Sarah Palin To CNN: ‘I’m Not Stealing The Spotlight’ (While Visiting Iowa State Fair)

Video
» 136 comments

Sarah Palin, in an interview that was not conducted by Fox News, spoke with CNN’s Don Lemon while visiting the Iowa State Fair. Palin told Lemon that it isn’t her intention to “steal the spotlight” from her fellow Republicans while in Iowa but, you know. The spotlight kind of totally loves her! The resulting interview turned out well, and both Palin (who has been out of the spotlight as of late) and Lemon (whose star is on the rise) came across as engaging, charismatic and respectful (kudos to Palin for maintaining eye contact with Lemon and giving him thoughtful responses even as her handlers tried to whisk her away and throngs of fans asked for autographs). But enough fawning. Let’s get to Sarah’s comments.

For one, she enjoyed that “the gloves came off” during last night’s debates because it was “good for the electorate.” Lemon then asked her, point blank, whether she thought she was stealing the spotlight away from the official GOP candidates:

I don’t think I’m stealing any spotlight. In fact, if anybody thinks I’m stealing the spotlight, go! Go! Go find the other folks and say hello. Very thankful to have been invited to the State Fair and to get to, with my family, highlight this all-American venue and this is part of our One Nation Tour road trip and we’ll get to do some historical events. And I consider the Iowa State Fair quite historic.

Lemon then asked Palin what she thought of the pervading comparisons between her and another Republican woman consistently in the spotlight: Michele Bachmann.

Yeah, that’s so passé, to pit… just because there may happen to be two women in the race that they would, you know, as Michele had put it once, “get in the mud and engage in some cat fighting.” That’s ridiculous. It’s kind of even a sexist notion to consider that the two women would be kind of duking it out. No. If I’m going to duke it out, I’m going to duke it out with a guy.

Speaking of Bachmann, what does Palin think of that Newsweek cover? Well, she doesn’t think that anyone (“Ask the people around here!”) would consider Bachmann to be, as the cover headline labeled her, “The Queen of Rage.” In fact, she actually found that line to be more of a problem than the picture chosen.

Later, she told Lemon that the “last group or entity to be blamed” for the credit rating downgrade should be the Tea Party and that, in fact, the President is responsible for the downgrade since he’s at the top. That assessment, while not unpopular, is at odds with comments an S&P director made to Politico in an article published yesterday:

A Standard & Poor’s director said for the first time Thursday that one reason the United States lost its triple-A credit rating was that several lawmakers expressed skepticism about the serious consequences of a credit default – a position put forth by some Republicans.

Without specifically mentioning Republicans, S&P senior director Joydeep Mukherji said the stability and effectiveness of American political institutions were undermined by the fact that “people in the political arena were even talking about a potential default,” Mukherji said.

“That a country even has such voices, albeit a minority, is something notable,” he added. “This kind of rhetoric is not common amongst AAA sovereigns.”

So that particular S&P director would disagree, we think, with Palin’s assertion that the Tea Party would be the last to blame and would instead point to the inflexibility of legislators willing to let the U.S. default as a factor in the downgrade.

In any case, have a look at the interview, via CNN, and let us know if you enjoyed it as much as we did:

    You sure can’t blame the President for anything, he is too busy pointing fingers at everyone else.

    Palin said, “No. If I’m going to duke it out, I’m going to duke it out with a guy.”

    at which point Lemon held his hands over his head and said, “Please don’t hit me, pretty please???? I beg of not to hit me!!!!

    I thought she was quite charming this time.

    If she wasn’t usually such a bitch, a whiner, a bomb thrower and publicity whore she could have went quite far in national politics.

    Now….not so much.

    Agreed, if she had not been a “mean girl” and spoken on the issues instead of personally going after the President like some people had personally gone after her, she could have become a contender, but not so much now.

  • Anonymous

    Sarah is back ! Yah ! Waiting more more liberal heads to explode as the vomit of PDS pours forth from their over excited little minds. 
    Oh and after a week, Politico the mouthpiece of the WH,  finds some S & P employee to make some vague statement about “political people making statements about default” to indicate the tea party. Gee did some guy called Obama make some comment about “no social security checks or interest payments”.Clearly, no one in the White House nor Democrat party ever made any incendiary statements about the risk of default at all. Economic “terrorists”…increase being held “hostage” ..what Democrat would have said anything so terrible.

    I watched the video clip and Sarah did handle the press better. She seemed somewhat more comfortable than before. From watching this video I do not get get the feeling she will run for President. This may explain her being a little “looser”. That being said, I suspect she still wants to be a major player.

    Others will differ.

    Common sense is acknowledging that people have pre-maritial sex and that unplanned pregnancies can be prevented through education and access to birth control.  

    And if  a politician who is running for office is not able to teach a certain desired behavior to her own children, how does she think she can impose it on the rest of America?

    an unplanned pregnancy is the situation of rape. And of course even a

    Last I checked, Palin didn’t say that her kids were perfect or that she
    thought society’s kids were perfect. Please provide me such a quote.

