It’s Cold in Alaska, But Sarah Palin Receives a Warm Welcome!

Arriving in Alaska, Sarah Palin told reporters that one tough lesson she’d learned from the campaign was that “the media is not always fair.”

No kidding.

That Palin emerged from her brief experience on the national stage sounding upbeat is a testament to her strength and courage after the barrage of hate-mongering she underwent from the ranks of our unabashedly sexist media and Obama’s millions of foul-mouthed netroots supporters.

(Incidentally, the left-wing netroots will vociferously demand a seat at the table in an Obama Administration - more about this scary possibility in upcoming posts.)

The Caucus (NY Times) reports:

‘“We are Alaskans!’ Gov. Sarah Palin, standing with her husband Todd, told scores of cheering supporters who showed up to greet her upon her return to Alaska late Wednesday.

‘“Standing on the icy tarmac on a subfreezing night, Ms. Palin said she had learned much about America in her time on the campaign trail with Senator John McCain. She also said she looked forward to getting back to her day job. She promised to work to expand development of Alaska's oil and gas resources and also to be a voice for families, like her own, that have children with special needs. She said she would ‘reach out’ to Senator Barack Obama, the president-elect, on these issues and more.

“’I just thank God for this opportunity that I have to be your governor,’ Ms. Palin said.

‘“You did so great out there,’ one woman in the crowd said. ‘We are so proud of you,’ read one sign. A chant gained volume, encouraging Ms. Palin to return to the national stage: ‘Two thousand twelve!’

“Then Ms. Palin turned to speak to reporters. Once again, she asserted that the rumors of tension between her and Mr. McCain were not true. In fact, she said, they spoke by phone today during her layover in Seattle.

‘“We had a great relationship,’ she said, adding, ‘I love him.’”

I’ve a hunch Sarah Palin will be back. Perhaps by then the media and the left-wing netroots will have grown up, but don’t count on it.
