Palin: I Wish I Spoke With More Reporters
ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: The conservative magazine Human Events has an interesting interview with Gov. Sarah Palin — one that has particular resonance with some suggesting that Caroline Kennedy is being “Palin-ized” by her handlers.
Palin, R-Alaska, tells Human Events’ John Gizzi that the “biggest mistake” she made was not granting more interviews earlier in her vice-presidential candidacy — and she blames the McCain team’s handlers for holding her back.
“The biggest mistake made was that I could have called more shots on this: the opportunities that were not seized to speak to more Americans via media. I was not allowed to do very many interviews, and the interviews that I did were not necessarily those I would have chosen. But I was so thankful to have the opportunity to run with John McCain that I was not going to argue with the strategy decisions that some of his people were making regarding the media contacts,” Palin said.
“But if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters because that’s how you get your message out to the electorate.”
She continues: “I was in a campaign in which I did not know the people individually running the campaign. So I had to put my life, my career, my family, and my reputation in their hands. That’s kind of a scary thing to do when you don’t know the people you are working with.
“Now I have all the faith in the world in Sen. McCain and his family. But some of the folks around him I did not know, and so it was a kind of a risky thing for me to put my faith in the decisions they were making on my behalf.”
On Sunday, Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y., asserted that Caroline Kennedy’s handlers have “basically Sarah Palin-ized her, if I could coin a phrase.”
“They’re answering questions that you have to submit in writing. She’s not talking to reporters as she makes this grand tour. They’re, kind of, building a mystique and an industry around her, when we need somebody to fight,” Ackerman said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
After an initial appearance before reporters in Syracuse where she refused to answer any questions, Kennedy has answered off-the-cuff questions at a few informal media availabilities.
But she hasn’t granted any formal interviews. The only glimpse of her policy positions have come in response to written questions, from The New York Times and Politico.
And Monday we learned that she won’t be filling out the financial disclosure forms that are standard for Senate candidates — unless, of course, she’s appointed to the post first.

She needs to just stay in Alaska and keep her thoughts to herself. She does NOT have the knowledge to be in Politics, she proved that herself.

Yeah, maybe an interviewer would have asked her why she thinks Americans should be willing to die for a racist Israeli state that refuses to give up a little bit of land for peace.

She said she has to put her family on the hands of people running the campaign and it was a scary thing to do!!
Does this not show that Palin like many of us think it is almost impossible to combine family life and career together!!!!!

Sarah Palin is a wonderful person a mother. I don’t understand why people have to put her down. And as for Israel, they are God’s chosen people. I don’t know why people have a problem wth that.

Wow…She says “If I had been in charge” things would be different. What an ego! She was running as V.P. and Mc Cain was in charge, a fact which she often forgot on the campaign trail. She often put her name first and many times there were no signs with Mc Cain’s name on it…just ones with Palin. She said she did not know the people….well, obviously, they did not know her either. For someone who had to put her family on hold…she certainly used them in the campaign making her little girl say “vote for my mom.” If that was not a gimmick, what is? No one could me me do that and you never saw the Obama kids on the trail…they were in school with their grandma. She was grandstanding her family and I think she would use anything to get elected. Now, she will write a book stating her greatness and everyone elses weakness and make a lot of money. By the way, I hear the people of Alaska are not too happy with her as she has been neglecting her duties with her other commitments.

yes she has enough to handle already–and what a poor job she has done—imagine how little time she would have devoted to her family or the VP JOB–all that extra time she would have devoted to wardrobe prep and skeet shooting–yikes –stay in AK baby…
Posted by: tom | December 23, 2008, 11:49 am 11:49 am
memoree–Palin was completely unprepared to run for VP; every interview she gave and every statement that she made was less informed and intelligent then the last. If anyone brought Palin down it was Palin herself. Even John McCain begin distancing himself from her and won’t support her if she runs again in the next election. Even her constituents in Alaska are less than happy with her, being a runner up ex beauty queen in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant will only get you so far.

