With that statement she comes across as more presidential than prezbo.

I actually did search for "Palin vindictive".

The results were from the type of left wing wacko news sites I always suspected you of patronizing: joy behar, huffingtonpost, talkleft, laprogressive. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Found no results on the "world" laughing at Palin. Maybe you mean "she who laughs last laughs best."

Pep and cheer? Actually, Palin stands out as a leader in everything she does.

THR: ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ Shatters TLC Ratings Record (While Kathleen Parker Continues to Embarrass Self)
by John Nolte

While Kathleen Parker props the latest phase of her PleaseGodLikeMe career next to a whore-monger and embarrasses herself nightly with dismal ratings of less than a half-million viewers (well below Campbell Brown), the former Governor of Alaska who inspired the dishonest and mercenary impulses that made Ms. Parker who she is today, shattered ratings records last night doing what she does best, just being herself:

Sarah Palin’s documentary / travelogue / reality / biopic shattered TLC ratings records Sunday night.

The debut of Sarah Palin’s Alaska delivered a whopping 5 million viewers.

The first episode of the eight-part series was the most-watched program launch in TLC’s history.​

No doubt Ms. Parker’s response to yet another Palin triumph will be to hammer out a new round of snarky, superior opinion columns that will prove once again (to at least the .05% of the population who watch Parker/Spitzer) that her ability to craft superior snark trumps anyone who successfully governed a large state, won the Republican nomination for Vice President, and is currently changing the face of American electoral politics one endorsement at a time.

Sarah Palin's happiness is what really irks liberals

S.E. Cupp

Wednesday, November 17th 2010, 4:00 AM

This past weekend, I traveled to Chicago to speak at the Conservatives4Palin meetup, where Mama Grizzlies, Palinistas and "ordinary barbarians," as she's now taken to calling her followers, gathered to hear speeches, talk about conservative issues, celebrate a hypothetical Palin 2012 campaign and generally worship at the altar of Sarah Palin.

At one point during the program, Palin made a surprise phone call to the group, patched through one of the organizer's cell phones and played over a loudspeaker. The room burst into spontaneous applause and frenzied yelping as she launched into a warm and cheery 20-minute "thanks for all your hard work" chat.

...

And then it hit me. The reason Palin has become such a lightening rod, a kingmaker and a punching bag, a celebrity and a power player, is simple. It's because she's so gosh darn happy.

For her fans, like the ones I had the pleasure of meeting in Chicago, she's refreshingly upbeat and resilient, the bubbly friend from childhood who was always great at cheering you up and cheerleading you on.

But for her detractors, nothing raises the ire of cynical liberals more than a happy-go-lucky, totally unburdened, freethinking and self-assured conservative woman who has everything she wants and then some. And without anyone's help.

Sure, she'll tell you that Todd, her parents and her children are an invaluable support system. But after eight years of hearing that George W. Bush was a nepotism experiment gone wrong, Sarah Palin has made it here (wherever this is) on her own. John McCain's imprimatur certainly launched her into the national spotlight, but she became the youngest and first female governor of Alaska all on her own.
How dare she?

Liberalism, after all, needs to imagine an unhappy populace. Passing sweeping entitlement programs and convincing voters that big government is the answer only works if people are frustrated with their stations in life.

Thus Palin is a real threat to front-office operations.

And Sarah Palin, more than almost any other public political figure, represents the "can do" rugged individualism and self-reliance that liberals fear most. She's not just running her household. She ran her state! And in her new documentary series, we see that independent streak clear as glacier water. Whether she's casting for salmon or scaling the rockface at Denali, she's smiling - and just won't quit.

It isn't the angry, antiquated feminism of a Barbara Boxer. Or the pushy defiance of a Nancy Pelosi, who refuses to go quietly into that dark night. Or even the brash "I can make you regret being born" argumentativeness of an Ann Coulter.

It's the kind of ambition that comes from confidence in her convictions and the security of knowing that no matter what happens to her in the press, she's got a happy home life and everything she needs to survive in the wild - the Washington wild, that is.

If Palin's critics really want her to go away, they don't have to worry about her politics, her faith or her folksy rhetoric. They need to worry about her boundless happiness which, like her favorite hunting weapon, is poised to be a warm gun for anyone who dares cross her path.
