Awwww - Sarah Palin is feeling beaten up

[RamboLiberal]

A couple of weeks before the Alaska legislature began this year's session, a bipartisan group of state senators on a retreat a few hours from here invited Gov. Sarah Palin to join them. Accompanied by a retinue of advisers, she took a seat at one end of a conference table and listened passively as Gary Stevens, the president of the Alaska Senate, a former college history professor and a low-key Republican with a reputation for congeniality, expressed delight at her presence.

-----

Palin looked around the room and paused, according to several senators present. "I feel like you guys are always trying to put me on the spot," she said finally, as the room became silent.

Gone was the self-assurance that Alaska had come to know in its young Republican governor, well before her life and career were transformed by Sen. John McCain's selection of her as his vice presidential running mate. "She looked ill at ease, more defensive than we've been accustomed to seeing her," said one legislator who was there and spoke on the condition of anonymity because he said he might need to work with Palin.

A number of factors seem to have contributed to the bumpy homecoming: a residual anger among Democrats for the attack-dog role Palin assumed in the McCain campaign, lingering resentment from Republicans for the part she may have played in McCain's defeat, and a suspicion crossing party lines that the concerns of Alaska, at a time of economic crisis, will now be secondary to her future in national politics.

-----

The result of all this scrutiny and second-guessing, says one Republican ally, is that "the governor has been feeling beaten up."

1. It's typical for stupid people to feel like they're always being put on the spot...

From their stupid perspective, it's kinda true.

But it's a statement about *them*, not about their interlocutor.

"How are you?"

"Wait! What does that mean?"

"Sigh. No, it's not a trick question, idiot."

2. She has no one to blame but herself.

Zero sympathy here.............

3. I hear a symphony ....

One could gather a number of audio clips of people whining, and tuned properly, turn that into a delightful musical dirge celebrating Palin's 'success' ....

4. She's tarnished. Her own state saw her atrocious campaign behavior, saw her

trashy family on display, realized she was quite stupid--they might be polite, but they'll never see her the same way again, and she knows it.

5. So now she knows how the animals she shoots from a airplane must feel

I can only hope her pain persists. She's certainly earned it.

7. Many of us hoped she would go away after the election. SHE has chosen to

keep seeking the spotlight. Why should we care if it hasn't worked out the way she hoped?
That's life. Too fuckin' bad.

How about shutting up and going away for a while? That would be a win-win for all of us.
Maybe she could actually work on fixing her own state's problems. Ya think? :eyes:

8. Poor Sarah!!!

She sticks her hand into the lion's cage, then complains because the lion bit her arm off.

9. This was great

I just had an email argument with a conservative friend over Palin, and how she "had been Dan Quayle'ed" as if both Dan and Sarah's problems weren't of their own making but instead were only because the press were hostile towards them. I told him that most of the press had bent over backwards for her, but her inexperience, gleeful ignorance, and ego were too much even for them to hide. I sent this to him.

I also told him that if you've killed several people, you're a mass murderer. People don't say you've been Charlie Manson'ed or Ted Bundy'ed by the press or public, and people who act like Palin caused their own problems; they weren't thrust upon them.

10. This is a person whose dream was to be a TV sportscaster

She ended up in charge of a state because she wanted to be a TV sportscaster. She ended up running for vice president of the United States BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO BE A TV SPORTSCASTER.

Sarah Palin is nothing more than naked selfishness personified. The complete and utter disregard for any decency in her campaign strategy proves it, and she obviously does not care about anything other than getting what she wants. She deserves to feel beaten up, because she represents the worst characteristics in the human condition. She should never be allowed in any position of responsibility or authority again.

11. she wants to rule the boys club, but constantly plays the victim

the very tactic she accused Hillary of

[Orsino]

12. Poor little governor.

So the GOP's pin-up girl feels she isn't being treated with respect. Again.

Hasn't she gotten the message that she was a disposable asset, and is no longer needed? Can't Katherine Harris sit down with her to explain the situation?
