Sarah Palin: An Unexpected Encounter

Posted by Ilana Angel

Photo

Yesterday a friend and I had a meeting together in the valley.  I arrived before he did, so I decided to sit outside and wait since it was such a beautiful day.  As I sat in the sun, I saw a women chatting with a gentleman a few feet away.  I thought I recognized her, but was not sure.

I saw my friend approaching, so I got up and walked towards him.  As I passed the woman, I got a good look and realized I was looking at Sarah Palin.  I hugged my friend and we turned to walk into the building.  I then stopped, turned around, and walked back towards her.

Let me begin by saying that Sarah Palin is beautiful.  Not just pretty, but beautiful.  She has great hair, fabulous teeth, magnificent skin, and a killer body.  She is tiny, feminine, and stunning.  She is very approachable, so I decided to introduce myself, and say hello.

She was standing there with Mark Burnett, who I think is fabulous.  We all know I am a reality television junky, and think he is King, but I was so blown away by how much fun she was to talk to, that I barely said hello to a man who I think totally rocks.  Note to self for next time, never give up an opportunity to talk to Mark Burnett. 

To clarify, I don’t agree with her politics.  We are polar opposite in terms of our political, and religious views.  That said, her politics and beliefs have nothing to do with my blog. This is America and she can believe what she wants, as can everyone else, myself included.  I approached her because I like her as a woman.  We are both ballsy ladies, and mothers.

I introduced myself and told her that I thought she was entertaining on Leno the night before.  I don’t actually watch Leno, and never will again, but I had seen a ton of clips online.  Sidebar:  Jay Leno is a baby, and a putz, and I hope Conan has sweet success and revenge.

So anyway, I tell her that I think she is a hoot, and while we are very different in our political views, I think she is a great broad, and I would enjoy hanging out with her.  I love her as a woman, which is hard for people who feel strongly about her politics, to understand.

She asked me what my name was, what I did for a living, what my deal was in general.  I told her about my kid, my blog, and my search for love.  She asked for the link to my blog so she could read it, and mentioned that her sister was also in her 40’s, single, and looking for love.

We spoke about how hard it is to be single, and she related because her sister is in the same boat.  I wonder what is harder to do:  find a nice Jewish guy in Los Angeles, who is not looking for a Barbie?  Or finding a nice guy in Wasilla, Alaska, where everyone knows everyone?  Both are small pools, but I think my chances are slimmer.

In speaking with her, I quickly forgot who she was in terms of her work, and what she stands for, and was able to see her as just another woman.  It was like being with a girlfriend.  She was funny and engaging. I must tell you, I liked her.  At the risk of sounding too Californian, she has a good energy, and made me feel instantly comfortable.

We talked about glasses and purses.  I asked her if we could take a picture and she was lovely.  Someone from her group took the picture, and as he was getting the phone ready, I told her I normally take off my glasses for pictures, and she said, “Don’t you dare!”  It was a great moment.

She wished me well, gave me a hug and told me she would look at the blog and pass the link onto her sister.  To her sister Molly McCann, hello!  Your sister is fantastic, and looking out for you.  We need to compare notes about being single, and the struggles to meet good, decent men.

My encounter with Ms. Palin was unexpected, and very enlightening.  Women have a lovely connection to each other.  We may not have the same experiences, or viewpoints, but we can relate to each other.  Parallels can be drawn between most women, even on the smallest of levels.  It is a sisterhood that is understood, and embraced.

We get caught up a lot on religion and politics.  I know I do, and am quite opinionated about my point of view.  At the end of the day however, I just liked her.  We could not be more opposite in terms of our beliefs and politics, but she is a great lady, and nobody can take that away from her.  While I won’t be voting for her, ever, she has my admiration as a woman, and as a mother.

So Ms. Palin, apart from being annoyed that you are so skinny, pretty, funny, and have a yummy husband, I dug you, and it was a pleasure to meet you.  I’m sending good wishes to Molly that she meets her Prince Charming.  For you and your family, my son, myself, the troops, and for America, I will continue to keep the faith.

Wonderful story, Ilana. I loved your description of your Palin encounter. I have met Sarah, too, although it was only for 30 seconds at a book signing. I also met her dad and her aunt Katie. They are wonderful down-to-earth people. What I like most about Sarah is her fearlessness and sincerity. All the best to you!

