Sarah Palin soundly attacked on Twitter



In the wake of her classic diss of Karen Gustafson, the Alaska Teacher who got after Governor Palin for quitting her job as the top politco in the state, Sarah Palin has been getting skewered on Twitter on Monday night.

If its not Palin's teacher diss, it's her ex-son-in-law to be Levi Johnston annoucing he's going to run for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. And if it's not those two news items, it's for Sarah Palin just being, well, Sarah Palin.

Wow. Take a look at some of the tweets found just via a search for "Sarah Palin."

Film Critic Roger Ebert calls the Palin Teacher Diss Video a "defining moment:"




ebertchicago - A Sarah Palin Defining Moment. Note the personality change when she realizes a video really is being made. http://j.mp/bOX3VV


Others have less intelligent, but totally funny takes:

OTOOLEFAN - So, Sarah Palin laughs at teachers? I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

And so it goes. The vast majority of tweets are not favorable to Palin here, and Palin's got to be concerned about her public persona in the wake of this video, not to mention all of the other small self-inflicted Palin wounds of 2010 that seem to be adding up and not in a good way.

Palin's starting to look like someone who enjoys the limelight, but doesn't shine in it. That wasn't true when she was Governor and makes me think Karen Gustafson was right.

    I think the "less intelligent" part of the comments are what are important here. Armchair pundits who cannot even spell on Twitter certainly are not helping Obama's 42% approval right now. Liberals have gone from defending him to doubling their resources on attacking Sarah Palin. In the end, it will all wash out for what it's truly worth.
