Sarah Palin's Media Stalker Greta Van Susteren is Stunned that Palin Quit
By John Amato Saturday Jul 04, 2009 5:45am
Greta Van Susteren, FOX News' serial stalker of Sarah Palin, was in shock over the announcement that Palin quit her job. When asked about what this means, she said...
Greta:...It's hard to tell if she's giving up or gearing up and that I don't know...
Greta whined about all the ethics complaints that were filed against Sarah Palin and said that she could get disheartened. Really? She QUIT her job and quit on the people of Alaska. She's proved that she's unfit for duty. And it's not only me saying it.
Some Republican strategists expressed skepticism about Palin's decision. "I'm not smart enough to see the strategy in this," said John Weaver, a senior party strategist. "Good point guards don't quit and walk off the court."
If she can't handle criticism from bloggers, then how could she handle al-Qaeda? And conservatives like Greta should stop complaining about attacks on her and her family because they started the trend by holding her family out as public political props, and have never stopped. I'm not condoning the personal attacks in any way -- we avoided them at C&L and kept our criticism focused on her abilities (or lack thereof) and her public behavior as a candidate and a public official. It's up to you to decide how she's been treated.
But conservatives are total hypocrites on this issue and the media allows them to get away with it. They've made their living out of smearing anyone on the left. The Clintons have been subjected to the lowest attacks possible. I haven't seen anyone write widely published books that calls her a lesbian, or have I missed that one? Or that she murdered someone like, oh...Vince Foster.
On the September 19 and 20 broadcasts of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh resurrected his scurrilous suggestion that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) had then-deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster murdered while she was first lady.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. And then we can talk about the scurrilous and wingnutty "birther" attacks on President Obama, but you get my point.
Even Villagers are wondering what she's doing.
In a rambling press conference, the Alaska governor never really explained why this day was better than all other days. If she'd waited three days, she would have owned the news cycle. Perhaps she was declaring early independence?
The larger reason for Palin's early departure was that she was having no fun. Ever since she returned to Alaska from the national stage, being governor has been a chore. Her political opponents have launched 15 ethics charges against her. The state economy has turned sour, and she got into an ugly squabble over federal stimulus funds. It's much more enjoyable to travel the country waving to adoring crowds of GOP activists...read on
Her presser was eerily similar to that of disgraced Gov. Mark Sanford. She was rambling on about sports analogies and Abe Lincoln.
Max Blumenthal writes: Did a Scandal Sink the U.S.S. Palin?
Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002. The home was built just two months before Palin began campaigning for governor, a job which would have provided her enhanced power to grant building contracts in the wide-open state.
SBS has close ties to the Palins. The company has not only sponsored Todd Palin's snowmobile team, according to the Village Voice's Wayne Barrett, it hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004...read on
If there's not a scandal brewing, then there's no way she'll stay out of politics. Will she end up hosting FOX & Friends, maybe do a little dancing on ABC?

"I'm not smart enough to see the strategy in this," said John Weaver, a senior party strategist.
What do you mean Greta? Are you saying you don't believe her stated reasons for resigning and her claim that she is out of politics for good?
Palin stinks of scandal. It's harsh when the climate changes and the lining of the pockets era fades. Perhaps the sight of pitch forks in Alaska put a lump in her throat.
...do I smell tar?
You bring the tar, I'll bring the feathers. Somebody else, go look for a rail to ride her out of town on!
I thought he meant my Gauloises.
that is the call for rethugs.
37 years after Watergate, it is still the main reason driving thugs and Payme.
Faux, here we come!
Greta says there were no attacks on the Clinton children.
Greta says bloggers were open season on her.
Greta is a blind, deaf, dumb bimbo.
With a hare-lip...
Are you saying that she has a facial deformity or are you saying that people with facial deformities are stupid, or both? Explain please.
to pretend to be superior...
And it worked...
I'm a diskweed!
GVS said there were no attacks on Chelsea Clinton?
"White House dog"
"Janet Reno was her dad"
What a stupid bitch.
is that she's not gonna be around as much to make fun of.
Other than that: Win-Win.
If she truly is dropping out of the public light, I'm not gonna miss that harpy even one little bit.
