Sarah Palin Interview on CNN with Wolf Blitzer - Part 1 of 2

[theangelwolf1]

Sarah Palin is a wolf-killing bitch

[oopscanada]

I don't understand the criticism. She spoke well in this segment. I wish she would have spoken like that eaelier during the campaign. Hey it's 2010 and this past christmas there was a terrorist attempt. Hum... You atheists might hate this. But Bush was doing something right.

[MittenzandCash8929]

No-one should have the freakenn right to kill a beutiful amazing creature.... jsut to hunt more elk? shes fucking crewedi n the head

[crazymelika]

this dumb bitch sarah palin stands on her terrorists comments she is such a polarizing and disgusting person her and her husband are so unpatriotic because they have connections to people who want to have alaska as their own country she has connections to coorperate criminals and many other bad people SHE IS A DISGRACE TO AMERICA!!!!!

[thiswaythat]

Sarah, I am a fan, but you need to just answer the question. Do YOU believe in the bailout of the autos?? It is your personal opinion. I had mine from the start! NO!

We were lied to from the start and now both are in bankruptcy.

Do agree with the $700B bailout? Not good.

Oh well, I thought you would be a leader for conservatives, but you are talking like Bush in his second term.

[LandofDaFree]

You are absoluely right. The only defense I would offer is that this interview was conducted on November 12.

Palin has been on the right side of this issue since being able to speak on her own behalf and not part of the McCain campaign.

[olTOml24]

LOL - "you're not a hasbeen, a lot of people know that."

[Kibaslash]

"What people DO know, however, is that you're a savage barbarian who supports killing wolves"

[Kibaslash]

BTW, that last comment was directed at Palin, not you. XD

[jmspflw]

Sarah is giving better interviews all the time. She's great, we certanily need some ethics in govt.

[selfexplanatorz]

no she is brainless and incompetent and a complete waffler

[johnsde1]

This cow still does not get it

[happybee8]

Governor Palin is intellgent, honorable and ethical. She is the best of America.

[002dk]

Have you seen the news?, Interviews? or her at all?. She does not adress a single point, talks around and about them all. She still think that Obama have close relation ship with Ayers.

Such a dumb person should not be allowed to become the vice president!.

Dumbest thing: Talking about the 'real america'

[Patrusha937]

"She is the best of America." - if that's true, I'll pretty much give up on the country right now.

[rede77]

Sarah the scattered brained, run on sentence queen. Yeah!

[tzivyabelinfante]

aaaawwllsooo

[stevlic]

If I suffered from Palin Derangement Syndrome, I wouldn't want to deal with Land either.  He actually knows what he's talking about.

[JPAtexas]

Perhaps landofdafree could take a wee break and give everyone else a chance to discuss their thoughts?

[TheObserver81]

So what is your brilliant thought, Einstein?

[Z200a]

LOL, I love how Sarah Palin is ready to help the terrorist and America-hater, Barack Obama.

[LandofDaFree]

Which part do you have a problem with: wanting to support our President because she loves our country, or that Barack Obama chaired an organization founded by a unrepentant terrorist?

[leftybigguns]

Walter Annenberg founded the organization you're referring to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). Obama and Ayers were both on the board.

[Hegemoner]

So now she has "wisdom and experience" to impart? Wow, now that is overwhelming chutzpah if ever I saw it! Loved the "shout out" to Bush for his great job in protecting us! Absolutely, hilariously moronic.

[LandofDaFree]

Here's what liberal feminist Camille Paglia said about Sarah Palin: "As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is...and, quite frankly, I think the people who don't see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma." If the worn-out partisan dogma fits, wear it.

[hodakocholo]

Oh! For God sake. Breath lady! Breath, think and talk. Also , also ,also

idiot!

[minikkutty]

And my comments are getting deleted .Nice.

[LandofDaFree]

There are 10 comments from you just on this video in the last 24 hours. What are you talking about?

[francisthelaw]

she should seriously reconsider stopping the interviews, she's getting chewed alive by her own words...

[ny007ny]

She has accomplished alot compared to what people give her credit for.

[minikkutty]

U r wrong ,the selection is based on composition ability or grades .

