I love when the article describes her profound reaction to Republican state legislators at a dinner retreat who invited her thoughts on the upcoming legislative session: "I feel like you guys are always trying to put me on the spot."
Now THAT'S leadership, intellectual fortitude and a firm grasp on the issues facing the state, no?
Meanwhile, Moosebreath reiterated her commitment to "a culture of life" just after expressing support for reinstating the death penalty in Alaska; at the same time she's seen wearing furs; while she advocates the shooting of innocent wolves from airplanes; and while boasting of her skill in "field-dressing" a moose. Way to stay true to those convictions about the value of "life."
If you're a Republican, I BEG of you.... PLEASE urge your friends, colleagues and associates to nominate this nitwit for the presidency in 2012. I can't wait! - inactive, on 02/18/2009, -11/+78 Lol, Give Dan a little more credit...
- chrisgnv, on 02/20/2009, -8/+35Can we stop talking about Sarah Palin now? I was hoping she'd disappear shortly after the election.
- Ratteler, on 02/18/2009, -15/+41Nah. Dan Quail had a conscience.
Palin is Cheney with a Vagina AND a lobotomy. - ThsGuyRightHere, on 02/18/2009, -11/+31"Disappear(ing) for a while" is about the best thing she could do. I think 20 to 30 years would be a good length of time for her to stay out of the spotlight.
- freedomjoe, on 02/18/2009, -7/+26Love how she is still not taking any questions...How would you like to have her as your governor? ZERO accountability. I read a quote from an Alaskan during the election who said that Palin always behaved like she had been "coronated" instead of elected -- and this of her during her time as mayor. Clearly, that mindset has blown into a full blown queen mentality.
- OffensivePrick, on 02/19/2009, -8/+27How in god's name can she claim she was "exploited" by SNL when she CHOSE to take part in this:

- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -0/+14I love how she plays the victim. I have seriously never heard about a politician literally complain about how hard their questions were. Are you ***** serious? You want to help run the country and you're complaining about how hard a few questions are? And complaining about being exploited? Wow. Give me a break.
- SpoonMSU, on 02/20/2009, -2/+14I fear Sarah Palin... running this country.
- Ne007, on 02/20/2009, -4/+15There's just something about social conservatives that I can't stand. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but it's something like childish ignorance and snobbery.
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -2/+12Stone, because he actually puts thought into what he is going to say. He is a scholar, and you're a ***** idiot for not knowing that.
Buried for being ignit. - Alheithinn, on 02/18/2009, -10/+20The title of this piece is misleading because if anything, the article is friendly to Palin, not hostile. Except for the line ReasonWinsOut points to above, there really isn't any negative comment made by the author of the piece. The Dan Quayle with a pony tail remark is given without context. He might have been lamenting that she has been turned into this. No way of knowing without more research.
We can take issue what what Palin says (and do) but it's not presented in what I think is a negative or disapproving way. - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -3/+13Further proof america is filled with idiots.
- SpoonMSU, on 02/20/2009, -1/+11You never go full minority.
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -10/+20Not really. They HELP make the point: namely, claiming to be committed to a "culture of life" seems a bit hypocritical when you're pro-gun, pro-death penalty and pro-killing of the "innocent life" of wolves just because you don't like them.
- Velvolver, on 02/20/2009, -2/+11When you say average american you're only counting the 20% percent of folks that voted for McCain because they loved that idiot Palin.
America isn't just YOU and people like YOU. If she ran in 2012 she'd be ripped to pieces by stronger R candidate. - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -9/+18Sarah Palin is sooo 2008.
This is 2009
Besides she isn't going to be the next Republican candidate for president.
I would guess someone like Louisiana's Governor Jindal.
100% Minority and well educated. Like Obama can beat that. He is only 50% minority. - ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -2/+11@stone2020:
Really? You're going to hang your hat on a slip of the tongue from one speech on one day in a primary battle from over a year ago? Okay, you do that.
But remember while you do that--unlike Quayle, Palin and of course Bush--Obama is widely considered, even among conservatives, to be a first-rate intellect. And one or two verbal slips in over four years of national exposure hardly warrants a comparison to any one of the overwhelmingly vast numbers of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Danny Boy, Moose-breath and Bubba W.