Once she crawls back under her rock in Alaska they should pour a giant concrete slab on top of it, then find and kill the idiot who flipped it over in the first place.
Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder?
Abstinence makes the heart grow fondler.
Hehe...I love it. Greta's all flummoxed because her increasing involvement with the Palin family didn't make her privy to the reasoning behind this. First Dude takes Greta on a snowmobile ride and she tosses all objectivity out the window.
I love it when the pocket media discovers that they were just tools to be used by the Republican smear machine.
Now she is a fish. She's devolving.
That's just her personal feminine hygiene habits.
When the going gets tough, the American Taliban always tend to run away. Maybe she's been cannoodling with Sanford or Michelle Bachman.
cannoodling? I think Sanford calls it "Sparking"
Then its possible that there is no rational reason for her actions. If she's a true narcissist its possible that she's retreating from a stage that wasn't validating her narcissism, to a smaller one. Delusional people will often retreat when faced with challenges to their delusions. And certainly on a national stage very few serious people were willing to validate Palin's view of her own importance.
Still, I'm hoping its really a scandal. Private sex tape (possibly bdsm) released on the internet is what I'm rooting for.
ex brother in law fired, what is the use of being Governor anyway?
about being president and getting your cigar moistened.
republican....Priceless...!
So Greta's all flummoxed that her phony candidate with a phony image of competence that the manipulative and fraudulent media helped to promote quits? No lie lasts forever, Greta. Perhaps you and the MSM should be in the business of telling the truth, not spinning lies and propaganda for your corporate masters.
let me see her in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs before xmas!
but she's all "mavericky"
next week she will certainly announce her pregnancy with Don King's love child...but Greta will always be her soul mate.
Ahem....we did not give SBS the contract to build the Hockey stadium because they built this home on the lake for us.....we are just friends with the managment.
She'll make believe it's a Top Gun jumpsuit, and that she's Tom Cruise.
There's a lotta time to kill when you're in jail.
something up, I've seen a few kooks around here with Palin '12 bumper stickers lately
...Nov 5th, 08
She probably paid for them herself.
a legend in her own mind........
I think I remember people talking about Palin '12 before the election was even over, because she was more popular than McCain. Remember that one rally where Palin spoke, crowd was packed and wild, then McCain came on and people started filing out.
in hope of a hope in hell.
around here somewhere last year for the Pukes and a black Republican was spat upon and forced to leave...after thorough searching the article was scrubbed from the TBO site
Remember the SNL skit with John McCain and Tina Fey on QVC? She was going "rogue" and selling Palin 2012 shirts on the side.

Either she doesn't want to disclose the money she's making from her book deal and or she's tired of saying no to big money speaking gigs and or she needs money to defend herself against upcoming criminal charges. I wouldn't be surprised if a multi-million dollar job with FAUX news is in her very near future. How is she planning on paying the $500,000 in legal fees she says she's accumulated as a result of defending herself in Troopergate and numerous ethics complaints?
The best thing about this is that the looney toons who touted her as VP and or presidential material are being outed for their inability to judge character. John McCain's judgment in particular is being shown to be indefensibly rotten.
BINGO! If she gets popular through a talk-show she can pull an end run around the republicans that want her to go away. If she gets mega-popular the party is hers to play with. She can use a media job to get back at people that mess with her. She can make a lot of $$$$! There is no way for her to lose going this route. She quit Alaska for her own self interests. If it all goes well, she'll be rich, queen of the right and better able to fake being prepared to be president.
I don't think money is the reason she is quitting simply because she would have been bragging about it throughout the press conference. She also would have chosen a time and place for more media to be there if she was getting a talk show on Fox and Greta Von S*ckup would have been in the loop about it. Nope, if it had been money and/or a talk show, Scarah would have said so frequently on camera.
Her body language and the audible deep gasps for breath screamed out that Scarah is scared and ticked off about quitting as governor. And that this was a decision several weeks in the making? I read elsewhere that the First Dud had been fishing and left other people with his setnet while he flew home for the press conference. This was something that happened very quickly and the Palins are running scared. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks.
is pregnant.That's just too disturbing to consider....Greta and her obvious Palin crush, I would have thought was (with her husband) in the backround giving advice and support to Palin.Maybe she is and her surprise is faked.
