Title: Ex-aide's book paints harsh portrait of Sarah Palin

new memoir from an embittered former aide to Sarah Palin includes a trove of emails that vividly illustrate her intense focus on image and depiction in the media.

The emails, apparently from the former Alaska governor, portray Palin as nearly obsessed with her political adversaries and consumed with every slight, real or perceived. (See: POLITICO's 2012 Live)

The still-unpublished manuscript, obtained by POLITICO, reveals Palin, as a candidate for governor, penning letters-to-the-editor in praise of herself, to be sent under other names. It blames the candidate for inflaming, rather than ignoring, scurrilous rumors. And it quotes her pledging to avoid appearing on any network other than Fox News, referring to the rest as “the bad guys.”

Palin's personality seems to have not matured out of the high school years. She is stuck in perpetual adolescence.

LOL!! If that were true then you are admitting that even a child could become wealthy by making liberal/socialist slugs crap their panties and pi$$ away vast amounts of resources contriving childish political propaganda.

I can not believe the loony political left does not realize that Palin is making fools of them for fun and profit.

Actually she makes the voters who elected her to her half term governor internship seem more like the fools.

Nonsense. Highest approval rating ever. She left to do battle with the liberal/socialist slime who threatened to paralyze the government of the state.

Now she seems to be doing a good job of crippling the loony left for fun and profit.

You slugs pi$$ed her off. Now she has a new job, slug stomper, and you have only your own stupidity and childishness to blame for that.

LMAO!! Your stupidity is astounding. Everyone here knows Joe was slimed by you slugs who pi$$ed away enormous funds sent to this state to interfere with the political processes here. You socialist slugs are sliming the whole political landscape in a last desperate attempt to remain politically viable. Just lie down, rot, and fade away, it is your destiny, a fate you well deserve for being so stupid.

You really need to stop calling your fellow socialist state citizens such nasty names. And you should show more appreciation to the taxpayers of the lower forty eight who actually subsidize your living standards.

We can't help it if everything that comes out of your state is of such inferior quality especially your politicians.

I'm sure Eskimo sends the check he gets from oil company profits in Alaska back to the state government because accepting it would be tantamount to endorsing socialism. Right?

LOL!! I have had socialist slugs try that before. When they become frustrated with their inability to defend their madness, they jump up and shout "YOU ARE A SOCIALIST", EVERYTHING IS SOCIALISM" or some such nonsense.

You mean like you do?

Go back and read this thread and see who first invoked socialism.

Look, the reality is that the Alaska program to take profits from oil companies and distribute them to the residents of the state is about the clearest example of socialism in all these United States.

Another really childish retort.

You can not justify your madness by saying everything is socialism. You clearly do not know anything about the reason for the Alaska Permanent Fund and I doubt you even care to learn.

You can not justify your madness by saying everything is socialism

In 2008 the fund collected $6 billion in taxes from oil companies operating in Alaska, part of that was used to pay every Alaska citizen $3,200 (including a $1,200 "bonus" implemented by then Gov. Palin).

The basis for the Alaska Permanent Fund is that the government argues that Alaska's resources are collectively owned by all citizens of the state, who are thus entitled to share in the profits generated by the use of those resources. Again, that's the clearest example of socialism in all these United States.

Do you seriously want to continue this line of argument?

LOL!! You have no arguement. You are clearly delusional. Socialist slugs are insane because they can not discern the diffference between having government mercenaries extort wealth from individuals by force of arms for redistribution and any other normal business contract. The "nanny needers" are so disgustingly greedy they openly call for the armed robery of others to satiate that greed.

You can rant and rave all you want, but taking money from oil companies and giving it to those who had nothing to do with oil production because you claim that Alaska's oil is a "shared resource" is the very definition of socialism.

You can't bring yourself to admit that you support socialism since YOU directly benefit from it, can you?

LOL!! You keep childishly repeating the same stupid lie when you know damned well that no company had a gun to their head when they purchased leases in Alaska and by contract the people of Alaska are compensated for not being able to retain subsurface mineral rights on their land.

Hell, if socialist slugs are insane enough to build a political construct whose very foundation is the extortion of individual wealth by armed thugs for redistribution, I can understand why they, in their delusional state of mind, would want to redefine "socialism" in a desperate attempt to mitigate some of their shame.

By what logic does a guy working at walmart in Anchorage deserve a check for $3,200 for oil company activities on the north slope?

LOL!! Who, in hell, are you to decide who deserves what? Answer: That socialist slug with delusions of godhood who wants to steal from some at gun point and give it to those who will pay him homage. Socialist slugs are mentally ill.
