Palin rolls eyes when protestor ID'd as teacher
Sarah Palin was up in Homer, Alaska, recently, fishing with her Discovery Channel crew in tow, when she was met with an unpleasant protest: a giant banner reading "Worst Governor Ever," unfurled nearby by local Kathleen Gustafson.

For whatever reason — maybe she wanted to win over a heart and mind — Palin decided to go over and talk to the woman. Part of the conversation was filmed on a camera phone by Billy Sullivan (who owned the property), despite the best efforts of Todd Palin and Palin's security to block his view.

When Palin asks Gustafson what she does for a living, and Gustafson tells Palin she's a teacher, Palin and her daughter groan and exchange eye rolls as if to say, "Of course, only a teacher would be such a liberal nut."

Belittling teachers? Palin really is a maverick.

1. She needs a good lesson in civility.
Although it would be wasted on her band of idiots.

8. Joan Baez could teach her a thing or 654...
This is how you talk to people who protest against you...

3. Smart people don't like Palin...
And we all know that education, educators, colleges and universities, all have a librul lean to them.

GAWD the more she talks, the dumberer she gets. Clearly her daughter is a chip off the ol' gun stock.

11. It was pretty shocking
to see how disrespectful Willow was to an adult in front of her mother, I can't even imagine what would have happened to me if I ever behaved that way towards an adult in front of my mother.

But it is no surprise considering who her mother is.

9. Bristols little jesture and tone when she chimed in was kind of
like a snotty little kid telling someone off.

4. Does Sarah Palin even know what a teacher does for a living?
A teacher can only teach a person who wants to be taught.

12. Birds of a feather...
My evil, money grubbing, fraud committing, money stealing (from family, no less), constant lawsuit filing, evil (did I say that already? It's worth repeating...) used to be but I have disowned AUNT... LOVES Lady Blah Blah... like I said, birds of a feather.