[minikkutty]

well i mean editor not president .

[minikkutty]

Let me clarify .Obama was selected as an editor of the law review based on grades and composition skill in the first year .Then elected as the president in the second year .Hope that is clear .

[LandofDaFree]

Thank you for recognizing that the President of the Harvard Law Review is chosen through a popular election. See we're making progress.

[minikkutty]

still ,he was editor before which he got by merit .

[LandofDaFree]

Yes, 1 or 80 editors. That's correct.

[minikkutty]

Not a big deal .Okay ,so what made him so popular to win the presdiency the very next year if he was just another one .And that too the first black man in 104 years.

[LandofDaFree]

Barack Obama is a great campaigner. He's one of the greatest campaigners in the history of the country. He's just a little short on actual acheivements outside of writing autobiographies. I hope this time it's different because America needs him to be successful.

[TommyWaters]

Yeah I guess he wasn't voted Chicago state senator & wrote over 20 pieces of legislation in his time in that position? He also wasn't voted as a U.S. Senator either huh? He wasn't tapped to work on ethics reform was he?

Aside from that, he didn't graduate magna cum laude from Harvard with a Juris Doctor? He wasn't voted president of the Harvard Law Review???

Yeah, you're right, he is a little short on actual achievements.

[LandofDaFree]

As one of his constituents in Illinois, I can tell you without equivocation that he has achieved nothing in the state or US Senate. Ethics Reform? Illinois politicians are the most corrupt in the country. Our last governor is in prison, our current governor and one of Obama's top fundraisers, Tony Rezko, are on their way. Cook County has the highest taxes in the nation and they STILL can't pay their bills. Our public schools are terrible and more people are killed in Chicago than Baghdad.

[testing88534]

LandofDaFree, I would disagree with that statement about IIinois and corruption. Alaska is actually the most corrupt because of the oil money that is made, also, Ted Stevenson is on corruption charges, Palin has some corruption charges, and many other politicians before her in Alaska have been accused of a variety of corruption charges. Look it up.

[LandofDaFree]

That's just ridiculous. Spoken like a true Obamot. For every Ted Stevens (if you're going to ask people to look something up, you may want to get the names right), there are about 10 indicted politicians in Chicago. The only thing that surpasses your ignorance is your total lack of objectivity.

[LandofDaFree]

Regarding how he was voted in - he was elected to the state senate by having all his opponents thrown off the ballot. He ran unopposed. He won the U.S. Senate primary when his opponent's sealed divorce records were released, and then he won the general election when his Republican opponent's sealed divorce records were released. What a coincidence !!!

[octanetube]

He sponsored, in the first eight years of his elected service in the Illinois Legislature, more than 820 bills. In his first year in the US Senate, he authored 152 and co-sponsored another 427 bills. These included the Colburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006,

[octanetube]

(continued) :The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, 2007 Government Ethics Bill and Protection Against Excessive Compensation Bill. In all since entering the U.S. Senate, Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1,096.

[LandofDaFree]

Yeah, the Lugar-Obama nuclear non-proliferation act was such a big deal that it didn't even make a single newspaper the day it was passed, there was no vote on it (passed by voice acclamation). He can talk about himself, he can write about himself and that's about it. The next four years will show what he can do, and I hope he does very well because the country needs him to succeed.

[minikkutty]

By the way u seem to be a person who gives so much imporatance to the spellings and education .What is ur opinion about Harvard law school ?

[LandofDaFree]

Harvard? Where George Bush earned his Masters in Business Administration? You tell me. BTW, I only make spelling an issue for people accusing other people of being dumb.

[minikkutty]

Ofcourse there may be exceptions .But the one who was selected as the president of Law review can't be that dumb .Again i just wanted to say that people in glass houses...

[LandofDaFree]

The President of the Harvard Law Review is chosen through a popular election, it's not based on merit or academic achievement.

[commonman80]

Sarah Palin appeals to the DING BATT VOTER. You know the ones who think,(huuuum, I like her because she's a DUMB ASS like me.) Voters.

[LandofDaFree]

...and what candidate did people who can't spell three letter words like "bat" vote for?

