1. who...?

:rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

4. mike, you gotta go read her email

it's hilarious.

seriously

:hi:

[Blue_In_AK]

5. Seriously.

I wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't so over-the-top.

[NMDemDist2]

2. OMG, she types just like she talks!!?!!!! wow.

K&N just for the fun of reading that silly crap, very entertaining

:hi:

[shadowknows69]

33. She actually composes a better letter than I thought she would

I tend to write like I talk but it is usually for entertainment purposes.

[greyl]

3. Pat Dougherty whooped her good. nt

[cliffordu]

6. K&R for the sheer spectacle of it.

Fuck me I love that woman.

[Blue_In_AK]

8. She's a laugh riot.

[roguevalley]

54. hats off to the Daily News. They are a great paper. I love this,

Blue. She really sounds like a hickoidal ass.

[bobd0]

7. K&R I can't stand Palin but this could get to be fun to watch

And the part about her connection with Sherry Johnston's activities -- she must have spent time with her because the Secret Service said she did so what's Palin doin' palin' around with drug dealers?

[Blue_In_AK]

9. In the letter of recommendation she wrote for Levi

she said she had known him AND HIS FAMILY for many years. She really can't deny the connection.

[JeffR]

10. Beautiful.

And nice to see an editor who writes so well. A surprising number of them don't, even some great editors.

[Z_I_Peevey]

25. Yes, he's a very smart cookie.

I do hope Palin writes back.

[Brucie Kibbutz]

11. It is STILL all about Sarah.

This is great! Her paranoia is driving her fucking mad! She'll be in a padded cell before it's all over. :crazy:

[roguevalley]

55. she's trying for a do over.

[TahitiNut]

12. His reply to her is FAR, FAR too lengthy ...

... for her attention span and reading comprehension. :rofl:

[Brucie Kibbutz]

13. For her to remain interested

every other word would have to be "Sarah".

[eppur_se_muova]

59. LOL! I'm thinking of a certain "Far Side" cartoon ...

[misanthrope]

14. Who the hell begins correspondence with...

...a salutation ending with an exclamation point?

[EOTE]

35. Dear misanthrope!

What's it to ya?!?

[shireen]

15. that Sarah, an endless source of entertainment. nt

[Hekate]

16. She speaks in such a word-salad that I want to ask for vinaigrette....

http://community.adn.com/adn/node/136534
"I would love for names to be on the blog entries so that people are held accountable when they lie. Now if they're just blogging information or something perhaps to get some curiosity up or to make a point, that's all legit, that's fine. But when people lie and get to hide behind some anonymous name on a blog and then from there, perhaps, that comment, that point made becomes a hard news source, and there's that lack of accountability because of that, it gets very frustrating for the subject matter. And you know, of course, I speak from personal experience being the subject matter when people have lied on those blogs."

Jebus she's scary when she does that.

OTOH... if this keeps up maybe we won't have Sarah to kick around any more on the national scene, which would be a tremendous relief.

Good luck to you Alaskans, though.

Hekate

[saltpoint]

17. Before she takes on journalists, I suggest she become one.

O wait.

[OneBlueSky]

18. can't lose it if you never had it . . . n/t

[Obamanaut]

19. I really would enjoy a debate between Sarah and almost anyone

before she finally goes away - not expecting anything of substance there, just entertainment also too.

[trotsky]

20. Please, dear Koresh, let this woman be the nominee in 2012. n/t

[HughBeaumont]

21. "IS losing it?"

Did she really say "say it ain't so" in her e-mail? RLY?

GOD PLEASE let her be the Republican nominee in 2012. PLEASE. It will be a larger landslide than Reagan/Mondale . . . except our side will win this time.

[tabbycat31]

37. I think she said "say it ain't so" in the debate too

I guess she uses her catchphrases more than once.

[LeftyMom]

52. Say it aint so, Joe!

I watched it with friends and we just lol'd when she said that in her Fargo-esque accent.

