Sweet Jeebus...I just was watching the same clip via Talking Points Memo.

I'll almost starting to feel sorry for her because the McCain Camp doesn't want to take the fall for their own mess.

Yet I will continue to search out news like this and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

"She didn't accept preparation for the Katy Couric interview."

When you hear about how they actually predicted the questions she was likely to be asked and she refused to prepare for them, to then have here whining that she had been picked on by the mainstream media is quite astounding.

(As for thinking Africa was a country, that makes up for Bush thinking Nigeria was a continent )

Explains it all. Unfortunately the most ignorant people are usually those who refuse to accept they are ignorant, and refuse to accept that they could improve themselves. She really is the architect of her own misfortune.

the likes of malkin are trying to pass off her stupidity as 'instant trivia', saying that 'character counts' more. because she's shown herself to be of such good character...

Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama

The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.

Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: "Why would they try to make people hate us?"

The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin's credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.

Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."

Irate John McCain aides, who blame Mrs Palin for losing the election, claim Mrs Palin took it upon herself to question Mr Obama's patriotism, before the line of attack had been cleared by Mr McCain.

Just another reason to loathe this vile woman.

Gov. Palin likes to keep it real...real dumb.

Andrew Sullivan has been rightly tough on Palin. I only begun reading his website since about 3 months ago. I truly had no idea he was fairly conservative.

Yes, the sensible end of it! If more conservatism resembled the Sullivan template, the brand would be much less toxic.

Particularly liked this:

It was a final product of the now-exhausted strategy of fomenting fundamentalist resentment to elect politicians dedicated to the defense of Israel and the extension of American military hegemony in every corner of the globe. Palin was the reductio ad absurdum of this mindset: a mannequin candidate, easily controlled ideologically, deployed to fool and corral the resentful and the frightened, removed from serious scrutiny and sold on propaganda networks like a food product.

Not sure I agree with this though:

That the press felt required to maintain a facade of normalcy for two months - and not to declare the whole thing a farce from start to finish - is a sign of their total loss of nerve.

I'd swap press for electorate, or commentators - but what else could the press have done? As it was, there were complaints that they went too far. Going further would have turned her into a martyr/victim and made them look like disruptors of the democratic process, making her even more appealing to some.

But yes, "This deluded and delusional woman still doesn't understand what happened to her; still has no self-awareness; and has never been forced to accept her obvious limitations." - unfortunately that's absolutely the impression I get too.

Yes I know it's over (for 4 years at least) but I just need to post this...

Sarah Palin Turkey Incident: Does TV Interview While Turkeys Are Slaughtered In The Background (VIDEO)

"On Thursday, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin appeared in Wasilla in order to pardon a local turkey in anticipation of Thanksgiving. This proved to be a slightly absurd but ultimately unremarkable event. But what came next was positively surreal. After the pardon Palin proceeded to do an interview with a local TV station while the turkeys were being SLAUGHTERED in the background!!"

Seriously, the comedy just never ends.
(unless you happen to be the turkey)

It's pretty magical that she's actually saying "you need a little levity in this job" as a turkey is dying in the background.

And a rare moment of Palin being right as she mentions that she'll "probably invite criticism by doing this"

Crazy stuff.

I'm not in the know of the turkey symbolism.

Jive turkeys? Come now, boys, fill me in.
