I feel sorry for your world if you think that Sarah Palin is "great"-- you should have higher role models-- her own family doesn't even listen to her-- her daughter is pregnant- she's 17!! Palin's stance on sex-ed is to teach ABSTINANCE-- the hilarity!!!

Scary that this shady individual could one day be the president of the USA.

I'm so happy to see that Frank Bailey has written a tell-all book about Sarah Palin and his time with her... he exposes the truth and takes blame for his part. One Palin book I will actually read... because I know this one is honest.

I wanna who was the 'genius' who decided to pick no-name dumbass Sarah Palin to run for Vice president? Maybe we wouldn't all be sitting here typing away about how she could very well be the next president of the USA - I dont know about you but I am very scared about 2012....Perhaps the Mayans are right...If Troopergate has taught us anything is that Palin may be dumb but she is a cunning political adversary that will do everything she can to "get you". DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER!

This little snitchy twirp is funny.

Anything that shows Palin's true colors is good but I bet she ducks any flack for Wooten until post-election. I hoped her email hacker would find the smoking guns she used on her enemies. Maybe she's just vapid enough to fizz on her own - voters will focus on McCain's crumbling faculties instead of her brand of eyeglasses - nuts. I still think Obama's only marginally the better candidate and has his own skeletons. It's as though the people who want to run the country shouldn't be allowed to.

If people want a change from the way Bush and Cheny have run this country into the ground.... they should not vote for these lying hypocritical politicians we are seeing in both McCain and his pick Palin. Imagine if McCain has a heart attack... and we are left with Palin to lead the US. She knows nothing about the economy, or foreign affairs. She knows the party line and thats about it.

Actually, it doesn't... This tape is about a government official performing an ILLEGAL act. We all know the coverup is what gets people busted. Palin is toast, and McCain is too.

WHAT WAS HE THINKING PICKING HER IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS INVESTIGATION, WHEN EVEN PALIN KNEW THAT THE SUBPOENAS WERE COMING?

Either McCain didn't fully vet her (he's an idiot), or he took a pretty big risk (he's a gambler). Neither of which are good Presidential qualities.

[firstvoiceofreason]

What does Barack Obama have to do with this tape? Sarah Palin ILLEGALLY acted outside her authority, I'm sorry, there's nothing you can say or do to spin this one!!! I smell blood.

[firstvoiceofreason]

BTW, You remind me of the argument "I don't care if there were no WMD's, IRAQ was still a good idea because Saddam was a bad guy"

[firstvoiceofreason]

Beside the point here. It was Walt Monegan's decisions, not Gov Palin's!!!

What we're all really wondering here is just HOW MUCH IS GOV PALIN a tyrant power hungry leech? She spend $50,000+ of the roads funds to renovate her office while Mayor of Wasilla. THINKS SHE's ABOVE THE LAW, does what she wants and thats the final word!!!

Do we really want another "I'm the decider" in charge?
