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.

hey sarah... DON'T COME BACK.. you will not be missed

[hegdehog]

I like to think that, in some small way, each of us had a little to do with driving her out of politics. Well done, folks. Goodbye and good riddance, Mrs. Palin. You won't be missed.

[xansam]

i hope what you said is true, and I feel like a true patriot today , if it is!

[Chicagofan1]

Stay strong and smile, Sarah!!!!!

[marco01]

She earned it.

Ms. Inciting Terr0rism against her political opponents. She played dirty during the election, now she's reaping the whirlwind.

I was thinking the exact same thing. This person deliberately incited mobs against individuals -- I cannot imagine the hell she already has wreaked and would have continued to wreak. It is as though there is a justice in the wave the universe is woven together after all.

[SiberianRat]

Amen! She relished the spotlight and used it to propagate fear and lies and then when the spotlight turned on her, she couldn't deal. She has not served the people of Alaska and indeed the country well and has offered her family up as fodder for media attention. It seems to me she needs to realign her morals and be a better mother and wife.

[marred]

So basically from that speech I get that she says she is a waste of money? Which matches well with her being a waste of our time :)

[Meldy1]

It's the best thing that she ever did for our country......my gosh she has the nerve to become vice president of our great land....then we should have been finish as Uncle Sam.....brainless governor of Alaska....thank you for resigning sarah.....maybe you can work as an ..........................
God bless our beloved President Bam.

Now let me tell y'all something really funny. A local airhead tried to tell me that SP had a 72% approval rating. This happened yesterday but I'm still ROFLMBO.

If her approval rating ever goes that high, I'll be forced to leave the country.

[JoeBlough]

72% of the kids on the short bus.

[jaschrod]

She probably does have a 72% approval rating, but 72% of whom. She has a 72% approval rating of 20% of the people from the right wing christian republican base. The people running the republican party have destroyed the party. I was a republican all my life, even held office as a republican, but this is not the republican party of yesterday, or at least what we thought the party stood for. I really do not find much difference in either party. Both have people with personalities that seek power, wealth, and recognition at the expense of the country and it's people. Our government reeks of greed, and corruption, but that could be a reflection of the people. I do not see much difference on the street, sorry to say.

What is it? Her brother says that Palin is fed up with the negative press. Her spokesperson says Palin is not giving in to pressure. Flip the coin and make a stand because it can't be both.

[JoeBlough]

Under stress, women tend to get the "vapors". Perhaps, she felt faint.

[NotStarvingArtist]

Now that's a sexist remark.

[Dragonblaster]

Ohh Boo-hoo!!. Drudge, Fox and the others didn't rest one minute with the negative press of the Clintons.

Grow up.

Fox and friends are making her a media martyr, to make her the biggest victim, so when she runs for prez they can try to give the media a guilt trip for doing their job.

[buster85]

It's the same ole trick that most republicans use. When things don't go as expected or when someone questions what they are doing, it's the media's fault.

[JoeBlough]

A country bumpkin and a light weight to boot. Doesn't have the fortitude for political office.

[mrmikes]

Fartitude she have.

[AbstractImp]

Very sorry, but this "non-stop negative media blitz" comes about because of HER NON STOP NEGATIVE ACTS AND STATEMENTS !!

[BluesDogLefty]

bingo

[nomobull]

we have a winner!!!

[ScaryBob]

Wow, Clinton had 8 years of non-stop criticism, and as I remember, even an impeachment. Didn't make him pee in his pants and resign....

[Probus]

Palin cut and ran because she couldn't stand the criticism. By resigning she has done some serious damage to her political career. After this she can have no hope of running for president.

[zer0ne]

Go away Mrs. Palin. Far far away.

[mjeffn]

Maybe the gop offered her the chairmanship.

[1differentdrummer]

Hmmm. Do you suppose this whine about the "non-stop negative media blitz" is a smokescreen?