I'm guessing some major ethics violation is about to unfold.Something the GOP would help her overcome if she was in the fold.
I'm not a fan of Sarah but I watched the GOP prostituted her and when they were done, they whipped her.
What a saga...soon to be a made for TV movie.
She seemed to keep circling back around to the "investigations" meme. I can't govern because of "these investigations", I can't waste taxpayer money on "these investigations", I can't have people gunning for me all the time in (you guessed it) "these investigations."
That's what sent red flags up for me. We'll see.
contractor who also built the multi-million dollar hockey arena while she was Mayor.
I would think a Sara '12 bumper sticker says more about the driver than any possible candidate. Sara Palin is an empty slate, a Dan quayle, a stooge, a lackey, an open canvass for republican business intrests and nothing more. I kind of feel sorry for her,
Is this was some bizarro notion of good strategy, then why roll it out on a Friday of July 4th weekend--the mother of all Friday afternoon news dumps? And despite the best spins of wingnuttia, this action will not impress voters. Yes, she's erratic, volatile, and unpredictable, but is this the action of a narcissist who feels the world hasn't validated her enough? Was her hand forced by some scandal about to erupt? There's only one thing of which I am sure: Palin will soon be on Faux News. The only question is whether she'll be an "analyst" or have her own show.
One of her advisers whispered in her ear "remember Nixon". History repeats itself. Sort of.

"I'm not a fan of Sarah but I watched the GOP prostituted her and when they were done, they whipped her."
I agree with the above, I always wondered if she was just a tool for Rove to destroy John McCain. Like getting the popular guy to ask Carrie to the prom.
Course we saw how that turned out ...
We have the right to vote or not vote for him. The FEC has the responsibility to certify his eligibility as a candidate, and congress is the one who votes to certify the results of the election.
That's pretty much it.
a multitude of republicans in power have ALREADY investigated this bunk rumor to the inth degree....
They failed to find anything amiss.
Obama is President.
period.
I know I would.
Which puts me years ahead of you.
intellectually
your laughable attempt to seed some kind of doubt cannot possibly ever result in anything other than making republicans look dummer than they already look.
Why waste your time?
Why would Obama pander to a group who did not vote for him, will never vote for him, and are actively trying to get his presidency recalled?
We don't stone are women...I'm talking about rocks here not drugs. We give women like Palin and Bachmann plenty of airtime because they are doomed to fail. You think Palin was a stupid fit for the Republicans? I think it was well planned.
Do you think the Republicans wanted the presidency in this time of economic collapse? No, I think they wanted to be there kicking the tottering pillars out from under the economy so they could come back and remake it according to what works for the Republicans. Rah rah 2012!!! You know, some people vote Republican because they like elephants. And they are cute.
but have you seen the turds that elephants leave behind?
This is why:
Birther: "Oh why won't Barack Obama release his birth certificate? If only he did that simple little thing, we could put this whole matter to rest. And it would only cost him ten dollars."
Rational Person (RP): "Didn't you see the birth certificate he posted online?"
Birther: "Anyone could have Photoshopped that. In fact, I saw an anonymous guy on the Internet claim that he could prove it was faked. He's an expert in 'instructional media.'"
RP: "You do realize that 'instructional media' doesn't have anything to do with document analysis, right?"
Birther: "Regardless, it's still fake. If Obama truly had nothing to hide, he'd release his long-form birth certificate, not this computer printout."
RP: "How should he release it? If he simply posted a scan online, wouldn't you accuse it of being faked?"
Birther: "Oh, certainly. Anything he produces shouldn't be trusted unless it's reviewed by a competent authority, like a judge."
RP: "So if Obama obtained his long-form birth certificate, published it, had a judge review it, and then the judge announced that it was legit and he was born in Hawaii, that would be enough? You'd give up arguing that his election is illegitimate, stop filing lawsuits, and concede that he's eligible to be President?"
Birther: "Hardly. For all we know, Obama's parents could have lied to Hawaiian officials, and claimed he was born in Hawaii, when he was actually born in Kenya. Or Canada. For all we know, Hawaiian officials themselves might be in on the cover-up."
