Sarah Palin was really good at talking out both sides of her mouth during her interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer today. No sooner had her utterly phony pledge to "aid" the Obama administration going forward come out of her mouth than she said this:

PALIN: Well, I still am concerned about that association with Bill Ayers. And if anybody still wants to talk about it, I will, because this is an unrepentant domestic terrorist who had campaigned to blow up, to destroy our Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol. That's an association that still bothers me.

And I think it's still fair to talk about it. However the campaign is over. That chapter is closed. Now is the time to move on and to, again, make sure that all of us are doing all that we can to progress this nation.

Keep us secure, get the economy back on the right track, and many of us do have some ideas on how to do that and hopefully we'll be able to put all of that wisdom and experience to good use together.

BLITZER: So looking back, you don't regret that tough language during the campaign?

PALIN: No, and I do not think that it is off-base nor mean-spirited, nor negative campaigning to call someone out on their associations and on their record. And that's why I did it.

Funny thing about that: When Max Blumenthal and I dug up her multiple associations with far-right extremists in Alaska -- people who fomented for Alaska's secession, indulged in militia-organizing activities, fawned over Bo Gritz, and whose leader was murdered in an explosives deal gone bad -- and when CNN aired that information, here's what we heard from the McCain campaign:

CNN is furthering a smear with this report, no different than if your network ran a piece questioning Senator Obama's religion. No serious news organization has tried to make this connection, and it is unfortunate that CNN would be the first.

It's kind of hard to tell just exactly how discussing the record of Palin's conduct in public office, enabling and collaborating with far-right extremists, is somehow similar to the bogus claims that Obama is Muslim, or has anything at all to do with Palin's religion.

But Palin clearly has a double standard when it comes to bringing up "associations."

How can palin turn the page of anything, when apparently to all intents and purposes, she doesn't read?

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
Kato Palin wants Steven's senate seat, to increase her experience. She wants the Presidency in 2012.
We have four years to hit her, and hard. We cannot stop.
As for suggesting that C&L lose the Palin coverage, when was the last time you shouted at your TV and it listened?

Maybe that's why she didn't want her medical records released...

or have a learning disability, because wow, that woman sure can talk!! She gets going and goes on and on and on. Might be a nervous habit, but it sure is grating. I have no interest in what she says at all.

It's funny because I don't recall anyone in the MSM following up on that association.

We talked about it here, but out in the campaign world, not so much.

I never understood that, but it seemed as though the Obama people didn't think they should do that tit for tat thingy on that issue.

palin would claim tit for tat was sexist.

What is tat, where I can get it, and exchange it for the other?

used to make hand-tatted doilies.

They are pretty.

It's not really up to Obama anymore. He should just ignore her. She is like a fly that needs to be squished. When she makes her pat "associations" comment (I've heard her say those exact words now several times.) the responsible person interviewing her SHOULD say, "Well speaking of associations, what can you tell us about your association with the Alaska succesionists?" or "What can you tell us about your association with reverand Muthy?" or whatever the hell that guy's name is.

I really really really cannot stand Sarah Palin. I hope she fizzles... and FAST!

when our television stopped working we left it that way.
What mendacity. I don't need these offensive turds to tell
me what to think.

Times up Caribou Barbie! Go home.

You gotta love how she didn't want to talk to anyone during the campaign, but now she can't shut up.

Craves the limelight like a narcotics fix. Has to seek it, even in negative ways. Maybe if the MSM ignores her, she'll go away. But they won't because they are addicted, too. And the GOP complained about Obama's celebrity! Everything, including avoiding talk about extremists, IOKIYAR.

Use the white-hot spotlight of exposure to burn her out and away. Then focus on the next subject, Bobby Jindal.
Burn them before the ReBUBlicans elect them.
Burn them all.

I don't think her lack of ability to speak out much during the campaign was her choice . . . I'm certain the Republicans kept a short leash on her knowing her lack of knowledge and potential for idiotic answers. I agree with thesloan . . . let her rant . . . she's the best tool for coversion to Democratic Party we have. Won't be long before she really "Steps in it" and will cause great grief and embarrassment to the neocons.

She speaks in tongues.
Bless her heart.

Doubt she kisses that way.

That is one thing I Do Not want to find out.
Hasta. Work Calls.

Interesting thing is the Rituale Romanum lists glossolalia as one of the symptoms to look for in demonic possession.

sarah palin without her trowled on makeup:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-emQAsGMeQ

Bet she licks far right religous wingnut ass with it though.