Comment by Nicole on 3/03/10 at 11:01 pm

Nicole,

Thanks for writing and your kind words.

Comment by Ilana Angel on 3/03/10 at 11:29 pm

Nothing wrong admitting we can actually like someone we disagree with politically and on social mores.

I have several liberal friends, and we all know to leave the political talk out of our interactions.  I realize politics divides us, but if faced with an external threat, we would cast all such aside in a heartbeat, for we have much more in common than what divides us.

Comment by Travis on 3/04/10 at 12:03 am

Thanks for writing Travis.  Agreed.

Best,
Ilana

Comment by Ilana Angel on 3/04/10 at 12:07 am

What a great post Ilana.

Sarah Palin is a real inspiration to both men and women all across the country. Not sure if you have read her book, but she talks about her closest circle of friends in Alaska. These women are from various backgrounds and political persuasions. But they all share lifelong friendship.

I think if more Americans take a chance to know Sarah, who she really is, they would be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for a wonderful read.

BTW, this is a from an article in the Jerusalem Post discussing Sarah and her strong support of Israel:

Comment by Gary on 3/04/10 at 12:26 am

Great post, Ilana.  It’s refreshing to actually see someone ballsy enough to admit that two adults can actually find common ground where they have many differences.  Fortunately for me, I happen to agree with virtually all of Sarah’s political views, but I also very much respect your disagreements and your rights to share them openly.  I also happen to agree with your initial assessment of her genuine nature in just passing her on the street.  More people should see her for the person she is rather than the opinions she expresses.  She is a truly beautiful person inside and out.

It is very rare in today’s society to meet someone with whom we can immediately connect and engage in meaningful and sincere conversation.  To me, Sarah Palin is exactly that type person, one whom if we were unexpectedly stranded for hours, like in a stalled elevator or in an overnight layover in an airport lobby, would feel as comfortable as a pajama party with old high school friends.  And what strikes me as most admirable about her character is that she truly seems to be someone whose word can be trusted and in whom trust would not be betrayed.  I earnestly believe she would be the same person in office that she was when you met today.  If there was only one politician in the world I could trust to give vote to my voice, it would be Sarah Palin.

Nice to read your thoughts.  Thanks for sharing.

Comment by Terry in Georgia on 3/04/10 at 1:11 am

Just to let you know that because you have written sincerely about Sarah, Politics and shared differences, someone in far away Baku, Azerbaijan is now reading your blog post.

Comment by Nicky on 3/04/10 at 1:14 am

Hi Ilana,

What a great post. I hope you and Molly hit it off, and that both of you find just the guy you’re looking for—smart, funny, hardworking, and yummy as can be! wink

By the way, you may not be politically conservative yourself, but this post will be read by plenty of conservatives—I got here via a link on Conservatives4Palin.

Now, if you get a link from Glenn Reynolds, fuggedabout it—conservative/libertarian Instalanche!

Comment by JR Dogman on 3/04/10 at 2:24 am

Thanks for writing that - most of the people I either love or have an affection for do not share my political or religious views. They do not even like cricket - but I just feel comfortable and easy in their company. Maybe we make a better picture when we can fit into each other as differently shaped pieces of jigsaw…

Comment by David L Riddick on 3/04/10 at 3:03 am

Gary,  Thanks for your kind note and sharing the link. 
Terry, I appreciate you taking the time to write.
Nicky, Welcome!  So glad you found me from so far away.
JR, Never thought my blog would make it to a conservative website!
David,  I love what you wrote, thanks for reading and sharing.

I truly am blown away by the comments this blog entry is receiving and I hope Ms. Palin gets a chance to read it.  The experience has given me pause, and the kindness of strangers is sweet.

At some point, something will happen, or be said, that will inspire me to blog about something politically driven, and perhaps my words will not be so well accepted.  When that happens, and it will, it will be an opinion of the mind not the heart.

Sarah Palin is a wonderful women, and that opinion of her, by me, will not be altered.

Thanks again everyone.

