Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's carefully crafted image as a regular hockey mom has taken a few hits since her unsuccessful vice presidential bid.
~snips~
But all those who wonder whether revelations of her personal prima donna qualities will damage her image are proceeding from an assumption that she does, in fact, disguise her self-centered side well in managed environments. I've long disagreed with that assessment, because her famous Facebook postings often have the tone of a nasty, snotty, slightly dense but popular high-school girl. Sample recent line: "Okay, Mr. President, you tell us we have to keep looking backward (as we’re steered toward the cliff)."
Palin's dark side came out in full effect this weekend, and this time the victim was not President Obama but a schoolteacher in small-town Alaska. Palin was there to film segment of a nature program on TLC, and she confronted Kathleen Gustafson who was holding up a sign reading "WORST GOVERNOR EVER." Palin clearly intended to disarm Gustafson with her charm, but instead got defensive.
Gustafson, said, "You swore on your precious Bible that you would uphold the interests of this state, and then when cash was waved in front of your face, you quit." To which Palin responded, her tone dripping with unamusing sarcasm, "Oh, you wanted me to be your governor! I’m honored! Thank you!" Palin went on to use the same tone of nasal condescension when saying she was "honored" that Gustafson considers her a celebrity.
It's true, schoolteachers are definitely not a Republican constituency, but anyone, even a Republican, running for president needs to make nice with them on a personal level, just as Democrats do with the military or police officers. This latest incident won't help Palin's negative favorability ratings.

I wonder how Homer High School would feel knowing that one of their “Theater Techs” was pretending to be an actual teacher. What next, a janitor pretending to be a principal LOL. Liberals are so stupid, don’t they know anyone can find out anything about them on the Internet. I’m loving this, it was supposed to be a set-up but instead of it biting Sarah in the behind, its biting the progressive idiot in the butt..its fun when they get a taste of their own medicine for a change
I guess Pissant is taking a thread off. Servo is taking his place tonight.
It’s not nice to talk about a future president’s butt, Tom.
I, for one, am not offended that Sarah stood up to a leftist union thug.
D@mn, you’re GOOD!!!
Maybe he's a partner in the Falcon Party of two.......
And yet he got elected. Twice! The media hated him, and so did the RNC.
I don’t think the “teacher” did any of the filings, but Moore was one of the ringleaders among the anklebiters.
You and pissant are two of a kind. The Wrong kind.
The “Teacher” is a singer in a drag queen band, and she is not even a teacher, she is a theater tech. Liberals stretching the truth once again, what else is knew. A leftist drag queen, nice..I wonder how Homer High School feels about having an employee who does that during their spare time
So she's a liar too!
When Sarah asked her what she did there, "Kathleen" said she was a teacher. "And I do a few other jobs around here, too..."
Yeah she sure does do a “Few other jobs” such as being in a singer in a drag queen band. A liberal who lies, I know, I am stunned, stunned I tell ya
Thanks for the video link! It’s good to see what really happened. Was that Willow defending her Mom? Great to see!
Thank you for the information. God bless. My memory for the names of haters has all but left me. MAYBE I should rejoice.
I thought that was Bristol defending Sarah. At least it looked like Bristol to me
He’s just a no-name nothing, slimey, little wet-behind-his-ears punk, without a clue to who’s good for our country and who’s not. Shame on Ben.
Good catch,onyx.
Newsweek misunderstood the assignment and jumped the snark.
But I would never question their patriotism.
Thanks, for your service.
I'm down on all of 'em. Regrettably I can think of nobody to hoist the mantle. So I may be forced to hold my nose (again) and vote for the lesser of two evils.
OMG! LOL. I’m stuck at Gateway in another window. I am trying to grab the pic to post it. Hahahahahahaha.
LOL!!! Poor ol’ libtards are going more insane. Nice job Sarah Palin!
Yeah you gotta post it. I guess we now know what this “Teacher” does during her spare time. This is the best the left could find, at least find an actual teacher. But since their side is full of loons, the best they could do is a theater tech who does drag at night
