I hope she doesn’t just “accept” the media’s bias and stop responding, like Bush did. This is what was so refreshing about her is that she took it to them when they “didn’t play fair”. You don’t whine about it, you ACCUSE.

Hear! Hear! Reload, Sarah, reload!

She should confront the comment and ask “what did you mean by the dumb twat comment?” Hit the ball back into his court.
She should specifically key in on the “twat” comment and ask him what he meant by it. Sometimes you have to get down in the mud with the pricks. War of words.

Maher: Stop degrading women with whom you disagree with.
But it’s ok for him to do so,how Hollywood.

“So, again, what exactly is there in those two sentences that convinces you that she’s the one for the job”?

...hey, don’t vote for her or support her. I don’t give a sh*&. Who WILL do all of the list you mentioned, guaranteed? Got somebody in mind? I like hearing someone say “life isn’t fair”. I think it indicates a willingness to cut entitlements. Her “fish needs a bicycle” comment tells me she wants nothing to do with scuzzy organizations like NOW. Sure as hell beats what I’m hearing from every other possible candidate excluding Cain and Bachman, who would have my support as well.

She rather cleverly used their own smarta$$ weapon against them. The initial Steinem comment was about women needing men And then what did Ole Glo do? She married a man!

If you don't give a s*it (you're a classy gal) then why even respond?

As to the laundry list of important if not crucial issues waiting for the next POTUS, what is there in Palin's CV (besides really nifty one-liners) that makes you think she could possibly be capable of doing the job? Take your time...

Bill and Tina Fey certainly have ridden upon Sarah's back to further their own careers. They have been sucking off her for a long time, wonder if they have ever bothered to thank her? Like thank Sarah for the use and abuse of her as a known public figure in order to gain attention and keep their names in the public arena. Like lice on a child's head, they infest their turf with bothersome, twisted and unearned cruelty aimed at Sarah.

Both are pathetic. But then, this is their celebrity MO. Liberals have never ever been stand up people.

Sarah is what they can never be...able to rise on her ideas, actions and by example of her life as she lives it without trashing others.

"...BILL MAHER, who looks like a slimy child molester,..."

He could be now. It's not much of a jump from his old plagiarist and pimp days.

"a paraphrase taken from a Gloria Steinem phrase yr. 2000

The original concept and quote- I think that I remember that it began to be popular somewhere around the 1970s. What can I say.....I'm older than I seem:)

[EveningStar]

“Nobody ever promised life was going to be fair,”
“I need NOW’s defense like a fish needs a bicycle,”

...those 2 quotes right there prove that she’s the one for POTUS 2012 IMO!

I want whatever you're smoking or drinking. Neither quote is original and soundbites hardly qualify one to be POTUS.

No this is Palin’s way of telling the media their time of ginning up fake crap is coming to an end. Greta tried to get a mudfight going between Gov Palin and Bill Maher. Instead Palin responded she was done responding to such comments. Now when the media tries to dismiss her like this she can just decline to speak about it and instead focus on issues.

The tabloid stuff is done with. Gov Palin accomplished her mission in slimming the media and showing them for the thugs they are. Now she will pivot into something else. her polices and positions.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You don’t understand. This is a new phase for Palin. She has defeated the Left on the character and name-calling. Why do you think the Left never challenge her on policy and the issues?

[rabidralph]

Gov. Palin will pick her battles. When she’s president, she’ll own the bully pulpit and be able to respond whenever she pleases. At some point, the press will be sorry she calls the news conferences.

[Hot Tabasco]

“accept” the media’s bias and stop responding, like Bush did.

Bush and his administration were under assault daily by the crap being thrown onto the wall hoping for some to stick.

There comes a point in time where you just have to ignore it and tend to business........I don't fault Bush in the least for his ignoring all the crap that was thrown his way........

[SarahPalinForPresident2012]

She’s a genius