[minikkutty]

Let me guess ,the one who can't say word nuclear properly and says nucular .

[commonman80]

LandofDaFree, The term DING BATT is not a LEGITIMAT part of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE. It's like saying DUMB ASS. What human has a DUMB ASS as part of thier body. It's SLANG. You can spell it ANY WAY you want. SATIRE IS FUN.

DUMB ASS. LOLOLOLOLOLO!!!!

[LandofDaFree]

Is LEGITIMAT slang for "legitimate"? Two strikes. Keep trying.

[orpheeeuridice]

Many here are so scary with their Messiah...

GO SARAH

[minikkutty]

Indeed .Liberals are scared of her .I can very well imagine if there is a debate between Sarah and Obama ,she would wiped the floor with Obama with her overflowing ideas .

[Debsview]

Please please please just go back to ALASKA and STAY THERE!!!! It makes me wonder everytime you speak if that's what you call it how in the hell you got elected to be a Governor and it makes me question the education level in Alaska and the people who elected you!

[Laramas]

Everyone remember when Obama won and this moron never got her chance at the White House?

Yeah...that was great. :)

[jack433]

Wasn't Wolf scared of low flying helicopters?

[sonomaman21]

3:29 - "I don't want to point fingers backwards and play the blame game."

If you point fingers backwards, aren't you pointing at yourself? Just a thought.

[shortpantskulat]

it is so hard to listen to her ramble and dither .....

[oakeysmokey]

Sarah Palin hasn't suddenly gained any credibility. She is still a stupid moron with no intellectual curiosity.

[blackjackdown]

She said i wish there were more hours in the day for more talking to regular people of america as to one thing she can do different in the campaign. Listen to more rambling. hell nah. bring on obama 2009 baby and the hell with this bimbo.

[sonney87]

This woman is an idiot who speaks in fragmented sentences? she pronounces the country of IRAQ EYERAK and IRAN EYERAN , thats like calling ITALIANS EYETALIANS. Learn to pronounce the country you have invaded properly and the one you wantto as well, she has no knowledge of the world financial system,foreign policy, domestic policy etc,etc. Please run again in 2012 so the Demoracts win! and then retire in the sunset back to WASILA!

[showdiva99]

she is like a dog with a bone... keep chewing on it palin and you will dig your grave.

And, like the red necks that showed up with monkeys just loved little kids and brought those toys for little special needs kids.

I just hope the pubs keep promoting this bimbo.  It means obama '12!!!

[whatevs226]

what's with all her 'shout outs'? that crusty old 'shout out' expression just make it's way up to alaska? giving prez bush a 'shout out'...? she's as not-smart as she was 2 weeks ago....i don't see her brain enlarging anytime soon...

[melbel32]

"she's as not-smart as she was 2 weeks ago"

hmmmm no comment hahah

[whatevs226]

melbel32 : ha ha...that was my 'humourous' attempt at bastardizing the english language, palin-like... :)

[ozziepenguin]

As if Omaha would ask this idiot to do anything!!!

[ozziepenguin]

Oops, sorry, I meant Obama.

[skydogz1]

Palin who is gracious and wise. So glad she's doing the interviews.

Palin 2012!

[ironchopsticks]

i guess trig inherited down syndrome from mom.

[TroyShellie]

Dear Mrs. Palin,

GOD IS DEAD AND nobody cares!! Seperation of CHURCH and STATE!!!!

[LandofDaFree]

Is "GOD IS DEAD" the official position of President Obama? Does it bother you when he talks about his Christian faith?

[deshonlive]

"someone explain to me, exactly what is it that the VP does everyday"

Lets believe her in that was a joke. Why is she then following up with the "the VP has control and power over the senate"?

I'm Canadian and took 30 seconds 7 years ago and researched the responsibilities after Cheney got in. Its 4 points and pretty clear. Your gonna have a tough time backing a woman applying for a job but doesn't understand the definition of the position. LOL

[LandofDaFree]

Her point was she does more as a Governor than a VP does. Traditionally, all VPs do is attend funerals and cut ribbons at grand openings.

[08Dariana]

"all VPs do is attend funerals and cut ribbons at grand openings."

