Palin "fibbed" to Matt Lauer. She implied that she was insulted that Katie Couric asked her what she read up there in Alaska. In fact, Couric never mentioned Alaska; it was Palin that mentioned it rather defensively in the interview when she realized she had no answer. And of course, Lauer let her get away with it. Transcript follows:
Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
Couric: What, specifically?
Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.
Couric: Can you name a few?
Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

Someone has told Palin to "strike while the iron is hot" but that's all there is to it. What is she supposed to talk about for four years? Her Nobel Prize winning work on the philosophy of good governance? Is she going to employ the media to talk about how awful the media is for four years? It's beyond silly already. It's soooo Republican.

People like Palin just say whatever will get them what they want (usually approval, power and money). "Partisan" is a "bad thing," so of course, Palin is not partisan, according to her. The stuff that's "bad" is usually exactly what they ARE, but being very obvious big fat liars doesn't bother them - or their supporters.
This is because people like Palin believe in nothing. I mean, say what you will about the tenets of traditional conservatism, at least it's an ethos. These babbling, amoral nihilist fuckwits are something else entirely.

Andrew writes to Jack Cafferty: Who cares about Sarah Palin?
There are two reasons: 1) She’s attractive. For better or for worse, people listen when pretty girls talk, no matter what nonsense may come out of their mouths.
2) Incompetence, by itself, is not entertaining. However, when the incompetent are supremely self-confident, full of certitude, and absent of insight, it’s absolutely compelling.
I wrote my opinion about this to Jack Cafferty, too. I said that Sarah Palin is like a TV 'reality' series. The shock value comes from not knowing what will come out of her mouth next. She is completely unpredictable, which is what reality is all about, right. And the fear factor is there because she might actually run for national office some day and, with the help of the lowest common denominators in our country, she could win. Now that's something to fear. She's a sure ratings winner. Personally, I don't think she's qualified to have Vanna White's job.

I'm surprised I haven't seen an article on Americablog talking about the "emergency loans" the fed gave to banks (some places indicate to the tune of trillions of dollars) and their stonewalling on revealing the collateral and recipients.
This is an issue we all should be very concerned about. I know Prop H8 has most of us occupied, and it should, but don't forget that billions (perhaps trillions) of our tax dollars are being given away, with no accountability or oversight.

The GOP has always lived in fantasy land. Since before Reagan, since Barry Goldwater, really. Rush Limbaugh and the rest of right-wing hate radio perpetrate stupifyingly obvious lies and their willfully ignorant listeners gladly push reality aside and eagerly believe anything they are told. Republicans hate reality, as it's well known that reality has a Liberal bias.
Ronald Reagan hated reality, too. And when the Acting-President rules over us for 8 years while living in a non-existent fantasy land, the people of the US feel comfortable believing the most outlandish lies.

Palin is too dim to realize that her greatest appeal as a candidate was to rabid partisans. Doesn't matter what she thinks she is. The next few months are going to be very interesting. The very last thing the RNC wants is a divided party, and Sarah Palin's continued involvement in national politics will cut the Republican Party right down the middle. The RNC knows that it will never win another national election unless it can attract younger, more moderate conservatives. Those people will never accept a pro-life creationist as a candidate, much less someone who thinks they have foreign policy experience because they can see Russia from their kitchen. At some point in time, Sarah Palin is going to get a call or a visit from the head of the RNC, asking her to butt out of national politics. Another four years of experience isn't going to make her more intelligent or moderate. "Change" is not in her pocket dictionary. Listen to this woman speak. She makes the Village Idiot sound like Winston Churchill.

Sarah Palin gives professional women a bad name!! She is so ambitious even to the detriment of the person she was running with. I was a single working mother for over 30 years and raised two children on my own. I do not agree with any of her positions on the issues!! She has the audaciousness of a less than intelligent person. She couldn't (or wouldn't) even answer the question about what publications/magazines she reads. Does this sound like a thinking person who feels like she has something to contribute to the national scene? Sarah, go back to Alaska until you have grown up and become more informed on all of the issues - not just those that you know about in Alaska! I think John McCain would have had a much better shot with a different woman as his running mate (like Kay Bailey Hutchinson).

Why do liberals and Democrats love to throw around the word "partisan." I hardly think they know what it means anymore - "partisan partisan partisan." Saying that someone is "palling around with terrorists" is a statement that shows Obama's lack of judgement when it comes to his own associates. Is it the wrong language to use? Probably. Is it a low blow? Yes. Is it the truth that Bill Ayers and Obama were friends? Probably. It is not, however, particularly partisan in the fact that it shows bias when it comes to policies - which should be the issues at hand.
Palin's record in Alaska does show that she is largely bipartisan when it comes to major issues. Yet one verbal insult on the Obamessiah and she is the most partisan person in the world. I know it comes as a shock to most of you that anyone would question the integrity of "the one," but maybe someone should - SINCE HE WILL BE RUNNING THE COUNTRY! Sadly though, I guess campaign rallies (and things said at them) are the only thing that Obama supporters can really relate to - as his campaign is the biggest accomplishment of his entire career.

Now that the restraints of the campaign staff are off, poor Sarah is all too anxious to speak out and speak up in an effort to redeem herself . Ever notice how whenever she is unscripted, Run-on Sentence Sarah strings together key words and phrases? They are recycled briefing session talking points strung together by folksy and often religion-based colloquialisms. Always Ambious Sarah hopes to salvage her reputation for a future role in the GOP. She has the potential to become the savior of the far right-wing of the GOP, the model conservative woman-- attractive, baby-maker, sharp-tongued airhead. And there lies the problem--the more she talks, the dumber she sounds.
Matt, Greta, Charlie, Sean, Katie, Palin has become irrelevent. We don't care anymore. Even a train wreck becomes boring after a while.
