Look, I don't indulge in these pick on Palin for everything threads, except to read them for their obvious entertainment value, but to argue that Palin parading across the country portraying herself as being some sort of everywoman fighting for working folks while at the same time profiting off of their anger and alienation is about as hypocritical as one can get.

But I give you props for admitting as much.

So, in the future you won't be so quick to object to folks pointing out Palin's hypocrisy, right?

You know, pot meet kettle, mirrors, glass houses, etceteras.





Agreed
Well I see Palins hypocrisy I just followed up and supported the point that it is different then Pelosi who is still on the taxpayer's dime.

Diva would fit. Prima donna seems a bit more accurate. Either way, she's practicing the elitism she rallies against. Hypocrite.

Sarah: Well, it's annoying!
Todd: Alright ... what else?
Sarah: No "gotcha" questions! Prescreed questions only! Boy I sure learned that lesson!
Sarah: Oh! And they need to keep track of how many times the camera clicks!

Considering she has liberals digging in the trash to find dirt on her, I don't blame her. Then again, we know it wouldn't matter what she did, you simply do not like her and will "dig up" anything you can to validate that dislike.

What ego? What nerve? What arrogance! What elitism! What a SOW!


....does the whole airport, the whole city have to shut off their cellphones because Sarah is in town???




"""But it was how some details of Palin"s contract with the Cal State Stanislaus Foundation came to light that had Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, outraged Tuesday. A pair of Cal State Stanislaus students said they recovered from a Dumpster parts of the very contract that Yee had sought in a public records request, along with bags of other shredded documents.

"When we have individuals that are deceiving people and obfuscating, we are in deep trouble.

My, my what an elitist Pig-at-the-Trough.....my name for PigPalin is accurate, as is "DivaDope".


And her supporters used TAXES to pay for her visit...what "fiscally responsible" jerks she has as followers !!!
