Sarah Palin, Wikileaks, & Twitter

Sarah Palin recently used Twitter to discuss Wikileaks. The Wikileaks leak is one of the most disturbing breaches in national security in a long time.  Palin took to Twitter to condemn the 'treasonous' act, which of course gained her a lot of scrutiny from her critics.

Here's a screen shot of Palin's Tweet about the deal:

Slog slammed Palin, stating that Julian Assange, the wacko behind Wikileaks is from Australia, and that Wikileaks is hosted in Sweden and therefore the Wikileaks document leak cannot be treasonous.  Why? Because in order to commit treason, it has to be an act by an American against America.

Well, actually the leak IS a treasonous act.  The leaked documents were given to Wikileaks by a US citizen, and therefore are really an act of Treason.  Never does the governor say that Julian Assange or Wikileaks is committing treason.

This is just another example of what Palin dubbs herself as "lame stream media" putting words in her mouth.  Most recently, she made a North Korea gaffe, which was blown out of proportion by major media.

Palin shot back on Facebook via her Thanksgiving address to the nation - and very classily so.

However, Sarah Palin makes a good point. Couldn't the US stop this? I mean...there's gotta be something they could do.  She makes a very valid point.  If she could quickly get an obscure blog to remove pages of her book from their site then why can't the US stop the Wikileaks leak?

Christine O'Donnell for Dancing with the Stars?

Could Christine O'Donnell be on Dancing with the Stars? AOL's Popeater Blog seems to think so, and suggests that Tea Party GOP member Sarah Palin could be behind a push for ABC to cast the former Delaware senate hopeful. 


Christine O'Donnell was so controversial, her primary win was so shocking and is believed to have been one shoe that fell that caused the GOP to lose the Senate.  The GOP did, however, gain control of the house during the 2010 mid-term elections. 


O'Donnell is quirky, and is probably best known for her early 90's appearance at Bill Maher's show, in which she admitted to dabbling in witchcraft. 


With Bristol Palin making it to the finale of Dancing with the Stars, a news story broke that Sarah Palin was lobbying to include O'Donnell in the next season. 


Palin denies the story in her Thanksgiving message to her Facebook fans. She says 'And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars” to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.'


So there you have it.  Sarah Palin is not lobbying for Christine O'Donnell to be on Dancing with the Stars?

Sarah Palin Book Tour 2010 Dates Avoid Certain Cities

Sarah Palin's 2010 Book Tour dates avoid certain cities that one would normally include in a book tour. Palin will not be touring in New York, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, or other liberal meccas of our country. Instead, the Palin book tour will focus on more conservative areas - namely the south and southwest.

Her book tour kicked off in Phoenix, Arizona where her 2008 election running mate John McCain calls home. People lined up as early as 1 am to get in line to have the chance to meet the former VP hopeful in person and have her sign a book - and the event didn't transpire until 7:00 PM.

Some of Palin's book tour is along the path less traveled. She will head to a Dillons Marketplace in Andover, Kansas a Sam's Club in Little Rock, AR, a Costco in Brentwood, TN (Nashville Suburb), and Columbia South Carolina.

Of course, she's going where the grassroots movements are the largest. She's going where her supporters outnumber her foes. Isn't that smart, though? I mean...I'd hate to go to a book signing only to have people tell me how much they don't like me. I'd rather go where I'm loved, too.

The graphic, below will illustrate the entire book tour dates for Sarah Palin. If you have gone to one of her signings, we would love to hear from you.

Sarah Palin's Alaska Ratings Decrease

Sarah Palin's Alaska ratings decreased by nearly 50% during the second week of her reality show, which indicates that some of the buzz about her show has died down. However, there were likely millions who watched the first week because they had to - either or school, for work, to blog about, to critique - and more.

One Fox News affiliate anchor said that Palin's show was like "The Sound of Music" without the Nazis - or the music.

As far as reality TV shows go, Sarah Palin's show offers something that I haven't ever seen before - a seemingly normal American family just enjoying each other. They aren't a family of "little people", it's not a show about someone with multiple spouses, and it's not about someone who has given birth to a litter of children. It's refreshing to see a normal family interact. I don't expect excitement - just an educational hour escape from reality (after watching Kendra).

Although Sarah Palin's Alaska ratings decreased, viewership remains strong. Can't help but wonder how many will tune in to tonight's Dancing with the Stars finale!

