I don't necessarily blame Palin or her team. But I do think this calls to the forefront the need to be careful with language and symbolism used. They could have known better, or they might not have. There is no way for me to personally know. I do think that, based on Palin's personality though, and I could be wrong, that she is of the "driven" type, blinded by a luminescent white light. These types, if they are not aware of what drives them, can be a danger. If she is Mal-i-boo Trace-y, then we should get on "target," and make sure that this "angel" falls, that the leprechaun and its gold fall hard and fast, because I do not think she is using her charms for the greater good. If she is, more power to her. See, I am just babbling incoherently, drunk in public. I have no idea what I am doing, and I make sure and not plead the fifth. See, I can engage in that crypto speak bull **** as well. If I can, so can others (and I have seen them do so), so I am not buying that they had no awareness, even if it was just subconscious malevolence. That subconscious malevolence would speak to their "true" nature, IMHO. Just saying. And flame away if you want. I know what I am doing. This crap is the real "above top secret." And it is crap, a useless web, meant to ensnare the unaware prey. And I don't like it. Or maybe it is necessary in order to keep the unawares or those focused only on themselves in quarantine. Who knows. And yes, I am now drunk, so take this for what you will. Just trying to put some spice in your coffee, deliberately playing joker to get those neurons firing.

Palin is an embarrassment to U.S politics, she's about as smart as a gerbil

I guess that's a matter of opinion. She seems like a big cry baby to me.

That's one of the things that really irks me about her.

She supports and surrounds herself with people that constantly wax patriotic over "losing freedom of speech", the oppression of a "PC nation" in a crazy liberal society, and supports Dr. Laura Schlessinger (Dr.Laura:don’t retreat…reload! ), who basically told a hurt caller in an interracial relationship that it isn't a problem that her White husbands friends and family call her a Nigger because Black people say the word(??)...

...but what happens when she gets hit with criticism and encounters potentially offensive language?

Water works.

"Fire Rahm Emanuel! He used the word "retard", and someone in my family has Downs Syndrome!"

"The media hates me because I am a woman! This is sexism!"

"Why'd you say that about my kiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddd??"

Seriously?

It's always the other person that's "PC sensitive" until you relate to the perceived insult.
Then the gloves come off in one swift hypocritical motion.

No "reloads" for Rahm, though.

Even though he was calling Liberals retards. Something she defended Rush Limbaugh for doing, because she said it was "satire".

She trashes the "lamestream" media, then gets a reality show and wanted to join FOX news.
I guarantee you, she's discussed a movie deal somewhere.

She was freaking everyone out over "death panels" in Obama's "socialized healthcare system", then went and got some of that healthcare for Tripp Palin Johnston.



Her shotgun is missing some shells.

To be honest, I can't see how people could idolize and support most of these obvious charlatans we keep in political office, but she just never seems good at hiding her own blatant hypocrisy.

If this is the behavior of "real Americans" I guess I am just not one of them.

I couldn't see this woman in the White House.
She need to stick with TV.

But, I see ominous dark things coming from this. She's too high, too fast and too reckless to end obscurely. She most certainly is not presidential material in any sense. Unless the United States becomes some severely unflattering caricature of what we once collectively thought it was.

This is a great statement.

I don't think Palin lacks IQ - - - I think her ego and believing her own hype is what is making her into a joke.

She is incredibly arrogant. Which seems to be a trait of the extreme Right.

PRIDE AND VANITY..... palin isnt stupid... she has a lot of skills.. B4 SHE QUIT alaska, she was a solid governor... which implies she may very well be a qualified POTUS. i think she is fundamentally as intelligent as any recent POTUS. she doesnt have the connections and inside knowlege, the good old boys do.. but she is capable of processing new information and DELEGATING,

she is often very NAIVE though, and i think the republican party and, on wednesday, her speech writers got the best of her.. they play on her PRIDE AND VANITY to get her to do stupid things.. kind of like mean sorority sisters hazing a pledge.

what i cant stand most about palin, is how much POTENTIAL she has, and how she keeps shooting herself in the foot.

I suggest you do some in-depth research on her governing tactics. I mean really dig deep. Look for ALL information you can find from those who worked with her - lived near her - etc etc etc etc.

my point is is she has ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS... she may piss people off.. she may take advantage of laws to her own advantage. but she is a capable player of THE GAME. she CAN get things done, which shows INTELLIGENCE. now intelligence can be downright destructive.. or save the day.

From all I've discovered - - - I don't doubt she has Intelligence. But intelligence has to be applied.

She is tenacious - - - to a fault. I find her arrogant without justification. She buys into her own hype.

Like I stated - she is the Soccer Mom Ayn Rand. Completely self centered and will squash or toss aside anyone that doesn't help her reach her goal.

She is roll playing without real qualifications.
