CNN's Dana Bash caught Sarah Palin for an interview in Arizona yesterday before she took off back to Alaska, and Bash asked her about how she affected the ticket, referring to polls indicating she hurt more than she helped.
Palin's response:
Well, you know, I don’t think anybody should give Sarah Palin that much credit that I would trump an economic woeful time in this nation that occurred about two months ago – that my presence on the ticket would trump the economic crisis that America found itself in a couple of months ago, and attribute John McCain’s loss to me.
But now having said that, if I cost John McCain even one vote, I am sorry about that. Because John McCain, I believe, is the American hero. I had believed that it was his time. He is so full of courage and wisdom and experience, that valor that he just embodies, I believe he would have been the best pick. But that is not the Americans’ choice at this time, and realizing that, it’s time to move forward, to move on. I am certainly not one to ever waste time looking backwards and pointing fingers and playing the blame game. I’m no gonna participate in that at all.
When Bash asks her about the rumors she had "gone rogue" and become a "diva," Palin tries to laugh it off, and says: "It is absolutely false that there has been any tension."
Right, governor. Sure. You betcha.

She won't be done with her first term as AK Senator.
Back to the secessionist party.
Right?
Far right!
Are they trying to keep CNN away from talking to Governor Fuck-up?
The mean IQ of the lower 48 just went up a few points.
Any bit of courage or wisdom McCain had was pushed out long ago, so as to make room for greed and power, now he is just plain full of shit.-CEOcitizens,eyes,open
Of course it had nothing to do with her having a brain without two neurons to rub together.
She probably thinks she uses Head & Shoulders to clear up her dendrite problem.
for Sarah Palin.
You did it, girl, you betcha!
(snark off)
Yes indeed, had it not been for the financial crash, she would have been smart as a whip.
Now that this pathetic, dumb bitch is back in Alaska...please let those fucks secede.
that we may have to sell Alaska back to the Russians, at this rate..
I wonder whose party is responsible for the "woeful" time the economy is going through...
She is the definition of white entitlement...
she cost crash more than one vote.
She has cleared our airspace. My hair has stopped hurting.
...
Palin for President/2012. Please.
Sure better than her being second in charge...
Sarah Palin:
But Sarah, for you to say that we are making false allegations about you threatens our free speech rights! Isn't that right, hon?
I have an idea. LET ALASKA SECEDE.
With Ted Stevens as King, Palin as Queen.
"Bow down, subjects!!"
I doubt my great-great-great-great granduncle would approve.
When did saloon-girls start running for governor?
The race is over, they (mcpain/failin) lost, Obama won.
Do we have to listen to her voice still? Do we have to be hearing her jerky searching for words way of talking any longer?
Enough Already ... with this Klip Kvetching (and I ain't even jewish)
Lets get on with the business of Fixing the country.
I'll cross my legs.
This abomination who was thrust upon our society needs to be shown for the stupid, power hungry bitch that she is. I hate to disagree with you but this needs to be driven home to more than just C&Lers...but to every thinking person who might read about this (via teh google) in 3 of 8 years from now.
Posterity being what it is and all.
MsJoanne:
I cannot agree more. Sarah Palin literally does not know how the government works. She literally has no idea what's in the Constitution. She is the genuine article when it comes to End Times whack-job, hateful theology.
John McCain took this nation to the brink of suicide with her selection. We came SO CLOSE to having this lethally ignorant woman running this country.
Never forget!
From Coulter to Malkin, they are singing Palin's praises(WTF?). The fact of the matter is, that palin is dumber than a bag of hammers. But she's a MAVERICK! I want to puke!
Just read Sarah Palin's political prognostications about the outcome of the election that she gave several days before the election:
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/political...
According to Sarah Palin, Barack Obama's landslide election victory was the "right thing" for America!!!
Well, I'll be....
She finally got something RIGHT!!!!!
(P.S. I missed everyone at C&L Election Night. I was visiting the niece and kidlets in D.C. that night. Thankfully they had all their Ivy League Obama supporter friends over and lots and lots of Dom was pouring at 9:45 p.m. when John King did his electoral map and stated very soberly, "No matter which way this goes from now on, there is statistically NO WAY McCain can get to 270!" Pop, pop, pop!!!! the corks went!)
And one more little side note. On the train back yesterday a woman behind me offered me The New York Times and The Washington Post newspapers. Today I see that the NYT from yesterday with the one inch headline OBAMA is already going for a hundred bucks!!! I'd rather keep the newspaper than have another bottle of Dom!
the Miami Herald here yesterday. Hopefully I can find one sitting on a foreclosed home's driveway...
Dumber than a box of rocks and liar. If she is the future of the republican party goodbuy republicans.
Let her come forth as the leader of Know Knothing Knation.
She is exactly what they want. A seemingly down-home, uneducated twit who hates the right people, is appropriately superstitious, and with whom they'd like to have a
beershag.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAKyHhuw1HA
To be religious does not mean you have to lack intelligence, but to be blindly religious, and lack intelligence makes one a danger to all living things!