[noiretextatique]

48. its was actually: "say it aint so"

sarah doesn't need that elistist apostrophe :rofl:

[peacefreak]

22. She's a gift that keeps on giving.

When does she actually have time to govern? It is all about her, you betcha!

[RB TexLa]

23. Usually you have to wait utill trash is drunk and going crazy on a 7-11 parking lot for such a show.

:rofl:

[Vickers]

24. Note to Sarah: Jim Beam and late-night emails do not mix.

Lay off the sauce, GOPzilla!

:spank:

[lame54]

26. what did she have to begin with?

[grace0418]

27. HI-FREAKING-LARIOUS!

Whooooo-dog, that's funny. She keeps engaging people who are smarter and more eloquent than she in debate, and she keeps losing. I realize it's almost impossible to find someone dumber and less eloquent than she, but when is she going to learn to stop digging herself into a deeper hole?

[WI_DEM]

28. She can't accept that her 15-minutes are up.

[shadowknows69]

34. That's it totally, she'll keep manufacturing "attacks against her"

to keep herself in the news. Well in Alaska anyway. I hope the MSM has better things to do. Wait what am I saying? We're probably stuck with her.

[roguevalley]

56. I think she also can't understand why people don't think she's

smart and all, doncha know?

[malaise]

29. Keep talking Grifter

You used a fork to destroy yourself during the campaign, but this front end loader size tractor is way more self-destructive. Hilarious. :rofl:

[JBoy]

30. Palin's email may just as well have been "Why do you hate Alaska?"

That was some entertaining reading!

Funny how the nightmare that was Palin seems so silly in the light of day.

[HillWilliam]

31. Losing it? Did she ever have any of it to start with?

What a ninny. The woman is a total wackadoo and a ninny to boot.

[spanone]

32. i don't think she ever 'had it'

[Marr]

36. She'll never read the response. Her letter was just more of that

very old "blame intellectuals" public game that American conservatives have been playing for long. By "intellectuals", I mean people who have at least a passing interest in facts and reality and can read. Sad how diminished that word has become.

[helderheid]

38. That was GREAT.

[ErinBerin84]

39. she's not very um, self aware.

http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2009/01/13/palin/index.html?source=rss&aim=/politics/war_room

"You have to let it go. Even hard news sources, credible news sources — the comment about, you can see Russia from Alaska. You can! You can see Russia from Alaska. Something like that -- a factual statement that was taken out of context and mocked -- what you have to do is let that go."


Ok, does she REALLY think that THAT is the reason people mocked the sentiment that proximity to Russia qualified as foreign policy credentials? WTF. And if she wants people to "move on", maybe she can start by example.

[ovidsen]

40. Paranoid and delusional.

Governor Palin may be technically literate. She knows her alphabet and can string a simple sentence together. But it's clear that neither she nor those closest to her (family, friends and advisors) actually READ.

Blue, your links provide ample evidence of this. Here's another, complete with U-Tube links. Palin thinks the "liberal media" have been giving Caroline Kennedy the softball treatment (compared to how they covered her) reporting on her bid to succeed Secretary of State designate Hillary Clinton as one of New York State's two Senators. From the New York Times:

In a League of Her Own, Palin Swings Away at Couric, Fey and Kennedy - By CLYDE HABERMAN - Published: January 12, 2009

Excerpt:

That Ms. Palin was unaware of the Kennedy coverage makes one wonder how she gets her information. Articles about Ms. Kennedy’s stumbles had circulated for a week before the Ziegler interview. What newspapers and magazines does she read? Hold on. Isn’t that what Katie Couric asked in her CBS interview with Ms. Palin during the campaign? It was a softball question, hardly a gotcha moment. But the governor turned this, too, into a class issue. “To me,” she said, “the question was more along the lines of, ‘Do you read? What do you guys do up there?’”

Well, what DOES she do up there?