Ilana

Thank u for great story on meeting Gov. Palin.  I so appreciate your honesty and openess, and yes, I have met her as well, and sense the same thing.  However, full disclosure; unlike you, I do agree with her faith and policies and will vote for her.  Again, I think your comments were great for America and for women, and wish we all would be as honest and fortcoming as you were in your account of your meeting with Palin.  I will continue to check your blog!

Comment by Janska on 3/04/10 at 7:41 am

Janska,

Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.
Glad you found the blog and hope we see you again.

Comment by Ilana Angel on 3/04/10 at 7:48 am

Thank you for the wonderful post about your encounter with Gov. Palin. It is what I wish every woman would take to heart. I do not care for Hillary Clinton’s politics, but I sure was pulling for her to get the nod for from the DNC. I thought it was horrible the way these two women were treated by the media and their own parties during the election cycle. It would be a perfect world if we could applaud women in politics instead of use their party to attack them.

Comment by Chris on 3/04/10 at 8:13 am

Thanks for writing Chris.
I appreciate you taking the time.

Comment by Ilana Angel on 3/04/10 at 8:27 am

I saw this posted at Team Sarah and just wanted to say open and fairmindedness is not a lost virtue. Thank you for the personal post of a chance meeting. I just wonder if I could be as gracious as you if I saw Nancy Pelosi on the sidewalk?

Comment by Maggie on 3/04/10 at 9:51 am

Ilana, I too found your story from a conservative website (Team Sarah), and I found your chance encounter with Sarah so refreshing!  You see, I lost my best friend of 23 years over politics.  My friend decided abruptly, all of the sudden, that we had nothing in common anymore.  Nevermind that we had years of marriages, divorces, deaths in the family, births, adoptions, heartbreaks and too many laughs to count.  One day she just decided that since I was a conservative and a Christian, that she could no longer be my friend, b/c we had “nothing in common”.  It broke my heart, and I continue to hope that she will realize that a true good friend is too precious to just throw away over politics.  We had a rule not to talk about religion and politics, but she broke the rule, and then used it as an excuse to dump our friendship.  There is so much hostility these days, that it’s just heartwarming to hear a story like your meeting with Sarah Palin.  I wish you luck and happiness in your pursuit of the love of your life!

Comment by Karen in WA on 3/04/10 at 10:02 am

Maggie, 

I’m not sure I would stop to talk to Nancy either, LOL.  Different kind of chick.

Karen,

I’m sorry about your friend.  I hope she comes around too.

Thanks for writing ladies.  I appreciate your kind words.

Ilana

Comment by Ilana Angel on 3/04/10 at 10:10 am

Thank you for your wonderful account of your meeting with Sarah.  She is a very warm woman and it was great to see you find her that way as well.  I hope her sister does come to your page and you can strike up a friendship.

Sarah stands for good things, especially Israel and Jewish people.  She loves Israel and Jews.  That is why I love Sarah.  God loves Israel and the Jews and so does she. 

You don’t have to agree with her politically, but it was great to see your honest assessment of your encounter with her.  It is great to see your willingness to be open to meeting her.  That speaks volumes about what a nice person you are and how you are not jaded by politics.  Thanks for sharing your encounter and for being so honest.

Comment by Melody on 3/04/10 at 10:17 am

As a member of Team Sarah.org, I found your article in one of the blogs.  I have to say that I am a Sarah Palin supporter and I was a Reagan supporter.  I have a lifelong friend, a Liberal with a capital “L” who has had a running argument with me about Sarah.  When he tuned her in on Leno, he told me that he finally saw her for who she really is and not what the usual media outlets told him to think.  He had a fresh opinion about her.  I have no idea if he would ever vote for her, but I do know that he has no love for Obama after this atrocious first year and he might just change his voting pattern for the first time in 60 years.  Thanks for you refreshing article.

Comment by BJP on 3/04/10 at 10:49 am

Whatever. She’s a horrid woman. Her politics—personal and public—are dispicable. She’s a lying, conniving, two-faced, back-stabbing bitch. And her only interest in Jewish people is to convert you to her brand of psychotic, speaking-in-tongues, anti-Semitic “Christianity”.
I have Republican friends who like her—we don’t talk religion or politics obviously—and I know it’s possible to like and love people who disagree on these issues. But those folks aren’t trying to subvert my beloved country and cause me and mine harm. Palin and her crowd are, and there’s really no fraternizing, or sororitizing, with the enemy.

