re: #257 OhCrapIHaveACrushOnSarahPalin

I don’t think she’s a bad person, I just think she’s got some opportunist tendencies, like a lot of the progressive media-ites. People took grave offense to Robert Gibbs’s phrase “professional left”, but I thought it was funny.

Dunno…to me, a lot of this is just showbiz. I probably shouldn’t be so cynical about it, but that’s my view.

I think she never got over Obama beating Hillary Clinton. FDL was a launching pad for the PUMAS, IIRC. They were pissed, and Jane still seems to be.

And she threw in early with a-holes like Larry Johnson and his non-existant ‘Whitey Tape,’ because she wanted to see Obama electorally wounded. I never really trusted her - as you said, she’s always had the whiff of self-promotion about her - and once she threw in with Johnson I gave up on her and her blog altogether.
