Sarah Palin sorry for stealing Mitt Romney's thunder
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin apologized Sunday for upstaging Republican Mitt Romney's formal campaign announcement last week.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said she didn't mean to step on Romney's toes when her bus rolled into a nearby town just as Romney was making his presidential candidacy formal at a New Hampshire farm.

"I apologize if I stepped on any of that PR that Mitt Romney needed or wanted that day," Palin, a paid commentator for Fox, told "Fox News Sunday."

A Romney aide, responding to an inquiry, pointed to Romney's comment to a Fox interviewer last week, in which he denied having been bothered by Palin's actions and praised the "energy and passion" she adds to the Republican campaign.

1. Sarah...Tell Another Fib....


....What a pathological liar.... It took her 4 days to apologize like it took her 4 days to lie her way out of the Revere revisonism.

2. Sarah would have stolen

11. LOL
I'm picturing Palin on a horse riding into town hold the reins in one hand and waving a hand bell in the other and hollering "I'm coming, I'm coming, here I am LOOK AT ME!" and it's funnier than hell! LOL :)

4. Sure, she is
She's acquired the status of Republicon kingmaker, and if her buddy, Michelle Bachmann can manuever herself into position, Caribou Barbie will have the status she really wants: The ability to dictate Executive power, while still sucking down a multi-million dollar salary from Faux Snooze, while not being held directly responsible for the blame.

Last week, Palin showed that she could muscle Mittens Romney out of the headlines. Now that she's done that, she can use her media power to do it any time she wants to. Of course, an apology is part of the strategy.

6. She has no reason to apologize
It might be sarcasm on her part, but it's Mitt's fault that he cannot keep anyone's attention.

7. I can't wait for the Republican primary season to open and the debates. When
Romney and Snowdrift Snookie go after one another, the resulting spectacle will make Hitler's Night of Long Knives look like kindergarten :)

8. As both Romney and Palin are shown saying things I post.
So really not buying into the 'reality' of the news.

:shrug:

I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.


And I am not Republican, so it is obviously a joke that they try to take stuff, or say the same things, that I say and use it for things I think are wrong, and can argue as wrong.

Not worried about it.

Although someone is going to send the beer and travel money that is due.


I think Mit is easy to understand, he was taught a way life is suppose to be, has never spent time thinking about it, and so is not that deep, since he has what is what all figured out as far as he is concerned.

I imagine him saying, socks have to go in the right drawer, boxers in the left drawer. Then if you ask why, he would say, becuase socks have to go in the right drawer, boxers in the left drawer.

And he would probably go nuts if you kept moving them around. He would be really easy to mess with.

Although I figure he is a decent person and all, the comments about him from some, probably come from him never really having anything but a conformist view, and from that no real growth of perspective.

Thats my guess on Romney.

21. That does not mean I have to judge him for it.
Maybe he is, maybe he is not.

I do know I am due beer and travel money.

And did you learn anything from this song?

22. No, you don't have to judge him. But you don't have to say he's a nice person either.

20. "I apologize IF......." Ok can we agree that a real apology doesn't include "if "?
Being socially stunted, Sarah would not know that of course, but at least reporters could note that most people are not going to accept an apology that begins with "if" to be real.
