This is more like a compilation. But also search for each of the complete interviews too.

YouTube - Sarah Mania! Sarah Palin's Greatest Hits

It's scary that she could someday be our president if something were to happen to him as president.

It's hilarious when she uses words like "maverick" over and over. It's like when kids learn a new word and they use it every chance they get.
Great link! I think that's why they've decided she can't interview anymore. She makes a total fool of herself and of McCain. He carried more weight before Palin. He's lost all credibility with her.

A great mom??? I'm sorry, I just can't respect any woman who thinks its okay for her 17 year old daughter to be pregnant. Its NOT okay. She is pro sex education in schools, but can't teach her own kid to ask her boyfriend to use a condom if she wants to be sexually active?

She really does make Dumbya look like member of Mensa.

She will have to wait a lot longer than 2016 to rehabilitate herself politically. That's simply too soon for her to return to the national scene. Too many memories.

BTW, fruit fly research is basic biology. When my DD was a college sophomore, she did some fruit fly research. It's how biologists learn. But then, Sarah knew that, right?

Okay, she is talking about spending more money for special needs children by cutting wasteful government spending. One way to cut spending is to limit earmarks for pet projects, something McCain has always fought against. However, it's kind of ironic, since Alaska has been the biggest abuser of earmarks.

Anyway, since this scientific study may prove very beneficial to children with autism, she again put her foot in her mouth. At least she wears very expensive shoes!

Think Progress » Memo To Palin: Fruit Fly Research Has Led To Advances In Understanding Autism

Tonight I was watching Rachel Maddow and one guest was a Senator from Alaska. Rachel made a comment after he spoke that all the people from Alaska she's had on her show speak very articulately! (nobody says betcha!)




I followed your link and read the material. I also checked out another source. Maybe I missed something because I'm not seeing where the research being funded is any different than any other research projects seeking funding that make similar claims. I guess I would be pretty surprised if a researcher who was looking for funding came out and said the work I want you to pay for may, or may not, have any benefits for anyone but I still want some money! On the other hand, if the same researcher said that the research he or she wanted you to fund will almost certainly cure Lupus (a disease I personally have), their augments for funding will stand a better chance of being realized. If noting else, It will have the effect of silencing critics of pork barrel spending because nobody wants to be on the other end of a witch hunt or be accused of blocking critical research. But from what I've seen, it is always critical life saving research these people want to spend my tax dollars on. If you could provide me with any other information about this research that makes it different from so many others making similar claims, that would be greatly appreciated.

"Methotrexate (MTX), a popular cancer-fighting drug also used to treat psoriasis, ectopic pregnancies, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, lasts a long time in the body and causes birth defects in children from women who have it in their systems. The study of the drug's effect on fruit flies has allowed Queen's researchers including graduate student Joslynn Affleck to identify the genes on which the drug acts.
"We hope that through this model system we can provide insight into mammalian birth defects, which may be expected to increase in frequency in the future, due to the recent elevated use of MTX," says Affleck."

Basically what she's always saying..."I'm a complete nitwit that doesn't belong here but will energize the even stupider Republican/talk-radio base, so that's why Mr.Mavericky picked me...So watch as I try to B.S. my way through this thing"

That is true. Bush speaking and the Bushisms went from funny-to-scary-to-downright pity.

I'm actually finding myself feeling sorry for the guy. To have to live with being a failure on the level he has been...You have to think at some point he didn't really mean the harm he's done...I think the creeps behind the curtain really knew what they were doing and didn't have a concious about it...The Dick Cheneys, Rumsfelds, Wolfowitzs, Frums, Armitages...
Bush was just a useful idiot for them, and at some point, even as dumb as he appears to be, I think it's going to hit him what damage he has done to the country and world!

Here's a translation of Palin's words.

The audio is important- not the visual.

Ooooh, you betcha she thinks fruit flies are nothing but icky icky bugs and even though they can survive a nukeyular reaction, well that just goes to show ya that fruit flies are nothing but a reminder of Satan and they have been ever since the time the dinosaurs walked with man. Dontcha know.
