Report: Nobody Likes Sarah Palin Because She Is Disorganized!

Some members of the Republican party reportedly have the long knives out for Sarah Palin. Jonathan Martin reports that certain GOP candidates are less than thrilled with Palin because…sometimes she is less than organized.

According to multiple Republican campaign sources, the former Alaska governor wreaks havoc on campaign logistics and planning…A recurring theme among the complaints is the problem of last-minute notice. In one instance, Palin had agreed to do a fundraising event for Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul, but campaign officials had difficulty pinning her down for a specific date, and the amount of time she offered got smaller and smaller.

Unless “problem of last-minute notice” is code for she is not qualified to run this country I sort of fail to see why this is such a big deal. Couldn’t similar complaints be made about many people in a similar situation? Oh wait, apparently she also pissed off Glenn Beck:

And her multiple schedule changes so annoyed Glenn Beck that he finally decided not to have her on his radio or TV show to promote the book.

And then he had her headline his Restoring Honor rally so presumably he wasn’t that annoyed. To be clear, the point of this long article is that if Palin can’t organize herself now how can she run a Presidential campaign (short answer: she has no intention of doing so?): “Yet the problems that GOP campaigns have when booking her for events illustrate the challenges Palin will have in the event she runs for president. In part because of trust issues, she will not expand her circle and establish the sort of infrastructure necessary to coordinate basic matters such as surrogacy and travel.”

There are many, many, many things wrong with the idea of Sarah Palin running for president, but it’s hard to read a litany of complaints directed at her apparent inability to organize and not wonder if the same criticism would be lobbed at a male candidate. So she’s badly organized — this perhaps is not a surprise considering we are talking about a woman who essentially shifted her communications HQ to her Facebook page — is this really the worst thing about her? Either she’ll hire a better team or she will continue on her merry, 3rd party headline-making way until she announces she can do a better job for America by not running for President.

Sarah Palin is starting to wear out her welcome with the Republicans, they have just about got all they can from her, so I think you will start to see a lot of comments like these. No serious republican was ever serious about her, they just knew she could rev up the crowd, and they needed that. That grifter family better start putting their pennie aside, they are probably going to need them in the future, when all the offers dry up!!!

From the article:

According to a source familiar with the situation, she backed out of planned interviews with conservative talk-show hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin the morning she was scheduled to talk to them

This is a flat-out lie:

This is why people hate journalists.

Is this worthy of an article here on Mediaite?

I don’t usually agree with conservatives, but why must so many articles be about her?

People have their own reasons for liking her.

Other people have their own reasons for disliking her. Why should we focus on that?

She’s popular on the right and unpopular on the left. No critical thinking required to make that statement.

that’s weird. I think it’s worthy of a Mediaite post to call out a shoddy article. (Shoddy articles on Politico? Who’d'a thunk it?)

I agree, for the record; there are lots of reasons why I dislike Sarah Palin, but I don’t really care about her organizational skills or the purported lack thereof.

Glynnis MacNicol is jealous of Sarah. Why else would she embarrass herself with crappy articles like this one?

But mainly because she is a walking, talking disgrace to humanity.

How can anyone believe any of this crap if we already know that one major set of “facts” in article claim that both Mark Levin and Hannity were jerked around… both Levin and Hannity have adamantly denied that and Levin has demanded a retraction. I notice you smartly decided not to include that part since you have probably already heard about that. Just another big pile of steaming bull poop similar to that other big smelly pile of steaming bull poop by Vanity Fair.
The left keeps trying to potshot Sarah Palin…. if she used a blue toothbrush instead of a red one we would probably hear about it from some dips**t on the left.
If the liberals spent as much time investigating the real crooks and corrupted on the left, people might actually start to believe some of the stuff they write.

Just to add to earlier, I understand that Grassley and King people don’t know what this dolt Jonathan Martin is talking about… they have never had any problem with Palin…. she did raise a lot of money and promote Republican candidates in Iowa recently.

I guess this is now the hallmark of liberal journalism now…. anonymous sources galore. I guess liberals feel that all they have to do is make up an entire story and feed it to their lemmings for consumption and total belief…
as evidenced by the sheer stupidity of the left when you ask them about anything of importance… their intelligence comes from the low lifes on The View, Jon Stewart, Bill Mahr and all those other “genius” and “honest” left wing wackos.

Glynnis; you’ve been called out here. Either double check his sources and yours to respond or Dupuy caught you doing some poor work.

Oh, please! Do those banal, bumptious, bilious old buffoons in the Republican Party think Sarah gives a hoot about them? She is a super-star who make her own rules. She is big news. She walks tall, stands proud, and doesn’t need pundits & politicos nearly as much as they need her. She is the Populist Princess!

Corporate America is attempting to buy this election, and Glenn Beck is in on this attempted coup.

Seems to me her message is on point and completely organizes, “the GOP had better adopt the Conservative Tea-Party agenda, or be GONE”! Nothing un-organizes about that, unless of course your among GOP leadership who wants the “same old, same old”. Any affront to the authority is going to be perceived as un-organized and deserving of censorship because, after all, they know better!
