Former Gov. Sarah Palin on 'My Toughest Year So Far'
CBN News ^ | December 1, 2015 | Wendy Griffith

Posted on 12/01/2015 2:53:25 PM PST by Bratch

NEW YORK -- Two presidential campaigns ago, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin became a conservative superstar. Seven years later, the self-proclaimed "Mamma Grizzly" is calling 2015 one of the toughest years of her life.

"Some things happened that I haven't talked about publicly, things like getting canned from a job I really liked, sort of out of the blue, because I called somebody out," she said.

Palin was let go from her job as a Fox News political analyst in June. 

"Next morning I got word, 'Oh, we no longer need you anymore,'" she recalled. "Yeah, it was a shock, but more power to Fox News."

"They're a private enterprise," she continued. "They can fire someone for wearing the wrong color tie that day - that's their prerogative and I've been on both sides of the hiring and firing."

"They (Fox) still interview you?" CBN News' Wendy Griffith asked the former governor.

"Heck, yeah. I have a great relationship with them," she replied. "It was just kind of a little bit of a shocker of knowing that the 'haters' are going to love this one."

Then, the tabloids went into overdrive when the long-awaited marriage of her 25-year-old daughter Bristol didn't happen, even though she's pregnant with her ex-fiancé's baby.

The cancelled engagement was then followed by a cancer scare.

"Bristol said, 'Mom, you need to go into the doctor and get that thing checked," Palin recalled. "She insisted and I resisted so I finally went in to a doctor and got something checked, came back, biopsy - a cancer."

"Melanoma?" Griffith asked.

"Yeah, something like that," Palin said. "Anyway, a surgeon dug it out and everything was okay."

Her other “scandal” if I recall was the brawl their family had at a party in Alaska.

A little Whiskey Tango action they are ashamed of.

OMG that is TERRIBLE..there are different variations of melonoma but to lose an arm is HORRIBLE prayers go out to him he should have checked it much sooner. Its weird to say this considering he lost his arm but he is lucky he didn’t lose his life. Melanoma once it goes into the bloodstream it can spread anywhere that is why it kills so many people. Luckily the kind of skin cancer my uncle has doesn’t spread but they have to keep on cutting and biopsying it over and over again so that is not fun..and he can never be out in the sun and when he has to he wears a hat and a lot of sun screen

Oh Yeah, Yeah, The Fox News Thing.

Who Cares about that?!

Those gigs are a Dime a Dozen.

As for who spoke out to have Fox News not renew with her, it is just like the Good Ole GOPer's in Alaska who HATE her Guts because she put some of them in Jail.

Haters Gonna Hate.

I love Sarah and maybe I shouldn’t throw this in but if that was her toughest year then she’s doing ok.

Thanks for the thread, Bratch...didn’t know that the Gov had such a health scare.

Greg, I thought you’d like to read this Palin thread.

A asymmetrical (you cannot draw a line through the middle)

B border. The borders of the spot are irregular

C color. The colors of the spot is uneven.

D diameter. The spot has a diameter the size of a pencil
eraser.

If you have a spot on your skin that has the A B C D of melanoma go to the doctor now.

The night of her debate with Democrat Joe Biden in front of millions of television viewers - she desperately wanted someone to pray with her "because it's a big darn deal and no one on the campaign team seemed real enthused about praying," she joked.

Quelle surprise

Hey Sarah, I hear that Alaska could use a new Senator.

The thoroughly corrupt Alaska GOPe would never allow it.
