'I'm through,' Palin says

mug.mooney

(CNN) - Sarah Palin says she's done.

Done with whining about the media, that is.

In an appearance on Fox News, where she serves as a contributor, Palin shrugged off a recent sexual slur directed her way from comedian Bill Maher, saying, "I'm through whining about a liberal press that holds particularly conservative women to a different standard, because it doesn't do any good to whine about it."

"Nobody ever promised life was going to be fair," Palin continued in what appeared to be a departure from her usual pattern of forcefully responding to critics, especially those in the media. "And politics really isn't fair, the scrutiny, the double standards, and all that. I'm dealing with it I guess in a different way than others who want to bring more light to it and demand that Bill Maher apologize."

The comments come a day after the traditionally-liberal National Organization for Women issued a statement condemning Maher for directing the slur toward Palin, saying, "Cut the crap! Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or don't like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs."

But Palin made clear she is none too welcome of newfound support from NOW, an organization that has long been critical of Palin and her stances on issues like abortion.

"I need NOW's defense like a fish needs a bicycle," the former Alaska governor said.

But she also vowed to be an advocate for other conservative women who come under attack.

"When it comes to other women, when it comes to my daughters…when somebody says something that's not true, I am not going to retreat on that. I'll reload and tell them what I think about them," she said.

Meanwhile, Palin says the door remains open to a possible presidential run in 2012, though quickly tempered those comments by saying, "You don't need a title, you don't need an office to make a difference." Still, the Alaska Republican says she's tempted:

"I am tempted to because I am still wondering who is going to be out there with a servant's heart, willing to serve the American people for the right reason. Not for ego, not for special interests…I am waiting to see, who else is out there willing to do this."

The former vice presidential candidate also directed fire toward President Obama's recent dealings with the crisis in Libya, suggesting the president has not made his mission there clear.

"We better be in it to win it. 'Win it' means Qadhafi goes and America gets to get on out of there," she said.

"It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live," Palin added.

The interview with FOX follows a two country trip abroad, during which she visited India and Israel.

    I'm not as concerned with Mrs. Palin as I am with the people who believe her. I am greatly concern as a believer in Christian values how people will sell their souls to reap benefits. For their four and no more. God, I pray that you help those who can not help themselves because the Palin followers are not willing.

    Oh, CNN you tease. I was really hoping the story was that Palin was through with politics because she realized NO ONE takes her seriously and was going to head back to Alaska for good. Oh well. One can dream.

    CNN, is Sarah Palin a politician??? Until the answer to that question is "Yes" please place all articles pertaining to her in the "Entertainment" section of this site. The "Political Ticker" should be reserved for political news articles only.

    Palin can serve this country by just fading away into obscurity. We can do with a little less political drama.

    That headline made my morning! I usually refuse to give any traffic to a Sarah Palin story, as I'm still not sure why anyone cares what she has to say or what she is doing. But today, I thought maybe she finally called it quits! I was so excited, until I read it... That was mean CNN :(

    Look at how this arrogant stupid idoit Palin responds when her fellow women (who may not agree with her views) stand up for her"I (I need NOW's defense like a fish needs a bicycle," the former Alaska governor said). She sets the womens movemt baclK 100 years.................SIC her AGAIN BILL!

    "Done with whining about the media, that is."

    $arah Palin done whining. That would be nice, but it's also not going to happen. That's her method, to whine and criticize. She'll stop whining the day the media stops giving her a pulpit and platform.

  16. Boo-Yah

    Drat! With your teaser headline, I was hoping S. Pain finally figured it out that the American people don't want her, never have and never will. ...But that was just naiive on my part as she will never change her narcissistic ways.

    I was so disappointed, I thought the headline meant "through" as in finished in politics, in the public arena.

    I find it hard to believe that she will not whine about the media, what/who will she use as an excuse for her blunders from now on out???

    "I'm through whining about a liberal press that holds particularly conservative women to a different standard, because it doesn't do any good to whine about it."

    Or maybe it's because it's not true. The media has nothing against conservative women in particular, just you.

    "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live," Palin added.

    Isn't this the attitude that got us into trouble in the first place. I'm pretty certain it isn't our place to tell people how to live their lives! That statement sent shivers down my spine and my wallet. Hey Sarah, you can pay the bill for that idea. Than we'll see how fast you are to pull the trigger.

    She's gonna "reload" again. Is she referring to her "love gun". Sarah should know better than to respond to what comedians say in a tit for tat (not a sexual reference) fashion. Hecklers never do get one over on the guy with the microphone.