Sarah Palin Katie Couric Interview Controversy Continues

Sarah Palin's Katie Couric interview continues to draw controversy over two years after it aired. Katie Couric isn't exactly who you would call a Sarah Palin fan ... and the trainwreck of an interview in 2008 goes to show that.

On Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin had a very interesting hour long discussion about a variety of things, including her views on the press. When asked if she would ever have another interview with Katie Couric, Palin in a roundabout way said no.

However, the creator of this year's "word of the year" didn't simply utter a two letter word - that would be too easy. She went on to indicate that she has a communications degree, and understands the who, what, where, when, why, and how of journalism -and will have interviews with journalists who understand that basic American freedom.

She won't, however, waste her time with journalists who have strong biases against her, and will use whatever she says to create controversy.

Sharp words.

Of course, some say that Sarah Palin is being overly sensitive. the so-called "gotcha" moment is when Katie Couric asked which publications Sarah Palin reads to stay informed. Palin said "all of them" but Couric wanted specifics.

Honestly, if someone asked me what I read, I'd draw a blank too. However, I'm not grooming myself to be the next governor, vice president, or president.

Arguably, Fox News has had some aggressive interviews with Obama and other Democratic personalities.

Should Sarah Palin talk to Katie Couric again? The question should be - would Katie Couric want to do an interview with Palin?

Sarah Palin's Alaska Premiere.

Sarah Palin's Alaska Premiere. Tonight is TLC's ultimate reality show premiere: Sarah Palin's Alaska. This is an 8 part miniseries that gives us a look in to the life of Sarah Palin, the former Vice Presidential hopeful and former Alaskan Governor.

In her days since John McCain lost his bid to become president, Sarah Palin stepped down from her role as Governor of Alaska and has become a Fox News contributor, authored two books, and has given speeches at events across the country.

Sarah is captivating. In the premiere of the show, we hear her say things like "This is Flippin' Fun!" And mentioning that she'd rather be in the outdoors than a "stuffy political office."

I wonder if that statement will hurt her if she decides to run for President?

However, this is going to be exciting, and an unprecedented look in to the life of a public figure.

Are you going to watch Sarah Palin's Alaska?

Sarah Palin Divorce: RUMOR

Sarah Palin Divorce Rumor. Of course, Sarah Palin has been in the center of a lot of political stories. Her rumored 2012 presidential bid, her daughter is in a reality show - and come to think of it, Sarah Palin's Alaska premieres this week on TLC.

It comes as no surprise that Sarah Palin's entire life is in the public eye. Living in the public eye, you become susceptible to the chance of falling victim to nasty rumors.

And that's what's happened to Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin and Todd Palin, despite the rumors to the contrary - are NOT getting divorced. I repeat - Sarah Palin and her "First Dude" are still a happily married couple.

Come to think of it - Sarah Palin didn't even know about her divorce - and $20 million settlement - until she read about it in the grocery store.

She and Todd are pretty good people. They just laughed it off. At least Sarah Palin and her husband know that they will fall victim to these sorts of things like rumors.

Even if you don't particularly agree with her political views, there's something about Sarah Palin that is essentially magnetic. Perhaps it's that she makes up words. Perhaps it's that she refers to women candidates for office as "Mama Grizzlies" or perhaps it's that she refers to the average person as "Joe Six Pack"

There's something about her that's so...down to earth. We can see her as the average "hockey mom" but perhaps not Commander in Chief.

Below see a video premiere of "Sarah Palin's Alaska." It's a show that's highly anticipated. Perhaps it will tell us more about Sarah Palin and what makes her tick.

Barack Obama & Sarah Palin Cousins? You Betcha!

Barack Obama & Sarah Palin cousins? You betcha! The Associated Press reports in the video below that Obama and Palin are 10th cousins through a common ancestor who lived in the 17th century. The Commander in Chief is also 10th cousins to Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney and 11th cousins to President Bush.

I guess it's safe to say that these family relationships are on his mother's side of the family? Obama's father is a native of Kenya so I would think the common ancestors were on the American continent.

The AP gets their information from folks at ancestry.com. Genealogists study family trees and ancestors every day. In some respects, everyone is related if you go back far enough.

Hey...all families are dysfunctional. However, when you're sitting at Thanksgiving this year fighting with your family, think of how dysfunctional it would be for Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, Bush, Obama, and Sarah Palin to be together in one place?
