel's remarks about GOP philosophy are an opinion of what the GOP philosopy really is.
Rahm is telling the TRUTH....something most Republicans never do. Barton should be run out of town on the horse he rode in on, which I'm sure was a jackass. To apologize to BP that we the people expect them to pay for their damages to our beautiful Gulf is unbelievable....not to mention the 11 lives that were taken…Drill Baby Drill... caribou Barbie Palin, would not know the truth if it bit her in the butt. I guess the truth hurts if you are not used to it......How’s the winkey, lying going for ya caribou Barbie???
Palin is a very successful former governor. She took major credit for a $40B pipeline across Alaska. With all her executive experience, especially in the oil and gas field, why has she been totallyh silent and not offered some viable solutions to the BP spill and clean-up? Did she not learn anything from her vast executive experience? Or is she now too distracted with her breast augmentation to think of anything else? Put her mouth over the BP well to stop the oil flow. She should be able to handle that.
I will like to point out to Ms. Palin that the Republican Study Group, consisting of 119 conservative House Republicans, released a statement calling the fund a "Chicago-style political shakedown."
That is the title of their statement. They call a fund set up by BP to compensate the victims of the Gulf oil spill a political shakedown. Please explain that, Ms. Palin.
Nor should they respond. Palin has essentially become a troll. To dignify her name-calling at someone expressing an opinion is ridiculous. She's degenerated into childlike behavior, throwing her tantrums more and more loudly until someone gives her the attention she craves.
Palin just needs to turn it off and go away. What kind of ideas come from someone who quit her job halfway through her first term? Every word from a GOP senator or rep that I have heard so far (including Ohio Rep. John Boehner in my neighboring district) tells me the Republicans are on the side of big business and not the people in the Gulf – a belief that echoes Rep. Barton's comments.
Palin yet again shows that she's a classless, loudmouthed idiot.
Sorry Sarah, you're the liar. You've been caught lying several times over your career as political trash talker...after you gave up and ran away from your job as Governor of Alaska.
Your words are as meaningless as your religion.
I believe it is a philosophy for many in the Republican party - if you take the republican philosophy of personal responsibility - BP should be the only one working to fix this mess in the Gulf and the government should butt out!!
Would you rely on corporations to protect you from their products!?!?! Do the right thing? I would not.....
And she did this via twitter, why???? OH that's because it's the big girl thing to do and OH SO professional for a presidential "wanna-be" to do. such a loser!
Amazing how Palin always finds time to defend the undefenseable. This ignorant woman continues to amaze us with her petty, narrowminded and mean-spirited words. All this from a woman who just a year or so ago, didn't even read a newspaper.
Here we go, Palin must be out of words to say, so here comes the lie word again,socialist,muslim, Obama is not an America, Obama is going to kill your grandmom, and Joe Barton opology never happen.give it a rest palin.people know what your up to.
I don't think what Barton said is GOP philosophy but,,,Barton's bad judgement gave the Dems this fodder. Blame Barton and get rid of him.
...Sarah Palin tweeted... 'Nuff said.
barton meant what he said and most republicans agree with him.they wont say it n publib.he only apoligize bcause he was forced 2 so he could keep his job
This rich. The number mama grizzly who continously misrepresents the truth is calling someone a liar.
Mrs. Palin never ceases to amaze.
Hey Sarah if you are going to call someone a liar do so to their face, using Twitter is being a coward, but that is just you. I happen to agree that the Repubs are and have been in bed with big oil for a long time (Bush/Cheney) Does anyone wonder why big mouth Cheney has not said one word about this disaster$$$$
All the kids at school love Twitter.
Barton generally says what he believes. He did apologize but in his heart, he meant it.
based on her latest tweets, i actually believe she wrote THOSE (and those only). Since they were just short of incoherent, they were obviously a product of her trying to use her mobile device.
Ever notice her Facebook postings? Well crafted, well written, and nothing like her rantings off the cuff.
Why doesn't she give a press conference? Let's see her in front of the main stream media. Let's see all those folks who are campaigning in front of the main stream media. hiding is just that....hiding.
Drill. Baby Drill! That's her philosophy. What a world what a world (quick, what movie was that last line from?)
Sarah Palin is the definition of empty headed uneducated fool, what she should use her mouth for is not speaking but taking in things, big things, and swallowing it, in hopes the protein will go to the part of her head where her brain should have been, she cant take care of her own family, knocked up teenage daughter which she allowed the boy to sleep with, maybe her and todd watching, and a little waterhead baby, no doubt from her bad genes, so while some of you inbred fools and perverts really feel she has anything worthwhile to say, its because of your own screwed up DNA as well, I wish there was a law to make stupid people shut up, and the idiots that wink one eyes at ya, kicked out the usa, he is a true embarrassment to the usa, the other countries are really getting a good laugh at us because of this fool, and her hillbilly family.
But it is the GOP philosophy! Reagan even said it when he was running against Jimmy Carter. I watched the debate.
Palin should be the last person to listen too about lieing. She does it all the time and has been caught in so many of them even Fox News is having trouble with it (ask Bill O)
Why does anyone ever quote this lady anyway? Her 15 min. of fame has faded
Palin needs to accept that she will never play an active role in politics due to her limited intellectual abilities and subpar ethics. She may make underachievers feel good about themselves, but we need smart honest people making decisions on a state and national level. The country and her family would be better served if she were to direct her energies to a more helpful goal – perhaps research for how to prevent or treat Down’s syndrome. Just imagine if she had put all of her ‘star power’ behind something positive.
My goodness, Sarah calling someone else a liar, it must take one to know one.
This rich. The number one mama grizzly who continously misrepresents the truth is calling someone a liar.
Mrs. Palin never ceases to amaze.
Rahm Emanuel reminds one of a gangster type. Wonder why?
Of course Rahm Emanuel lies. He is part of the Chicago mob isn't he?
Funny how politicians tip-toe around calling each other liars, especially when it came to Death Panel Palin.
I'd have to say, I'm kinda relieved that someone was willing to call another politician out on this. Too bad it was one of the worst offenders.
Clearly she's prepared to solve all of the complex problems facing this country.
Well, if anyone's the expert on lying....
That said, Rahm made a stupid and unhelpful statement.
