sarah-palin What a difference a year makes. A year ago Thursday, five days after being tapped by John McCain to be his VP running mate, Sarah Palin made her honest-to-goodness public debut giving the keynote speech on day three of the GOP convention in St. Paul. It was, by any measure, a good speech, and a great debut. It also marked the world’s first introduction to Bristol, Trig, “first dude” Todd, Levi, and the rest of the family von Palin. Oh those happy, hazy, days.

Twelve months later it’s hard to remember a time when Palin wasn’t part of our media, entertainment, and political landscape, dontchya know! Here is a look at the video highlights from the year of Palin.

August 29, 2008 – Senator John McCain celebrates his birthday by introducing Sarah Palin as the running mate “who can best help shake up Washington.” Be careful what you wish for!

The sad thing is that most people still believe Palin said, “I can see Russia from my house” when in fact it was Tina Fey and only Tina Fey who ever said that. What Sarah Palin said is that you can see Russia from Alaska — which you can.

The liberals don’t care who said what, anything to trash this woman and her kids will do, true or not true. They are grasping for anything they can, even stuff from a high school drop out, who is trashing his child’s mother and her parents. They will accept as gospel truth, info from kid who is mooching off his grandparents and is thinking about showing off his “haa-hoo” in Playgirl magazine.

President Barack Obama spoke in the conference hall of the Capitol today about the health care reform bill which is coming close to meeting enough votes to pass in the House of Representatives, which earlier today decided not use the "deem and pass" strategy to railroad the bill through Congress. "I know this is a tough vote for some of you," said our president, adding "Don't do it for Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid, or me. Do It for the American People." Pay attention folks, this speech is definitely one for the history books.
