Why was she giving a Reagan eulogy?

[MrVee]

I tried. Lord knows I tried to listen.

But listening to this woman's voice is equivalent to waterboarding.

[Freesia2]

lol

My husband won't listen to her on tv. ("Aleeeeska".) Not that he really can listen. I'm usually drowning her out hollering back at her. ;-)

Shannyn thank you for your great job. If this country only had a few hundred more reporters like you.

[quidam56]

Shannyn- don't know if I should laugh or cry for you covering this idiot. Guess she lives in Hannity's America. http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=138

Bless you, Shannyn, for discovering this video - even if it causes so much cringing and multiple headaches for those who view it!

[PhilipMunger]

Shannyn didn't exactly "discover" the video. The videographer, Dennis Zaki, runs Alaska Report, and is one of the most highly regarded political chroniclers in Alaska. He's teamed up with several of the Alaska bloggers.

On this particular episode, he, Shannyn, AK Muckraker and other alaska progressive bloggers all attended the M. Reagan/Palin event. I was supposed to go, but had already had two helpings of events full of Sarahbots within the previous week, so I stayed home and worked on painting my house.

Dennis had the audio up for any of us to use within a couple of hours of the event. He's been so busy with other projects that he only got back to working on the video for YouTube when we realized its importance early this morning, thanks to Mr. Dunn's remarkable efforts.

Dennis (the Hardy Boy) Zaki called me this morning and asked me to post his videos since he was on his way for a hike with the fam.
Believe me, as hard as it is to watch, it's much easier than sitting in the room with 400 people who may not like you; no pause button or adult beverage.

[Geoffrey Dunn - Huffpost Blogger]

My word, it was one thing to read it; quite another to listen to it. Thank you, Shannyn, and thank you, Dennis. I have hyperlinked it now to my piece as well. Someone needs to get it to Jon Stewart. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

It's fascinating to watch the wingnuts and Palinistas respond. They are in some serious denial. Now I'm going back to tend to the tomatoes.

[PepperzMom]

Would that be "to-MAY-toes" or "to-MA-toes", Mr. Dunn.

After all, in the Palinistas world, it's so-o-o-o-o important that the true meaning be clearly understood by all!

"You betcha!, also, too...."

:)

[deedee08]

No, it's "also though to..."

[2008CaliforniaFan]

Geoffrey....

For the research for your book, will you be visiting Sarah's college to see what work she has turned in... ' as her work'..?

As she is fond of saying... I think she has opened a door for 'You'.
The chapter covering her 'College days' just got a whole LOT... more interesting. Good luck with your research.

[mychagall]

Thank you for your brilliant article! I just tried to listen to her. I had to stop. That whiney sarcastic voice of hers are like fingers on a chalk board. I'm better off reading it, and I did.

Unbeleivable! That bad and plagiarized. A double whammy there.

[AKjah]

AAAAHHHH My eyes my eyes. bad enough i read about it but dont need to burn my eyes watching.
soka Shannon keep on keepin on.

[El]

Nails on blackboard.

[davidray]

How many macaca moments is this woman going to get before "she blows up real good." That's an old sctv reference. :-)))

[johnie2xs]

We just got through with a with a verbally tortured monosyllabic lightweight, in the personage of GWB.

Do we now have to have this woman inflicted on us, again and again.

I've enjoyed much of what you have written, Shannyn. Please spare us videos of this woman.

I wouldn't listen to her, anymore than I'd listen to bush.I'll wait for the Cliff Notes.
