Apparently not one to go gently into that good night, Sarah Palin is determined to keep the spotlight on her for as long as the media will allow it. She sat down with Matt Lauer on The Today Show, insisting that despite overwhelming discussion of the tension between her and McCain (coming from anonymous campaign staffers as well as the media that covered them) that she and McCain are still BFFs.
LAUER: There is this feeling, and some of this comes from leaks and other, just perception, people just getting a gut that there was increasing tension between you and Sen. McCain in the final stretch of this campaign. Tell me what the relationship was like.
PALIN: We have a great relationship. Had from Day One. Had from the first time that I met him, last year, he and his wife. I just have been great admirers [sic] of them, of their family, of all that Sen. McCain has accomplished. Never once was there any inkling of tension between the two of us. Perhaps within the campaign, there was campaign staffers who…
LAUER: Well, describe that for me. Who was butting heads?
PALIN: You know, I don’t even know. That inside baseball stuff regarding the way a campaign works on that level, I certainly didn’t get bogged down in any of the potential skirmishes or perceived problems…
LAUER: Have you listened to some of the leaks that have come out since the election, where they’re saying that the McCain people leaked anonymously or saying,‘we couldn’t control her.’ ‘She was a rogue.’ ‘She didn’t want our consultants around her.’ And it became tense. Where do stories like that come from?
PALIN: I honestly do not know, because it’s not true, Matt. And Sen. McCain and I, we have a great relationship. I have nothing but honor and admiration and love for him and for his family. And I think that is mutual. In fact, I talked to him just today, again. And we touching base [sic] nearly every day…
LAUER: So it’s a warm and friendly relationship, even to this day?
PALIN : Very warm and friendly and professional and I…again, I have nothing but honor and admiration and love that I will show for this great American hero.
Well, I'm convinced. (/snark)
In other news, it's being reported by AP that Palin is going through the closets of her husband and kids to return all the clothes purchased for them by the RNC, including Todd's silk boxers. I know that the Republicans want to have a reputation (however unearned) of being fiscally prudent, but really, let them keep the knickers. What would you do with used undies from the Palin family any way?
is Huffington Post offline?
Then why hasn't McCain come forward to help out his good friend Sarah? Why has he let all those mean jerks say those things about her? Couldn't he vouch for her truthfulness and smartness and honestiness? Help her out here John!
McCain still has some sense rattling around in that empty skull of his and he's glad to be rid of her.
Its as if Maury Povich read the election results from his envelope...
You are NOT the President!!
...is undoubtedly hiding out so she can take as much of the blame as possible for the defeat. McCain's no hero -- just a run of the mill narcissistic politician, obsessed with own press clippings and reputation.
It would be fine with me if they both just disappeared forever. And I know the world would be a better place if that happened.
And an ancient piece of shit who couldn't give a damn about the MIA's of Vietnam.
Yes, its curious that McCain has been conspiciously absent while Bible Spice is doing interview after interview....
'Bible Spice' Ha ha ha ha ha!!
"Apparently not one to go gently into that good night, Sarah Palin is determined to keep the spotlight on her for as long as the media will allow it."
Have you considered how much of a beating the corporate media would give the Governor of Alaska if she refused to be interviewed by them?
Apparently, just as they did after he lost the nomination in 2000, the corporate media has McCain's back.
You could sell Todd's used underwear to someone like Rush Limbaugh who would sniff them while masturbating to Birth Of A Nation.
and incredibly accurate.
...and hopefully not harry.

