Palin Hasn’t Spoken to McCain in ‘Weeks’; Says ‘Department of Law’ Would Protect Her in White House

Kate, Rick,
The point of this story is … ?

Hey Roger, if Alaska has a Department of Law, how was it that she still wasn’t protected from all those “baseless” ethics complaints?

I absolutely hate ABC – this great lady is telling her story – so what do you do? Grab onto the department of law to demean and humiliate her. She has used that term in other interviews due to Alaska’s department of law.
OMG – I wish ABC would just shut down!!!!

One last word – what happened to your ratings ABC????

Having lived in Alaska for over 20 years, SP is widely known for her gaffes. She is simply running while the running is good. CYA Sarah!

Unbelievable – she keeps on going and going, and speaking, speaking and saying nothing.
If its about the criticism of her family, who put them out there???? If its about ethics, then she should have watched what she was doing, and not denying everything.
It’s amazing that she has any supporters now, and if she does WHY. To quit in mid office because of what her reasons are. What would she do as President?????

I didn’t think it was actually possible for the Republicans to find someone DUMBER than Dubya – but they did.
Thank you G.O.P. – thank you for giving us Sarah Palin.

I simply cannot vote for my Republicans again until someone in the party gets a clue and calls this train-wreck what it is. It pains me to see the GOP in the grips of an ignorant, fanatical “base”: The uneducated religious-wing who cheer for an incompetent, unqualified woman all because she’s ‘sassy.’ Seriously, wake up and let’s get someone qualified on the ballot.

Thank goodness we’ve got the super-brilliant genius Joe Biden instead.

“I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at this, the things we have been charged with, and automatically throw them out, not make somebody hire their own personal attorney to get out there and fight.”
was she not paying attention during the clinton years? they got accused of anything and everything the neocons could think of to throw at them, and they had to defend themselves against every bit of it for the eight years he was president and beyond. she really needs to get over the idea that she has been treated differently than other people in politics, or really, the public eye in general.
and if she wants to be left alone, all she has to do is quit inviting reporters and cameras into her life (like she did on her fishing trip).

Good luck running for president with a resume looking like this:
EDUCATION: 1982 – 1987
* Univ of Hawaii at Hilo [1982 for a few weeks (however, the Univ has no record that she ever enrolled)] (QUIT)
* Hawaii Pacific Univ (fall season 1982) (QUIT)
* North Idaho college (Spring and fall 1983. School not able to track down or verify anything significant that she did, one of her professors did not remember her cause she never came to class) (QUIT)
* Univ of Idaho (1984 and 1985) (QUIT)
* Matanuska-Susitna College ( Fall 1985) (QUIT)
Experience:
* She Quit her job as city councilwoman to run for mayor of Wasilla.
* She Quit her job as mayor of Wasilla to run for lieutenant governor.
* She Quit her job as the head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to run for governor.
* And now she’s QUITTING her job as governor to … be a private citizen?
Qualifications:
* Unknown at that time, as she has not held on to any position long enough to determine if she can complete the assignment or tasks given her.

And this is the best a party of supposedly very smart, bright (97% white males) people could do… !!!!!!!!! She makes Dubya look credible again.

What has Obama/Biden got to do with this? Come to think of it the gov. resigned so she can be the president of Russia since they only have a Prime Minister.

So she misspoke?
The Dept. of Law is Alaska’s version of The US Dept. of Justice.

Sarah’s lack of education and knowledge of events on the national stage will forever be the roadblock to her being taken seriously nationally. Now her penchant for quitting jobs time after time before the job is complete will delegate her to being a political has been. Good bye and good riddance Sarah.

lp,
You’re so funny. Palin is so dumb that she’s about to make more money on one book than you’ll make in 12 lifetimes. It is too funny watching Liberal bloggers talk about “how dumb she is” when they are the ones living in section 8 housing and mooching off the taxpayer’s.

I like how she said being governor of Alaska is a waste of time and resources.

It doesn’t really matter whether you love her or hate her. She will never hold an elected office again. Here is why, she showed all her enemies her Achilles Heel. When she said that one of the reasons she was resigning because all the ethic’s filings were costing the state and her family too much. Now her enemies know all they have to do to get her out of office is file ethics law suits.

Give Sarah a break she’s just getting Mavericky.

