- about trying to get out of boring bad payed politics and starting traveling all across the country staying at every available Ritz Carlton (or better) - Giving stupid speeches for adoring idiots and a pottful of money and finally wearing Prada without a bad conscious? -
And why are so called 'Political Pundits' (you?) - are unable to comprehend tha 'Show Biz' could
be soo much more satisfying?
Wow! So much for defending the Constitution. And we thought George Bush was bad. If Palin ever became President, obviously free speech would quashed before she even sat down in the Oval Office. We'd have a totalitarian regime faster than Palin could wink.
Some one needs to get her on some meds quick! The paranoia has set in and there are little green liberal men everywhere out to get her!
It just makes me wonder how you define "abuse" of free speech. That seems awfully vague. I might be wrong but once you willfully put yourself into the limelight and become a public figure, you can't legally claim defamation of character anymore.
Good God, considering the incredibly crap that is said by bloggers and Fox News about Obama and Michelle, and Palin calls what is said about her "abuse". Talk about hypocrisy.
..and it has been from day one. The woman has been caught in so many lies and half truths from the beginning, while the right-wing spin machine claims that she lost popularity due to the economy taking a turn (which now they are blaming Obama for).
For the media and the public to assume something fishy is going on is SOLELY the fault of Palin, due to her odd behavior, lies, distortion of facts and unethical behavior. Remember - she was found GUILTY of abuse of power allegations regarding Troopergate.
I can only assume that Palin and her political like, think that the American public suffers from short term memory lapses and/or is just plain stupid. We aren't. Well, most of us anyway.
I think that was one of the non-defamatory phrases Sarah used on the campaign trail.
I note, however, that her attorney says she is not under investigation for the Wasilla sports complex and its connection to the construction of her home. He goes to great lengths to prove that she did not participate in any wrongdoing with respect to that facility. He goes so far as to say, "we can categorically state that we are not aware of any 'federal investigation' that has been 'pending' for the last seven years. We are aware of no subpoenas on SBS regarding the Palins."
He does not "categorically state" that neither she nor Todd are under any investigation whatsoever.
I'm not a lawyer; is that significant?
a little suing only helps - It keeps you in the headlines and is good for rallying the base - and as long as they are paying for the lawyer too - It's perfect!
Interesting thought that Palin is just a quitter by nature. It's possible, I suppose (although she has stayed married a long time). Then what would have happened if she'd become Veep and got bored with it?
PS. The ducks in the background, like the hapless turkeys at Thanksgiving, were priceless!
remember when you got your knickers all in knots about her, Joan and I told you she is no match for Paris Hilton (and I wasn't even talking about Obama) -- But now --
Bitches!!
Krass!!
the smirky, snarky, everybody's picking on me whine is just perfect for the Repubs to understand. They are ALL doing it because they aren't in power anymore. And don't understand WHY? Why don't they love us in Iraq? Why don't they see that all us white,rich, ideologues spewing hate aren't honored for all the fuckups we've visited on our country? I'm still thinking hubby got caught doing something to rasca;;y to get away with. Just a guess.
to see you Joan - as a guest on Palins show on FOX - I betcha it will be even more fun than your
very entertaining with this old male clown you had to encounter last time!
Ms. Walsh,
Were I in need of a lawyer, I would certainly NOT use this gentleman.
There's an awful lot of opinion and personal attacks here, and very little in the way of demonstrable facts. It seems more likely this is a part of a planned media campaign to keep Governor Palin's name, (and ongoing drama), in the public spotlight, while portraying her a the innocent victim of those mean leftist media elitists.
Odd, indeed; Palin's announcement just prior to a holiday weekend was curious enough. Now, her lawyer's "defense" comes during the same holiday. What, he couldn't wait until Monday?
Yes, they were! I went back and listened to it again because the first time I was watching with the family and between all the laughing in the house and the smart-ass remarks being thrown at the tv, ("Are those ducks? Loons? Goats? Is she giving a speech to the barnyard animals? Maybe she has assembled a manger-obvious Jesus complex and all...") I thought maybe I had missed the REASON she gave for quitting.
But upon listening a 2nd and even 3rd time, she still never gave a reason that was comprehensible to anyone. I would have more luck understanding what the ducks were saying!
Palin's biggest problem are the handler she has hired to handle her public relations. Anyone who had an ounce of sense or good experience in public relations of a public figure would have prevented Palin from engaging in many of her media missteps.
For Instance:
- Allowing her to do those TV interviews withoutout proper preparation or knowledge on the subjects..
-Giving a press conference during thanksgiving in front of facility where turkeys were being killed in the background.
Palin, unfortunately has no fear of public speaking, yet she does not even realize that every one of her speeches and public statements makes no sense at all. She consistently uses improper grammar, inserts words into her rambling sentences which have relevance to the sentence.
She is a darling for the 'under educated' who resent intellectuals, and is loved by those family values supporters who really lack good ethics.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