    March 24, 2011 09:32 am at 9:32 am |

    The American people do not need Sarah's "help". She should "reload" and take her ego and make lots of money on a
    "reality" show. Good luck to her.

    You never heard Hillary crying "unfair, blah, blah, blah . . ." when the GOP gave her worse treament than Bailin' Palin is getting. She took it like a champ. If you can't stand the heat, Sarah, get out of hte kitchen.

    Palin knows she can't respond back without looking like a hypocrite after telling people including the President to "man up" and to get a pair of "cojones". What double standard Palin? You play the same game and whine about it.

    Palin is on the verge of becoming a has-been. Maher shouldn't give her any recognition at all and neither should we. She never mattered, doesn't matter and won't ever matter any more than Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter matter.

    How dissapointing! I thought I was going to read she was through making a mockery out of the American people and our Country and she was going to finally SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP for a change. Will this woman ever get a clue and realize we only read about her for the entertainment factor? No one takes her seriously as a political figure, of any kind. Has she ever held a political position for it's entirety?

    If she wants to know who wants to be president, all she has to do is look at the rest of the circus clowns the right is offering up.

    "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live." REALLY Sarah?! It's our role to tell other countries how to live? That doesn't seem to go over to well with other countries when we take that attitude (why do you think al queda hates us in the first place?!). In fact, you criticize Michelle Obama for SUGGESTING to Americans how to live healthier. Give me a break.

    I would think that etiquette demands that she at least thank NOW for coming to her defense – even if she disagrees with them. I'm no Palin fan, but no one deserves to be spoken to or about in that manner. However, there is a certain amount of grace that we should all try to maintain. If those with whom we disagree are strong enough to call someone's treatment of us unfair and call them down for it, we should all be grown-up enough to recognize that deed and be thankful. Anything less would just make a person seem petty and small.

    The twit from Alaska is FINALLY getting it. Her endless and empty whining about the media has gotten her nowhere so she's finally done (but I doubt it) with the "victim" junk. She'll defend her daughters and other women (as long as they're republicans) but anyone else, it open season for this moron. "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live," Palin added....you mean like Iraq Quitta???

    Oh CNN you tease! Go ahead. Get my hopes up that this idiot was going to crawl back under the rock she came from.

    Funny how she can dish it out but can't take it. I remember when she "suggested" to Matt Lauer that David Letterman had inappropriate relations with underage girls but could not offer any proof and would not elaborate on her statement.

    Her phony indignation is laughable.

    Poor Palin. The media only picks on conservative women....NOT...Palin loves the attention she gets that is why she keeps up with the stupid accusations.

    Its true I do not like Mrs. Palin, but Bill Maher was wrong for insulting her, like most people I dislike her for the so call conservative outlook on life that she attemps to sell and I strongly feel that Mrs. Palin and others like her, male or female should not be bashed that way in public, it's shows a lack of character being presented by Maher.

  80. all the news that's fit too omit

    Directly from you're posting here Mr. Mooney and a BLATANT LIE:

    "The comments come a day after the traditionally-liberal National Organization for Women issued a statement condemning Maher".

    The FACTS are that they NEVER mentioned Maher, the SHOW or the network HBO at all in their "statement" and the huge majority of their "statement" was BASHING Conservatives for having the gall to be ticked off that a Conservative women was called a vile, vile name by this idiot and NOW said NOTHING until prompted too.

    If this were a Liberal Democrat, you're network would have actually reported the story and it would have lead the evening news all over and NOW would have been calling for a boycott of HBO and Meaher to be fired.

    The "games" liberal media types play are no more, to many other venues to get the truth.

    Palin DID nothing wrong here and I respect her for her guts, doesn't make her my President, I just respect her.

    Mr. Mooney, I have NONE for you.

    This is just one more lie from Palin. She says sh's not going to whine about the media anymore ... and then spends the next 20 minutes, um, WHINING ABOUT THE MEDIA. And she even manages to work that little threat of "reload" in there. Is she still so breathtakingly stone-cold TONE-DEAF that she still has to use guns-and-ammo metaphors to appeal to her "base"? I hope she keeps whining! It'll keep planting nails in the lid of her political coffin.

    Only wish she was actually done "talking" to the media. Why hasn't this person went away? She says...""I am tempted to because I am still wondering who is going to be out there with a servant's heart, willing to serve the American people for the right reason. Not for ego, not for special interests"

    her heart sure wasn't with the people of alaska! her special interests wasn't completely finacial?? Come on...get real lady!