This loser needs to go back to shooting animals from helicopters. This comes from a person the quit being a Governor after two years to go on the speaking circuit.. The close minded people(most racist) that pay to see here are being pimped!!!!!!
Um... it's his OPINION, Sarah. And of course, it's also politics. But how is that a "LIE"? It's not like he was covering something up... he was just calling it like he sees it. It's an evaluative comment that in no way purports to be communicating some kind of empirical fact. Oh dear. She won't understand "purports," will she?
Rahm is a lying political thug and good for Sarah Palin for calling him out! Another reason why a President Palin is what America needs!
As if we believe what that woman would say. Please, CNN, you're supposed to be a news agency, not a tabloid.
Funny this is coming from the idealouge that spouted, "drill, baby, drill." Of course off shore drilling is part of the Conservative philosophy. They have been preaching it for decades, but suddenly want to distance themselves during an election year and in liue of one of the worst man-made ecological disasters in history...
1. Who cares what Palin says? She is a miserable failure as a politician, parent, and in general – human.
2. What Rahm Emmanuel said is as obvious to any informed, thinking and intellectually honest American that it does not really need to be said. If he committed any sin, it was belaboring the obvious, not lying.
3. The Bush-Bush-Cheny-Palin-Barton- ... -BP-Chevron-Exxon- ... -Beezubub-Baal oil cabal are like roaches. When exposed they run for the cracks in the toilet tile. Palin is merely acting to type.
I have no doubt that Rohm stretches the truth from time to time. Name a politian who doesn't; in regard to the comment from Barton, Rohm might be on to something there! In addition, to have Palin call anybody a liar is a serious case of the pot calling the kettle; she is such a hipocrite!
it is GOP philosophy. why does it take a stupid tweet from this pundit to make it always to CNN?
The pot calling the kettle black.Get a life Sarah , go home and take care of your kids.
Sarah who? Is she someone important?
The White House does not need to respond to this twitting twit.
Pretty sad that Palin lies about the Republican culture not being exemplified by Barton. Between Palin and Rahm, I'd venture to guess most Americans are going to come down on Rahm's side. I doubt anyone with a measurable IQ would put any salt in her words. Only an "FR", as he would say, could fall for her propaganda.
Hi Sarah,
Why don't go back home and take care of your kids? Your time of fame is past over. When you point your finger at someone, don't forget the rest of the fingers point towards you. i.e The following apply to you also and you are more in the lime light than e is:
"shallow/narrowminded/political/irresponsible"
N
Of course Emanuel was right. In today's Republican party, it is a rare Republican who does not side with Big Business and Big Oil against the the common good.
As for Palin, why does anyone care what she "thinks" about anything?
Sarah Palin = American Taliban. This twit knows how to use twitter because it doesn't require her to spell. Keep it coming! The Progressives don't have to open their mouths; just let Sheikh Limbaugh, Imam Beck and Failin' Palin to open their pie holes!
Please make that stupid bimbo shut up. (She STILL looks like a guy in drag).
Emanuel is trying to take the attention off of his weak-kneed boss Obama.
How does the incoherent ramblings posted on Sarah Palin's twiiter account merit a CNN article?
Palin calling someone else a liar. She is the biggest liar. I hope she runs for pres though, because it just shows how far out and desperate the Republican party is.
We are sending our soldiers to other countries to restore freedom of speech and the rule of law.
We show outrage on an almost daily basis at the lack of democracy and tyrannic behaviors of political leaders.
The hearings in congress were a kangaroo court and achieved nothing other than some self serving grand standing by inept politician.
There is a due process to hold BP accountable and one should follow the laws in place.
It appears the safety rules and regulations for deep sea drilling were insufficient therefore the MMS and the feds will have to take some responsibility as well.
If they needed a hearing in Washington it should have been 60 days ago , HOW TO STOP THE OIL.!!!
Way to keep a politically damaging issue alive, Palin.
Palin has no problem shaking down oil companies or the federal government, every Alaskan gets $2000.00 a year from them, plus Alaska is the third highest recepient of federal funds. Palin is fine with shaking down whomever she can!
Palin is blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. Actions speak louder than words, and we've seen the behavior/actions of the Republican Party. She and they are an insult to everyone's intelligence.
Someone should tell Sarah Palin that she needs to go home and take care of her child. This is the time in his life that he needs her the most, and she's running around playing watchdog for the GOP. She's a lousy, Lousy, Lousy mother.
It doesn't matter if Rahm was lying or not. Barton opened Pandora's box with his incredibly, politically inept statement. He did more to undo Tea Party and grassroots efforts to resurrect the Republican party than any Obama administration aide or action. He needs to resign for revealing himself to be nothing more than bought and paid for by BP and other oil companies.
Since when is this a surprise?
Of course jRahm is lying! He has done this all of his political life. He lives the lie. As Hillary stated in "The seduction of Hillary Rodham, "it's ok to lie to get elected because you know once you are elected, you will do the right thing for the people". If you believe this, just keep on voting for these lying idiots and be lead down the fool's path.
Palin seems never to have left the playground.
I could really think of better uses for Sarah palins mouth, and speaking the ignorance words that she does is not one of them, I really hope she does not really believe anything she says in anywhere near intelligent, i hope she really understands she is no more than poor white trash, the an ignorant fool that got caught in war, funny is he is such a war hero how the heck did he get caught, but anyways, will someone really be honest and tell this ignorant fool to stop embrassing this country, the other countries are reading this crap and really laughing at us, to know some fools really look up to and empty headed fool who cant raise her own family correctly try to have an opinion on anything, and uneducated fool can only fool those that are as empty headed as she is, and acourse the perverts that love her also, i really would be scared to lay with something like that, the babies dont even come right from her, tells you what the family is made of and whats in the genes.
Palin just shut up the truth hurts, you guys care nothing about the common man, all you care about is big business, Mr. Barton cannot take back what he said, how's that drill baby drill working out for ya!
Why does the news media continue to waste words on Palin? Do her opinions/views really matter? I think not.
Palin is calling Emanuel "shallow/narrow minded" and "\politically irresponsible" ? LOL. Look in the mirror, Sarah !
