“It’s Not on My Radar Screen,” Already She Is Starting the Lies

She dogs people in the Republican Party yet she is strategizing heavily to make sure her number stays up. It may have been a savvy move by Palin to agree to an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Sarah Palin says that when she got a surprise phone call from the McCain campaign one August afternoon, asking whether she’d like to be on the Republican presidential ticket, the then-Alaska governor says she didn’t doubt for a moment she was ready for the challenge. How arrogant can one be? It’s the second most powerful position in the world and her reply just shows that she has no sense of reality.

“When I got the call, it was not such a shocking call to me,” Palin told talk-show host Oprah Winfrey in a highly anticipated interview that aired Monday. “I felt quite confident in my abilities and my executive experience and I knew that this is an executive administrative job. I was happy to get in there and contribute.”

Nor was Palin deterred by the fact she had five kids at home, including an infant with special needs.

“It never occurred to me that I couldn’t do the job because of children,” she said. “My children are my strength. … They allow me to be grounded.” Naturally being the Vice President of the United States she would have Nannies at her disposal but no one would ever question a man the same question of his ability to do the job if he had five children.

But what did shock Palin was just how much the campaign knew about her and her family before she even formally met with Sen. John McCain to discuss the job. Contrary to what was reported in the media, Palin said, she was extensively vetted, and the campaign knew exactly “who they were getting.” Are you kidding, of course she was vetted!!! They knew everything from soup to nuts as any candidate would. No one with a brain would put themselves into a position where they would be embarrassed in the middle of a campaign. Of course this time it didn’t work.

“After this vetting and the hours of discussion about the background, my record, my family, what I stand for … I thought after all that I better confess it now, the one skeleton is in my closet,” Palin said. “I did get a D 22 years ago in a college course. And I thought that was going to be the extent of the controversy in Sarah Palin’s life.”

One year later, Palin has seen more than her fair share of controversies but has emerged as one of the hottest Republican stars and is among the early leaders for the 2012 presidential nomination.

Her session with Oprah came a day before her already-bestseller “Going Rogue: An American Life” will hit bookstores and Palin will hit the road on a tour of some of America’s most conservative corners.

The book and concurrent publicity blitz have all the trappings of an early salvo in the upcoming race for the White House, but Palin said 2012 isn’t on her radar screen. That’s such bull poop.

“I am dealing with so many issues that are important … and what I am finding, clearer and clearer every day, what I am seeing is that you don’t need a title to make a difference.” More bull poop.

In the wide-ranging interview, few subjects were left untouched, including Palin’s early and frequent clashes with the senior ranks of the McCain campaign. Everyone in the world knows she is a rookie but she hasn’t figured that out yet.

My favorite of all was her resignation as Governor of Alaska. “I resigned as governor of Alaska because I wasn’t going to run for a second term, and I was heading into a lame duck term,” Palin said of that decision, which shocked political observers.

“We came back [from the campaign] to a new normal in Alaska. Everything had so changed in my administration,” Palin continued. “There were so many opposition researchers up there in Alaska that were sent, probably, by the Obama camp. … It was a point where my state of Alaska was being hampered by my presence there.” Even more Bull Poop.

I’ve personally had enough of Sarah Palin and the stories we are subjected to from the talking heads on CNN and Fox. We as a nation are screaming UNCLE! We have had enough. I am a Republican, for the record and if she is the nominee in 2012 maybe the new 2012 movie scenario isn’t that far off. What is next? Bristol does a spread on Playboy?

The best quote I have read to date about her original lie is “She’s not retreating; she’s reloading.” When she states that 2012 isn’t on her radar, she follows with this quote from her dad which clearly indicates that she is prepping heavily.

Carrie, Carrie, Carrie, What a Disaster You Are!!!

The former Miss California, Carrie Prejean appeared on “Larry King Live” on Wednesday and got so upset with King that she accused the veteran talk-show host of being “inappropriate” before threatening to storm off the set.

What irked Prejean was the discussion of how her sex tape may have impacted her recent lawsuit settlement. When she was asked by King why she settled her lawsuit settlement against the Miss California pageant, the interview became bizarre to say the least.  So bizarre that if you didn’t see it, it’s worth the laugh!  

 Here’s how it went down…

  ”You sued the pageant after they fired you, they countersued, and then you accused them of a number of things including religious discrimination, clearly an issue important to you,” King asked. “Why did you settle? You don’t have to tell me the terms of the settlement, but why settle since you had a fight to carry on?”

