Sarah Palin on 2016: 'Of Course' She's Interested

Last edited Fri Jan 23, 2015, 09:00 PM - Edit history (1)

Source: ABC News

Just before she heads to Iowa for the first major conservative showcase of the 2016 election cycle, Sarah Palin said “of course” she’s interested in the 2016 presidential election.

“Yeah, I mean, of course, when you have a servant’s heart, when you know that there is opportunity to do all you can to put yourself forward in the name of offering service, anybody would be interested,” Palin told ABC News' Neal Karlinsky while serving wild boar chili to the homeless in Las Vegas Thursday.

When asked again if she could be “possibly” interested in a presidential campaign, she answered, “We definitely had enough of seeing that -- America has had enough of seeing that -- sign on the Oval Office door saying, 'No Girls Allowed.' I know that.”

While serving up bowls to those gathered in line, the former Alaska governor clarified, “It doesn’t necessarily have to be me, though, but no, America is definitely ready for real change.

“It doesn't have to be myself, but yes ... happy to drive that competition, because competition will make everyone better and produce more and be more candid regarding their solutions they will offer this country. I am very interested in that competitive process and, again, not necessarily me.”

She is a phony grifter.

But as she bounced around between colleges, she hit one of them twice, so it was five different stints.

That's from memory. I don't care enough about Sarah Palin to go look it up. I just wish my OCD hadn't made me write this much.

So it was six stints at five colleges rather than, as I'd thought, five stints at four colleges.

I appreciate knowing this. We elitist intellectuals like to get our facts straight.

Bottom line is she never finished anything in her life.

and I am almost 100% certain that she's been waiting excitedly for perhaps WEEKS to use that phrase while on camera. The woman speaks the English of the undereducated and there's no way those words just sprang to her lips at the right moment, heh.

Nope, it's pretty clear to me what service she is offering. The one that pads her bank account and ego.

I think there is another name for that kind of "service."

She doesn't deserve any of it. Any attention we give her just keeps her relevant in the public consciousness. Just ignore her and let her wither away into obscurity where she belongs.

"Look at me" Palin is running low on $$$$....there is no way she can run for anything without being exposed. Never happen. However she can use the stripper pole to grift just like the rest of the RWNJ.

are Jeb, because he's not that anti-immigrant, so he won't even get the nomination, and Walker, who may ride the anti-union, anti-middle class feelings of the Republican middle class.
