Sarah Palin and a heckler at SNL after-party

This woman has zero class. Her attire was tacky, her behavior towards one heckler was immature.

She told that heckler "are you in show business?" he said no, she said "then don't be jealous, boy" And to think this woman could have been our vice-president!

1. I figure if McCain was elected he would have popped an artery in his brain.

2. I hear Palin tongue-waggers crow about how this was a great moment for her.

They fawn over her "snappy" comeback at the heckler.

If that's a winning moment for her, then what does that say?

It never seemed to occur to Palin that she was invited to this SNL event only because of how the show enjoyed a spike in popularity because of how it lampooned her, making her the butt end of skits and jokes for much of the 2008 campaign season.

7. She's just tone deaf. The way to overcome hecklers is to retain your dignity, not bellow at them.

Then the heckler looks like a jerk.

She managed to flip the script EFFORTLESSLY--and that's what is so scary about her.

I do not think my ears will even accept a pitch in that range anymore. Fortunately I think she has exceeded her shelf life.

about the size of this group when Madeleine Albright was confronted by a heckler. She handled it with class. At no point did she engage with heckler and yet kept a friendly vibe while talking to us.

In this video Sarah's body language was that of someone in a bar arguing and getting ready to fight.

Millions of people voted for McCain/Palin just because of the "R" behind their name.
THAT is scary..and pathetic.

And Sarah Palin is their queen. I even think she raided Snooki's closet.

10. Every time McCain appears on a talk show to give his opinion, somebody should show this, and say

"You thought THIS person was a good choice for Vice President of the United States. So, can you convince us why any of us should take your opinions seriously?"

like to say boy. People like Sarah must feel empowered whenever they use the word "boy" when putting someone in their place.

of exceptional americans. Exceptionally duped by a master grifter. That's about it. A heartbeat away??? Truly fucking amazing she was even in the mix, but then again, maybe not so amazing. American voters have in the main not been critical thinkers of late, Nov 4 2014 proved that to me. By the way she is all flash, not an ounce of substance/integrity/intelligence to her.