Look inside Sarah and reflect upon the black empty void between you ears. Enlightenment is blissful, you should try it.
Now on to the arrest of BushCo!
Why is C&L wasting bandwidth posting about some little known crazy irrelevant fringe lady?
guess the entire election was totally irrelevent
why do you hate america?
No, only Palin was irrelevent. McCain gambled when he picked a poorly educated, small-town gal who likes to wink at the camera during debates for the VICE PRESIDENCY. He lost the whole pot on that gamble.
Also, having an extreme dislike for Palin has nothing to do with patriotism, as your "hate America" comment implies. She knows nothing of the world beyond Alaskan borders, including the other 49 states. Further, why can't you even take the effort to use a capital "A" when you write the name of the country of which you are so proud? Just hold the shift key.
Well it is never a wrong time to inform people of just how close we came to having this nut a melanoma eruption away from the Presidency. And if nothing is done now she may raise her idiotic head in 4 years or 8 years. It is best to bury this idiot before she tries to resurrect her political life.
Get it now?
Once ,just once I'd love to hear a reporter use the Dan Aykroyd line from SNL news update in reply to Jane Curtin .....
"sarah you ignorant s*** to finish up an interview w/ her
watch palin label alaskans as a racial minority
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtFDe4k4QXU
you just hate her and todd because you fear what you dont understand
we need a civil rights movement for the oppressed alaskan minority
i hear that soon, they will be losing their right to marry
Yeah, back to the ancestral doublewide, grifters.
I'm so sick of looking at and listening to Sarah Palin. I'm hoping for a break, at least for the rest of the year, from exposure to her frontier wisdom. I even hope Tina Fey will give it a rest.
dont care how sick you are...we must continue posting the idiocy of this woman and the rest of her wingnutty crew
never again should this country elect a george bush
so we need to remind america every day about how ignorant and anti education the far right is
Never forget...and never allow it to happen again.
No kidding. First step is to take NCLB out in back and put a bullet through its head.
We need to TEACH, not TEST. The way NCLB is structured, it only measures a student's ability to take a test, not actual mastery of the subject or the processes therein. (The difference here is between a student who has memorized ten words on a spelling list and can ONLY spell those ten words, and a student who can recognize phonemes and spell a word they've never actually seen.)
Amen. I'm so glad my kids are out of school. This NCLB is an abomination. I've heard more teachers say that kids only know how to take tests but haven't really learned anything.
on Entertainment Tonight and whatever those celebrity shows are that run after the national network news. At least it will get high circulation.
it would get to the desired population.
WE know she's an uneducated, stupid, power hungry tool...but the American Idol crowd needs to know...and they need it spelled out just WHY that is important...in 3rd grade level terms.
NCLB, indeed. (rolling eyes)
Abso-fucking-lutely Unc. This cannot be said often enough!!
By the way, how ya doin?
I missed the sarcasm in your first post!
her ability to spend so much time (in front of cameras) talking while saying SO GODDAMN LITTLE.
Exactly. She didn't answer the question. And folks have attributed her success in Alaska to tackling issues where there's already a consensus - making her nothing more than another inept, bumbling management wannabe.
PALIN mascot for the anti-intellect movement. joe the plumber is back up mascot
taking propane torches out to heat the gas pipes when the toilet backs up in the middle of the night, all whacked-out on meth...
can go back to slaughtering all the wolves and other assorted wild critters all she wants but Kharma is a bitch and will bite her frostbitten heart.
Sarah da Gov
Sarah da Gov
She's dumb but she looks good
So what's not to love?
She's in the chopper sniping from above ...
It's Sarah, sweet Sarah da Gov
Interesting parallelism wolves/bitch.
give the gal a break! sure shes not ready for prime time as a vp , but arent you glad she was picked by mccain?, she did more for the democrats then they can repay her for! im sure she feels bad enough being used by the republicans let the woman go home with your gratitude, sara stay well, we hardly knew yah!
Her ultimate demise will make fascinating T.V.
See: Katherine Harris
(sp?)
Well ya know, it's like I've said before and will most likely say again and in the future probably, but that I just can't seem to get her real American six-pack voice outta my doggone head, ya know.
I hear what yer sayin' and I'm thinkin' the same thing. That mavericky accent just keeps rattlin' around ya know? I think she tries her best speakin' that Englishy American language, but ya know when you've never been to no other geomagraphical locations ya kinda get those local dialectical thing-a-ma-jings stuck to the way ya talk. But Joe Sixpack and Joe the Plumber can tell what she's sayin', so she ain't don't not gotta worry about the media elite, and them intelligentsia who are tryin' to talk all fancy.
these are the same people that use bullets to jerryrig fuses boxes in their cars...and windup shooting their nuts off when the car is started...or use lighted matches to peer into gas cans to see if they're empty.
Haven't heard that one in years!
was when Caribou Barbie could see Alaska from the window of her arriving flight.
