Easy to know when a picture is taken by a Palin photographer — a wide-angle lens is used. :)

He sucks, period!

"If yer scared , you should stay home!"

A n'Orleans female cop said that to a knife weildin' punk during Madi Gras when he said he had it 'cause he was scared.

Sort'a puts it all in perspective for me.

If you afraid of the most wonderful "for the people" leader of all time, well, you should stay home, 'cause your obviously not one of us people.

You wanted comments, I gave you one.

I have been reading her book also and I am amazed at the comments I have received since I have it sitting on my desk at work. Both positive and negative- it really gets people going. Everyone has an opinion about Sarah. The liberals at work get rabid about her and one told me he use to think pretty highly of me before he saw that I am reading her book. I don't argue with stupid -but I did think about asking him ‘What are you thinking about sending me to the gulag for reading this comrade?’
I like the book, it does give you a lot of back ground about her, since we can't trust the mainstream media to give us anything positive concerning her.

She quit her position as Governor of Alaska, not to run for higher office, but to become a millionaire author.

She didn't quit.....she's reloading.

Comments?

I don't think Jacob Heilbrunn thinks very highly of Sarah Palin.

[Al B.]

Shealah Craighead has worked for the MSM (AP and Boston Globe) but more recently was official White House photographer for the Bush White House. She was also Laura Bush's personal photorapher.

Last fall she worked for the McCain campaign as Palin's personal photographer.

Now she works for SarahPAC.

If so, I guess I misunderstand the purpose of FreeRepublic...

I don't think you have any misunderstanding of the purpose of FR.

I get a good laugh reading articles generated by spittle specked drama queens posing as superior intellects, typing furiously, while admiring themselves in their mirrors.

Post em if you got em, and let the owner of FR and his band of merry moderators determine what is, or is not, appropriate for posting on FR.

There wasn’t this level of excitement among the Dems about Geraldine Ferraro running for VP

[reefdiver]

Don’t ya just love it when liberal writers from the press are worried about the Conservative future in this Country? She must terrify the godless lying fools that they are

[TexasBarak]

She quit her position as mayor of Wasilla. She quit her position as Governor of Alaska,

She didn't quit as mayor of Wasilla- she was limited to two terms. She did resign (in protest) from a state board, then eventually ran for governer. When she was unable to function effectively as governer, she resigned. It's all there in her statement at the time, and it was the honorable and right thing to do both for her state and her family.

[Gargantua]

"She quit her position as mayor of Wasilla. She quit her position as Governor of Alaska..."

Yeah, but at least she doesn't suck. You feelin' me yet?

Ronald Brownstein of the Atlantic and National Journal was fascinated that Palin has become the neocon horse ...

Palin's a "neocon"?????

I suspect that liberals use the word "neocon" for the sole reason that it has a Hollywood kind of sound that is more eeeeeeevil and diabolical than "conservative," "social conservative," or "Republican." They have no idea what a "neocon" actually IS -- just that the word sounds more ominous.

[Finny]

She gets to have it both ways: values and vixen.

What a completely inane sentiment. Maybe she should gain 80 pounds and take other steps to make herself unnattracive. I mean, isn't that what female Democrat candidates do?

The big bad wolf is afraid of Sarah Palin.
