Please, make her go away.


Oh, and that interviewer is a tool.

Palin needs to go back and govern Alaska. She lost, get over it, and move on.

But the media has been soo gosh darn mean to her!!!

[Potter82]

So this is a "pit bull" with lipstick? yeah, what could be tougher than whining and a refusal to take any personal responsibility? Katie Couric did not exactly give her the Frost/Nixon treatment, the only one who made Palin look stupid during that interview was Palin.

Can someone please explain to me why Palin said this "Katie, you're not the center of everyone's universe" -this makes no sense in the context of the interview.

Couric did what reporters do, she interviewed someone. How does that make her the center of everyone's universe? Does conducting interviews make you a diva? This sounds like a case of projection to me; someone clearly thinks of themselves as the center of the universe but it sure as shit isn't Couric. After all, she isn't appearing on news shows crying about how others weren't nice to her. That sounds like self-important Diva behaviour to me, something Oprah or Mariah Carey would do.

""But she doesn't want people in the "Lower 48" being "sucked into believing what too many in the mainstream media want them to believe."" - JESUS! The lower 48!? I'm a Canadian and I don't have a map with me, but I'm pretty damn sure Hawaii is not parallel or north of Alaska. I'd like to think a Governor would have a basic grasp of US geography, especially one so familiar with Russia :P

I can't get over how whiny and childish Palin and her supporters are. They seem to point fingers at absolutely everyone and take responsibility for absolutely nothing. Party of personal responsibility my ass, more like the "don't look at me, it's not my fault waahh" party.

This chick is single-handedly killing the chances of a future female president.

I think your only half wrong there. It's gonna kill any chance for a girly pretty female like Palin to get elected but I think strong women like Hillary still have a good chance.

Hawaii is not part of the "Lower 48"; it's just a phrase she apparently chose to use to help illustrate her very special point that voters in the Lower 48 were too distant from Alaska to reallyk now what was going on with the Palins instead of just being mindlessly influenced by the media. Hawaii is just about always forsaken in elections anyway because of time difference.

Otherwise...I couldn't get past the first two minutes of this pain.

Yeah, I think I saw something about this on that obnoxious Red Eye show a couple of nights ago. They can blame the media all they want. They can blame the media for the fact that their awful ideology was loudly and triumphantly repudiated by the voters two months ago. They can blame the media for not grilling Obama even further on the Blagojevich scandal, even though the only two things they have in common is the state in which they live. They can blame the media for their "fair" treatment of Caroline Kennedy, even though they have consistently questioned her qualifications and even her intelligence. They can blame the media for not giving credence to their bogus and incredulous claims against Obama--one of those arguments being, according to Conservapedia, that Barack Obama will "Likely be the First Muslim President" (http://www.conservapedia.com/Barack_Obama).

Or, they can blame themselves for the way their disgraceful and overall hateful nature has shifted them out of power in favor of a party that is traditonally weak on ideas.

There's a wiki site for Conservatives to post bullshit? I guess when you can't alter history on wikipedia you make your own on a pseudo-informative website.

You haven't actually checked that site out, have you?

Oh, yeah, I'd read it; I was just amused by such a harsh condemnation. Whether it's definitevly "bullshit" or not is subjective, but there are surely some stretches in this one article I have read. I guess my initial reading led me to interpret that Vong was implying this vast right-wing conspiracy, etc. I'm sure he was/is much more rational, but so are my typical posts (at least I feel so, since they're often more than smartass dismissals with a single smiley).

Perhaps the magnitude of the :rolleyes: has become too great in the way its been used. I sometimes come close to taking offense to it as well (well, as far as being offended on an internet forum goes).

ah so it's an actual expression? nevermind then, I withdraw this criticism of her - there's still plenty left

If the GOP think Palin and those like her are the future of their party, then this should scare the ever living shit out of them;

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28579278/

"Imagine that the major demographic groups voted as they did in 2008, but cast a share of the vote equal to their expected share of the population in 2020. (For argument's sake, let's divide whites among college and noncollege voters in the same proportions as today.) In that scenario, Obama beats McCain by nearly 14 points -- almost twice as much as in 2008. Demography will indeed be destiny if Republicans can't broaden their reach"

No amount of spin will change this trend, it is reality. The GOP can either adapt by changing it's policies and rhetoric or cease to function as a unified party (it happens, political parties come and go - it's happened in the US, the UK, and Canada, hell I'm sure it's happened in most modern democracies so don't say it can't happen)... however, I question the GOP's ability to adapt to changing realities, in large part because a substantial number of Republicans don't believe in evolution & thus may be unfamiliar with the concept

Yeah, that's what I was trying to convey...all good.

The guy who interviewed Palin is conservative radio guy John Ziegler, and he is the typical right wing nut job. He's made a documentary called "How Obama got Elected" where he basically blames the liberal media for everything.

He was on MSNBC the past couple days, proving that he is pretty much bat-shit insane. video link here. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/09/david-shuster-and-john-zi_n_156669.html)
