(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 shed be callin some of the shots.

She also means the paid Slick Willard *omney trollbot scum that infests Conservative websites like FR. They were badmouthing her every bit as much as their Democrat media friends.
I feel tired of it but I also think it only feels this way to political junkies or people like us who have seen/read just about all of her interviews. I know people who have yet to see any of her comments on this much less feel tired of it.
Coming from someone who has flat out hated her from day one. Right.
I agree with you - the average voter that doesn’t bother to inform themselves (which as we know are many if not most)will feel that she’s being whiny.
Yes, follow Reagan and take your case directly to the people, but wait until you have something to say about issues. The average American voter - the ones that rely on Good Morning American and People magazine for their news - do not feel the media did anything wrong by pushing Zero on us. And those people are the ones that judge by articles above. They will think she’s another naggy, whiny woman.
I don’t necessarily prefer professional politicians, but general professionals who have the skills, experience, and knowledge to function at the national and international level. President Bush made the cut, even though only a small part of his adult life has been spent as a “professional politician”. Dick Cheney was certainly VERY professional, displaying senior level professionalism in both public and private sector positions. Same with Mitt Romney — absolutely at home at very senior levels in both the public and private sectors (I wasn’t thrilled about his socialist health care stuff in Massachusetts, but he was serving his constituents the way they wanted to be served). Condi Rice is another. And so are many people, both Republicans and Democrats, who really are strictly career politicians (e.g. McCain, who is wisely steering completely clear of Sarah’s post-election whine-fest). These people don’t make idiotic blunders on the national/international stage and let themselves get sidetracked by their own hurt feelings. They have a constant awareness of, and accurate read on, the big picture and how what they do and say will be perceived by various other parties. Palin simply doesn’t, and what bodes poorly for her prospects of ever ascending to that level, is that she seems completely oblivious to her shortcomings.
As for Biden/Pelosi/Kennedy, I disagree with their politics, but they are most certainly better qualified to represent the positions they advocate (which is presumably what the people who voted for them want them to do), than Sarah Palin. They know how to get things done, to forge the necessary alliances, even with people who disagree with them and have “been mean” to them in the past. Presumably they weren’t born with senior-level skills and experience, but they HAVE acquired them. Sarah is in kindergarten compared to any of those three.
I think their home address is on the TeamSarah web site. I think just addressed to her at Wassilla, AK. would get to her.
Sorry, but this is now a one-party country and it is all on them. There is NOTHING TO LOSE and I, for one, am delighted that Gov. Palin is taking those crooked b**tards on. It is essential that any opposition call them for what they are and find ways around it. She has given enough interviews now on this where I think she can back down for awhile and let 0bama and the Demonrats destroy their myth. It is an uphill battle, but then she can come back blasting all of them. Like I say, nothing to lose at this point and the media and Demonrats are ONE IN THE SAME. No way around it.
I agree on the pathetic posts on here and find it astounding that some think you are going to EVER get a fair deal if you are a conservative with the media. They have been in the all-out-attack mode since her first coming on the national stage. She is right to take it to the media. They cannot be given any appearance of legitimacy.
so true.
