Breaking news Palin interview from Oct 31 just found!!
(my apologies to FTARH fans)

Palin: I just want to say that
I'm not a Spirit Bunny anymore.


Palin: I've always hated that name.
It bugged the heck out of Joe the Plumber and me.

JtP: It's just such a put-down!!
Palin: Really!

Palin to press corp: You know we've got a lot of spirit,
everybody, right?

Press corp: <crickets chirping>

Palin: And we're gonna destroy Obama
next week! All right!

Press corp: <crickets chirping>

Palin: You know, it takes a lot
of courage to get up here..
and do something that
you know people will make fun of.

Press corp: <crickets now silent>
<snip>

Palin leaves stage in huff, throwing her pompoms to the ground...

"She also said even if all the things being said about her were true the media has an obligation to release the names of who said them (apparently she means the sources who talked with the news media) "

Uhhh, I thought she had a degree in journalism??

The worst decision she could have made was to get national stage publicity. At least in Alaska she could keep a low profile. Now nobody will ever take her seriously again.

Nice.
She's just an ignorant person who shouldn't have been picked as the running mate of McCain who happened to be a woman. She made Dan Quayle look brilliant.

Agreed, the Dems need something to distract people from the real issues.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,

Wow.... Just wow......

Nice.

You don't understand the difference between legitimate criticism of a woman, and discriminatory criticism of a woman because of her gender.

Actually, Democrats realize that you can concentrate on more than one issue at a time. You must be thinking like a Republican - you know... can't handle running a campaign and working on the economic crisis at the same time.
