@kristinp

Excellent point.

She also used her family to build up support from the base in other ways. She pushed them out into the media, made them the center of attention, and then when the media paid attention, she whined that they were focusing on her family too much.

She pushed her family out there again and again, and then whined when she got exactly what she was hoping for.

Make the media the bad guy. That always plays well with righties.

She used her family and is using the base for her own ambitions.

And her recent interview? That was priceless. She called the media to do the interview. She set it up. She instigated all of it. And when Mitchell comes out to do the gig, we find Palin playing the female Hemingway in her hip-huggers, hauling in the fish.

Brilliant. Make it look like the media is intruding on her life, and she's just been the sweetest thing in order to accommodate the big bad media. She gets a twofer. She gets to pretend to be persecuted, a martyr, and to appear like a pioneer women to all her fanboys.

She's definitely clever. If only she knew anything about government, international affairs, etc. etc.

@ Cuchulain2007

So true. And if the media had taken Palin's fans at their word and left her alone -- if they hadn't come running to the fishing boat when she called -- her supporters would have been outraged. How dare they ignore their Sarah?

She's got a nifty little racket going.

Sausage Links For Jesus

Palin would tease al Queida into thinking they were the American version of the base and would get them lining up smelling her talent. Then trick them like they lived at the C Street House of Republican sexual talents. My guess though is which Republican would get top billing to put his sausage in her mouth first because it is more than a feeling. Rightwingers can solve their problems by just bunkigng together at C Street and the sexual pressure will predatorize the passersby into sexual rocket fueled McCain balls. Yep that's it. That's some nasty smell coming out of the otherside of the Alantic's hole mouthy refrain of stinksstinks. Palin with aplomb will rename it Nut Job City Limits.

I have a crazy uncle that they won't let out of the basement, too.

Multidimensional

Good description.

Graduating from Harvard is a good cred...

Have you ever pondered the difference between knowledge and wisdom? What do see as the difference?

Get the answer correct you will see the difference between Senator Franken and Governor Palin.

-- Uncle

---------------------------------------------------------------

There are vast differences between the two.

Franken has both knowledge AND wisdom.

Palin has a very disfunctional approach to family raising and protection thereof, ethics problems, based on building a civic center when her city didn't have a water treatment plant a pretty distorted view of priorities.....

Oh yeah, she has tits, which made her a contender in Kristol's mind. I'll bet he's masturbating to that picture of her in the waders as we speak.

Yo stupids.

You don't know this person. All you know about them is from the MSM and that is edited to convey a specific message.

The negative attributes you project onto her are most likely your own.

You know even less about Obama and Biden. "Hope" and "Believe" were all you needed to know about him. You project your hopes and beliefs onto him.

Judgmental gossips with no knowledge or empathy for what they judge should think of one meme before they continue to soil themselves with their irrational and overwhelming hatred - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

After you are done throwing shitballs at your ascii metaphor target, lick your fingers clean.

YUM YUM!

Obama is President, not Palin.

Joe Is Right

Joe is right as usual. Bill Kristol is an idiot when it comes to politicians he know's nothing period,anyone who would support a liteweight know nothing like Sarah Palin should be in an insane asylum

"...anyone who would support a liteweight know nothing like Sarah Palin should be in an insane asylum"

Jeez, kilroy, why force already burdened mentally ill folks to cope with Paliniacs? Aren't psychiatric hospitals unpleasant enough?

The Losers Who Gave US Sarah Palin

Who is kidding who here? What is apparent is that, when it comes to anything to do with Sarah Palin, the "far left liberals" are like "a pack of starving wolves fighting over wounded prey". And, what thinking US citizen hasn't figure that out by now! Enough already with the Palins! You won - Remember! You've got till 2012 in the White House, remember!

What a ignorant and inaccurate assumption to say that "the GOP operatives who championed her (Palin as (R)Vice President in the highly questionable 2008 US Presidential election) should be held accountable for endangering the country". W H A T? Exactly how, where, and when have any of the Palins ever "endangered our country".

Have you (the writer of this piece) ever taken an unbiased and objective non-partisan look lately at how much the team of Obama/Biden/Pelosi may have already endangered and continue to endanger our country and threaten our US constitution and our economy, etc., etc.,? The signs are everywhere and are reflective in Obama's plummeting poll numbers because of Obama's lack of experience at running or representing anything, his massive tax and spend plans, the socialist trend that poses a threats to our US constitution and Obama's push for too much federal government intervention and control and the resulting continuing failing economy and soaring unemployment.

On and on it goes and so goes our beloved USA. Exactly how have Obama and the Democratic controlled congress effectively acted thus far to protect and serve the best interests, safety, and welfare of our country and ALL of its citizens?

You're right our country has been endangered but not by Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, the former 2008 (R) Vice Presidential candidate!

It would appear that the far left liberals are continuing to use Sarah Palin and everything she stands for and promotes as what is clearly a diversionary tactic. It's is a transparent and failing attempt to divert the public's attention from those in the far left liberal corner who really should be held ACCOUNTABLE and maybe Obama/Biden/Pelosi pummeting polls reflect that fact.

Let's just hope our country can survive, intact, what will likely go down in the US history books as "the left wing liberal folly of 2008" also known as the "2008 US Presidential election" that was riddled by significant evidence of nationwide voter fraud/voter registration fraud benefitting Acorn's endorsed candidate Barack Obama in the 2008 US Presidential election.

Obama, the former Chicago Acorn community organizor and attorney for Acorn and former short term (D)Illinois Senator was questionably and significantly aided by the notoriously corrupt federally and privately funded nationwide Acorn organization and its myriad of associated organizations.

Yet, there has been no known legal accounting (investigation and legal prosecution) thus far for the evidence of Acorn related voting irregularities during the 2008 US Presidential election and which irregularities favored Acorn's endorsed winning presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama.

And, has Acorn and/or any of its myriad of associated and related organizations/agencies financially or otherwise profited, in any way, from the 2008 election of Barack Obama as US (D)President? Is any of this signficant? YOU BET!

Has the USA been endanged by this? You decide.

In pure non-partisan analysis, truth, and significance, there lies the critical "crux of the matter" and not in anything

a former 2008 (R)Vice Presidential candidate (Sarah Palin) might have said, done, and/or "worn" during the highly questionable 2008 US Presidential election.

Stop using the Palins as a failed and transparent diversionary tactic to divert attention from those who should be held accountable for endangering our country and its citizens!

Be a "patriotic"! It is critical now that we, all of us loyal and patriotic citizens seek out the "real and unbiased truth and facts, in a non-partisan and patriotic manner, for the safety, welfare, and best interests of our beloved country and for all of its citizens!

God Bless America: God Bless our troops at home and abroad:
