Sarah Palin finally gets real
Yahoo! News ^ | September 9, 2014 | Andrew Romano

Posted on 09/09/2014 11:20:16 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I watched all 77 videos on her new online TV channel and lived to tell the tale. In fact, I was actually kind of … moved.

Sarah Palin still exists.

I know. I was beginning to have my doubts, too. Once upon a time, Palin was everywhere. On Fox News. On reality TV. On the cover of Time. And Newsweek. And Time. And Newsweek. And Time, and Newsweek, and Newsweek again.

Now Palin is none of those places. For most of us, she is but a receding image in the rearview mirror of human history — a bit of trivia to be trotted out on a future episode of "Who Remembers the Aughties?" That meticulous chestnut coif. Those glinting, frameless glasses. That chirpy "you betcha" accent. The Mama Grizzly herself.

And yet, as I recently discovered — the hard way — Palin is still with us. By "with" I mean starring in a steady stream of shoestring videos on her own Internet television station. And by "us" I mean "anyone who is willing to send Sarah Palin $9.95 a month or $99.95 a year for the privilege of watching said videos." (Palin's fellow yesteryear conservative Glenn Beck also relies on a subscription-based channel to maintain — and monetize — his political celebrity.)

Curious? Of course you are. (You clicked on this story, didn't you?) The sad truth, however, is that in these tough economic times, many Americans don’t have as much money to spend on Sarah Palin videos as they once did.

So I've decided to help out....

..........will never cease to amaze me how Sarah gets the goat of the left!

If her running mate had not been a decrepit fossil who allowed his staff to set her up for media destruction, she would have snatched victory from the grasp of their Lord High Annointed One, Obama.

THAT is why they HATE her!

I dismissed Sarah Palin when she resigned as Governor of AK. I never have been able to figure that out. It gave me the impression she is a quitter.

It was brilliant. She would have been hard pressed to have accomplished anything more impressive in the remaining term, plus the Democrats were bankrupting her family by filing frivolous law suits against her which their family had to pay to defend against.

Resigning as Governor took away that weapon, and she would be far more useful to the cause elsewhere.

The mystery is why she didn't run in 2012, when her "listening tour" showed she'd win in a landslide.

IMHO the "powers that be" threatened her or her family.

If elections really decided things do you think they would let us vote? Or something like that. Mark Twain.

I suspect 2012 was her chance. I personally think she was done in by Bristol getting harassed at that bar when she was filming her reality show. With Bristol and Willow against a run—and probably realizing that she couldn’t win without her family behind her, a better organization, and more money than she’d lined up at the time—she called it off.

Unfortunately, resigning made any future run much more difficult. She could have paid off even the cost of the additional suits with her first book.

I know she was worn out, but I believe the decision was a mistake. She should have just toughed it out.

She “stinks” to the left. It’s the smell of death to them.

Ping to Sarah's Awesome List!

Andrew Romano is a Grade A Snook though.

Yahoo News would make Radio Moscow Proud.

The peak was probably summer of 2011 when she did the bus tours and that Iowa passion video.

“The problem is that I do have that fire in my belly” LOL

Who is “most of us” Romano? You and your cubicle monkeys?

And how would you know about human history Romano? From the echo chamber inside your quorum of whackadoodles?

You’re lucky to even be able to write about her let alone write in general.

The MSM just can’t stop talking about her, even if this idiot wants to pretend she vanished.

They were bleeding her family dry with legal expenses. Short of filing bankruptcy she had no alternative. She could not ask for legal defense donations, she could not recoup attorney’s fees. You would do the same thing in her position.

Alaska should pass a law that vexatious litigation against a publicly elected office holder should be initially funded by the state treasury or public donations and another law that the loser pays.

I understand. Some people have a hard time figuring out a lot of things. I admire you for at least trying.

Dude, I ain’t mocking her. I think she’s great. Just a little too tangy on the audio side.

Porn was more a commentary on the internet — practically built on porn and games. It had nothing to do whatsoever about Sarah Palin so yea, I would have most certainly included it if we were talking about a man, but then you only said that because you’re racist /s.

Sounds like Andrew Romano was badly in need of something to get himself some attention in the Leftist media again.

So, attempting to regain his (self perceived) 2008 notoriety (via his 2008 campaign blog, "Stumper"), he spews forth a "Bucket-O-BS" about Gov. Palin "fading away" from the limelight.

Projecting, like all Lefties do.

A little Loserboy, for sure.

Wonder where his red plaid jammies and cup of coco are?

Does the recent indictment against Governor Perry give you the impression he is a felon?
