Sarah and friends.....

Two years after entering the nation’s klieg lights Sarah Palin is the subject of a detailed and sometimes scathing profile in next month’s Vanity Fair. The portrait that emerges is one of a willful, often-paranoid, sometimes vengeful woman with a terrible temper and a knack for folksy soundbites, who knows her strengths, saw her moment in the spotlight and has grabbed onto it with both hands. Or as Vanity Fair’s Michael Joseph Gross puts it “anywhere you peel back the skin of Sarah Palin’s life, a sad and moldering strangeness lies beneath.”

He points out that she had earlier claimed to have some" exposure.
'Palin writes that she immediately thought of a special-needs child she knew very well: her autistic nephew.'
Sullivan says this is an example of a Palin out and out lie.
This represents the level of desperation of Andrew Sullivan and like minded Media types in trashing the former Governor.
These comments are so petty they could have been authored by Allan Colmes who hosts a talk radio show nobody watches and writes books nobody reads.
Glad to see you back, p!
If you say so, I would never question your motives. ...you are an honorable man.
If even one IOTA of this is true, name any male politician who isn’t behaving (actually expected to behave) as bad or worse!
Andrew Sullivan’s “trig” musings are enough to demonstrate the man is mentally unbalanced.

Pissant, it’s time to support candidates that can win. I liked and supported Duncan Hunter, but Governors and occassional Senators or Generals win the Presidency; Congressmen do not (without being VP first). They don’t know how to run the campaign (one example was Hunter’s weak fundraising with huge amounts going to the firm he hired to do it - no state base of donors to build on). Palin has been a Governor, been through a national campaign, draws hugely enthusiastic response from her supporters, and is a conservative. She has supported conservative challengers across the country in primaries to established “moderate” Republicans — witness the Alaska race that was just CONCEDED today. Impossible a month ago — Palin’s conservative candidate wins today. She has avoided losers in those races like Hayworth versus McCain. That is politically astute — not “liberal.” Hayworth was a weak candidate and McCain had the money and the ammuniion from Hayward’s past to crush him. Don’t put yourself in a box in your thinking. Instead be objective and take account of the reality of today’s and tomorrow’s politics.
When you’re on the left end of the spectrum, anything normal is a a sad and moldering strangeness. At my place in the Liberty part of the spectrum they look like Zombies to me.
Uh, welcome to FR?
She’s on our side.
Thank you : )!
KV’s Doc was sharing a story about his wife and him going to MD conventions and having dinner in upscale dining.
His wife is a dead ringer for Sarah and they both get a kick out of the “great” service/catering and the other guests peeking over when they dine out in the “big City”.
Not that there is any connection to this thread just popped into my mind.
Megan McCain/Vanity fair ect...all doing anti Sarah crap throwing right now.
As I said before the little twit McCain needs to do something relevant like Dancing with the Stars.
We were LOL at her saying she agrees with most everything Sarah does except she is pro abort and pro homosexual agenda.
Well ya dumb big mouth twit those are 2 huge issues to not agree on.
We really really like Sarah but her now of age daughter going on Dancing with the Stars and saying she is doing it to get away from the drama in Alaska. WTH!
I bet Sarah and family end up raising the grand kid.
It might be best. Curious who is caring for her kid while she is in hollywood and the sperm donor is off trying to reclaim his 7 mins of fame.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! ! !
Actually, that's Vanity Fair rotting away on grocery store shelves!
Sarah and friends.....
I was with you up until this point. Hayworth ran a respectable campaign. McCain just plain outspent him (with funds left over from his failed presidential campaign which there should be a campaign finance law against).
ROFL. When even libtard Smith disses your article, you know you’ve hit rock bottom.
Almost everything here, could be applied to Herself, the Cold and Joyless, one-time Presidential candidate, and currently Secretary of State (understand Herself got the job because the now failing obama regime thought she could take shorthand).
The more extreme forms of projection, trying to picture opposition as bearing the same faults as the champions of the ones making the assertions, is an old technique, probably well practiced in the days of Byzantium and the House of Medici. And the outcome did not bode well for those who practiced the art of projection.
This caricature of Sarah Palin is almost too indistinct to ever let through the true light that fills and illuminates the sphere in which she walks. Sarah is none of these things of which the author of this piece has tried to paint her, which probably means, she has hit a very tender nerve and they don’t like it, not one bit.
The only sad and moldering strangeness I can see is the hit piece in Vanity Fair. What a crock!!
Exactly. If you are a political analyst, and Palin seems to be the best one out there right now based on her results, you have to factor money into the equation. I’m not saying anything bad about Hayworth. I’m saying McCain had ammo from Hayworth’s past and McCain’s money gave him a big enough gun to use it effectively. I would have liked to see McCain lose just because he didn’t go after Obama in the same way. And Palin was smart as a whip not to support Hayworth and lose against a sitting Senator, who will be sitting again when she runs for President, and who launched her to national prominence. Sarah Palin’s results are not just luck. She’s smart politically. Very smart. I hesitate to say how smart she seems to be after these “impossible” victories and these “tempting” defeats that she avoided.