    How is making a comment on the President of the United States not a normal activity?

    No, you should not question her. Until Obama gets the same scrutiny, there should be no questions. How’s that for some balance? Also, she’s not a candidate in the ring yet. And she may not be so she should still not be asked questions. Quite a simple concept if you ask me.

    If you voted for Obama, then you have no skin in this game. Therefore, I expect you to not talk about Palin. I’m glad we solved this dilemma.

    How many posts have you made on this single Palin thread? 

    You, yourself, have a Palin obssession.  Yours leans towards the positive, the reality-based carbon life forms lean towards the negative/derisive.

    More amusing is the fact that there’s another crazy brunette lady in town.  And this one has demonstrably improved over time and geniunely shows that she is serious about this POTUS endeavor.  In addition, Bachmann/Palin appeal to very similar voters.

    But, hey, keep up the ProPalin posting!  I know you gotta pay bills, so nice knowing that you are back to contributing to taxes by getting paid to post about Palin. 

    And thank you for leaving my state.  Very considerate of you.

    Lame.

    Sarah Palin is a political creature. She was a VP candidate. She acts like she may be a candidate for POTUS (not as much lately). There are numerous conservative sites promoting her for POTUS. She is constantly in the limelight. She is at the Iowa state Fair during a campaign season. Why Iowa? I don’t think she will run, I think she is in it for the money and ego trip, but I am not sure.

    You have never taken a civics class have you? I have skin in the game. it is called being a citizen of the United States of America. I have an interest in who may be the POTUS, and I will keep commenting on Palin articles. Tough you know what. You actually motivate me to even write more. Palin’s fans are sometimes her worse enemies.

    I know what being an American is truly about.

    So you think California is a “failed” state due to liberal policies? Was it failed when Ronald Reagan was Governor? Was it a failed state during the Deukmejian Administration? Maybe you considered it a failed state under Governor Pete Wilson tutelage? We recalled a Governor (Democratic one at that) and replaced him with Arnold Schwarzenegger. The absolute best time of the California experience was under Governor Pat Brown. He the one who created the UC system that’s still second to none.

    What would’ve help with the state finances had our politicians played a stronger the hand over the decades and demanded that we stop getting short changed by the Federal Government on taxes sent and taxes received, in other words — California has been a donor state subsidizing primarily red states down south. North Dakota is another welfare state that grabs and bigger portion than it sends in.

    I wonder let’s check Gov. Palin’s record? Did she really impose morality on people in Alaska? Why I even think she fought for the right for same sex partners to receive benefits? Amazing how hate filled people are so paranoid and constipated.

    I thought we covered your talking points. How many times must you say them….100? 1,000? 1,000,000?

    Seriously, come up with something new. I get it. You don’t like her. Then don’t comment on her because right now you don’t think that she’s going to be a candidate and you constantly talk about her. It’s odd behavior. This is a media site so of course she’s going to be in the limelight. You don’t think she’s going to be a candidate so you could avoid articles that talk about her and refrain from talking about her.

    If you would like to show where her policy has been enacted and it was a failure, then I’d welcome that debate. However, you’re attacking her personality. I am not attacking Obama’s personality or his family.

    I am glad that you’re involved in politics. However, I don’t consider writing on a blog such as this getting involved. Right now, your talking point should be “I will vote for whoever runs against Obama” because Obama as a leader has been ineffective. Simple as that.

    I think there is a ninety percent chance Palin will not run.
    This means there is a ten percent chance she will run.

    I do not play Russian Roulette. Ten percent is too high of a chance. One percent is. Palin is a very dangerous person as POTUS in my opinion. Especially in these times.
    I will start posting some of Sarah Palin’s Alaskan dirty political laundry if you like. There is much to post.

    “I am not attacking Obama’s personality or his family”
    You may not. Many Conservatives here do. Many. Without guilt. I doubt this upsets you much.

    “However, I don’t consider writing on a blog such as this getting involved.”
    Sorry. It is one form of involvement. There are many forms. I get involved in other ways as well.

    Hey Dave,
     
    I play a little game, whenever I open the Dictionary, which is frequently, I like to be surprised by whatever weird word jumps out?

    The word (phrase) for today, courtesy of The New Oxford American, is, “fag hag!”  LOL

    Wait a minute, the New Oxford is defining descriptions now instead of words?

    a heterosexual woman who spends much of her time with homosexual men.

    THAT is just weird!!!!!

    Let me see what they define for these-

    Tea Partier
    1 a social gathering in the afternoon at which tea, cakes, and other light refreshments are served. 2 (Tea Party)a US political party that emerged from a movement of conservatives protesting the federal government in 2009. Leftist

    a person who supports the political views or policies of the left. Socialista person who advocates or practices socialism.
    Progressive
    1 a person advocating or implementing social reform or new, liberal ideas.
    Liberal ideas
    1 a group of ideas that implement socialist and left leaning ideas

    Dang, it is like circular logic. Oh well, I am glad I am a square that does not fit in the round hole.

