Sarah Palin spoke to members of the press from her husband’s fishing boat in Alaska. Thankfully, the story broke today so there’s a little break from all of the Michael Jackson coverage. Here’s Dan Springer of Fox News (notice he calls her bitter) with a snippet from the interview.
ABC News couldn’t help but highlight what was probably just a slip of the tongue by the governor.
As to whether another pursuit for national office, as when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House less than a year ago, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there was a difference between the White House and what she had experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the “department of law” would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.
“I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” she said.
There is no “Department of Law” at the White House.
Of course they couldn’t let that one go. Despite Dan Springer calling her “bitter” the report by Fox News was a little more fair.
Palin said she has started a legal defense fund to raise money for legal fees.
She said Obama is taking the country in the wrong direction, and while she wouldn’t reveal her future plans, indicated she has fight left in her.
“Average, hard-working Americans need to be able to get out there, unrestrained, and fight for what is right,” she said. “Fight for energy independence and national security, fight for a smaller government instead of this big government overgrowth that Obama is ushering in.”
Palin also offered criticism of the Washington, D.C., political establishment, and even the Republican Party, which nominated her to be vice president last year.
“Obsessive partisanship” has hurt the party, she said, striking a more independent beat than the partisan tune she sang on the campaign trail.
“We have so many people who offer advice, but I’m going to continue to be, whether some of them like it or not, pretty darn independent, and not get wrapped up into a strong political machine that hasn’t been extremely successful in some ways.”
Palin also decried the state of the American media and said news coverage of her children was unfair.
“Most candidates, most public officials get to look into a camera and say, ‘you better leave your hands off my kids,’” she said. “Well I haven’t been able to say that. And that double standard that’s been applied, that’s been a little bit frustrating.”
Asked if she wanted to be president, she repeated she did not know what her future holds.
It’s plain and simple:
Sarah represents a demographic lefties hate.
These are the peeps in “fly over country.”
They know that shoud this sleeping giant get energized the progressives and their minions are toast.
In other words: They are scared.

The critics may dog Palin for not having a pedigree. Well, I could care less if she knows which fork to use (and I’m sure she does) as long as she sticks it to the idiots in D.C.

It’s called a “slip of the tongue” if you misname something.
She referred to a agency in the context of what it does. There is no such department in BOTH name and function.
If I refer to the government department that delivers corn to farmers to to plant as the “Corn Brigade” is my big error that I got the name wrong or that I don’t know how the government functions?
