/It just keeps getting better.

Bastards.

McCain was lucky to have Sarah by his side. We are unfortunate to not have her as our VP.

There are 57 ways to put the shoe on the other foot.

I guess since Obama's bus is no longer needed the McCain campaign "borrowed" it.

If John was the man he says he is he'd stop it

I heard this predicted on Fox a couple weeks ago. Who better to make it come true.

Good evening, Lizards.
I'm not going to watch the clip because I don't want to be upset before bed.
However, conservatives/Republicans will never be elected while we point fingers and break ranks. The Democrats have us beat at that.

asshats

You do understand this is hearsay evidence from a network that now must ingratiate itself to the Obama Administration for access. Who are the "staffers?" Why not interview them directly?

TFK thinks Campaign Carl is a weasel. I agree.

The shit talk express.

I'm feeling depressed. I'll go indulge my geeky side.

L8r all.

As Queensryche so masterfully put it in Operation Mindcrime, I say "Sweet dreams . . . you bastard"

She didn't know that Africa was a continent and not a country?

And then O'Reilly's response is "she could be tutored"?

There are at least two or three things wrong here, but I'm not sure which ones they are just yet.

Forgot to add "run for office"

McCain? Staffers? What are these things of which you speak?

I could savage McCain's activities over the years in the name of "compromise".

Palin has something that many are either in awe of, and love her for it, others want her destroyed. Some are Republicans who don't might the compromises that are exchanged for dinner party invitations.

re: #16 SpartanWoman

Wait a second. If the MSM had inside information on Biden, you would all be screaming if you found out that they had sat on that info.

This is not anyones fault but the McCain campaign. If Palin was a bad choice, or there were internal problems, then it was their fault.

Let's not start acting like the Dems and blaming the messenger.

I want the names of those who are doing the leaking, or I want Fox to retract the entire thing and apologize. We couldn't get jack out of the media when it came to Obama's "interesting" friends and activities, and I, for one, and sick of the double standards.

I doubt the veracity of the info. It is impossible that she believed Africa was a country not a continent

No, this is not double standards. Fox reported more than anyone on Obama's interesting friends and activities. And now they have some info on some internal problems with McCains staff and the campaign. Sounds fair and balanced to me.

How Todd Palin has not cold-cocked some people is beyong me.

As for McCain "staffers", they took better care of Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers than they did of Palin

McCain had his shot and failed. Palin is the future of conservatism. It would be wise for his camp to treat her with the respect she deserves. If it wasn't for her, Obama's win would have been much greater.

greetings to the proletariat!

Ah, the blame game. That'll help the party find some direction.

Was she also reponsible for the McCain organization's problems during the primaries?

Look, if she's really not fit for national office, let the truth come out, but there's a lot of blame to go around, IMHO.

Bill Orielly is, like a lot of news commentators, of the most ill-informed.

Sarah Palin was nothing but an asset to the McCain campaign. Lets be real here people, this campaign was going nowhere from the start.

What nonsense. Rumor and innuendo.
Where's the Obama tape? No follow-up there?

I try to play the video, but it only plays about 2 seconds with no video and then it freezes. The video continues to download, but nothing happens.

That is NOT pretty. And so unnecessary.

I don't believe this crap. Did you see the giddy smirk on that weasel Carl Cameron's face at the beginning of the segment?

Lets see how many down dings I can gather.

She couldn't name the three countries in North America.

She didn't know that Africa was a continent.

He went to 57 and was about to go to state #58 (but he wasn't allowed to go to Alaska or Hawaii, i.e., states #59 and 60.)

He got away with this but a woman who crying staffers CLAIM said the things you mentioned is trashed.

What a pile of crap.

F*ck them! They were lucky to have Sarah or McCain's candidacy would have been a BHO blowout.

It would behoove the RNC to incorporate Sarah Palin into the future of the party and to national position. But then, I'm just a silly woman and what do I know?

Gave up on FOX quite a bit back. They were too shallow to watch. Even if they sometimes ticked off the far left, they were still not worth watching. I think someone is trying to halt her career. Based on her history, there isn't a snowballs' chance in hell, that the effort to halt her will be successful.

Lets pretend it's true. Now what do you say?

The best way to beat an opponent is to never allow him in the ring.
Palin is the Zero's nightmare: she STOLE the cameras, the spotlight, you name it.
He is fluff, she is substance.
Fox news is in bed with the rest of the MSM, knowing that if it wants access to the new president, certain ppl need to go under the bus.
Palin is who they demanded, FOX coughed her right up, like a hairball.

