Palin fires back at leaks questioning her smarts

[ducks]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fired back on Friday against post-election claims by aides to Republican presidential candidate John McCain that she thought Africa was a country, not a continent, calling the anonymous sources "jerks."

Palin, McCain's running mate in their unsuccessful White House campaign, told CNN the allegation "is not true." She said the leaks could have come from people who helped her with preparation for her debate against Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden.

She said she remembered having conversations during debate preparation about Africa and the North American Free Trade Agreement.

A Fox News report cited unidentified campaign sources who said Palin did not know Africa was a continent and could not name the three countries in NAFTA -- the United States, Canada and Mexico.

"I think if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA or about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional, and those guys are jerks," Palin said.

It's not fair and it's not right," she said.

She also described accusations that she spent exorbitant amounts of money on clothes for the campaign as "sexist."

I get so sick of the -ist words. It is not sexist because if a male candidate spent $150,000 on clothes, people would say the same things about it.

[ChumpDumper]

She didn't say the accusations were untrue.

[Bigzax]

where do all of obama's millions in campaign contributions go now? just asking...

[ChumpDumper]

I would be very surprised if it wasn't all spent.

[Bigzax]

i want receipts!!! :lmao

[Bigzax]

it must have been like in brewsters millions when he had to spend all that loot by midnight...

[MannyIsGod]

i want receipts!!! :lmao

So does the FEC. They watch over this stuff pretty closely. The most likely destination for any unspent Obama funds will be Hillary Clinton's campaign debt or the coffers for the Obama re-election campaign. They can basically be used for another campaign or donated to charity.

[Bigzax]

cool, thanks for the facts Manny! :tu

She said the other 49 states needed to follow Alaska's lead on equal treatment of women. WTF?

he puts it in his pocket and then gives it to people to get to vote his way later

McNasty's team characterizing pitbull bitch as a hillbilly prima donna is confirmed.

Ever hear of google?

[Anti.Hero]

Look at you sheep.

Michelle Obama who has been wearing $1200 dresses the entire fucking time goes on Leno and bashes Palin's expensive clothes and all the kiddies laugh. What a bunch of idiots.

Dude....youre happily ignorant, arent you?

My best guess, his surplus goes to the DNC political warchest to be spent as needed in 2010.

[DaDakota]

Palin is a moron...move on.

Her 15 minutes are up.

DD

[DarkReign]

You cant fix stupid.

[exstatic]

Look at you sheep.

Michelle Obama who has been wearing $1200 dresses the entire fucking time goes on Leno and bashes Palin's expensive clothes and all the kiddies laugh. What a bunch of idiots.

I'll bet she buys her own. Matt Drudge was probably spending 24/7 looking for a DNC or campaign tie in to her wardrobe. Did you see anything on his site?

I don't think anyone cares how expensive Palin's clothes are, just where the money came from.

[baseline bum]

Fuck, how many times is this dunce going to play the sexism and baised media cards?

[CuckingFunt]

Look at you sheep.

Michelle Obama who has been wearing $1200 dresses the entire fucking time goes on Leno and bashes Palin's expensive clothes and all the kiddies laugh. What a bunch of idiots.

Yeah, right.





No one watches, or laughs at, Jay Leno.

[Good 'N Plenty]

Yeah, right.





No one watches, or laughs at, Jay Leno.

I watch Jay Leno on a regular basis and his monologue is funny as hell.

[ChumpDumper]

I'll bet she buys her own.True enough. She's loaded.

[sook]

I hate this dumb bitch and i hope she never sniffs dogshit out of alaska

Most the people in this thread are so fucking lame.

If you all remember, several rumors about Palin surfaced that proved to be absolutely false right after she was announce. Some of these new rumors have already been proven false. You have to be a complete fool to believe rumors to begin with.

Think about it. You have McCain advisors that didn't win the election for him. She is a scapegoat for them

Grow up.

Grow up.

Except most of these items were known well before the election's outcome but were simply not reported until AFTER the election. Newsweek had an agreement for inside access to the campaign and much of this was known BEFORE election day but they couldn't report it.

Do you ever post anything thats right? Ever?

Back in 2004, Fox would not stop bitching about John Edwards' $400 haircut. now though, people talking about Palin's clothes is "nitpicking" to them.

When Michelle Obama was on The View she wore a $148 dress from White House/ Black Market.

$1200 dresses my ass.

[ratm1221]

$1200 dresses my ass.

She had a $300 J Crew dress on, on Letterman and Dave made a joke about it in contrast to Palins wardrobe. It looked like all the other dresses she wears. So I'm not buying the, $1200 a dress either.

They need to keep reaching, maybe they can find something.

Jess told me last night that she probably did have some $1200 dollar dresses on at some point during the campaign due to the designers that bought them but I do believe she bought them with her money not with donated money.

So does the FEC. They watch over this stuff pretty closely.
