Aug 10, 2010 at 3:02 pmEducating Sarah: Palin Confronts Teacher Who Labeled Her ‘Worst Gov.’
Welcome to “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” This unintended outtake from the quitter, half-term governor’s new reality show is evidence that not all her neighbors are enamored with Caribou Barbie.
A teacher in Homer. Alaska greeted Palin and her entourage with a huge “Worst Governor Ever” banner. Palin, ever the glad-hander, engaged the critic in a conversation. Why was she so disappointed?
“You swore on your precious bible that you would uphold the interests of this state. And then when cash was waved in front of your face you quit.”
“Oh, you wanted me to be your Governor. I’m honored.”
Palin figured she could win another convert with her folksy charm, tellin’ the woman how she’s fightin’ for the whole country now, tryin’ to get other fright wingers elected. Did she conveniently leave out the part about rakin’ in all that money givin’ speeches and “refudiatin’” all those silly Shakespearean types? You betcha!
But then Sarahcuda let her snark slip through the homespun charm. She shared a snide little exchange with her daughter Bristol–the unwed, teenage mom turned big bucks abstinence spokesperson –when the woman revealed she was a teacher.
That little moment’s sure to score points with educators who may actually have a handle on the English language.
I understand the woman saying, “You belong to America now. And that suits me just fine.”
Trouble is: I don’t think America shares the sentiment. Thanks again, John McCain.

It’s a shame the woman in question was not really ready with an argument or a statement. I would love to happen on Sarah Palin. I could probably mentally crush her in about 11 seconds. I don’t intend violence for the woman, but her little namby-pamby “oh golly” goofiness doesn’t stand up to anyone who can actually talk the issues and have something smart to say. The teacher here just wasn’t ready to rock.
She wasn’t a teacher. She was lying about it.
Cite references, please.
The teacher was ready to talk about issues of duty and oath.
Sarah Palin is a DING BAT. .
I believe the Palin daughter is Willow not Bristol. You know, the one accused of B&E and vandalism.
Could someone please pass a constitutional admendment to have her put a g on the end of “fightin”?
It is just killin me!
Oh she wishes she had a brain.

We cover the same subject but your aproach is intersting….
You should probably update this to point out that the lady wasn’t a teacher…so she was lying about that.
And Sara Palin is nothing but a paid speaker, like the SHam WOw guy. Your point is?