Rep or Dem... they're all liars. And as a Republican, I can honestly say Palin is probably the only one who is not a liar because she is too dumb to know how to lie. She is about as empty-headed as that glassy-eyed witch Pelosi. I cannot believe that the Rep party has allowed her to speak for us. No wonder we are considered out of touch with America.
As a young person in America, I am at a loss when I step into a voting booth. Who should I elect, a leader who lacks know-how, leadership, and backbone (Obama)? Or someone who doesn't even bother reading up on the issues to know what she is talking about (Palin)?
As a father, disabled vet, husband, and college grad, I fear for this country... we're truely going down the crapper.
This is funny. Barton spoke on his own behalf, as he indicated. He made a stupid political gaffe that betrayed his dependence on oil money for his seat. It did not necessarily reflect GOP party policy; however, it is not a secret that oil money can be found throughout both parties. I don't have a problem with that in principle. I do have a problem with it if the money buys one's soul, and this is what we face with glaring regularity in local, state, and federal government. The greater good of the nation comes first, then the constituents, and so forth. Party should be at the bottom of the list, but usually finds itself at the top.
Palin is a woman-child and I wish the so-called political commentators and pundits would stop sending attention her way. She is politically irrelevant.
Mature response: Sen Lisa Murkowski "The WH Chief of Staff is wrong."
The childish, sarcastic, not-ready-for-prime-time response "Rahm u lie".
This is the same Palin that claimed there was reference to "death panels" in the health care plan, right?
The same Palin that claims to have a degree in broadcast journalism, when in fact it's a communications degree?
The same Palin that holds to high family and moral values and has an unmarried daughter giving birth?
Just checking the credibility of the accuser, that's all. And there is no credibility, but thanks for checking in, Sarah.
Sarah Palin, with her record, calling ANYONE a liar is enough to make a (fully conscious) non-ditto-head spit a mouthful of coffee over breakfast.
Anyway, Barton's "shakedown" rhetoric was echoed - on the record - both in GOP releases/internal memos AND in on-the-record statements of other (oil-supported) GOP members of congress.
Sarah simply insults her devotees' intelligence - and they don't notice. This is the future she proposes? Priceless.
Emanuel certainly used Barton's insanely ill-considered comments to his political advantage, but that hardly constitutes the dishonesty of a "lie".
Maybe the word "lie" has a different meaning in moose-speak.
So, that puppet wants to be the president of the united states of America
Please, somebody, tell me how Sarah is relevant to any honest and thoughtful political discourse. CNN and other news outlets need to stop exploiting her and giving her a platform to exhibit her crassness, ignorance, blind-partisanship and fantasy-world approach to politics.
"Rahm, u lie."
Nice work, Palin. Tweeting like a teenager? That's definitely presidential material.
If you can't say anything good don't say nothing but every time Palin open her mouth the press prints it.??????
How apropos that a Twit like Palin uses Twitter to spout her nonsense.
It’s the king is necked story, all is designed to blind the public, there is no deference between republicans and democrats…they all play us. And we the fools like to think that we are in control….
Thanks

Sarah is right regarding comments about Rahm Emanual (the disgusting Obambite that coined the phrase; "never let a national catastrophe go to waste".
This weasel is orchestrating Bozo's energy reform bill (cap and trade) which will lead to more government takeover, higher taxes and $10/gal. gas. Wake up America and put these slimey politicians out of work ASAP!
Who cares what Sarah Palin says? Stop reporting what this completely irrelevant person keeps spewing. She does not matter, her husband doesn't matter and her kids don't matter. Continuing to report what she says is like reporting the opinion of the local Dog Catcher concerning the state of the European economy. Let Fox report this as "news and entertainment" which it is neither.
thats a pot exagertweeting a kettle black
To which Rham replied: "Palin? She's still around? Why is anyone listening to that quitter?
Her title is what exactly???? Nothing. Who cares what crude spews from her pit pull lips.
A million Bartons aren't going to save the Dems...
Emanuel should sue Palin for slander!
tweet tweet Sarah
I'm shocked!, shocked! that the GOP would deny that they side with Big Oil. The protest too much. Barton's scolding apology is exactly in line with Republican thinking – epitomized by Cheney's secret meetings with Big Oil where he, with a wink and a nod, gave them the ok to do as they please, including cutting back on and ignoring safety precautions. The Gulf spill is a direct result of this GOP only meeting. The contortions that Palin is going through to convince us that Emmanuel is wrong belong in a circus. This is typical GOP hypocrisy and lying in their tireless effort to make greed a virtue.
Didn't know Emanuel can see Russia from his house LOL
Name-calling...geesh...will this woman ever shut up?
Barton's comment is the GOP philosophy. That's not news to anyone.
Look at the comments Boehner, Murkowski and Bachmann have made defending BP in this spill.
Same old same old. If Palin had a clue what the issues were, her comments might be taken seriously. As it is, however, she doesn't know what she's talking about. She reacts to the lowest common denominator of her followers.
I believe that Rahm's comments are true to a point.
Republicans generally believe in the idea of "trickle down economics". This is where, by lowering taxes and protecting large businesses... those businesses will "trickle down" those savings/protections/deregulation by showering the citizens of the USA with money and jobs.
This is a widely held belief amongst Republicans. Barton's apology makes sense and indeed is a perfect example of the GOP philosophy.
Now, I don't think ALL Republicans but the vast majority are a big fan of Reaganomics.
To Sarah "Drill Baby Drill" Palin, facts are lies and lies are facts. Where exactly did Emanuel lie? This is and has always been Republican philosophy. One might disagree but this is not a lie. How could the WH respond to this utterly incoherent statement devoid of support? Political discussion in this country has sunk to quoting this golddigger? Big Oil dictated this country's energy policy for 8 years under Cheney/Bush but lets not talk facts and there consequences.
Sorry, the actions of the GOP over the last 30+ years don't support your claim! Name one environmentally beneficial piece of legislation from the GOP. Just one. Hello?
Barton's comments were obviously heartfelt on his part and not off the cuff. Just like Michelle Backman's comments that President Obama is "fleecing" BP and Haley Barbour's initial opposition to a $20 billion escrow until he tested the political winds, as well as his blasting the "left" for calling for better, aka honest, regulation of the drilling industry. The Republican party would shift the entire cost of the clean up to the US taxpayer and ignore the 11 dead in a hearbeat if they thought they could survive the polical aftermath.
