Sarah Palin

Religion:
– Pentecostal

For starters, who puts religion on a resume?

I do or we can drop Barry’s middle name from discussion too.

Excuses. Nobody’s talking about Barry’s middle name. And those who do don’t pretend it’s a resume.

Education:
– Attended, University of Hawaii at Hilo, 1982
– Attended, Hawaii Pacific University, 1982
– Attended, North Idaho Community College, 1983
– Attended, University of Idaho, 1984-1985
– Attended, Matanuska-Susitna Community College, 1985
– B.S. Journalism, University of Idaho, 1987

And who lists each college attended rather than just the college that awards a degree?

I do when they have this much of a joke as a college career. All factual and all relevant don’t be afraid of the facts.

Of course you do. Pathetic and irrelevant.

Political Experience:
– Former Council Member, Wasilla City Council, Alaska, 1992-1996
– Former Mayor, Wasilla City, Alaska, 1996-2002 (pop: 7,028) (Votes: 909)
– Failed Candidate, Lieutenant Governor, Alaska, 2002
– Resigned, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, 2003-2004
– Governor, Alaska, 2006-present (2 years) (pop: 670,053) (4th Smallest State) (0.002% of the U.S. population)

Then we start in on the political experience. But you can’t even say, City Council, Mayor, etc. No, it has to be “Former City Council, Former Mayor.” Anything, no matter how lame, to diminish her a little further. As if she could be anything but a former mayor while she’s a sitting governor.

On top of which, you actually list the one election she lost, for lieutenant governor, as “failed.”

She is a former mayor of a town with a small population and was elected by only 909 votes. She did lose when running for lieutenant governor. I like facts.

So she should be embarrassed that she’s no longer the mayor, only the governor of the state? And you actually choose to write things like this? How pathetic was the bashing you decided not to use?

You do manage to list her time as head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. But strangely, you don’t mention that she was the head of it, or what she did. All you say is that she resigned.

She did resign. Go look it up. Again educating you on the facts.

So you educate me that she did something I said she did? Really?

Professional Experience:
– First Place, Miss Wasilla Beauty Contest, 1984
– Second Place, Miss Alaska Pageant, 1984
– Television Sports Reporter, 1987-1989
– Director, Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc., 2003-2007

Right. Well, we all know competing in a beauty contest is considered professional experience.

She doesn’t have any relevant professional or private sector experience = fact.

But government experience at every level below the office of governor that she now holds. With her governor’s experience, she’s pretty much made a clean sweep of relevant government experience to take the next step up: president.

Oh, I suppose she could go for Senate or Cabinet, but there are plenty of presidents — most recent presidents — who never did either.

For accomplishments, you list every negative news story, many based on hearsay, ever printed about her.

ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on April 13, 2009 at 1:56 AM

I list everything that proves my point she is NOT a fiscal conservative. These are all factual and fully sourced not hearsay. You cannot spin the facts and I am going to be here to make you eat them.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 2:35 AM

Anonymously sourced == fully sourced? Interesting viewpoint.

As for not being able to spin the facts, that’s exactly what you’ve been trying to do with this phony resume. I really don’t think I’m breaking new ground by pointing this out. You just need to be reminded sometimes that no one really buys the B.S.

Thanks for setting the record straight, Poptech! It’s great that you always provide links to FACTUAL data to back up your posts, unlike most of the palin-messiah-lovers here.

Shelby on April 13, 2009 at 10:35 PM

As is FACTUAL data can’t be massaged and manipulated any way we like…

oh and Shelby, my god, I already explained the importance of the Alfalfa Club. Please Read my responses to you.

Daemonocracy on April 12, 2009 at 4:58 PM

I skimmed through the comments and did not see where you have answered why it was IMPORTANT FOR sarah to be at the Alfalfa Club dinner. She told her fellow GOP-er’s she was too busy in Alaska to hang out with them that weekend. But you/someone said the Alfalfa dinner is, LIKE, way important so she just had to go, stiffing “her own party”!

So why was it sooo IMPORTANT for the sarah messiah to hang out with the Obama messiah?

I’d really like to know the answer to this.