RP: "What if it can be proven beyond a doubt that the birth certificate is real and accurate, and that he was born in Hawaii. Let's say there's a video of John F. Kennedy himself playing midwife to Ann Dunham. Would that settle the matter?"
Birther: "It'd settle the matter of where he was born. But that doesn't mean he's a natural-born citizen and eligible to be President."
It goes on (and on). Rest of Link is here:

...but Hawaii wasn't even a state when he was born.....
lol
It all goes back to mom being an American citizen, that's it in a nut shell...he is a citizen no matter where he was born
Ius Sanguine.
As well as the US Constitution:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Natural born doesn't mean by the Lamaze method but was a slight rephrasing of the British Law Natural Subject, meaning one or both parents belong to the Nation, and the person is born into territory of the United States, or some other holding like a military base, embassy etc.
Under the standards proposed above by our resident troll, even john mccain wouldn't qualify as president since he was born in the Phillipines.
He was born on a military base in Panama.
I was trying to change it when my comment was held up when your comment posted.
However the point remains the same, under the trolls argument john mccain would not qualify.
n/t
was anchored?
That'll teach me to write a comment whilst still half-asleep, and eating my breakfast of scrambled eggs, kippers with pickled onions, English muffin with Robertson's Blackcurrant preserves, washed down with hot tea, followed by a Gauloises.

# "Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)"
http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.html
That's not a right enumerated in the US constitution.
They already have the requirement if an election is too close to call, or no one gains a majority of votes that the Senate settle the matter.
And equating privacy with secrecy is a fascistic sentiment.
It doesn't matter where he was born, as long as mom was a US citizen.
The best response to the birthers is derisive laughter.
in French.
in German.
There are a few comments that just end an intellectual conversation.
...Oswald didn't really kill Kennedy...
...the Earth is really just 6,000 (or 10,000) years old...
...Evolution is just a theory...
...No way did 2 airliners cause the twin towers to collapse...
...Obama isn't Constitutionally eligible to be President...
I just nod my head, say "Uh-huh"...and look for the nearest exit.
For fun, you could ask "Where are President Bush's discharge papers? Or proof that he wasn't AWOL the last 19 months? (Which would make him a DESERTER, a felony). Or the one million emails that were "lost"? These are legal issues that citizens have a RIGHT to investigate.
Or you can point out that Obama doesn't have the authority to release his original birth certificate; Hawaii Revised Statute 338-18 (or aren't the Cons firm believers in states rights?) Or that Dr. Fukino (Dir. of the Dept. of Health) and the Registrar of Vital Statistics have publicly stated that they have personally reviewed his BC (Republicans both, I might add). Or that 2 separate public announcements in local newspapers were made by the Dept. of Health corroborate his birth.
But you'll never convince them. So I repeat, just nod your head and look for your exit.
Hear me out--the arguments against the theory of evolution in the Southeast have sound basis. Many of the humanoids in this region have, indeed, not evolved. An enormous proportion of our residents in Georgia are albino monkeys and have not evolved from anything.
If you don't believe me, check out Newt Gingrich.
And remember, Oswald had "help".
To the pharmacy a few minutes ago and kudlow was on the radio saying that the reason democrats go after Palin is because we fear her.
Let me respond: We don't fear her, as a matter fact we go after her because conservatives embrace her. Palin is idiotic and mediocre. She is unqualify to run a hotdog stand and I can't remember such a pathetic candidate (except for Bush) being embraced like this. We don't fear her, we just think she is the best illustration of the republican's ideology, patriotism, seriousness and dedication to the US and the constitution.

After Bush showed twice that an incompetent ideologically driven moron could be president (ya, I know he cheated, but he still did it) and the consequences of his presidency, I don't think its wrong to say dems/libs/sane people are afraid of her. Could imagine what would happen if she managed to become president? The horror.
Via schooling, family history, etc. He may be a policy lightweight, but he's not tactically naive about power as Palin is.
.... they have many things in common.