Comment by Deborah on 3/04/10 at 11:06 am

Great blog, My Dear!  A pleasant person is a pleasant person. PERIOD!

Comment by Michelle Q. on 3/04/10 at 11:11 am

Deborah, by the completely negative tones that you display for the rest of us to judge you by, you unfortunately sound just like a real member of the Obama team; Chicago thug politics at it’s best.  You know so much about Sarah Palin after one year.  How much did you know about Barry Soetoro, aka, Kenyan born, Barack Hussein Obama before you helped to throw this country into complete turmoil with your vote?  God help you because you need all the help you can get.

Comment by BJP on 3/04/10 at 11:22 am

Thank you for the nice story and commentary; I’m a Sarah Palin supporter (a very strong one at that), and in that capacity I would lie to you if I weren’t to admit that my hope, and pray to God for it, that women like yourself would simply see what’s right about Sarah and what she stands for.
In any case, thank you for the story.

Comment by James Frost on 3/04/10 at 11:26 am

I’m also a member of Team Sarah.org Your comments are so refreshing, even if we don’t agree on everything, I wish the MSM would remember… we’re ALL AMERICANS
Thank you so much for your honesty!

Comment by Barbara on 3/04/10 at 11:37 am

I read this on another Sarah Palin site and wanted to commend you for your Honesty and sense of fairness. I am a solid supporter of Sarah and think she would make a great President. And as James said above I pray to God that people see what we see in Sarah. 
Thank you for writing this it important that people know that Sarah is a good person and not the caracature that the MSM as created.

Comment by Mymati on 3/04/10 at 3:32 pm

Deborah sounds like a male in woman’s clothing and a host one of the most unbelievable anti-Gov. Palin blogs in AK.
The energy poured into their negativity is beyond reason.
Certainly hope AK. has adequate mental health facilities for those bloggers and posters.

Ilana you show your stature in being able to compliment an individual even though your opinions differ.

Comment by fb on 3/04/10 at 5:12 pm

wow, hardly know where to begin. I suspect that most of the comments to this were prepared in advance because Sarah is a ninny. she is not someone to admire as a politician, and certainly not as a woman. also, she does not love Israel and she does not love Jews, but even if she did that would not excuse her vile behavior, lack of intelligence, or her idiocy. Oh, and she’s not beautiful. You have to be pretty on the inside to be pretty on the outside.

Comment by andrea r on 3/04/10 at 6:09 pm

As long as you keep it to discussions of dating, purses and glasses, I’m sure she’s very pleasant - and even qualified!

Comment by JS on 3/04/10 at 6:39 pm

Deborah and andrea, as a Christian, I can assure you, that Christians are actually very PRO Israel and believe that the Jews are God’s chosen people.  We will always defend them.  It’s sad how hate filled you two are.  You accuse others of hatred, when it is actually YOU who spew hatred.  Think about it…

Comment by Karen in WA on 3/04/10 at 9:39 pm

Karen in WA: What makes you think I’m not a Christian? I’m not a fundamentalist. I can assure you that all Christians are no more alike than all people of any other religion, nor should they be. my opinion of Sarah Palin is not based on religion, but on character. I’m one of the least hate-filled people you will ever not have the opportunity to know. But I don’t have to spew hatred because Palin regularly shares her despicable and inane opinions. If you choose to like her, that’s your prerogative but if you think she is qualified that’s just poor judgement.

Comment by andrea r on 3/04/10 at 10:19 pm

Thank you for blogging about your encounter with Palin! I am a former Democrat and now a Republican because of her. I am from the Los Angeles area as well, so I know all about being a Democrat. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I’d support a Republican, but strangely, I believe that this woman will hold true to her promises to bring this country back on the right track. She campaigns as a social conservative, but in office, she just focuses on the fiscal conservative issues.  I don’t agree with her on everything, but I certainly agree with her fiscal conservative views and on energy issues. She would make a great Secretary of Energy if she does not become president. And if she does become president, you just have yourself a picture with the future first female president.

