There was an unprecedented level of media slant this go around.
Forget Bush, Cheney, Iraq, Afghanistan, the economy, gas prices, Katrina, declining middle class wages, the failure of the banking system, health care, McPalin’s assclownish campaign, Palin’s obvious flaws and non-stop gaffes, etc. etc.
Nope, it was all the media’s fault.
Some in the media actually participated in not so much the ‘who-what-where-when-why’ objective reporting on candidates and positions, those five W’s that I learned when I had a journalism degree so many years ago in college, when the world of journalism was quite different than it is today," she said.
"No, things have changed," she continued. "But complaining? Or whining? Absolutely not. But I am going to call it like I see it. It doesn’t do any good to whine about any of this. But I can call it like I see it. Sometimes it gets me in a lot of trouble when I speak candidly, and I speak from the heart and I do such a thing. But I am going to."
"And there was that media slant this go round," she said. "And unless things change, the GOP had really better can stand together, ’cause we got that on the battlefield also. I call it like I see it and like I lived it on the campaign trail. Not complaining, but dealing with reality."
Not whining, not complaining, just callin’ like I see it, and gosh darn it, WE WOULD’VE WON IF IT WEREN’T FOR THAT BITCH COURIC!!!
That, and…
"So I’m looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra," she said. "And the McCain campaign, love ‘em, you know, they’re a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray."
That’s right — if the McCain campaign hadn’t been a bunch of secular godless heathens, Sarah Palin would be living at the Naval Observatory right now.

Well, gosh darn it. Also.
I wonder how VP Biden is holding up there after Cheney. Must be spooky.
BT !
Has she returned those clothes yet ?
Off topic but I need help_ all of a sudden I am bombarded with the “this is not really a tax cut you will have to pay more in taxes next year ” on Obama’s tax cut for middle class in the last stimulus billl. My understanding is it is an additional tax credit (not a rate cut), of $400 individual, $800 couple for 2009 & 2010. DOn’t know what minium you must earn to get. SS & SSI folks get $250. Unemployed get extended benefits.
Anyone out there can confirm or deny this?
THANKS
Wow, $250, after all these years I find that I am only worth 63% of a “full human”.
But not jobs
“…if the McCain campaign hadn’t been a bunch of secular godless heathens, Sarah Palin would be living
at the Naval Observatoryin a secure and undisclosed location right now….”You betcha, by golly!
And she could be running the Senate
It would be difficult to admit that they lost because the GOP made the decision to make her their VP candidate. They did it for the novelty but it was the equivalent of making Minnie Mouse VP candidate. Except for the fact that we know more about Minnie then we did about Sarah.
And then the GOP made their second decision and that was to not reveal very much about their candidate and not allow her to speak to the media for a couple of weeks after her nomination. The reasons for this were obvious after her first interview but the policy resulted in the media having to create her for themselves, i.e. Tina Fey.
The beauty of the GOP’s and Sarah Palin’s group denial is that she will run again (unless scandal removes her from her governorship before then). Since she apparently hasn’t learned a thing I can only assume it will be another boom for the Democratic party and Tina Fey’s career.
… and guiding policy in Congress … I know it’s true ’cause Sarah winked when she said it !
Who’da thought that Katie Couric would do a hard ball interview? *g*
I will leave that last little praying bit alone.
It must be hard for an idiot to go on TV and then to see the media actually do its job by calling her, uninformed, unprepared, incurious, easily confused and oblivious to everything going on around her.
… and get an award for it ? *g*
“…they’re a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray that I could find more animals to kill from a helicopter…”
Fixed it for ya. You betcha. *wink*
Guess we’ll have Sarah Palin to kick around for quite some time.
I find myself wondering whether the good governor ever daydreams about hunting political opponents from helicopters
Palin-Steele (or Jindal) 2012. Dream Ticket.
Palin Jindal Rush & Steele, the putative GOP leaders, are locked in a furious battle to see which one of them will lead the moribund GOP over the cliff. I, frankly, am hoping for a tie and the final scene will be all four holding hands while leaping over the cliff to the strains of Goetterdaemmerung.
Just a wild guess? Um….Yup.
Naaah. That’d be too difficult for her because they’re smaller than big game. She’d have to have the hunting grounds salted with the prey, like Cheney’s famous “hunting” forays.
Thought maybe she slipped away on an iceburg since we haven’t heard word one since the Trailer Trash War went public several weeks ago.
OK. Ipod reloaded, lunch ate, back to outdoor spring cleanup.
Time for Sarah to cut to the chase, the media favored the Democrats because of WITCHCRAFT. Time to get her witchdoctor out of mothballs and have another intervention. Be sure to get it on video again because the first time was so enlightening to all us godless secular types.
she’ll reappear on the other side of the Bering Straits, announcing that she’s annexed Kamchatka.
*sniff* … y’all are forgettin’ the dimmest bulb of all … Joe the Plumber campaigns against EFCA
Jindal could help out with that, what with his exorcism experience and all…
Here in Illinois, our politicians aren’t “pen-raised” but they tend to end up in the pen eventually.
oh I don’t know. its possible that the only thing Palin has on Joe is that she’s been able to afford better coaching.
Didn’t Michigan’s Granholm say something the other day about Palin doing a disservice to the cause of hot governors?
The “tax cut” at this point is just adjusting the withholding tables, so that just effects how much you pay in so you might get less of a refund or have to pay more in. In order for it to be a real tax cut the actual income tax rates must be changed and I have yet to see them do that. They have time but this should be brought up so people can know either way.
pray, tell.
Good point. He is dumber than a gunny sack full of pipe wrenches.
Shit, I have to shovel the driveway but I don’t think I could find it for the blowing snow. *g*
Best.One.Yet !
Re:

