John McCain's biggest mistake is turning her barracuda teeth on the party that made her famous. And she is using Fox News to broadcast the beatdown.
"Obsessive partisanship" has hurt the party, she said, striking a more independent beat than the partisan tune she sang on the campaign trail.
"We have so many people who offer advice, but I'm going to continue to be, whether some of them like it or not, pretty darn independent, and not get wrapped up into a strong political machine that hasn't been extremely successful in some ways."
Could "pretty darn independent" evolve into her own political party? Please Sarah, make it so!
As much as I loved that part of the article, it was the ending that turned my stomach. What. A. Hypocrite.
She rails and rails against the media, right? Well, she tries to benefit from the media, also. Check this out.
As Palin spoke, she and her husband Todd Palin loaded four news crews into two small fishing boats and headed into Bristol Bay from Dillingham.
The Palin family -- Todd's sister, mother and father, as well as nieces and at least two children, had picked the journalists up at the airport in Dillingham and shuttled them to Bristol Bay in old pickup trucks and SUVs.
On the bay, Sarah Palin showed how they spent time each summer hauling up pre-placed nets, emptying them of captured salmon, and tossing them back into the water.
Todd Palin was all smiles as he captained the fishing boat in Bristol Bay out to nets filled with Sockeye.
He grew up commercial fishing these waters and Sarah Palin has been making the summer trip to Dillingham for many years. She joked that even though she's been helping her husband haul in fish for decades he still yells at her for doing it wrong. The governor and another hauler lifted the nets out of the water and pried the salmon out.
It was tough work. She wore rubber gloves, knee-high boots and waders.
This was a portrait of the moose hunter and folksy hockey mom that emerged soon after she was picked by Sen. John McCain to be his running mate.
Sorry Fox, you fail. That was a portrait of someone destined to make millions of dollars selling an image. If she really was a moose hunter and folksy hockey mom, she would have left the four news crews back onshore.
I don't know what to think about all this, as usual, with Sarah Palin. Whatever she is doing, it looks like it will do major damage to the people who made her famous in the first place. Ouch. We surely are NOT free of her in the evil media, since she loves to milk it, even though it is often sour, also.
Sarah Palin went fishing, and the Republican Party caught a beatdown.