    Speaking of degrading women. Is Palin standing up and speaking out about the Republicans trying to dismantle Planned Parenthood???? PP offers health check ups, aids testing, other health care, etc for poor women and by her silence, she is supporting "degrading" women in this aspect.

    as they say, "it is what it is".

    she acts as though she deserves special treatment from the press.

    not agree with her right wing, bull dog way of thinking.

    Did she say 'reload' again? Hasn't she learned her lesson from the Arizona shootings to quit saying things like that.
    First she says we should have gone into Libya earlier and now she says we shouldn't be there.
    Make up your mind Sarah!

    Where does one even begin with this person? Not for ego or special interests? So why did you quit in Alaska to follow the money train? America should not be nation building? But a month ago you slammed Obama for not demanding that the Egypt President go and for not getting involved with Libya. Or in a nutshell, you critized Obama for not allowing America to tell other countries what to do. Be consistent and stop being a hypocrite.

    She's going to stop whinning ... by whinning about the whinning and how she's not going to stop whinning? Congrats on making even less sense than usual, Sarah!

    And I'm tired of "Conservative Women" who take a double-standard that it's okay to say anything they want about others, including other women, but if they get knocked, it's suddenly all about the sexism.

    Saying that, Maher has proven himself to be an egotistical idiot who has dome more to hurt liberal causes than helped, save maybe Michael Moore.

    It is not about her being a conservative. It is about her being an ignorant woman. If Ms. Palin is the poster girl for conservative women, God please help them. Sarah is not a good example for any woman conservative or liberal. She is an embarassment to all women. This is what she does not understand. All women are ashamed at how she carries herself. Yep Sarah you will only get the old white conservative men to vote for you. If any woman votes for you she has very low self esteem like you.

    Pssssssst. Gotta secret for ya, dumb-dumb.....A large swath of mainstream America agrees with Maher. He simply has the forum and the balls to say what millions say and think about THE ETERNAL VICTIM that is Sarah...As usual, she contradicts herself at every turn..."I am done criticizing the lamestream media (followed by a whining criticism of the media)...."I don't want to criticize the president in a foreign country" (followed by slamming the CIC for "dithering on Libya"......."I am not a quitter" (after she quit halfway thru her term as Gov)....No one ever went broke exploiting the gullibility and stupidity of America....By the way, why is Fox News not criticizing Palin for slamming Obama on FOREIGN SOIL!!! You know, the way the Dixie Chicks were hounded for calling out Bush for his illegal invasion of a sovereign nation that had never harmed a single American, an adventure that is heading toward $2 trillion in cost....Oh that's right, Fox is the home of Bill O'Reilly, who showed stunning disrespect toward the President by interrupting him about 30 times in his interview with POTUS. And the beat goes on....

    What isn't fair is that dingbats like Palin, who have spent their lives freeloading on the energy of other people's ignorance, have been allowed to continue instead of being put to work in some positive capacity commensurate with their level of ability to serve the public, like scrubbing toilets or cleaning grease traps.

    The sexism suffered by former Gov. Sarah Palin is similar to the attacks on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she ran for president. I was an active supporter of Clinton and ran a web site which was tremendously successeful during that time. As a former TV reporter and current free lance journalist, I was and am diligently aware of all stories concerning women's rights. This is a real problem in America. Women hate will no longer be tolerated.

    Sarah Palin is through playing the victim? . . . . HAHAHAHA.

    "I need NOW's defense like a fish needs a bicycle," the former Alaska governor said."

    Fact is Sarah, honey, you THOUGHT we women would be crawling all over ourselves in our willingness to vote for *one of our own* in 2008, regardless of political ideology. And then, when THAT didn't happen, you and your many GOPer supporters spent the next three years mocking OUR vote for President Obama in your nonstop mockery of him, his wife, and liberal voters in general. Never understanding, - or caring - that you and your party of fools will once again need our vote come 2012. Not a smart move for any GOPer candidate to alienate 60% of the AMERICAN voting base with divisiveness and snark, and still expect to be elected President.

    Another tip for you, Sarah. If you ever plan to make it in politics, you're going to have to stop portraying yourself as the victim. If your feelings are that easily hurt, maybe you should think seriously about becoming a failed governor of a backwards state somewhere where no one will see you, care about you, or comment on you.