[glinda]

42. She might do amphetamines since she is so "peppy". Say it ain't so Sara! LOL!

[KamaAina]

45. But where in the world would she get them?

:shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

43. Oh, I'm so glad you asked.

Another really wonderful blog entry by not-so-anonymous Andrew Halcro, who apparently has been speaking with the two women who just quit Sarah's administration.

A Day in the Life http://www.andrewhalcro.com/a_day_in_the_life

(Author's Note: Any resemblance to actual real life public figures is either purely coincidental or the result of hours of interviews.)

1/12/09 - With one quick pull, the faux Burberry scarf comes unwrapped from around the governor's neck as she strolls into the office, the clock reads 10:00am. Seems earlier than normal she says to herself.

While the governor huddles in her office with her assistants cackling and complaining about the prior days media coverage and Dan Fagan in general, the governor's husband makes a bee line to the inner office to talk to a staff member.

I want the windows on the Suburban tinted really dark; we need privacy when we drive into town, the first spouse says.

But the staff member knows that the request for darker tinted windows isn't because of a desire for privacy, it's because over the last few months complaints have been filed about the governor's apparent disregard of posted speed limits on the Glenn Highway.

<snip>

Much more and it's all good. :)

[malaise]

50. Is the governor's husband paid?

How does he have so much say in the running of her office?

How would tinted windows of the Suburban hide the license plate?

[roguevalley]

57. I can't believe that Dan Fagan, our limbaugh, can write stuff I agree with

:-D

[Blue_In_AK]

58. Sarah has created "strange bedfellows," for sure.

I'm already kind of missing Lyda. :rofl:

[roguevalley]

60. Oh lord. Wouldn't that be great? Or Ramona Barnes. :)

[Blue_In_AK]

61. Oh, Ramona.

Old helmet-head herself.

You know, looking back, we sure have had our share of "interesting" politicians, haven't we?

[roguevalley]

68. We do. :-D Remember how she kept a jar on the podium with her

where she kept everyone's private parts? I am still laughing at that. I remember when she visited the school where I worked to visit her grandsons. What an imposing dame she was.

[Ichingcarpenter]

41. I'm reminded of a high school cheerleader who screwed

the football team and then denies it on facebook.

I love the melodrama though.

[progressoid]

44. She's still haaawt.

:eyes:

[LeftishBrit]

46. Did she ever have it?

[firedupdem]

47. Wow....I would have expected a better letter from a high schooler.

The editor makes her sound like a fucking idiot. He destroys each and every one of her nonsense claims.

[lebkuchen]

49. As Tina said,

Sarah can "suck it."

Obama should take on the same attitude as Tina inre: to the RW whackos. On the other hand, if he continues to pursue the appointments of K-street lobbyists and military leaders who would undermine democracy, then Obama can suck it, too, as far as my donations go.

[lpbk2713]

51. How could Sarah Failin' and Krazy Katie Harris live at opposite ends of the country ...

... and have so much in common. They're both certifiable batshit loonies.

I just can't figure it out. :crazy:

[Dukkha]

53. I imagine she's eating her poo by now

locked in her office with jars of urine and a velvet dress delivering incoherent speeches in the mirror about community organizers and terrorists, wondering why Israel hasn't called her for advice.

[Soylent Brice]

62. just finished reading, and i've decided there has

never been a bigger dumbass in politics. ever.

a bold statement, i know - with chimpenfurher and all - but i have to stick to my guns on this one.

[Canuckistanian]

63. Sarah never HAD it to begin with

She's never had an original idea or a coherent statement on her lips.

[gristy]

64. Childish and not particularly bright. That's my take.

[stevedeshazer]

65. Wow. I caught this one late, but i'm glad I did.

The ADN editor was great.

[Wednesdays]

66. Those 15 minutes...those 15 minutes...

Are they FINALLY up yet?

[BrklynLiberal]

67. She never had it.

[uppityperson]

69. "Governor, I would encourage you to go on. " Best part of the reply.

She writes as poorly as she speaks. Yes, Sarah, please, go on. We want to read more and more and more about you. Too funny and thanks for keeping an eye on her.
