1. i hear she saved on her car insurance by going to geico!

it turns out she did not go to geico...what a suprise!!

2. Falin' is a pathological liar.

NOTHING you can believe in.

[DarthDem]

3. Wow!

Campbell Brown did a REALLY good job there! Even got in some good knocks against Bay Buchanan parroting the RNC blast fax talking points - - but did it with a smile, and not in a nasty way, so it was effective. Unlike some one else I could name, but I can't think of who that might be.

Good work, Campbell!!!

4. "Obviously, Bay, you got your talking points from the McCain campaign..."

:D

[LiberalFighter]

5. Palin put the jet on e-Bay 3 times and failed to sell it.

Actually sold it thru a broker.

State bought the jet for $2.7m
Palin sold the jet for $2.1m
Sold for a loss of about $600,000.

7. So how does she transport her new VP staff?

Alaska does not have adequate prison capacity and contracts for space with a private facility near Phoenix. On Thursday, 24 percent of the 4,546 Alaskans in jail or in prison were serving their time at Arizona's Red Rock Correctional Center, said a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Corrections.

When the state first began using the plane in November 2005, prisoner transport accounted for 58 percent of the jet's use, and Murkowski's office used it 23 percent of the time. Over time, Murkowski's usage increased.

Oh, I'm sorry, her state's prisoners?

6. Sorry, your reserve was not met!

Thank You. Try selling your shit somewhere else.

8. Campbell Brown isn't familiar with Palin's cutting special needs funding?

She seems to be on a roll with challenging Palin, maybe DUers should be sending her updates.

[stlsaxman]

9. Let's hope Gloria Bwhoreger takes notes from Campbell on how to be an actual journalist

[stlsaxman]

11. and Babe "That'll do, pig" Buchanan forgot to mention that Palin KEPT the money

from federal funding for the bridge she "turned down".

[realitythink]

12. WTF?

What the hell happened to Bay's face? I think she's been hanging out with Joan Rivers.

[soupkitchen]

13. So is McCain going to sell Air Force One?

Or why should we be impressed?

[Liberalatus]

14. Wow

I am more impressed with CNN every day. Have they always been this fair? Or is this rare? Is it the whole channel, or just a few commentators that are good?

Habitual liar, and half-truth spouting woman. Needs to be kicked.

[empire we are]

18. What?

Go Away Troll. CB is bought, as is CNN. What do you think she takes home every 2 weeks? Kicked? Please.

[Liberalatus]

25. Okay, that was rude...

"Go away, troll"? Who are you calling troll? Way to be civil. I thought Cambell Brown actually did some good reporting.

And yes, I think Palin is a liar, and half-truth spouting woman, and should be kicked. If you don't think so, that's your opinion, but I'm pretty sure you just misread my whole post as pretty much everyone here is saying the same thing I was saying.

I'll admit my phrasing "may" have been easy to confuse, and I am willing to accept an apology.

[Thrill]

15. Unreal. They think you can't question her at all.

[malik flavors]

16. Damn, Bay doesn't even want them to exam her record, She just wants a free ride.

Get real, lady!

[Quixote1818]

17. This is why Biden is going to have a field day with her in the debate. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

19. Where did they dig up

that hag Buchanan? When she is presented with fact, she claims bias. The republican party used to be respectable (of course, that was 40 years or more ago).

[Straight Shooter]

20. Most popular governor in a state that's as red as freshly-spilled blood.

Come on, this is the state that kept sending Ted Stevens back to Congress! What do you expect?

Seems there's a little political hanky-panky about that plane, too. Something about a guy named Harris who bought the plane, then contributed nicely to her campaign. Sorry, no linky-dinky, but it's another thread on DU, I believe.

Palin is a real piece of work.

[stark6935]

21. Noun 1. lying - the deliberate act of deviating from the truth

[stark6935]

22. Campbell Brown is doing really good.

I've never watched her show until that insane moron Tucker Bounds made an ass of himself. I hope she keeps the truth coming, and not some crap right wing talking point.
