    It is endlessly amusing that there appear to be a fairly large group of Americans who can make sense out of her nonsense. What does that say about the way these people have educated themselves (including Mrs. Palin)? We cannot accept such mediocrity in our elected officials. Fine for ordinary citizens to walk around in such a state but we are talking about "leaders". Odd that Mrs. Palin seems to have the look and allure of a leader with no other accompanying skills. Her briefing came across more like a PTA announcement than anything meriting national attention. And as always she had to drag the kids into the fray.

    Stupidity, hypocrisy, revisionism. It isn't hard to see why Rush Limbaugh sees her as the ideal candidate for his drooling masses.

      It says that half the people are of below-average intelligence.

      Palin speaks for them.

        Been watching FoxNews frantically TRY to put a positive spin on this one.

        (It's hard not to gloat after having these people scream about their "moral superiority"over everyone else for so long.)

        All they can come up with is that she is such a victim.

        Poor little defenseless Sarah.

          "Most candidates, most public officials get to look into a camera and say, 'you better leave your hands off my kids,'" she said. "Well I haven't been able to say that. And that double standard that's been applied, that's been a little bit frustrating."

          Quote from Fox News article. Amazing hypocrisy. She gives the press conference the other day and who is front and center...the kids! She is so illogical that it is frustrating that she isn't called out more, not less. There is no double standard. Keep the kids in the house when you are politicing. She paraded them from St. Paul all the way to the return to Wasilla and beyond. The double standard is yours Sarah.

          This whole victim act is now her campaign. She's just independent, innocent, little Sarah, the homemaker. Talk about a load of "bull cr-p" as she called the stories about her in the media. This woman is dangerous. Dangerous to the future of this country. Even her presence in a race will dramatically create the level of hatred. Let's see her run a campaign without solely focusing negatively on her opponent. Try selling yourself Sarah, instead of spending all of your time running down others and playing the victim. Ask yourself perhaps once, WWJD? You are a disgrace to your Christian faith with your negativity. I see nothing in Jesus' word that advocates her position as a victim or a hatemonger.

            One has to wonder if she puts the kids out there so people will comment that they're out there so she can complain that people are commenting on her kids.

            Heh...I don't watch Fox, so...are you SERIOUS?

            OK, let me see if I understand this...the woman who just recently wanted to be the second highest elected official in the nation unexpectedly quit her position as the highest elected official of a state, and they're blaming the liberals for picking on her??

            OMG, LOL...can you imagine the UPROAR if a Democratic governor quit because everyone was being "mean" to him/her?

            Now, my challenge to all the conservatives on this site is simply this: Deny that you would be having an absolute FIELD DAY if the situations were reversed. Deny that you would be calling the Democratic governor a coward, a wimp, a wussy...every yellow-bellied name in the book.

            And then, explain why you're not saying the same about her?

            Thanks. 8)

              And if she did somehow become president, what would she do if some foreign leader said "mean" things about her?

                Ah, that would be when Bill Krystol's PNAC perpetual war plans kick in. ;-)
