Video Exclusive: A Revealing Morning With Sarah Palin
Big Hollywood ^ | 1/8/9 | John Ziegler

Posted on 01/08/2009 3:31:56 PM PST by bimboeruption

If someone told me five months ago that in early January I would pay over $1,400 for an incredibly inconvenient plane ticket and $120 for a 3 a.m. cab fare to get from sunny Los Angeles to Wasilla, Alaska, I would have told them there was a better chance the Dow Jones would be below 9,000 and a gallon of gas less than two dollars.

If they would have told me I’d be glad to have made the journey (even with a seven-hour, weather-aided stop in Seattle), I would have told them Sarah Palin had a better chance to be John McCain’s running-mate. Of course, as we all now know this turned out to be true. And even though I still have the flu I got just before the trip, I’m thrilled to have experienced minus-eleven degrees in Alaska.

Obviously, I was there to interview Governor Palin for my forthcoming documentary about the media coverage of election 2008. My understanding is that the only reason Governor Palin did this interview (while rejecting hundreds of other requests) is because of her sincere devotion to setting the record straight on what really happened during the campaign and to determine why the news coverage was as dangerously slanted as it so clearly was.

Largely because of absurd claims by Democrats that she was violating ethics rules by answering campaign questions on state grounds (one of several ways in which the Democrats in Alaska, who used to love her, are now fully invested in the “take Sarah Palin down” industry), we did the interview at the Palin home. At 9 a.m., without a security guard or handler in sight, Bristol Palin, eight days removed from giving birth, politely answered the door and Governor Palin, not yet fully put together, rushed out to tell myself...

Governor Palin is ‘All That and a Bag of Chips,’ IMHO.

I’m currently working on a local campaign for Nancy Mistele (R, WI) to beat out our current ‘Rat County Executive.

Her Kick-Off party last week was a ‘standing room only’ affair, and we Conservatives are well on our way to victory!

If my tiny little Cow Town is working this hard to unseat a local ‘Rat, I know others out there are also doing so.

Gives me hope for 2012, because if we run the right candidate, it WILL be a landslide victory. :)

HECK YEAH SARAH PALIN 2012!!! Just when I posted that, a bunch of libs were seen hurling themselves off of office buildings, so hey its win/win, Sarah becomes President, and we don’t have to deal with libs anymore. If I were Sarah I would have used some more colorful language to describe the “media” but hey that’s just me. Sarah is such class, she can tell off the media without cursing. My kinda gal. No wonder the left fear her so much

“As a former TV sportscaster and radio talk show host I’ve interviewed a lot big-time “celebrities,” and can honestly say that even though you could argue Sarah Palin was the most prominent, she is also by far the nicest, most sincere and seemingly honest subject I’ve ever questioned.”

Wow.

Another FYI for a great personal account from John Ziegler on his trek to Wasilla to interview Governor Palin. Well worth the read, IMO.
Beyond the great interview for the film (from which there is still plenty of tremendous stuff yet to come), the most important part of my visit to the Palin home was learning there’s a big difference between thinking something is true and knowing for sure it is. I now know Sarah Palin is exactly who I thought she was.

Do you think that places like Virginia, North Carolina, Nevada, and Colorado have flipped permanently to blue?

Woah, I had no idea John Ziegler was from Philly and graduated from Holy Ghost Prep.

I think we’ll have a better idea when we have an election where an actual Republican runs against a Democrat.

Thanks for the working link. Governor Palin came across as "edgy". I'm a die-hard conservative and I'm nervous hearing her speak and defend herself and her family so eloquently. Imagine how the lying scum in the MSM feels about her. :)

Nope. History is on our side, and by the end of the next four years, this ‘One Term Wonder Messiah’ will be history as well. :)

I hope you’re right. The latte-NPR crowd escaping from Cali into neighboring states and the gubment workers in VA scare me.

‘I hope you’re right. The latte-NPR crowd escaping from Cali into neighboring states and the gubment workers in VA scare me.’

I wonder...is the California exodus due in part to suffocating taxes and rising immigrant-related crime? Two subjects that the GOP should own. Anyway...
