Palin's star burns brightly as Oprah calls
Associated Press ^ | November 22, 2008

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Oprah wants her, and so do Letterman and Leno. Fresh from her political defeat, Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate that would be astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor.

Hope she tells them she’s not interested at the moment. Maybe in 2012

You are really a piece of work, you know that? I don’t think I’ve seen so much insult thrown around by one person on a thread in a good while.

I have no doubt that if Governor Palin had become our V.P. she would have served us well. You disagree. Fine by me.

Actually, NO! Check out the Videos, she really did do that and the PMSNBC’s. Rachel Madows and Olberdouches and Letterman’s were going Bonkers and Kazonkers over it, playing it over and over again and beating it to death!
No! I am deadly serious about this one unfortunately.

Where the sun doesn’t shine? That is like a 3 meter area around her. Can you be more specific?

And I only speak for myself? Everyone agrees with you? Please.

You're at Free Republic, in case you hadn't noticed. Your opinion of Sarah Palin is decidedly in the minority here.

I agree with you 100%. I watch Oprah all of the time and she is always gracious to her guests. I think that it would be a great opportunity for the world to get to know Sarah as we know her. Since Oprah’s show is primarily for and about women, it is the perfect venue for Sarah to show the women of America what a real feminist is!

Tell Oprah to go jump her fat ass in Lake Michigan.

Here's the deal - Oprah could have booked Palin during the campaign but wanted to make sure her sweet Obama was in the WH first. She didn't lift a finger to get Palin on her show despite her staff's objections.

I realize that Oprah didn't want Palin on her show before the election. That said, I think Oprah's viewers would identify with SP as a woman and her life story. That is why I suggested earlier in the thread that she do a live show so it couldn't be edited. Bush never defended himself in the media and look where that got us.

She's a governor of a state of a little over half a million. The population of a city the size of Sacramento.

Irrelevant, as the state of AK is the biggest in terms of land and borders two foreign countries. It also is the richest in natural resources and animal life, and is the remotest state as well. There are all types of intangibles here that makes the duties of AK Governor more complex than those of the contiguous 48 states.

She doesn't have to deal with an illegal problem

She has to deal with Russia breathing down her state's neck and her state is first in line in terms of air national defense.

an urban problem, agriculture, trough feeding universities, massive welfare class, etc.

She has to deal with wildlife/animal issues, mineral and natural resources allocation, etc. That's no difference than among what other states deal with.

No way,,, she hadn’t even memorized the launch codes yet! She didnt go to Oxford and smoke pot with other future world leaders. She didnt lay naked in a coffin and tell all her sexual past. her parents were never involved in government or unamerican activites, so she wasn’t a legacy either! And,, she wasnt involved in 20 years of crappy DC government. (sarc on)

She could have NEVER been a veep! She had none of the traditional qualifications. What i liked best how suddenly the Dems worry about the children of a working mom and hated Downs syndrome children. Amazing.

Hey dumbass, I heard about 8 of her interviews, you troll. And she is far more articulate than your boy Obama, who stumbles and bumbles when away from a teleprompter. You seem to think these ‘big’ issues you reference are so complicated. They are not. Most are easily solved, once you get some people in office who are not compromised Washington insiders. Like Ronald Reagan for instance. But you keep your faith in all these insiders, all these people who have made so many ‘deals’ on the way up that once they get in power, nothing positive ever gets done and we keep going backward as a country.

And also, get the hell off of Free Republic. You don’t belong here.

Why don’t you run for governor, then? You can take a vacation from Italy.

How could I???

Heh... you're forgiven. A lot of us Yanks can't differentiate British Commonwealth accents from one another.

Before I lived in England, I couldn't tell an Aussie from a Brit, but after being there a short time, the Aussies stuck out as bad as Americans to my ear.

Go Away Sarah and come back in a year or so. These people are just laughing at you and trying to finish your career off.

I am sad to say it but I agree with you.

Tell me then about the problems Alaskans face. With a population of about 700,000, mining, oil, and military bases its chief economy, tell me how that qualifies her to be co-leader of 300 million people.

I'm amazed at how so-called conservatives who are supposedly logical and reason-oriented turn into rage-spouting jerks when their sacred cow gets questioned. You people are no different from the Democrat Underground freaks and you don't even see it.

Let’s see Mike Huckabee made a failed run for the Presidency and now he has his own show. How about if Sarah Palin gets her own talk show and blows Oprahs fat ass out of the water. She can take away the mostly white suburban house wives who support Oprah and build an even bigger support base for 2012. She proved on the campaign trail that women are looking for someone they can truly identify with and I would love to see Oprah go down. Wouldn’t it be great if Sarah Palin were to take her down a few notches after Oprah snubbed her.

Senators just run their mouths.

Senators also pass the buck and can spin their votes to whomever the audience is at the moment.

There's a reason why Senators & Congresscritters rarely become President, and why it's aptly called the Executive Branch.
