Thank goodness that the American public understood that Sarah Palin was not ready for prime time.  Even women I know who are usually Republicans found her unappealing and not very smart.  People I knew who were liberal feminists had a harder time criticizing her—maybe because they were too desperate for a woman, any woman, to run. 

Isn’t also ironic that just as Nieman Marcus and Saks are posting losses for the last month as not even rich people wanted to shop, the stores are also getting publicity as places Palin shopped during Octber?  Is that good publicity?

Sarah Palin makes George W Bush look like an intellectual. Seriously.

In an alternate universe, McCain won, and Palin is now Veep-elect. Imagine how you’d feel if these stories about her emerged.

When she couldn’t name any news sources that she reads, others were shocked, saying that she must be uninformed. I was shocked that she was caught flat-footed and couldn’t even lie about something so basic. If a politician is so flimsy that she can’t even deflect such a basic question, how can she deal with the big leagues of politics?

Well, according to Palin’s aide (who is trying to refute all of this), she actually has a “photographic memory.” I guess it doesn’t apply to magazines, though?  Because they later claimed that she reads the Economist.

Of course, the same aide unintentionally confirmed several other facts in the story, like the fact that a wealthy donor was asked to pay for all of those expenses.  So she’s even bad at lying, it would appear.

This isn’t a story. I was confused by the headline and then the line hinting at a new story that will ‘put her away’—followed by the same old shopping story with different dollar amounts? Stop wasting my time. The election is over. Cease the petty BS and find something intelligent to write about. I don’t want to see her in DC, ever, but it’s time to leave her alone.

What a vile person she really turned out to be.  I was nauseated the first time I saw her when she spoke at the RNC.

And it just jept on getting worse.  Let’s hope she simply fades away.

She showed the worst side of humanity.

What is your problem?

Question what did Obmama pay for his suites smarty?
How about Hilary or any one out compaigning?

Have you ask the question?

If you have not shut the hell up!

How can you say something bad when you don’t compare!!!!

All comments in the press should compare the opposite side show all the true facts, then make what every editoral you want.  It just to easy to bash, to lazy to get it right.

I wonder sometime how some journalist actually graduated from college.

Ah, the little verbal assassins are busily sniping away in their dark little rooms with the three V’s of the internet snipe.  Villify.  Vitriol.  Venom.

Yet Sarah Palin remains the youthful and popular
governor of Alaska.  She’s a success in the real world

And just what have you verbal assassins accomplished in your little lives in the real world?

Take my name of this leftist website. I can not believe you are actually printed and reporting mis-truths of Sarah Palin. The one you should be afraid of is Michelle Obama and how she will influence her husband!!