The point of this story is to try to make sense of her reasoning. Her quote above makes absolutely no sense. She talks in circles. Why invite the press and then get angry when they ask pertinent questions? She’s wired to get the job done. What job? The Govenor’s job? She quit. What on earth is she referring to? And I’m sick of hearing about the frivilous lawsuits.If Washington is going to throw them out, then why quit now?

There is a “Department of Law” in Alaska. Governor Palin was simply saying that the President would be protected from the petty complaints that she received as governor by something similar to the Alaska Department of Law.

amazing – I had a post at 3:39 taken down – no bad language – just asking Snow and Klein to do a fair and balanced report on Biden’s and Obama’s gaffes – hmmmmmmmmm!
Where did it go and why was it taken down

While I’m no fan of Sarah Palin, you have to admire how someone so simple could get herself so far up the political ladder. This is not a stupid woman, she just has a level of tenacity that is out of sync with here level of intellegence. I’m just greatful that she was smart enough to picked the ladder on the right.

ill take palin over biden anyday no matter what.hes in dreamland making up his next incorrect quote for the press.read what the woman says and theres no question what,where,why and how.but of course reporters are so much more intelligent,just ask one,theyll tell ya

I hear all these people talking about ignorant SP is but have they listened to Biden. Or take the five teleprompters away from BO and uh, uh, uh, that way, uh, uh, and you just might see who the villiage idiot really is. Let me just say, there is a villiage in Kenya that missing its idiot.

Meanwhile, our economy is literally SELF-DESTRUCTING at the hands of Obama and Congress and Rick Klein is still obsessing about Sarah Palin. What a moron!!

Sarah Palin needs to learn to put together a coherent thought before she opens her mouth to speak. Rambling rhetoric?

How can an economy SELF-destruct…”at the hands of Obama and Congress”….
If it Self-destructs, it does it all by itself.
Your comment is therefore, not very smart.
And it is incorrect — the economy is not failing because of anything currently being enacted. The economic crisis has been long in the making. The steps being taken now have the potential to fix the spiral downward.
We won’t see results immediately (which the president has never lied about, by the way) — but we will.
Sarah Palin puts HERSELF in the news. I can assure you there are far more people that would LOVE to never see her name in print again than enjoy hearing the reports of yet another of her illogical rants.
I hope she has time to spend with her family, I sincerely wish them well.
As for my country… I hope she decides to write books, do talk shows… or whatever her “higher calling” dictates as long as she doesn’t try to hijack the ailing Republican party any more than she already has.
I like a two party system.

“I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at this, the things we have been charged with, and automatically throw them out, not make somebody hire their own personal attorney to get out there and fight.”
There is no “department of law” at the White House, though Palin appears to have been referring to the White House counsel’s office.”
ROFLMBO. That’s Palin for ya! *wink wink* (Guess she was under a rock while Clinton was in the White House, huh?)

ABC the new communist network. I will beleive Sarah Palin over anything that ABC says. If ABC says it is raining outside, I would suggest that you go look for yourself. The liberal idiots sure are afraid of this lady and that is why they are working so hard to tear her down.
Did anyone happen to notice that the stock market fell BIG again today when the dems started talking about another stimilus payback? First one hasn’t worked so let’s do it again. Any of you get a job from that first stimiuls the Great BO promised?
I know one thing for sure. Sarah Palin is ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT AND HAS A BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO PROVE IT. Sarah Palin would also know better than to bow to a Muslim king.
ABC Gov owned news.

Sarah Palin is a Loser. She has a long history of “quitting”. She quit five different colleges, which took her seven years just to get an undergraduate degree, which apparently did not help much, as she is still DUMB. After admitting to Katie Couric that she just doesn’t read any journals or newspapers, we still have Republicans who are waving her flag for high office. This alone says a lot about the Republican party. Since Palin lost the election for John McCain, how can the GOP expect her to win any elections for herself? If Palin is all they have, they are in deep trouble. And Sarah, do your homework, there’s no Department of Law in the White House, and no people who lived at the same time as the dinosaurs.

