Palin Proves She Wasn’t Meant to Lead
Now that her fifteen minutes of fame are up, Sarah Palin continues her war on the media. Now, a recent quote in one of her hometown newspapers has her lashing out at the “bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie.” Obviously, the blogging community is up in arms about this, because frankly the words that I’m writing (and I am a bit bored) are in the veil of anonymity not lies (I guess two out of three truths isn’t bad considering the source), express opinions and feelings about something more than Sarah Palin. These views and opinions – like so many of my peers – are my feelings on why Sarah Palin isn’t qualified to be Vice-President of the United States of America. My ammunition for many of my blog articles about Sarah Palin are the very words that she is quoted as using.
Since losing the election, Sarah Palin has apparently be slammed on the interview circuit and much what they’re looking for is dirt. With everything flying around about her daughter, her son’s birth, and what comes next it’s no wonder that she’s a bit overwhelmed. The following quote, from Esquire’s upcoming magazine sums up her feelings for some of the people writing about her.
“Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me….I’ll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig’s real mom,” she said, in an interview to be published in Esquire’s March issue. “And I said, Come on, are you kidding me? We’re gonna answer this? Do you not believe me or my doctor? And they said, No, it’s been quite cryptic the way that my son’s birth has been discussed. And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism.”
What’s most enjoyable is that’s the nugget of “news” that she holds onto. Someone questioned the paternity of one of her children and it got out of hand – but given all the other lies and deception that exist in politics is it really that far outside the realm of possibility that she wasn’t being truthful to protect her daughter? Any doubt? I have a bridge to nowhere you might be interested in buying.
The best part of the whole thing? Now the Anchorage Daily News’ editor is coming out to say that the questions were solely to help correct some of the conspiracy theories surround Sarah Palin. After talking with teh Governor’s office the newspaper left the story unpublished because of a lack of cooperation from the Palin family. The editor goes on to say in the newspaper and in the paper’s own blog that:
“I don’t believe we have ever published in the newspaper a story, a letter, a column or anything alleging a coverup surrounding your maternity. In fact, my integrity and the integrity of the newspaper have been repeatedly attacked in national forums for our complicity in the ‘coverup.”
Later, he added: “…So I don’t understand the behavior of the governor’s press office. Did the governor not share my email with the press staff? Did the press staff deliberately ignore what I said in order to have a longer list of press ‘outrages’? Or are they just sloppy with details? I don’t know.”
Sarah Palin’s 15 minutes are up – lets move on already. This woman has shown over and over again that she was an unsuitable candidate for any national office and incapable of forming a cohesive and articulate thought.
