Please stop publishing anything this airhead has to say.......haven't you learned anything from herperformance in the debate?
Any ouf you that think she will ever be a good president or heck any kind of president is just ignorant.
Stop listening to her...she is just a skirt with a gift of name calling, and of course repeating what others say......well maybe she will be a good republican president after all...lol

Repugs. Please, please, please, run Sarah Palin in 2012.

"If Palin is so stupid, corrupt and irrelevant why are so many people getting riled up about her everytime she shows up anywhere?"

Easy. Because we're sick of stupid, corrupt and irrelevant people showing up everywhere.

The fact that there are peolpe like you who still support this charletan just goes to prove how far the GOP has sunk.

You'll see just how far we have NOT sunk in the next election!

Some of you liberals have gone so far as to say that Sarah Palin should be slapped, literally! Have you forgotten that Sarah Palin is a country girl? Anyone who knows how to hunt and skin a moose can handle herself in a fight! Country girls learn very early to slap right back when they are slapped! I know that because I'm a country girl myself and I've been in a fight or two myself. My mother taught me when I was six years old and got in a fight with my cousin, never to start a fight but to slap right back when I'm slapped!

Just another liberal attempt to discredit Gov. Palin. I guess the liberals are still worried about her in 2012. If she had headed the ticket in 2008 we would have a different family in the White house.

You are right! Sarah would have been a much better pick to head the republican ticket than John McCain! She might have had a lot to learn and might have been lacking experience but she is intelligent, much more intelligent than some people give her credit for being, and she learns quickly. John McCain just seemed like a sick old man. He also refused to use all of the tools at his disposal to win. He should have gone after Barack Obama and attacked him on his associates in Chicago and the fact that Barack Obama sat and listened to his racist minister Wright every Sunday for twenty years. He should also have turned Sarah Palin lose and let her talk and attack instead of controlling her every word. He didn't and therefore he lost!

Your ignorance is showing (check Webster's definition of ignorance)...the facts have surfaced and show that MOST of what you say is pure garbage!
You CAN see Russia from Alaska and I have the pictures to prove it! Couric is an idiot who was trying to bolster her sagging standing in the ratings at someone else's expense!
Check the meaning of paraphrasing...there is nothing legally OR morally wrong in using it! I strongly suspect that you too are guilty of paraphrasing someone at some point in your life!
Sarah has never misappropriated funds from anyone and does indeed buy her own clothes from a second hand shop WITH HER OWN MONEY! SHE HOLDS NO CLOTHING THAT WAS PURCHASED BY THE RNC!
As to Levi, he sees Tripp when it is convenient to Levi (in spite of the fact that he is a deadbeat dad!) Keep in mind that this child is still a bit young to be trotted out and about on a whim! Sarah & Todd have always treated him well and LEVI HAS EVEN VOLUNTARILY told the tabloid press that!

Thank you norsequeen! That's what I've been saying all along! I completely agree with you! You are RIGHT!

There is simply no evidence to support these attacks on Palin. She credited Gingrich 5 times in her speech. Another dishonest left wing smear attack., Shame Shame

No she didn't...

TJ411: She did credit him at least twice! Besides if Newt doesn't care why should you? The speech belonged to Newt Gingrich and if he doesn't mind her using it, then it's no one else's business!

Interesting. Your headline says" Palin Slapped" as if some governmental entity has brought charges against the governor. But no, as we read it is from a blogger who is writing a book adversarial to the governor. We also note that even though Newt's people said no plagarism occurred because at least two attributions were given in the speech( how many times do you think in a speech is sufficient?), you fail to report that at all. You give the attorney's explanation little credibility but elevate an erroneous, unsupported allegation of a blogger to the level of a government investigative body. is this far and balanced or just an attack piece?
