I suppose it’s only natural that people try to revise the part of their histories that doesn’t fit with their self view. So I guess Sarah Palin is no exception. But it’s important to be careful how far one goes with reinvention or revisionism, ’cause ya’ know — these tapes are going to be around in 2012.
The fancy duds just showed up? Really? Man, if there’s an RNC clothes fairy, maybe it is time to change political affiliations, because I could use a couple of new outfits.
And poor Sarah seems to be a little confused about whether she is or is not a feminist. First she told Katie Couric she was. The she told Brian Williams she wasn’t. Now she is again.
Governor Palin, do you really want an opportunity to sit down and talk with more women journalists (aside from the ones on Fox News)? Well, even though you just insulted me about where and how I do my writing, as well as my blogging attire, PunditMom is here (or here or here or here or here or here!) anytime you want the opportunity to sit down and talk in a way that will reach all sorts of women. But if you’re not even sure who you are, how can we be?
One thing is clear to me about Sarah Palin from listening to so many interviews with her — if you question her or back her into a corner, she’ll call you names and tell you your mother dresses you funny. Bloggers in their parents basements? Really, Sarah — you and I both know that you know better. If you have some serious criticism, please make it but the name calling really isn’t becoming.
Sarah, you think we don’t know you? Actually, we do. We know your type way better than you think we do. You just don’t like it that we’ve got your number.
So don’t hold your breath on POTUS 2012.

“Some sort of blogger” sitting in their underwear in their mom’s basement blogging about nothing. Oh no she didn’t! Oh, yes she did. Leave us bloggers be, Palin! I’m going to go change in real clothes now.

Sarah, who?
Oh, that one.
I know a few bloggers she should meet. She might want to spend some time with her tutor first though.

Don’t discourage her, Joanne. I’d love nothing more than a Palin candidacy in 2012. What better way to guarantee 8 or more years with the country in the hands of people who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY’RE DOING.
Ahem.

Clothes for eight people? Let’s see: Sarah, Todd, five kids. That’s seven, right? Or is she including Levi?

At least you guys get to say goodbye to her for a year or two. Up here we’re stuck with her. And she’s let us all know she fully intends to keep collecting per diem from her house in Wasilla, and taking her kids places on her dime. Oh, and that whole Troopergate thing? We just need to “get over it.”
I’m thinking of getting a t-shirt printed up that says “Don’t blame me; I voted for Halcro.” And wearing it every day for the next two years.

Scariest point: I think she really believes she’s telling the truth.

Sometimes I think poor Sarah Palin is a bit delusional. I mean, there is video/audio proof of her inability to answer questions posed and some of the bizarre things she’s said. (Who else in Alaska says that they can see Russia from their house?)
And I’m sorry, all of those RNC staffers who are now more than happy to tell the media how Sarah Palin REALLY behaved….they can’t all be wrong. There has to be a certain amount of truth to that stuff if it’s coming from more than 1 staffer.
Why does anyone care about her anymore? Why are we wasting all this time on her when there are so many more things that are more worth the media’s time?
Aren’t her 15 minutes of fame sooooo over?

I never thought of sitting in my underwear at the computer. To think I have good ole Sarah to credit for that insight. hile she sits in the interviewees chair with her foot permanently stuck in her mouth.
I say bring her on for 2012. Can you imagine that Republican primary? Priceless!