Hey! I have a dog named Minnie Mouse! ANd she would have made a much better VP than Sarah Palin. Knows more commands. Does not slaughter other animals. And cute to boot!
I think someone owes her an apology!
Could we all just hold hands and pray right now? Dear Lord, Save us from this gov of Alaska. And save Alaska too!
There. I feel better already! Thank you, Jesus!
Also an apology for giving her that name, but she was a pound dog and had giant bat ears.
Slaughtering wolves from helicopters and poisoning their pups just isn’t enough for her…
Palin has a slight hurdle before she can run in 2012. She has to be reelected Governor or as a Senator.
We can always hope…
They crash and burn, leaving Jeb Bush standing tall.
Then it would not be a cut. Are you sure about this? what about the $400/$800 credit?
Nahhh!!
Palin could lose both AK elections and walk-on as the Gopper presidential choice because of her experience factor alone…she really took a brutal beating…and then add on the “hot” factor!!!
I recently talked to my accountant and he said something like this was done in the past with this deceptive effect. I doubt it will turn out like this but tax code needs to reflect the the tax cut in order for us paying less in to actually be real
Hey, all y’all.
I’ll step up to the plate. I’ll hold hands with her and pray.
Lord, we are grateful for the opportunity to lead. You have called us to lead your people. To love and feed and care for the flock. Help us to hear your intent, to be your hands in caring for your people. Help us to be better mothers. Help us to help the helpless. Forgive us our unbelief. And, lead us in the paths of righteousness.
No wink.
What if the Rs decided that Rush is the logical candidate for prez?
Would Sarah be VP candidate again?
she is like Rambo with a wink!!
This just control of the animal population, yeah its not pretty but I’m happier that she stops at animals and doesn’t push abortion, cause you know thats people, thats what I am, thats what I would be scared about
That was all the Democrates idea, unless I missed something I never heard a republican say Rush is our leader???
Only if she’s figured out by then what is it exactly that the VP does every day.
maybe God ordained that no one should hold hands with her and pray?
maybe biden was praying too, and God chose to listen to biden?
i don’t know how these things work.
- clueless agnostic
MS Palin was really on top of the food fuel crisis in rural AK. Now a Chevron oil tank farm is endangered as a result of the volcano eruption (you know those mounds that Jindal doesn’t think need monitoring). Lets see if she can live up to the bar that Bush set on Katrina.
she got the questions from her driver, who listens to the radio and plays on his ipod while he’s waiting on her to finish at the dentist and the spa and the lunch meetings.

palin and jindal, a perfect match for the republican ‘talking heads corral’.

