Palin's Brother: Sarah Fed Up With "Non-Stop Negative Media Blitz" (VIDEO)

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's brother called into Fox News and said he was surprised by her shocking announcement that she will resign the governorship, and he believes that at least part of her decision stems from a "non-stop negative media blitz" that was consuming her and her staff's time.

I can tell you what I believe after a few conversations with Sarah on the subject. Two months ago, we were at a local ski resort talking in a hotel room and she reiterated to me the amount of time she was spending defending herself from these ethics complaints, by the way have all been thrown out, and this non-stop negative media blitz. She said she was spending up to 80% of her time, and a lot of her key staff was doing the same, defending themselves when they should be focusing on state issues. And it's not fair to the state and it's not fair to her family. I think this has weighed on her for a long time.

Is she taking the ball home, too?

"Dear Sarah, Thank you for the big story, Governor Mark Sanford.

PS. I dream of your passionate kisses..D@mn! I was NOT gonna do that anymore!"

[Mickey7]

Wait, isn't this the same woman who told Hilary Clinton to stop whining?

[baseballmom]

If Palin can't take what's been dished out, how the heck could she ever stand up to the likes of Ahmadinejad (sp?), Putin, Kim Jong Il, etc?

A great governor;
a) dribbles the basketball with alternate hands,
b) fakes twice before throwing the football to the #3 receiver downfield,
c) bunts only when the time is right,
d) charges the net after serve
e) doesn't need knee pads to pray
f) loves that great 'ol American Flag so much, because of the diversity and the hopes of the industrious people and risk-taking soldiers, who are trying so hard to protect all that our mothers, fathers and forbearers fought for, through the Valley Forges and Battleship Arizona's of the world so that our kids, young, old, disabled or perky can have the future I told you about the other day when I was in Hoboken.

Thank you, David Lettermen!!

I'm sure there is more to her resignation than the "media blitz.". I hope the investigations continue, regardless of her resignation. Quitting politics? Right!

[RationalityPlease]

Carefully setting herself up in the "victim" role, um? Her insane behavior and unethical actions wouldn't have a thing to do with the negative publicity, right? Some her very base portion of the Republican base will eat that "victim" stuff right up. I fully expect she'll soon be back to further inflame the fearful folks who love her and she will work hard to turn their fears into hate, hate, hate...

Sarah Fed Up With "Non-Stop Negative Media Blitz"

As are all rational human beings.

[foxbat]

Palin's fed up with the "Non-Stop Negative Media Blitz?"

Good thing she's not getting any of those racially-motivated death threats on a daily basis or having people call her socialist/communist everyday or inheriting two wars and a bad economy or questioning whether she's secretly a Muslim bent on destroying the country ... man, that could have been catastrophic for her ... and all of the rest of us had she been in a real leadership role.

[PubliusPost]

EXACTLY!!!

[FZliveson]

Since "God" must be constantly communicating to Palin, she may have realized she needs to stop interrupting "Him" and take-in what is being said. We'll see.

Where is Obamas birth certificate? Why does he have 5 law firms defending the cases that are seeking to view his long form birth certificate? If he is a 'natural born citizen,' why doesnt he just SHOW his original birth certificate and end the debate?


The seller claims in the latest post on eBay that the birth certificate contains the name of Obama's mother and father, the name of the physician present, along with a signature, and that it is "an exact copy of the original 1961 Mombasa hospital birth certificate. Includes 2009 embossed seal of the hospital in Mombasa. Contains a 2009 signature from staff that issued this copy with embossed seal.


What is Obama hiding?

[RationalityPlease]

Get a grip. The birth certificate question was settled a long, long time ago.

[fairtaxnow]

Wrong. Cases are STILL pending in courts across the country.

[fairtaxnow]

Not so frivolous after all!


However, while Schneider noted the defendants’ failure to respond in a timely manner was not caused by neglect, he also stated, “Plaintiffs’ complaint raises significant issues necessitating that the named defendants engage competent counsel to represent their interests. Given the high ranking positions of the defendants, the decision as to who will represent them in this case is not simple and straightforward.”

Schneider also stated he was confident after all the attorneys enter their appearances on behalf of all defendants, “the case will proceed expeditiously.”

[FZliveson]

What a kick...a "Rational" who has a sense of completion!

[puffthedragon]

wrong thread son,, lost as usual?

[fairtaxnow]

Its NEVER the wrong thread to point out Liberal hypocrisy.

[CompashCat]

This country is facing:
* 10%+ unemployment
* millions of un- and underinsured
* millions forced into bankruptcy over medical bills
* public schools that rank among the lowest in the developed world
* economic catastrophe due to unregulated trading and unethical, deceptive lending
* many states going bankrupt
* etc., etc., etc.

And you're worried about BO's BIRTH CERTIFICATE????!!

[puffthedragon]

Holiday week-end store ran out of tin foil.

[fairtaxnow]

Funy how you declare all the time about Bush's ILLEGAL activities and rightly so. But you would let someone who HASNT proved that he is a 'natural born citizen' slide by without so much as a whimper.

[FZliveson]

CompashCat: Whoooooa-now
I remember the oath of office OhBlahBlah took where it said:
""I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The constitution of the United States stipulates the requirements to be president.
The current man in that office is s'pozed ta be an expert on constitutional law.
Where's the compliance? Where's the documentation? Where's the freaking meat in this hamburger of political jargon?

It's lost on the great verbal orator's slip'n'slide of glee.
I voted for the man. AND it is time for him to deliver the goods, not more promises and rationalizations.

[curiousdemo]

She sound like Miss Teen South Carolina

[WasteNJ]

"To all the U.S. Americans, I will be resigning as Governor, such as, such as..."

[Gudrun]

Palin needed to stop defending herself and simply get on with her job. Since she was incapable of doing that, it's better that she resign.
