    I'm thinking she glimpsed Obama in his home state and saw her future.

    They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.

    And yokels from Wasilla are glamorous?

    And Hawaiians are of course REALLY from Africa, so she's right to be afraid.

    And she thinks the problem was that during the campaign we weren't able to see "The Real Sarah"?

    I just want to give a golf clap to the folks who are advising her. Keep up the good work! She's worthless as a politician, but as a foot-in-the-beak public speaker her moments at the mic are real thigh slappers.

    @Steverino Begins: That's just it--I think she has no chance, whatsoever. She's the intermission entertainment between elections. She couldn't undermine her own credibility more if the Dems were behind every move she makes. It's like watching someone set themselves on fire with wet matches.

    Here's what Palin posted on her Facebook page today, apparently nervous that she yammered something she shouldn't have during the interview and trying to backtrack:

    Voters have every right to ask candidates for information if they so choose. I’ve pointed out that it was seemingly fair game during the 2008 election for many on the left to badger my doctor and lawyer for proof that Trig is in fact my child. Conspiracy-minded reporters and voters had a right to ask... which they have repeatedly. But at no point – not during the campaign, and not during recent interviews – have I asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United States.

    - Sarah Palin

    Notice that she says SHE never asked for the birth certificate, she never says that she didn't encourage the booger eating morons who are asking for it. Nice try, Palin, but you're still only two clicks brighter than a turnip.

    Has anyone just said she's vile, yet? I mean, that's what this comes to, really. The woman is vile and the media vastly overestimates the interest in her. I think covering Palin is totally fair game for Gawker, but for mainstream media outlets like the cable newsers, she's filler, at best.

    Vile, rancid filler.

    @RandomLunatic: Matt Taibbi had a long diatribe about this:

    [trueslant.com]

    Some choice quotes:

    "...Sarah Palin is on an endless crusade against assholes. It’s all she thinks about. She doesn’t really have any political ideas, in the classic sense of the word — in fact the only thing resembling real political convictions in Going Rogue revolve around the Trans-Alaska pipeline and how awesome she thinks it is..."

    "...The book is really about her battles with these people [she deems assholes], how much they did and do suck, and how difficult and inherently unfair life is for a decent hardworking American gal who just wants to live life, serve God, and try to be president without being bothered all the time..."

    "...Palin’s extraordinary ability to inspire major national controversies around these injustices done to her immediate person is going to guarantee her some kind of major role in American politics for the next dozen years. In this regard she is going to have a willing ally in her supposed keen enemy, the mainstream media, which likewise loves nothing more than a political narrative that has nothing to do with politics..."

    Yes, by all means, Sarah. Make "the birth certificate" an issue when you run in 2012. In fact, I think you should make it your whole platform.

    As the Adlai Stevenson character tells the Nixon character in Gore Vidal's The Best Man, "You have no sense of responsibility towards anyone or anything. And that is a tragedy in a man, and a disaster in a president. " Well, it's also a tragedy in a woman.
