Palin Called GOP Bigwigs Before Quitting

Phone records reveal chats with Cheney, Giuliani

Share

(Newser) – Sarah Palin spoke to several top Republicans in the weeks before her resignation, ABC News reports. An open-records request finds that in May, Palin was on the phone to Dick Cheney, Rudy Giuliani, and Charlie Crist, among others. A spokeswoman said that Cheney had been talking about an upcoming vacation in Alaska. Palin's office declined to comment on the conversations.

Whatever! So now she's a travel agent too. Sarah Palin said politics is a "bloodsport" and she wants nothing to do with it and in the same breath talks of staying politically active in the national level. The woman is a flat out liar and manipulator. But what people will remember is that she's a quitter and she jumped a sinking ship. Reply