Erm I disagree.

But I think someone of your intelligent knows this already.

She did pretty well, but her (bad)image will not be forgotten.

[minikkutty]

Okay some really believe that she can be the president.Lets see,how she will conduct her campaign in 2012 and interviews ,debates etc .We can wait.

[troublesomecreek]

Sarah Palin's gonna "progress" America with "responsibility" HA HA HA! Fuckin' LOSER!!!

[Jadezoo]

This woman is a fucking joke.

A national embarrassment.

[OrcaAzure]

If america wanted a "pretty" woman to be in office, Mary Carey would be governor of California. Unfortunately for Palin, she's not good looking and that mouth of hers has been sucking on Republicans, Bibles, and moose guts a little too much.

[deshonlive]

People like you adore Palin cause it makes you think that hey, maybe I can get somewhere in this life. The problem is, people like you and Sarah Palin shouldn't be in positions of power as you/her don't have the expetise to be successful. She has a 65% disapproval. She is an over the top chrisitian. She contridicts herself in every speech. She was a pawn that back fired in the republicians face. She still doesn't understand the responsibilities of the VP. She thinks a VP controls the senate.

[LandofDaFree]

Your entire comment is a mess. CNN just came out with a poll that said her approval was at 49% - how can she have a 65% disapproval rating? The VP presides over the Senate, read your constitution. Her understanding of the VP role and what she said she would do as VP did not differ from what Joe Biden said he would do.

[minikkutty]

I have no problem with Palin.But once the person who refused to talk to the media is now after the media .Reason?

[LandofDaFree]

You're a little off on your criticism. Palin didn't refuse to talk to the media, the McCain campaign refused to let her do more media. She actually tried to schedule her own interviews - and they said she was "going rogue". Now that she is free to do what she wants, she is obviously comfortable talking to anyone.

[jennizlikewhoaa]

First she says she wants to work with Obama, then she says that she is worried about his associations. WTF are you doing, Sarah?? Stop talking shit. You lost because you are a shit talking moron. Go back to Alaska.

[deshonlive]

Rheteric: 5:10-%:14.

[deshonlive]

What a dick ryder. Why would you want to work with someone that you say pals around with terrorists.

[LandofDaFree]

So you criticize her for being critical of Obama, and you also criticize her for putting those differences aside for the good of the country. Do you prefer that she try to undermine the President? Do you want her to continue to criticize him? She loves her country and has put the campaign behind her - you should try it.

[TavernWenchBlog]

LandofDaFree.... Palin's put the campaign behind her? Coulda fooled me! This idiot's been on my television every freaking day since Election Day! It's gotten to the point where even the Morning Joe crew is laughing out loud at her. Where's she going to pop up next? Rachel Ray? Maybe she'll start doing Puppet Shows! State Fairs! Webcasts! Star Trek Conventions!!! LOL!

[LandofDaFree]

Obviously a lot of people are very interested in her - like you for example.

[TavernWenchBlog]

Well, the newspeople been going on and on this morning about how awful this Wolf Blitzer-Sarah Palin interview was, so I had to go find it, and thank you for posting it... no wonder everybody's talking about it! Ha!

[tlparks]

Dear Republicans,

Yes! We are very interested in Sarah Palin. We want to make sure you see how valuable we think she is to your party. Please make her your standard bearer. Please make sure she runs for president. PLEASE.

Sincerely,

The Democrats

[deshonlive]

Palin contradicts herself on a consistently. Bridge to nowhere/a regular hockey mom. Buying 150k in gear and flip/floppin on the bridge. He pals around with terrorists and we should be scared. Now she's on his dick. She was found guilty of abuse of power, she says "I am glad I was found innocent and can move on". Im not talking about her experience and lack of knowlegdge of simple policitcal issues. She only got where she was on looks and is apparent cause it aint because of her brain.

[LandofDaFree]

You should probably do some more reading. Sarah Palin was cleared of all wrong doing by the special prosecutor investigating that case the day before the election. She didn't buy $150K worth of anything - the McCain campaign did. They bought the clothes, she didn't go shopping, the only thing she asked the campaign for was diet soda. I can see why you're so confused though - you're obviously obsessed with they way she looks.