That is what her church believes in. Yet you ask them what does it mean they will tell you they don't know. People are so dumb to fall for this kind of cramp. My husband was in the military and retired after 21 yrs service. He spent his time working the chaplains corp as an assistant to the different chaplains. The soldier needed to know how to setup the different services. Those church's like Palins are really out there. He said some would talk in tongues and he would ask what they were saying. They didn't know what they were saying.

King just let Palin go.....she went on and on with irrelevant bullshit meant only to resurrect her fucked up image....this selfish woman has stolen Dubya's act.

And that voice is still torture.

I am so tired of this idiot. It is almost time to bury her with an avalanche of facts about her associations once again.

...and hearing her nonsensical bullshit again. I brought it on myself. I knew better, yet I listened anyway.

This dumb bitch is a contradiction in every thing she says and every position she takes.

How is the wedding going for her daughter? No noise on that one. What is her son doing over in Iraq now? ...I'm just curious...pounding the pavement with the grunts or serving gravy in the green zone? Same with McCain's son?? Just curious.

Otherwise, this idiot has never heard the expression "what's good for the goose is good for the gander". Her associations worry me a LOT more than the ones Obama has had. I see a lot more substance in Reverend Wright's comments and in Bill Ayers actions than I do in being "de-witched" and compliments outright a ".. far-right extremists in Alaska -- people who fomented for Alaska's secession, indulged in militia-organizing activities, fawned over Bo Gritz, and whose leader was murdered in an explosives deal gone bad.."

Eat sh*t and bark at the moon up there in Alaska, and leave us "real Americans" alone. Dumb ass.

It was so hard for me to listen to the world according to that psychotic fool on King.

Obama's victory muzzled this incredibly annoying woman. Todd Palin is either a manic depressant, or has completely lost his hearing and and refuses to tell that bitch.

If it wasn't for the Borg this woman would be that close to the oval office and that is a nightmare that we wont have to worry about.

I get the common touch stuff, but glorifing stupid, that is a trait that repubs have got to get rid of if they EVER want to be taken as anything more than a well financed Libertarian party.

Can we just cut this bearded clam off already? Who gives a rat's fart what she thinks? She's DONE - she's OVER.

What squeaks more: a rat's voice, a rat's fart, or sarah palin?

D) All of the above

Did you hear what McCain said? What is the difference between Palin and a Pit bull? Eventually the pit bull will let loose. He has her just right.

What's next. The socialist card? She would have been on the side of the British during the revolution. George Washington would have been a terrorist and Thomas Jefferson would have been palling around with him. I sure hope that Begich wins in Alaska so that she has no possibility to get on the national stage as a Senator.

What every happened about her house and who paid for it? She was up to her eyeballs in scandal. Maybe just wait until she tries to emerge in 2 or 4 years. And that voice makes me cringe just thinking about it.

Why hasn't McCain come to Palins rescue for all the stuff the media is hitting her with?

He knows that it all true.

Needs to paddle her deerskin canoe to Siberia for some good old fashioned exile. I would ask why the networks are still enabling her but I suppose that'd be rhetorical.

Ooh...don't say paddle...it's too early to feel the tingles yet.

I think the mainstream media is one smart cookie. They let her keep on talking, talking, talking, and talking because she makes herself look foolish and dumb. Sooner or later some of those governors are going to shut her up. She keeps saying if there is a door that opens up then she will go through it. I say get hammer and nails to those doors so she can't get out. Enough is enough. She has had her 15 min of fame. The Diva must go.

Your right wing government doesn't believe in freedom of association of speech, as given you by the 1st Amendment.

Prosecuting attorney in Holy Land Foundation trial in Dallas maintained that speech indicates a state of mind, and can't be free;

Either deliver proof of some insidious terrorist snuggle-bunnies going on between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama, or simply Shut. The. F--k. Up.

We're not hearing of any, because there isn't any.

But, but, but, but......IOKIYAR!

Johnny Mac really lowered the bar when he chose SP as his VP.
It really is the sentence to nowhere when she speaks. Between now and 2012 she really should learn how to string a sentence together that makes sense. If I was an English teacher I'd show my kids her as an example of how not to speak.

Why is she always throwing in an unnecessary "again" when she speaks

... cover the sound of misfiring synapses. And it sounds better than, "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Obama should name Ayers Secretary of Education just to explode Falin's head.

