Sarah Palin Keeps a Tight Rein on Staff, but Her Daughters Lack Supervision
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyRelated Stories Bristol Palin Battles the DWTS Conspiracy Theories Mean Girl Alert: Is Meghan McCain Jealous of Bristol Palin? While elsewhere a prince and a well-educated commoner have captured the world's attention, the Sarah Palin clan will not let the posh have their moment. In a rare interview with the "lamestream media" for this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, the will she or won't she? 2012 presidential contender tells reporter Robert Draper that she is indeed exploring a run for the country's highest elected office. Draper describes the conspicuously lean and loyal ...
Sarah Palin's Vanity Fair Profile Writer Admits Mistake
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyThe October issue of Vanity Fair's 10,000-plus word story on Sarah Palin paints a portrait of a high-tempered, power-hungry woman who has become increasingly isolated as her star rises. The profile also contains a mistake. Writer Michael Joseph Gross acknowledged to the Associated Press that he confused Palin's infant son, Trig, with another baby, who suffers from Down syndrome, at a rally in Independence, Mo. Politico first reported that Gross mistook a child who was the son of conservative activist Gina Loudon for Trig. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's blog Political Fix reported that ...
Before-and-After Photos Fuel Latest Palin Online Rumorfest
By Paul Wachter - Politics DailyThough there were important elections across the country Tuesday, the real question dominating American politics, or at least the online discussion thereof, is whether Sarah Palin has had a boob job or not. The rumor, which first appeared on Wonkette's Facebook page, stems from before-and-after pictures that are the common staple of check-out counter magazines that chronicle every gram of fat that celebrities gain and lose. As the question went viral, fueled by follow-up posts on Jezebel and other blogs, new photos poured in to either support or dispute the allegation. The ensuing scrum ...
Obama Aide's Fiasco Goes On, Despite Apologies
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Feb. 3) – White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has long been known for his foul mouth and ferocious temper. But one particularly inelegant remark he made last fall resurfaced with a vengeance recently and may yet turn out to be the most contentious of his career. Emanuel is reported to have told several liberal groups their idea was "f---ing retarded," during a political strategy meeting in August. The groups wanted to air attack ads against Democratic lawmakers who were unsupportive of President Obama's health care reform initiative, which was already facing tough opposition from ...
Sarah Palin Rebuffs 'Birthers,' but Some Supporters Just Won't Have It
By David Sessions - Politics DailyA day after calling the questioning of President Obama's citizenship a "fair question," Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page to make herself clear: She is not a "birther," and compared the hunt for Obama's "true" birth certificate to rumors during the 2008 campaign that her son, Trig, was not really her child. "Voters have every right to ask candidates for information if they so choose," Palin wrote. "But at no point -- not during the campaign, and not during recent interviews -- have I asked the president to produce his birth certificate or suggested that he was not born in the United ...
East Coast Birthers Beef With West Coast Birthers
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn the "I Love the 2008 Campaign" department, the "birthers" are alive and not so well. Politico likens the current schism between rival Barack Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorists to the hip-hop beefs of the 90's. East Coast Birther chief Philip Berg has filed suit against West Coast Birther poobah Orly Taitz, whose name sounds like an inflammation best treated with some Gold Bond powder. Among the complaints is the charge that Taitz called Berg a "Shyster." That's not to be confused with the more recent adjective form, "Shysty." YesToDemocracy.com is all over it, as usual: Ladies and ...
Sarah Palin's Latest Trials and Tribulations
By David Knowles - Politics DailyBy now it should be clear to everyone that, following her failed run to become the nation's next Vice President, Sarah Palin has no intention of fading back into the Alaskan woodwork. To wit, she has continued a somewhat steady effort to remain in the media spotlight since early November, even though her favorite interview topic is how unfair the media has been to her. In this way, she has become indistinguishable from pop stars like Britney Spears (that ready-made metaphor) whose music videos complain of the price of fame while promoting continued fame. The latest instances of Palin-watching ...
