Sarah Palin Still In The News… PLEASE GO AWAY! | Drink The Kool-Aid!
At least one of the more disconcerting leaks about Governor Sarah Palin turned out to be true.
Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, arrived in Phoenix, Arizona, on election night hoping to deliver her own concession speech. “It was a great speech,” Palin told Matt Lauer on the “Today” show on Tuesday.
Aides to her running mate, Senator John McCain, told her it was not customary for the No. 2 to speak, she said. "But, you know, I thought, even if it was unprecedented, so what, you know?" Palin told Lauer. "Geez, let's do something a little bit out of the box there."
And now she is. Unleashed and not humbled, Palin is on a speed date with history, upending protocol as she goes. She put herself on full display, in interviews with NBC and Fox News before McCain had a chance to take a no-victory lap on "The Tonight Show." And she has many more appearances scheduled throughout the week, including a star turn at the Republican Governors Association meeting in Miami on Thursday.
Palin could be turning to television to restore her tarnished image, jump-start a 2012 presidential bid, or both. But so far, viewers have mostly witnessed some of the very traits - disarming candor and staggering presumption - that drove some McCain campaign aides to leak damaging accusations about her.
