You can feel the charm when you watch her operate in person, that Sarah Palin. You dont expect it, but its there the awkward mix of pseudo-authenticity and charisma, the smooth way with a room full of reporters, the way she just carries on, regardless.
Me, I was taken aback. Shes practically my new bestie, now. Squeezed my hand, called me honey, even stopped to squeeze my shoulder on her way out and thank me. We had a wee chat and a laugh.
Palin was here Friday for an early breakfast event to promote her new series on a fairly obscure channel, The Sportsman Channel, a thing called Amazing America With Sarah Palin. Introduced by a network executive as The First lady Of The Outdoors, Palin took to the podium and gave it her best. The voice, the tone that goes up and down in odd squawks, is familiar, but it sure wakes you up in the morning when its unleashed.
The Sportsman Channel is so bold to ask me along, she said, with bold coming out in a squawk. Im gonna work to bust this network out! she declared and even smiled as she heard a few titters. You critics are gonna have a ball with me and this new show.
Then she went into her self-deprecating mode: A demeanour shes acquired, if its real at all, from her political experience, her up and-down-career as a pundit on Fox News and the critical blasting of her TLC reality series, Sarah Palins Alaska. You know how much I love critics and the media, said a grinning Palin. So a room full of television critics, I can't beat this combination for pleasure.(continued)

Thank you very much for locating the photo of that twit author, John Doyle, who was definitely out of his element at this SPORTS related event.
Obviously he’d be a lot more comfortable in a crochet class or a knitting circle.

They say and write that because they’re afraid of her intelligence and demeanor. The haven’t a coherent thought between them, any Liberal.

According to my wife it all boils down to this: libs detest strong, beautiful women. Throw in conservative and you’ve got a major hate under way. Go Sarah!

All I could think as I read this drivel was,what an ass the author was. Not one opportunity missed to throw a backhanded compliment. What a sleaze. Michael Medved takes the same approach against her.
