Palin an 'expert' in not being vetted, DNC says
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

In an appearance on Fox News Wednesday night, Palin essentially said Obama is not up to the task of holding the nation's highest office.

In a statement e-mailed to CNN, the DNC turned the tables on Palin, who had faced questions about the vetting process used by the Sen. John McCain's campaign to help select her in 2008.

"While former half-term governor Palin is certainly an expert in not being vetted, we put our trust in the judgment of the American people who rejected not only the broken policies she and Republicans continue to call for, but also this very kind of childish politics she continues to engage in," DNC national press secretary Hari Sevugan said. "What's been fully vetted and thoroughly rejected by the American people is the failed approach in tone and substance offered by Sarah Palin and her ilk."

Is that so very hard to do? More like this, please Democrats.

3. Finally hitting back at her! I wish she would just disappear
as I'm so sick of her attention getting antics. She needs to grow up.

15. When I taught, I loved teaching the middle-schoolers and Palin
is just like them emotionally and intellectually. Actually, I take that back. Most middle schoolers are smarter than Palin.

6. There's a good chance you may get your wish soon
Republicans are starting to figure out that Palin's endorsement is a curse rather than a blessing. She has unwisely positioned herself on the fringes of the GOP and after the mid-terms the party which has fallen out of power always comes back to the center. Palin will soon find herself more and more marginalized.

14. She (and her opinions) is useless.
Hopefully, the more sane members of the GOP will turn their backs on her/pay her to go away.

17. They are already starting to refudiate her
In the primary elections on Tuesday, several of the teaparty candidates were doing very well to get 20% of the vote, and that's with only GOPhers voting.

haha ha. She's hardly been up to the task of anything.

16. "former half-term governor Palin"...
...gotta love it!

Now let's all practice using that phrase whenever referring to Ms. Palin.

It is a simply factual statement so no one can take umbrage at it. While at the same time it serves to diminish her (already-diminished) credibility. And reminds people she's a quitter. Sarah "Quitter" Palin.
