" Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is the subject of yet another vicious attack from the mainstream media this time it is Vanity Fair magazine on the offensive."

" In a lengthy article the author Todd hurt them we're counts -- rise to fame during the 2008 presidential campaign. "

" All the while offering his own skating and on occasion -- sexist opinion of the governor now he says quote."

" one's life."

" Has sometimes played out like an unholy amalgam of Desperate Housewives and northern exposure and."

" Palin's deep ignorance about most aspects of foreign and domestic policy provided her with a powerful political reason. Not to submit to interviews -- on to say. Palin herself often sounds tired and resentful these days and that she has quote disappointed many of those who had once had the highest hopes for her. She has stumbled all were innumerable details and here with reaction is Fox News legal analyst an -- Kimberly Guilfoyle and conservative columnist SE cup. Yeah I read this thing it went away came from -- sell off."

" It's -- it's candidate they -- monster or something like yeah it look at these quotes and particularly here. You know what what what they."

" First of all talks a lot about her sex appeal. We -- talk about a male politician you're laughing."

" It's frankly a little I'm embarrassed for -- part of a little bit he calls -- sexy -- inordinate amount of times. And actually goes on to call her. The best looking woman ever to rise to such political if I -- all across an -- crash it's like playground tactics for the -- pulls your pig -- because made you don't like given that -- why did an interview with Vanity -- do you blame -- a look at. -- I mean this is brutal you know it's it's brutal but it also goes on the system -- the vicious things about her and talks about you know for example. What does a prominent say about the importance of having a record of achievement in public life and I'm thinkin'. I want achievement to the anointed one -- community organize the community organize are actually was a state senator who accomplished little and the most liberal senator for just a couple years. Partly -- imagine it's full of contradictions because -- isn't really out here to solve Sarah Palin he's not out here to really flesh her out and and credit exposed you know the interesting side of Sarah Palin. -- Politico it doesn't make an assembly seasonably hot bat -- every MI NY. Why is there this may sound like Dennis well why is there this double standard that we could talk about the looks a women. In the political arena but you never hear that about men -- by a -- I don't see -- never seen anything like this is -- they did this with."

" Therapy on from day one if you disagree with her politics that's one thing that -- deep -- are constantly. And make sexist remarks about her her -- basically saying that she's only there because of her looks and -- beauty -- Is really insulting and degrading to women she is the governor of Alaska and it seems that there's just no credit being given for that whatsoever okay."

" At the top of this thing that you know despite her disastrous performance we'll watch aren't. Brussels she killed Joe Biden in that debate yeah she gave a great speech at the RNC I would argue okay maybe that the interview with Katie -- did not go well. But with that said she she knew that she had a bullseye on her back she probably don't want to answer any questions knowing that they would be used against her."

" Frida it was so not disaster risk that people like Vanity Fair are starting to sound paranoid I mean my left is attacking her now with almost paranoid -- because I think they're they're they're legitimately more about -- do you think they view her as a threat -- yes that's an obvious there's no need to -- eleven pages are really not a story I'm -- I would like to read one quote that I thought this particular interest and -- every job she's surrounded herself with an insular coterie. A trusted friends took disagreements personally. Discarded people who were no longer useful and swiftly dealt vengeance on enemies and I'm sorry there are no no -- usually that's a politician. -- politics. She remembers. That we well she. You realize that -- it's about 2012 and beyond because they don't want her anywhere near the why and how are you thinking about it today trying to cut her out you -- right. Now they want to come cut the legs and Melinda -- it right away -- yeah I mean had George."

" Bush -- said we had 57 states had George Bush you know -- not knowing the difference between Memorial Day and veterans day I see many of you out there in the audience now on Memorial Day. -- and it'll later heart problem lies or if perhaps since it well. We can go through one after another."

" And he gets a pass the other thing was he didn't get any tough questions and that in the -- In that campaign."

" And more specifically about some really bizarre relationship said he had."

