If ever there were a candidate destined to shine on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’ Sarah Palin would be that woman.
The death of Mrs. Lincoln was a serious loss to her husband and children. Abraham’s sister Sarah was only eleven years old, and the tasks and cares of the little household were altogether too heavy for her years and experience.
The idea of the celebrity politician is nothing new, and depending on one’s perspective, either President Obama or Sarah Palin are the country’s first celebrity politicians.
I think there are a lot of outside interests that would like to see Sarah Palin in some form of elected office. Most in Alaska recognize our former governor is really not involved in or engaged in the state anymore, that she’s moved to other interests.
When it comes to politics, it’s nice to be mired with Sarah Palin. But I’m Paul Gosar. I’m my own person.
We all know that Sarah Palin loves attention.
Even though I don’t agree with either Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann on virtually anything, I do think the unique scrutiny – because of their gender and highlighting the potential conflict between them is a product of the media’s desire for juicy storylines. I think it’s inappropriate.
John McCain knows as well as anyone that Sarah Palin has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office. I’m sorry, it’s got nothing to do with the fact that she wears skirts – she’s grossly unqualified.
In ‘The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow,’ part of the ‘Dear America’ series, I took my childhood bravery and stubbornness and put that at the core of the Navajo girl, Sarah Nita. It helped me to identify with her survival and to write about her courageous journey and that of her people.
I did go to UCLA for art, but the other option was going to Sarah Lawrence and doing creative writing all the way. So that is part of the reason I love to read so much.
Growing up my mother played Sarah Vaughan and Nat Cole in the house regularly.
You just never know with movies how they’ll be seen in a few years. You have no idea. Like, movies that were super popular when they came out have been forgotten. And other movies – and I put ‘Sarah Marshall’ in this – kind of weirdly stand the test of time a little bit.
The thought of Sarah Palin as president gives me acid reflux.
I had written for Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman in the past. Jimmy had a different voice, and different priorities. He couldn’t be the bad guy in the joke; he couldn’t upset people, really.
To be completely honest, I don’t believe that Palin has any intention of actually running for president. Granted, trying to predict Sarah Palin’s next move is like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall.
I wasn’t the only one that saw Sarah Palin vacillate between glorious highs on the campaign trail – and, you know, while she was speaking and at the convention – to really troubling lows when she seemed stumped in interviews.
Sarah Silverman. She’s the reason I do comedy. Her DNC speech was my favorite thing I ever heard. Sitting down with her and laughing would be incredible.
Really, what’s not to love in John McCain, satire-wise? As if he had not already been good enough to us, then came his nomination of Sarah Palin. Here, truly, was a gift from the gods of satire.
I look up to Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman. The best part about ‘America’s Got Talent’ was performing with her!
Just as some Republicans despise John McCain for calling out Donald Trump, some Democrats could never accept him unless he became one of us. And he wasn’t: he voted with the NRA; supported the Iraq War; elevated Sarah Palin.
I spent well over a year on the road with Sarah Vaughn. That was amazing.
I worked for Sarah Palin. I have the political staffer version of P.T.S.D., so whenever I hear that she’s breaking her silence, my heart stops.
Mourning doesn’t always mean zen, mourning doesn’t always mean somber, mourning can just be a celebration of a life of people. It’s not always about wearing black and listening to a Sarah McLachlan song.
I knew from reading about Sarah Grimke that she’d been given a handmaid to be her personal slave and that her name was Hetty. The only other fact I knew about her was that Sarah taught her to read: They conspired in a very subversive way, by locking the door and screening the keyhole.
I like Sarah Palin.
I grew up listening to all kinds of music. When I came up, you would hear people like Marvin Gaye talking about Sarah Vaughan. You would go to a show and see Ella Fitzgerald performing the music of the Beatles.
My husband saw me go through the 2008 campaign cycle. We did it together for Sarah Palin and John McCain. It ended disastrously, and afterward I really wanted to do something different, so I started writing novels, and I imagined a fictional female president in my head.