Wow! I finally scanned through all the comments and got to the end.
What a read! There was a guy who was wondering any ABC includes their own opinions in this article. This person forgot they are reading an editorial.
It’s scary how many of those e-mail chain letters I get with conservative “bits of wisdom” in big letters, and how many people like that kind of communication. But that’s how many people are.
It’s scary how much support Sarah Palin gets from some people, but that’s how some people are, also. Simple folk. Real simple.
And it’s funny how some conservatives think, well since the left hates her so much, there’s something there, let’s support her. We’re not sure what we’re supporting, but it’s gotta be something good, otherwise the left wouldn’t hate her. This kind of simplistic reverse psychology can be used against them.
I think everyone is just curious and what to be entertained by the ending of this whole show. How’s it gonna end… It’s like that really ridiculous television channel you stumble upon, and you just leave it on because you are amazed at how ridiculous it really is, and you can’t believe your eyes that such a person is a governor, and worse, by some chance might remotely be president… ugghhh, gives you chills!

First, how could anyone take ABC BHO television serious?
Second, let’s talk about gaffes. 57 states, disconnected president and VP-can’t get their stories straight, foreign policy a disaster, lectures from Putin the “President”, stop funding missile defense program the day Korea launches their nuclear capable missile, I won’t tax health benefits like McCain – oops I think I will afterall, transparent govt, but who really knows what is in Omnibus and stimulus plan…There will be NO pork barrel projects, stimulus and omnibus chalk full of ridiculous projects. I couldn’t do the correct analysis on the economy so now we’ll need to consider another stimulus bill, I can’t talk without my teleprompter, need I go on?
Don’t worry, if Palin is so bad and dumb it shouldn’t matter. She can’t affect anything. Your guy, on the other-hand is systematically dismantling this country before our very eyes and yet….he’s better than Palin…let’s not even talk about Biden

What in the world does President Obama has to do with this story or the ignorance of a persons who Wants to be President? No he is Not Dumb……..or ignorant. He is the President. Don’t drag him to this level.

Sarah Palin is an embarrassment to sensible modern women everywhere. Her supporters are in the fanatically religious ignorant minority. If the GOP doesn’t wise up and find well-qualified candidates which appeal to hard-working, competent, forward-thinking Americans, it will continue its downward spiral. For some reason (probably the same secret reason Palin resigned), the GOP party leaders don’t get it. They thought Palin could win because she’s a woman and their current party chairman would be great because he’s black. Sorry, but neither one of them have anything in common with Hillary Clinton or President Obama.

I though this article was about Sarah Palin not Obama or Biden.
Does she think that if she was president she wouldn’t be criticized? She brings this on herself. Look at her actions. She likes the media and attention.
If she is so worried about the media attention her family has gotten, keep them out of it.

Camille Paglia, in her column today, hit the nail on the head about Palin and the “press.” It’s the best read around for the TRUTH. These people who lambast her are simply AFRAID of her stand on issues, issues the American people LIKE and agree with. This is simply fear of change back to family values and SANENESS rather than government controlling our lives!

Di–I think the coherency problem lies with you democrats who are used to lies and smoothness and teleprompters and Letterman–I found Palin to be honest forthright and brave–a real “change agent”. If you chose to listen to her instead of following the media “money-makers” slants–you might be pleasantly surprised. The liberal media can only make money these days if they slam Sara–can’t blame them-but,they will have to eat their words in the future.

Snarky article.

If the media will stop covering her every move, she will go away. Why do we read about her? she makes us laugh.

Does the WH counsel’s office get to evaluate and throw out complaints? No. Does the DOJ? No. Anyone sentient in the 90s knows this — does anyone think the kinds of thing SP is accused of are less significant than the travel office thing?

Palin is self-humiliating. She doesn’t need any help from ABC News. The Witch of Wasilla is just the gift that keeps on giving – to the Democratic Party. Thank you, Scary Sarah!

Hey Kate, nice job with the follow up questions. You just let her spew out all kinds of lies about her never being found in violation of ethical complaints (not true) and how it costs the state millions of dollars (also not true). You guys in the MSM will do anything to get the interview, if it means not getting to the truth of the matter.

“The point of this story is to make fun of Palin’s reference to the ‘department of law’. And yes, they succeeded — I did chuckle! Palin is a ridiculous person. I know the type because I work around one just like her. Unaware of what she doesn’t know.”
O.k. Hang, what is it that YOU know? Why dont you run for public office if the answers lie within YOU!

ya’ll need GOd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Palin is a very smart woman with God and Christains on her side God Bless You Palin……..

hi vous j’aime bien cette facon de imaginer ce commentaire mais l’ immobilier est mon choix avant tout.
