I just found this little article as I was about to go to bed. I thought that some here would like reading it although few Palin haters and Obama worshipers will like it. Too much truth when the writer says that all the sources Purdum says he had aren't named but this fellow has the names of other McCain staffers who say this is garbage and that Purdum has no sources listed. I guess when you are taking part in a possible lie you don't want your name reported. Try this link to see something not purely Palin-hating.
Sarah Palin: An "unholy amalgam"? - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl420 - broken link)
A great piece. I agree that narcissistic personality disorder fits her perfectly.
The grandiosity, the lack of empathy, the shallow emotions.
It's startling when you finally see it.
I saw it during the Vice Presidential debates, when Biden described losing his family in a car accident... and Palin, so intent on parroting whatever her next line was, brusquely and without the slightest emotion cut him off and started droning about oil or some such crap.
I mean, something is so wrong with her that she can't even pretend to be human.
It's not that I actually expect her to care that Biden's wife and child died.
It's just that what human beings do, when somebody tells them- with tears in their eyes- about the death of their wife and child in a tragic accident, is pause for a moment. And then possibly offer some sort of condolence. But even if they don't say anything, they still pause, and their facial expression indicates something other than smug, amused, self-righteous aggression.
That was an "ah-ha!" moment for me.
It was like there was some sort of weird reptile, some snake or lizard, living behind Palin's eyes. Not human, and not capable of empathy or any other ordinary human emotion.
I was undecided as to who I would vote for but I was leaning toward McCain. When he picked Palin, I had no idea who or what she was. I did an extensive 'net search on the woman. Her cronyism, vindictiveness, lies, poor decision making as Mayor of Wasilla and total disregard for her unborn child (traveling thousands of miles in labor) made me an Obama supporter. What came later during the campaign only enforced my decision.

I see you did your search on left handed sites. Right?
The Palin Smear Continues. It's always anonymous sources. I bet by intimidated women. Chicks are so caddy.
From the article (7 men and 1 woman),
Quote:
Onetime supporters have become harsh critics. Walter Hickel, 89, a former two-term governor and interior secretary, and the grand old man of Alaska politics, who was co-chair of Palin’s winning gubernatorial campaign, in 2006, now washes his hands of her. He told me simply, “I don’t give a damn what she does.”
Quote:
“Remember,” says Lyda Green, a former Republican state senator who once represented Palin’s home district, and who over the years went from being a supporter of Palin’s to a bitter foe, “her nickname in high school was ‘Barracuda.’ I was never called Barracuda. Were you? There’s a certain instinct there that you go for the jugular.”
Quote:
“I helped her out, she got elected,” Hickel now. “She never called me once in her life after that.”
Quote:
Andrew Halcro later remembered that he and Palin once compared notes about their many encounters, and she said, “Andrew, I watch you at these debates with no notes, no papers, and yet when asked questions, you spout off facts, figures, and policies, and I’m amazed. But then I look out into the audience and I ask myself, Does any of this really matter?”
Quote:
...Lyda Green, then the president of the state senate, returned to her office to catch up on some paperwork. She caught Palin on the news. “And she comes on TV and says, ‘I want to once again confirm that neither I nor my staff ever holds closed-door meetings.’ Well, we had just been in a closed-door meeting for an hour and a half!”

“She didn’t work very hard. You would speak to her on particular issues, and it was like she didn’t know anything about them and she never seemed very engaged.” That said, “if your priorities happened to be her priorities, you could build a coalition.”
Quote:
Only weeks after Palin praised John Bitney for doing so much to make her first legislative session a success, she summarily fired him—because, he says, he had had the bad luck to fall in love with the wife of one of the Palins’ best friends (a woman he has since married).
Quote:
...Persily told me, “Everyone in the room left thinking she’d said no. Then her staff said, ‘She didn’t say no. She just didn’t say yes.”’ Palin wound up taking all but about 3 percent of the $900 million available to Alaska.
Quote:
Gregg Erickson, an independent economic consultant in Juneau, concludes, “Everything she’s doing seems to be saying that there’ll be a problem in the future owing to her inattention, but she won’t be here to deal with it.”
Quote:
McCain went on, “There’s a lot of good people out there, and I’ve left out somebody’s name and I’m going to hear about it.”
Quote:
When I ask Bitney what he makes of the whole Palin phenomenon, he sighs. “What do I take away from this?” he asks. “Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s just a lot of emotions and stuff. I find it’s frustrating dealing with Sarah, because it seems we’re always dealing with emotional crap and we never seem to be able to focus on the business at hand that needs to be done. I don’t know whether to blame her or pity her for all this emotional upheaval that we’re always going through with her.
Just 3 weeks before the election, John McCain's OWN TEAM didn't think Palin was ready to be EVEN Vice President, and yet Republicans continue hoping she will run for President herself in 2012.
Palin has so much dirt/baggage/controversy that she might as well check out before she even begins campaigning... Wait, she's campaigning already right...
