For Sarah Palin, it has been a long, strange trip. I have always been a fan of hers. She did a terrific job as a citizen activist in Alaska, and then as governor. I thought she acquitted herself well as a vice presidential candidate; among other things, she thrashed Joe Biden in their vice presidential debate. And that was when Biden was in full possession of his (admittedly meager) faculties.
But then she went show biz. When she resigned, needlessly, as governor, I wrote here that whatever shot she had to be a presidential contender was gone. Commenters blasted me

I saw this, had to double check to make sure it wasn't Tina Fey or somebody else. I have always liked Sarah, I thought this was odd/weird. Poor woman has been through the mill though, hasn't she?

It is well to remember that Gov. Palin was being bombarded with false and fake ethics complaints in a lawfare scheme. She had to use her own money to defend herself rather than state funds. She and Todd were not wealthy people. So she, in effect, could not afford to stay in office. She did not seem to be getting much help from the GOPe. McCain even undercut her when she was her running mate since she was in it to win it. He obviously was not.

Met and loved her and Todd at a Friday evening dinner in Iowa way back when ... this disappoints me.
OTOH who am I to say...

Bottom line: She’s the only thing that kept the McCain presidential campaign from being a total disaster.......

Well she has succumbed to her mockers, Tina Fey, and left the arena of serious discourse. Gifted woman with a good heart. Her transition to reality TV persona is complete.
She proly saw the dough her leggy but talentless daughter was pulling in and thought, what the heck. I can't make a living on Fox.
If this is what she wants God bless her.

McCain and the “establishment” were horrible to her.
As far as everyone else: Like Dan Quayle before her, she was smarter than 99.7% of the people who called her “dumb.” Not to mention more attractive than 99.9% of Democrat women — but that’s easy.

Just to think that this lovely lady might have been our president when McCain went the way of all flesh. I was crushed at the way the media treated her during that brief campaign. That was back when I first saw the MSM with their teeth bared and sharpened and it was then I learned that I was in their cross hairs. Sarah Palin looked really great in the tiny snippet shown in the video.

Sarah is exceptionally talented and one of the few people that I have traveled more than a couple of miles to hear speak. Her biggest mistake in life was hooking up with John McCain but he had a lot of people buffaloed into thinking that he was an American. He was a selfish, bitter, untalented, spiteful jerkweed and I'm being nice because he is dead.
She could regain the national stage once people forget about that dreadful campaign against the Lightbringer, how she was treated by Steve Schmidt and how poorly McCain performed.

I'll go with Ray Charles' view of "rap"......something along the lines of , "I don't want to put down the kid's latest thing, but, hey, ANYBODY can talk."

I don't know why she appeared doing rap in a ridiculous costume, but it was a dumb move IMO.

All respect to Ray Charles and #11; but to talk with a coherent RHYTHM and some catchy rhyme is bugger-it-all harder than it looks.
Then if you want it to make sense and contain meaningful insight, you're raising the difficulty level beyond what most people can even see, let alone reach.

Thank you #10. A lot of people have very short memories. Sarah was an outstanding and popular Governor of Alaska. Yes, the biggest mistake she made was getting involved with McCain. The GOPe treated her as badly as the Democrats did. I remember all the Christian Republican leaders we had back then and none of them came to her defense either. I will never criticize her.
