In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Sarah Palin says she's ready to work with President Barack Obama -- but she just can't let Bill Ayers go. From the transcript:

PALIN: It would be my honor to assist and support our new president and the new administration, yes. And I speak for other Republicans, other Republican governors also, they being willing also to, again, seize this opportunity that we have to progress this nation together, a united front.

BLITZER: Because, you know, during a campaign, every presidential campaign, things are said, it's tough, as you well know, it gets sometimes pretty fierce out there. And during the campaign, you said this, you said: "This is not a man who sees America as you see it and how I see America."

And then you went on to say: "Someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he is palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

PALIN: Well, I still am concerned about that association with Bill Ayers. And if anybody still wants to talk about it, I will, because this is an unrepentant domestic terrorist who had campaigned to blow up, to destroy our Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol. That's an association that still bothers me.

And I think it's still fair to talk about it. However the campaign is over. That chapter is closed. Now is the time to move on and to, again, make sure that all of us are doing all that we can to progress this nation.

Keep us secure, get the economy back on the right track, and many of us do have some ideas on how to do that and hopefully we'll be able to put all of that wisdom and experience to good use together.

BLITZER: So looking back, you don't regret that tough language during the campaign?

PALIN: No, and I do not think that it is off-base nor mean-spirited, nor negative campaigning to call someone out on their associations and on their record. And that's why I did it.

BLITZER: I just want to sort of footnote, was that your idea or did somebody write those lines for you?

PALIN: It was a collaborative effort there in deciding how do we start bringing up some of the associations that perhaps would be impacting on an administration, on the future of America. But again, though, Wolf, knowing that it really -- at this point, I don't want to point fingers backwards and play the blame game, certainly, on anything that took place in terms of strategy or messaging in the campaign.

Now is the time to move forward together, start progressing America.

1. The culture which allows people...

like Bush and Palin to thrive in the media spotlight needs to be destroyed.

[Thrill]

2. Shes stupid. Too stupid to realize the blowback from Ayers

[LynnTheDem]

3. "I don't want to point fingers backwards and play the blame game"...WTF????!!

She doersn't want to point fingers at HERSELF and play the blame game and blame HERSELF??!

Fucking hell she's stupid.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Why is CNN

continuing the election? And continuing to give this absurdity the time of day after she trashed the media. November 4, 2008 has come and gone.

Oh that's right, it's the "Conservative News Network". :eyes:

[DrPresident]

5. ...and we're still concerned about AIP, you evil bitch. n/m

[Champion Jack]

6. Why is this stupid fucking moron still getting any coverage?

I mean, who really gives a DAMN what this sack full of hammers says?

[sohndrsmith]

7. In ONE sentence, Palin says:

"I still am concerned about that association with Bill Ayers. And if anybody still wants to talk about it, I will...
...the campaign is over. That chapter is closed. Now is the time to move on"


...this is all in the same sentence. She is WAY out of her league, this one.

[Blue Diadem]

8. She's still trying to rally her base? It's bad enough threats increased when she started her shit,

now the election is over and she's still going to keep it up.

Maybe it's time we start letting the media know we are fed up with Palin, she's a danger to President-elect Obama and we want no more of her on TV.

[Canuckistanian]

9. Sarah Palin now joins an illustrious list

That of FAILED and FORGOTTEN vice-presidential candidates. Joe Lieberman is an exception, an example of someone who died politically long ago and refuses to stay in his coffin.

Why on God's earth does this woman STILL have a platform to speak from?

[LynnTheDem]

10. "still concerned about Ayers"; is that coz ya still don't know the FACTS, Palin'?

Are ya REALLY that stupid, Palin'?





Rhetorical question. Yeah, she really is that stupid.

[BlooInBloo]

11. So now Palin's pallin around with terrorists.

[MidwestTransplant]

12. Is it me or is her grammar horrible and makes her sound (maybe she is) an absolute moron.

[political_Dem]

13. I saw the Palin woman do the interview today. I just have to say she is full of BS.

After all, she must be that stupid to think that after all she's said (not to mention putting Mr. Obama and his family's lives in jeopardy) that she's willing to work with the man?

Face it, chienne, you burned your bridges when you called Mr. Obama a socialist, un-American, a terrorist and not experienced. How dare you think after all that Mr. Obama will even speak to you, let alone meet with you? You must be crazy.

[Life Long Dem]

14. So is she getting her own cooking show?

She can then cook up some of that home cooking! Or does she already have that show on CNN or similar?

[doc03]

15. What on earth kind of assistance could she give?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Stuff a moose in it, Avon lady.

[Raschel]

17. Why isn't she concerned about helping her baby and family? That woman cannot be spending any time

with them.

[WinkyDink]

18. Did the media discuss DEMOCRATIC "CONCERNS" POST-elections where we "lost"?? I think NOT.