1. Lack of intellectual curiosity about the world in general.
2. Same christian evangical belief that end is near so why be concerned about environmental things.
3. Both believe they are on a mission from God.
4. Both go with "gut insticts" over reasoning and logic.
5. Both have gotten farther with their looks than actions.
6. Neither proved "up to the task" in the final analysis.
are not statistically any more intelligent, ambitious (or stupid and ignorant) than the general population. They are where they are because they know how to maintain collective power. Palin handles power like a lottery winner handles money; like it's some kind of lucky, god-given reward to be squandered as she sees fit. She couldn't be more wrong.
Without their handlers, and consultants, they are just attractive empty suits. Puppets to be used by the Bill Kristols and Carl Roves of the world.
I wasn't referring to "them" as individuals; I meant class power. There's a reason the prep-school system exists in this country. Do me a favor, when you see someone with public power/success note how often they attended a public school. You'll find they either came out of horrific poverty/circumstances (e.g. Oprah) or came up through the prep-school system.
I have two daughters. When Palin was picked to be VP candidate, I really wanted her to be a good, strong female candidate. I remember being in first grade when Ferraro was vp nom, and I LOVED her. I don't remember why, but I thought it was wonderful. I really wanted to like Palin, even though I'm a Democrat. But then she opens her mouth and gives that angry, bitter speech. Then she winks. Then she uses her kids as pawns. Then she encourages people to shout "Kill him!" about her opponent. She is the very worst that womankind has to offer. I go after her because she is everything I never, ever want my daughters to grow up to be. Give me HRC, give me Rachel Maddow, even give me freaking Condi Rice--just don't parade this psycho in front of my girls and call her a role model for women everywhere.
Give me a nation where the male candidates are held to standards as rigorous as those for female candidates. We should have exposed a dozen or more candidates to equivalent scrutiny and critique, not just Ferraro and Palin (and Eagleton, who was disqualified on mental health issues quickly).
I go after her because she is comedy gold. She is a gift that just keeps on giving.
the mere idea that she could conceivably ever assume the office of president is enough to make me consider suicide or emigration.
I regard her with the deepest loathing and contempt.
This is a woman who attended 6 community colleges before she fo7nd one that would grant her a certificate.
Shannyn Moore, of the Alaska Report, says there has been speculation for some time of an indictment coming for getting her house built and paid for by the people building that 13 million dollar hockey rink while mayor of Wasilla.
Most believable reason I have heard for this although it is fun watching the right wing nuttia trying to spin this as a shrewd move.
Oh wait, I meant to say he's wrong about everything!
Whatever little Billy says, put your money on the opposite view.

Maybe they think sarah's a shrew.
shot in your neck of the woods, Ys. It was made by Gordon McClendon, who had an AM radio network in Texas in the fifties and sixties,and ran for the US Senate as a conservative Dem back in 64.
He also owned a chain of drive in movies. He had a minor role and died in the film early on from a shrew bite.
that one half hour has passed following a mention of Gordon McClendon without anyone tying him to the Kennedy assasination.
Why yes, I do believe she is a shrew (pals around with terrorists)
But is she a shrewd shrew.
shrewd (shrd)
adj. shrewd·er, shrewd·est
1. Characterized by keen awareness, sharp intelligence, and often a sense of the practical.
2. Disposed to artful and cunning practices; tricky.
3. Sharp; penetrating: a shrewd wind.
Nope, guess not.
she's flatulent too?
We have had three top tier Republican Presidential aspirants wiped from the party in as many weeks. Of course everyone is looking over at the Democrats with stern eyes and loathing rhetoric. But I would submit to you all that this is Republican house cleaning. Someone in the establishment said "enough is f*cking enough!" , and gave the word to bring these idiots down. Seriously, we are looking at a huge rise in the IQ average amongst the Republican candidates with this buffoon out of the picture.
So the question that should be on everyone's mind, who is next? I am thinking Minnesota politics is about to get a visit from the Republican political grim reaper. Gov Pawlenty (sp?) or that hag (I refuse to even type out her name) are bound to be top of the list?
Actually, it's 4; Huntsman was a legit contender, who Obama usurped by making Ambassador to China. He was articulate, attractive, rich as hell, and Mormon. Sort of the anti-Mitt. He scared me a little; so Barack sent him away!
