At the end of this hatchet job describing the National Enquirer hatchet job which describes the recent Joe McGinness hatchet job on Sarah Palin, is a video clip of Palin in her younger TV sportscaster days. Scroll down to the bottom of the article and click on the video link. Quite a pleasant contrast to her current self, I think.
(Submitted to the Pit to allow for the reactions that will surely follow.)
I don’t see anything particularly pitable about the video, except for the disturbingly large 80’s hair. I don’t see any change in her accent, though. She’s got the same accent now that she did then.
Oh, my God! SA actually provided a link to something! [faints dead away]
Is it just me or does she look cross-eyed in that video?
She says “filled goal” (for “field goal”) and “frannic” (for “frantic.”) I stopped listening after that–my head was starting to explode.
Heck, Sarah may older, she’s still very cute, I never found the accent grating. I only find her penchant for self-promotion w/o substance, her inability to hold her own in an interview (she flubbed Hannity softballs, for God’s sake!), and her bailing out as Governor of Alaska to be grating.
But she does rock a pair of Daisy Dukes… sigh
So do you get medical coverage for explodable head? Or do you have to be like allergy sufferers and constantly be on the lookout for anything that could cause your head to explode?

Stay away from her baby videos then. You’d probably want to pinch your own head off because of how inexcusably unintelligible she was back then, the little bitch.
I can’t believe she’s working for the lamestream media, asking gotcha questions of these sports figures and reading directly from a teleprompter.
If she only knew then what she still doesn’t know now…
Hmmm… wonder why she led with the Michigan basketball team?
Is it me, or do the the Iditarod dogs shown behind her not only look like they are getting busy, but that the one in back is staring at Sarah’s head with a guilty Rut-Roooh! expression on his face?
“…not even for a Scooby Snack?”
“Rooooooh Ray, Rhaggy…”
She has a grating accent in that clip.
And she isn’t that cute.
Yeah, the accent is there, and about as annoying as it is now.
Video of her in her sportscaster days has been around for quite awhile, and yes, she was cross-eyed, but has learned to lessen the effect. She was personable back then, and still can be when she tries, but she’s been corrupted by her own power lust and quest for that pot of gold. In her first stint in office (as mayor of Wasilla), she discovered that power is a drug, and treated her employees poorly (yes, I know people who worked for her). She soon tired of just having those small-town lackeys to badger, and the governorship was a natural goal for her to pursue. The rest has been beaten to death, of course, but I can never forgive her for abandoning her constituency in the middle of her first term. Whatever virtues she may have had, and whatever competent things she may have done for the state were negated completely in that one self-serving, nakedly greedy act.
No. Obamacare has rationed medical treatment in this country and now our senior citizens suffer under the constant threat of death panels with remote detonators. When they press the button and your grandmother’s head explodes, you can blame our liberal president while you’re cleaning the old people brains off the walls of your breakfast room.
She was pretty good at that, should have stuck with it.
Actually, while she still did have an accent, I found it far less grating and more genuine than anything I’ve heard from her since 2006. Why the heck didn’t she stay in broadcasting where she could clearly find some success?
Babies.
