MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Thursday argued that she and her fellow Republican governors were ready to put aside "extreme partisanship" and act if Washington fails to provide the leadership America needs.

Speaking at her first formal news conference before the national media since the GOP presidential ticket lost last week, the former vice presidential nominee argued that her fellow Republican governors "don't let obsessive, extreme partisanship ... get in the way of doing what's right."

"I think that this group is going to be looked to and looked at for leadership that perhaps had been lacking in Congress and in Washington, D.C.," she said. "This group is going to be uniquely qualified to provide leadership in this nation."

You have got to be kidding! This is like saying the Pope decries devotion to faith and scripture.

[Democrats_win]

1. Ironic that her post election "act" proves the opposite of her claims.

[amdezurik]

2. you jest don't get it don't ya know!

Her partisanship is the "real" America, we are just fancy-pants liberuls who hate America as well

[av8rdave]

4. You betcha!

;)

[onager]

3. Goebbels Decries "Extreme Anti-Semitism..."

n/t

[Turbineguy]

23. Ivan the Terrible decries autocracy!

[teknomanzer]

26. Bear decries hibernation...

makes about as much sense.

Can you find me anyone more partisan than Sarah the rabble rouser?

[Earth Bound Misfit]

34. Malkin decries personal attacks n/t

[boppers]

42. Pot decries kettle. eom

[baby_mouse]

5. I hereby predeict that one day one of these fools will decry hypocrisy.

One day a Republican will splutter and pout and preen and point at a Dem and shout "HYPOCRISY!"

It will be over an issue on which the Dem is in fact not being hypocritical at all.

[mike_c]

6. would that be pro-American extreme partisanship or anti-American partisanship...?

What a hypocrite.

[mrcheerful]

7. It plays well with the media and the nit wits that vote for pukes

It always has, pukes say no more dirty politicking, Dems say ok we will stick to the issues, pukes come out with The Dem congressman slept with a three head, 5 titted space monster of unknown sexual gender, so it could be a male, then the Dem has to defend either sleeping with said space monster or try to convince the nit wits out there that theres no such thing as a space monster.

Thats what made Obama different, pukes attacked and he put the facts out there, then when they tried it a second time he just gave his you got to be kidding me laugh and stuck to the issues. In the end america saw a platform by the pukes that stood on nothing but smear and fear, works great for 8 years then americans wake up and realize they are being played for fools.

[xultar]

8. She is the Poster Child for Extreme Partisanship....WTF...am I in the Twilight Zone?

[bushmeister0]

9. It's going to be kind of hard for that group to act when they're completely broke.

I should think now that a barrel of oil is down to $56, her state will be going to Washington cup in hand asking for a bailout soon enough.

And, BTW, why is this crazy person still getting so much attention from the media? She's yesterday's news, isn't she?

She lost! She almost single handedly ensured they lost, and they're talking about her getting the nomination in '12?

Good luck to them!

[high density]

10. So now she thinks Governors can lead America?

Go ahead and lead your own state off a cliff, but America being lead by the governors is as silly as the VP leading the Senate.

[zbdent]

11. and then she walked away from the mirror

to give her speech to the Repuke Governors ...

[Zorra]

12. Why is the media giving thiscorrupt, shallow, ignorant person so much attention?

Oh, yeah - corrupt, shallow, ignorant: The three qualities that republicans admire most in a leader. Bu*h is the perfect example.

[LuckyLib]

17. Because the media is corrupt, shallow, and ignorant. It's all they know.

[memory]

13. What a crock of moose poo

THAT ONE makes me grind my teeth!:mad:

[acmavm]

14. Wow, that's quite a promotion she just handed herself. She's

gonna upend the whole system of government because she thinks we need or want her leadership?

What drugs is this delusional bitch on?

I WANT SOME!!!!

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

18. A second

Hey, I must second your message. This crazy moose heffer is on another planet. I advocate that we just ignore her.

[mithnanthy]

45. Seriously, I think the drug is meth...

Back in the 80's, lots of entertainers and dancers used meth because it was cheap....kept you skinny, suppressed appetite, allowed you to drink large amounts of alcohol, and remain standing, it allowed you to stay up for 3 days, without sleep, no problem. A nap could replace a night's sleep. It made a person VERY speedy, very talkative, with rambling sentences...barely taking a breath.It made a person feel they were FABULOUS and could do anything! It provided false confidence to it's users. As long as person kept using it on a daily basis, in small amounts, they could "function" very well. Extreme amounts of energy...however....you don't want to be near them when they run out of meth.....it's called "Kookin". That's another story. Palin has ALWAYS looked "hopped up" on meth to me. But I have no evidence other than my 'informed' observation.

[LynnTheDem]

15. Umm Sarah? "this group" LOST. THAT group is the new leadership.

Someone let the bimbo in on the election results, please!

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

16. She needs to go away now

[denverbill]

19. Can we get Paris Hilton's take on this?

This is just mind-boggling. I don't understand how someone who seemingly isn't suffering from trauma related amnesia could possibly even mention extreme partisanship as if it's something that Democrats suffer from.

