As I recall, Palin was in support of the Wall Street bailout, albeit tentatively.  What was it she said to Katie Couric?

Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy- Oh, it's got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions.

And from the conservative National Review:

"Certainly AIG though with the construction bonds that they're holding and with the insurance that they are holding very, very impactful to Americans so you know the shot that has been called by the Feds its understandable but very, very disappointing that taxpayers are called upon for another one." -- Sarah Palin, Sept. 17, 2008

So let me figure this one out.  $700 billion to help some asshats on Wall Street who helped spur on the credit crisis is okay....but GOD FORBID we give $17 billion to the Detroit automakers!

Andrew Tanenbaum over at Electoral-Vote is really on point (as always) about why Southern Republicans opposed the auto bailout in the first place.  Sarah Palin merely joins their ranks.

It is increasingly clear that what southern Republicans really want is to break the back of the UAW (which habitually supports the Democratic Party). Thus while demanding lower wages and benefits as part of the $17 billion loan to the auto industry (where labor costs are 10% of total expenditures) is crucial to them, they didn't make a peep about lowering salaries as part of the $700 billion bailout of the banking industry (where labor costs are 70% of the total). In other words, the $1.7 billion worth of labor costs in the (unionized) auto industry are a big deal but the $490 billion worth of labor costs in the (nonunionized) financial industry is a nonissue.

Of course, why then does Palin oppose the auto bailout when Alaska is one of the most heavily unionized states?

But the fun doesn't stop there!  Here's more from the delusional hockey mom.

On the McCain campaign's biggest mistake:

The biggest mistake made [during the campaign] was that I could have called more shots on this: the opportunities that were not seized to speak to more Americans via media. I was not allowed to do very many interviews, and the interviews that I did were not necessarily those I would have chosen. But I was so thankful to have the opportunity to run with John McCain that I was not going to argue with the strategy decisions that some of his people were making regarding the media contacts?

But if I would have been in charge, I would have wanted to speak to more reporters because that's how you get your message out to the electorate.

So says Sarah Palin, still the governor of Alaska and still believing that if she had given more interviews in the 60 days after she was chosen as a running mate, that the GOP would have won.

Last time I checked, none of those "interviews via media" -- even the one with Republican boot-licker Sean Hannity -- didn't go so hot.  Shortly after the Gibson interview, polls started mounting that indicated that Americans believed Palin just wasn't ready to be vice president.  Neither the debate with Biden nor any of the subsequent interviews did much to repair that image.  And for the record, what kind of interviews with a vice-presidential candidate are not "via media"?

On God's influence:

My reliance on seeking God's direction in all that I do -- that is good enough for me. And others who have a different worldview and different strategy on messaging and such, I would like to have the opportunity to prove to them that my gut instincts were going to be quite adequate.

Wow.  Seriously?  Was I living under a rock for 8 years?  Was Palin?  Didn't more than 68 million people vote to reject the legacy of a president who claimed that God told him to invade Iraq, and that he looked into Vladimir Putin's soul and saw a good man?

Yeah, seriously.  That people continue to think she'll be the Republican standard bearer in 2012 simply stuns me.
