Sarah Palin: Mama grizzlies united
The Washington Post's She The People ^ | August 6, 2012 | Diana Reese

CLEVELAND, Mo—Sarah Palin did not disappoint.

The crowd cheered and applauded repeatedly during her speech here Friday night, from her opening remarks about “mama grizzlies” on the Missouri state flag to her promise to stop at the local Chick-fil-A for a midnight snack.

It was the first time I’d ever seen Palin in person, and it was well worth the 19-mile drive from my suburban Kansas City home to The Berry Patch, a you-pick blueberry farm near Cleveland, Mo., population 665, in rural Cass County.

Not because I’m a fan or even agree with her ideology, but to see what all the fuss has been about.

Palin was in the Kansas City area to campaign for Sarah Steelman, who’s in a tight three-way race in Tuesday’s Republican primary for Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat. The winner will face Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) in November.

Somehow, Palin has achieved celebrity status since the 2008 election. How many failed vice presidential candidates and former Alaska governors end up with book deals and reality TV shows? With an estimated net worth of $12 million?

When Palin took to the makeshift stage in the middle of a Missouri farm field, she was dressed more for the part of Hollywood celebrity than serious politician....

... we made the 65 mile trip and enjoyed every minute of it...

Glad to hear it. Yep, the comparisons are clear: Palin, a role model as a politician, mother, wife and even daughter. And the Dem femmes: politicians like Pelosi, mothers like Cher, wives like Roseanne Barr, daughters like Susan Sarandon. I wonder if Reese in her dark quiet moments can acknowledge the seething envy, that drives her hatred.

This is a hit piece written by a woman with some very serious self-image problems, that she is projecting onto Sarah Palin, and is suffering from a powerful high wattage Neon-Green jealousy that has become life poisoning and self destructive for her.

Bottom line it is quite obvious that Diana Reese wants what Sarah has but deep down inside Diana knows she will never have it.

And rightfully so. I just wish they would stay there, but they always manage to crawl back.

She never once removed her oversized sunglasses.”

What's she supposed to do? Come out, lift her prescription sunglasses off her nose and say "It is I. Palin"

OK. I'd laugh

Diana sounds like such a jealous hack. That’s why many liberal women hate Sarah Palin, because Sarah is beautiful, both inside and out, and liberal women are so disgusting looking, both in body and soul
Exactly right.
