Another *great* wow photo. /sarcasm

I’m not a fan of Palin but I will say that certain celebrities do come out with stuff out of their mouths without knowing the facts.  Because they are celebrities doesn’t make them an authority on the subject.  Their are many issues about nature & conservation that would be best researched before you open your mouth.

What WOW does not tell you that she said…

"Her speech, delivered last Friday to the Anchorage Lincoln Day Dinner, was recorded by the Alaska Republican Party and posted online Tuesday.

Reflecting on the campaign, Palin said there were "a variety of reasons" Republicans lost in November, namely the faltering economy, but she seemed to place most of the blame on the press." "Some in the media actually participated in not so much the ‘who-what-where-when-why’ objective reporting on candidates and positions, those five W’s that I learned when I had a journalism degree so many years ago in college, when the world of journalism was quite different than it is today," she said." "No, things have changed," she continued. "But complaining? Or whining? Absolutely not. But I am going to call it like I see it. It doesn’t do any good to whine about any of this. But I can call it like I see it. Sometimes it gets me in a lot of trouble when I speak candidly, and I speak from the heart and I do such a thing. But I am going to." "And there was that media slant this go round," she said. "And unless things change, the GOP had really better can stand together, ‘cause we got that on the battlefield also. I call it like I see it and like I lived it on the campaign trail. Not complaining, but dealing with reality." "Those are the cards that are dealt us," she said, "and we had better learn to play that hand and do things right and do things better." " She mocked the Obama administration’s elimination of the term "enemy combatant" and reminded the crowd that "we’re at war." She lauded former President Bush for his efforts to prevent another terrorist attack after September 11, standing up for the 43rd president even though "the political and media elite ridiculed and mocked him." "It’s no small accomplishment that no terrorist attack has occurred since 9/11," Palin said. Adding her voice to the debate over the future of the GOP, Palin said the Republican Party would be happy to welcome Democrats and independents who might grow frustrated with Democratic overreach, but she rejected the suggestion that the party should become more moderate. Instead, she argued, Republicans need to better communicate their ideas. "Sometimes, the middle of the fence is really the most uncomfortable place to be," she said. "How about we just keep it simple? To grow, we’ve got to be who we are." Skip over this content

For those interested in the ENTIRE speech in context….

I admire Sarah Palin.   She is accomplished, intelligent, determined and down to earth.   As far as Ashley Judd, she is an actor….period.   She wanted/needed media attention and she knew how to get it.   Perhaps her "agent" said "let’s see…animal activist…Sarah Palin…"   And, they went for it.   

What is for certain is that if Sarah Palin runs for President in 2012, she will be so media savvy by then for having gone through and surviving the constant attacks by the left!

S. J. thanks for posting what was left out.   It is always better to read the entire speech to get the full story.