Corruption favors the wealthy.
Matt Lauer. He's only there to help promote Palin for 2012 and sell us his shit for breakfast.
C-A-T: CAT!
D-O-G: Rhode Island!
Duuuuuuh!
Talibunny, you are a DOLT!
The clothes with labels that say Saks 5th Avenue, Neman Marcus, etc... belong to the RNC. The ones with K-mart labels belong to you.
Sarah Palin is great T.V.
She should be kept in the spotlight as long as humanly possible.
The G.O.P. will continue to implode as long as this happens.
Palin is old news.
Let's talk about what Obama's going to do.
Like, end the war in Afghanistan.
Whoops. Sorry.
this woman wants to be president in 2012
or at least run for stevens senate seat
and as if you didnt notice the cocksuckers who assisted in killing 3000 of your fellow citizens are making inroads back into afghanistan...thanks to another bush fuckup

Phase 3: Profit!
The Thugs are calling and they want their underpants back
me-oww!
Why do we continue to supplicate reason by discussing this ignoramus? We amplify her fetid immoral stance of vicarious redemption wrapped in magical beings, and allow those with a thinking deficit to consider that she may be more than maniacal?

"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
I'd be willing to bet a considerable sum that her good friend John McCain hasn't spoken to her since he conceded the race.
Give 'em to Meg Whitman, she'll know what to do with 'em...
And just what is a rogue? A maverick with a low approval rating. These two mavericks, like Ford's, are headed to the political junkyard, one with a pair of high-priced panties hung on the rearview mirror and a pitbull with lipstick in the driver's seat.
There was details in those allegations about $20-40K worth of stuff being purchased specifically for Todd Palin. Easy enough to press the source for copies of the receipts and present those to the Talibunny and ask why the Bush-era version of the cloth-coat Republican needs anything besides a good wool suit. Instead the idiot Lauer just lets her meander all over the place about the stuff being bought for her was part of the lighting. It could be true, it is not really testable and it is arguably a judgment call whether or not $150,000 is excessive for what is really a coast to coast production that puts on 6 shows a day. Pressing the campaign and/or its staffers to outfit the husband, however, outside of that initial budget to provide a production wardrobe for her is a completely different story. TV journalism. Still a media for idiots and practiced by idiots. And who was that dimwitted oaf who commented to Lauer "Oooh, she is being so candid." Where do they find these imbeciles.
Feed her EGO, I want her to run against Obama in 2012 and get whipped again. 'The Thrilla in Wasilla'...
Oh, boy, did Lauer miss his opportunity. He should have begged her to baptize him in the kitchen and then asked her all kinds of god questions and we would be treated to the most stupendous outpouring of crazy the world has ever seen.
But no.
The dolt Lauer and the imbecilic Talibunny deserve each other.
TV news! Gak!
Touring bands get underwear and socks all of the time as part of their contracts. Who's got time to do laundry when you're on tour. And the Palins were "on tour".
That said- silk boxers? The Palins should pay for the upgrade.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
To be brief, I wouldn't want the RNC to come up shorts! ;>)
anyone want to tell me the diff between this and what greta did on fox?
on fox, palin attacks bloggers...here, she attacks the msm
says that if people had really done digging they wouldve found all allegations to be false
well, people did dig...and what they found was that the first words out of your mouth to the american people were baldfaced lies....of course, matt never asks her about that.
palin keeps bringing up the trigg rumors...so why didnt matt ask her why she felt that outing her daughter being a slut would squelch those rumors...why not ask her why she didnt just present the birth records, or have the attending meet with the press?
palin keeps bringing up the book banning, and using the harry potter reference to prove she did nothing...but why doesnt matt ask her why she tried to fire the town librarian, and why she had to speak to her on 3 seperate occasions about the concept of removing books?
as for the wardrobe....please...she really thought it was a part of normal campaigning for the rnc to play dressup with her family? why did any clothes end up back in alaska? why, when bloggers were using terms like "caribou barbie" would she allow herself to become barbie? and she says that the clothing expenses were for 8...did the rnc dress up her parents too?
why does she continue using her kids as props? poor piper
and todd is a straight out moron...yet this woman cc'd all legislative action to him, and he sat in on legislative meetings
where are the questions on troopergate, on using a yahoo email account for state biz, on charging the state for sleeping and eating at home per diems, on charging the state for her children's travel?
at least we finnally get to see bristol tomorrow...lets see how pregnant she really is
will that child still be made to marry her baby daddy now that her Momma is irrelevant?
Kind of reminds me a little of the ploy to help the Senator regain an image of purity by using his daughter white wedding in The Birdcage.