Palin u r a twit. Go GOBP!!
There is no a bigger insult than calling a person "a liar". Where was this woman when Joe Wilson said it and apologised for it. Is this arrogance or ignorance? Any one taking Sarah seriously must think twice.
No, Caribou Barbie. You are the shallow liar. We now refer to Republicans as GOBP. Dig?
I am so sick of the thug from Chicago.
WHY, I repeat WHY does anyone care what Sarah Palin thinks about political issues? She QUIT during her 1st term as governor. She QUIT on the state of Alaska so she could run for the money. Her political quips and attacks have no credibility, and I wish the media would ignore her.
Like a tweet from a has-been nobody is going to affect anything. And to go the whole trembling-lips, on the verge of tears route that Palin has (you'd think she was stamping her little foot while tweeting this) is hardly going to make a difference (unless it was laughter that she was after here).
On the other, she certainly would know about lying to fulfill commitments to her overseers (the oil companies). Takes a thief and all that.
This would be more noteworthy if Palin hadn't already proven herself a pathological liar. Nothing she says should be taken for anything but entertainment value.
Rahm got it right. I live in Texas and I can tell you the Republicans here never met an oilman they didn't love - Can you say GWB? Was Ms. Palin in on the meeting with Dick Armey outlining the Republicans response? Probably not. Ms. Palin herself would not know the truth if smacked here betweeen the eyes! Quite simply–Ms Palin you do not know what you are talking about (as usual).
Palin is right on. Emmanuel is so WRONG. The democrats are trying to distract the voters away from their horrible record of "leadership".
Prepared, unprepared, no difference. When you are on the committee sitting in front of an official hearing it doesn't matter if you wrote it down, didn't write it down or if you repeat what the little voices in your head are saying. You are still responsible for your remarks, Sarah.
The GOP is a SHILL for the oil industry. Anybody remember the BUSHES? BUSH(1, 2) + TEXAS = OIL. BUSHES/Saudi Arabia...I could almost believe in conspiracy theories when it comes to BIG OIL. They were sure all reading from the same page for their emergency procedures, which boil down to "LIE PROFUSELY," then "PANIC QUIETLY," then "APOLOGIZE INSINCERELY."
Why isn't Bristol in Afghanistan? Sarah can watch the kid. She's REAL good at it.
For the life of me i can not understand why anyone would pay this numb skull any attention – much less the upper echelon of government. She is an on going joke that ceased to be funny the moment she was picked for the VP position. You would think the republican party would have placed her back in the closet or some place she would never be found – much less the point guard on a very bad team. As a Republican i am very embarrassed by the lack of leadership and lack of direction that represents our party today and i will express my disapproval in the only way that i can-short of strapping on a vest. The republican party is taking on water on dry land-go figure!
Sara Palin is a coward who quit halfway through an elected term as governor and now , like cowardly Vietnamese snipers of the 1960's sits behind her telephone and the twit twits out meaningless garbage. Why is this woman news and why does she think she matters?
Why should anyone even be paying any mind at all to what Palin says ? Seriously.
Palin must keep her computer hot with her "tweets" staying in the spotlight. Two thirds of the House Republicans signed a statement that said basically the same thing as Barton did verbally. it was posted on MSNBC and released with Friday's news. Must the media continue publishing the retorts from a brain dead loser ??
Sarah Palin should know exactly what lying is. She is quite adept herself with the concept....
“…shallow/narrowminded/political/irresponsible…” If you add narcissist, eternal victim and quitter this would be a perfect description of Palin herself.
It IS the GOP philosophy, coming from the "drill baby drill" nutcase, this GOP backpeddling doesn't carry any water...
All the American voters want is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. All the negative statements by one party toward the other party does nothing for the country. Stop complaining and blaiming others. Don't do just what is good for you, but what is good for the country. I believe the politicians are just looking out themselves and not the American people.
sarah is the liar.....100 republicans signed off on Barton's statement about the shakedown of BP. It's in writing but they go on tv and lie about it.....but I guess the only thing sarah reads is her own press.
This is really funny. Sarah Palin is so dumb she wouldn't know a liar if she saw one. Why don't she just go and set on her back porch and see what Russia is doing. She is a disgrace to America.
Pot, meet kettle.
A member of the Obama team lying? Sarah, shame on you. I'll bet Obama won't get you any tickets to baseball games.
If it was truly an "off-the-cuff" comment than why did it say almost the same thing on the GOP congressional website the day before Barton spoke? The GOP website even used the "shakedown" phrase. That's likely where Barton got it.
The irony is thick when a political snake-oil salesman like Palin accuses someone else of lying. What's next? Michelle Bachman accusing someone of grandstanding & adopting flavor-of-the-day populist principles?
Politically irresponsible? That's not hypocritical. It's not like she's formenting dissent, attempting to question the nationality of her political opponents, asserting they're a Muslim Manchurian candidate whose poltical vision was formed by radicals and terrorists. Oh, that was her?
"The White House has not responded to Palin's comments." - um, why should they bother to respond to such stupidity?
Rahm Emmanuel a liar?
DUH!!!!
Palin is such a credible and important person.
Why is this news? She's a nobody. No brain, No party, No office. Party of No.
The problem with Sara Palin is that she takes everything at face value and doesn't know how to read between the lines. Rahm Emanuel said that Joe Barton's comments "exposed" the GOP philosophy, not that they expressed the stated philosphy of the party. Everyone knows that the Repuublican Party has been closely allied with big oil since the inception of the industry. That is not a criticism of the party or the industry, just a statement of fact. Therefore, it's not a lie. Besides, where does "Drill, baby, Drill" Sara Palin get off calling anyone shallow, narrowminded, political, or irresponsible? She can't remember what she reads, she quit her job before then end of her term, and she accused the President of the United States of "...palling around with terrorists"? Good job, Sara!
Palin the witch is talking about lying? Hahahahahaha.
Death panels eh.
You twit.
does not matter how you sick, repulsive, repugnants SPIN the anti american barton comment and apology to bp, it was putrid.....
On behalf of the Democrats, Thank You Sarah Palin and Lisa Murkowski. Anything that keep's Joe Barton's comments in front of the public is a win for our side.
