Palin To Break Silence On McCain Aide Attacks In Fox News Interview

Sarah Palin has kept something of a low profile since the election. While former advisers to the GOP campaign leak dirt about her to the press, her only comment so far has been a refusal to comment. But she's ready to break her silence. From a Fox News press release:

FOX News Channel's Greta Van Susteren will present the first extensive post-election sitdown interview with Governor Sarah Palin during On The Record on Monday November 10th at 10PM ET.

Van Susteren will conduct the taped interview in Wasilla, Alaska and present Monday night's show live from that location. The whole hour will be devoted to Palin who will speak with Van Susteren about accusations by McCain staffers of dissent within the campaign, the outcome of the election, and her future role in the Republican Party amongst other topics.

For a sense of what to expect, here are highlights from Van Susteren's interview with Palin's husband Todd:

Greta..find out who paid for the house the Palins live in...she can't afford clothes, how in the world could they afford a half a million dollar house? That lazy Todd sure didn't build it or even work for it..what a waste of space he is.

[rcpmac]

WoW! I'm no Palin lover... not in the least, but accusing Todd of being lazy?! So you have a problem with husbands being the primary family/home support person when the wife is a professional? Sounds more than a bit sexist to me.
Would you call Michelle Obama lazy?

[postman606]

Not that it matters, but Michelle has a six-figure real job with the University of Chicago.

[debb3111]

Who wrote this story???The woman has been whinning about the media for days. not one day has gone by that she didn't say the media did this to her. What JERKS they are. Who cares about the 13 suit cases she had to buy to carry her loot in???HELLO

[stayinsouth1981]

Sarah Palin reminds me of Tammy Faye Baker. The voice, the eye makeup, the SHINYOIL look, and the strange suits.

How is Greta going to keep her on track for an entire hour?

[devinsbuddy]

She's probably been promised a shopping spree at Nordstrums or Fredericks of Fairbanks!

[supergranny]

Is Greta made out of wood or is it the excess testosterone?

[Archivist1000]

I remember Greta as the nightly Legal Expert on Larry King Live during the OJ Trial ... she is pretty smart as a lawyer. But when I watch her show on FOX she has lost that unbiased attitudey and she is just another celibraty chaser. It's like she has decided to get by without her intelligence and gone for the lowest denominator.

I have had enough of Palin's spin, lies, flirting and I don't expect Greta to do a real interview, so I won't be watching either.

When Palin has the guts to sit down for a hard hitting interview, where she will be honest and answer serious questions, I might watch that. But Greta is giving Palin a one hour opportunity to spout her nonsense.

[afgail]

Sarah Palin is a toxic force in the Repubican party. She cost McCain dearly with Independents and moderate Republicans. Fox hasn't internalized the election results yet. Ailes is still operating on the notion that they are still the official propagandists for Republican corporatists apologists - an ever shrinking audience.

[marymansour]

When Greta goes to Alaska, I think it would be nice if she remained there.

[LePistoir]

Oh boy. Must miss TV. If it's as gratingly slow and empty as this one, it might be good to fall asleep. I get uncomfortable watching that sort of awkward "palling around" for just 3.5 minutes. No way could I do an hour.

[Bitsko]

lmao!

[spicehandler]

I was totally patting myself on the back for watching this 3.5 minute interview before commenting so I gasped when I saw that there's a whole hour...

I feel even dumber now...

[johnie2xs]

Van Suspect and Sarah C-cup. This will draw as well, as an interview of Flavor Fav by Gerald Rivera. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[sarimn00]

She just won't go away. We better get used to it. Her ambition has had a taste for the spotlight, and we'll be seeing a lot more of her. Especially if she decides that she wants to take Stevens place in the Senate if he is asked to step down.

[justjojo]

Greta v. S.'s voice is grating in this piece. Do you notice how uncomfortable the "First Dude" seemed at her sycophantic questioning? Yeah, I think I'll stick to my normal Monday night line-up...

[BigSurf]

"Van Susteren will conduct the taped interview in Wasilla"

Taped?

Are they going to do multiple re-takes when she messes up?
Or is it going to be scripted and rehearsed in advance?

[bwilder]

Yup, You Betcha!
Also some heavy duty editin' goin' on up there also, there, also and also....

[Puller58]

It has occured to me that Sarah Palin has a plan. Her refusal to ask Ted Stevens to step down leaves her with clean hands if he goes to prison. Then she would be free as the Governor of Alaska to appoint herself to the Senate. Then she could try to build her campaign for 2012. The woman is ignorant, but not stupid.

[instarx]

Does anybody get how depressed palin has to be right now? She goes from her personal 737 back to driving her own pick-up truck in Alaska, back to her ugly house from the five-star hotels, and did anyone see how pathetic and cheap the Governor's office looks!? I've seen trucking companies with better looking offices.

Just think what it is like for her to go back to her Lake Lucille house that before the campaign must have seemed so great and grand - now it's just an ugly joke.

Even I was depressed and I have no sympathy for her at all.

Oh yes, Palin will try to get back into national politics - after all, now that she's seen the big city how are you gonna keep her on the farm?

[ericmiami]

She's back with her precious children! Maybe she can learn to carry Trig in her time at home.

[pjlawrence81]

It seems to me Greta has quite the crush on this woman. She slurps her up every chance she gets. It's like watching Chris Matthews talk about Obama.

[AmbivalentGuy]

Maybe she'll stay in Alaska to bask in Sarahness -
fine by me. Greta annoys the h*ll out of me.

[instarx]

"...her only comment so far has been a refusal to comment"

SAY WHAT? Yes she did say "no comment", but then she went right on to comment about her aides, her wardrobe, her great attitude, and everything else under the sun. This is perfect Palin - she knows the phrases, but doesn't know anything about what they really mean. I suspect she thinks that "no comment" means "I wish they would shut up.".
