    Fame Wh0re! Palin needs a reality show!!

    • UGH!

      What is Barbara “The Crypt Keeper” Walters gonna get out of this delusional blowhard that Oprah could’nt????

  • me

    Five parts? She can’t speak intelligently for five minutes.

  • Lara

    Why is Barbara Walters dignifying this woman with such attention? Really appalling and depressing.

  • J.R.

    YUCK!!

  • Mirdeb

    The dumb leading the dumber…

  • VibeCat

    me – what you said! I was thinking the same thing!

    I know that is five parts I can miss. I wish everyone would please ignore this woman so the rest of us can. She’s an idiot.

  • ks

    Hey Dan, she is the FORMER Alaskan governor. Good riddens-now if we can all just make her GO AWAY from the national scene. She is an embaressment to Alaska and Women, and no I never voted for her. I have met her and do not care for her.

  • Ann

    If you all don’t care, why post? She scares liberals because she’s popular and she’s right. Keep up the bullying, hating tactics, it only makes people rally around her more.

    • Pete

      Ann, you’re delusional!

    • amy m

      ann your right she’s a strong women with plenty of great things to say – i love the people that come on here and go on and on about how stupid she is and how she has nothing to say. Apparently she has a lot to say, she’s got a best seller before its release and everybody wants her on there show.

  • Samantha

    Sarah Palin needs to get a life.I dont like her at all.Also I dont like Barbara walters either.The Daytime Talk show The view has been on the Air since 1997.Its Time for the show to end its Run.I even to watch it.I dont like the 4 hosts Barbara walters.Elisabeth Hasselbeck.Joy Behar.Sherri Shepherd.They did to go away.Its time for a new show to takeover the 10:00am spot.

  • Harry Peters

    She gets my flag to rise, ya know what I mean?

  • Rosalie

    Okay, I am not into Glee at all. Whenever I see anything that has to do with that show, I don’t don’t click on it, or I just pass the page if its on a magazine. It’s that simple. If you don’t like Sara, don’t read the articles about her. You all call her dumb but yet you all can not figure out how to dismiss her? Unbelievable. And I by no means am a suporter of her, but I do enjoy reading about her and listening to what she has to say. You know, politicians are pretty entertaining.

    • me

      If people don’t express their displeasure, then the networks will think we all love this crap and they’ll end up giving us more. Of course Miss Walters will be the first to tell us the following day how great the ratings were.

  • Ben

    We’re moving closer and closer to socialism, we’re going to let foreign terrorists into the U.S. to try them, the dollar is collapsing, the economy has tanked, and there is a very good chance that some of our enemies could get a hold of nuclear weapons. It makes perfect sense, therefore, that liberals spend approximately 98.5% of their time complaining Sarah Palin about and telling us all what a horrible person she supposedly is. Can all of you go back to San Francisco where you belong, please?

    • RICK B

      BEN– ”RIGHT ON” I would love to see, and know if Nancy Pelosi has more intelligence than Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin has more brains in her little finger, then Pelosi has in her whole body. Listen to that knucklehead talk. She speaks a whole lot of nothing. Probably because she’s from California? A ND SHE’S THIRD IN COMMAND?!!!! GOD HELP US!!!!

    • Lala

      …What? I think you spend 98.5% of your time making up false statistics. Also, California wasn’t the only blue state last November. The economy collapsed and nuclear weapons and terrorism existed before Obama came into office, which I believe 98.5% of people out there realize that, regardless of their political affiliation.

      • Glenn Woods

        The economy should have been righted by now, but with every move Obama and his Cronies make, they worsen it. From a disastrous and ineffectual Stimulus Bill loaded with Pork to a Cap and Trade Bill that will greatly increase energy bills to a Socialist Health Care system proven the world over to fail, how do you think the economy can recover? Most small businesses out there are holding on to what money do have and scared to death to invest it. With business taxation about to rise by 25% it is no wonder why many are simply closing their doors.
        The Nuclear proliferation will continue under the present policy. The U.N. is impotent. The only solution is a Military one. There it is I, said it. Of course that won’t happen under the current administration. Iran doesn’t consider the Obama administration as offering even a threat of Military action. Iran will get their Nuke’s. Iran will use them. You can take it from there.

    • amy m

      Wonderfully put Ben I could not have said it better myself~!!!!!

  • RICK B

    ”WOW” All of you must be socialist democrats? Why is everyone afraid of Sarah Palin? Must be a lot of jealous female democrats? Who can’t have a career,be a good mother, intelligent, competative,having a handsome, good looking, and supportive husband. You democrat women are really jealous? And beleiving a 19 year old scumbag former ex- boyfriend ”LEVI” who didn’t even have a job. I support her 100% for being a great American, and has her real birth certificate on file for everyone to see. ”KICK A’ SARAH”!!!!!

    • Nance

      And your snide remark which is a lie, insinuating that Obama wasn’t born in the US…you need to spend some of your time reading or watching intelligent TV. Try going to Politifact.com where they tell you the truth in an unbais way unlike Fox News!! Obama was born in the US and stop spreading the lies like Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, to name a few! And Palin IS an idiot and all you had to do was watch her interviews with newspeople before the election and it was quite obvious she isn’t all that smart. What person resigns their post to write a book..she is cashing in on her popularity that is coming from mostly men, since she is attractive..but women are inherently smarter then men and that is why we see the real person. Read truthful polications or watch truthful TV and you will see the truth!

  • Lisa

    Sarah Palin isn’t doing anything anybody else doesn’t do when they have a book coming out, especially political figures. Oprah and Babs aren’t doing anything different, either. If you don’t like Sarah Palin, don’t watch her, but she’s not stupid (she never actually said “I can see Russia from my house”!)

    • me

      Of course she never said it…she doesn’t know where Russia is.

    • Nance

      She absolutely did say “I can see Russia from my home.” I saw it on a TV interview she did before the election and she is an idiot! I really like John McCain..don’t know what was wrong with his brain last summer..maybe some sort of dementia?? He has even said, of late, that she isn’t prepared to be Pres..that is an utter understatement…she will never be Pres…when she talks you can’t always tell what she is talking about!

      • amy m

        She did not say that Tina Fay said that on SNL!!! WOW and your claiming to have seen it yourself huh? I dare you to post the clip where she said that.
