On today’s Laura Ingraham Show, Governor Palin does not mince words about McCain, Obama, and makes an interesting comment about her travel plans for the upcoming year.
@1:21 – On McCain’s comments on the TODAY Show that he is looking to compromise with the administration on comprehensive immigration reform: “I don’t think the priority of the Republican Party should be capitulating or compromising when it comes to our principles and those time tested truths that help build our country.” […]
@2:49 – Palin: “Don’t be talking about capitulation and compromise at this point.”
Laura: “That’s your former running mate. That’s the guy who picked you on the ticket talking about comprehensive immigration reform.”
Palin: “I’m giving him [McCain] the benefit of the doubt that he’s got some ideas that ultimately will result in no amnesty and securing our borders. Maybe that’s what he’s got in mind on this. Again, we’ve got to draw some lines in the sand.”
@3:38 – Palin: “We’ve got to be able to respect our politicians and trust what it is they are doing. Now, I don’t personally trust what comes out of the White House….[Obama] is hell bent on weakening America and he has told us back in March of 2006 that it weakens America domestically and internationally to raise the debt ceiling. And he said it is a sign of failed leadership to support raising the debt ceiling. And now he is doing exactly that. So, what Obama is doing–purposefully weakening America, because he understood that debt weakens America domestically and internationally–and yet now he supports increasing debt.”
Laura: “So his goal is to weaken America?”
Palin: “On this issue it has to be, otherwise, what did he mean back in March of 2006 when he said that he understood that increasing debt weakens America?”
@4:50 – On running for president: Laura: “Are you making a trip to New Hampshire any time soon? Because Romney is up there and he’s doing pretty well in the polls.”
Palin: “We’re scheduling our year’s calendar here in the next couple of days and we’ll see when we get there…Hopefully those voters along with a whole lot of others around America are just hoping for no more status quo.”
How exciting! : )

One of these days I think she’s going to come to a point where she feels her obligation to be deferential to McCain has been met, and she’s going draw the line in a serious way on where they differ. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but I don’t think he’ll take it well, and he’ll find one reason or another to campaign against her if she decides to make a run at the White House.
I don’t know if you listened to the full interview, bluegrass, but this interview pretty much hit that point. In the context of McCain’s comments, she blasts the Republican old-guard establishment mercilessly. She pretty much threw McCain under the bus. Just as he has thrown her under the bus for the past two years, letting his wife and daughter go out trashing her at every turn, and pretending not to notice.
Thanks, no I didn’t, I have trouble stomaching TV news shows for some reason. I’ll take a look.
Now I see it was a radio show. Boy I’m smart tonight. At least my avatar of Bill Monroe’s mandolin works. Whoopee!
Bluegrassriver, you too! Very nice choice for avatar.

The full interview is excellent. Thank you for posting, flaggman. She has an interesting take on the Navy video situation. I agree with her assessment.
Chuck I love your avatar!
Thanks Tammy. An homage to my favorite board game: Monopoly. Change is good once in a while, :-).
Monopoly is my favorite too! Just saw a vintage version I really wanted, but one of those purchases now that has to take a back seat 🙁
Tammy, is the Palin report going to be posted soon?