While you’re at it, can you pray for the Lord to send us better
Demstrolls ?Why did the head of the RNC apologize for disparaging him in the media? Hint: Because he is the defacto leader of the GOP.
do good, works.
And forgive Sarah for stealing all those clothes and never paying back the RNC. Amen.
She’s had her 15 minutes and been found wanting.
She’s not smart. She’s nowhere near as good-looking as some claim.
And I don’t think that even the carping of us godless Lefties can keep her story running long enough to make her a future candidate, even in the rump Beelzebublican Party.
So can we please forget her?
No, she’s more like Charles Manson.
Ms. Palin likes to be on top.
Hi sweetie. I would, but, I think that’s our job.
“In what sense, Charlie?”
LOL!
Woman is building up some terrible karma. Is that judging? Just saying, it seems that her decisions and actions already have already brought some sorrow to her family.
Me, I buy all my clothes at the thrift store and if they don’t work, I pass them on.
The medias made a huge deal about that and it wasn’t really a big deal. He didn’t crawl to him begging for forgiveness he just explained what he meant. Of course he wouldn’t want to offend Rush he is a huge voice of the conservative movement thats just smart politicing, haha politicing
shoto and blue
it’s in that tpm clip i posted.
unreal.
to animals for a reason, actually for human benefit as far as food, and to protect other animals. yes the methods are not sexy but I guess it gets the job done.
Amended: “Please forgive me for stealing all those clothes from the RNC, but thank you Lord for all the economic stimulation the shopping spree provided. Amen.”
Yeah sadsack, you and your “accountant” are right on top of things allright (/snark)
Ruffian: Take a look at the calculator at http://www.maxi-pedia.com/tax+rates+2009+schedule+table
My modest middle-class income generates quite a nice reduction for 2009 vs. 2008. YMMV
Sadism.
I’m listening now. Thankfully, I had forgotten just exactly how dim-witted she is. Some excellent comedy. Really Maverickey.
I don’t get what you are saying, maybe I’m slow please explain
yeah, watching it, i think, what were people thinking? she was the vice-presidential candidate. scary.
i loooooooooove the pyramid show skit.
and the turkeys, oh my, it still cracks me up. for a myriad of reasons.
off to do some ‘things’. bbl.
Forgive me for not saying so at the time, but I thought your “Ophelia Pain” yesterday was Top Notch!
For around $40,000 in taxable income comparing 2008 and 2009 there is about $165 less tax burden in 2009 and if I get an extra $8 a week on my check from adjusting the withholding tables that works out to around $300 less that I am paying in so I’m in the whole $135 unless the appropriate tax law changes are made right?
Even though she didn’t win couldn’t we find “a secure and undisclosed location right now” and put her there? Please put me out of her misery.
:~)
(that’s an e-moat-icon)
And she would have been a heartbeat away from the Nookyalur Button…the heartbeat of a 72 year-old three-time cancer survivor. Scary.
I wonder if Joe the Plumber knows how to weld. Maybe we stuff them both into the secure and undisclosed location and then have JtP weld the door shut from the inside. You Betcha! *wink*
Please keep the fantasy violence in your game console, folks. Thank you.
You must be bored.
I happen to love fantasy welding. *g*

Someone on another blog I read uses that as their handle. LOL.
Seems the lovely governor was as appalled as the rest of America to watch and listen to her own syntactically challenged responses to even the simplest questions.
Let’s ask them slower next time:
What.
Newspapers.
Do.
You.
Read?
Thanks for covering the Lincoln Dinner, Blue Texan. I’ve been too busy to keep up with all of her inanities.
Sadly, Sarah Palin is dumber than a post and what’s worse is that she is too stupid to understand that she is too stupid to be President.
Why does Sarah Palin hate America?
Sarah Palin is insane. Would someone please get the big hook and pull her off the stage!
Does God insist on prayer partners? The Christian God at least? Just askin’.
who-what-where-when-why
Who the fuck is that woman?
What is she doing up on that stage?
Where am I?
When can I go home?
Why did I drink so much?
So I’m looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra,” she said. “And the McCain campaign, love ‘em, you know, they’re a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray.”
The wording in this quote is important. Palin does not say there was no one to pray with her, she say, there was “nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands and pray with.” The wording, she couldn’t find anyone she wanted to hold hands with and to pray with. Palin is the snob.