Who cares, please Palin, go away!
Rahm is right. Air head Palin and crazy Joe Barton love BP. Both are in the back pocket of oil companies.
Hahahaha!
That's just great.
Be careful $arah, say all you want about Rahm, the last time you attacked him, you ended up looking like nasty hypocrite (Rush can say retard, but Rahm can't...even about his own party). Before that, he made RL the party leader which, of course, took its legitimacy away.
hahaha. that' should be fun to watch.
Thank you America's news media(s) for continuing to enhance the relevance (by publicizing every word) emanating from this deep thinking "politician" Sarah Palin.
...Rahm is 100% right... Finally someone from the good guys has had the guts to say it...Note to White House: its not too late to name a special prosecutor to expose the lies & corruption of the Bush/Cheney cartel...
Sarah, U stupid.
Rahm crawled out of the same political swamp that obama came from, of course he lies on a regular basis. That is the chicago machine "pay to play" way and the really sad part about all of this is that Americans bought in the whole ridiculous notion that obama was going to washington to make things better. Obama is quite possibly the most corrupt prez we have ever had, but "news outlets" were too busy sending plane loads of reporters to wasilla to pay any attention to obama's laundry list of corrupt friends.
We need to clean out eveyone, including Obama, who is in DC since he took office. They are destroying our Nation.
Of course Alaska's Sen. Murkowski and former Governor Palin would side with big oil against the American people and the U.S. government. Can you imagine if President Obama made a remark that wasn't in his written script and then he said "it doesn't count"? I'm very tired of Republicans accusing everyone of being a "liar." Even in grade school we teach children to not call others liars just because you disagree with them. It's time for Republicans to give grown up responses.
Palin can say anything she wants to thanks to our freedom of speech, however, she is calling the kettle black by saying the republican party is not in bed with the oil companies. All the tax breaks the republicans enacted favored the very rich and the oil companies. I know President Obama and his staff are not perfect, but they are still a far cry better than the last republican staff we had in office. Cheney and Bush were both liars and cheats.
Palin also said that mans activities has no effect on global warming or the environment and that nature is just going through a phase. She has also neglected to comment on the "Oil disaster in the gulf” and its effects on our environment. So why would anyone in their right mind listen to Sarah Palin?
Sarah, you are the one who is the LIAR LIAR PANTS AFIRE!
I just wish this woman would go away, she is an embarrassment to our country.
Sara is so irrelevant!
Sarah is just mad because it's so true.
I am shocked that I am going to agree with her!
And what better authority do we have on shallow, lying, and narrowmindedness than Sarah the Village Idiot? What an embarrassment and stain on society Palin and her rabid followers are. The world mocks them for their ignorance and the factless faux (Fox) reality they live in.
Did she draw devil horns and a goatee on his picture, too? Seriously, she is behaving like a moody and spoiled 13 year old girl.
Palin,
U = an idiot. Go away.
Palin calling someone a liar? Pot, meet kettle.
If Palin (God forbid) ever hopes to be taken seriously (which she will not be) sending tweets is not the way to respond. She should schedule a news conference.........no wait, she puts her foot in her mouth when she speaks........nevermind, keep up the tweets.........What an IDIOT
While GOP came quickly to clear out the atmosphere of this issue, their empty suit is adding fuel on fire. What kind of thinking this woman has?
And if anyone knows lying, it's Sarah. ("Death Panels" anyone?)
"The White House has not responded to Palin's comments." Nor should they respond...
Takes one to know one.
When did Sarah Palin buy CNN? Really.... reporting on such a dimwit as mainstream news. For heaven sakes, she uses Twitter and Facebook for her correspondences. Since you can't cover the real news well anymore Please do tell us what she had for breakfast this morning as well.... Please.. please... please..
Palin is the biggest lying, piece of trash in this country. So to her I would say, "It takes one to know one!"
Sarah Palin, please wake up from your druken coma. YOU DO NOT MATTER AND YOU NEVER WILL! You are lucky that America even allows retarded low IQ ex-politicians to retain their ciztizenship. Otherwise, you'd be living under a porch in Alaska somewhere hiding from BIIG GOVERNMENT. Boo. Watch out here comes the boogey man. He's gonna get you and take away your freedom.
Sarah Palin is stupidity personified. Isn't time we insist on IQ tests for political candidates?
All politicians lie. What is new?
The Republican Party is in the pockets of any big business that wants it. Intellectual zero's like Palin don't really deserve the attention they get. and her vapid remarks are quickly forgotten. Lord delivers us from an airhead like that.
It's amusing to me that she makes no acknowledgement of what Barton said.
oh my god Sarah claims someone is lying, the women who claimed she could see Russia from her front porch, had diplomatic experience because flights with diplomats flew over her state, that she helped develope a new pipeline that yet does not exist, that she voted against the money for the bridge to nowhere, then took the money anyway. oh yes lets take her word before she resigns from whatever position she is now serving in.
And we're supposed to believe Sarah "Drill Baby Drill" Palin?
Rahm is telling the TRUTH! That was a well thought out, DELIBERATELY worded statement he made, NOT an off the cuff remark.
Hey Sarah, How's that "Drilly Spilly" thing working for ya?
Palin has not had her name in the news for at least two days. Her strategy is to keep her name in front of everyone. Her comments keep her name out there.
The Republican Party is in the pockets of any big business that wants it. Intellectual zero's like Palin don't really deserve the attention they get. and her vapid remarks are quickly forgotten. Lord deliver us from an airhead like that.
so, a wildcat repub says something on his own and Emanual immediately politicises. Hey, isnt there STILL a gazillion gallons flowing in the gulf Rahm? Why dont you and Obama wave your wands and make it stop? After all, under Obama the planet would heal, the seas would stop rising, glaciers would stop calving, and he promised that he was the one we were waiting for. Shesh, do we HAVE to keep doing politics as usual?
Sarah Palin is like a 15-year-old with her first phone and Twitter account. "OMG, u lie!!" The White House is smart to not respond to this irrelevant quitter.