Dear Memoree: S. Palin is not the mother of the year. No way would I parade my pregnant/unmarried daughter all through the country. I would consider her feelings and say No to that. Nor would I drag my new baby all over as he is a special needs child and with all that campaigning….just how much time could she give this child? If her family was so important she would have put them first…she did not….she put herself and her ambition first. Even after the campaign she left them to do speaking engagements on Greta and anyone else who would have her. One can be a good mother and handle a job but V.P. is a 24/7 job.

Don’t think Sarah Palin should appeased to the stupid media. They are a vindictive bunch who smeared her when they didn’t get access liked they wanted. And of course, the liberals were so envious and threaten by Palin and they’re more than happy to pitch in. They’re so ignorant and ill informed that their comments speak for itself.
They probably think katie couric is a great journalist. T

It wasn’t just the Katy Couric interview that did her Palin in; it was every interview.Palin is lucky she wasn”t interviewed by “60 Minutes” or end up being grilled by Keith Obermann on MSNBC!
Her name has been in the media enough; between her taking the blame for the burning of her church and her daughters boyfriends mother being arrested for drugs Palin should try to stay out of the limelight and take care of her state and her family.

This has to be the biggest collection of ignoramus trailer trash posting I have seen in a LONG time!! Sarah Palin, even with a couple of “mis-cues” made your “sun-tanned messiah” look like a dumb-a__ Chicago street thug! By the way, when is your halo’d hero going to have the guts to show his REAL birth certificate, proving he was born in the U.S., or a territory? He says his grandmother is a complete liar, but his history says otherwise. You don’t want to know the truth now, but you don’t care about the Constitution or any of the historical ramblings of founding fathers either. Like the majority of liberals, they wipe their tail with the Bill of Rights! I anxiously await the inauguration, so I can see “how you pick up a turd from the clean end”. LOL

Sanyaman–Obama doesn’t have to prove anything the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. If you’re comparing his education to Palins you have really been palling around with the wrong crowd. Posters aren’t trailer trash because they don’t believe in Sarah Palin and know that she would have been a disaster as a VP.

It’s very funny that groups like NOW and Human Rights Campaign etc… endorsed Obama over Hillary and look at them now, scratching their heads and wondering what happened to the wonderful guy they were very publicly endorsing. So, Obama’s turned his back on women, he’s turned his back on gays, who’s next. That’s what you get for endorsing a guy with no resume, no serious stances, and no loyalty. But hey, he’s flashy, young, black, and cool. He’s made history, what else do we need.

PEBO’s real education was in a dysfunctional family and a search for an identity, Chicago politics of cesspool thuggery and palm-greasing, Alinsky community organizing techniques, a lifelong interest in radical authors, his relationships – pastor…and his long run for president!

If a comment does not “fit in” with your articles point( and of course it must agree with you) It is censored or even taken out completely. This is sad that ABC news must do this, because they are trying to be an unbiased and valid news source…….well I have news for you guys ABC, you are just as bad as FOX news- which is the absolute worst news source known to humankind. I will not come to your low-end news source unless it is to write an article like this.

This woman is nuts. She supposedly has a college education. . . what a joke. She is totally uninformed and without a clue. Thank God she did not get elected along with Daddy-o McCain. What did she study in college . . . obviously NOT how to read and do research. Sure, that’s right Ms. Palin, you should have had more chances to show your ineptness.

Many interviews Sarah Palin gave went very well (a pity that those interviews not get much attention in the media) ; and also the debate with Biden went very well.
Only some parts(!!) of the Couric interview went not well.
But those part got a lot of attention in the main stream media.
The people who like to bash and judge Sarah Palin only point to that interview (some parts of it).
And not forget ; in that interview there was a lot of cut and paste done by the media.
You can not judge somebody only on some parts of a interview; and still that is what some people (wrongly) do because they don’t agree with Palin’s politics.
It is a pity that Sarah Palin never was allowed to do more interviews during the election ; the McCain staffers made many mistakes during the election.

