It's becoming damn apparent that they really didn't vet this lady at all.

Palin's responses on radio talk show very unbecoming

The governor's appearance on KWHL's "The Bob and Mark Show" last week is plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician.

Anchorage DJ Bob Lester unleashed a vicious, mean-spirited, poisonous attack on Senate President Lyda Green last week while our governor was live on the air with him.

The governor's office eventually tried to spin the public relations disaster, releasing a statement reading, "Governor Palin was caught off guard by Bob Lester's reference to Senate President Lyda Green."

I don't buy it. Early on in the conversation before Palin started to crack up, Lester referred to Sen. Green as a jealous woman and a cancer. Palin, who knows full well Lyda Green is a cancer survivor, didn't do what any decent person would do, say, "Bob, that's going too far."

But as the conversation moved on, Lester intensified his attack on Green.

Lester questioned Green's motherhood, asking Palin if the senator cares about her own kids. Palin laughs.

Then Lester clearly sets the stage for what he is about to say by warning his large audience and Palin. He says, "Governor you can't say this but I will, Lyda Green is a cancer and a b----." Palin laughs for the second time.

1. that's great

all the more ammo to dig up later, haha.

[fasttense]

2. Isn't Alaska a little too exotic?

Oh wait, that's Hawaii.

"A commentary by Cokie Roberts in which she opined that by going to Hawaii on vacation, Obama risked being seen as "exotic.""

[WinkyDink]

19. Seems foreign to me.

[Vinca]

3. This is just speculation, of course, but there is little known about

this woman prior to 1992. Just saying . . . I'm betting interesting stories come out over the weekend.

[Olney Blue]

8. Nude beauty pageant pics, for example?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

15. Wishful Thinking Much?

Seriously, this woman was a fundie pretty much at birth. I think that sort of thing is highly doubtful.

Beyond that, we know that she was a local sportscaster in the late 1980's. As in, pretty much in the public eye.

[tbyg52]

20. Wow. That sounds like a treasure trove. nt

[bushmeister0]

4. Alaska is a folly! Give it back to Putin.

[WeDidIt]

5. Manna From Heaven!

The hits just keep on coming and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet.

After this is done, she won't even be able to get elected dog catcher of Wilasa.

And the Obama/Biden campaign need do nothing more than be gracious and let the chips fall where they may.

Grampa bet the farm on snakeeyes.

6. Great find, and a MUST READ article you linked to!!!

Everyone, read the OP's link!

[WeDidIt]

9. Better yet, get the audio!

Seriously, get the audio. It's out there!

[Pepper32]

14. Thanks for the link. I listened to that audio.

This entire diatribe was over the TIME of the state of the state address? Seems pretty sad and juvenile that she chooses to encourage a personal attack on the airwaves of her political opponent rather than working the issue out. Sounds like Palin's interpersonal skills SUCK if she thinks that that is how you solve a MINOR problem. How would she handle a large one?

After laughing and chortling through all the tasteless, inappropriate remarks made about her political opponent, she ends by sayng "GOD BLESS"!!!

[Skidmore]

7. Any chance with will get play in the M$M, or just be considered

a local thing? There certainly must be audio archived of that.

[Pepper32]

12. I'm listenting to the audio right now

10. Lyda Green's reaction to VP pick today

Alaska State Senate President Lyda Green (R): “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?” (Green is from Palin’s home town of Wasilla.)

More at the link...

My personal fav:

Alaska State Representative Mike Doogan (D): “Either Sarah Palin has talents and skills we were not aware of”, or “John McCain fell down and hit his head”. He also called the prospect of Palin potentially needing to take over as President”pretty scary.”

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

17. Love IT!

Let's now rule out the "hit his head" explanation.

[PA Democrat]

13. K & R Wow. Palin's ambition knows no limits, does it?

[GoesTo11]

16. She reinforces McCain's theme

"How do we beat the b****?" "That's a good question."

[K Gardner]

18. K&R... Hope Olbermann gets this audio.
