With friends like Ann Kilkenny, who needs enemies? Kilkenny, a Wasillia homemaker who has known Sarah Palin for sixteen years, has penned a lengthy email that brutally savages her. "I’m not angry or jealous,” Kilkenny claims.Yeah, and I'm skinny.
Part of this email explains Palin's high school nickname, given long before Kilkenny ever knew her. "They call her 'Sarah Barracuda' because of her unbridled ambition and predatory ruthlessness. Before she became so powerful, very ugly stories circulated around town about shenanigans she pulled to be made point guard on the high school basketball team."
Really?
Here's another possibility. She just happened to be captain on the team that won the small school championship, making a critical free throw in the waning seconds despite a stress fracture to an ankle.
A more objective and succinct Palin primer, good points and bad, is posted at The Detroit Free Press.

I believe Kilkinney, others have substantiated it, and you are still fat.
I believe Kilkinney has an axe to grind.
I also believe that people like Anon 11:56 are so frightened that their Messiah is about to have his ass handed to him by a an average everyday American, they'll grasp at any vicious attack on Governor Palin.
I can't wait for Keith Olbermann to devote an entire show to Kilkinney and her e-mail.
The e-mail had a point about Palin's tax-and-spend and deficit spending practices. Palin's celebrated $1,200 energy rebate is in line with Bush's $600 income tax rebate, given Alaska's high cost of living. Bread crumbs to the middle class while the government begins to bail out the mortgage companies and their speculators to the tune of billions.
"I also believe that people like Anon 11:56 are so frightened that their Messiah is about to have his ass handed to him by a an average everyday American, they'll grasp at any vicious attack on Governor Palin."
Yes "everyday American" as long as every average American woman works as a Sports Caster on TV, then purses a career in politics. Oh and how many "everyday" woman supports forcing women to give birth to babies that were conceived from RAPE????
Thats just fringe lunatic policy, ............ and Sarah Palin supports that as well!
Reading off a telepromter and hiding from the press does not make anyone "average" makes them slippery!
"Tricky Dick meet slippery Sarah" .
And if anyone is offened by that..... bite me! I'm offended they think I'm braindead enough to think shes a average person.
do average Americans use Down Syndrome babies as a photo prop like the Palins and Cindy McCain did at the convention handing her off to every one for a nice photo?
I'd call that expolitive parenting and NOT EVERYDAY!
And shouldn't Martha Stewart sue anon 2:28 AM for stealing her copyright name for Palin?
And by the way I've scoured the "internets" on Palin. And using non-partisian web sites that list bare facts on politicians.
That e-mail is LOADED with statements based on real facts.
Its not a hatchet job, its a reality check.
Palin has the vengefull spirit missing in DC since Nixon bid farewell before getting on the helicopter.
One of the very few claims I have yet to see details and facts on is "palin hid the last pregnancy from her parents and officials for seven months."
Wonder why there was so much fuel for those other rumors later.
Spike, you're way too angry - take a step back and realize that what you're describing is all of Washington - Republicans and Democrats alike. For every story on one, there's a story on another.
That's the most depressing thing going here.
The Banker
who is keith olberman? should we know this person?
Spike,
You need to setlle down. Your comments are full of vicius snipes at this lady and that only demeans you. If your point is that he is far more conservative than most of us. you're probably right. But if you're suggesting she lacks appeal to middle America, you're definitely wrong.
Appeal to the "middle class"?
What?
Is everyone in the "middle class" so blind that they can't see that the Palin/McCain ticket just made a hard right turn at Bush/Cheney?
I didn't think there was that much room on the right edge of the wing nut cookie but evidently there is.
Still, anybody in the "middle class" who thinks Palin/McCain will make things better is, in my opinion, either seriously delusional or... they didn't want to vote for the black guy anyway and this gives them adequate cover. USA! USA!
It is all so lame.
Bush/Cheney? Bush & Cheney aren't on the ticket.
Is that all Obama and his supporters have? If so, McCain/Palin will crush them come November.
If you want to talk about lame, all I see is name-calling from a candidate who was supposed to be different.
Obama's problem is that it is two months from Election Day and voters still don't know who HE is. Perhaps that is by design.
Not all change is good, and I think the voters are realizing it.

You might want to give some thought to your comment pertaining to the Governor's support of life. While things like rape and incest are indeed horrible crimes what do you do or accomplish by killing the most innocent, the child. I had a sister and a brother who died at age six and nine respectively. It was the most horrible experience I have had in my 63 years. It was a nasty blood disease that could be passed on and no know tests at that time. Yet as I grew older I remember my sister singing on her swing and the great fun I had with my brother. From him and others I learned how to have courage when my time comes. I have two granddaughters and I pray that nothing happens to them. If one or the other were raped, I would have my say about saving the child but then it would be up to them. Even under these circumstances scars will exist on the lady who has had the abortion.
We do not treat children well in this nation. Since 1973 we have killed 40+ million. This is almost 4 times the amount of innocents killed by Hitler in the holocaust. We need to stop this insane act.
fight the good fight, chris. many of us believe abortion is murder. it's a tough position to maintain in a culture that seems so fascinated with death.
In respect to the last comments, I guess that a Woman should not be permitted to choose to save her own life in the event that the pregnancy presented a danger to her own life.