“Any of the chants of ‘Sarah’ or anything that maybe would look like maybe anything was Sarah-centric, is, on my part, I know that it is not me personally, that the cheers were for,” she said. “It’s for, ‘Cool, we’ve got a woman on the ticket, we’ve got this manifestation of progress and change in America.’… But not me, personally, were those cheers for, but it was just for the representation of a woman on the ticket, a mom, somebody who loves this country so much, somebody very, very committed to policies that, I believe, will progress this country in the right direction. I think that’s what that was all about.”

Raul: Neither am I liberal or do I hate Sarah Palin. If nothing else, my Honey Lamb has the ability to put a smile on my face like no other politicin can!
Experience is just one factor that is important. Inelligence and the ability to reason/evaluate rationally are even more important. Also, comprehension and the ablity to communicate effectively ranks very high on that scale too. Mrs. Kennedy is without a doubt, intelligent, rational, comprehends, and communicates quite well. Her experience hails from her philanthropic work. Also, she has a KILLER network on ALL levels. The same cannot be said for Hot Momma!
Charlie: I am proud to say that I have seen all–if not most of Sarah Palin’s interviews. I would not have such an opinion based upon the Couric fiasco. Make no maistake…that’s what that was!!! Truth be told, it was Governor Palin’s HORRIFIC performance with the “fake” Sarkozy phone call, that sold me (with 100%) that this woman has no clue! As far as her politics, I honestly don’t believe she knows “why” she believes what she spews. It was the “winning ticket!”
In her defense… there is nothing wrong with pageant money. I think she is rather a smart cookie to use what she has to get what she wants. …and that’s just it,…SweetCheeks, is VERY savvy, VERY aggressive, and VERY ambitious to a fault! She has qualities of which are admirable BUT they just dont fit with a government/service role. I bet she would be “hell on wheels” in a corporate board room.
EXCEPT…
Her true fault is that she is only willing to learn enough to compete and win. She just does not take a breath to intelligently reach her own conclusions or beliefs rationally.
but, given that…
I would NEVER want to meet BabyDoll in a dark alley. If I was fortunate enough to came out of it, I would KNOW that she was NOT an easy mark!

When McCain won the primaries, they needed a gimick, so they found this unknown woman from Alaska. . . .and it worked. . . . for a couple of weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I like Sarah Palin, but I like her in Alaska where she’s a good fit. She was a fish out of water in the presidential campaign. If they had nominated Romney, they could have played it straight with a more appropriate running mate and had a better chance of winning.
Posted by: Present | December 23, 2008, 5:25 pm 5:25 pm
Sarah would have done much better if the interviewers that she did speak to had given her a fair fighting chance. They asked her questions that they would never ask Barack Obama, Joe Biden, or Hillary Clinton! They went out of their way to make her look stupid and the late night comedians and Tina Fey made the situation worse! The media was out to bring Sarah Palin down from the moment that John McCain announced her as his running mate. They jumped on her like a pack of wolves attacking a calf and they were relentless! They still haven’t given up yet! They still attack her every move! Their plan worked for the election, too. Many people couldn’t distinguish between the real Sarah Palin and the idiot that the interviewers and the late night comedians and Tina Fey portrayed her to be and they didn’t try.

FS – Most politicians and actors are Narcissistic by nature, but this woman is a poster girl: Grandiose sense of self importance, preoccupied with beauty and power, believes she is “special” and on God’s mission, requires excessive admiration, expects compliance with her sense of entitlement, thinks others are envious or plotting against her. Every time she tries to blame failure on someone else, every time she has another unintelligible interview, her mask slips. By 2012 Palin supporters will be whittled down to rabid Evangelicals the lower end of the IQ Bell curve.
Posted by: CaliRules | December 23, 2008, 5:54 pm 5:54 pm
carlyonsue: I would agree with you to a point-DARN! I HAVE TO GET A NEW KEYBOARD!!!!–I think the press was fair though. Governor Palin gave the press an opening once the Charlie Gibson interview aired. That was a fair interview and it did not go well at all. Anyway, from that interview, the press smelled “blood in the water” and they just circled more. Her handlers should have been astute enough to see the results of the Gibson interview and prepare her properly for her next rounds. But….
One of the few things I believe (that was leaked) is that Governor Palin was/is not the most cooperative of students. “It is everybody else’s fault and I am without blame!” Ths is her attitude even now.
Anyway, her handlers should have stopped the Couric interview midway! Its been done before. The news of suddenly terminatinting an interview would have had far much less a damaging effect than what was aired. But, isn’t what I’m suggesting a strategy? A further attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the electorate?
The Couric interview only underlined how ill-informed, woefully unprepared Governor Palin is/was on ALL levels. She can’t even handle the press properly! Once Tina Fey got a hold of it–she (Govenor Palin)was done. Now, why I say that Governor Palin is an uncooperative student and quite dilusional. She thought she did a GREAT job on the interviews! Also, she shows a hint that she can backstab. Even the MOST neophyte of the neophytes know that when you are about to receive an international call from an international dignitary that there are certain procedures to follow! The basic one is notifying your running mate (partner) about such an event. She and her staff did not. Very telling…
No matter how you want to spin it, the undoing of Sarah Palin was Sarah Palin!