    Even this new non whining but defending other women stance is total hypocrisy from the woman who popularized, during the last election, calling any man she disagrees with "limp', and 'flacid'. I guess when she makes sexist comments by goining after a males body parts and masculine image, that doesn't count.

    As usual, she can do no wrong because God tells her that Hypocrisy is her calling.

    "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live," Palin added.

    Is that really what she said – in effect that America should be telling other countries to live? How ignorant. Also, how sad that she didn't say 'I'm through – I'm going back to Alaska and you will not hear from me again'. I guess that is too much to hope for.

    I've never known this woman to be gracious or presidential. The idea not to retreat and reload on issues such as she was referencing is a divisive ideology that don't unite people. SP often times cannot connect the dots or see the bigger picture on 99% of the issues she weighs on. She often have her talking points given to her without fully understanding the implication or how her utterances are percieved.

    Dern. By the headline, I thought she'd finally realized that she's out of her league, and might be taking Barbara Bush's advice and get on out of the lower 48. Off the subject, but now it looks like Michelle Bachman was told she could be a contender for prez since she walks and breaths and, like with Palin, we have to endure another C student with visions of grandeur thinking she can be the leader of the free world. We squandered our recent best opportunity to elect our first qualified woman president with Hillary Clinton, make no mistake. It will be years before there is another woman with vast enough knowledge and experience to get it done. Unless "qualified" doesn't count anymore.

    Palin would do well to realize that Republicans don't need her as a presidential candidate, and realistically accept that she would not be a good president.
    Her gifts will serve her better somewhere other than in the Oval Office.
    They certainly will serve her country better somewhere else.

  137. The Real Tom Paine

    She is whining when she lists the various offenses the Fourth Estate has apparently inflicted on her. Her damage is self- inflicted, yet again. She talks about a double-standard: what about the one she exercises ever day, along with every other conservative who plays the victim card? Conservatives truly feel they are beyond criticism, and they attack and smear anyone who runs counter to their paranoid, blinkered, backward-looking vision of what the country is. Bill Maher went way over the line, but he has a point: no one on the Right has said " Stop the idiotic attacks on the President: stop calling him a monkey, a terrorist, a Marxist, a Communist, a Socialist, stop asking him to produce a birth certificate, etc. " People are sick of it: does the GOP really expect enough independents will be swayed by these distractions to put any of their candidates in the White House?

    "When it comes to other women, when it comes to my daughters…when somebody says something that's not true, I am not going to retreat on that. I'll reload and tell them what I think about them," she said....

    So this woman with a servant's heart is only going to defend conservative women and her daughters...what a telling statement on so many levels...1) US is not made up of only conservative women...does not the POTUS represent and serve all Americans 2) Even if she doesn't run for president, she is showing that she only believes that there is a certain population in her 'sights' whom she deems worthy of 'serving.' Now what group might that be...I am willing to bet that group doesn't include Women of Color.

    Double negative... So, basically, the nimrod hag is saying that it IS America's role to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live. Not that she'd understand that that was what she was really saying... She speaks like an 8-year-old. And my God, how old and ugly she's looking lately... I just don't understand for the life of me how ANYONE can say that that hag is attractive. Some people must have really low standards of beauty. Yuck!!!

    Palin degrades liberals as biased but when an organization like NOW defends what they always defend, the denegration of women, she says she doesn't need their support. I don't understand why she always slaps away anyone or organization that doesn't totally agree with her. She seems to just be a disagreeable person but she is making $$ so I guess in her mind it works just fine.

You did not say a word when Bush went into Iraq and you and your types want nothing better than to tell us how to live and what is right and how we should think and feel.The reason you do not talk to the liberated [not libera] press is because you can not handle questions without someone telling you the answers first and always seem to say the wrong thing and make you sound stupid.

The dumbing down of America can be her campaign slogan and all those Country music devotees can praise her for trashing the President overseas holding up her book like it's the Holy Grail.

    Everyone, including you, needs to learn to be mindful about how you act and what you say. The real problem in this world is the selfish me, me, me that is becoming even more of a global epidemic than it has in the past. Mindful practice, courtesy, compassion. Until you learn these, or at least attempt to practice these traits, you are servent to none, not even yourself.

