Sarah Palin: I'd Like To Be Chief Of Staff

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin answered questions from People magazine readers this week as part of her book tour. Asked if she could "have one job in the White House tomorrow, what would it be," Palin responded that she would like to take over from Rahm Emanuel.

"It would be chief of staff, so I could start appointing people who would recognize those things that America needs to get our economy back on the right track and to secure our nation," she said.

Palin also discussed her daughter Bristol, the television show 30 Rock and her decision to resign.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Newsmax on Tuesday, Palin did not rule out a 2012 ticket featuring herself and Glenn Beck.

I'd be worried if she didn't quit everything that gets too hard. I mean except for Todd.

Chief of Staff is probably the only White House position Palin knows about, other than the Prez and VP.

Sorry Sarah...no­t only are you unqualifie­d to water plants, but people have a tendency to hire people that don't up & quit "for the good of the people"...­.

Does she know that you don't run for COS?

For those of you that think Sarah is so wonderful, why did her special needs son not have his glasses or hearing aides on while she dragged him around Michigan? Why would she not allow her toddler to be able to see and hear? Seems like extreme neglect to me.

Yes, please! PLEASE run with Glenn Beck. Late night comedians will donate to your campaign, just to see it happen!

There is something I want, Sarah. For you to go far, far away. Like to the northernmo­st slopes of Alassska.

And Ms. Palin, what does the COS do?
"Well, he or she gets in there with the senators and when someone goes rogue like that guy Monnigan or whatever his name was who was not attacking that other rogue trooper in Alaska by refusing to follow orders, well, those rogue people you fire them! And if POTUS disagrees, well he is not a real american so I'll bring my own sorcerer from Africa to do a cleansing at the white house! wink,wink.­..

Where is Jane Curtin?

She needs to come back as Barbra WaWa and interview Tina Fey on SNL.

she can be the White House janitor

Well, good idea. Except a janitor, especially in the WH, has to be able to read his/her daily job schedule.

Hey WBB agree with your point that this woman should stick to making mooseburge­rs in Wasilla but I dispute using janitors to express that. The janitors in the operations that I've worked in have been among the most dedicated, consistent­, conscienti­ous and responsibl­e employees. No comparison­.

Huh? HUH? Man, nobody tortures a simple sentence like the Quitta from Wasilla.
