This obvious Sarah Palin slip of the tongue has gathered a great deal of moss running down the hill of the PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome) Left. And, unlike when Palin was John McCain’s Vice Presidential pick is fighting back.
From her Facebook page yesterday: A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States.
My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…
Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn’t have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can’t remember hearing about them, that’s because for the most part the media didn’t consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors.
Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldn’t resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline. The one word slip occurred yesterday during one of my seven back-to-back interviews wherein I was privileged to speak to the American public about the important, world-changing issues before us.
If the media had bothered to actually listen to all of my remarks on Glenn Beck’s radio show, they would have noticed that I refer to South Korea as our ally throughout, that I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and that I made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime. The media could even have done due diligence and checked my previous statements on the subject, which have always been consistent, and in fact even ahead of the curve. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? (And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars” to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.)
“Hope springs eternal” as the poet says. Let’s hope that perhaps, just maybe, they might get it right next time. When we the people are effective in holding America’s free press accountable for responsible and truthful reporting, then we shall all have even more to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

It is apparent that Sarah Palin, unlike when she was John McCain’s running mate, is not going to take the ludicrous LEFT and their ridiculous perchant to mock even the slightest mistake.
Good for her.
Now, just maybe, we can get back to a discussion of political issues and discard the Saul Alinsky tactics of the LEFT. If not, then the mocking continues.
Like this:
Or this:
More Obama gaffes here.
The RIGHT and Sarah Palin know how to play this game – and WILL.

The American economy grew faster in the third quarter this year than previously estimated, but that bit of encouraging news was overshadowed by a grim new forecast from the Federal Reserve that predicted unemployment would remain at about 9% next year and stay high for years to come.
The pessimistic long-term outlook underscored the possibility that the United States — after years of good times that cast a rosy glow over the American dream and raised personal expectations for the future — may now be headed for a grayer, more financially constricted decade or more.

If unemployment stays above 9 %, Obama is toast in 2012

On Glenn Beck's show earlier today, Sarah Palin accidentally said North Korea when she meant South Korea:
CO-HOST: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in North Korea? [...]
PALIN: But obviously, we’ve got to stand with our North Korean allies. We’re bound to by treaty –
CO-HOST: South Korean.
PALIN: Eh, Yeah. And we’re also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.
Some of Palin's usual antagonists are going nuts over this slip of the tongue, but they don't point out that she correctly identified North Korea as our enemy literally 8 seconds before the mix-up: "We're not having a lot of faith the White House is going to come out with a strong enough policy to sanction what it is that North Korea is going to do."
+++++
Typical of the LEFT

If the 2012 presidential election were held today, President Barack Obama would have his work cut out for him. 48% of registered voters nationwide report they plan to definitely vote against Mr. Obama while 36% say they will definitely vote for him. 16% are undecided.
+++++++
Let's wait and see what his numbers are in 6 months

The haters rested easy and the world was safe again for televised dance competitions Tuesday as Bristol Palin finished third on "Dancing With the Stars," heading off dire predictions by the likes of Joy Behar and bajillions of hysterical online commenters about what might happen if Sarah Palin's daughter dared to succeed.
Best quote: "Going out there and winning this would mean a lot. It would be like a big middle finger out there to all the people out there who hate my mom and hate me."
+++++
Congrats Bristol!

HarperCollins settled a lawsuit Tuesday night with Gawker Media over the site's publication of leaked images from Sarah Palin's new book, "America by Heart."
Gawker posted the Palin excerpts on Friday and even mocked the author's displeasure at having parts of the book online four days before it hit shelves. HarperCollins quickly swung back with a lawsuit, claiming copyright infringement. And by Saturday afternoon, a Manhattan judge had ordered Gawker to pull the pages pending a Nov. 30 hearing.
But before that hearing could take place, the two sides reached a settlement.

Glad they filed suit against Gawker who are left wing nutters

Dumb liberal op-ed pieces are legion, and generally we let them pass in silence. But this one by Richard Cohen in the Washington Post is such a howler that it deserves comment. Cohen's theme is that Sarah Palin is ignorant; the evidence is her criticism of Michelle Obama's famous observation, in connection with her husband's Presidential nomination, that "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country…."

Chris Christie on NBC’s Jimmy Fallon Show last night
Bad move Governor playing the LEFT’s media game. I don’t see other conservatives rolling their eyes over you being from New Jersey (the pit of the USA) or having a 60 inch waist line.
Laura Ingraham has it about right (8:03) n her interview with Sarah Palin:
My suggestion to Governor Christie: The 11th GOP Commandment and in New Jersey jargon: STFU.

Sarah Palin yesterday on the Sean Hannity Show
This is an “on the other hand” argument against a Sarah Palin run for the Presidency in 2012 – in her own words. A way of saving face, yet still being a player in the arena.
Sarah does not have to make a quick decision and can wait until mid-year 2011 to decide if Obama is vulnerable enough. Should the economy continue on the skids, his poll numbers continue to fall, then she will run and slug it out with Mitt Romney. If not, and Obama improves, she will keep her media gig on Fox, raise her family and prepare for future years.

Mechanicals are very important, aren’t they Zed?
When you are in Afghanistan, zeroing in a Taliban in your sniper sights, I am sure you will remember them.
Speaking of sights, did you see where President Obama says he is not thinking of Sarah Palin?
In an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters from the White House, President Barack Obama says he’s not giving much thought to the 2012 election, but is focusing instead on being “the best possible president.” And, he said, he certainly isn’t focused on a potential challenge from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
When asked specifically if he thinks he can beat Sarah Palin in 2012, the president told Walters “I don’t think about Sarah Palin.”
Yeah right.
The focus groups are already testing out campaign themes against Sarah Palin.