OK Failin Palin. Then slam Barton for his stupid comments and make sure everyone knows that you don't share his feelings. Until then, you are with him and everyone else will know that you don't stand for the american people but with big oil
Joe Barton created agreed upon, prepared remarks and then went his own direction. Looks to me as if he had some green light somewhere because if he didn't not only would the GOP and people like Palin call Barton an idiot – but they would let him know in no uncertain terms that they would not support him for re-election come next election cycle and find themselves a different mouthpiece. But notice that is not the case. Rahm Emmanuel is not saint – by any stretch of the imagination. Personally I don't like the man's tactics – however Barton is representing what many believe is the true voice of the GOP. If anyone thinks the GOP stands for the man on the street think again. These GOPers play a bit dirtier than their Dem counterparts – and Sarah Palin is proof.
Palin certainly knows all about lying.
I think this shows exactly what the GOP wants and what they care about. I get that the oil companies give jobs to people in the states and they want to protect their constituants (sp), but really i feel like they are protecting their own pocket books.
Get a life woman!!
Everyone is a liar according to Palinaccept her, but then she is a big joke and the biggest embarrasment America has produced.
This type of political bickering is an example on why nothing can get done in a beneficial fashion when serious issues arise in the United States. Energy is being spent too much on seizing opportunities to make individual parties shine when devastation and destruction have no party affiliation, race, color, or creed.
WOW The comment by Barton was heard around the world. What is Palin talking about. The repugs have proven over and over how they feel about America.... Palin is a big piece of cow manure.
Hey what with the Palin moron, the drill baby drill psycho, I guess she doesn't like hearing the truth. She's the biggest idiot I have ever had the misfortune of reading about. What a loser!!!!
Rahm... you are overplaying your hand, good sir.....
best to keep your political venom focused on shutting off oil valves for now..... you know.... since your people are in charge of that sort of thing......
The Republican Party is one big shill for corporate special interests. Bought and paid for.
Emanuel is right and Sarah Palin wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on the face. This is a result of two things – she's a serial liar herself and she's simply too dumb to know the difference.
The white house is calling it correctly. The GOP wants business to be unregulated and unrestricted, the free market approach. But this is what happens when that is allowed. Companies are not socially responsible, they are all about the bottom line and only when it impacts a significant number of people and communities do they attempt to paint a different picture. Attacks by the GOP against Emanuel are just efforts to deflect attention away from what is part of their core belief, business first, people last.
Sarah Palin just needs to quietly go away. No one is interested in what she has to say.
He IS a liar. This is nothing new and he's PURE EVIL!
This lying, always lying woman, has some nerve calling someone else a liar. She could not tell the truth if her life depended on it.
She is a stupid moron, whose only interest is in padding her pockets. Who ever dug this slug out of the ground, did us no favors.
Palin, go get back in the hole you belly crawled out of. You give all Americans a bad name. STUPID STUPID STUPID MORON OF THE WORLD.
BP will be held responsible and rightly so but the Administration and their friends in the media, especially DNCNN, are using BP as a shield aginst taking blame for the failure of thr regulators ( the head of MMS was Fired with no explanation and no follow up from the media) and the horrible response in the clean up efforts.
DNCNN also left out Emanuel's comment theat iwould be "Dangerous" if the Republicans regain power in the Nov elections. The Dems will try to "Tar" the republicans with labels of protecting "Big Oil" but it is the Dems who got the largest contributions from "Big Oil" and it was the Obama Administration whose MMS looked the other way when giving BP the licenses to build this Rig. It was also the Dems who controlled Congress since Jan 2007 and had OVERSIGHT on Government Agencies like MMS.
How about a little real follow up CNN, you know, Digging into stories and REPORTING.
Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. This woman is the ulitimate liar. Every time she opens her mouth she utters untruths and devious innuendos, twisting the facts to suit her.
It is about time she returned to her walled shack in Alaska and lived the life of the redneck that she is. She refers to herself as a pit bull with lipstick. That about sums her up.
Palin, SHUT UP! I'm sick to death of you!
It may not be the philosophy of the Republican party as a whole, but we all know it is the philosophy of Republican leaders.
Emanuel may not be the most likable guy on the hill and may at times lie, but I think this time, he hit the nail on the head.
oh yeah...and Joe Barton is a douche to apologize to BP about anything. C'mon really Joe? On television? Give me a break!
The real liar here is Palin. Let's not forget the "death panels", pallin' around with terrorists", she reads "all of them", etc. etc. etc. The GOP is in the pocket of the oil industry and that's just a fact.
Calling a Chicago Democrat a liar is like calling water wet.
I personaly agree 1000% with the white house chief of staff mr emmanual . as he state what he feels is the whole republican partys natural party views when it comes to the likes of BP AN THE COPORATE INSTREST IN THIS COUNTRY overall they republican party has always been the party of the rich coporate special instrest groups in this country an they have always had their hands out to them for campaign finiance. anin my own personal estimation sarah palin iis just another far right winged nut period an i hope that she runs for the pffice of president again in 2012 just so that i can vote against her thank you
Why does anyone care about what she says or Tweets?
Barton read from a prepared text, of course, it was planned. It did not get the reaction that he was planning on. He wanted all of the GOP to agree with him. Even if they did think it, tjhey had more sense than to admit it. Poor Barton! All alone on his tree branch.
talk about liars, omg the pot calling the kettle black!!!!!
Rob Emanuel's comment is not a lie, it’s a personal observation based on the evidence as he perceives it. After all the deregulation, by republican congresses, of the energy, financial, healthcare, etc. sectors and the manner in which many businesses in these sectors have damaged this great nation, it’s not difficult to understand how a rational, intelligent mind could come to the conclusion that republicans are more interested in the well being of corporations then the citizens they represent.
An example of a lie, would be perpetuating the notion of “death panels” when all credible sources have shown there to be no such thing; yet the liar herself, attempted to get the same language enacted as law when she was governor. If you want more examples, you need only to wait until Ms. Palin opens her mouth again.
Sarah is the lier in this case3.
Palin, shut already. A person who had a lobotomy has more brains and common sense than you.
Only the GOP could claim he was wrong with a straight face. Actions speak louder than Palin's tweets... all one needs to do is look at what theyre currently doing - opposing the consumer protection agency and legislation to lift the damages cap to ensure BP has to take responsibility - to know whose side they're truly on.
HEADLINE: Palin says moon made out of green cheese – the media falls all over themselves to cover the comments. PAHLEASE STOP THE STUPID!
