How Obama Got Elected

YouTube - Sarah Palin Takes On The Media!! Exclusive Interview for "Media Malpractice"


WASHINGTON – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is questioning whether Caroline Kennedy is getting better treatment from the press in her bid for a Senate seat from New York than the battering she says she received as John McCain's running mate on the Republican presidential ticket.

"I've been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope," Palin told conservative radio talk-show host and filmmaker John Ziegler. Clips from Ziegler's interview were posted on YouTube this week.

"It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be," Palin said.

New York news media have published or broadcast numerous stories containing criticism of Kennedy's lack of experience in elective office and whether she is the best choice to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been asked to join the Obama administration as secretary of state.

In a news release issued Friday, Palin's office said the governor was dismayed that her comments in the Ziegler interview were being taken out of context in the media "to create adversarial situations."

Regarding her remarks about Kennedy, Palin said: "I was not commenting at all on Caroline Kennedy as a prospective U.S. senator, but rather on the seemingly arbitrary ways in which news organizations determine the level and kind of scrutiny given to those who aspire to public office. In fact, I consider Ms. Kennedy qualified and experienced, and she could serve New York well."

In the interview, Palin criticized the news media's coverage of her and her family, telling Ziegler that CBS News anchor Katie Couric and comic actress Tina Fey had been "exploiting" her. Palin gave Couric a rare interview at the beginning of her campaign for vice president, and Fey frequently impersonated Palin on "Saturday Night Live."

Palin singled out the Couric interview as condescending, particularly a question about what she reads and, according to the governor, "What do you guys do up there?" In fact, Couric never asked that question but did press, unsuccessfully, for the governor to state specific newspapers she read, which Palin never did.

Palin also complained about reports suggesting that Trig Palin was not her son and said she was "frustrated" by rampant rumors about her and her family. However, mainstream media stayed away from such rumors, which were fueled by bloggers and others online and the supermarket tabloids.

"I wasn't believed that Trig was really my son," she said. She called it a "sad state of affairs."

"What is the double-standard here?" she asked. "Why would people choose to believe lies? What is it that drives people to believe the worst, perpetuate the worst?"

"When did we start accepting as hard news sources bloggers, anonymous bloggers especially?" she asked.

BAWWW?

[MrW]

Yeah lol ... What the fuck???

[Kael]

Cry more crazy lady.

[Stiker]

You gotta be kidding me lol

[Tristam]

She just won't go the fuck away will she?

[Elvis]

Caroline Kennedy is worse than Palin though. Kennedy presents herself well but is equally vapid.

I like how SNL "exploited" her and then she went on the show lol...

Republican's TOTALLY weren't doing this to Obama. Nope not at all lol.

Oh the ironing.

You know what, I take back my original dumbfounded response. Keep it up, this shit is gold.

[Brill Weave]

Someone needs to stick something in her mouth so she shuts the fuck up.......brb heading to Alaska.

[Deftscythe]

I guess Palin just never understood that people scrutinized her because she kept saying retarded things.

[Cephius]

Wasn't she the one who said Obama "palled around with Terrorists" and incited angry mobs of southern hicks to shout "Kill him!"?

What a fucking hypocrite. I hope she runs in 2012 so she can help the Democrats lock up the government once again.

[Muffins]

I guess Palin just never understood that people scrutinized her because she kept saying retarded things.

And this latest screed is no exception.

[Tristam]

The whole "blaming the media" thing only goes so far when you've got a 24 hour cable network and assorted radio networks who treat you with the softest of kid gloves and would pay money to kiss your ass.

Seriously Palin, say something new or get the fuck back to your job.

How Obama got elected:

People voted for him

Case closed

[0ni0n]

The scary thing is that Palin is deemed the future of GOP and will possibly run for senate and subsequently the presidency within the next decade.

[Andarvi]

Her saying that if she would have run on the democratic ticket we would have seen a completely different portrayal of her and her family. how would that even be possible? how would she even begin to campaign as a democrat with her political views? she would have to be a COMPLETELY different person. OF COURSE THE TICKET WOULD LOOK DIFFERENT. However, the country's recognition of her apparent retardation would have been the same.

Its like saying if I wasn't an asshole to everyone people wouldn't think I was such an asshole.

Caroline Kennedy is worse than Palin though. Kennedy presents herself well but is equally vapid.

While I disagree with all of this, except the presents herself well part, I don't think Caroline should get this just on the merits of her name and extremely limited experience. There are several more qualified and more experienced candidates in New York that Paterson can choose, and even some with just as big a name as hers (Andrew Cuomo).

Needs more Moose chili.

[Akiyama]

Someone needs to do to her what the guys in the Porno did to her character; stuff a cock in her mouth and make her shut the fuck up. Seriously.
