How could someone filled with such promise plunge so far, so fast? How does one go from national icon to national laughingstock?
Thats exactly what has happened to Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.
Once arguably the GOPs most charismatic celebrity, Palin is now better known for thriving in this role of right wing shock jock as Nicolle Wallace, a former senior adviser for the John McCain-Palin campaign, now puts it.
Its a far cry from Sept. 3, 2008, when Palin, then the largely unknown Alaska governor, confidently strode onto the stage at the Republican National Convention as McCains running mate and introduced herself to the world. It was a breakthrough moment supporters saw in her a political outsider, a feisty advocate for conservative values, and a hockey mom with five children (including one son on his way to fight in Iraq and another born with Down syndrome).
On the campaign trail, Palin electrified voters portraying herself up as governor who stood up to special interests, lobbyists, big oil companies and the good-ol boys network. And to the delight of the partys base voters, she painted then-Democratic nominee Barack Obama, as an out-of-touch elitist who had nothing to offer but empty promises....

and it sold..... maybe five whole copies?
At this point, the only politics-related job Nicolle, or Varys the Schmidt, or any of the anti-Palin sandbaggers, should be doing is delivering pizza.
And yet in Boehner’s lawsuit he lists Obama’s acts which are impeachable.
Yes even Churchill stood alone at one time as well.
Palin should always remember Benazir Bhutto and her fate.
“How could someone filled with such promise plunge so far, so fast? How does one go from national icon to national laughingstock?”
Um, actually that applies better to your network, Ms. Frumin. Except the part about ever being a national icon.
“Once arguably the GOPs most charismatic celebrity, Palin is now better known for thriving in this role of right wing shock jock as Nicolle Wallace, a former senior adviser for the John McCain-Palin campaign, now puts it.”
BWAHAHAHA!!! Nicole Wallace? What, was Steve Schmidt not available?
The fact that leftards still feel the need to go after Palin six years after the 2008 elections suggests that she still has some clout. At the very least, it indicates she continues to live rent-free in their progressive little noggins. Which probably gives Sarah a chuckle or two now and then, and that’s what *really* burns them.
The thing is, I read most of what is posted here. I love FR. This is the best news and opinion site on the web.
I just don't understand what motivates people to post mostly negative stuff. I don't see it as an effective way to change things or to influence people.
Sir Winston Churchill stood alone when warning of the dangers of Islam and Hitler, too!
Sarah could be our Sir Winston!
Ping.
The percentage just changed again.
Now it’s at 11%!:

Romney and his backstabbing hordes have TWICE
put Obama in.
As if RomneyCare and RomneyMarriage were not enuf,
the G.O.P. truly means:
We Gave.Obama.Power.
Get Over Phreedom.
The media wasn’t quite as obviously vicious back then, they we’re still pretending to be “objective”. When RR took the microphone and said “I paid for this microphone” they all s**t their collective pants. Oh crap, how do we deal with this, they thought. Then they formulated a strategy to never let that happen again. Enter Alinsky. Alinsky tactics were deployed before Barry, he just used it to maximum affect.
Now, they’re not even pretending. Constant attack, Alinsky style. It seems to work.
YOUR mind?....LOL! What was the purpose of bringing Rush Limbaugh into the conversation........?
“How does one go from national icon to national laughingstock?”
7 years of relentless, sometimes insane, mainstream media brand-bashing and ridicule might have something to do with it.
Sarah is hated because she is usually right.
I do disagree with her on impeachment.
I dunno, Aliyah - if your face wasn't totally up your Lord Obama's backside, you might ask HIM that question. Tip - when you Place Guard types are performing CPR on Obama's poopgeschutzen, you're not supposed to slip it the tongue...
Nah, a Palace Guard media shill like Aliyah Frumin would never deviate from the Democrat party line.
Our friends at NewsBusters expose the little news-tart for what she really is:
Aliyah Frumin, Democrat cheerleader

Sarah must have really touched a nerve to bring on a Total Palace Guard media barrage like the one from this week.
The focus groups must be polling badly for the Sunni punk.
...she [Sarah Palin] painted then-Democratic nominee Barack Obama, as an out-of-touch elitist who had nothing to offer but empty promises...
Oh, the irony - totally lost on A Palace Guard spearcatcher for Obama.
Sarah Palin is head ‘n shoulders above most female politicians....she lacks the Clinton evilness, the Lois Lerner criminality and disrespect of Americans....the Michelle Obama, not elected, hatefulness....and on and on and on....Sarah is an American gem.
