Nick Broomfield thrown out of Sarah Palin Rally
Daily Mail ^ | 6th August 2011 | Daily Mail Reporter

Posted on 09/10/2011 3:07:29 PM PDT by sinanju

"...During the exchange, Palin is seen taking questions from the rally's host about Obama care.

Regurgitating her infamous 'death panel' analogy, Mrs Palin then takes a question concerning the Tea Party, but is interrupted by Broomfield, who shouts 'are you going to take any questions from the floor'.

After being told there is 'no time', he then shouts, 'Do you think your political career is over?'.

Palin pauses to take a sip of water, before turning to the crowd and saying 'why don't you ask these people'.

After the crowd settle down, two rally staffers appear and ask him to leave.

(snip)

One of those who spoke to Broomfield was Palin's ex-legislative director John Bitney.

In a scathing attack, Bitney is said to talk about how palin often ignored him when he gave advice, spending her time glued to a Blackberry instead.

Hes aid: 'It was frustrating to set up a meeting with legislative leadership to talk about a piece of legislation or a bill or an issue or something that needed to be worked out.

'She was very unengaged in the conversation.'

(snip)

The director also described the small, conservative Alaskan town as being like 'Twin Peaks'.

Broomfield said: 'People are frightened to talk.

'Wasilla makes Twin Peaks look like a walk in the park.

'It's a devout evangelical community – 76 churches with a population of only six thousand.'"

OK, so here is the Daily Mail review. Compare and save.

"Wasilla makes Twin Peaks look like a walk in the park."

Good thing Broomfield didn't stay longer in Wasilla, he could have compared it to "The Wicker Man" and "The Dark Secret of Harvest Home" while he was at it.

Ok, comparing and confabulating this review with the New York Magazine one, I think I'll just have to see this movie. Something tells me I'll be in stitches at the unintentional hilarity.

John Bitney Sarah Palin!

"..John Bitney was a top aide in Sarah Palin’s 2006 governor campaign.

Seven weeks after winning the election, Palin reportedly fired John Bitney officially for “poor job performance” reports the WSJ today..."

Their source is so out of date he is covered is mold and cobwebs.

The Brit documentary film maker (Kurt and Courtney) who just did a Mikey Moore-style hit piece on Sarah Palin You Betcha!

Scroll down the posts a bit and you'll come to the New York Magazine review of the film that gives it short shrift and references the Daily Mail review.

Palin always has sharp off the cuff comebacks for these guys. "Is your political career over?" She pauses, takes a sip of water so she doesn't look stunned or doesn't say something she shouldn't, and throws him to the crowd! Well why don't you ask these people~~~~!!!! That politically sharp. Take it from a guy who has been a political handler. That kind of sharpness is very hard to teach. Reagan had it in spades; Palin is showing that she has it too.

The other comment about 76 churches in a population of 6000 is just funny. Liberals get as uncomfortable as a whore in church when they see church goers!

Conservatives are too chicken to do that.