This same ignorant cow that a mere 10 days ago was essentially calling Obama a Marxist terrorist, has the gall to talk about putting aside partisanship?

Sarah, if I was you, I spend 24 hours a day worrying about 1 thing and 1 thing only - your looks. Because the ONLY reason the Republican base was excited about you was you because you are a decent looking chick. If you gain 10 lbs and a few wrinkles, the boys that so love you now will move on to greener pastures. So bring on the botox and Slim-fast and don't even think about getting pregnant again, or you can kiss 2012 goodbye.

[yardwork]

20. It's her narcissism. She can't accept the fact that she lost, so she's recasting reality again.

Sarah Palin is a Republican governor. Therefore, in her mind, there is no better group than Republican governors. They are the important ones, not those people in Washington. If Palin had won, then she as the "leader of the Senate" would still be the most important person in the world, and the Senate would be her court.

If Sarah Palin were dogcatcher of Wasilla, then dogcatchers of small Alaskan towns would be the most important group in the world, and she would be their leader.

[lib_wit_it]

44. Absolutely. Notice that it's not Governors who are important, it's

Republican governors. It's analogous to nationalism, but on a more intimate level.

[Critters2]

21. This just in: Stalin decries totalitarianism. nt

[yellowcanine]

22. Accused Obama of "palling around with terra-ists". No partisanship there. Nope.

Nada! Nyet! Non!

[uppityperson]

24. Put aside "extreme partisianship" and take over if Dem leadership isn't enough?

wtf?

[customerserviceguy]

25. Glad to hear her talk

she's crowding out the really threatening Repuke governors who might have actually helped McLame win the election, had he picked one of them. She'll make a fine nominee for them in four years!

[HopeHoops]

27. Sarah has been SAVED FROM THE GRASP OF SATAN! She renounced the, wait, her campaign - nevermind

You have to have this toy for Christmas, girls! Just pull the string on her back and Caribou Barbie says something stupid! Get them now, while supplies last!

[samsingh]

28. repugs are always willing to put aside partisanship when THEY'VE LOST

when repugs are in power, they treat the rest of us like garbage.

if we are smart, we will treat them badly to put fear into them. right now they know they can treat us like shit, but we will treat them with roses when we have the power. so repugs have nothing to lose by being assholes to us.

[and-justice-for-all]

29. whatever...

:eyes:

[walktall7]

30. Republicans are partisan

Democrats are the party of non partisanship.

[demigoddess]

31. I know a paranoid narcissist when I see one.

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[Mz Pip]

32. Save me from "Extreme Palinship"

Enough already. Go the fuck away already.

Sarah has got to be one of the most annoying losers I have ever seen in politics. Give a all a break and go shoot a moose or put lipstick on a pig.

36. Palin is as bad a corrupt politician as it gets... >>Link>>

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-palinrecords24-2008oct24,0,6683728.story?page=2
she has appointed all her small town friends to state dept heads.. so she started appointing their wives..

http://whitmanpioneer.com/politics/2008/10/16/a-look-at-sarah-palin-by-a-true-alaskan/

she has less sense than Bu$h and absolutely NO SHAME

[BreweryYardRat]

37. Sheesh, hypocrisy much?

Republicans and hypocrisy go together like ducks and water, but this is extreme even for them.

[badgervan]

38. Naked Conceit...

... is not appealing. Have you ever seen a person so absolutely full of themselves as this christianist whackjob? Like bush, something traumatic must have happened to her that has caused this complete projection of all personal responsibility to/as "God's will". Too much of this going around lately. Not healthy in any country, much less the U.S.A.

[kwassa]

39. Pot. Kettle. Black.

[tanyev]

40. Let me guess....Sarah will offer to lead the way.

That could get entertaining.

[hatrack]

41. Here's a little message from the "anti-American" part of the country . . .

You remember, doncha? That part of the country that beat your ticket like a rented mule last week?

Message: FUCK YOU, you HYPOCRITICAL BITCH.

[pinniped]

43. Sarah must not be frantically searching for the missing clothes anymore, since she has....

time to talk trash on a daily basis.

[Javaman]

46. so the brain damaged puppet squawked again...

and all the media is agog.

[Dappleganger]

47. She needs to concentrate on Alaska's own set of problems...

afterall, that's what she was elected to do.

Alaska will be facing a serious shortfall for teh 2009 budget due to plummeting prices on oil, and she has yet proven herself able to handle a budget while in a recession economy.

[clspector]

48. She better watch out for Rick Perry...

I don't know if anyone noticed that Rick Perry stepped in and rescued her from questions when she lost it during the "press conference."

Here in Texas, it's an open secret that Governor Goodhair has designs on the White House. He's a pal of Rove, and I suspect Rove is advising him. (The Rove thing is pure speculation on my part, fwiw.) Perry is very ambitious and I don't see him sitting idly by while Miss Sarah tries to snatch the big prize away. The next few years should be very interesting.