Just like his boss Obama, Rahm is using the disaster in the gulf for political gain.
Obama and Rahm are not plugging the leak! It's still gushing! Stop the political games, the golf, the concerts, the baseball games, and get your arse to work focusing on the gulf!!!!!!
Mr. Obama, Leaders do not take time off during a national disaster no matter how long it lasts or how hard you think you're working. Obama goes to a baseball game and Hayward go yachting. Looks like they are 2 peas in a pod.
HOPE AND CHANGE IS NOT A PLAN!
and the wicked witch of the north speaks ....again! wish she'd shut the heck up already, why does she, or anyone else, think her opinions matter????
Actually Mz. Palin, a lot of us feel that way after Bush, deregulation, Katrina, Enron and Halliburton.
Sara, u rant.
Pre written testimony is not a "gaffe". The Republican who apologized profusely to BP because Obama talked them into showing some responsibility was reading from his own well thought through and vetted policy statement!
So in Palin's world telling the truth = a "lie"???
Whaaaaa?
Joe Barton, Michele Bachmann, and Tom Pointer stated what every other republican congressman and senator believes. They just had the guts to say it. Nobody is fooling anybody here.
I can't believe she has a degree in journalism, she tweets like a 6-year old. Republicans should be ashamed of her, at least those with an IQ higher than 60.
Any comments coming from the lips of Saranoya "Death Panel" Plain is not even newsworthy.
Sarah Palin is a quitter. Quitters do not get my respect.
Emmanual MAY be a liar..........but Palin is most certainly a village idiot.
Just one man's opinion.......
if i remember from the election for president, palin who was the true socialist took money from big oil and gave it to alaska citizens...why cant she ever think before she speaks. her an rush should have their own radio program.
"Rahm, u lie" – what is she, in 5th grade?
Someone please make this nobody (Palin) go away.
This woman is a danger to democracy, she is crazy as a peach orchard bore.
Of course the White House won't comment – Palin is the village idiot. People only watch her to see what she's going to screw up next.
Good grief. So besides being an idiot, Palin is now immature. Great leadership, there. Oh, wait. That's right–you didn't lead, you QUIT.
can the Media stop treating Palin like NEWS?
In addition to being a compulsive liar, Sarah Palin is an idiot.
Sarah Palin is a sorry excuse for a human being and an embarrassment to women.
Rahm Emanual – what a joke. I am so sorry that I voted for this administration. I was wrong and I cannot wait to vote out as many as possible come November and then again in 2012. I am pushing my fellow Democrats to not even nominate Barack in 2012 – he cannot beat anyone that the Pubs put up. He and his whole administration have been a total dissapointment to me.
Burton said it...."off the cuff", prepared remarks, just thought it in his head, whatever, it doesn't matter. He said it, because that is what he really thinks...Out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth spoke.......Poof! Be gone Palin.
Ms. Palin, as usual, spouting complete and utter nonsense. Emanuel is correct in his characterization of Barton's comments. They do in fact reflect the GOP's philosophy towards Big Oil.
Being that Emanuel's assertions are correct, that would make Palin a liar. And not for the first time.
easy there, nailin' palin....look in the mirror before you call anyone else "narrow minded."
Also use a more professional form of communication to speak with you zombie followers
Emmanuel is a savy politician. However, Palin is a moron, so anything she says, lie or truth, is worthless.
right on sarah palin....in fact the entire obama administration is a lie! just look at what was told to the governor of arizonia and what the administration is going to do. lies...lies....lies. throw them all out in november!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While I'm not a big fan of Rahm, his comments are spot-on. Mr. Barton knew what he was saying.
did I say bore? well she's that too, but Boar (or pig with lipstick) is a bettery description.
The White House should ignore Palin; she's just trying to egg them on so she can generate more publicity for herself. Everyone has known since the days of Reagan that Republicans can always be counted on to help the rich get richer and the poor to get them thar prayer chains a-goin'!
You bet Rahm Emanuel is a LIAR along with OBAMA and the rest of his administration. The wouldn't know the truth even if it slapped them on the face!
Why are you jamming Palin twit/tweet down our throats. Average Americans are tired of the media covering news like its pro wrestling.
Come on Sarah. Politicians don't lie. Why would you even say such a thing? There's no slime factor in this administration.
GO away Sarah.....you are an IDIOT!!
She has got the nerve! It's the pot calling the kettle black!
Sarah Palin is absolutely correct. Rahm Emanuel is just another foul-mouthed Chicago style politician.
Who cares what Sarah Palin thinks! She's an empty-headed, mindless twit to whom the media gives WAY too much time, and she continues to prove this out time after time.
HEHEHE..What a lunatic....
That's really rich! The most factually challenged political figure in a century is accusing the current administration of lying. Why are Palin's opinions given any media attention at all?
I love this guy! You know how I know he did something correct? It made Sarah Palin mad! If she were to ever agree with the guys I voted for I would surely know that the great underground furnace had frozen over. She is a brainless tweet...pun intended and he should be happy she took him to task for his remarks. He was spot on and she knows it! Off the cuff often is code for "what I really think" and is 10 times more telling of a persons mind and character than a prepared speech that is filtered through all kinds of political correctness. I know it pains the GOP today to have their dirty little secret spilled...off the cuff. But it does show their true colors. But those of us who were already paying attention...it was no surprise.
I cannot understand why ANYONE CARES what Sara Palin says! She's a SOCK PUPPET, like George Bush was. I do not beleive she originates anything that she is quoted on.
Thank God, Palin found something to get her mug back into the news! I was wondering when she'd find a crack big enough to squeeze through all that's going on to try to spin her web. What a loser. Her state has been funded by oil revenue for most of her time there (does she even live there anymore?) and she thinks they can do no wrong. Drill this, baby! You're an idiot!
Hey CNN, do you ever get tired of being Sarah Palin's mouthpiece? She's too chicken to actually do any interviews with anyone other than her sycophantic co-workers at Fox, so you just re-publish every half-witted comment she puts on Facebook or Twitter? Way to go, professional journalists!
Look at the pot callin the kettle black to all of her 8th grade bffs on Twitter. What an immature, creepy, disturbed thing this so called woman is. She makes my skin crawl. Drill baby, drill Sarah.