She reminds me of the annoying relative that invites themselves over for a weekend visit and winds up staying a month!
But look at all those parting gifts she got (a whole new wardrobe for she & Todd for just under $200,000)
I doubt most of what she's been wearing on the campaign trail will be useful in AK most of the year.
Conventional wisdom is never questioned strongly enough.
Sure, the economic woes defeate the Republicans! But why?
Because Republican policy lead directly to those woes.
Ergo, Republican policy lead to Republican defeat.
as it should be.
I continue to encounter immigrants who have mastered the English language beyond Bible Spice. The more I read her quotes, I more I think her next gig should be as a Cognitive Dissonance poster child.
While I must admit I'm enjoying the schadenfreude, having her disappear will clear my mind of her babble. I've had a tough time writing cogent sentences since her appearance on the national scene.
One of the funniest things I ever saw was when I was in a liquor store in Dallas worked by Africans. One African behind the counter was tall and slim, and held himself remarkably erect. He spoke flawless English with a heavy French accent, and had a strong sense of dignity about him. I even watched how I spoke around him, so as not to sound ungrammatical. Then one of the local black guys came in with the, "Yo brother..." kind of greeting, and this African looked slightly baffled why he was being addressed that way, but was still a very gracious clerk.
I don't think in any way we have heard the last of SarahBarbie. There are probably more investigations comming her way such as their new home and who paid for and built it similar to Ted Steven's home.
I think also that Stevens will be very much like Larry Craig be welcomed with open arms in the Senate should he win the seat in spite of the fact he is a convicted criminal. After all he is "one of them". Birds of a feather flock together.
and THAT was her actual quote; a run-on, can't get a word in edgewise aural intellectual assault. Kee-rist, I'm sick of this broad!
I think her demise was when asked about Roe vs Wade she said, 'Golly I guess those are the only alternatives to the bridge to nowhere'.
Bada-BING!
I want to know why she was able to use the plane to take her all the way back to Alaska after the campaign was over.
Palin cost McCain more than one vote, believe me. And the story on this site about Carl Cameron's relating her lack of knowledge says it all--thinking Africa was a country, not knowing the countries involved in NAFTA? My daughter like to toss around the term "ditzoid." If indeed such a word is in the dictionary, Palin's picture should accompany it.
uh, yeah!
The correct mathematical term for the number of votes Sarah Palin cost John McCain is shitload.
for choosing this bag of nuts that squirrels would discard, as your running mate.
I look forward to the time when we can't even remember who ran against President Obama in his first term as Commander in Chief.
From her statement and the video I can say this about madam moose-ilini:
- one of her former advisers recently taught her the word "trump".
- She picked up the line she is repeating from one of her drunken supporters. Expect to hear her repeat it ad nauseum for a while.
- things sure are different in palin-world without a personal stylist, make up assistant, a wardrobe consultant and a credit card with no limit [that belongs to someone else]
I remember an interview where Chimpy referred to Africa as a country, too. Thank God we have been spared more of such ignorance, at least for a while.
I guess we won't have to worry about our new leader groping the Chancellor of Germany.
I think it was the talent portion of the competition that did her in.
It's not Palin's fault. She did what they brought her in to do.
It's the fault of those who chose her in the first place.
that Palin got a bad rep. She did it all by herself right from the first interview.
She should NOT have accepted the nomination - doesnt she know her own limits ? or is she so greedy and stupid that she cant see pass her nose ? She said on the interview with Kathy taht she didnt blink when asked because she is so ready to serve the country. yeah right ! She is so ready to fix her eyes on the financial loot / gains -the power, the $150,000 (or more) wardrobe, free gifts, more free gifts for her and family, etc, etc.
She should stay in Wasilla and continue with small town politics.
Republicans who think they can repackage her for 2012 should think really hard and long about it. We have long memories and we shall NOT forget !
say about god?
maybe he has chosen her for a different path?
speakers tour circuit?
wall mart ground breaking ceremony?
kindergarten teacher?
president of alaska?
It almost endears me to the shiftless, manipulative and greedily pathetic xtian soul which Palin dreams that she actually possesses.
Dana Bash rocks. She landed a spontaneous interview when she wasn't even really expecting to get this timeless jewel in American media.
When I heard Sarah Palin speak to Joe the Plumber on a podium, admiring his 'steel toe boots', I began to wonder just whose vote they were courting.
I worked in the Obama campaign. It was a shame what some neocons did to this decent man. He and his wife and children received death threats daily. We were bombarded with pranks,hate mail,threats and intimidation. Strangely enough, a lot of the people who do that kind of behavior are not even registered to vote! If the GOP doesn't distance itself from the extremists,its going to be worse off than it is already.
Racism is a mental health issue that needs to be given high priority by the American Psychiatric Association. Shock Jocks are ruining a generation of Young Americans- When I travel abroad, I often see young Americans behaving very badly. From bigoted behavior, harassing strangers, to initiating burping and farting contests,it's not pretty.