You have had to make sacrifices and work harder than you once had, just to maintain yourself. (Truck Driving) You have some formal education, maybe a degree? But you do possess the sensibility that Thomas Paine would have approved of. Lastly, you have passion, not the kind that a “useful idiot” would have, rather, the kind that comes from thinking for oneself, hence are willing to stand and fight, both intellectually and whatever comes next, if need be. My sincere respect.

    Hey Sarah, your 15 minutes are almost up.   Make up your mind already….or at least stop pretending that you haven’t.

    Oh Lord!

    There you are.  My life was empty, meaningless and bereft of the joy that comes from picking on someone!  LOL

    You disappeared briefly?  I noticed, is everything OK in your world, seriously?  Maybe just a vacation, or, you ran off with a toothless bar maid?  Now you are back home, penniless and broken hearted?  LOL

    Why are you blasting obama? How many times will he go on FOX News to answer questions, or be interviewed by any host? The annual o’really thing during a football game?

    If he is so intelligent, and FOX News is so stupid, why the ban? Shouldn’t he be able to run circles around the pitiful reporters over there?

    you are a failed abortion.

    That’s the least garbled I’ve ever heard her. Perhaps she’s learning.

    Of course, what she had to say was mostly piffle, simpleminded, tissue-thin talking points that would stand up to a firm challenge no longer than a snowman in front of a fire hose. But she most certainly didn’t swallow her own tongue, which is what one expects from Palin.

    Never argue with General ZOD WCinWI. It The turd doesn’t even know that “CANNOT” is the correct spelling of the term. Then again, it tries to use even bigger words and phrases it does not understand. It does, however, “put the lotion in the basket”!

    Palin was hot when she was a beauty contestant. Pelosi has always been ugly.

    I was hoping for some Obama gaffes of the sort I was referring to, you know — Palinesque tongue-swallowing.

    Imagine my disappointment in finding that site’s just another agglomeration of unsubstantiated, hate-driven opinion.

    Imagine my lack of surprise.

    Like your posts? What about the 57 states? How about Steffie correcting his “faith”? No hate here, just using his words…

    http://obamalies.net/ And if that isn’t good enough…. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/50lies.asp

    Again, he said the “facts” and others checked those “facts”. Doesn’t make them haters or racists, which liberal idiots like you fall back on when you lose the argument.

    Direct me to a site that has o’bama’s IQ posted. Or his academic “credentials” that make him a genius.

    So when you call Palin names, “Imagine my disappointment in finding that site’s just another agglomeration of unsubstantiated, hate-driven opinion. Imagine my lack of surprise.”

    o’bama-esque of you. Liberal.

    So I looked at your first link. Three stories where the author vociferously disagrees with Obama — no gaffes, no lies — and one where a charlatan tries to use cooked statistics to prove that up equals down and black equals white.

    Per usual wingnut practice.

    Professor Lovell is what we call a “fanatic.” He is also what we call a “liar,” and as disingenuous with a pie chart as any crook I’ve ever seen. Obama said the US has only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, a number he rounded up from 1.8%. Flatly true.

    Lovell knows, and you do too, probably, that “oil” and “fossil fuels” are not synonymous. Coal and shale oil reserves exist and can be extracted. The cost of doing so (specifically for shale oil) would be huge, both in dollar costs and ecological costs, so to call them “economically extractable” would be a bald-face lie.

    How do I know this? One of my company’s divisions does oil shale work. I have been to the sites in Colorado and Canada, and the best minds in my company say that the energy investment in extracting the energy from such formations is close to (and sometimes exceeds) the energy extracted. And such projects are ecological horrorshows, especially in locations where there isn’t very much unspoken-for water lying around (like just about everywhere on the planet).

    And US coal cannot be extracted or used with current technology without very serious ecological consequences.

    Sorry, Lovell, your ham-handed shell game doesn’t work.

    So hugalib, you point me to sites promising “gaffes” and “lies,” and what do I find? Virulent anti-Obama screeds that are simply moot, and flaming nutbags peddling their crackpot fantasies to the simpleminded.

    I realize that’s the demographic that both Lovell and Palin are pitching to, but I’m not required to take them seriously.

    It’s true.  She’s not stealing the spotlight.  She is officially irrelevant.

    How can they get such bad audio with a mic right in her face? Geez, turn off the camera mic channel so we don’t have to decipher what she’s saying through the crowd noise.

    In the media’s eyes, nothing is ever Obama’s fault.

    Simple. If she runs, the primary system will decide who the GOP nominee will be. But, Is she a force to be reckoned with, Yes. Is she easily the most popular Republican figure in 20 years, yes. Could she win the nomination, Yes. Will she run? We’ll see. Face reality.