When I was a kid, I was roaming through Glastonbury Festival at eight years old, on my own. I say ‘on my own’, but I was probably with my oldest sister Sarah, and she would have been 13 or 14 at the time, so she’d have been walking us around. But I got to go places and meet people, and was trusted a lot, without a doubt.
What do I predict with the HBO ‘Game Change’ movie? I expect my family and Sarah Palin to be nothing short of crucified.
Why is it our business whether Sarah Palin returned to her job as governor three days after her son was born, or three months? Is there a right answer?
I myself have raised plenty of questions about Sarah Palin, much to the annoyance of the McCain campaign. But those questions have been about her qualifications and experience, never her appearance.
OK, so, my favourite actress in the world is Sarah Paulson. I think she is so talented and I admire her so much, I have always said from the beginning she is someone who just really has perfected the craft. She could play anybody and be believable.
I do have to give it up for Sarah Palin on one account. She is brave.
Whatever part I’m playing, I always carry with me something that’s been used by an illustrious predecessor. I’m a great believer in a touching of hands. I have daggers belonging to Henry Irving and Sarah Siddons.
It’s not just that there’s no other spokesperson for the executive seat of power in a democratic republic anywhere in the world where you see that type of lying. It’s that there’s never been a spokesman for the executive seat in power who is such a prolific liar as Sarah Sanders.
Oscar Wilde: ‘Do you mind if I smoke?’ Sarah Bernhardt: ‘I don’t care if you burn.’
People like Bill Burr and Jim Gaffigan and Zach Galifianakis and Sarah Silverman – they were all amazing and helpful to me.
I think my favorite role was playing Sarah Baker in ‘Cheaper by the Dozen 1.’ It was my first movie, and I worked with amazing professionals who had such strong work ethics that I immediately learned how to work in this industry.
Of all Prince Philip’s respected biographers, only Sarah Bradford is adamant that Philip has had affairs.
I really enjoy Sarah Silverman’s fearlessness.
Hillary Clinton could say she was a woman and running for president. And Sarah Palin could say she was a woman and running for vice-president. But Obama couldn’t say, ‘I’m black and I’m running for president.’ It couldn’t come out of his mouth. He couldn’t say that because, if he did, he’d lose votes.
Take a look at Mila Kunis. When you see her performance in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall,’ you see a beauty there, and also a sadness.
I’d vote for Mickey Mouse before I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
I think the notion of Sarah Palin being president of the United States is something that frightens me, frankly.
It’s important for me to get close to Sarah Huckabee Sanders and actually fix her makeup.
Put me up against Sarah Silverman and I could take her.
I wish I’d had more fun in college. I spent a lot of time in my dorm room, reading or writing while listening to my Sarah McLachlan Pandora station.
The industry has died as far as modeling has gone, and I’ll tell you why. Magazines are featuring the Halle Berrys and Sarah Jessica Parkers, all the actresses. Makeup companies are featuring all the celebrities. All the models have died.
What I can say, categorically, is that working with Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates will have been the most formative experience for me, as an actor, for the rest of my life.
Sarah Gavron is a fantastic director.
I am uncomfortable with Sarah Palin. I have nothing against her. I’ll say she’s a very talented woman. Yet I think she owes John McCain her gratitude and loyalty.
My father was a huge jazz fan, so I remember him playing Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughn, and Count Basie.
I was a little punk rocker and was pregnant with Sarah when I went to university. I had her in the Christmas holidays of the first term. It was 1979, and UCL was very proud of its reputation as a liberal university, so they were very helpful.
I have a big problem with people who glamorize dumbness and demonize education and intellect. And I’m giving a pretty good description of Sarah Palin right now.
I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.
It would be absurd for me to diagnose Sarah Palin with a sprained ankle, let alone any sort of mental illness.
I thought Sarah Palin was the ultimate expression of comic outrageousness in a person.
