Last week I saw a clip of Larry King. He had a panel of 4 guests on and they were talking about Sarah and her ‘ accomplishments ‘.One was James Carville,one other liberal voice and the two Palin supporters were Kristan Cole and a female GOP pundit E.J. Cup. I thought the panel choice was a little unusual. I had no idea who Cup was ( she resembles a sort of a ‘perky’ Katie Couric as it turns out) but Kristan Cole has been hidden away since the AFT discussion where she was ‘ SUPPOSED TO ‘ have made public the AFT financial disclosure.
Cup defended Sarah ( bragging) and she used as part of the list of her accomplishments… she was governor of the LARGEST State. This is not the first time I have heard a Palin defender use this Fact as an accomplishment to her resume like this was something special .( they would LIKE TO have you believe this )
The total population of AK is about 700K +.
The online info for the State of Delaware ( one of the smallest ) shows a total population of about 881K.
So… in the mind of Palinbots how is the ‘physical size’ relevant to the conversation…? It isn’t… but they like to use it as such.
Since there are more people in one of the smallest States, Delaware, we could logically say the Governor of Delaware has a harder job. ( more people )
Do you really think the Delaware Gov. would try to make a case like THAT?
What it really says is that they are really grasping for ANYTHING to make a case for their cause. Because they have nothing else. The cupboard is bare.

I recently read another Carl Hiaasen book and I just want to say how amazed I am at the similarity of Sarah Palin to the characters in his books.

I am a National Board Certified Teacher in Library Media.
Just got my scores today.
I can’t believe I passed. But I did. Whoo for me.
Now I can seriously consider if I want to spend $25,000 on an EdD. (Psst. I don’t have $25,000 and don’t want to do a student loan so if I can’t get a scholarship I guess my perpetual student days are over.)