Sarah came across as a fine-looking politician far too willing to appeal to those who love fear and harshness. We would be morons to elect her to the Presidential level. However, voting like morons seems to have been the trend for a few years. This year we did better. We showed some intelligence.

One of my favorite Palin interviews was with Fox’s Carl Cameron in which he gave her a “do-over” opportunity to answer some of the Couric questions that had stumped her previously. After having had the chance to think up an answer to the Supreme Court decision question, Palin replied, “A recent one, Kennedy vs. Lousiana where the Supreme Court will tell a state that they can’t impose the death penalty even on the HEE-nee-us (sic) crimes…” Even with a prepared answer she couldn’t help showing her ignorance of the language.
Oh, by the way, Couric asked Joe Biden the same question and he had no problem coming up with a relevant (and correctly pronounced) answer the first time around.

If only the press would have given her more interviews, so that she could have made us all believe that electing a black man that palled aroud with terrorists was the wrong thing to do. Even that liberal turkey killer, stuck that turkey in that head removing machine to make her look bad!

Sarah Palin will never be president, she is unintelligent, and she has absolutely no class what so ever, she can and won’t ever measure up to the shoes she is hoping to fill.
She and her family: trash

I think S. Palin is bright,V,P, or Pres. material…NO. Even Mc Cain won’t endorse her. Maybe because she stabbed him in the back just like Joe the Plumber. No one would know their names if Mc Cain hadn’t brought them into the limelight. Hopefully, this will fade soon.

Palin is definitely ancient history now with her 10 seconds of fame behind us( I have heard the women libbers loud and clear say “Goodbye Palin and Please Do Not Set-Back Women’s Movements Anymore!!” Now Palin joins the other recent Idaho and Alaska losers: the Minneapolis mens’ room pervert and the Alaska senile(maybe that should be penile?) politician racking up the contractor freebie goodies under-the-table..Palin can make friends with “W” as he soon leaves the White House for the unknown–maybe they can have a “Dipped” pretzel together, but wait, they don’t know CPR!! Oh, well they’ll be in good company with her cutesy? ramblings and his Western Union drawl–dot-to-dot-da—dot-to-dot-da..rayo

I am annoyed with comparison of Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y. Caroline Kennedy who doesn’t have at all practical experience of political and economic
with Sarah Palin who has plenty of proven records to reform to cut taxes and budget of Gov. as well as to increase revenue and jobs for residents in USA. Additionallly, Sarah created wealthes as increased pipe line of gas and energy independence, “Drill baby Drill” which American seriously needs for now. Palin’s job as a Gov.has been approved upto 80% by the residents in AK. Caroline Kennedy has nothing done proven record of political & economic, but family back grounds, money from the late parents & brother, and some volunteer. Also Caroline rejected to open her financial info and criminal record. Anybody tell me what is her view about NY Gov Paterson will raise many kinds of taxes as well as cut the budget and employees in NY.

Can you imagine if someone had asked Obama to discuss Biden’s voting record. Or if he had been asked to list supreme court decisions he disagreed with. I’m sorry, I don’t agree with all Palin stands for, but if you’re not looking for those type of questions they would absolutely give you pause… and that is all it takes in a media age to look un-informed… They where actually fair questions (not dissing Couric), just that they were only asked to 1 of the 4 politicans.