This truly is a comedy of errors and just keeps on getting better and better the more Mooselini keeps talking.
Oh and did anyone else notice that she's wearing one suit to all these interviews? Always with the pink. LOL
I noticed the Pepto Bismal pink, left to her own devices her palette is horrible, so maybe someone was dressing her, maybe it was John, maybe those boxers were not for Todd. Maybe Leno needs to ask John what he's wearing under his wool suit.
she is dumb...not stupid
check out pre pick vids of her
she is always dressed smartly...far from overdone
she is trying to regain the "hockey mom, im just like you" look
she is going for higher office....you betcha
sent to help her get out of the hole she's dug.
If I had a prize to give for the correct motivation for this inter-phew (hey, what's that smell?), you would win!
Why is this child wearing high heels at her age? Look closely at her shoes. I feel for her but by 2012 she'll be one her way to her own baby...
Whether Trigg is Sarah's or Bristol', calling the poor stupid girl a slut is not a good idea. She's a girl whose mother never told her not to imitate TV behavior, who was too ignorant to get contraception, have her friends get it, or put the political extortion to Mama so she would get it for her. Every one of my teenaged acquaintances would have played that card fast, even if a grounding resulted.
Put 'em on E-bay?
You'd make a (forgive me) "Bundle".
You LOST to a muslim, terrorist palin' around with, socialist, Marxist who wasn't born in the USA, whose brother lived in a shanty in Kenya while his wife dined on caviar and lobster, radical, do-nothing senator whose only experience was as a community organizer who couldn't see Russia from his home state black candidate.
You were soooooo freaking rejected by the American voter. Your values are worthless. Good luck in 2012. Maybe Obama will murder a few thousand people so you will look more attractive to the voters.
I love Sarah Palin because she is a big joke, as long as she don't win any national office, she keeps us entertained with her talking, gaffes, and stupidity. She is a hope for all comedians, for all people with sense of humor, and for all liberals, because it's easy to win against her. If you lose against her, that would be a real disastrous joke.
What's make it more funny is that some cons love her truly and want her to be their party face. (: I can't understand their logic. if I'm a con, I would want someone with intelligence advocate my "conny" views, not Sarah the national joke.
I specifically love her "Russia comments", as it shows how she is too inexperienced and brain-challenged . I made a simulation of her foreign policy experience in low quality computer graphics
Obama had his own gaffes, we can have fun with them, but all his gaffes are not as serious as hers.
but this joke is one that you can only get away with telling once, maybe twice. After Thanksgiving she'll fade into the background again unless she can pull off the Alaskan senatorial coup.
This bimbo would not know "inside baseball" if Zach Hample and Vin Scully sat her down for a week to explain it. Stop using that phrase. Obama used it. He gets it. This Caribou Barbie needs to fade into the tundra.
Palin is not the issue.
Unless you want her to be.
[She's the issue on this thread. Site Monitor]
.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
No matter how many times I hear her she never stops sounding like a complete idiot. Will she ever master the English language? Or will she continue to use it like some kind of primitive weapon to numb the minds of intelligent listeners. For some reason, people can listen to this gibberish and come away supporting the Bimbo Borealis. I can't imagine what people see in her.
It will be a dark day in America if this woman is ever elected to high national office.
The MSM appear to be on a mission to keep Palin in the public eye constantly. As always, style over substance, tabloid blather instead of responsible journalism. Yuck.
I don't know how stupid this woman is but I do know she is not curious about the world. I is a singularly American mythology that is embodied in people like Bush that you don't need to be smart, or do your homework, or have any sort of thirst for knowledge. You have a good heart and go with your gut and god and everything will be fine. As a matter of fact there is a great number of the American populous that distrust smart, knowledgeable people and feel that they would rather listen to someone more on their own ignorants. Forest Gump is a good example of the personification of this American Myth. Do we want a female Forest Gump running things? I would hope after 8 years we have had enough of "GUT" leadership.
The problem is that people like Bush and Palin DON'T have good hearts. I could deal with Forrest Gump running things. Palin is not the female Forrest Gump. She's the female Boss Hog.
how about taking dna samples to
prove who's child the alleged daughter's
child really is. we don't believe anything
that comes out of skank palin's mouth.
So, she didn't know she was heading for the cliff until she was at the bottom of the cliff? WOW, what glorious disasters she had in store for us!
"... I know that the Republicans want to have a reputation (however unearned) of being fiscally prudent, but really, let them keep the knickers. What would you do with used undies from the Palin family any way?"

