Best quote I have heard on her: "Matching Palin's intellect and political ambition is like joining a jet engine to a golf cart."

I think one of the great things about Our Sarah is that she is living proof that a person doesn't need any intellect to become a well known politician.

All the same you know I wish we had someone like Palin in the Democratic party. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's sole qualification to replace Howard Dean was that she likes, and she really likes. Obama.And the whole country knows now that what matters most to Obama is that people really like him. I can't even bring myself to discuss what Pelosi has done to our party.

"Palin never did give him an interview."

She also never did her job, and even walked out on it within a year. Not only is she one of the least qualified people to be a leader, she's not qualified to and would probably walk away from buying groceries.

“Ask these people.”

Yeah, ask the blind and mentally handicapped to describe the backside of the lemming in front of them. Palin is without a doubt one of the stupidest people on the planet.

"normous personal charm but merciless vindictiveness."

Maybe she is qualified to be a politician afterall.

Well from what I read above, this looks like a hatchet job. I'm not supportive of nonsense like that. Let sarah fall on her sword by herself. There's no need to push the issue. That's just distasteful, no matter who the target is.

For example, did he even try to show this:

“I think that beneath the charisma, which she undoubtedly has, and her ability to engage with people, which she undoubtedly can do,

Did that come out in the movie or did he conveniently forget that part? I'd like to know that. I'm absolutely no fan of sarah palin, but she deserves better than that. If both sides of her came out in equal proportion to her actual behavior, and it doesn't sound like it did come out in documentary, that's one thing.

But it looks in my opinion, to be, as I said above, a hatchet job. I think that's messed up. That's my opinion on the matter.

And no, this isn't the sign of a liberal media conspiracy. It's one guy who seems to be a real a-hole.

@Smith thats the biggest sticking point for me as well... The woman quit her job as governer because the situation became "too overwhelming" for her and she wants to try to become the leader of this country? We'll she's nothing but a footnote in ALASKAN history, and nothing but late night tv fodder.

"Palin never did give him an interview"

And so he casts Palin as a resentful grudgeholder. Who's the real resentful grudgeholder here?

Why Toronto? I guess Palin fascinates people up there. Very strange.