Carlyonsue wrote “Many people couldn’t distinguish between the real Sarah Palin and the idiot that the interviewers and the late night comedians and Tina Fey portrayed her to be and they didn’t try.”
Many of the SNL scripts were taken almost verbatim from Sarah Palin’s own lips. If you feel she was portrayed as an idiot, it only illustrates the real Sarah’s poor communication skills.
One of the following paragraphs is from Sarah Palin and the other is from Tina Fey. Hard to tell the difference, huh.
But ultimately what the bailout does is, help those that are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy to help,uh, it’s gotta be all about job creation, too.

Where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy.

Pat Napolitano Marietta, Ga: How did Sarah Palin stab John McCain in the back? She worked tirelessly for two months to get him elected! She spent 12 – 18 hours everyday either on the road or in the air traveling to rallies and fund raisers for him. Most days she was in three or four states. The only time that she wasn’t campaigning was when she slept. She put the election of John McCain before everything else including her own family. Exactly how is that stabbing him in the back? Actually he is the one who stabbed her in the back when he refused to support her in the 2012 elections! That is the thanks that she gets for working so hard for him!

I miss Sarah Palin. She was the most interesting part of the 2008 campaign. What a great character she is, and a true American with conservative values. Yes, she should have been on the Today show every morning just like O-blame-a, telling you and me what she thought of every little thing going on, everyday, every morning. But, I guess she leaves us wanting more! Judging from the number of posts here, she still is the person people are most interested in.
Posted by: Palin Fan | December 24, 2008, 5:04 am 5:04 am
Palin was having so much trouble keeping her big yap zipped during the campaign that she snuck in phone calls to Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly and the epitome of ultraconservatism, Rush Limbaugh. When the McCain camp found out Palin was trying to arrange her own interviews, they were not happy campers and told her in no uncertain terms to knock it off.

Posted by: Central Scruitinizer Orlando | December 24, 2008, 8:49 am 8:49 am
Let’s face it. Sarah Palin was an insult to the American people as a candidate for VP. What was John McCain thinking? She had no political chops – clearly! In 4 yrs she will still not have enough political chops to stand up to many more qualified Republicans. She has a hard time gathering her thoughts before she speaks. I don’t care how good looking she is – she is a neophyte pure and simple.
Posted by: Bob | December 24, 2008, 9:08 am 9:08 am