http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/sarahpalin/a/pa ... - ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -4/+13I'm not a member of PETA, but I know hypocrisy when I see it. Pointing it out, of course, was the whole point of that portion of my original comment.
- inactive, on 02/18/2009, -3/+11I must confess this article I did not read. As interesting as Palin is- I just couldn't stand to read about her this early in the morning. Come to think of it, I would be happy to never read another word, or watch another "biased" interview about her again. I will however, watch if it's Tina Fey doing a parody (now that woman has talent). The only reason I dugg this post- is because after Quayle's VP stint he was basically dust in the wind, and I hope that Palin meets a similar, or by running again- she will help seal the deal for the democrats, yet again.
- pinchduck, on 02/20/2009, -3/+11I'm a fiscal conservative/social liberal, and I fear her, too. An intelligent Democrat is better than an idiot Republican any day of the week. I can have an honest discussion about the role of government, deficit spending and its effect on the economics of a nation, and how to best achieve a high standard of living with a sustainable economic and environmental policies with an intelligent Democrat. We won't always agree, the discussion may be heated, but I will always learn something. With an idiot Republican, I will learn that evolution is bad, deficits don't matter, and its okie-dokie to shred the constitution in the name of security. That sucks. I may vote against her in the primary, and I will not vote for her if she is the nominee.
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -1/+9Yeah, they both donated their personal time to help the poor. How many houses did Carter personally help build?
- pgoetz, on 02/20/2009, -1/+9"the article is friendly to Palin, not hostile."
Um, did we read the same article? Here are a few quotes from the actual article, apparently not the one you read, however:
"Gone was the self-assurance that Alaska had come to know in its young Republican governor"
"'She looked ill at ease, more defensive than we've been accustomed to seeing her'"
"Among both Republicans and Democrats, the view persists that she and those closest to her have overstepped their authority"
(and then there's my favorite:)
"In an interview with Fox News, her 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, who gave birth to a son late last year, said that the decision to go ahead with her unplanned pregnancy was hers alone and that teaching abstinence to teenagers, a concept supported by her mother, is 'not realistic at all.'"
There are more, but let's leave it with this one:
"Palin's greatest problems in Alaska, as in the rest of the country, seem to be with her fellow Republicans. "What did I say about her during the campaign when somebody asked me if she was qualified?" asked state Rep. John Harris, taking a moment to ponder his own question, smiling. "Oh, I said something like 'She's old enough and a registered voter.' " Another smile." - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -3/+11You're right, we do fear Sarah Palin. We're afraid of this country being in the hands of a total ***** idiot. If you can sit there with a straight face and say that you would feel comfortable having her run our country, you have a serious problem.
- mildlyEccentric, on 02/20/2009, -5/+12And we all know Sarah Palin doesn't like to be put on the spot.
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -2/+9Please. Care to substantiate that ridiculous comment?
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -2/+9Nice conspiracy theory. But, while it is true Presidents frequently have a list of reporters on whom they plan to call, the questions and answers are not, alas, scripted. Unless you can somehow substantiate that?
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -9/+16Sarah who?
- pgoetz, on 02/20/2009, -1/+8I think PETA Tard is several evolutionary steps above lout, BECoole, a pejorative (it's a big word, look it up) which describes you and the level of discourse you bring to the conversation.
- opticwind, on 02/20/2009, -2/+9Obama originally only had to deal with the economy, a failing environment, international complaints on U.S. attitude, outsourcing, foreclosures, Iraq, Afghanistan, and overcoming racial tones that could set the standard for the next 50 years of our history.
But now he has to deal with knowing that if he fails, people might vote Republican. And they might be voting Palin to do so.
THAT'S pressure. - Velvolver, on 02/20/2009, -0/+7AKA be asked anything, even softball questions.
- pintomp3, on 02/20/2009, -5/+12He's an evolution denier and wants creationism taught in schools just like Palin.
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -2/+9@stone2020: I think I'll put Obama's measurable intellect up against yours, Danny's, Moose-alini's and Dubya's any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
- anphanax, on 02/20/2009, -3/+10Won't somebody please think of the Moose hunters? Think about the pain, suffering and sacrifice they've had to go through while the wolves take their jobs away from them. Considering the dire state this country is in, I think it's time to send the wolves back to the countries they came from and give those jobs back to real, hard-working American men and women.