[deshonlive]

Head your own advise. Your listening to Palin's rheteric and not reading anything. Who own campaign staff pointed out her buying Louie bags for the younger daughter. The special prosecutor was appointed by staff that she hired previously as govenor. Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. What about her lack of supreme court rulings or simple magazines she reads to keep in touch. This are simple things that someone heading for the head of a ticket should know.

[LandofDaFree]

Please, a 7 year old's purse. You're willing to believe anything about Palin, regardless of how ridiclous it is, because you want to. You either have no critical thinking skills or refuse to use them. For example, what was the name of the campaign staffer that said she was buying purses for her daughter? Do you choose to believe that report, or the reports that the purse was fake?  Here is the answer - it doesn't matter.

[deshonlive]

Its not hard to believe as her and McCain contridict themselves at every turn.Shes about reform and no earmarks but was for the largest earmark spending embarrassment in US history.When a compaign advisor says she didn't know that Africa was not a country, that she bought a LV purse for her daughter and didn't want to prep for the Curic interview we should have doubts!? What Supreme court rulings do you disagree with?

"UHHHH".

What magazines do you read to keep up with events? "ALL OF THEM".

[LandofDaFree]

Yes, you should have doubts about everything reported by the MSM. Otherwise, you're a sheep. You should be able to figure out what does and does not make sense using your own critical thinking skills. You should be especially skeptical when "unnamed" sources are doing the attacking and all the people on the record are calling the claims absurd.

[deshonlive]

This clothes issue is another contridiction. Your missing the god dam point. It doesn't matter if its her money or not. She can afford 150k on gear. Its the fact that shes 'fightn' for good ol joe' but walking around with 150k in wardrobe. Are you unclear of the contridiction there? She's an ordinary attractive white woman who went to 5 schools for journalism. Now president in 2012. America will be passing the baton as the main superpower shortly with your trillion dollar debt.

[LandofDaFree]

Yes, if you think she actually wore $150,000 worth of clothes, you're a fool. I don't care what the RNC spends their money on. Using your "logic", Obama throwing a $3 million party on Election night is a contradiction to fighting for the middle class. BTW, those dollar amounts aren't even comparable.

[minikkutty]

She accused Obama for pallin around with terrorists ,now she is working with Obama means she is pallin around with a person who was pallin around with terrorists .How about that ?

[LandofDaFree]

What part of that do you have a problem with: having a President who worked with terrorists or Palin wanting to work with our President? Do you want Obama to step down from the Presidency or do you want Sarah Palin to work against our President?

[tlparks]

Dear minikkutty,

Ixnay on the utdownpay's. We WANT Sarah to be the darling of the Republican party. We WANT her to be their standard bearer. We really, really, really want her to run for president in 2012. She is the BEST!

Sincerely,

The Democrats

[TavernWenchBlog]

This woman is a babbling brook of incoherent non-responses. She talks in circles to cover up her utter lack of knowledge on the issues of the day. She gives me a headache. Has there ever been a more typical politician than Sarah Palin?? God Bless America... we really dodged a bullet with this one!

[tlparks]

Speaking for democrats everywhere... Republicans, please, please, please put Sarah in charge of your party and do everything you can to make sure she runs for president... PLEASE.

[Ridinhighlaynlow]

The top 0.1% have more money than the bottom 50%. I think if they don't start giving some back, people are gonna start taking it.

[dhhcj]

I thought she did well here

[Guaguanco11]

I wonder what goes through her head? Does she ever think Maybe Im just not cut out for holding a high political office? Or is she unaware of her obvious inadequacies (i.e. her inability to express herself clearly, her poor knowledge on public policy issues, and her lack of humility)? If I was put in a position well beyond my ability I hope I would at least have the wisdom to realise this and remove myself. Because of the failure of such wisdom in her case, I genuinely feel sorry for her.

[thearcher1980]

A tv reporter said that Wolf took along his mother to meet Sarah. How cute!

[kkinski2000]

"How do you feel about having the first black president? - Oh, it's an opportunity to work together."

What kind of fucking retarded response is that??