As I listened, I searched for any signs of logic in Palin's speech, but always ended up wondering about what kind of ducks were making all that noise.
I thought perhaps she was plagerizing Obama's press conference interrupted by the quacking ring tone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97RjuC9YeXg
less than believable.
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
?
but i dont think so...
i think she's setting herself up for a media job, most likely at fox. if they have no trouble hiring a retard like joe the magic plumber they'd have no trouble hiring a woman with an actual resume (beauty queen, mayor, governor). i think that unless she's delusional (which is not beyond the realm of possibility), she'll see the bigass dollar signs that make political media much more appealing. just ask ann coulter, bill oreilly, rush limbaugh and other pundits who would never EVER run for public office, not because all of their dirty laundry would come out (although thats a motivating factor) but they'll never get the $10M+ paychecks. hell, clear channel is paying limbaugh a ridiculous amount for no other reason than that they want to give howard stern the middle finger (even though stern is still making more). can you imagine him giving that up for a 6 figure salary?
For a paycheck or politics, her exit would have been more graceful and triumphant. She'd figure everyone would understand not turning down a 7 figure paycheck and, if they don't, they can get the F*** over it.
I smell desperation here....
indictment.... I suspect someone finally hit pay dirt on one of the many "issues" this woman has.
furthermore, i would surmise that whatever it is, it was potentially damaging enough to cause issues with her other "jobs".
Moose droppings about to hit the fan about getting house built as graft for pushing the 13 million dollar hockey rink in Wasilla when mayor.
Bullwinkle's offerings are not so daintily described. Rocket J, on the other has nothing mnre than squirrel shit.
I would think a cat would know its scat better.
lest wasilla witha 20 mil debt
"i think that unless she's delusional (which is not beyond the realm of possibility), she'll see the bigass dollar signs that make political media much more appealing. just ask ann coulter, bill oreilly, rush limbaugh and other pundits."
Unless? Unless she is delusional. None of the people you named is anything other than delusional and you left out Beck.
That FOX was going to prop her up as a much more conservative, gun-lovin, and paler Oprah. Which may be the case, but after reading Shannyn Moore's Alaska Blog, I think she has a Fed indictment coming up.
(or whatever it is called) in his acquisition plans. Sarah can be the first broadcaster to commenate from the defense table.
Greta can then revert to searching for the Palin Tots, who will be lost little white girls if Mom goes to prison, expecially because MSNBC will then hold rights to her future appearances.
Don't you mean enabler?
Maybe enabler isn't right. What is it called when you love someone and they don't love you back but you continue to hang around hoping the person you love will notice you? That's van Sustern.
.
Thank god McCain lost. She is quitter who abandoned her state in their time need, that’s not heroic that’s appalling and cowardly. No one should praise her choice. She is a professional victim player who can dish it out but cant take it. For pete sake look at what was said in media about Clinton and Bush and they didn’t quit. Good riddance now she can work full work time blaming others for her own stupidity
None of the White House children were free from attack. Truman's daughter was trashed by a critic for singing badly. It never stopped from there all the way to the Bush twins with their thongs and puking all over Europe. The Bird girl got off because she did the watusi so sweetly on the beach. The Nixon daughters were too pretty even when they cried about "how unfair" Daddy was treated so they got a pass. (I really love the photo of Abbie and Grace at the WH gate when she tried to wear a transparent blouse to the tea party. Isn't transparency what we want?) The Ford kids were known sneaker outers. The press was mean to Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton. Ron the ballet dancer was picked on. Too bad the Patti Playboy shot was after Reagon left the WH! The Obama daughters are young to get in trouble yet. Besides they have a dog. Pets keep you in line. So when Palin courts & tauts her pregnant daughter while running on the "abstinance only ticket" what did she expect? I hope she didn't quit to get to the WH. The Palin cult is large. She probably just needs some time to shoot up backstage with Rush.
and everything else they speak of.
They are the party of do as I say not as I do.
republicanism is a mental illness!
.... is to keep doing the same things and expect different results.
How's that working for the GOPers out there?
Are the republicans still trying to drop the Natural Citizen part so Arnold Schwarzenegger can run for president?