" Right well there -- a lot of inconsistency -- I mean he tries to make one point. About Todd Palin filling in -- at various social events it any different -- From the list of right elected officials were actually asked their -- to filling in for them and take -- so it's. If they if they have to leave their office for some reason it's very don't. Commonplace they get anything that has to the Sarah Palin is pointed out is like and then non anomaly that she's not prepared that -- to serve --"

" Nobody is even -- the I didn't little announcement into this program tonight which."

" Prominent female democratic promise politician. That I think looks like -- slowly flight attendant. --"

" I have been announced by the end of the program which finally -- Building -- problem."

" An email politician has a bloody -- it took a look really into yeah -- says that -- he -- that. Actually forget that -- you know that that flight from Letterman are they -- It was borderline porn on the so let's just you know excuse that all together again this is very this article --"

" Ounces at the end of the program and it's a prominent prominent -- I tried you'll have it."

" On holiday and we'll get Letterman never apologize for that the only apologized for the comment about the door look frankly the worst ever --"

" I'll say that this is a -- call even joke about. Yeah what happens what happened tonight an --"

" Did not have to ask you pick up down radio not TV yeah appropriately -- appropriate use it it's inappropriate Letterman I."

" IC I agree with you but the point is is that nobody seemed to get offended -- that is a double standard."

" OY to explain it it's it's -- I can't overlook the -- the perfect example they can't go after her and say are right she slept her way to the top because there's no evidence of that soon after me -- to be an idiot who."

" Or of the attacker children -- brat."

" Or -- a redneck what John and yeah she's very hard all that that's part of this sex appeal to me why this is where hey let's all hang with the -- you know -- fertile female did you hear that can't. The big dog yeah at eighty -- why she -- By far the best looking woman ever -- is such heights of national Paul Allen is going to look at this -- Todd part you know then that. You know the Barca real journalism he he doesn't -- quote real people -- he -- McCain friends people familiar with the situation at one point even close quote. People in Alaska. Well I haven't Alaska I've talked -- people in Alaska and her that's silly idea that yes about --"

" Just -- last question maintenance exit question. Now will this prevent other women."

" From ever want to get a little political arena I hope not I know she gets strength from this and feel -- and I think that we're in Iraq I actually think he's having a great time."

" I'm I'm I'm I'm. I don't I'm enjoying -- she's strong a very strong woman and I think she's she's with -- so much. It's hard I think I feel sorry I think to attack her children to attack her and attack and -- to attack and I think it's. Give the anointed one people didn't -- the messiah a pass all the time frame now by the way for the record."

" I will not make that announcement CNET and Angel not not because I don't want to get your gentleman and scholar that's thank you would never -- that I can't I just not in needed to not. Hanging -- but I jokes aren't -- but I'm not gonna -- actually."

talk about your experience you don't have to talk Dan and certainly Joe Biden had such a -- that experience that he would never. Have to talk -- he just talks about who what he would -- addition to that. George Bush had never debated a woman. And and where -- you know Joe Biden has for one thing having needs in the Senate with thirteen. -- female senators but in addition to that. He spent you know fourteen debates debating Hillary Clinton says there is no way in an -- union said he would. He would talk down to them so that's not an issue that I'm concerned about with with the Senator Biden because. He's got -- since he should just focus on the differences between.

Look past is prologue grant. The issue is how different is John McCain's policy going to be that George Bush's . I haven't heard anything yet I'm Fred Barnes and I port contract where The Beltway Boys and a hot story number one tonight more is -- power. Now what you know I've seen every presidential debate vice presidential debate since 1976. As you have. It makes me -- tired to think about it but but in any case I think that Sarah Taylor's performance. -- get in the debate with Joe Biden he's. It was one of the three or four best I've ever seen but for one particular reason. And the reason issue
think she proved to be every bit a match on substance. To Joe Biden she doesn't we stayed with him on that. And they fewer errors. That he did up but the other thing was she
interviews where she did seem to billionaire head and and and and John McCain was suffering from it because -- victory after all so now that it now the whole scene goes back to work belongs to Barack Obama versus John McCain . And here's Joe Biden talking about that much.
If she'd made the mistakes that. Joe Biden get a fraction album in that debate should we be here tonight today saying and maybe she should drop off the ticket