Is it news when the pot calls the kettle black?
Palin can quack all she wants but the Republicans can't change the definition of gaffe. That was no off the cuff mistake in what he was trying to say, that was a thought out statement of his true beliefs. Never in my life have I seen anyone have to apologize for an apology. To let them get away with calling it a gaffe the definition of gaffe will have to be changed.I suppose they are just as willing to say that Helen Thomas was only guilty of a gaffe when she spoke what was on her mind?
Let's face it. The GOP philosophy is to let the market do what it does naturally without interference from the GOV. The other philosophy is that unfettered free market capitalism is not always the answer and so regulations are needed to help prevent disasters like what we are experiencing in the Gulf right now. Of courseif you are going to be a regulator, it would be helpful to make sure you are providing oversight and not hiring Energy company friendly staff which aren't really doing much of anything. I'd replace the entire department with competent people. Too many leftovers from previous administrations. I wish Obama would clean house. I think this country would be better served as would he.
. These people, this administration, don't care as much about helping deal with the oil spill as they care about the political ramifications to themselves. During the campaign, it was brought up by some people
(not the media, of course), that Obama had never really run anything. The answer given by his "camp" was that he had run his campaign. Well, that is what he is still doing. That is obviously all that this team of Chicago fast talkers can do. They are all spin, complete spin, and nothing but spin.
Here's the truth, and I don't care to hear your unjustified attacks against Palin. If she were the Vice President, the oil would never have reached the shore. That's the truth. You people elected a talker, and that's what you got.
How does one know if Sarah Palin is telling the truth? She died in her sleep. The rethoric this loud obnoctious person spurts out is inflamatory and ridiculous. Let's solve this problem, take the country back and execute her for treason. Was it not FOX NEWS ANALYSIS that stated that attacking the Pres (this was during Bush's Reign) during wartime is an act of war.
That's a laugh. Caribou Barbie is a known pathological liar, and she get paid for it by Faux News.
He is just leftover vermin from the Clinton administration. He wasn't worth crap then so why change now. Actually, he fits right in with the present inept, incompetent, corrupt and arrogant administration. With his help, Obama can reach new lows.
Palin,
Stop tweeting. No one cares what you think.
Well isn't that cute? Carabou Barbie learned how to tweet – or is that how she usually writes? Barton did say that BP was owed an apology so exactly what part is she claiming Emmanual lied about?
Prepared or not prepared it was a comment that he made. Regardless if it was part of the republican party philosophy or not it appears to be part of his philosophy.
I agree with Palin! Nothing surprises me anymore coming out of the White House. The MSM has no problem bashing BP's CEO for going sailing - WHAT ABOUT OBAMA GOING GOLFING? I guess the MSM has no problem with their boy Obama golfing in the middle of a catastrophe...
Bottom line here is that the American people had it with BO's administration incompetence!!! AND, YES, RAHMBO, IS ONE BIG FAT LIAR!!!
either way...... republican, democrat, independent, the guy made a stupid comment and forgot he works for the american people NOT himself, oil or the government. Just for being stupid the dude should get his ass kicked... IMAGINE this in a company setting.... HR apologizing to a person for investigating a harassment suite in front of the victim.... saying we are so sorry you had to go through this. I know you harassed ms x BUT we are really sorry for having to investigate you.
Government is clearly out of touch with everything. PERIOD. Time to reestablish a new government agenda.. maybe sell it to the largest corporation... United states of coke or something...
How much truth were YOU telling when you took the oath as Governor of Alaska you friggin idiot.
Sarah Palin and children are why we invented dictionarys
Palin, as per usual, is not only wrong as the GOP has made SOP out of outrageous comments, followed by (wink, wink) half-apology, but shows her teenage maturity level with her silly schoolgirl texting mini-bite.
Rom is right, it is a philosophy. All the dems need do come election time is to cycle commercials that contain a montage of all the republican madness that has taken place since Obama won the presidency from the shameless bigots holding signs to the shameless racist statements made by politicians already seated; to outright scaring the daylights out of our seniors and lets ot forget the countless affairs and infidelities. It makes for a downright ugly picture of the future... Dems will bring it home hands down.
Only after a tsunami developed did the GOP retract, and Tom Price has gone completely AWOL without retraction. It was a Freudian slip by Barton.
This woman has the nerve to call someone else a liar, when this is all that she does to stay in the limelight. She needs to get therapy and to realize that she lost the election. Only her stupid followers believe the lies that she spew. Please go crawl under a rock. You are not needed to assist anyone in politics.
If the public had not been so outraged at Barton's remarks, the GOP would never have told him to apologize for it. They are the ones who are liars. The GOP always accuses Dems of things they themselves are guilty of. They call them liars when they are lying. They call them immoral when they are the ones meeting for sex in bathrooms and molesting congressional pages. They call them tax and spenders when they are the ones raising taxes, growing government and reducing taxes for the wealthy only. They bloat the military and spend on nothing else this nation needs accomplished.
Sarah Palin should give specific examples of how Rahm Emanuel is lying before she calls him a liar. Just saying he's a liar because he expresses his true opinion of the hypocritical GOP is not lying. He is entitled to his opinion, whether she likes it or not. If she really felt he was lying on purpose, she could sue him for slander, but of course, she won't, because her case would be laughed out of court.
Pot and kettle, meet Sarah Palin. I'm sure you'll all be very close friends.
Please stop reporting on Sarah Palin. Maybe if the news media wouldn't pick up her comments, she would shut up. She just does everything she can to keep her name out there.
Keep talking, Sarah. Please.
and the NEW Party of No talking points are . . . FOOLED YOU, they are the same tired talking points of old. GOP continuing to obsolete themselves. All they have to do is speak their mind, then get told they can't, then try to retract, and then just self-destruct.
Whatever Sarah, now Drill Baby Drill is NOT what you were saying those few short weeks of your campaign run?
You can drill on Alaska's protected land? OOPS, can't, that's why its protected!!
Rahm lied? He didn't put words in Barton's mouth!! They actually came out of a REPUBLICAN!!
Amazing the pot calling the kettle black as she hides behind her twitter account, I wonder how the people of Alaska feels about this half term Govenor who quit because she lied, but of course her cult followers can't see beyond the fake glitter.
