Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) denounced the Bush family as "blue bloods" in an interview posted Wednesday and remarked that a mentality like theirs helped to cause the economic downturn. Her comment came in response to a statement made by former first lady Barbara Bush during an interview with CNN's Larry King earlier this week. Asked for her take on Palin, Bush told King: "I think she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there." Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham followed up with Palin, asking if she thought Bush's comment had been planned ahead of time. Palin had this to say: "I don't want to sort of concede that we have to get used to this kind of thing because I think the majority of Americans don't want to put up with the blue bloods — and I say it with all due respect because I love the Bushes — but the blue bloods who want to pick and choose their winners instead of allowing competition to pick and choose the winners." She then invoked the economic crisis to explain her point. "They [blue bloods] kind of do some of this with the economic policies that were in place that got us into these economic woeful times, too," Palin said. "So I don't know if that kind of stuff is planned out but it is what it is. We deal with it, and we forge ahead and we keep doing what we're doing." She and Ingraham also discussed first lady Michelle Obama, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and Palin's daughter Bristol's experience as a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars." The interview was posted Wednesday. Listen to it here.

What's her native language? I hear more comprehensible sentences from illegal aliens.
Interview? I thought you leftwingnuts claimed she only posted on the internet. Appears you are liars, doesn't it?
