ex-legislative director John Bitney, ex-Senate president Lyda Green, ex brother-in-law Mike Wooten and many more.

Interview a bunch of "exes" and you get some unflattering comments.

Whatta shockeroo.

Too bad the emails contradict the movie. Talk about bad timing!

In a preview clip from the film, Bitney and Green bemoan Palin’s habit of using her Blackberry during meetings.

My wife plays Brick-Breaker during important conversations. She says it helps her focus.

Perhaps Sarah is dong the same thing. I'm sure those meetings were quite boring anyway.

“In a preview clip from the film, Bitney and Green bemoan Palin’s habit of using her Blackberry during meetings.”

It’s called “multi-tasking” and very intelligent people usually do it. It does not surprise me that Palin is a multi-tasker.

Wow! She accomplished all those superhuman feats in half a term as Governor during which she wasn't even paying attention? She'd have to be an off-the-charts genius to pull off a stunt like that.

Simply amazing.

LMAO!!!! These filth are just getting warmed up. Seems like they have no doubt that she'll be running in 2012. Bring your worst, weasel-piggies. She's going to steamroll the whole putrid glot of these scumbags, and not even slow down.

8^\/

The media finds her frustrating because she won’t stand still and let them bore-sight everything they’ve got onto her.

"...as if using a Blackberry. He adds that Palin was “just very unengaged in the conversation” and often, “she wasn’t listening.”

Oh really now? So now he's a mindreader.

Example: During my (not very long ago) days at IBM, I was in Worldwide Marketing for High Performance Computing. For about 2-3 years of that multi-year role, I had the pleasure of working for a young lady I'll simply refer to as Wendy.

Wendy is actually the daughter of Jimmy Page (yes, THE Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame). She's tiny, loooooong platinum blonde hair, big blue eyes, and a southern belle accent that would melt the hardest of hard-cases. Always dripping in diamonds.

We traveled together a fair amount on business and were in countless meetings together. She'd flit into the room....and you could immediately read the faces around the room; those who didn't know her ("..oh brother; guess we see how SHE got promoted..."). They would proceed to treat her like a total bimbo the entire meeting.

The whole meeting........Wendy would sit at her little laptop and type-type-type away as others spoke. Nonstop. Rarely looking up; maybe a little nod and an "um-hmm" of an acknowledgement.

Of course, I loved it; hard to contain my laughter. See, Wendy has six college degrees....count 'em, six.....one of which is a BS in Electrical Engineering; one of which is an MBA. Freakin' brilliant.

Near the end of every meeting, this little distracted, platinum blonde cutie "bimbo"....would take over. She was capturing and analyzing EVERYTHING on the fly on that laptop. She would very politely but firmly ask questions, get clarifications, state her/our position....I mean she'd take 'em apart in the NICEST way.

Again, I saw this so many times it was always SO hard for me to keep a straight face. :)

Point is.....don't judge that pretty female book by its cover, and sure as hell don't think you can pretend to know what they are or aren't hearing, digesting, understanding, digesting, planning as they type....on a laptop or a Blackberry.

Poor abc, this is not a scoop. News of this movie has been previously announced...lol. Both bad timing, given the release of her emails, but also Sarah Palin has withstood everything thrown at her. This is rubbish, by a third rate scammer.

You are right. The world is full of too many mindreaders and as your example shows, a person can be very engaged contrary to superficial appearances. But I'll agree with the frustrating part of the title. It is frustrating to have a meeting while the head person is giving the appearance of not caring. Some would say it is rudeness.

Her accomplishments in Alaska prove she was VERY engaged.

So this Palin slam-fest movie is still untitled? I suggest:

'PDS'..The true story of how an Alaskan patriot won the battle against barking moonbats.
