Quotes of the day
posted at 10:55 pm on November 18, 2009 by Allahpundit
“I asked Palin about the anti-tax-and-spending tea parties. ‘I love the tea party movement,’ she said. ‘It’s beautiful, it’s healthy. It’s part of that good healthy competition that’s needed in a political party.’ She contrasted the somewhat tumultuous state of the GOP to what’s going on in the Democratic party today. ‘It seems like the Democratic party is filled with more sheep-like individuals, who go along and get along,’ she said.”
***
“‘I don’t know what I am or where I am right now,’ she said after being one of the first people in line to get her book signed. ‘But I’d do it again in a heartbeat.’”
***
“Get a life. Go do something productive in this world.”
***
“Speaking on Sean Hannity’s radio show, Palin said that ‘some on the left, that lamestream media, they’re contradicting what I wrote in the book.’
“Hannity jumped in to ask, ‘did you say lamestream media?’”
***
“‘I think it’s a great symbiosis,’ said Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast. ‘Everybody is using everybody.’”

SouthernGent on November 18, 2009 at 11:00 PM
When I click through to the linked articles and read the comments, I can only laugh.
First, though, it’s interesting to note that, just like when Ed and Allah write about Palin, so many people are compelled to comment, regardless of whether they like her or not.
One comment from the Politico article is funny in that it describes the sheep who followed Obama to the voting booth:
” they are just desperate to be part of something bigger than they are. She is their messiah and they have no clue that she’s playing them all to gain personal wealth and power.”
Mark Boabaca on November 18, 2009 at 11:01 PM

There is no doubt that she will run in 2012. Sarahpalooza until 2020!

Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Washington, actually did her entire hour show on MSNBC today from the bookstore where Palin was going to be (but wasn’t there until several hours later).
Enoxo on November 18, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Hannity w/ Gov. Palin was great. At the end Sarah even mentioned she is aware of the “Thumpin” by Dead Fish & “Rules for Radicals” and how it was employed to take her out of the game.

She was great on Hannity. He didn’t soft ball her (that much) like last time, which is good. Hopefully she does well in her O’Reilly interview. Whatever the woman’s name that did the analyzing of the preview was waaaaaaaaaaaay off.

Do you disagree with this Allah? Are we all supposed to be mindless drones of the GOP establishment that attacks social and Christian conservatives like you do? Or are you and your side up to a real debate where your ideas get challenged without having to resort to the kinds of tactics that results in candidates like McCain or Scozzafava. I’m thinking you can’t stand up to that kind of debate.

‘Cuda has rocked in every interview this week- I’m very impressed!!!! I heart her even more and know I’ll heart her more than that on Saturday when I meet her in Rochester. She may never be president, but she has a powerful message and delivery that may well turn the party around and get it back on it’s platform. It fell off about 8 years ago.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Palin defenders say the media continues its unfair treatment of her in this week’s “Newsweek,” where she’s pictured on the cover in running shorts. Palin called it sexist on her Facebook page.

Personally, I think you missed the real outcome. Was there anything about her interview on Hannity or any other one you might have heard that was even remotely close to the way she was portrayed during the elections? She not only answered Hannity’s questions but she answered with very intelligent responses that showed she understood the issues.

John the Libertarian on November 18, 2009 at 11:12 PM
The difference is that she is speaking her mind rather than reciting a script of positions written for her by the McCain campaign.
PackerBronco on November 18, 2009 at 11:13 PM
She’s not calling AP out. I doubt HA is on her radar.

I’m ROTFLMAO with the thought of an elitist princess like Mitchell dropped into a Grand Rapids, Michigan, mall for a day. She probably spent most of the day clinging to the Starbucks in the center court on the back side of the information desk.
highhopes on November 18, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Sarah knows how to play the media with her little finger. Pretty fun to watch after how the MSM treated her last year.
Saw the Hannity interview, and thought the final 15 minutes were most interesting.
But Rush Limbaugh, by far, had the best interview with Sarah.
cubachi on November 18, 2009 at 11:14 PM
It’s like the interviewers are all uncorked, too. They finally get to really talk to her.

David Brooks and David Frum need to “get some” or something. No Frum, Sarah Palin’s position of leadership comes from the FACT she 1 leads, and 2 says/does things that resonate with regular people not beltway insiders.

Exactly. Palin’s stock is on the rise and McCain and his people are looking very petty as she dishes out the details.
Most interesting thought tonight came from Dennis Miller who thinks Palin should be on a seven-year plan where she champions a third party ticket in 2016.

The Hannity interview was awesome. On the other hand, it’s clear that the forthcoming O’Reilly interview blows. He’s very proud of the interview and gave us a teaser (with the body language expert in tow), and he had gall to ask Palin if she had the “intellect” to be Prez. The expert informed us that judging from the tightening of her lips she didn’t like the question. No kidding! O’Reilly – you’re a Pinhead.

1. Ayers didn’t ghostwrite her book.
2. Her real estate agent was the wife of a disgraced politician.
3. She had nothing to do with anyone as crooked as Wright, Rezko or Auchi.
alliebobbitt on November 18, 2009 at 11:18 PM
I know she did, and that’s why I’m glad Hannity got into some real serious stuff this time. She needs to keep this up. It’s going to be difficult to erase the (baseless) ‘stupid’ label, but I’m sure she has overcome much greater.