    "When it comes to other women, when it comes to my daughters…when somebody says something that's not true, I am not going to retreat on that. I'll reload and tell them what I think about them," she said

    Reload? Again? Why does she keep reloading so often? I think because she can't seem to hit any targets. The only Target she can hit is the on that next to an Archer Farms Supermarket

    I was sorely disappointed by the headline. I was hoping Palin was giving up the ghost of running for president and going to stick to what she's good at: blathering non-sense on Fox. But instead I find she's just "done whining..." I hope so, but I'll believe it when I see it. Oh, and someone needs to tell Palin that double-negatives logically say the opposite of the intention. (We're not NOT nation building...like Homer was not NOT licking toads.)

    She has never liked "the media" which is who ever quotes her and finds fault with her. So, that would be everyone? She is techincally allowed to run for president. So am I but I know that I can't win. Palin doesn't seem to understand that because she is in the public light that she will be reviewed and skewered. I guess she can't take it.

    "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live". So Sarah, you supported president Bush and his invasion of Iraq and the removal of Sadaam but you do not support the removal of Qadhafi. Both are terrorists. The difference? One was initiated by a republican and the other by a democrat. Party polotics continue to be the ruination of our country. You are a part of that, Sarah.

You also stated that you are wondering who is willing to serve America with a servant's heart.. Well, that is not you. You couldn't even serve Alaska. When you left being governor you stated you felt you could do more for the Alaskian people. So tell me Palin. What have you done for the Alaskian People. NOT much except give the a breath of fresh air since you have been gone. I am an avid on-line reader of Alaskian newspapers and I do not read anything that you have done. As a mater of fact, you are hardly mentioned.

    Palin for President..perfect candidate for a country that worships low lifes like Lindsey Lohan and Charlie Sheen. She has all the right ingredients..a cheating husband, an unwed slut for a daughter and a DS kid she uses as a prop . Great stuff for Whitehouse bashing in the future., even betyter than Newt's whoremongering. The dumbing down of America would make a great campaign slogan.

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________
    Well stated. Sarah's perspective about government's role in America and the politician's role in government is very powerful. There are at least 3 Democrats you have to look at as being in for exactly the wrong reasons of ego and special interest: Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. If you want to figure out what their response will be to any issue, just consider what first serves ego and special interests. There you have it.

    "I'm through whining about a liberal press that holds particularly conservative women to a different standard, because it doesn't do any good to whine about it."

    Not to split hairs, Princess Palin, but the "liberal press" you refer to would mean newspapers or magazines, a typr of media which I am not sure you are very familiar with. In contrast, Bill Maher is on cable TV. I think the standard you are having trouble with is the ability to be informed on issues and speak intelligently about them rather thanjust spouting ideology and making snarky remarks on Twitter. If "particularly" conservative women can't meet that standard, I guess they do have a problem and it is not with the media.

    She is such a hypocrite. She says what she will do "when somebody says something that's not true", that she will "tell them what {she} think{s} about them". Yet she says many things that aren't true, and then she complains vehemently and chastises the "lamestream media" and others when they point out or tell her what they think about those lies. Facts simply don't matter to her.

    I watched Bill; the comment must have gone right over my head. Understandably, though, her fiery, misinformed tirades can periodically stir targeted rants from others. On the relevant parts of the story, she completely ignored that this is a NATO mission with a UN mandate – Obama is not calling the shots. I know, international is not her strong suit. This is not a caribou that you shoot while hiding behind a bush, dear (or a McCain, for that matter)! She doesn’t agree with the benefit of our helping to spread democracy throughout the world. Really? Read up, hon!!! Are you moving over to the Democrats now?

    This outrage from the woman who referred to men she disagreed with as "limp and impotent". If she doesn't like sexual allusion directed at women, she should refrain from directing the same toward men.
    Palin says she's looking to see if someone will run for President who does not have a big ego. That must rule her out. The voice she hears that she believes is God telling her what to do is actually her oversized ego.

    ""I am tempted to because I am still wondering who is going to be out there with a servant's heart,"

    C'mon, Sarah. A real public servant doesn't quit when the pressure is on. A real public servant steps up to the plate regardless of political party. You want a REAL public servant to emulate? How about Robert Gates, Jr.? You had your chance, and you bugged out out on the people of Alaska. The pressures of the Presidency are far greater than the pressures of being the Governor of Alaska. If you couldn't handle the latter, how will handle the former?

Her own She feeds off her ego and the mighty dollar doesn't seem to hurt much either. Does she give do her rants for free? I also lost respect for NOW. Why in the heck would they step up to defend this total embarrassment to educated women? As much a Palin screams "smaller government" she has no qualms about having government make our personal decisions; yes, I mean reproductive freedom and education. Hypocrisy at it's worst. Go Maher, keep up the good work! Didn't we watch Palin stand at some alter and get exorcised when she first appeared? This woman's nuts.

