Palin, a Uniter Wannabe, Blames the Media
:rofl: http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/11/palin_a_uniter_wannabe_blames.html

WASILLA, Alaska -- Stopping for a coffee at the Mocha Moose, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told reporters she's not sure if she'll have a role in national politics if she and Sen. John McCain don't win today's election.

"You know if there is a role in national politics, it won't be so much partisan," she said, 15 minutes after voting at the Wasilla City Hall where she once served as mayor.

"My efforts have always been here in the state of Alaska to get everybody to unite and work together," she added. "It certainly would a uniter type of roll"

Asked if she had any regrets in this campaign, Palin first said wished she had "more hours in the day so we could've gotten around to more areas of our country." She then seemed to find her preferred answer: blaming the media.

Palin said she was disappointed with much of the reporting about her.

"The state of journalism today, the world, for the blogosphere, the 2-3-hour news cycles, where just too much is reported based on gossip and innuendo and things taken out of context," she said.

She then suggested that her next role might be righting the wrongs she sees in journalism.

"I'd like to help in that effort also because I have great respect for the world for journalism."

She then said no more questions and left.

2. "Righting the wrongs in journalism" is not the job of government, esp. when it comes to
political campaigns. Hence the First Amendment. What a putz.

3. If she's talkin' she's lyin'
She has respect for journalism? Bullshit. Nothing was taken our of context in the reports that documented her racist smears. My contempt for her increases every time I hear her speak.

4. She's trying to rationalize...
...her next really shitty choice--hosting a lame show on Fox News.

Yeah Sarah, blame the media. When you look in the mirror and your hair is
sticking up and your shirt is wrinkled--do you blame the mirror?

6. Because stating that your opponent "pals around with terrorist"
is a good way to unite everyone.

7. One small observation....
If the Repukes thought they had a snowball's chance, she would NOT be in AK.

The whole freaky gang would be waiting in circled trailers outside a victory party venue.

10. Just like giving birth to baby Trig (allegedly)
she didn't want to cast her vote anywhere but dear old Wasilla. Never mind that she could have voted absentee and saved all that jet fuel flying back and forth. I understand that she is heading back down that way for election eve.