And Reverend Wright as his envoy to the Vatican.

To quote a great man, "Once you go Vatican, you can't go back again."

that Obama is the Commander in Chief elect? And According to the GOP, questioning the President ( or the President-elect, by extention ) in the time of war is not allowed!!! And since we are still at war... I expect all the right wingers to now ( or at least on Jan. 20th ) STFU.

And can we pay this woman to go away? Let her keep the dang clothes, if it will shut her up...

Heh, I hadn't thought of that simple point. Will be fun to see what they say then.

If this week link in the GOP chain could read, she would know that she is beating a dead horse. This relationship via association has no legs and was vetted during the primary. Why does the media continue to cover this stupid little person?

Sad to say when she opens her mouth she doesn't say anything. Its hard to realize that she actually has a degree in journalism. She sounds like a high school. Really. Now I am not downing people who just have a high school degree because that is all I have but at least I don't try to talk about things I know nothing about. She is thrilled to be stupid.

This poor excuse for a god-fearing xtian should simply STFU.

You LOST girl, get over it already. Do all the planning you want for '12 and beyond, but do it quietly. You are in minute 16 already...

And Alaskans, why do you put up with this petulant bitch? She represents no-one but herself.

I just can't take her anymore.

I wasn't aware she was up for the taking.

This is torture. Stop the world let her get the hell off already. Oh please, pleeeeeeeeeeeese stop.

Doesn't she have a job? One that has given her the much touted "executive experience"? Maybe she should just shut up and go back to work.

I hope Palin stays in the limelight. More interviews!

The woman is truly unhinged and a gift to the Democrats.

That's right, hinges squeak too.

Especially rusty ones on screen doors falling off their trailor entrance.

You Betcha!

Let Sarah and the rest of her Nazi Lite Party cuckoos have all of the airtime that they desire; let them show the extent of their lunacy now while many people are still paying attention.

Let's have some close-ups of the worship services in which these nut-jobs participate.

Let's watch and listen while they blether in "tongues" and speak of the rapture and the end times that they would like to bring to us.

I dunno know, I just got a new black hooded ritual robe, waddya bet that spook people more?

They'll think I'm a Catlick priest and hide their young boys behind them.

And throwing in a "there" there too, dontcha know.

OT but this is important. It looks like Stevens could very easily lose in the great state of Alaska. And Franken could easily win a recount. And Chambliss could lose too in Georgia. That would give the Dems 60 votes in the senate...... including (hold you nose) Lieberman. You know what? I'm kinda hoping that Chambliss wins so that Lieberman has nothing to blackmail us Dems with. How about you?

I just saw her on tv speaking live to the Republican governors conference or something. She was talking about the way forward for her party and whatever. At one point she was talking about the campaign and she thanked all sorts of groups including the "prayer warriors"

She asked the crowd, do you remember Joe the plumber? She said Joe made people feel comforted.

Good morning Patricia. I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on our victory. I also didn't see you here on election night. After the nonstop commenting over the last month and more it felt good to step back for a few days and take a long needed breath. Good to see you back. We need to get this Lieberman thing out of the way soon so I am asking you to weigh in on anything Lieberman in the near future. Your voice is listened to and welcome.
Sorry that you have to be so close to Palin. Right now. She is in your stare isn't she? Bummer. A little too close for comfort for me.

Hi there Capt. how's bunny rabbit? ;)

This has been a week from hell. Tuesday we adopted a little dog from the humane society and last night it attacked my cat. The cat has been checked out and he's okay, but I had to take the little dog back to the shelter this morning. It broke my heart, but I couldn't live in that situation not knowing when it might happen again.

I'm kind of hit and miss on the computer these days. I too needed some time out from all the excitement of the first of the month. I just want to bask in the knowledge that Palin is not going to be working in DC for at least four years.

... a) the governor's conference winds down and then b) the Senate election is decided in Alaska. Even if you are athiest or agnostic, PRAY for the Dem Candidiate(can't remember his name) to win this election.

Otherwise, I fear we'll be subjected to "non-stop Sarah" for-Ever!!

Believe it or not, this morning Joe Scarborough said Palin was "over doing it" with all these interviews she's doing.

To me she's reinforcing what we all believed, she's nothing but hot air and a first class opportunist.

I thought joe was suspended

Although I woulda recommended a paddlin'.

The more I try to listen to Palin the more I can't really tolerate her nonsense.All things equal, I believe Palin does NOT have half the ability Obama does.