    It only took Palin 47 years to figure out that if you put yourself and your family in front of the camera and the media, that you are fair game for comedians and pundits. What a dolt. I would bet she will still play the role of the victim, and she will still blame the nasty media for repeating her idiotic statements and illuminating the world as to what a sore loser the Quitter on Twitter is. Hopefully she will continue to whore herself and her family to Faux News and Dancing with Pseudo Celebrities, so that comedians will have a never ending flow of material. America needs a good laugh, and the Palin clan certainly provides that service.

    "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live," - HUH? So Sister Sarah STILL believes the US should be in nation building business? Can I assume she's been hibernating through Iraq and Afghanistan?

    She'll never stop whining, it's too entrenched in her nature. She'll also keep playing the victim. Besides, if she stops doing either of those two, she'll no longer be of any use to Fox.

    And one again, it's BREAKING NEWS: Sarah Palin still not declaring whether she'll run for president.

    Com'on Sister Sarah. RUN! You'll get the full endorsement of all the liberals all the way through the primaries!

    "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live," Palin added.

    Hasn't she learned what a double negative means?

    what does the next to last paragraph mean, is America supposed to tell other countries what to do or not, her statement is unclear. Also she says we better win it then says we better get out of there.

    Please don't tease me with a promising headline like that ever again! I was hoping that Palin was through with politics, through with the USA, through with being a babbling idiot, through with being an embarrassment, etc. And she never will be through with whining about the so-called "liberal" media. Anyone who disagrees with this extreme right-wing lunatic must be labelled "liberal" - as if that were a bad thing. Extreme conservatives are, for the most part, a bunch of narrow-minded Neanderthals. Being labelled "conservative" (narrow-minded) is extremely embarrassing, while being labelled "liberal" (open-minded) is quite flattering.

    "It's not America's role not to be out and about nation building and telling other countries how to live," Palin added.

    Awful grammar aside (a third grader know that her sentence was not proper). Why does she defend Bush and Iraq? Because she is a hypocrite and Maher was right about her all along. A scumbag quitter = Palin

    For someone who's through whining about it, she sure runs on and on about it. While I intenselly dislike Maher's slurs towards anyone not agreeing with his political views (And I agree with many of them!), I think Mrs. Palin should be shutting her pie-hole and just trying to hold on to whatever support she has. All she is doing is proving the people who attack her for being a quitter and a whiner.

    Wasn't it Palin and Angle and Bachman who were telling the "male candidates" they ran against to grow some male parts? I don't understand, now she's whinning? Live by the sword... die by the sword.

    Is there any check for mental health required of presidential candidates? All Palin DOES is whine! The crown jewel of this article is her comment about having a "servant's heart": would a servant of the people cut and run from her job as Governor in order to make millions running a talk show that hardly "serves" anyone the way a good governor would? I also loved how she missed the point of America's involvement in Libya as part of a multinational force under the auspices of regional bodies (the Arab League.) We're there to serve by protecting Libya's people from massacre, not be "in it to win it"

    Go ahead and run, Sarah. You'll guarantee the Democrats a victory.

    When is Palin going to go away? She is our current Anita Bryant. I shake my head everytime I see her in the news. Which means I'm fed up. If she is a big draw for The Republican Party, that say's a lot for them. It's sincerely time to move forward and let these people go.

    'Win it' means Qadhafi goes? Or would she mean Gadhafi? Besides that, if you can't stand the heat get the hell out of the kitchen. We have no need for thin skinned leaders in this country. And I use that term verty loosely. "Leader" I like how CNN tried to grab everyone's attention with a BS headline like Palin says she's through. How infintile and how misleading.

I'LL RELOAD AND TELL THEM WHAT I THINK ABOUT THEM!" Does anyone besides my family see what's going on here? It's amazing that she says she is going to tell them what she thinks now because for the last 2 1/2 years we have been trying to find out from her why she had a 5 seek sexting affair with our son who was a minor at the time!

    She says she isn't going to whine about the media in the same sentence that she complains about the media. Not only that, when a liberal leaning organization condemns the attacks she gets upset and then says she will condemn similar attacks against other conservative females. Does she think before she speaks?

    can we make a rule that states if a former politician or current politican hasnt provided any substantive remark or critique that adds to the value of a discussion or topic that we wont call it news?
