(Comment by LA Lady)
I can see her in high school, gossiping and laughing behind other girls back with her clique.
Now she fits well with the politics of destruction of the Republicans.
In a few years: pink bows and kittens.
I heard a little of her meanspirited speech at the RNC and now have read a little more.
All that I heard and read is consistent with the talkover goddess personality except it's actually even meaner and more disgusting.
I'm beginning to hear that high nagging voice all the time now. Oh yeah, the news reports are usually playing something she's said.
She compared herself to a pitbull. Now that's just weird. If you're tough, show it by calm, helpful strength. (The toughest people, the wise folk say are the ones who don't mention it, and who are the nicest.)(And the nicest dogs I know are the pitbulls. It's only the poor pits that have been abused or trained to destroy that are consistently a threat.)
In fact, every speech she gives shows how pathetic she is.
All she has is lies. She did not stand up to the oil industry, she made a deal. The state of Alaska got more money for her semi socialist government, and she would fight for the oil industry to get into AMWR and where ever else they want to go.
And it's been shown that she's been lying about so much, the bridge to nowhere, earmarks, etc.
So she goes to the last resort of the scoundrel and blames everyone but herself.
