(CNN) — Sarah Palin fired a new salvo in her war on the media, unloading in a new interview on her home state paper and “bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie.”
The Alaska governor, who has granted a steady stream of interviews since Election Day, also told an Esquire reporter that she wishes she had told McCain campaign advisors she’d be “callin’ some of the shots.”

That's how I had her pegged from Day One. She was utterly unqualified for the VP slot, though it's absolutely not HER fault she was offered it, and given that she's a rank amateur as far as that level of politics is concerned, it's not really her fault she didn't realize the whole thing was way over her head and do the smart thing and decline.
She's obviously ambitious and may well have the *potential* to be a serious national political figure many years down the road, if she focuses on developing her knowledge and skills in that direction. However, carrying on this endless media campaign about how "everyone was so mean to me, and it's so unfair" is just solidifying herself (both in reality and in public perception) as a rank amateur who's never going to be anything more. When the heck is she going to shut up and focus on her TWO full time jobs -- mother of 3 children still at home, and governor of Alaska? She couldn't possibly have time for this self-obsessive media campaign if she was doing justice to those jobs.
My first attempt at fighting back. A little freeping would be nice:)

Remember how President Bush handled that? Didn't say a word. Absolutely the right approach.
Ain't that the beauty of limited government? In the time after the election she rejected Obama's bail-out pork, focuses on national security and energy, hosted dozens of diplomats from across the world and rejected a pay raise.
Don't you love this GovernmentShrinker?
Good work....we all owe you a hearty thanks !
Sometimes it’s not always smart to call a spade a spade, no matter how true it is. Many politicians shoot themselves in the foot by speaking the truth, but offending tons of people while doing so. Like the guy who said liberals hate real Americans...he got defeated by a lot because of that comment.
What would you call a spade then? A kitty cat? Abe Lincoln? Limp-wristed, spaghetti-spined, yellow-bellied attitudes like this are what get politicians and other humans marginalized by the public, and by history. You know damn well that Palin offends 'tons of people' simply by being alive. If you think it unwise of her to speak of this, that the level of calumny from the left during the election should remain unanswered now for fear of 'offending' anybody, then I suspect you are posting on the wrong forum. Try TMZ or Huffpo or something.
Looks like we have a bevy of posters who only signed up to bash Sarah. November last year.
I disagree. Someone forged a government official’s name on a document (through photocopy).
The forger never has been charged or sentenced.
SeeBS-Viacom should’ve faced an FCC hearing on their license for the abuse of the public trust.
Even when the fraud was exposed, there was no on air coverage of the controversy.
I’d say that is a big FAIL.
Yeah, they’re hitting the immigration/alien threads too.
The more they win, the nastier they get.
The longer people are on FR, the more they remember that the MSM did not address.
Even the tens of millions who knew of “Joe the Plumber” and Obama’s appeal for Marxist redistribution of wealth were ignored prior to the final presidential debate. The MSM knew who Joe was but had said nothing, Obama didn’t even recall the encounter and thought it was someone who McCain knew (like Biden’s “friends” he would mention in speeches), the pundits and bloggers thought it was a “Joe six-pack” everyman reference. The media had to suddenly explain WHO this guy was, and part of their “expose” was a smear campaign, partnered with a shadow government of Democrats who abuse the powers of their unelected offices to dig for dirt in government records on Joe and provide the details to the media. COLLUSION between Democrats and the PravdaPress are hurting this country.
I signed up after 9-11 but I’d been reading FR regularly before that (and WND before that).
The history of America as reported by the MSM is false. In part because there is complete fraud in some of the reporting (not just differences of perspective but manufacturing of quotes and sources).
Magnificent post. And it’s just a refresher. Over the last thirty years the consumer press has evolved into such a mess of plain bullshit that it makes Hamas propaganda look honest and forthright by comparison.
Only God can move these losers off the dime. Pray that he does.
Actually she is a product of the Chicago Machine, hooked up with the first sleezebag then moved to Arkansas.
I noticed that too. So many new signups with great advice for Sarah and the GOP. *spit*
Yeah, ‘bout as much chance of winning as the other combo.
You used that term twice in your post, obviously you prefer professional politicians. That's a powerful stink. Are you suggesting that Biden is better qualified, or Pelosi, or Kennedy because they are the professionals you want instead of Sarah Palin?
Of course anyone knows we should let the RNC and MSN determine our schedule.
