she was appointed VP candidate elect. she wasn't running for anything. the media in there wisdom made her obama's opponent. So you would feel as if you had a choice. you are all blithering idiots. fools in the biblical sense and retards in the most scientific sense. so like the woman said, how is that changy thingy workin out for ya? bing bing.
@photo dharma i have always avoided any author that committed suicide as being a closet nut job not worthy of my entertainment hour. unfortunately they always make the best seller list and so im sure you can tell me their names having committed their words and rhymes to memory. of course im just rambling but you seem to think life is all about reading. how boring can ones life be that the written word is more fun than life.
@photodharma Umm no. The man passed away of cancer in his 70's. People like you sicken me. Not only are you stupid, you are self righteous and probably have never exerted yourself beyond a mild sweat in your life. What blatant and pitiful disrespect of a great and important figure in fitness.
@dsp1212 I grew up dirt poor, so paid my own way through college (now have 2 degrees, all with honors), sometimes working three jobs, painting houses, waiting tables, etc.. Now I am a small business owner and often work over 80 hours a week. What was that you said about me being stupid and not exerting myself?
@photodharma Oh, I was also one of the top 5 runners in my state in high school, and the only freshman to make the bicycle racing squad at Purdue my freshman year..
C.S. Lewis (at least when it comes to books on philosophy/theology) is incredibly deep, actually.
I love it that people actually try THIS hard in finding something to make fun of about her. Poking fun at her because she likes a guy who wrote for Runner's World? Umm... who cares?
I talked to Dr George Sheehan many times in the Rumson, Fair Haven and Red Bank areas. After area races or in restaurants, this great cardiologist/runner/author/speaker ALWAYS had time to talk and ask for advice. God bless the "Running Doc."
..honestly ..if the Republican party seriously wants to get back into the White House..it will NOT be supporting a Palin bid in 2012..to be fair..there's probably a role for her somewhere in Washington..but as President..?? ..let's get real..
Dr George Sheehan was a great doctor/runner/philosopher whose many books & articles for Runners World were widely read & hugely popular with runners & non-runners alike.
He sadly passed far before his time.
Ms Palin flies quite low on my radar..however respect the fact she has read Sheehan's stuff & runs..there is hope for the lady..!
George Sheehan was no great writer, sorry. I say that as someone who read a lot of his stuff and a runner. Jim Fixx was a far more talented writer if you care to go with writers in that genre. BTW, Harry Potter books are great writing and stimulate the imagination far more than the stuff Sheehan wrote about.
Sarah Palin was quoted in current Runner's World complaining how the McCain campaign wouldn't schedule enough time for her to do daily jogging. God, that's silly.
...I beg to differ ..Dr George Sheehan was a great doctor/runner/philosopher - his books & numerous articles for Runners World were widely read & hugely popular with runners & non-runners alike...Sarah Palin flies very low on my radar..however respect the fact she has read Sheehan's books & runs..there is hope..!
@robertmike57 How is fantasy Harry Potter compared to real writting exactly? George's work I think inspires more than just runners though I own both of their works. I am a cyclist but am a bigger fan of george actually working towards buying a complete set of autographed books as i can find them.
Wow, she sounded intelligent and insightful here...just answering a question asked and yet even that was made out like she said something stupid. I would like to remind everyone that Obama's favorite book is Harry Potter LOL. Now he is running our country, no wonder all his followers are just as unrealistic as he is, you are all part of the same middle school minded genre. LOL, fucking morons. Anyway, Sarah is beautiful!
Harry Potter, if you read it, has a lot more to it than what meets the eye. There is a LOT of scholarly work being done on it. Better than citing an columnists who wrote for Runner's World, when asked for AUTHORS as in books. And also C.S. Lewis DID write some children's books. No wonder you're an idiot.
What books a person read does tell us something about them. But I think more telling is how intelligently you can speak about those books and what you gained from them.
In this video Palin comes across as not quite as intelligent as the average 12 year old, but more intelligent than she does in a lot of her other interveiws.
Yes, this is a very intelligent way to convince me to vote for Obama the Messiah. I notice how they cut the tape after 7 seconds of the CS Lewis comment, but let it run for the other author. How sophisticated. Yes, I will vote for Obama simply because of this brilliant video.....not. Grow up people. Vote on real issues, no matter who the candidate is, not on fake juvenile commercials.
Thank you maganmm111. I agree! I have a feeling that Gov. Palin doesn't have time to sit around reading books. She is busy listening to constituents and reading their letters, getting to know the workings of big oil, etc. There is a book about how she negotiated with big oil to help Alaskans that is out this month by Petroleum News.
Actually, George Sheehan's NY Times bestseller "Running & Being" remains today (30 yrs after it was published) one of the top-selling sports non-fiction books in history. Bill Clinton frequently cited Sheehan as one of his favorite writers. You guys need to put down the pipe and the bottle of wine and get out more -- where people are working out and staying in shape.
...proving that the makers of this video know little or nothing about Dr. Sheehan. I plan to vote Obama, but I'll have many better reasons than because someone who's never heard of George Sheehan thinks Sarah Palin's a lightweight because she likes his writing.
Nice job thinking of the big word "capsulate". However, not a very good job at using it correctly.

Sheehan was the guy who pushed running, then died of a heart attack while running, no?
Christ...why didn't she just pick A.A. Milne and Dr. Seus?
Oh...that stuff is probably too complicated for her to read...nevermind.