[armyofonerd]

Maybe you should listen to part 2 if you are only looking for credit towards having the first black president and there you will see credit being given.

[silverandblack68]

Perfect last question and a typical answer. Anyone that can't see and admit their own fault will never learn. Palin is a one trick pony. Unfortunatly some Americans admire her for what reason. Stupidity? Bush was the posterchild for Stupidity and he was 8 years the President now that is scary.

[silverandblack68]

Palin knows nothing about Energy. I wish someone would ask her Energy based questions such as Palin you profess to be an expert on energy what is a BTU conversion? Failin Palin the Fraud.

[LandofDaFree]

Ha. Does that question make you feel smart?So you know more about energy than someone who served on the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission? So you would be better at challenging Exxon Mobil, BP, and Connoco Phillips to get more revenue for your state? So you would be able to get a natural gas pipleine built? I know you need to think you're smarter than Sarah Palin - but you're not. Too bad for you.

[deshonlive]

Why is she still having trouble understanding what a VP does? Shes had 2 months 2 memorize the 4 points in the constitution. Its not control of the senate and power to create laws. Shes still having trouble ansering a question without rambling on with memorized lines from her coaching sessions. I sure hope republicians put her forward. Imagine her trying to solve this economic situation you guys are in? She went to 5 different schools to study journalism and she can't answer questions correctly?

[QueenOfTheMaggots]

The only person here that isn't smarter than Palin is you

[Euranell]

Somebody shoot that dumb hick bitch

[LandofDaFree]

Is this Keith Olberman? Andrew Sullivan? Christopher Hitchens? Please post your full name and address when you threaten someone. It makes it easier for the police to come and lock you up. You're such a worthless coward.

[snorp73]

I love her! She's the only one who during the campaign (during the VP debate) and now talks about personal responsibility among Americans as well. Not buying a home that's way beyond our means, not running up high-interest credit cards...etc. That's the heart of all the economic crisis now. Government cannot come in and save us as consumers and it cannot go in and save corporations. Low taxes across the board with a responsible base of Americans is always the best recipe.

[silverandblack68]

did you also LOVE how Palin didn't answer the auto industry question. It was simple but yet her answer was "i'm listening to the debate right now" wtf thats a non George Bush answer. Dodge the question and provide no solution. 2 weeks from now 2 months from now she will not have anymore of a solution until she is spoonfed what to say.

[oakeysmokey]

do you realize her home was built for free by contractors that were hired to build the hockey rink? She is a fruad and a joke of a politician.

[snorp73]

Somehow that one escaped even MSNBC. Wow.

[snorp73]

Palin/Jindal 2008!

Think about it guys, why are the Democrats STILL trying to kill her?

[MrBloody32]

I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin, but she seems particularly likable and well-spoken in this interview. Maybe it's because I love Wolf Blitzer and his "Blitzy-ness" rubbed off on her, lol.

[ChoseMyPoison]

Why won't she just STFU?

[hammerguy1512]

I feel dumber everytime I listen to this lady

[kaeme]

It's true. Power dressing like she does only makes her look stupid when combined with her rambling answers. America doesn't need a Canadian soccer mom for president.

[kaeme]

That said, there is a good track record for electing retarded hillbillies for President.

[jimijackson]

yes lets reach out...the same person who didnt reach out when she was so willing to label him as a terrorist

[lillianruiz]

Sara be strong. U are gonna make it, next time.

[cricketlover1117]

sarah, i hope you run in 2012. it'll just make reelection of obama even easier.

[genie283]

Oh she's strong...there are just a lot of Haters out there. Like I said OB is president now... I don't see why they are all still so mad. Didn't they get what they wanted? Why all the hate??

[yweston]

genie283

Bcuz, as an African American woman, I believe she came out of nowhere & began feeding racial hatred. People were shouting "kill him" & "off with his head". She didn't try 2 stop any of it.  What about Todd's association with the AIP party? What about succession from the U.S. The founder of the Party was killed while involved in illegal activities. What about her associations? She told the party earlier 2 "keep up the good work". What's up with the contractor who built her house?

[kkinski2000]

Because she just isn't smart enough to be in politics. Period.
