NEW YORK—Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is still mad at media coverage of her candidacy, particularly "anonymous, pathetic bloggers" who she says spread falsehoods about her.

The Alaska governor also says she's addicted to Carmex lip balm, grew up playing flute and trombone, and says sports taught her everything she knows. She shared those and other insights in the March issue of Esquire magazine, scheduled to hit newsstands Feb. 16.

In the interview, Palin, who rocketed to fame as John McCain's running mate in last year's election, reiterated her complaints about media coverage of the campaign. She said reporters continue to question whether her 9-month-old son, Trig, is actually the child of her 18-year old daughter Bristol from a secret previous pregnancy.

"I'll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask -- double-, triple-, quadruple-check -- who is Trig's real mom," Palin told Esquire. "And I thought, 'Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism.'"

...

In the interview, Palin also reiterated her wish that she had had more input on strategy during the campaign.

"If I were giving advice to myself back on the day my candidacy was announced, I'd say, 'Tell the campaign that you'll be callin' some of the shots. Don't just assume that they know you well enough to make all your decisions for ya," Palin said.

3. She could see the French horn section from where she sat with the trombones

We missed out on a lot of foreign policy experience with her not being elected.

4. Something tells me she is not going away.... I think we are stuck with this troll until 2012... ugh

[BattyDem]

5. Is she STILL going on about this crap?

Bloggers ... campaign ... internet ... journalists ...etc., etc.

Hey lady ... the election's over. You lost. Time to move on! :eyes:

[Orsino]

16. Still looking anywhere but within to explain away her failures.

She's the quintessential second-Bush-term Republican. Look for her to assign blame to litterbugs, expired dairy products and cosmic rays.

10. Yawn

Just like a movie star or singer who creates havoc to invigorate her career, Palin seems to approach the concept of publicity with enough ridiculousness to get noticed.

Sarah?

I agree there may have been a lie or three, (and a couple of unsubstantiated rumors that I'm not convinced were actual lies) a silly photo-shop or so, but the truth was quite, quite bad enough. You obviously haven't learned that lesson yet.


Nobody cares right now. Go away.

11. Palin's mother was a hamster and her father smelt of elderberries!

27. I'll take care of that right now, having just finished a taco salad

[maxsolomon]

12. beyond the Trig speculation, what falsehoods were spread?

pathetic anonymity is the best thing about the internet!

[walkaway]

13. Sarah Palin is a brilliant, talented, truthful and goddesslike

signed, anonymous, pathetic blogger spreading falsehoods

[Ganja Ninja]

14. I can't decide who's more annoying her or Joe the Plumber?

:freak:

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. It's a toss up.

[Arugula Latte]

20. She needs to dump Snow Machine Dude and run off with Joe the Plumber

They deserve each other.

Ahh, just when I'm feeling a little down and edgy about life, along comes a Palin story to make my day...

Just like in the campaign, she's spreading lies and even though these accusations have been debunked over and over again, she believes that if she says something enough times, it will magically become the truth. Media Matters has a very comprehensive story about this whole issue. Everyone knows Trig has Down's Syndrome because of all that radioactive tainted moose meat mom ate.

There is alum and salicylic acid in Carmex since is was originally created to use on cold sores. These are drying agents that may make a person want more Carmex. I believe that she needs the Carmex to keep her lipliner tattoo from fading (one of my personal favorite Palin rumors!).}(

18. I'll send her my name and address.

[MiniMe]

19. Fine. Let's see how far you get running your own campaign

:rofl:

[WI_DEM]

21. Still? She has to learn that a real politician has to expect attacks even on the internet.

or rather especially on the internet. If she stays in the spotlight it will continue.

[Matariki]

22. "sports taught her everything she knows"

And that explains A LOT.

[Johonny]

23. the pathetic bloggers were the ones supporting her crap

[Blue_In_AK]

24. Sarah has a new biography coming out

which Gryphen at The Immoral Minority has fun with here http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/ , second post down. "New Sarah Palin biography coming soon to a Conservative Christian bookstore near you." :rofl:

As much as we wish that she would go away, she just won't.
