Sarah Palin came out swinging yesterday at insider attacks against her that surfaced after Tuesday's election calling them "cowardly." She also said that those from the McCain camp who leaked out implications that she didn't know which countries were involved in NAFTA and whether or not Africa was a continent were "jerks" and that the comments were taken out of context. Other campaign aides came to Palin's back yesterday, no more than McCain adviser Nicole Wallace. Wallace made headlines in the waning days of the campaign as internal tensions boiled over into the press by saying she would lie under a bus if those in her camp were throwing her under one. Yesterday she said that Palin was “perhaps the most un-diva politician I've seen" and that "the only thing I’ve seen her ask for is a diet soda.” Palin later confirmed the diet soda comment, specifying it was a Diet Dr. Pepper.

1. Does anybody care about her? Can we go back to a time where nobody outside of Alaska had any idea who she was? She has done nothing to warrant so much coverage post-election.
2. How is this relevant to New York? I understand some election stuff is, but this certainly isn't.
hey...how about a Diet Dr. Shut the F%&# up and go back to Alaska and keep an eye on the Russians for us...okkaaaayyyyy alriiiightyyyyy
Uhhhh... Sarah: these are the same people who were trying to help you from looking like a fool... but you just HAD to open your mouth, didn't you?
the issue is less about Palin and more about the continued attention. Seriously, the election is over. Move on people.
you betcha
Palin continues to be savaged by the neo-libs even after the election. It's not enough that she lost the election she must be destroyed so she NEVER comes back. That's how threatening she is to the neo-libs. SARAH PALIN IS AWESOME, FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!
poor moose, Palin is out for blood. I hate this stupid bitch. Why can't Russia cross the border and take her off our hands.
Not only did she cause McCain's to lose votes but now Dr. Pepper's has lost sales
she can jerk me anytime. You know what I'm sayin?
"Palin continues to be savaged by the neo-libs"
Actually, she's being savaged by the angry GOPers who blame her for the loss. Which is not totally inaccurate if you look at the polling and how much of a drag she was on the ticket. I love how the Republicans are engaged in vicious infighting now. It's so entertaining!
Would one rather be an intelligent jerk or an likeable imbecile? Tough choice there. Not.
So now she understands how brutal national politics can be. It took her this long? Just about every voter knows it's a knock down, drag out blood sport. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen, Sarah. Oops, now she'll accuse me of being sexist. Well, at least if it makes her so upset, hopefully she'll never run again.
Why were there blue balloons in her office? Was some staffer trying to rub her nose in her defeat?
After George Bush Senior lost his re-election to Bill Clinton, VP Dan Quayle ran for the Republican nomination 4 years later by appealing to the same core conservative base Palin wants. He failed badly by polling about 1% of Republican voters.
Why would Palin do any better in 2012?
The republicans never REALLY represented the people they say they stood for anyway. Their strategy was always a transparent lie to support the rich. She is hopefully the last gasp of that fake ingenuous crap. That's not politics. That's snake oil. Hopefully good people across the country (religious, family values, blah blah blah) will start to get it through their heads. The trickle down "free" market economy ends up being the golden shower upon the middle class and poor. Sarah Palin is the last gasp of that fake rhetoric. Good she appeared. Maybe people will wise up. Now she can just go away.
Sad, sad Libs with all their hate.
I give you about 3 months before you turn on your own golden boy in the WH.
Gov Palin is a decent public servant who has worked tirelessly in the service of her country and party which is far more than most of you pathetic basement dwellers.
I'd hang out to see how many of sorry compulsive commenters told me to "Go back, uhhh, SOMEWHERE!", but some of us have families and, you know, real people in our lives with whom to spend time.
But knock yourselves out, I'm sure its more meaningful to you than to actually have a reason to live.
'Gov Palin is a decent public servant who has worked tirelessly in the service of her country and party.' You have some pretty interesting standards for 'decent'....

5 shat on community organizing, you know, what people who don't have money do when the system fails them and they react to change their circumstances. but fuck that right?
6 pipeline to nowhere whose planning threatens the disenfranchisement of First Nations groups
THAT DOG DON'T HUNT.
The hateful ones are the shit-eating morons who spent drumming up bigoted, racist, and close minded rhetoric when they couldn't win on the issues. The idea that people who oppose Palin are rootless is just yet another slur by the gurgling, dying Republican party. Wah, education bad, wah!
Like Palin, I mistakenly assumed 'the world' to be 'Alaska'
"Palin continues to be savaged by the neo-libs even after the election. "
Hugo Mego: Like most repugnicans, you either cannot or will not accept any reality other than the one you have created. Every one of these charges against Palin has come from inside McCain's campaign... and there were no "neo-libs" there. NONE! It is her own repugnican insiders who actually tried to work with her who are spilling the beans. Typical right wing moron: see something you disagree with and it MUST be the fault of the Liberals and the Democrats, none of whom have been smearing Palin. It's the people from your own party who have a brain and hate the "know-nothing" wing (sorry, but that's you) that their party has sold out to. Ronald Regan (senile), Dan Quayle (laughable), McCain (senile), Palin (high school records show an astounding I.Q. of 83!), George W. Bush (how's THAT workung out?). Some jobs really should be held by the smart guy or gal... not the idiot with a few wisecracks! Why do you hate America so much that you want someone with an I.Q. of 83 sitting in the Oval Office? It's not slinging burgers, but I suppose that you've never thought of that.
By the way, you use the term "neo-lib", but I doubt that you actually can give me a definition without cheating and looking it up.
There are plenty of reasons to dismiss Sarah Palin, but don't undercut your argument by invoking spurious information. No plausible source backs the "IQ of 83" claim. If I were to make an educated guess, I'd say she's about average, in the 95-105 range.
elizabeth hasslebeck is smarter than sarah palin. that's saying a lot.
So Ted Stevens is expelled from the Senate since he's now a convicted felon. They have to hold a special election to replace him. Palin could have nominated herself to fill his seat while the election is being held but oh no, that would look self-serving. So she chooses a useful idiot and then runs for that empty seat and wins. She gets six years in the Senate, long enough to irritate us all into dressing like a moose. That cunt isn't ever going away.
You know the GOP is in dire straits when they start swiftboating each other. Amazing...
Seriously guys, time to lick your wounds quietly and regroup, there are some serious problems the NeoCons and Fundies created in the last 8 years that you need to fix.
In an early interview, McCain asked Palin if she knew the capital of Alaska?
She hesitated and responded in that dumb accent, "No, ju know?"
McCain, in a senior moment, thought she answered correctly, Juneau, and decided she was smart enough to be vice-president.
Honey, your 15 minutes ended. Go home.
Self built Republican's POS/TroyHorsePalin was just the clumsiest attempt to fish unwary, unsuspecting prone to follow idiots....here here kitty kitty.
How does it feel, bitch?
It's called Karma.
No more press on this slag please.
Sarah Palin is the one who is cowardly, cruel, mean-spirited, immature, and unprofessional. Palin is the jerk whose campaign speeches took things out of context that were neither fair nor right.