“You know what Larry. Everything that was discussed in mediation, I’ll say it again, is completely confidential. I’m not, I’m not gonna be able to talk about that.” Prejean retorted. 

King continues: “So, you can’t even say why you settled? How does that break what you settled for?”

Prejean then reiterates what she originally said and then follows up with: ”Larry, you’re being inappropriate.  You really are.” 

Inappropriate?  Is she stupid?  If she has a handler she needs to fire them.  She is always throwing up all over herself.

Miss California appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live to promote her new book. Prejean believes she lost her pageant crown due to her opposition to gay marriage.  Prejean currently has a new book in stores titled “Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate, and Political Attack.” I will not be making this purchase. 

If you recall the story of Carrie Prejean, she was headed to a career at least as a mid-range celebrity until Perez Hilton “outed” her. The flamboyant celebrity blogger was the judge at the Miss USA pageant in February of this year when he asked this now famous question of Prejean, who was Miss California: infamously told a pageant audience that she believed marriage should be between a man and a woman, and that she was proud to live in “a country where people could choose gay marriage or opposite marriage.  She seems so stupid!

“It was later revealed the pageant had paid for her breast implants. She was eventually dismissed from her contract amid allegations she failed to make scheduled public appearances. 

Carrie openly stated she believed marriage was between a man and a woman, when she should have said “I believe people have the right to live as they chose” and left it at that. If you look closely, Perez Hilton lowered his head and the pageant host put his finger to his collar as if to loosen it, showing he was nervous.  

Outraged Peres went home and created this funny YouTube video.

And that set in motion a national debate which led to the head of the Miss California organization working to remove Prejean from the post, stating that she did not meet all of her scheduled obligations and was not honest about informing them of semi-nude photos of her taken when she was 17 years old.

Back to the Larry King show, gay man from Detroit calls to ask Prejean a question.

“I’m a gay man and I love pageants,” the Detroit caller says. “I’m sure that you, Carrie, have got, you know, great gay friends that helped you possibly win. What would you give them as advice if they wanted to get married?”

By this point, Prejean has disconnected her microphone and claimed to have not heard the question.  When King asks the ex-Miss America to put her microphone back on, she refuses, saying, “you’re being extremely inappropriate right now and I am about to leave your show.

Check it out… here!

Carrie’s behavior went south not so much when she said she couldn’t answer the question, there are ways she could have got around it, but when she then threatened to leave the show. What Carrie should have said – notice that she needs coaching here – is “We discussed some terms that I can’t reveal, but I’m happy with the outcome” or words to that effect. But, she didn’t do that.

I couldn’t believe she was being so childish. At a time when she could have shown grace under pressure, she caved in.

Carrie lost whatever support she had with that display because it reveals her character. She’s going to have to do a lot to regain the trust and support of the American public.

Is she is so fake? – Rihanna Breaks Her Silence, Because She Is About To Launch A New Album?

Despite all that’s happened, Rihanna doesn’t hate Chris Brown. In fact, she still loves him.  She states, “I don’t hate him at all,” she tells Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America. “I actually love and care about him and I’m concerned about him doing well. I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up, and just take this as something that you had to go through to grow up and learn.” 

Many, including myself were left thinking, nice but it smacks of promotion for her new album. 

I instantly thought she could help a lot of women by talking about female pattern baldness too, right???  Kidding.

Why come out now?

Maybe because those terrible songs are not playing out great?

Maybe because they did not sky rocket to the #1 spot?

I wonder if she tried to get on Oprah?

Is her marketing team now on shock mode?

Is she fake and so overrated?

I actually feel like she is too young to really know how to react.  I believe that she needed to take care of herself before she could address anything else.  So what she is in the public eye and she is a person that a lot of young people follow.  Maybe the message we need to recognize is self-worth and being able to give to ourselves before we can give to anyone else. 

Hopefully she took the last year and sought counseling and intensive therapy but she is just 20 years old.  If she did see therapy and decided to heal herself first, I totally respect her.  If she didn’t, I hope she does seek help.

 At 37 years old, I do not know how long it would take me to come out and talk to people about a situation like that, how can we expect a 20 year old with so much pressure from society to know how to act?

I think it is still too early for people to ask or for her to mention the words forgiveness, reconciliation or rekindle because its just so premature.