however, legal experts are saying that the rnc cannot just "lend clothes" to a candidate...nor can they be gifted, as they then become a contribution
the clothes become income
i wonder if the irs is checking into this
As much as I wish I could say that the name Sarah Palin had never entered my mind - and as boring as it is to continue to read information about her - and as much as giving her any additional attention only feeds into her cult of personality - it is really important that the truth about this glorified stripper of a politician not get lost. All her inane remarks, unsophisticated political views, hypocrisy, for certainly she (and the right-wing media) will do their best to transform this trailer trash bimbo into a blue chip political stock. Keep the spotlight on her C&L!
should be on. Too bad stimulants don't work the same on people who don't have ADD...

Vieira finds her "incredibly candid?"
No. She's very straightforward. But given her wanton lies about so many things on the campaign trail, I fear that her seemingly candid delivery indicates something pathological.
This woman knows nothing about the government, but is willing to say just about anything to be put in charge of it. She could not be more provincial if she were locked in a box her whole life, but she is willing to do anything to seize control of the world. And she's a fundamentalist Christianist to boot.
The real difference between this hockey mom and a pit bull is that the pit bull can look scary on the surface. Sarah Palin is a cutesy, adorable little terror.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
I call BULLSHIT!!

Listen up Rethugs! First order of business:
Get that woman into remedial English classes and speech therapy. At least make her stop using the word "also."
In her own words, JEEZ!
... and it took her 6+ years, and at least 3 different crappy universities to get the diploma.
This lady truly is dumber than a bag of rocks...
The fact that she is given a platform is a national disgrace, there should be some minimum standards. And this lady is woefully unqualified. It is funny as a joke, but not when we are dealing with a person that is trying to run for the highest office in the land.
I, for one, am not laughing...
McCain uses women for toilet paper, and wanted the prettiest and softest brand to decorate his campaign. His second wife is a millionaire who uses him for political influence. American women were indeed influenced by McCain's opinions and behavior.
The two major political parties are as much of a joke as the minors. High-quality black businessmen and women everywhere would have been candidates superior to Obama, Hillary, or Palin. The week after Palin's nomination, HuffPost picked up an article on the (English-speaking) world's fifty most influential women. Most or all of these are more than qualified for the Oval Office--and not on their knees.
Saraspirilla went on to say; "I thought you were talking like soldjers do! "you know, when the sarge says to the men, tenshun!" "No body ever asked me to come to tenshun." "I saw a few little soldiers snap right up when I winked at them though" "lot's of clipboards covered lots of zippers"
"now this Africa thing", that's that red pepper you use for moose goolash, right? no, that's pappyreeka. "No that is the continent below Mexico, right?"
"What would you do with used undies from the Palin family any way?"

