Palin's Sojourn as a Sportscaster
44 — Making the Rounds Palin's Sojourn as a Sportscaster By Garance Franke-Ruta Barack Obama's official campaign position on John McCain's new running mate Sarah Palin is to congratulate her and focus on continuing to link McCain and President Bush and argue that even though her nomination is historic, the McCain-Palin ticket represents "more of the same." But Obama has hordes of online supporters who don't abide by campaign strictures about message discipline. And they have time on their hands to dig into Palin's electronic paper and video trail, thousands of self-appointed researchers who may well go off on tangents of which their favored candidate might not approve. ...

What do Sarah Palin and Keith Olbermann have in common?
TigerHawk — They are both excellent sportscasters ! I think the McCain campaign has faked us all out. The Palin nomination was not an attempt to attract disgruntled female supporters of Hillary Clinton; it is a bid for the vote of just about every man in the United States. 0 Comments: Post a Comment This page is powered by Blogger.

Our future Commander in Chief
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — Watch Sarah Palin's sportcast below. Now imagine her staring down the likes of Vladimir Putin. I'm all for a woman president. While we preferred Obama, Hillary would have been a fine commander in chief. But Hillary spent her life in jobs preparing her for sitting in "the" chair. Sarah Palin did not. Watch the video: ...

Ladies and Gentlemen...
Brilliant at Breakfast — ...your next vice president. This is an honest-to-God 1988 clip of Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential running mate Sarah Palin as a 24 year-old sportscaster on Anchorage's KTUU. Ah, that brings back memories. Remember when we were all in our cross-eyed Marie Antoinette phase? I can't wait until the Republican party seizes on this as proof positive that Sarah Palin represents the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan.

The Reaction — By Capt. Fogg I continue to receive e-mails chastising me for not recognizing the obvious qualifications of Sarah Heath Palin to lead our country through difficult times: war, economic crises, natural disasters. True, I can see her at a G8 meeting asking "like what do you guys actually do?" I can see her negotiating with Putin or with North Korea over nuclear proliferation. I can just see her, glassy eyed, trying to understand what the Federal Reserve chairman is saying. Unfortunately, others only see her cute behind, her perkiness, her comfortable, smug mediocrity. I get comments ...

Newt Gingrich flunks as a historian when discussing Sarah Palin
Top of the Ticket — Newt Gingrich, even as he joined the chorus of Republican conservative leaders lauding John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate, still must have been somewhat rattled by the pick. At least, that's the only way we can explain an uncharacteristic lapse in the history department. Gingrich is known for his command of history (anyone doubting that should just ask him). Gingrich, a trained historian who taught the subject at the University of West Georgia before taking the leap into politics, was listing Palin's various attributes during a weekend appearance on Fox News when he added ...

Sarah Palin, Sportscaster
PoliBlog: A Rough Draft of my Thoughts — Here’s some found footage of Sarah Palin during her stint as a sportscaster. I am not posting this to make fun, except to the degree that any of us would have amusing hair and such if there was video of us from the 80s (and ignore the little comments that someone included in the clips): ...
