What I think we have here is another case of self-parody. I found myself thinking of the guv when I listened to these. SNL could do with this guy what Tina Fey did with SP–just lift his words, verbatim. No need to rewrite.

I may be misremembering this, but re: the “Katie-not-center-of-universe” comment, I thought I read somewhere that after the trailer for this film was getting around the YouTube and all the other ‘tubes’ that Palin made a CYA statement like “oh, just taken out of context again”, “came off sounding that way because of the editing”, something like that.

Which is funny, bceause it was edited by Ziegler. So she would be accusing HIM of doing to her the same thing his film rails about the MSM doing to her!

Also, rewatched parts of the Couirc interview and the Media Malpractice interview and picked up a couple of things I hadn’t put together before.

The reason Palin doesn’t interview well is because (I know you’re going to find this one a shocker, so sit downand hold tight to your wine glasses) …….

She doesn’t actually LISTEN to the question she’s asked!

Her hampser-wheel of a brain “fills in” stuff that simply was not there.

Ex. Why she didn’t answer the Couric question about what she reads? She decided the question was derogatory to Alaskans and that Couric only asked it because of stereotypes that Alakans are all ignorant troglodytes. And of course none of that was in Couric’s question whatsoever.

But I also heard her say regarding the “Bristol and Levi are dropouts”, she added that the media was saying “and they were gonna be loking for government handouts”. WTF????? When did anyone ever say that? That’s one of the things her little hampster-wheel brain ran ahead with, and now, even though it’s not actually true, to her it is

Almost the same thing with the Trig Birth Controversy. When talking, she makes no distinction about media type – I guess Mudflats is MSM just like CBS News. ‘Cause I don’t remember one single major news network running a story about it, or even commenting about it.

Pardon me if I want a leader who will LISTEN to what is being said, and not just make up in his/her head what s/he THINKS is being said, or what s/he WANTS to hear.

56degreesN – thanks also for the Atlantic article. A long read but very interesting. Catch the comments he made about Katie Couric interviewing OJ?

The more I read about this man (the arrest video was painful)—I get an extremely disturbing feeling.
Ziegler is not walking on solid planks. Unfortunately, he has decided to put all his energy behind Sarah— whose plank broke long ago. Nightmare, ugliness and tragedy can only follow. It’s true, he’s even creepier than Greta and her husband in their “attention” to Sarah.

To edit the above, it was shortly after the election, material to be used in his documentary.

This guy is ill. He thinks he’s better than Michael Moore?!?! That is like comparing his flip-book of stick figures to Moore’s many documentaries that are, at minimum, awe inspiring and have dutifully served to raise the consciousness of Americans all over. Zeigler’s audacity knows no bounds, unlike his talent, which is very limited.

You are wasting your time… Ziegler doesn’t impress me as a guy smart enough to realize or understand that you essentially calling him an egotistical dumbass.

Thank you for the Atlantic article. That explains a lot. Losing his mother when Nicole Simpson was murdered probably was not a coincidence. Interesting insight on what makes talk radio work, also.

Maybe the “standing ovation” was in Ziegler’s trousers, but I doubt it was a “packed house”.

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I’ll try to be nicer…..
