The other Palin profile
Ben Smith's Blog —
... Vanity Fair's not the only magazine with a Sarah Palin piece out today. Runner's World has a Q&A feature with the Alaska governor, albeit a slightly less buzzy one. Among many insights about the governor's exercise regimen, there are also a few reminiscences about the 2008 campaign: ...

Palin Says She Could Beat Obama in Race
Politics Daily —
... It's official, the 2012 presidential contest between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama has begun. Well, the sports-metaphor portion of the race has, anyway. In an interview with Runner's World magazine, the Alaska governor and presumptive GOP front-runner has laid down the gauntlet, challenging the commander-in-chief to a long-distance race: ...

Quote of the Day
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire —
"A great frustration I had during the campaign was when the McCain staff wouldn't carve out time for me to go for a run."

The interview with Runner's World is here. The slide show, by photographer Brian Adams, is here. Quite how Trig Palin is relevant to a photographic slide-show about her running habits is beyond me. But she brandishes Trig as a political pawn at every opportunity. ...
Sarah’s A Runner
The Moderate Voice —
Andrew Sullivan takes a break from the Vanity Fair fuss to point to Sarah “I’m a runner” Palin in Runner’s World.
The photo above is from photographer Brian Adams’ slide show. Sullivan quotes a Dish reader:
It’s not proper to display the flag to have it draped over a chair. Just imagine the outrage on Fox News if there was a photo of Obama and an improper display of the Stars and Stripes!

... I'm a big fan of Sarah Palin, an exemplar of the longstanding American tradition of citizen reformers. At the same time, I don't take her very seriously as a 2012 Presidential candidate. Still, there is no denying that she brings a unique dimension to our often ugly political scene. This month's Runner's World features an interview/pictorial with Governor Palin. The slide show is well worth checking out: ...

If Sanford's got a bad case of amour fou, this is haine fou -- crazy hate. Take it outside! And the woman in the middle of all this brawling is no less bitter -- we know she's still angry at Tina Fey, and, as Wonkette has noted, she took a nasty swipe at septuagenarian torture victim John McCain in her recent Runner's World interview: I used to joke around with John McCain during the ...

Palin on "Endurance"
Lawyers, Guns and Money —
The now funniest line from Palin's ridiculous Runner's World interview: I betcha I'd have more endurance. My one claim to fame in my own little internal running circle is a sub-four marathon. It wasn't necessarily a good running time, but it proves I have the endurance within me to at least gut it out and that is something. If you ever talk to my old coaches, they'd tell you, too. What I lacked in physical strength or skill I made up for in determination and endurance. So if it were a long race that required a lot of endurance, I'd win.Of course ...

Late Night: Elephants Palin on Parade
Firedoglake —
Mere days after bragging about her stamina, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin up and quits. Her hastily organized presser—called on a super-news-dump Friday before a national holiday—coupled with the half-baked logic contained in her farewell, can only leave anyone who gives a rat’s sphincter to start wondering: which of Palin’s ten or twelve pending scandals is the one that has forced her to—as General McArthur didn’t say—“advance in a different direction?”
It certainly made a commenter curious at the oft-Palin-palsy-walsy RedState:

One place sales from the autobiography won’t leave her — in the red.
Newsweek Gives Cover Girl Palin A Dressing Down
BAGnewsNotes —
... Sadly, this says as much or more about Newsweek and the news smooze business as it does about Palin, the rag delegating itself as official push-back committee as SP's book tour kicks off another media wave of feigned concern and otherwise cheese ball Palinmania.
She might be bad for the GOP, but she's certainly not hurting the news business any.

Newsweek Gives Cover Girl Palin A Dressing Down
BAGnewsNotes —
... Recyling an original photo from the August Runners World interview and slideshow, Newsweek issues Palin a slap -- pretending it's our mother talking -- while simultaneously taking it to the bank. And, along the way, we get an ever cheaper take on the underlying Palin themes (pictures allowing statements the media couldn't bluntly say otherwise), including:
1. Ooh la la. (Those legs aren't in Runners World anymore!)
2. US Oh! Of course, sex and patriotism sells a lot better than sex alone. (Read: Army banner on window + pin-up girl ...
