I don't think my statement was being **judgy** at all.

Who "values" would this be? Never mind that her own administration in Alaska has violated every single one of these "values."

And as for her threats of a lawsuit:
Perhaps Barack Obama should sue Sarah Palin for defamation of character?

And for what "higher calling" has she abandoned the governorship? Being governor was too "low" a calling for it?

What a complete loser this woman is. Leading the pack in her "Iquitarod."

I knew that her quitting was only the beginning of her road to vengeance.
I think I've got Sarah figured out, at last:

She is like one of those 3rd tier contestants on American Idol- the ones that make it to Hollywood, then get booted.

Being really stupid, and really power hungry, Sarah (and her advisors- many from her high school days, as I understand it) don't know/understand much, except that to keep the loons rallied she has to be in the national spotlight every possible minute- regardless of how- in the next 3 years.

Just wondering

Nah, it doesn't work that way.

Sarah,I think you are a twit who won the lottery of life by being tapped as a running mate by a party COMPLETELY full of twits ...I do not think you are smart enough nor qualified to be the Mayor of that tiny town you lived in,much less VPOTUS or POTUS....I think you are poorly educated,speak poorly and are a complete airheaded ditz.

I also think you are a liar,vindictive and THE worst social climber/name dropper that I have EVER seen or heard about and you should be on the BOTTOM rung of the ladder if even THAT high....You are playing WAY beyond your abilities and you prove that on a daily basis.

SO SUE ME and disprove in court ANYTHING that I've said

The jurors would laugh them completely out of court if it even made it that far.
I was thinking my letter would be here by the time I got back from fishing but it isn't.

What do you folks think William F Buckley WAS???? Buckley was EXTREMELY well educated and more or less the absolute symbol of someone who was "Elite" - as elite as elite could be - the absolute cream of the intellectual crop - and there is no one in the GOP even remotely like him anymore - instead they have brainless goons such as Rush Limbaugh and empty-headed bimbos such as Sarah Palin who have become the face of the party.

And folks wonder whey the GOP has fallen into disarray?


Ken
Good for Liz Trotta, for not-so-subtly reminding the GOP where they came from and where they're supposed to be. Maybe this is the start of a concerted undercurrent within that's going to quietly but firmly cut the Base OFF ITSELF.

Maybe this is the beginning of the end of the horrible Contract On America > permanent Republican majority > Rush/Faux > Bush > Sarah Palin era....

Were you not aware of this...?
I'd marked that post to reply to, but you beat me to the punch. It bears spelling out, though, as I don't put much stock in them actually clicking through on a link, reading something that proves they were wrong, and coming back to apologize, promising never to repeat the same lie again.

I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. My mother had me when she was 18, and how family deals with issues and teenage children -- that shouldn't be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who's supporting me understands that's off limits.
So the claim that, "when Obama said his family was off limits people respected that but that didnt count for republicans children and family," is a flat out falsehood. It wasn't Obama's children he made that statement about, it was Sarah Palin's!

And what's worse, is that not only has Sarah Palin not made that correction clear to her supporters, she's actually fueled it, by snottily repeating it, calling her President, "He who must be obeyed". It's outrageous behavior for anyone, but it's beyond the pale for a state Governor.

She makes it impossible to have even a tiny shred of respect for her. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say.

Jill, this is interesting - RJ Eskow: Is Sarah Palin the First Post-Modern Politician?

also the Liz Trotta remarks are spot on, and how refreshing to know that it was broadcast on Faux. (Interesting to see if she keeps that correspondent job, too.)
