Gov. Sarah Palin has done several television interviews the last few days. One was with Matt Lauer and the other with Greta Van Susteren. Greta’s interview with Palin was probably one of the best interviews of 2008. It was a fascinating in home interview in which the governor cooked Moose chili and Caribou hot dogs for Greta and the crew. The interview was in two parts with each lasting nearly an hour and aired Monday and Tuesday night.

Out of everything Gov. Palin said on those two nights, the only part the media is buzzing about was when she spoke about God and her faith. One would think we were living in a secular progressive country led by an Athiest president for the last eight years given the media’s reaction to her comments.

Chris Matthews called Palin’s references to her faith “dangerous” and Maureen Dowd couldn’t resist penning a snotty little op-ed referencing the comments as well. It goes without saying that Dowd being the liberal elitist b*tch that she is, just can’t help herself. The idea that a woman could actually be unpretentious and authentic is simply inconceivable. Any woman who doesn’t abort her babies, doesn’t live in NYC, and doesn’t believe Al Gore is quite simply — a dumbass.

‘Chutzpah’ is the word that comes to mind when I hear Chris Matthews call Gov. Palin’s religious views “dangerous.” This from a guy who said on air that Barack Obama’s speeches give him a thrill up his leg. Or when he said just a couple of days ago that his job is to make Obama’s presidency a success. Now that is dangerous.

In case you missed the interview with Gov. Palin, here’s the hideous thing she said about her faith:

We are gonna have a 2012. I don’t know who’s gonna be a part of it. You
know I, I, faith is a very big part of my life and putting, putting my
life in my creator’s hands. This is what I always do in life. Okay God
if there is an open door for me somewhere – this is what I always pray
– I’m like don’t let me miss the open door. And if there is an open
door in ’12 or four years later and if it’s something that’s gonna be
good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me,
then I’ll plow through that door.

Whoa! Now that’s what I call controversial. After all, we’ve never heard Barack Obama talk about his faith.
