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 (See: POLITICO's 2012 Live) The still-unpublished manuscript, obtained by POLITICO, reveals Palin, as a candidate for governor, penning letters-to-the-editor in praise of herself, to be sent under other names.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.”

You could be right. Her polling numbers in Alaska are worse than Obamas. "New Palin Poll Numbers in Alaska The Alaska GOP’s favorite pollster Dave Dittman has come out with some new numbers about our ex-almost-one-term governor. How many of them would like to see her run for President of the United States? What percentage of Alaskans think that the woman who couldn’t even survive one term as the governor of half a million people should run the country? It would appear that it’s 17%. That would leave 83% of Alaskans who think that’s a bad bad idea. BUT, I would submit to you that I know many progressive Alaskans who would love Palin to run for president. Their little eyes get all twinkly, and they look like someone has just asked them if they want a piece of cake. A Palin candidacy, they tell me, assures another four years of a Democratic White House."
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.

As well as the idiots who pay out big bucks to hear her speak. You can't get much dumber than that.
How about the ones that buy her book?
+1
You don't know diddly squat, skidmark.
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.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
LOL!! I would hate to be slimed buy liberal/socialist slugs too. 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.
LOL! WERD! These slack jawed drooling libTURD PDS insane azz wipes are so stupid that they can't see that they are making Governor Palin richer and more famous and more powerful among the American people with their spit flecked insanity! It CRACKS me up! She can play these retards like a piano. She says jump and they say how high?

Confidante? That's a fookin joke, isn't it?
And Joe Miller was the first slug she stomped by endorsing him.

That's how you refer to a West Point graduate, an Armored Division officer, Iraq war veteran and Bronze Star recipient? You are a real classless asshole, go65.
You wretched libTURD whore. You aren't fit to carry Joe Miller's jock strap you vile cunt. I piss on you and your libTURD ilk.

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.

Who is the recipient of your taxes?
That really is childish.
LOL! Did you ever notice that none of these wannabe cheechakos ever mentions what state that they live in? Do you think that any of these losers even knows what "Federalism" means? Pitiful.

LoL. Being a Palin supporter means it's always someone else's fault.

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?

Give old eskimo a break. At 75, he's been living off the government for so long he doesn't even realize he's doing it any more.
"I hate this damn job" - Sarah Palin
They probably live in a socialist hell hole and do not want to be laughed at. Their childish innuendo concerning Alaska is likely just some bizarre extension of their irrational hatred for Palin.
I've noted several times that I live in Virginia, where our Tea Party governor just gave teachers a 2% bonus. Where I don't live, however, is in a state that taxes profits of privately held companies just to distribute to other state residents on the basis that "everyone owns the national resources" You know, there's a word for that - I believe it's SOCIALISM!
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
There is a word for disinformationist too, or are you just fookin ignorant?
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.
LOL!! You must be really frustrated.
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.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
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.
To the uninformed. You really are a liberal dumbass.
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.

OR maybe you could explain to us lower 48ers why you guys up there were so eager to foist Palin off on the rest of us?

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?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
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.
LOL!! Your paranoia borders on the psychotic. What, in hell, has you so scared stupid about this woman? The only time I hear anything about her is when some liberal/socialist political stooge attacks her for trivial nonsense like building a fence. Stop trying to pi$$ her off and maybe she will stop pointing out how stupid you are for doing so.
Your talking points aside, no one's 'skeered' of her except evidently those of you who wanted her out of your government by any means possible. Why should I care to not piss off a perennial politician wannabe/public figure? She's fair game. Pubbies need to stop worshipping their politicians, it's downright unhealthy.
"http://first-draft-blog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5ced53ef0148c7a28c4b970c-320wi"
I don't have subsurface mineral rights to my land either. I think I'll demand that the Feds give me a yearly stipend. How about you giving up yours for a year and giving it to me.Or just a part of it. That way you can yell commie and actually be accurate.

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?
