Gotta Get Some Palin!
I wasn’t in Alaska a lot, but I followed her on the campaign and just liked the way she did business. She seemed to be a pretty straight shooter and a real person, not a puppet in a suit. Even this whole quitting thing hasn’t really changed my opinion of her personally too much. I don’t now how I feel about her professionally anymore, but time will see where all this latest controversy is headed.
Anyway, she gave her farewell speech and in true Palin fashion, she left quite a few good quotes for the media. For instance:
Our new governor has a very nice family, too. So leave his kids alone!
However, my favorite has to be the following:
Some straight talk for some—just some—in the media, because another right protected for all of us is freedom of the press. And you have such important jobs, reporting facts, and informing the electorate, and exerting power to influence. You represent what could and should be a respected honest profession, that could and should be a cornerstone of our democracy. Democracy depends on you. And that is why, that’s why our troops are willing to die for you. So, how about, in honor of the American soldier, you quit making things up.
Gotta love it!
Thanks to Assoluta Tranquillita for the heads up.
