For me, one of the worst things about Sarah Palin is how she just walked away from being Governor of Alaska, and used the excuse that she didn't plan to run for re-election. How disrespectful and selfish! When you run for public office, you make a commitment to your constituency that you will serve the term of office to which you are elected. How, in good conscience, could she ever run for another public office, let alone President of the United States? If things aren't going her way three years into the presidency, would she just walk away from that, too? #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
Here's Oprah's chance to - at the very least - call her on some of her bullshit, and lo and behold Sarah get's a pass. It would have been like shooting fish in a barrel.
She is a nightmare of historic proportion and I'm afraid there is nothing on earth that can counterbalance the dystopian hellscape her neverending presence has created. #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
Interestingly, Sarah writes in her book that she considered having an abortion in Louisiana when she found out she was pregnant with Trig, because "no one would know."
I can't see this because I'm at work, but I usually regard Oprah's interviews (unless you're James Frey) as being as hard-hitting as a Beanie Baby. So my question is this: Is Oprah actually making Palin answer tough questions, or is this just a fluff piece? #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
@Tchotchke: How is the James Frey interview hard hitting? She just cried and asked him why he had lied to her. Oprah is all about herself. This Palin interview is no different. And I can't even begin to explain how upset it makes me to hear Palin talk about abortion being the easy way out. It's the hardest decision and frankly it is more than just, as she put it, "less than ideal." Sarah Palin is still an idiot, and a danger.
@blahblog: I didn't say the James Frye interview was hard-hitting, just less wishy-washy than her other interviews, comparatively-speaking. With him, you at least knew she was pissed off and wanted him to know it.
Also, I second the "everything is about Oprah" sentiment. She's so narcissistic, it kills me. If you put her, Bono and Madonna in a room together, the sheer weight of their egos would cause the world to swallow itself. #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
So, a writer that was caught fabricating parts of his life story in a book, Oprah tears to shreds. A woman who was running to be the second most powerful person in the country, Oprah throws softballs. They might as well be drinking herbal tea and discussing last night's Desperate Housewives. #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
Someone's been practicing how to avoid answering questions...
I also love that Palin's answer to Oprah's questions about balancing work and family as a politician was basically "well we're all equal now! no need to worry about that!"
I know it's an anti-abortion cliche, but she totally dismissed millions of women when she talked about how abortion crossed her mind. "Oh well I could see how a woman would want to take the easy way out!"
@likepenguins: It's clear from her book she has a very loose and vague grasp of American history and geography. Perhaps she thought it still belonged to the French? Those socialists will pay for all kinds of medical procedures, you know. #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
@willwriteforfood: Maybe she figured she could take a raft up the Mississippi, like Huck and Jim, all the way to Canada. (which she can see from her house) I'm not sure how that would procure her abortion (which women have because it's the easy way out, dontcha know?), but it would make for a cracking feature film. #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
@BetteD: I am so lucky that I had a joint and got starbucks on my lunch break, cause that was the dumbest thing I have ever seen. #sarahpalinoprahliveblog
