(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.”

Yes she can and she is doing it quite well.
They only win, if we fail to call them out and identify them for what they are.
I have great respect for your diligence. Great job on the war across the border too.
Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me....
You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of check and balances [at '60 Minutes'] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing....
Yep. This sort of thing just cements the impression that she’s AAA-league material who got drafted into the Major Leages all of a sudden and just couldn’t stand the heat. Worse, she sounds like a whiner, and if there’s anything Americans hate it’s a whiner.
When I say ‘win’, I mean politically. They fail to realize there is more to this country than ‘politics’...I hope.
THAT is EXACTLY what any successful Republican has to do, the lack therof is the worst mistakes of the Bush presidencies. If they couldnt do it themselves, they should have hired someone who could. I believe Sarah can.
“So far, for the 2012 elections, Sarah is the only name on the ticket. She is a true conservative, unlike the wishy washy RINOs that are the (2)face of the party now.
“
The Republicans need some longterm leadership and a game plan to protect the positions and integrity of the potential candidates. If not, the media will define them again!
It bugs the heck out of me that CNN used the word “callin’” to show that Palin often drops the final “g” of words. I’ve heard Obama drop the final “g” a number of times yet never once have I seen the MSM quote him that way.
Until Sarah brought it up, I had no idea that the “Trig” nonsense was continuing. And I’m a certified news junkie. She has to be careful about raising dead issues that only a handful of one-percenters are interested in, it diminishes her (especially in a world where the journalists want very badly to diminish her).
I am old enough to remember the Traitors in the MSM to this country during the Vietnam War. And nobody paid a price in blood for that treachery in the media or the movie industry. And I use that word "blood" intentionally. The stain upon this country during Vietnam and Reagan's presidency brought upon us by the pro communist MSM has never been washed away by the execution of these people for Treason. And now we see the same scum celebrating an closet Marxist in the white house and a MSM sellout of our troops in the field.
Until there is an accounting for this and Justice is restored we will continue to go down the drain. We have been morally out of whack for decades because the true enemies among us still breath free air!
But your work moves that accounting closer. Well down.
We will have time enough for issues later when issues really matter, but right now the diabolical attitudes have to be changed. The only way to do that is to confront them at every turn.
Once something is let go or passed off it becomes fact no matter how absurd or wrong or irrelevant it might be.
That is the trouble with conservatives at this time. Hillary's confirmation for instance. Will she be asked hard questions about she and her husband's nefarious fund raising activities. I think not. Not even by the so-called conservatives on the committee.
See what I mean?
‘Yes, but what do the “normal” people outside the base think about this? That she is a fighter?? That she is a whiner? That is what is so frustrating. I want her to call out the media, but not at the expense of alienating people outside the base. Not that CNN is any gauge of the average voter, but just read the comments over there, 99% trashing of her...’
The folks who post at CNN are not ‘average’ anything. They’re die-hard Dems. Sarah could cure cancer and eliminate poverty from the face of the Earth and run against a Klansman and those folks still wouldn’t vote for her. As far as alienating ‘normal’ folks outside the base, Sarah hasn’t said anything out-of-bounds (IMO) that would cause the ‘average’ person to look at her in a bad way. Her family got trashed, she’s discussing it in a fair way, and anyone who can’t appreciate that SHOULD go post on the CNN site. :-)
Okay. I guess it is possible to reach a point of diminishing returns in politics too.
You are boring -—whining about her whining!
MEEEEE-OW!
They are sooooo transparent.
She should spend a lot of money on pretty clothing and just let hired political handlers tell her what to say. That plan worked so well during the campaign.
Well you’re in luck - there are threads today about her not taking bailout money for her state when Obama is inaugurated and the massive amount of money and stimulus are doled out. She is on record saying she does not accept this and is staying true to her fiscal conservative roots - only 3 republican governors are doing this in 2009 - the only money she is taking is the normal amount that is allocated on an annual basis for govt. projects... you can do a little search next time you think all you are hearing about is her “whining” - btw - most of this is due to ONE INTERVIEW based on the documentary coming out but because it gets posted everywhere - everyone thinks she is all over the place giving interviews and whining about everything. She answered the interviewers questions for the documentary... many of these that I see being posted are the same questions and responses
Apparently the only *men* in the GOP today are women!