If those wolves have their way, they'll unionize and then god help us all...
#1 threat to America: Wolves in Alaska, and the liberals that defend their dastardly antics. - seanstuart, on 02/20/2009, -3/+9Anyone who doesn't fear the prospect of this nation being presided over by a(nother) proudly know-nothing simpleton who thinks her faith supplants all use for knowledge and know-how is crazy.
I enjoy laughing at Palin now, but during the election I was sweating bullets imagining her one heartbeat away from RUNNING THE USA! (OMG!). - pintomp3, on 02/20/2009, -2/+8He thought potato was incorrect.
- Coottie, on 02/20/2009, -1/+7Now I'm not a DQ fan but if you simply add up all of the gaffs that Dan committed throughout the time he was the VP nominee, they still would not even come close to one INTERVIEW with Sarah Palin.
- skeptictank, on 02/20/2009, -5/+11I am afraid there's going to be no way to keep Palin out of the news... unfortunately. C'mon people, even if you're a republican you can't possibly want another president with an IQ that's roughly twice their age. Granted, Obama is gifted with an intellect and a knack for speaking but if you put him and Palin side by side...can you really see her running the country?
- inactive, on 02/20/2009, -2/+8Citation?
Oh wait.
Never mind, you don't have any. I do however remember one day he didn't take any questions from Fox News. God forbid. - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -7/+13Yeah, we should all want to shoot wolves from a plane, because that is soooo badass. I won't ever feel like a real republican man until I shoot wolves from a plane.
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -3/+9@epicstruggle:
Actually, he's going to get dugg down for speaking nonsense. As President-Elect, Obama took questions at four press conferences and two sit-down interviews in November alone; more than any other President-Elect in recent memory, including Bush Jr., Clinton, Bush Sr., and Reagan.
Moreover, he gave his first prime-time White House press conference as President exactly three weeks after taking office--earlier than his predecessor by over a week.
Bush gave exactly 50 solo press conferences his entire time in office, 51 if you count the ONE pre-Inaugural conference he gave in December 2000. That's a rate of only one presser for every 8.5 weeks since being "elected." It's still too early to tell if it's a trend, but Obama already leads Bush in pressers per weeks since election by 3:1 and he has promised at least one solo presser every month. Hiding from the press, he's not.
Want to play again? - inactive, on 02/20/2009, -3/+9Did I just listen to a soundbite from Rush?
Seriously, think for yourself, these catchy rhetorical right-wing comments are getting old. - ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -1/+7It reminds me of Bush saying repeatedly in the 2004 debates how hard his job was.
::sigh:: - ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -4/+10Funny that conservatives never cared about darker-skinned Americans until they needed one to win an election.
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -3/+9I'm not afraid of Sarah Palin. I'm afraid of her being in possession of the nuclear codes.
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -4/+9You may be interested to learn that there are only three newspapers in the entire country that meet the international criteria for being "Newspapers of Record." The Washington Post is one; the others being the Wall-Street Journal and the New York Times.
I don't think they're headed for the tubes anytime soon. - crazyfingers33, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5unfair, Dan Quayle was far more competent to execute the office of Vice President
- ReasonWinsOut, on 02/20/2009, -2/+7I think perhaps you should re-read my original comment. I advised you not to hang your hat on relatively few slips of the tongue--particularly when you're comparing a known intellectual man with fewer gaffes to count to people like Bush and Palin--neither of whom are well-regarded for their vast intellectual curiosity or capacity.
And, of course, I wasn't insulting your intelligence--it's really too bad you took it that way. Given your insinuation that Obama's contemplative speaking patterns make him less than "a moron," I was merely pointing out that, if I were a betting man, I'd place his measurable intellect against yours (or mine, for that matter) any time you like.
Now you can keep marching on in lockstep with the misled soldiers of the right-wing "War on Intellect" (Motto: Fear the Educated, They're Elitists), or you can just acknowledge that comparing Obama to Quayle (or to Bush or Palin) isn't even comparing apples to oranges, it's comparing paper clips to pine cones. - Lexaburn, on 02/20/2009, -2/+7The entire GOP is Dan Quayle.