You know what? I saw Palin on Larry King (I know, I know. Shut up!) and it looked like she had a lower lip problem. Linda like the Greta Van Shithead person and Dick (Head) Morris. Then I remembered that Greta just interviewed the Pit Bull. Do you think that lower lip thingy is contagious? Maybe Hannity will come up with the problem is a few days.

Listening to her speak this morning, I realized most of the time she never completes a sentence. One thought just sort of bumps into another as she rambles on.

Kinda like my commentary herein.

LOL ;)

She's bi-polar! Youbetcha!

the manic phase. Gaack!!

Too friggin funny!

"Keep us secure, get the economy back on the right track, and many of us do have some ideas on how to do that and hopefully we'll be able to put all of that wisdom and experience to good use together."

Please, Palin, you really don't have much of either wisdom or experience to off with respect to anything that has more impact than your immediate family. In fact, your wisdom and experiences don't really seem to move that along in the direction I think you'd prefer, either. How are so you disillusioned? How can you possibly have convinced yourself that you are capable of being the leader of the free world? Can you be that stupid? Please, go away.

I'll only need sarah's experience the next time I make a jello salad.

And I hate jello salad.

... seriously, who comes up with these recipes? Ugh...

Nobody is more nauseated by Sarah Palin than I am, yet I watched portions of these interviews. We have to face it. These shows, such as Larry King Live and Saturday Night Live, are driven by ratings. When Palin is a guest, the number go way up. SNL had its biggest ratings in 14 years when she appeared on the program. So, we can piss & moan all we want about this imbecile continuing to plague our homes, but we're the reason for it. If you've watched any of her appearances, you're feeding the monster. She will only go away when everybody stops tuning in. But, because Palin is not unlike a bloody highway accident, everybody is rubber-necking, hoping to catch a glimpse of her before the men in the white coats come to take her away. Maybe now, her over-exposure in the media is beginning to bore people and they're not tuning in. That is our only hope of getting this borderline illiterate, evangelical pro-life creationist out of lives and our politics once and for all.

why won't this retarded pull-cord barbie just GO AWAY! We all hate you, go back to alaska and be shady there!

Let's start campaigning for Palin now and don't stop until 2012. First we'll highlight her socialist program with spreading the wealth from the oil companies to every Alaskan resident. Then run endless vids showing Palin giving props to the AIP. Let's not forget her pork record. She gives us so much to work with, surely we can come up with a top notch campaign to make sure she never shows her face in public again. We'd be doing the world a favor.

did he once bring up the aip?

did he once bring up the fact that when palin and mccain started attacking obama in regards ayres, the death threats towards he and his family increased?

does she even know who ayres is?

does she know the difference between blowing up a bathroom and the entire pentagon?

the rhetoric of the weathermen was absurd, but they were incompetent...kids without direction

the face of the republican party

Har.

But seriously, I have no use for The Beard or his crappy show, either. Altso. There.

)O(

sarah's recipe for Baked Alaska:

Ignore the climate change.

Drum roll please!!!

Needs a lot of butter to get that roll down.

She certainly is a trend setter! Usually vice presidential candidates on the losing ticket go the way of Geraldine Ferraro (nowhere, painfully and slowly). Or are Americans the trend setters? Do Americans actually care to hear what this bimbo has to say anymore? I certainly don't want to hear or see this culture war, harpy mom ever again. By the way, her infant has more presence in an interview.

about what she has to say...but the media is telling us we do!

.

I'm hoping that this is just the media getting it's collective rocks off en masse since they were denied access to Palin throughout the campaign. They can justify it as "'Mericans want to know what she thinks" for the first interview, after getting that they can let her go. You know if CNN is going to get an interview all the other "news" outlets will have to get one too just to prove that they're as relevant as everybody else. Don't think the media "herd" mentality needs to be belabored.

Sarah's lucky, she gets an extra minute but Warhol's Law is still in effect imho.

Yr a ho?

)O(

Interesting, but the bar where my start button is abbreviates this thread's title as, "Palin: Bringing up ass..."

I just noticed,mine too!!!..lolol. Here sara,have all the rope you want. You would think the republican owned MSM would want to make her dissapear. TV off,time to go watch some paint dry.

)O(

'Nuff said.

I swear to god I am going to start stabbing jaws!

Palin, go away... you have nothing of substance to say, you have zero real accomplishments, you have the acumen of a common fruit fly, and your voice is like nails on a chalk board. Go AWAY...