I suppose you think that those kinds of decisions are to be left to the Government.
So much for getting the government out of your life.
The comments here remind why Democrats have a knack for blowing elections they should win.
As long as Democrats and their supporters keep attacking Sarah Palin (as a high school student no less), and think that George Bush and Dick Cheney are running, all they will accomplish is that they will get angrier and angrier, and will end up looking around once again with stunned stupid looks on their faces trying to figure out what happened.
I haven't heard Obama say ONE thing about Palin!!! Maybe if you would have listened to Obama speak at the DNC OR go on BarackObama.com you would know who he is and what he wants to do AND he don't hide from the media and read off a telepromter!!! He don't tip toe around questions, he ANSWERS everything that is asked. SO if you ALL have been living large for the last 8 years, vote for the next George Bush!!!
Keep it up Spike, good for you! You are pointing out the obvious. Since this blog has been hijacked by the right-wingnuts, you would think Palin had no record but she does.
O'Hare is a closet sexist and likes looking at her the same way he looks at Stoffa. All puff. But her record will come out and we will see if the public finds her right of GW positions appealing.
Republican rule has resulted, as it always does, in a horrible economy and scary foreign situation. Of course that is for the dwindling middle class, the well off are doing just fine. Also the bobble heads who live on the empty rhetoric of the right.
Brinson and Walsh have now a match in Angle/O'Hare.
Mr. Miller,
With all due respect, and sincere condolences for the loss of your siblings, to compare early termination of a pregnancy to the death of a juvenile doesn't make any sense. I am staunchly pro-choice, though I would never choose abortion for myself. I would maybe, *maybe* be open to greater restrictions on abortions IF the abstinence-only education didn't go hand in hand with the pro-life rhetoric. You talk about dying children, what about UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE for CHILDREN? Didn't Bush nix a bill that would have covered thousands of uninsured children?!? Let's start taking care of the children we have, let's start looking at healthcare and education (sex ed and otherwise) and KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR WOMBS!!!!!
Bill
If you read my post you saw what I said pertaining to my granddaughters. I would have my say and then let the individual decide. We toss babies away like old rags.
Anonymous 9:21 To his credit Barack said that the rabid press should leave her family alone but as we all know there are surrogates on both sides.
Anonymous 10:10. Define what you mean by Universal Health Care. I believe we do a great job on taking care of kids. Let's look at the parents who are to damn lazy to take their child in for free flu shots. Let's start being honest with the health care numbers. How many of the supposed 46 million people without health care are illegal aliens? How many are young kids out of college with a good job and good health and opt not to buy health care? Do we see those numbers anywhere? How come my dad was able to provide health care, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, for his family through the 1950s a and 1960s? Simple. Our health was more important then a monstrous home or a shiny new car. Health care was an individual responsibility not an individual right guaranteed by some waiting to be found clause in the Constitution like "privacy" was to insure the holocaust of abortion. If we don't stand up soon for the unborn I feel this nation will suffer severe retribution. That said we as a community, and we don't need an organizer, should step forward whenever one of our neighbors needs help including help with health care.
Anon 9:37,
I welcome people here from both the right and the left because I think neither side is completely right or completely wrong and we need to listen to each other. But inflammatory and divisive comments from people like you are juvenile. Go play in a sandbox.
Chris --
My point was that Palin is against abortion in any circumstance, which means that if ut were up to her this would be a big Government decision, and a woman would not be permitted to choose to save her own life in the circumstance I presented.
We don't value the born in this country let alone the unborn. Look no farther than our infant mortality rates, which in many cities are on par with third world countries.
Health care costs have been rising faster than any other area, and are the leading cost of bankruptcy in America. This is not about shiny new cars.
It would seem to me that there should be plenty of ground for common cause with many of these entrenched issues, yet as a society we play out the same issues with the same tired arguments.
Bill
I agree with you on a number of your statements. I will say that since the Supreme Court more or less has made the decision on abortion I don't think Palin will make it a Federal Government issue-I presume you mean that when you refer to big Government. We, of course, both know that she would need the consent of Congress to make any drastic change. This matter should have been put to the people on a state by state basis.
You are correct when you say that we do not take care of the kids that are alive. We pack them up and send them to day care weeks from leaving the hospital. We are now talking about sending them to school at age 4. We have some information on kids who have gone this route. Some have invaded schools and killed fellow students. Some will tell you that they felt they were abandoned. Parents have not bonded with their kids and many remain kids themselves. Divorce rates are going to be high for these kids. Mark my words when I tell you that major studies will be done on this lack of care of our children.
I also agree with you on the fact that there should be common ground on a lot of issues. Why do we have high mortality rates in the inner cities? There are clinics there. Are they any good? Do the people take their kids there? On health care, why are the prices so high? Is it because we have hospitals full of all sorts of equipment and is that really necessary? Is it because we are a sue happy society and we are driving doctors out of the market? Is it becasue we are treating a pile of illegal immigrants? Is it because we want the government to pay for this? Do we need a Cadillac health care plan or can we live with a Chevy?
I am certain of one thing, we have to stop making these emotional issues and start using our brains to get to the truth of the matter. I absolutely hate large, costly government programs for one very simply reason, it's too easy to spend other peoples' money and that's what the government does. We are, according to some experts, heading toward a time when medicare and social security will eat up the entire budget. Something to think about.