Comment by Linda W on 3/04/10 at 11:48 pm

andrea “by their fruits you shall know them”.  That’s how I know.  How do YOU know that Sarah “does not love Israel and does not love Jews”?  Where is your evidence of that?  I want your proof! The truth is that you don’t have any proof.  The truth is, that you just don’t like her and therefore you feel the need to slander her with madeup tripe. I do believe that you and Deborah have spoiled the whole beauty of this blog, which, until you both commented, was a lesson in stopping with the hatred and trying to understand where people are coming from.  Ilana’s blog was entirely about that.  98% of the comments were about finding common ground. 2% was about continuing to sling mud.  Guess who the 2 percent are?  I swear I don’t understand WHY people feel the need to wallow in hatred.  Just read your two comments over, and tell me that it isn’t inspired by hatred.  You literally spew visciousness.  I feel sorry for you.

Comment by Karen in WA on 3/05/10 at 12:12 am

Ilana Angel, thank you for having the courage to print kind and loving words about Sarah.  Unfortunately so many women are envious of her and print lies and garbage.  I commend you for standing up and speaking the truth.  You will go a long way if you keep the truth on the forefront and remember that we are all accountable for what we say and do.  God bless you as you continue on the journey God has place you on.  I will be praying for your prince charming.  Ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall open, seek and you will find.
Blessings, Irma

Comment by Irma on 3/05/10 at 9:48 am

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.  Your honesty in writing is greatly appreciated. Sarah Palin is not only beautiful on the outside, she is beautiful on the inside as well.  Oh, and good luck on finding the right guy grin

Comment by Jackie on 3/05/10 at 9:53 am

I want to thank you for posting this. I am a Sarah fan and admire her for a number of reasons. I can not tell you how refreshing it was to read a piece that shows the Sarah that those of us who like her already know.
The fact that your politics and religion are not like hers are not what is important…what is,is the fact that you had a open mind and judged her for what she really is…a wonderful person.
I want to thank you again and you now have a new reader to your blog. smile

Comment by Michele on 3/05/10 at 10:39 am

I am curious why you consider Palin your “polar opposite in terms of our . . . religious views.”

I understand she is some sort of strict protestant Christianity, but she is not a born Jewish person (to my knowledge) and thus not called to be Jewish.  Christianity is considered by most Jewish thinkers to be an acceptable Noahdic religion since the Rambam.

While there are obvious theolgical differences, she doesn’t seek to convert Jewish people, and Chabad in Alaska was very complimentary to her throughout her career in Alaska.  Orthodox friends of mine from Alaska considered her a friend of the Jewish people, and a believer in the Covenant with Abraham and a firm supporter of the modern state of Israel for both reasons related to her religios beliefs and a simple fact that history has shown that Jewish people need a country of their own.

As a Jewish person (of the Modern Orthodox variety myself), I candidly can’t think of a non-Jewish persons whose is more similiar in belief to an observant Jewish person.

She certainly is not your “polar opposite” in religious matters.

Comment by Jewbacca on 3/05/10 at 10:54 am

Nice article. Like most of the posters above, I find it refreshing and heart warming that you were able to forget about politics and recognize that while we can disagree on politics, we can still be nice, warm and loving to each other as human beings who have to deal with similar issues in our day to day lives.Wish there were more like you out there.All the best. BTW, I think you are very pretty.

Comment by Smithy on 3/05/10 at 11:35 am

Thank you for this blog.  I had sent Sarah Palin a letter of encouragement some months ago, and never expected a reply.  She sent a note back fully handwritten thanking me.  She is a warm, sincere person, and she has courageously withstood a torrent of abuse.  I respect her greatly.  Thanks again.

Comment by William on 3/05/10 at 11:38 am

this is my final post. obviously the comments here are from an organized source. they do not reflect the opinions of most readers of this paper, or most citizens of this country.

Comment by andrea r on 3/05/10 at 12:50 pm

Poor Deborah… after reading a non-political blog post and the best you have to say is something about fraternizing with the enemy?  Sad but enlightening.  Living in a constant state of derangement.  Hopefully someone is praying for you.  Personal I wouldn’t. I’ll pray for Sarah palins safety from people deranged like you.  New words Ilana

Comment by Ernst on 3/05/10 at 12:55 pm

Your experience mirrors ours.  Wife and I did the exact same thing as you, and in no way did we expect a reply.  But in the mail one day, came a hand written and signed note from the desk of Sarah Palin thanking us.