Yep. Per Alexa, HotAir has fallen nearly 300 spots in the Web-rankings for the past 3 months, while sites like Conservatives4Palin has skyrocketed. Maybe HotAir could learn something.

ROFLMAO! Dumb Palintologists. Um, maybe Conservatives4Palin could learn something from Hot Air…
HotAir – 7 day avg 8,600 (Alexa)
Conservatives4Palin – 7 day avg 244,146 (Alexa)
ROFLMAO!!! HotAir spanks the Palin site like the joke that it is.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 2:35 AM

If this were 29 years ago, Poptech would be touting George H. W. Bush over Ronald Reagan. His “logic” would have forced him to do so. In a battle of resumes between Bush I and Reagan, Bush would’ve won hands down.

‘Nuff said.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

AP: sound like a refutation of your premise but I know your boss Michelle must be pleased with the results.

For you AP that must be your own personal definition of AMBIVALENCE.

You have nothing the veracity of the story has not been refuted.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 3:02 PM

This is another obvious lie. It’s been refuted again, and again. You are a delusional liar and a windbag. Any more lies?

Cameron said something to Greta on the phone. He in no way refuted his story. You have nothing.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 2:49 PM

So, because its on the phone it doesn’t count? The others who were in the room all the time, who actually did the debate prep — not the reporter who admits he messed it up, nor the liars who wouldn’t know anyway — do refute the story. In fact, they agree — “never happened”, “absurd”. Its a lie. I know to you that’s nothing, but to any normal person, it being a lie would be very significant indeed. Any more lies for us?

By your own standard:

Means he Poptech was not in those sessions where the claims were made. His Poptech’s comments on a situation that he was not in are irrelevant.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 2:24 PM

None of your quotes are from people in the room.

…You cannot spin it baby, buy a new turntable because yours is broke.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 2:34 PM

The folks in the room who were there all the time, who would know the truth — they are probably not the liars who wouldn’t be in a position to know anyway — told this to the interviewers:

Key person responsible for Palin’s debate prep: “…that Africa thing never happened. Never happened.”

Two of the advisers who briefed Palin on foreign policy: “absurd”.

So, here’s how it works: the folks who were there all the time and who know the truth declare it to be a lie! Cameron admits he “messed up”. Your lies are the only “spin” here pop-a-vessel-tech. Go ahead tell some more delusional, deranged lies!

Rick Davis: “I don’t know I wasn’t in those debate sessions. …my view is not being in the room, you know. I had absolutely no idea what transpired during that period of time.”

You cannot spin it baby, buy a new turntable because yours is broke.

Means he was not in those sessions where the claims were made. His comments on a situation that he was not in are irrelevant.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 2:24 PM

Sweet! Those who did the actual debate prep — those who were in the room with Palin the entire time, those who would know the truth are quoted below — summary: “absurd”, “never happened”, “messed up”. Davis, McCain’s campaign manager knows Palin, and the parties, he agrees in the absurdity of the lies (see quote below).

VAN SUSTEREN: One other criticism was this whole business about Africa. And I investigated it. I talked to someone who was in the room with you, whose name I can’t reveal, who was there for all your preparation, talked to that person, grilled that person, cross-examined that person, said that Africa thing never happened. Never happened. And I grilled the person.

RICK DAVIS: Look, Sarah Palin knows the difference between a continent and a country.

CARL CAMERON: I messed up on this one!

Rich Lowry interviewing Rick Davis as a guest host on Hannity & Colmes —
RICH LOWRY: Rick, let’s roll through some of these specifics. The idea that she didn’t know Africa was a continent. I talked today to two of the advisers who briefed [her] on foreign policy. They consider it absurd. Among other things, they point out she was very up from the beginning on the Darfur [issue], which is huge.
RICK DAVIS: Right.

Repeat the lies as many times as you wish — they’ll still be lies. The only thing you “own” are your lies and your delusions. Even Cameron is man enough to admit he screwed it up! Rant on poppy! Rant on!

Then you picked one line from Rick Davis to say he didn’t know. The RCP article cites an interview with Rick Davis which flatly contradicts your picture of him having “no idea” of Palin’s knowledge of Africa.

cs89 on April 13, 2009 at 2:21 PM

That line, I will repeat…

Rick Davis: “I don’t know I wasn’t in those debate sessions. …my view is not being in the room, you know. I had absolutely no idea what transpired during that period of time.”