It's just Carl, having a post-election hissy fit since Trig barfed all over him during the election.

All the news channels, INCLUDING FOX, can go commit an un-natural act with themselves and an industrial bench grinder. I've had it with all of them. They are the enemy. O'Reilly is a wimpy, stale slice of dog-squeeze and Hogwasher & Skeletor can kiss my fat white conservative @ss. I am DONE with them.

This sounds like a "Palin is so stupid..." joke contest

We will never truly find out what exactly went on behind closed doors in the McCain campaign regarding Palin and top McCain staffers.

re: #21 SpartanWoman

SOunds like pure horseshit to me

Yeah, I'm getting that impression too.

1. She is so stupid that she thought Africa was a country.

2. She was so stupid that she was unprepared to expound spontaneously on the notion of American Exceptionalism, its philosophical roots, and

3. She was "a bit of a shopaholic," and maybe she sometimes bought more clothes than she needed. Although this was usually because she needed to have several sizes bought because there wasn't time to try stuff on. Still, though.

I'm not the biggest Palin fan in the room, and I'm more than willing to believe that she was problematic for the ticket if someone's got a story to tell. But these are just not items that collectively paint a coherent picture of a candidate who was a drag on the ticket.

We agree 100% about American Jews but disagree here about Obama. He put together and ran a campaign that by all accounts was excellent. That speaks to his political abilities. I am sure you are also happy that his hatchet man loves rather than hates Israel. I am.

If by "excellent" you mean he got wha HE wanted. . .then yes, you are correct.

If by excellent you mean he unified people, spoke honestly and directly, and invited scrutiny into his life, and directed people to stop lowering expectations on him or his character and ran a race that was about what he could do for his country- he did not

He got what he wanted
The majority of Americans and our allies will get the shaft- literally

What a piece of sh.. !

As for reporter Carl Cameron - smirky face came out with this gem early on in the story

Seriously, I didn't make this up: quoting some rat fink sources who according to Cameron were concerned that "...she didn't have enough knowledgeability to carry it off..."

Knowledgeability?

I think the keyword in this story is "staffers". These "staffers" want jobs in someone else's campaign in the near future, and therefore need someone to blame for their own failures in this election.

And speaking of stupid, in the great words of our President Elect "10,000 dead in Kansas!"

I thought Africa was part of America. That's where African-Americans originally immigrated from, isn't it? Hell, Alaska is almost as big as Africa, and it's only a state! Where does Africa come off being a continent?

Anyway, when will Carl Cameron give equal time to how Biden got thrown overboard at the last minute? What are the juicy inside details on that one? I can't imagine he was given time off for good behavior. Now he's a certified asshat, when he can't keep his stupid remarks under wraps.

We love Sarah Palin, and still do. She was a class act, as far as we could tell.

re: #125 The Pulchritudinous Patriot

Sorry

I have read all about this but I can't watch the clip. Makes me sick to think about someone doing that. If it is true that is, which I have no doubt, but I will wait. If someone already proved it up thread, I did not read them all.

O'Reilly being O'Reilly. Jeez, I've felt 100 times better in the last 24 hours by tuning out Fox News.

Big Bill is still pissed Sarah never came on his show.

Sarah will still be around when John Sidney McCain retires to any one of his 10 (or is it 12?) homes.

Bet John wouldn't treat Hillary as badly as he's about to treat Sarah.

With this shit, I've got to say it's looking like the right person won last night.

I heard - and you heard- the things she said about Russia. They were idiotic.

You don't want to believe this, I understand.

I'm going to ding down anyone advocating Jindal from here on out. Sorry- the man is unelectable nationally and the sooner we come to grips with it, the sooner we can think of better candidates.

Posted earlier, but bears repeating:

I find this hard to believe, let alone accept. These would be the same people that picked her, gagged her for two weeks, fed her to Gibson and Couric and then decided to let her be her own person on the trail? This is nothing less than blame-shifting. McCain has no one to blame for himself for the loss.

re: #90 nobamadada

I really don't want to know what happened behind closed doors between McCain staffers and Sarah Palin. I don't care. Sort of like I don't care what Whoopie said on the View this morning. I hope nobody on talk radio touches this topic tomorrow. It is all bullshit.

