Here's Sarah Palin speaking at an Alaska GOP dinner. At the 4-minute-mark in the video she says the following:
"So I'm looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra, and the McCain campaign, love 'em, you know , they're a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray."
McCain staffers are not amused, says CNN. Jeez, and on a day when John McCain went out of his way to be nice to Palin by telling an audience that most people voted for the Republican ticket because they liked his running mate!
Thank you so much for telling us where the remark was in the video--if I would've had to listen to that whole thing, I would've been calling Rush for some of his stash to alleviate the pain!
Oh, about her remark--typical of what's been coming out of the gal. I'm wondering why she ever accepted the VP bid in the first place. Oh what am I saying? We all know why she accepted.

Ho Hum! Yawn! David Knowles, you are a pathetic loser. Yellow journalism suits you boy! You just can't help yourself can you. Why don't you aim your self-deluded powers of journalistic reporting at maybe Hillary Clinton and about how what's going on in Mexico is our fault. You are one sick of SOB!

holycrap...
gee, maybe the Mexican drug dealers wouldn't be trying to pry their way in...if AMERICANS didn't have such an appetite for what they got!!
thats a no brainer....legalize weed, so people can grow their own....Id put money on it...its the weed trade that is fueling most of the violence...if you cutout the middle man....they don't have a customer base...
just like back in prohibition..booze gangs were all over the place, alot of violence due to it...but as soon as it was lifted, the violence stopped...

If they legalize it, I swear I'm gonna open a 'fat camp' for the side effects that will follow. It's a sure money maker.

ROFL...unnamed staffers that should be charged with campagin malpractice getting miffed at a Palin joke. Them giving advice to what she should do...you've got to be kidding. They resent her because she got fed up with the bunch of them and I'm sure she told them so. They try to use Palin to hide their own incompetence. Do you really think Palin cares what the liberals are saying about her...of course she doesn't. You waste a lot of time and energy on the so called Palin stories...it is actually getting funnier with every got cha' story you put out there. You are probably more offended that Palin prays than anything else. Why don't you worry more about the guy you put into office and what he is doing...he is the real joke here..and not a funny one.

Annie: We laugh about him too, but Palin is a funnier one. She is just one heap of comedy love--I'm grateful to her beyond imagination.
I'm sure the 'getting fed up with' stuff ran both ways between her and McCain's more seasoned staffers. It's got to be one hell of thing for political staffers in the heat of campaigning to realize what a colossal mistake a pick like Palin was.

amazing... ===================================================== When you are petitioning God on behalf of something you pray with a like minded person. I would never join together with an unbeliever or a skeptical person in that type of prayer. Witnessing to someone is not prayer. When you pray with an unbeliever or a skeptical person you are praying for THEM...not yourself or a situtation facing you that you need God's guidance with.

Annie: Another repuke parroting the same old pathetic recycled shit. Afrer 8 years of crap shit where the idiot Bush destroyed this country, you have the audacity to blame Obama when he has been in office for only 66 days. Were you in a coma for 8 years ????????? Or did someone drill a hole in your head that allowed all the brain cells to ooze out so you couldn't think ???????? But then, again, why think when you can sit on your sorry pathetic ass and continue to parrot the same old pathetic recycled shit ????????????????????? If Palin wanted to pray, why didn't she just do it by herself ?????????????????? Why did she need somebody else to pray with ???????????????? Give me a break. This idiot woman just doesn't know when to shut up. But then blame, blame, blame is the GOP mantra because it is never their mistake and it is always someone's else's fault for everything that happens in their shit ass life. Stupid is as stupid does. If this is the best you loser repukes can find in your party to lead, good luck because you are going to need it.

Geez, McCain hands Palin the opportunity of a lifetime to be Vice President and this is her thank you? Everyone is at fault they lost; McCain's apparently atheist staffers, the media - - everyone but herself of course. Sadly, there are conservatives who will probably agree with her.

Mrs. Palin has NO CLASS at all, it's all 'me, me, me'. I don't like EXTREMISTS, and I don't give a hoot how 'American' she tries to present herself, the FACTS speak far louder than her demagogue ways. Mrs. Palin has been, is and WILL ALWAYS BE an OPPORTUNIST. Her religious views impede her from understanding REALITY, since she has her very own brand of what the truth is. I also would NEVER hold hands with Mrs. Palin to pray, I don't belong to a sect, like she does, and she can say whatever she likes, all EXTREMISTS think they own the truth, that GOD speaks only to them and through them. Go home to your family, Mr. and Mrs. Palin, and do God's work there, instead of seeking the riches and the limelight that you crave so much. You are a false witness, a false prophet, a false Christian. You will be made to kneel before GOD, your arrogance is paving the way.

PCL....I know that is what you guys like to think....but the truth is Palin is the only one that brought any life to that campagin....and she still has many supporters. McCain didn't win...I never expected him to...put Palin was the only thing that energized republicans. She was the one drawing the crowds...not McCain. . I don't really give a rats ass who doesn't like her...and really she doesn't either The woman walks to her own beat, follows no one, and I like and admire that.