Means he was not in those sessions where the claims were made. His comments on a situation that he was not in are irrelevant.

More comments not from the source. Owned again.

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 2:14 PM

What source? It was an anonymously sourced article. Then you picked one line from Rick Davis to say he didn’t know. The RCP article cites an interview with Rick Davis which flatly contradicts your picture of him having “no idea” of Palin’s knowledge of Africa.

Whether you acknowledge it or not, you are wrong. As usual.

COLMES: Appreciate it very much. I know it’s been a tough few months. So glad you’re here to talk about it. Where do these leaks come from?

DAVIS: Well, you know, part of the reason that I wanted to come out tonight and talk about this is because, you know, we don’t know where these leaks are coming from. You know funny how all these things are attributed to anonymous sources, and look, politics is politics, it isn’t bean bag, it’s rough stuff, but anonymous sources, give me a break.

You’ve got the campaign manager of the campaign McCain for the last year and a half sitting in front of you, and I’m just going to tell you right now this is atrocious behavior on the part of people who claim to be campaign staffers, and I think it’s outrageous.

COLMES: Do you know who did it?

DAVIS: I wish I do, otherwise, you know, I’d probably wouldn’t be here, I’d be talking to the reporters telling them — you know, this is outrageous behavior on the part of these individuals, but I don’t know who did it, and that’s the problem with these kinds of stories.

You don’t know the veracity of the story. You don’t even know if it’s factual, and you have no clue who told it.

LOWRY: It’s our gain, the country’s loss.

Rick, let’s roll through some of these specifics. The idea that she didn’t know Africa was a continent. I talked today to two of the advisers who briefed on foreign policy. They consider it absurd. Among other things, they point out she was very up from the beginning on the Darfur, which is huge.

DAVIS: Right.

LOWRY: And Evangelical communities across America. So it doesn’t even make sense.

DAVIS: It doesn’t make sense, and, again, I mean, you know, what’s the point of all these unsubstantiated rumors that are flying around? What I really want to try and understand is — what’s the basis of all this stuff?

I mean, look, I could make anything up about John McCain’s debate prep? I mean I was in there, I saw him — what was going on. Is anybody going to debate with me about what was said and done in there?

Look, she did a great job in this debate. She held her own with a guy who’s been practiced in this politics for 40 years, and I think it’s a real tribute to her, and the idea that somehow we’re going to undercut her by talking about some of these, you know, ridiculous claims is, I think, not only inappropriate, but, frankly, it doesn’t bode well for our party as a whole.

I mean we…

You were saying?

Rick Davis: “I don’t know I wasn’t in those debate sessions. …my view is not being in the room, you know. I had absolutely no idea what transpired during that period of time.”

Hum, fascinating.

Weren’t they “anonymous sources?”

You don’t know if they’ve been interviewed or not.

Bottom line, though, Rick Davis has a lot more credibilit assessing the intelligence of Sarah Palin than anonymous sources do.

He has more credibility on this issue than you as well, but I guess that goes without saying.

Nope they never interviewed those that made the claims. All true baby, Palin just doesn’t want anyone to know how little she really does!!! ROFLMAO!!

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 1:42 PM

Just so we can verify your completely insane uttering, baby, who exactly were “those who made the claims”? Names, please. I don’t suppose you want us to know how little YOU “really does”, right?

Both Lowry and Van Susteren have personally interviewed the actual folks in the room,

littleguy on April 13, 2009 at 1:33 PM

Nope they never interviewed those that made the claims. All true baby, Palin just doesn’t want anyone to know how little she really does!!! ROFLMAO!!

YOU HAVE NOTHING!

Poptech on April 13, 2009 at 1:27 PM

Typical of the deranged! You ignore all relevant passages that challenge your delusion! Both Lowry and Van Susteren have personally interviewed the actual folks in the room, including Palin and they all agree — “absurd”, “never happened”! You know this. You know its a lie. You are a deranged liar.

I’m not sure what the solution is, but she has to be able to come across like she did in her acceptance speech all the time, not just some of the time, and she has to never again do a repeat of what happened on Couric.