I second that notion. I'm a Christian but we DO NOT need fundamentalist Christians in power who believe in creationism. I vote for a president, NOT a pastor. We don't need anything resembling a theocracy in this country. The problem with those is the guy in charge thinks he's THEO. Jindal is unelectable. We need to get back to strong conservative principles but we don't need to go off the deep end. If we do, the dems/marxists will take this country for a ride equal to that of the old Soviet Union.

i could not agree anymore. Where is Fox news going!?!?

Woah, South Park predicted the LLL reaction to Obama's election exactly. 'Looosers! Looosers!"

Other outlets have reported that a lot of the backbiting came from Romney aides imported in to work on the McCain campaign. So take a lot of this with a grain of salt. If my guy's likely to run in 2012, I'm going to spin as much as I can against a potential rival. Well, I probably wouldn't because I try to be somewhat honorable, but political operatives know little about honor.

re: #128 SpartanWoman

It is what it is.

If she never said those ridiculous things about world geography, etc., then she will call a press conference post haste and rip her accusers into bite-sized pieces.

If she doesn't, then what they said is likely true. And judging by the confidence in Fox News's report, I suspect they've got this stuff nailed to the floor.

More importantly: Even if the silliness isn't true, and she still just disappears into the north woods, I suspect she's finished as a White House hopeful. You've got to reassure people you're not a maroon.

It's almost like the party is going to need to be totally buried and then someone resurrect a new bunch of conservative leaders. Personally, I wouldn't allow anyone from LA. to run for a national office. My moms side of the family is from NO, they go all the way back to the 1600's.

A lot of lawyers in her family, working for the politico's of the city and state. Take my word for it, no good comes from any LA. politician, right, left, or otherwise. IMHO.

The conservatives have to decide what's important to the process. Politics along with morals or politics along with the religious right. Those are really two different things.

you saw how she worked those crowds. a natural. Reaganesqe. Meanwhile McCain had zero charm. zero ability to motivate. zero ability to fundraise. Get out of the way you moderates. you've destroyed the party. a friggin marxist is soon to be our president thanx to your idiocy.

Hey, wait a second...At first glance here about NAFTA -- the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the U.S. which this "reporter" claims Palin didn't know about it? On the face of it -- I don't believe that...why? Because one of the pipe lines being built in Alaska (which she constantly referred to) is being built by a CANADIAN firm...On the face of it, I don't trust FOX. Need to investigate further.

re: #114 Cognito

I don't hear any denials yet, though.

That's important. If she doesn't come springing into the spotlight in about five minutes and say, "AFRICA? Heck, I majored in AFRICAN studies, baby," then she's done, politically.

What's the point?
Why should she deny Cameron's gossip?
Does she have to come on TV and deny every towel story someone comes up with?
The election is over. Outside of Alaska, who cares?

Now, how about asking Obama about his statement that Iran is a tiny harmless country? Or Biden about how we and the French kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon? These are the men we elected and their idiocy needs to be dealt with.

They trashed our country and our president on foreign soil. This feels the same way to me. I can't get over the vitriol coming out of the republican party over Sarah. They have done so much damage to the campaign and now to a possible future candidate. Why bring this crap up now? And if you are going to do it, have the guts to go on the record.

If it's true, it's the Romneyites that McCain took on after he won the nomination.

Sarah Palin was an excellent choice. The campaign staff, as controlling strangers, most likely underutilized her. She had to learn mounds of info and compatible talking points. I'm sure she chaffed at a lot of this and just wanted to campaign. Shame on John for letting his staff make a lot of poor decisions concerning her interviews with the media.

First, I agree with Walter, it is never good to paint yourself into your own corner of double-standard.

If there is truth to this, let them report it.

However, to be brutally honest, I just have a very hard time believing this now. Seriously, if this is the case with Palin, is it not just as much fault of the "staffers" not doing their job in vetting her for the position before the offer?

As well, during the campaign, if this was such a dirty little secret they felt to be so damaging, why not convince McCain to utilize the 57 states comment by Obama during the debates? You can't argue, on the level, this is just as bad as not knowing the difference with Africa being a Continent versus a country.

Actually, as far as I am concerned, and what really makes me think this way, is this is her ox being gored. As soon as I read about the towel story, something just did not sit right.

If I was a betting man, someone / something is trying to diminish her credibility for the future.

Kind of sexist in the reporting.

re: #187 Sharmuta

Sour grapes is unbecoming. That's what this is.

Sure it's unbecoming. That doesn't mean it's not informative.

I don't care a whit for the gossipy bits. And if she were just going to head home and lead a long and productive life serving the citizens of Alaska, I wouldn't care about the substantial stuff.

