Palin gunning for a job while she’s in (image) rehab…
Not quite the jobs that most junkies expected her to publicly campaign for, however. In yet another interview with the mainstream media, Palin tells CNN’s Blitzer that she is hopeful that an Obama presidency is successful and that it would be her “honor” to “assist and support our new president” on areas she is knowledgeable in, specifically mentioning energy policy and special needs child care.
The Alaska governor said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that if Obama asked her for help on some of the issues she highlighted during this year’s campaign, such as energy or services for special-needs children, “It would be my honor to assist and support our new president and the new administration.”
“And I speak for other Republicans and Republican governors, also,” said Palin, whom Sen. John McCain tapped as his running mate in August. “They would be willing also to seize this opportunity that we have to progress this nation together, in a united front.”
Still in some sort of pseudo-campaign mode, Palin did find the time to stop praising Obama and bring up the president-elect’s ties to “unrepentant domestic terrorist” Bill Ayers as a fact that the Alaska Governor is “still concerned” about. Palin was actually quite adamant about the need to explore the whole Ayers thing and vowed that she would “talk about it.”
But asked moments later about some of the tough rhetoric she hurled from the stump, she said she was “still concerned” about Obama’s ties to former Weather Underground member-turned-Chicago college professor William Ayers.
“If anybody still wants to talk about it, I will,” she said. “Because this is an unrepentant domestic terrorist who had campaigned to blow up, to destroy our Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol.
Anyone else awfully confused about Palin’s motives and schizophrenic messages in her recent blitz of media interviews? Palin demonizes the press as biased and unfair, then she eagerly laps up their ostensibly “negative” attention and gives interview after interview, keeping her name in the news on a relatively favorable basis and knocking the embarrassing revelations from McCain campaign insiders about her behavior during the late campaign.
Palin has found her best bud when it comes to image rehab in the MSM. The press loves juicy exclusives with a somewhat wacky celebrity - Sarah being a political celebrity makes it all the better.

President-elect Obama will have Sarah chair some govt agency that overseas non-profit groups that assist the needs of challenged children and adults - also toss in the suggestion of having her work in some joint fund raisers with the Jerry Lewis’ MS foundation.
…oops, that is - oversees non-profit groups……
Uh, confused? Yeah, you might say that. What did they do with the real Sarah Palin?
There go my hopes of Sarah in 2012. I thought we’d found a fresh new beginning for hope in the Republican Party.
She’s beginning to sound as if someone made her drink the koolaid.
What is it with this Osama-Obama worship?
