Sarah Palin Looking Loony on Oprah Winfrey
By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
I've lost interest in Sarah Palin—a woman who has proven herself time and again to be not ready for prime time. But when she starts to exhibit signs of true lunacy, she gets a bit more interesting. She's done so once more in her upcoming and widely touted interview with Oprah Winfrey. My favorite part of the chat is when Palin talks about having the infamous father of her grandson, Levi Johnston, over for Thanksgiving. According to People (via MSNBC):
If Levi Johnston would like a piece of the Palin family turkey, Sarah Palin will save him a seat at her Thanksgiving table.
"It's lovely to think that he would ever even consider such a thing," the former Alaska governor, 45, tells Oprah Winfrey in an interview to air Nov. 16, the day before the publication of Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue."
"Because," she said, "he is a part of the family and you want to bring him in the fold and kind of under your wing. And he needs that, too, Oprah. I think he needs to know that he is loved and he has the most beautiful child and this can all work out for good."
Say what, Sarah? This is the guy who refused to marry her daughter, Bristol, pregnant. This is the guy who has made a career (or tried to) by telling the Palin family secrets. And they are not pretty. Just two months ago he had this to say about the ugly innards of the Palin clan:
On Sarah putting her career above her family: "Even before she was nominated [for VP] there wasn't much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn't cook, Todd doesn't cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time [my ex] Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I'd barbecue chicken or steak on the grill."
On Sarah fighting with her husband, Todd, who slept in a separate room during the Republican National Convention: "There was a lot of talk of divorce in that house ... times when Sarah and Todd would mention it and sound pretty serious."
There's one huge difference between Levi Johnston and Sarah Palin: He's believable. I'd vote for him before I'd vote for her.

The birth certificate seems "fishy"...
...only if you're a complete idiot who swallows every lie offered by a desperate right wing. Of course, maybe if you didn't *want* to believe them as desperately as the RNC wants you to believe them, you'd bother yourself to actually check into this nonsense.
As far as *hate* being unleashed, you've got to be friggin' kidding me. Look around at the bile that's spewed on a regular basis by the radical right and their appointed prophets and remember that what goes around comes around.
A woman with a giant ego
Why are we attacking Sarah Palin? We are used to seeing congressmen make asses of themselves. But when we see testosterone in women (Barbara Boxer, Sarah Palin, Nanci Pelosi, etc) we get all bent out of shape! Too much of this hormone in anyone is not pretty, but in women it's offensive. Frankly, lights go off when I hear someone runs several miles a day, field dresses moose and eats it for dinner, kicks ass and chews bubblegum, is a governor, all while running her own fishing business and raising a big family and writing a book. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it.
Media like wolf
The media is similar to a wolf pack, they can spot weakness a mile away, and zero in on the kill. But, being liberal as a group, they also seem blinded by soaring rhetoric, and promises of a rose garden. I wish they had properly vetted Obama, gotten his college grades, supervisor comments, college papers, thoughts, (anything really) as they unmercifully did with Bush. The birth certificate thing all by itself seems very fishy, too much ambiguity there for any degree of believability, this man is almost for sure not an American citizen, yet the media gave him a pass, unbelievable. His lack of leadership in making military decisions is costing American lives, and resembles his "pass" and indecision on most of the bills before him while he was in congress, yet no one seems to care. What's happened to America? He tours Europe, apologizing for America's past wherever he goes, this is personally disgusting to me, as my grandfather fought there and was wounded twice. It is also offensive to me, given our long history of liberating them from tyranny. Equally as offensive, is His close friendship and associations with people who hate America, bomb America, or expouse Marxist idealogies. Yet, the media continues to laud him with undertones of the Messiah complex. I am one American who is dismayed, mostly at our own people - what chance of survival have we as a nation, with ignorant voters, who elect officials like this?