The media is STILL all over the 'Gore invented the internet' line, but can't be bothered to get the facts straight on Palin's 'accomplishments.'

C&L should follow Malloy's lead and never, ever, ever mention this woman again. SHE'S HAD HER 15 MINUTES NOW PLEASE STOP!

She is a tired old piece of propaganda. Enough.

I'll bet that you could have a beer with her...

...or four, or a case...whisky would render me unconscious faster.

... club me over the head with the frackin' bottle. That way, I'll know I was unconscious, and not so drunk I might have done something I'd regret ...

These "journalists" finally get a chance to interview Palin and they allow her to run the interviews and slide by on softball questions.

The proper follow up to this "associations" business would have been to ask Palin about Todd's membership in the AIP and her own support of the AIP.

It is really a bizarre world when Katie Couric is the toughist journalist out there and all she did was ask questions like "What newspapers do you read" and "Explain your foreign policy experience".

I've had enough of Palin. However, if the Republicans want to keep throwing her in the ring, no worries. So many people (Republicans, Democrats and Independents) absolutely loathe her that she will actually be useful in uniting the country . . . against her.

is to hold her to her words. Demand to know if she's saying Obama is a threat or not. If not, how dare she use such scaremongering rhetoric? If yes, why does she say she'd be honored to work with him? Doesn't that make her pro-terrorist as well? God, do we need some real journalists.

let's see her college transcripts.

Did this putz actually go to class...or did she earn her credits outside the classroom.

which is a step above crayon painting, and she went to crappy schools no less.

I mean, seriously... all she had to do was to "communicate" during the campaign and she failed miserably.

Why does she keep on getting free airtime? There should be some minium standards in order to have a national platform, and this lady is woefully unqualified.

Gosh...it's amazing how much stupid you can cram onto one screen when those two mental midgets talk to one another.

.... digital, hi-def stupid. Mandatory by February 2009.

Jesus, this chick is like herpes. You can't get rid of her. Doesn't she have a state to govern?

attention whore is two words, right?

Maybe she's figured out that the best way to keep from getting knocked up is to keep running her mouth.

*LOL* Holy shit, that's funny.

People,
She not only pals with a separatist, she sleeps with one and has breed with him, too!

.

If Obama were only the Head of State, as the Queen of England is, he would be perfect for the job. He will undoubtedly succeed greatly in that ceremonious capacity; but Americans and the world have no idea how he will govern as the Chief Executive, Chief Legislator, Chief Diplomat, or especially as the Commander in Chief.

I do not doubt that Obama will bring change. But will he bring the “Change We Need” as he so vehemently promised? We’ll see…
www.isthisthechangeweneed.com

That's all rather subjective don'tcha think?

The election is over. You lost. Time to go home now.

Seriously. I wish CNN would stop giving a voice to stoopid. She's brutal.

to be a player on "Are you Smarter Than A Fifth Grader".

Palin is as hyper-partisan, as dumb, as narcassistic, and as intellectually incurious as King George. She thinks it is OK to questions Obama's links to Bill Ayers and yet it is not OK to questions her and her husband's links to a violent seccessionist group.

Mark my words: She will never win the presidency or the vice presidency. Her only shot at national office is to win a Senate or House seat in Alaska.

Palin talks about wanting to "progress the nation." Anyone see anything wrong with that phrase? She probably thinks it's a stylistic choice of words. And even if someone explained her error to her, she would be like a deer in the headlights. She wouldn't get it.

While Palin is talking, harping, really, about alleged associations of now President-elect Obama, it's only fair to call her out on her associations with the John Birch Society, the Alaska Independent Party, with Newt Gingrich, with anti-abortionists and bigots and haters and their money and resources, and with members of her extreme pentacostal/fundamentalist church in Wasilia where looneyism is thriving. I'm sure she is very proud of all these associations, which shows how extremely marginal she really is, while she pretends to be populist and conservative. Her positions are about as radical and extreme as can be. And she associates with far scarier people than someone who in his youth was radical, like many people were at that time when politics was more extremely divorced from the needs of most average Americans. And most of us outgrew being radical. Palin says now we should move on. And, on that point, I agree. I just wish she would shut her yap about William Ayers already. It's way old. Just drop it, be-yatch.

Thank you John McCain for unleashing this insufferable woman onto the world.

This worthless bimbo doesn't even understand that her bigotry led to death threats against Obama.

Or, maybe, she doesn't care:
