Palin: Couric was "Badgering" and Biased
CBS News ^ | 11-12-09 | AP

Posted on 11/12/2009 3:21:41 PM PST by nomoremods

The rumors are true, according to Sarah Palin: The McCain-Palin campaign was not a happy family.

And she says that most of her legal bills were generated defending what she called frivolous ethics complaints, but she reveals that about $500,000 was a bill she received to pay for the McCain campaign vetting her for the VP nod.

She said when she asked the McCain campaign if it would help her financially, she was told McCain's camp would have paid all the bills if he'd won; since he lost, the vetting legal bills were her responsibility.

Katie really should take better care of those gums. Looks like she’s got some gingivitis going on there.
LOL!

From the film about Governor Palin that talk radio host John Ziegler has produced:

Not another nickel to the national GOP until Palin’s bill is paid.

Agreed. No more GOP payments from me. they can keep their #@@### Christmas Cards.

I'll bet nobody had to pay anything to vet Obama because he likely never was...

It sickens me that I voted for him too, but when I think of it, I voted for HER, not HIM. I went to the polls, looked for her name and voted.

THIS SHOULD BE RULE #1 FOR CONSERVATIVES.

DO NOT agree to any interview without taping the interview in its entirety and post it on you tube before the said interview is broadcast. That way the spin and editing of the piece can be contrasted with the raw interview.

This would have a natural calibrating effect on MSM when their BS is showing.

McCain would have weakened the Republican party even from it’s weak state. One thing Obama did was to strengthen and focus the conservative movement. McCain is ancient history, and thank God!

but no index

Liberals traditionally don't read the news (NY Times, et al losing $$$), don't watch informative TV (choosing MSNBC for example), believe Bush is responsible for everything that happened (even in Clinton's WH years), and think Hollywood movies "tell it like it is." How on earth could they find the sections of the book they want to argue (so they can post on Daily Kos) without an index (because they certainly have no intent to read the entire book and let Sarah's perspective taint their worm-holed and defiant brains).

about $500,000 was a bill she received to pay for the McCain campaign vetting her for the VP nod... She said when she asked the McCain campaign if it would help her financially, she was told McCain's camp would have paid all the bills if he'd won; since he lost, the vetting legal bills were her responsibility.

In other words, to be blunt, McCain charged her half a million for the privilege of helping him.

The guy is shameful. He has a long history of this kind of double-dealing. I swore for two years that I would sit home before I'd vote for the two-faced conman, and in the end I ate my own words and voted for him. Every so often he rubs my face in it.

I was equally stunned. (Poor bebber.) I thought it would be up to those who were doing the picking to pay the bills! This just makes me more angry than ever at politicians. They are hidious craven animals!

Did you just see Bret Bair on FNC? Talking about Palin and he puts that other anti-Palin book up “Going Rouge” !!! WHAT ARE THEY DOING AT FOX THESE DAYS???

I don't watch any of the alphabets anymore at all, and Fox is hanging by a thread, thanks mainly to Beck who is the main reason I tune in at all. It wouldn't take much of this for me to turn them off altogether.

What a damn snake McCain is. He should be asked about this every time he sticks his face in front of a camera, from now until hell freezes over.

That POS needs to go down in the primary, or before.

no wonder McCain looked worried when he was asked about Palin’s book, he had every right to be worried. I sincerely hope she doesn’t go and campaign for him next year, I’d rather see her endorse and campaign for someone challenging him in a primary, I don’t even care if it’s just another RINO, it’s time for McCain to pack up and go live in one of his 7 houses.

But they vetted her BEFORE she agreed to be his running mate.

Right?

she (Palin) reveals that about one-tenth of the $500,000 was a bill she received to pay for the McCain campaign vetting her for the VP nod.

She said when she asked the McCain campaign if it would help her financially, she was told McCain’s camp would have paid all the bills if he’d won; since he lost, the vetting legal bills were her responsibility.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a new low. Not only did they backstab Palin, they twisted the knife and sent her bill for the clean up. Now I know whey they call him “Johnny McLame”.

Giving her a bill for the vetting??? GIVE ME A FRICKEN BREAK!!!!

Palin: Couric was "Badgering" and Biased

When I used to hunt N.W. Kansas, badgers were shot on sight and left for the coyotes............

Fortunately for Couric and Gibson, no coyote or other scavenger would touch their rancid corpses............