In these days of auto replies, that hand written note from Sarah Palin is now a prized possession.


As an aside:  For awhile at least it was pleasant to read this thread.  But as usual, the Palin haters spread the word and it now resembles a CNN Palin thread, becoming full of spitefull hatefull silliness. 

So I will now leave, and thank you Ilana

Comment by travis on 3/05/10 at 1:47 pm

How refreshing to read a leftist who is also human. The government structure and social doctrine of Socialism are not reconcilable with our Constutitional Republic;  but human beings, who are not filled with fear and hate, are reconcilable.

Comment by Sara on 3/05/10 at 5:05 pm

I thought your post was very good. You distinguish yourself from all the vitriolic bloggers out there that just can’t separate politics from the human experience. It defines them in ways that just don’t do justice to basic, human decency. I know that what I stand for and I’m glad that you do too…even if we disagree politically.

Comment by Ernie Vogel on 3/05/10 at 5:51 pm

I have no idea what “the opinions of most readers of this paper” are, b/c this is my first time here.  Ilana’s blog was SO good that it was passed around to various sites, and people commented on it b/c it was SO good.  There’s nothing organized about it.  It’s just an honest and open chat about people.  I want to thank Ilana for her honesty and frankness about her meeting with Sarah.  I do wish there were more like her.  God bless all…

Comment by Karen in WA on 3/05/10 at 9:09 pm

Thank you, Ilana, for a writing so warmly about Sarah Palin.  As a liberal democrat, I have some different political views from Sarah Palin, but I am won over to her because I believe her reasons underlying her views come from and are that of the “genuine person” she is.  I have never met her, but through you, I now feel that I have met her.  Thank you, again.

Comment by Kimo on 3/05/10 at 11:10 pm

Hi Ilana - saw your post at Israpundit and couldn’t leave a comment, so I thought I’d leave it here.

Your story of meeting Palin and the whackjobbery that followed reminds me of why I do not have comments on my blog. Not with a blog title like this.

There are things I like about her as a person but I just hate and I do mean DESPISE her politics. Two different things; grownups are able to keep them separate.

And it does not surprise me at all that it was a pleasure meeting her—she seems to have genuinely earned that reputation.

So, I don’t hate her enough for the haters and I don’t worship her enough for the loyalists. Oh well.

So do keep tha’ faith sista. There are those of us out here in Palinland who know exactly what you dealt with.

Comment by Oh Crap, I Have A Crush on Sarah Palin on 3/06/10 at 4:53 am

Hi Ilana,

I wandered over here from FreeRepublicdotcom. This libertarian leaning, social moderate, fiscal conservative gives you props for writing about your pleasant encounter with Sarah Palin. I, and many fiscal conservatives, saw what you saw in Sarah from the very beginning. It’s one reason I like her. Genuine people are very hard to find in every day life, much less in a public figure.
I just don’t understand why some would condemn you for writing an impartial review of your encounter. What on earth are those people so afraid of?

Keep up the great blogging.

Best,
Sharon

PS- Now I’m wondering who I know in LA that is Jewish that might be able to match you up, lol. I know one guy who is married, but he has lots of friends…do you like Led Zeppelin? If so, I’ll put you in touch!

Comment by Sharon on 3/07/10 at 12:14 am

You will not meet a more grounded and nicer person at the national level than Sarah Palin.  She is radiant and warm and nothing like the caricature portrayed by the mainstream media.  People should take the time to get to know the true Sarah Palin.  A good place to start is with her book.

Ilana, you will not meet another American politician who is more pro-Israel than Sarah.  While governor, the flag of Israel was in her office with the US flag.

Get to know her now.  There is a very good chance she will be our President in 2013.

And she will get there with her optimism, warmth, integrity and generally uplifting attitude to leadership and life.

Comment by Sapwolf on 3/07/10 at 9:35 pm

“To clarify, I don’t agree with her politics.  We are polar opposite in terms of our political, and religious views.”
“while we are very different in our political views…”
“We could not be more opposite in terms of our beliefs and politics”
We get it. You are a liberal.
