Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton vouches for the authenticity of the (Facebook) posting in which Palin casts herself as someone who has been misunderstood:“How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country. And though it’s honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make.”
How sad that we misunderstand? What is she talking about?
How about this: How sad that you fail to understand, Sarah Palin.
The citizens of the U.S., most of them at least, are not as dumb as you think. You seem to be under the false impression that if you rattle off enough key words we won’t notice that you’re just jibber jabbering. Sorry to break it to you, governor: We notice.
Listen, Sarah. Go hole up in the Wasilla library. Spend some time reading history, geography and civics books.
When you’re done there, head right over to the town shrink. You’ve got issues. Deal with them in the privacy of a psychiatrist’s office, not on camera. You’re not misunderstood. Your doctor, and perhaps a few meds, will help you realize that.
In fact, we see right through you. You’re a power hungry bitch who isn’t getting her way, so you’re pasting on a fake smile right before dashing off to fulfill your “higher calling.”
We get it. Now, run away damaged star. Lick your wounds and get your head straight. And, for goodness sake, stay the hell away from the media (and off of Facebook and Twitter). We’ll stop covering you as soon as you stop making an ass out of yourself.
Sarah’s greatest (misunderstood) hits:

Frank:
Why do people on the right describe any disapproval of your candidate as “suffering from some derrangement syndrome” or as “irrational hate”? Are you trying to insinuate that anyone who disagrees with you must be mentally ill?
If you can’t see why so many people think Governor Palin is unqualified then you will not be convinced by anything her opponents say. The reasons are painfully obvious to anyone who is actually paying attention.
When a parent stands on a stage constantly promoting abstinance only education and shouting about Christian values it is not a petty attack to point out that her pregnant unmarried daughter is standing on the stage beside her.
A candidate who repeatedly calles her opponent a terrorist has no moral high ground from which to whine about people picking on her.
Since when did “Creative Loafing” become part of the mainstream media? It’s an alternative weekly. They offer “shelter from the mainstream.”
Whereyabeen, buddy?
Frank,
Do you know the author? Have you ever corresponded with her? Bet you haven’t.
How can you suggest that you have any idea if she would “normally blindly support a woman.”
You’re off base, Frank. As usual, making up stuff as you go along.
And, as far as Palin not resigning amid scandal. Her resignation IS a scandal.
“Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell of Alaska said Sunday that Gov. Sarah Palin’s decision to resign was largely prompted by the personal legal costs of the ethics investigations against her.”

Frank,
Commenting on an article is not a game, so no one can lose.
As far as knowing what the author’s thoughts are and who she would support in an election — especially since you admit you haven’t met or corresponded with her AT ALL — that’s just proof that you’re delusional.
In response to this, “I just speak the truth. If my facts or opinions are too much for you to handle you can always go back to watching cartoons.”
Your opinions and baseless comments do not equate to facts. As you so frequently suggest, I highly recommend you purchase and utilize a good dictionary.
Seriously, dude. Seek help.
This is a good article, thank you for sharing, I like it very much.
