and the sleastaks go "do da do, do da do...hsssssss"
Two simple words:
Class. Act.
I watched the entire hour and I thought the team was extremely nice to her. And she was very funny and pleasant - caught reading a bunch of newspapers and taking over Matt’s office without his permission.
The only problem was that she kept her physical distance from the group when they were standing around. Ann Curry kept drawing her in by the arm. I wonder why? She did that with Donald Trump. Do Alaskans like their space or do we NYers smell bad?!
She was also great with Torie Spelling. Everyone seemed charmed by the Divine Sarah.
Link won’t connect.
Doesn’t the mere fact that she was offered her position obliterate the idea that they really believe her to be an airhead?
Lauer observed Palin skillfully using an 18" serrated knife with blood groove to trip a few loose clothing threads on the cameraman.
And pretty much every FReeper KNEW IT!
-—Within about 15 minutes, Lauer’s attitude seemed to change.-—
This would have happened universally IF SHE RAN!
Sigh.
I can’t for the life of me understand why Sarah would indulge the indecent, repugnant, disgusting NBC Company.
NBC is the company that employs Al Sharpton, Chris Matthews, and formerly Keith Olbermann.
NBC is the absolute worst of all of the networks, and that is saying something.
I watched. She did fine. She is very likable. But she should have told NBC to crap in their hats.
I watched up to the Tori Spelling segment. I thought she handled herself well, but I will tell you who else impressed me, and that was Dr. Nancy Snyderman. Since I don’t watch the Today show, I have no knowledge on the doctor, but she included Sarah with eye contact, turning her head in Sarah’s direction to engage her or to listen to her answers and just generally being gracious and classy. Star Jones looked like she had an attitude the whole time...I know, quite a departure from her usual demeanor.
From the clips I watched, it looked pretty good. My only disappointment with her was that she is taking up the “anyone but Obama” mantra. Romney does not deserve conservative support, even passive support. However, Sarah is a politician and she will burn her bridges to not back Romney IF he sews it up. You could tell she wasn’t too happy with having to accept Romney, but she tired hard to put on the game face.
Folks, we cannot win an election based purely upon “anybody but Obama” mentality. I for one cannot ever even passively support Romney because he does not represent even minimal standards in what I expect in a candidate.
Merely voting “against Obama” instead of “for someone” is a recipe for a loss. Plus, it would be better to lose with a conservative running.....at least we have something to be for instead of merely against.
I like both Newt and Santorum. I understand many on this forum loath Santorum (I suspect it is mainly because he is a true social conservative), but at this phase if folks would support him then we can keep Romney for winning on a first ballot. The convention will be open and “possibly” a conservative could emerge. As it is now, we will be stuck with Romney. Not even coming up to minimal standards of acceptability, IMO. Hence, apathy and no turn out in the general election with a sure fire Obama victory. And as I have stated before, I’m not sure Romney would be any better than Obama.