But if she's going to step into a position on the national stage, I want to know if she can take the field with skill. Conservatives are in a bad position right now, and they can't afford any surprises next time around.

MSM was camped out in Kenya, waiting for the victory celebration; no one wandered over to Baracks' brothers' place to interview him durring the election...Isn't that "odd"?
No one interviewed his illegal immigrant aunt. That's "odd" too. The fix has been in from the start. Obama will take his post very seriously, and I wish him all the luck in the world.

No one interviewed his illegal immigrant aunt. That's "odd" too. The fix has been in from the start. Obama will take his post very seriously, and I wish him all the luck in the world. He is being propped up, but the ones who are holding the cards aren't showing their hand. FOX is not our friend. Fox is FOX's friend.

I agree. I'm not am Obama fan, but I too hope he does his job well.

Is it wrong for me to want to kick campaign Carl in the balls really hard?

Please do.

re: #231 kansas

No, she's finished nationally because she will never be able to overcome the MSM.

Prediction: much of the MSM goes bankrupt really soon. The economy is going to get really bad and carrying water for BHO will not pay the bills.

That's a safe hug--don't need no bugs here.

Thanks, Mandy...love ya!

Safe hugs back...!

re: #240 RTLM

Now on the Greta Gutter of Shit.

Alright - I take that back. Greta is defending Palin.

You stay classy, McCain staffers!

Losing is tough, people. But grown-ups can take the lumps without leaking whines and innuendo to the press.

And I'd like to take a moment to extend my own personal atta-boy to Fox News' intrepid Campaign Carl, who just barely managed to keep his girlish squeals of delight out of his breathless rumor reporting.

Ugh is right, Charles.

my take on this is Fox definitely knows they are out of the loop and are desperately trying to get back in. what a ridiculous hit piece on Palin. all a bunch of third hand nonsense.

"she didn't under the concept of American exceptionalism" (hehad trouble with that phrase and had to repeat it slowly). what utter bullshit.

somebody wants her under the bus.

re: #114 Cognito

I don't hear any denials yet, though.

That's important. If she doesn't come springing into the spotlight in about five minutes and say, "AFRICA? Heck, I majored in AFRICAN studies, baby," then she's done, politically.

You are unbelievable. Literally un - be liev able

re: #161 Cognito

If she never said those ridiculous things about world geography, etc., then she will call a press conference post haste and rip her accusers into bite-sized pieces.

If she doesn't, then what they said is likely true.

Right.

And since I've never heard Bush explicitly deny that he carried out 9/11, why, that must prove that...

re: #228 Sharmuta

Moby network.

if they came in Left, like everyone else, they'd have no edge. So their marketing makes them the ones the Left love to hate. Good for ratings.
In reality, in the tank, like all the rest.

re: #209 Sharmuta

It's kookservative.

And, it won't fly with realistic, fiscal conservatives.

If this story is true...then the McCain staff are a bunch of douchebags.

They plucked this woman from her home state, offered her the VP position, and pointed the cameras at her.
She gave the McCain campaign a SERIOUS boost, and drew huge crowds - and ratings - whenever she appeared.
She traveled and campaigned like a pro, and her appearances often broke records.
She was the subject of jokes, ridicule, mockery, and scorn from the left.

And now that the votes are in, McCain's crew says "Go home. You're no longer needed...and we didn't like you anyway. See ya!"

Absolutely despicable.

And really, do you seriously think Biden knew which nations were in NAFTA? Or that Africa wasn't a country?

re: #137 SuaSponte

I thought Africa was part of America. That's where African-Americans originally immigrated from, isn't it? Hell, Alaska is almost as big as Africa, and it's only a state! Where does Africa come off being a continent?

I know you're having fun here, but consider this visualization comparing the size of Alaska to the size of the continental United States. (Be patient - this is a large PNG graphic, and may take a while to load)

Next, consider this visualization of Africa's size.

Hey, while we're on the topic, check out the size of Brazil as compared to Europe!

re: #243 Adina in Judea

I gave the McCain campaign $1000 starting when Sarah Palin was named as the VP candidate.

I think they owe her an apology (and I'd like one, too.)

Think you could get your money back? I didn't give a grand, but I would like to have my measly $150 back. I could buy the wife and me dinner and drinks.

re: #81 Opinionated
I say the polls grossly exagerated Obama's lead and did their best to affect public opinion, why?

re: #237 HoosierHoops