Posted by: tommywo | December 24, 2008, 12:58 pm 12:58 pm
I wanted to comment on a few of the responses here, but the posts of FS and WW, address most if not all. As far as Palin goes, I miss her. I use to come home in the evening to the comedy. I know she speaks incoherently most times, however nobody commented on how she speaks continuously until the breath is lost and quickly continues in the next breath. She speaks without a punctuation mark. No period. No comma, no pause; ouch, I guess as long as you replay what she says you can make out what she really wants to say. It is not that she does not have experience or even education. It is just that she is not qualified to be President of anything, let alone the greatest nation on earth. You know Mike Tyson is a great fighter. Heck, I am sure he would beat the living daylights out of the Iranian President, he would hit the evil out of Bin Laden, the Russian president would not stand a chance. He has won so many titles, he surely could run for President. Now which one you consider him a good choice for President of the USA.
But here is a better choice for you republicans and Palin supporter. Well do you think Bill O, Hanity, Limbaugh, Beck, Malkin would be suitable candidates and do you believe Palin is better suited than those guys? W is educated. Look at the state of the economy and the country! And he along with the majority of Republican voices would like to blame it on Clinton and even on the older Bush. Well W had 8 years to fix it. What did he do, he squandered that opportunity, and you have the nerves to talk about one of the most educated person to be ever elected by the most people to ever vote in any US election? On top of that you post snide remarks as though if he does not fix it forthwith, he has failed? That he is picking a team of educated smart people, is that not enough change? Just because these peolple are not perfect angels, you have all kinds of dirty posts about them. Look, there is nothing that is being reported about Palin that she did not show or voice herself. And by the way, in 8 years when she decides to run, we will not be asking her questions about which magazines or newspapers she read, or about any cases. We will be asking her how does cloud computing and virtualization help reduce energy cost and make the planet greener. How much of the snowcap has melted over the last 8 years? Now that Obama had set the economy back on track and made the US respected by even our enemies, will reverse course as did W and start a war with Russia? Lets face it, Palin did it all to herself. She spilled oil in her pathway, and when she slid and kept on sliding she poured gasoline all over her clothes. And if that was not enough, she got mad, pulled out the 12 guage and flame thrower and decided to fight the people who came to her rescue. She is a walking disaster. It is better to look like a stupid fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubts.
Posted by: kdeeone | December 24, 2008, 1:23 pm 1:23 pm
You Libs are something else. Didn’t want Sarah Palin as VP because “She had no experience” When in fact she has more experience than the man you put in the whitehouse and yet you’re worried about the lack of experience Caroline Kennedy to hold a senate seat. Yep it’s a given liberals have no common sense. By the way the cool black guy you elected president…Came from the womb of a white woman. So tell me how he made history? Also why should Caroline have to release anything? Your President didn’t. Doesn’t make any sense!
Posted by: Marla | December 24, 2008, 2:29 pm 2:29 pm
Here’s another of my favorites from the Cameron interview on Fox. I think Sarah was whining about her treatment by the press – either that or complaining about cheating during a game of Capture the Flag.
“As we send our young men and women overseas in a war zone to fight for democracy and freedoms, including freedom of the press, we’ve really got to have a mutually beneficial relationship here with those fighting the freedom of the press, and then the press, though not taking advantage and exploiting a situation, perhaps they would want to capture and abuse the privilege. We just want truth, we want fairness, we want balance.”

Most of you don’t think of Alaska as part of the United States anyway! You think that because they are not part of the lower 48 states that they don’t really matter!

I have to apologize. I was wrong about Katie Couric’s interview with Sarah Palin. She is not the one who asked the personal questions about Sarah’s family. I do know that some reporter did ask them during an interview but I can’t find it on the internet. I found the entire transcript of Katie’s interview with Sarah and I know now that it wasn’t Katie. I apologize to all of you and I especially apologize to Ms. Couric for the things that I said about her. I should not have called her an idiot. If she reads this I hope she will accept my apology.

She certainly gets around from job to job.

He could never run this country because he isn’t qualified. He needs all the help he can get they they will be running it.

Jeff Fish: You said the right words. Obama will be a failure and I am going to get a good laugh out of it because I didn’t vote for him. No way would I vote for a candidate that had close ties to a man that bombed this country three times. All those that voted him in office could never be true American’s. Now he wants to use Lincoln’s Bible. Give me a break. What a show. Lincoln must be turning over in his grave. He was a republican. The only reason he is doing that is because Lincoln freed the slaves. He is no Lincoln or Clinton. He needs all the help he can get to run this country.

Pat Napolitano: You are dead wrong. Mothers are working everyday of the week and their children are in daycare. I would never put my children in daycare or head start. Palin did the right thing by having her children with her. That baby will get more care than some of the children whose mothers either aborted them or put them in an institution. And if her pregnant daughter was with her who cares. Watch the Maury show sometime and you will see numerous young girls having children out of wedlock and don’t know who the father is. One girl at age 12 whose mother has to care for the baby while she is in school. You need to get a grip on life. In fact, why don’t you run for governor if you think you smarter than Palin.

carlyonsue: Your right. Obama is not the Messiah and that is an abomination of the Lord. He is suppose to be the candidate of change but it appears he duped the American people. There will be no change in Washington. The Clinton people are back, all but Bill Clinton. I believe that Axelrod made deals with the Clinton people not to endorse Hillary because she wouldn’t choose them for her administration. There was a lot of backhanded deals going on while Hillary was campaigning. Nancy, Dean and Reid are the three who also made deals with the superdelegates to switch their vote to Obama. Its nice to be a winner under corruption. But what is in the dark will eventually come to the light and the public will be kicking themselves.