No other Conservative has her draw, has her fame, has her charisma.
Rush supports her and if we had followed his advice the Liberals would be crying on their gay friend’s shoulder while lamenting the fact that they’ll never find a husband.
Holger on November 18, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Palin, to prove her effectiveness beyond popularity, needs to ramp up the protest of “trying KSM”~ an illegal enemy combatant, terrorist and war criminal~ “in the American civilian court system”.
She should pile on, now, giving the issue enough added attention to make it explode in Obama’s smug face.
This show-trial, if allowed to proceed, would only provide a U.S.-paid Jihad Propaganda Forum for these monsters to preach their homicidal madness to the world.
And surely convert a few more fellow maniacs to their diseased “cause”.
And result in more terrorism.
Which AG Holder considers “smart”.
Palin should use the attention now focused upon her to turn it onto this POLITICALLY-TAINTED IDIOCY.
And save our system by derailing this Obama FOLLY.

Clyde5445 on November 18, 2009 at 11:02 PM
she talked about both books on the Eddie Burke radio show many months ago and said that of the two we should pay more attention to the Thumpin to get an idea of how the Obama admin is functioning.

Third party Palin ain’t happening.
She has made it perfectly clear, just as I have been saying for weeks, that she is following the Reagan model of reforming the Republican Party from the inside.
If you heard the Rush interview, this was explicitly clear, and she repeated the same sentiments tonight with Hannity.
By the way Sarah Palin was to be interviewed by Mark Levin tonight on his radio program.
I’m sure the same point will be made, that she believes in the platform of the Republican party being the best for America when those principles are applied, and she is all for duking it out within the party, taking a stand for your beliefs.
Won’t be a third party Sarah.
Brian1972 on November 18, 2009 at 11:23 PM

She isn’t advocating one. She’s of the route to purge the Republican party.
John the Libertarian on November 18, 2009 at 11:26 PM
The one thing I took away from Bill O’Rielly is that during the email segment, someone wrote in and said they were conservative (lies) and would never vote for Governor Palin because she’s not qualified, and he looked into the camera and said he want the person to write back after watching his interview and let him know what they thought.
That said to me that after his interview, Bill O’Rielly thinks she is and may have been impressed with her.
Enoxo on November 18, 2009 at 11:26 PM
I love Sarah Palin, but the Lindsey Graham – Eric Holder confrontation today had me cheering to myself and banging the steering wheel driving home alone today when hearing the whole thing on Hannity’s show. And I

I find it funny. that fully 35%-405 of dems believe that it was GWBUSH that planned the 9/11. so do these truthers now believe that Obama is now about to kill an innocnet man for politcal points. If you believe Bush did 9/11 a showtrail of KSM would logically make you think Obama is placing a innocent man on a showtrail who will be found guilty and executed.
How do the truthers square that circle?

I wasn’t aware that the Tea Party movement was mostly about “social and Christian conservatives”. Silly me, I thought it was primarily focused on high taxes, out of control spending, creeping Socialism, threats to our liberty, and so forth.
Buy Danish on November 18, 2009 at 11:29 PM
I wouldn’t call it a purge. She’s willing, and wanting, to fight to return Republicans back to their conservative side and ideals. And she won’t give up without that fight.
I also don’t believe she’s interested in a third party.

Texas,Wyoming,and the rest of the states noted for hunting/

Another words,there is alot of Sarahs that are in America!!
canopfor on November 18, 2009 at 11:29 PM
In all honesty, I think it is less growth than the ability to be who she is. The Sarah Palin behind the PTA president who got elected governor and became a VP nominee.
McCain’s people were a trainwreck but they made a serious mistake when they decided that the Sarah Palin we’ve seen this week had to be muted. I think that had she been allowed to be more of a foil to McCain’s leftist leanings the campaign would have been more successful.

and that is why the entire media/dnc campaign to make her look stupid is/was doomed to fail. because she isn’t. sure they might get a gotcha question in at some point. but it is very hard to continue to paint someone as stupid when she/he clearly is not. Just like it is very hard for the dmes to pretend to be conservative or moderate when they are really liberal.

Not from the point of view of these douchebags, or McCain himself. He thinks he is going to remake the Republican Party in his image of moderation and bipartisan compromise.

You are indeed silly if you think that social and Christian conservatives are not at the root of fiscal conservatism as well. It’s all part of the same package of traditional values. If you show up at a tea party event, you will not find a pure gathering of fiscal conservatives content to allow on-demand abortions or same sex marriage. You go beyond silliness outright foolishness if you think otherwise.

Qualification is up to voters, not the media or blogs. And you simply cannot predict who will be big in 3 years. An awful lot depends on the message being sent at the right time. I don’t think that can always be engineered.
AnninCA on November 18, 2009 at 11:35 PM
In other words, it was all about Bill O’Reilly, and how he will take credit for any improvement in Palin’s numbers among people who were previously skeptical of her abilities… because of his brilliant interviewing skills. In fact, if she makes it to the W.H. it will be thanks to his interview.
Buy Danish on November 18, 2009 at 11:36 PM

When it comes to national office, qualification is defined by the Constitution. You’re mistaking qualification with fitness for office. Assuming you believe that the filthy lying coward was born in Hawaii, he is qualified for the job but he is utterly unfit to do the job.
