"Sarah Palin: John Kerry 'Diminished Himself By Even Mentioning My Name' In DNC Speech (VIDEO)"
Source: Huffington Post

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) responded to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on Thursday, moments after the Democrat invoked her in a jab at GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney during his Democratic National Convention speech.

“I think he diminished himself by even mentioning my name," Palin said in an interview on Fox Business Network. "How does he even know my name? I mean aren’t these guys supposed to be these big wig elites who don’t waste their time on the little people like me?

I mean, I picked up on them during her performance at the 2008 RNC convention, but so many others didn't see them. It's pretty hard to miss that one.

What a fucking martyr.

she thinks she's too irrelevant and stupid for Kerry to use her to emphasize that Mitt is clueless about foreign policy?

and she misses that Kerry is arguing that Romney may have less real connection to Russia. Now, that has to hurt Romney being seen as worse than Palin.

in the history of this country. And the first woman nominated for national office by the republican party. You can not have both a place in history and consider yourself "the little people."

Maybe because every time America thinks you may have finally retired to a career in mechanized turkey processing up on the North Slope, up you pop like a body in a bad horror movie to spout still more inanities, much to the media's delight.
