Sarah Palin on the Doubletalk Express

[Blue_In_AK]

Erica Bolstad, a reporter with the Anchorage Daily News, has been traveling with the guv for a couple of days and had a brief interview with her on Saturday. The full text is here http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/576539.html but this little exchange particularly jumped out at me.

On how she transformed as being a governor known for working with Democrats to being very partisan on the campaign trail:

"As John McCain, having been known as the maverick, being able to reach across the aisle, and work with both sides, and has taken on his whole party, we're a really good fit as a team because I've done the same thing. And our commitment is to getting rid of the obsessive partisanship in D.C. We both have a track record of being able to do that, me having appointed independents and Democrats and Republicans and to work for the people of Alaska, also. It is just time for that transformation of government, that partisanship that was getting in the way of progressing as a nation, and securing our land and winning the war, too, on the economic front. We're doing no one any good. I'm absolutely committed to that. And it's refreshing breath, the signs in the audience that say 'Democrat women for McCain,' and 'Democrats for Palin,' that's been confirmation, there is that acknowledgment."

Give me some of what YOU'RE smoking, Governor.

1. That reply was pure goobledegook

She reminds me of George Bush more each day.

2. She doesn't even acknowledge

that every word out of her mouth on the campaign trail has been partisan bullshit. I'll agree with her that she worked in a bipartisan way as governor of Alaska -- that's why she was so popular -- but Candidate Sarah has done a complete 180 from Governor Sarah. Surely she can't be so self-deluded that she doesn't see that??
