Palin refuses to whine, then lashes out at liberal media, again
Palin unplugged in speech to Alaska GOP dinner
(CNN.com, March 26, 2009)

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 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."

Sarah's version of "dealing with reality" appears to be to whine about it, while incoherently saying that she refuses to whine about it.

:crazy:

3. Can we start a list of Sarah's complaints
I don't know how we show the difference between a complaint and a whine. I think whines should be accounted for separately.

Sounds like she is complaining about the press this time.

8. Oh, she's dredging up the journalism degree now.
Great. Which one of the six colleges you attended was most influential in developing your philosophy of journalism, Sarah?

10. She has nothing of substance to say. She never did.
All she can do is whine. And that's all we've ever heard from her.
