Despite becoming a bestselling author, a highly paid Fox News contributor and a sought-after speaker, in some ways, its as if Sarah Palin never stopped running against Barack Obama.
As the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008, she never really was his actual opponent. But ever since she and Arizona Sen. John McCain lost that election, Palin seems to have carried a sense of grievance. The press, she has maintained, concentrated too much on her and too little on Obama.
And she is not alone.
In a well-received, 35-minute speech Friday evening at a convention of conservative bloggers in the Sands Expo center in Las Vegas, the former Alaska governor returned to a favorite topic: castigating what she likes to call the lame-stream media for failing to vet Obama.
No, the media did not do their job, said Palin, who wore a beige V-neck sweater, her trademark black pencil skirt and an oversized Star of David necklace, perhaps in deference to the locales proprietor, Sheldon Adelson, the Republican mega-donor whose support for Israel has driven his politics.
But, say for argument, they couldnt afford to do the job, Palin said. Say they couldnt afford to send a reporter to Chicago, cause they spent all their money in Wasilla to find out what kind of coffee Bristol ordered when she was 17. Why did they not at least read his autobiography? They would have learned a whole lot and not just about that pakalolo smoking and cocaine snorting, and what he ate. (The last was a sly reference to the passage in Obamas Dreams From My Father about tasting dog meat when he lived in Indonesia as a child.)
I think its funny that the cocktail circuit give me a hard time for eating elk and moose, but come on, anybody here have a pet moose? asked Palin. There is a difference.
Well.. there's plenty more at the link..enjoy...
