Palin telling her side of the story

palinbookSarah Palin has begun media promotion for her book, which complains about the media. She taped an appearance on “Oprah” in which she says she knew that her interview with Katie Couric went badly (though her book accuses Couric of “badgering” her). She’s also doing a Barbara Walters interview. Palin reportedly complains in the book about how she was handled by the McCain campaign. She also said that she was stuck with a $50,000 legal bill related to vetting as a vice president candidate, but the McCain campaign said it had no knowledge of that and didn’t think it happened.

    Well, she did ‘badger’ her, she wouldn’t quit asking questions, none of which palin could intelligently answer. But palin’s gettin the last laugh with all the $ she’s pulling in off of the suckers.

    Oh great! Another Palin thread for the conservatives to pizz and moan about. Where are the threads about teleprompters, Afghanistan, and keeping taxes low?

    Way to go, BrownLIB.

    She does have the uncanny ability to keep herself in the spotlight. She’s set a new standard for our youth on how quitting can make you rich.

    Well one thing she can do better than anyone I know is raise the hackles of the far left. I just love to watch the liberals pile on.

    You really should ask yourselves why this always happens. You guys are going to fool around put her in the White House if you don’t watch out.

    BTW I have long suspected our old KsFrmGrl is satatom and she pretty much confirmed that today.

    Why do the libs run from their old personas? Shame or just can no longer defend their positions.

    “She also said that she was stuck with a $50,000 legal bill related to vetting as a vice president candidate, but the McCain campaign said it had no knowledge of that and didn’t think it happened.”

    It would be silly to make such a claim if she couldnt prove it. And proving it would be very easy. My guess is it’s true.

    If poor li’l Sarah couldn’t stand up to being “badgered” by the media (Katie Couric for gosh sakes?) how do you suppose she’d manage middle-east peace negotiations? She thinks she can just wink and blow kisses and they’d all get along and have tea? After all, she can see Russia!

    Heckler I watched her in that interview and I am sure she can back up anything she put in that book. McCain and his staff had no intention of winning that race and she energized the ticket and scared them to death.

    There are two reporters that traveled with the campaign and decided to write a book about Palin and how awful she was treated. I listened to an interview with one of them last night and he put the lie to much of what McCain and his crew said. Not to mention the lies the media spread and then when they came out with an apology for wrong information buried the retraction in the classifieds.

    Interesting that the left just won’t leave this woman alone.

    She bought no clothes from a high priced clothier. All clothes were bought for her by McCain workers. They even took the tags off before she saw them because they thought she might make them take ‘em back because they cost so much. This reporter has substantiated this and so did Palin when she said the clothes bought by others and were left on the campaign plane and she has no idea what happened to them.

    Actually both of these books sound like good reads. If you aren’t afraid to be enlightened about some of your deeply held leftist ‘ideas’ check them our of the library and read them.

    After all BJ is hoping she will be our next prez. It never hurts to have facts before you and not just innuendo.

    No, no, no, NO!

    IF Sarah Palin were ever elected President, it would be conclusive and final proof that this country is beyond hope of saving.

    I want her to be the Republican nominee. For while Palin IS popular, it is a loud and crazy but distinct minority of Americans who consider her a serious candidate for any job outside the food service or hospitality industries. Her candidacy would be the final demonstration of cons complete disconnect from rational thinking. Her following defeat would crush the hope and life out of them, maybe permanently.

    Right BJ keep droning that message onandonandon. You’ve almost convinced me if the left hates her this much then I should be backing her for prez. Afterall anyone could do a better job than the community organizer we have jetting all over the world.

    Serious problems at home – no problem – a war where are brave soldiers are being slaughtered – no problem – a terrorist who is a member of our own forces kills and injures dozen – no problem – 17 million out of work and no jobs available – no problem – spending $200 million an hours since he took office – no problem – I must go apologize to Japan for the big bomb. No time to sit in the Oval Office to solve these petty problems.

    Yep thats the prez we all know and love. Palin would win in a landslide if he doesn’t do something fast.

    If I was the gov. of an out of the way state like alaska, I darn tootin’ wouldn’t be whining about having to pay 50,000 for vetting for v.p. (what does a v.p. do anyway?) which would enable me to make millions in the near (guess it wasn’t near enough, hence the resignation) future. Typical con whiner.

    What a googler you are. From a conservative view point it is just one more hatchet job. Kind of like your GW links.

    The left just keeps putting her name out there. Name recognition is the strongest factor to garner votes. Keep it up if you are hoping she is prez in 2012.

    okobserver,

    It looks like you can get it “from” at least about 1,100 media outlets besides the NYTimes.

    Lots of media outlets use the AP, even Faux news.

    It’s by the Associated Press. See the “AP” in the link?

    http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/11/13/us/politics/AP-US-Palin-Book-Fact-Check.html

    It also says “By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS” on the page, below the headline.

    And “(AP)” just before the first sentence.

    Yes it took great skill with Google! /sarcasm OFF

    I clicked on the browser Google News bookmark, and saw,
    “FACT CHECK: Palin’s Book Goes Rogue on Some Facts”.

    So Phantom what did I post that you have proof is inaccurate. I wasn’t a Palin supporter. I think we need someone in office that actually has an idea of what a good economic plan is. We don’t have that now and I’m not sure Palin will bring it either. But with the whine sounds coming from the dimocrats I might need to rethink my position on this.

    Granny,
    “All clothes were bought for her by McCain workers. They even took the tags off before she saw them because they thought she might make them take ‘em back because they cost so much.”

    What kind of woman wears clothes she never tried on in the store? Certainly not li’l Rouguey Sarah! She’d have been preening in the triple mirrors for half an hour before going on to the next outfit!
    The only woman I ever knew that didn’t shop for her own clothes was a mormon who was never allowed to leave the house except to go to church or the delivery room. Her husband was a control freak who even bought her shoes for her!

    I find it humorous, the left are fixated by her solely because she is a laughing stock and it would be a shoe in if she did get the Republican/Con nomination it is a sure bet for four more years of Obama and the end of the Conservatives as a serious considered party.

    The Right support and defend her not because she is the best/last hope but because the left are so fixated on her. “Well if they hate her so it must be because she is wonderful!”.
    Other then some misguided and delusional people she is nothing more then the Lucy Ricardo of Politics.

    The Right falls into a trap if they would put her up and the left would have to turn to the next in line of the delusional far Right nut jobs to try to fool the Right into supporting.

    The Left falls into a trap thinking that the majority will not vote for a idiot. G.W. Bush was elected twice.

    Sarah Palin is the type that people would either want to have a beer with or have a one night fling with.

    Both are more driving forces then logic and reason for most voters.

    In the end it is a vote for the other guy not for who is the best for leading this country.
