She's gotten a taste of power and fame and expensive clothing here in the lower 48, and she's not going to give them up without a fight. So instead of going quietly, as all other losing candidates do during a transition from the election to the inauguration, she's hamming it up for the camera and saying god will show her the way to the presidency.
And repeating a line often shouted by the idiot morning loudmouth Joe Scarborough, according to an interview on FOX News...
The governor also lashed out at bloggers "sitting in their parents' basement, wearing their pajamas" for some of the questions that were raised about her record and credibility.
I think it's time we set the record straight about liberal bloggers. I don't know who these people are who blog from their parents' basement (maybe they're right wingers) but Joke Scarborough has been saying this for a year, and it has now apparently become a republican talking point.
I'm a blogger and I blog from my office, in my own suburban home, and my parents are ill and in their eighties. When I'm not blogging, I'm taking care of them at their house, and in any spare time I have, trying to keep my household going. Heck, I live in California and we don't even have basements.
The main bloggers I read (and the ones read by most liberals) are Andrew Sullivan, Josh Marshall, Arianna Huffington, and Markos Moulitsos. I don't know if any of them blog while wearing pajamas. I sometimes do, but I don't think that disqualifies me from making intelligent comments. It just makes me more comfortable. But I know none of these bloggers write from the basement of their parents' homes. Andrew (who is actually a conservative) blogs for a major magazine and lives in his own residence with his spouse in D.C. Josh is married with two children. Arianna lives in a mansion in L.A and is a single mother raising two children. And Markos has two children and, like Arianna, has built an empire on line. Oh, and he has served in the military.
So the radical loonies like Morning Joke and Sarah "god is calling me" Palin may blame bloggers for their troubles, but they look foolish for doing so. The bloggers (liberal and conservative) who supported Obama, and found Palin terribly lacking as a candidate, are smack in the middle or even upper classes, highly educated and terrific writers. I guess that makes them "elitists."
Geez, I wish the wing-nuts would make up their minds. Are their worst enemies successful elitists, or losers who blog from their parents' basement?
These wing nuts need to look in the mirror for the cause of the conservative downfall. It is their ignorant, holier than thou, uneducated, black and white, trash talk culture and their failed ideology that are dying, and it is stupid statements condemning bloggers, as well as those attacking the president-elect as a "Marxist" who "pals around with terrorists" that have caused them to be rejected. And no amount of soft ball interviews in Sarah Palin's kitchen as she cooks moose stew will help her cause or that of conservatives.
These bitter people need to stop attacking and blaming and smearing and come up with a few good ideas and good candidates of their own. Because right now, if Sarah Palin is the best they've got, they're in for a long time in the wilderness.
She really needs to just shut up.
