Greta's showing some Palin special, An American woman.

Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 07:57 PM by OurVotesCount-Ohio

There was a clip done from her home, before Trig was born and she was clearly pregnant.

Dh was channel flipping and he ran across it.

edited to add: I'm wondering who did the filming back then. I'm beginning to believe she was chosen months ago.

9. Long story, big rumor that

originally came from Alaska in May that she wasn't Trig's mom and never looked pregnant. They touched on that.

Faux showed the footage of her in her home, clearly pregnant. She was going over some school papers with her youngest daughter and her husband was talking about being a Mr. Mom.

It's a piece done by Greta. DH turned it off now so I have no idea what else it showed.

4. American Woman? Like this one?

American woman, stay away from me

American women, mama let me be

Don't come hangin' around my door

I don't wanna see your face no more

I don't need your war machine

I don't need your ghetto scenes

Coloured lights can hypnotize

Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman, I said stay away

American woman, listen what i say.

6. Shes been on the list since early spring from what I can tell.

Glad the special put the baby nonsense to rest.

13. Yes, it certainly will.

That video clip had to be done in case she was chosen. I can't see any other reason they'd interview her and her husband while they were either getting ready or getting home from school/work and talking about Mr. Mom and the kids helping out.

20. This may be from a longer documentary that was being filmed about her.

From what I read she was shadowed by a filmmaker for several days with full access. I'm not sure if this is from the same time frame, but if so, he may have provided part of his footage to FOX. The bit of that that I saw had her at home, with the youngest daughter - in what looked like a kitchen table area answering questions.

21. Yes, that must be the same footage. That's what I saw, Palin

with the youngest daughter looking at some school papers. Then I saw her husband picking up some stuff in the kitchen and talking about being Mr. Mom and his going back to work. I only saw a few minutes, DH's finger never stays still for very long.

22. She was putting something pink in her daughters hair and there was

a paper to show her father later. Then there was a chunk with her talking about how she and her husband divide household responsiblities. Never saw him.

Sounds like that may be where it came from.

The filmmaker said he met her when he was doing a documentary about women in power.

23. Ahh..ok.

It just seemed too conveniently timed considering she wasn't chosen as a running mate yet, but a clip from a documentary about women in power..well that does make sense.

Do you know who else the filmmaker covered?

the original article for you.

I think it was a multi country focus, but I was following Palin leads and the other details didn't really stick.

Here is one of the links:
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3591532,00.html

I know I have another that talks about the original project and one that has the video clip in it. My eyes are beyond blurry from all the web reading I've been doing, but I'll look for the other s tomorrow. In the meantime you can probably find out more by googling his name.

15. It does not surprise me, Greta's running that special...

Especially since her husband (a former Hillary supporter) is now voting for McCain.

18. That made me laugh. It's true that she isn't prepared at all.

I just can't imagine why they'd go into the then just a governor's home to interview her and her husband about how they handle the kids. Maybe it was a just in case she's chosen.
