Whoa. Palin struggles in Couric interview

[Dulanic]

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

That's a low blow.

 

[Craig234]

The evidence mounts that gravity exists, that the world is flat, and that Palin is unqualified.

Watch this video

Why harp on this? Because it's importat for everyone to recognize her problems, and vote against that ticket for that reason alone, despite many others.

With her ideology being more radical and dangerous than her inability to say much that makes sense in interviews, it's a bad reflection on McCain's decision ability too.

HELL TO THE YEAH.....sooo pathetic it's sad but good that this is the best the republicans could come up with, BUSH in a ladies disguise. Hell at least Bush sounds a little more confident about his crap.

You could almost see how nauseous Palin made Couric as her BS alarm kept going off over and over. Oh and the repubs need to stop with the "Maverick" references....it's getting a bit old.....almost as old as McCain actually :laugh:


Let's just hope this election can put an end to this Repub BS.......

 

[Craig234]

I saw a quip I liked on Palin today. Referring to her terrible interview quotes, it said for her to keep saying things - 'moose lips sink ships".

 

[Moonbeam]

If you are a Republican all you heard is pure genius.

 

[Perknose]

Wow. That was a CLASSICALLY brainless autopilot jumble of mixed up talking points. That women is clueless, to one scary degree. :shocked:

Transcript:

COURIC: She?s not always responsive when she?s asked question and sometimes does slip back to her talking points. So it was a really interesting experience for mer to interview her yesterday.

RODRIGUEZ: Let?s see if that?s the case here, we have an excerpt where you ask her about her opinion on the bailout.

COURIC: Why isn?t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? Allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy? Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: That?s why I say, I like ever American I?m speaking with were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the tax payers looking to bailout.

But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy? Helping the ? Oh, it?s got to be about job creation too. Shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americas. A

And trade we?ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive scary thing. But 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We?ve got to look at that as more opportunity. ALl those things under the umbrella of job creation.

This bailout is a part of that.

Listen to it. It's worse than it even seems when you read it.

 

[nageov3t]

please.

James Danforth was far more experienced than Palin.

You guys are hilarious.

Lets see now, she furnished a relevant example for Cutie Couric's question. (The 2005 ref)
And then because she has not memorized 25 years of McCains voting record your giddy with yourselves.


How is it you don't find the Gaffmasters comments even more entertaining?
I especially like the recent one where he stated FDR appeared on the television to inform people during the depression in 1929.
Forget the fact that Hoover was President and Televison wasn't around yet.
Biden is a laugh a minute if he does get into office, I can just imagine the material he will provide for conservative talk radio. They'll have em rolling in the aisles.

 

[smack Down]

That is what happens when you pick a VP candidate that has no knowledge of any issues besides the length of moose season.

 

[First]

The fact that she had to look down at notes to an exceedingly simple question, and look down at least 2-3 times, was pretty damn amazing. Not in a good way.

Frankly, she could be running with Abraham Lincoln and I'd still be damn scared to see her anywhere near the WH.

Man, I can't even understand the response. I may need to watch this because that transcript makes my brain hurt.

I can't believe people think this woman is so wonderful. I actually don't mind McCain so much, but her I cannot stand. Even when she was doing "great" and American's were in love with her I watched her and she seemed so fake for some reason.

I really think, hard as it is to say, that she is possibly worse than Bush. I think she might make an even worse president if McCain croaks and she had to assume that role. If she got into office, though, Jon Stewart would have a guyaranteed four more years of material.
