In the Belly of the Beast
On Sunday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin appeared in studio with Chris Wallace to discuss her speech, and also the primary race in the Republican party. Wallace asked her to identify the establishment, and she did, but I found it delightful when she described being there in Washington DC as being “in the belly of the beast.” While I am certain the Govenor probably wasn’t including FoxNews in her characterization of Washington DC, given the direction of Fox News lately, I really couldn’t agree more, even if she had. As usual, she was not going to be pigeon-holed by media, and she turned each question back around on Wallace, who was clearly digging for the answers he wanted, rather than the ones she might give.
Here’s the interview, courtesy of FoxNews:

An excellent interview, in my estimation. There’s a reason that she remains the grass-roots choice. Wallace two minutes of the interview by trying to ambush her with HBO’s movie, but he finished by talking about her article about Trig.
I think that I've seen all of Wallace's interviews with Sarah, going back to 2008. He really is quite taken by her – I think it's the straight talk and spunk that he doesn't get from almost any of his other interviewees, especially the Progressives. She sure has come a long way, baby, from the Katie Couric ambush/hatchet editing job of 3 years ago.
I guess I need to read your rules, Mark. (I still haven't :)
I've posted two videos and a link to one article which has not shown. I suspect you vet them first (who can blame you) so maybe I'll see them in a bit.
Sue, actually, neither showed up in your posts Sue. I will be glad to help, if you'd like. I can send you an email on how to do so. What I don't permit is the actual videos in the comments, because they throw off the formatting of the blog page terribly due to the narrow comment section. Instead, I ask you place them as a link, although in this case, nothing cam across. Thanks! Expect mail if your listed email is accurate.