Sure some believe he destroyed California, but boosh already destroyed Texas.
until the indictments come out and Fox accidentally identifies Palin as a Democrat ...
Greta Van Susternen's boner for Sara and Todd Palin sickens me.
The fact that all of these wingnuts can't see the truth sickens me.
Palin uses her children as human shields. I'd like to compare how many days the Palin children missed school to to how many days the Obama children missed school. Palin throws those kids in our faces on a daily basis. If she kept them at home where they belong, nobody would have even cared about them. Her hypocrisy is infuriating.
They made a mountain out of the mole-hill that was Letterman's tasteless joke. Did Greta ever get her feathers puffed up to come to Chelsea's defense when the nutters were out making comments about her appearance?
What galls me the most is the way Palin is raising these kids is doing much more harm to them than anything anyone in the media says about them. And if she'd just stop using them as her own personal human shields, she wouldn't have to worry about it. But she won't...she'll keep digging for boogers because she loves finding things to complain about. It's her deluded way of thinking she'll keep the media off the real problems, such as her lack of intelligence, experience, class and anything else that would make a good leader.
Why aren't these troofies the least bit curious about todd palin belonging to secessionist groups, and sarah's has given speeches to such groups?
We can get our money back from Russia if we want to.
So here's how this works. She leaves because she can't take the media coverage. So that's why Fox news is going to give media coverage to her complete with her own "Palin Cam". Palin cam will be a 24 hour Fox show about Palin discussing her personal life. WoW! What a great mom she is. She is just a mother grizzly trying to protect her young .She'll also have her kids come on so she can show off Bristol and her new baby. Bristol will then spend most of her time talking about abstinence and encourageing all other young women not to make the same mistake. Of course though when some one makes comments about the show. Foxnews is going to complain about how the liberal media spends too much time focusing on her personal life and not the issues.
...thought she was going to get to be the next Dana Perino - although she probably gets paid more to lie for Faux than she would to lie for Bible Spice.
If Palin isn't resigning due to impending scandal (and I think she is), she can always fall back on a future as Rush Limbaugh with tits (well, with nicer tits, if not bigger).
.....hearts Bailin' Palin!
will believe it. That is the saddest thing of all. The Faux News Fans will just soak it all up. It's David Letterman's fault doncha know? Poor sweet Sarah.
(You can throw up now.)
The craziest thing she says is that people know about Palin as a celebrity, but not about her policies. Well - that's all they'd get from Fox News, really, since her policies stink. It's not as if Fox has ever dug into her crappy policies - they only offer the sound bites, because they're trying to sell her.
There is no "gearing up" here, nobody is going to vote for somebody who quits their executive role after half of the first term is over! She's done! Finished! Toast! What a wild week of news....
of the GOod Life: lots of money perqs, sycophants wallowing in her wake, that kinda shit.
But I think the determining factor was the $350k wardrobe.
It's plainly AMAZING the way a little $10k frock can make even the dowdiest, middle-aged GOPuke matron look like "hot."
She can't acquire all the money she needs to support her new habit by remaining in the public sphere, where there's even a little "accountability."
She's takin' her show on the road. Dolla-Rama...
Oh my woody it was only $150k wardrobe.
Greta and Mary Matalin have been drinking the same Kool-Aid.
They all seem to want to PLASTICIZE their looks before they go on FAUX. Kind of like hiding their lack of having a soul, huh?
Anyway, Greta Plasticized MORE than just her eyes before jumping boat from CNN and going to FAUX. She had her whole face destroyed. Today she looks like what she truly is: A FREAK.
Here's a VERY INTERESTING bio on her, with connections:

I am wondering , is it just me ? I don't give a damn what this air head bimbo is doing , what her plans are or where she happens to be , I mean the woman is a joke ,she rivals Bachman and Bush on the low IQ and stupidity scales for cryin out loud . It's just more right wing absurdity and the MSM and their 24 hour news cycles . Joe the plumber and Sarah the moose hunter , is this all they have to offer ? Gimme a break .
Remember Greta doesn't know Sarah personally, that's why she had to keep reminding her listeners (and herself).
she found that the most attractive person in the Republican party is a woman