Todd Palin wears silk panties?
Why am I not surprised?
a gf once bought me silk boxers as a joke
i tried to wear them once to work...felt weird all day
i think the first dude is a closet lumberjack
Go away Sarah - you're not welcome anymore (as if you ever were).
And to prove my point, this is the last time I'll ever post a comment on a thread that centers on her. This bearded clam's time is up already.
Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water.
she is a nasty little minx
I am sure that some enterprising author will write the story of the speech she didn't make. If it was approved, why did it get pulled? Did some cool head stop her from delivering a martyrdom-worthy, race-hate baiting barn burner?
Can we forget the "skank" and "minx" talk? It doesn't help the discussion one bit. And I don't begrudge her for the limelight. I agree--it's her 15 minutes (which unfortunately could drag on a lot longer that). The media whores are knocking her door down, fighting to interview her. She's the infotainment of the moment. Let's wait and see what happens after a month or so. She may disappear into the Republican speaker circuit, which is obscurity as far as I'm concerned. What I'm more worried about is if the MSM starts to rehabilitate her, Nixon-like. For all we know, they may morph her into some kind of reasonable voice of the center-right. That's when I feel we should get interested in her again.
Didn't watch the video. Sarah Palin is now a celebrity, and all celebrities want and need publicity. Why don't we ignore her (know what I mean?). Make her irrelevent (more irrelevent than she already is.)
far left loon >.<
The question is: Why doesn't the media ignore her?

She really is like a nightmare that won't go away. What does anyone expect her to say about her relationship with McCain? Of course neither is going to admit that they didn't get along, and McCain will never admit he made a huge mistake in picking this diva. He's created a monster. That woman definitely loves the limelight.
I'm sure sarah's knickers are on fire alot.
It's all the friction.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Who's more disgusting, Palin talking about "change" or Matt Lauer letting her make those statements (and many others) unchallenged?
Now, if he just asked her "what kind of change are you talking about exactly" and (in an alternate universe) she answered honestly, "well, for one, declaring martial law, rounding up all the pagans, you know, the non-believers, the Catholics too of course (wink), and establishing a true American theocracy" then at least he'd have done his job.
That whole interview/dinner thing was disgraceful. I'll bet he was promised a blowjob if he succeeded in making her look good.

Then what's with the nasty, disgusted, furious look on Cindy McCain's face every time she, her husband AND Sarah Palin were on stage together? Believe me, I KNOW that LOOK and the FEELINGS behind it VERY WELL. SHE, CINDY, did NOT think Johnny was being "friendly and professional" AT ALL.

TIMES UP!
Lets see what's on the other channel,...
I wonder if McCain is refusing interviews or if it's just that nobody's asking? I find it odd that Palin is doing more interviews now than when the campaign was going.
This woman is not smart enough to be a good liar. In this and other interviews she routinely contradicts herself when she tries to lie.
She is driven by political ambition. And she seems so wholesome and honest and folksy. But, I can't help seeing her for what she is, a dominion-theory, Cato Institute libertarian trained in the youth corp of Newt Gingrich's contract with America and for the camera by a stint in sports journalism, beauty queen/evangelical who believes in faith-healing, speaking in tongues and prophesying and taking away a woman's reproductive choice. She is amply ignorant about the world. But, maybe now she knows that Africa is not a country and if we are really lucky, maybe she's even looked at a map and been surprised to see that in fact there are many countries in the continent of Africa! Maybe someday she will stop claiming that because one can see Russia from Alaska that she has international political experience. These are what I will always keep in mind about Sarah Palin because I know we haven't seen the last of her yet. Because her ego dictates it, she will not be willing to let politics go. It would be helpful if the people of Alaska do not continue to support her. But whether or not that happens remains to be seen.
doing Palin's stylist advising now, it seems.
She's back to that horrible Bride of Frankenstein hairdo.
When do we get to roll the credits on this horror movie, anyway?
It's true I'm not a fan, but I do sort of know how it's supposed to go. How is "butting heads" a reference to baseball???
Just curious - Why the hell do they keep giving this skank any attention? Instead of wasting airtime reporting on this bimbo, they could be using that time to discuss more important topics. We could start with the Iraq and Afghan wars or maybe the unemployment rate, or maybe the economy, or even the housing market. Hell, a friggin discussion on corn in poop would be more interesting than this idiot.
