  • OMG – just say “I don’t know” you fucking idiot!!!!! You aren’t fooling anyone with your 1st grade level political rhetoric! AHHHH this woman just enrages me!! *end rant*

  • Sigh. Canada is looking better and better…

    If one more cross-eyed little knitwit tries to shove more platitudes down my throat (I should respect her because she’s a mother, it’s time to put a Joe-six-pack in the white house, she’s a victim of gotcha journalism) I’m packing my bags and heading North.

    1. If you are getting your ass kicked by Katie Fucking Couric in an interview, you have no business being at the forefront of American politics. Katie is my mom on speed. If you can’t hold your own against my mom, good luck with the president of Iran.

    2. I don’t want a Joe-six-pack in the White House. Kids- we are living in fairly fucked up times right now. We don’t need somebody AVERAGE.

    3. To my point above, being INTELLIGENT doesn’t make you elitist. She can’t even NAME an amendment to the Constitution, let alone explain one. Biden may be a screwball, too- but at least he’s firing on all six cylinders.

    4. Yes, she’s a woman and a mother. How nice. 50% of the population are qualified to be mothers. The main qualification is having a vagina. Congratulations. You are very special.

    5. To my point above, there is NOTHING SEXIST about stating that she is unqualified to hold this position. I don’t care if she pops out 30 kids. I even thought she really did well at the RNC. The problem is that she has opened her mouth since then.

    Ok, I’m done. I have to get back to my brain surgery. I can see a hospital across the street, so I’m clearly qualified…

  • She makes me feel embarrassed, as a woman.

    I really find myself detesting her. And detesting McCain for making such a huge mistake of a choice just to try to counter the race card with a gender card. If the goal was it had to be a woman, why not pick from among the very qualified women available. Why this one? She’s like George Bush in lipstick…ignorant of the world, country, and the job at hand, but brushing off that ignorance as if it’s humorous. Oh isn’t it so cute and charming that we don’t know what’s going on.

    And I so very much agree with folks like the person above who point out that we don’t want to aspire to have our country goverened by an “average” person. Mediocrity is NOT a desired attribute. I’d like my leader to *understand* the average person, not *be* the average person. I want my leader to be smarter and more competent than me. I want it to be someone I’d be out of my depth talking to. Because I know *I* could not get us out of this mess and I’d like someone BETTER than me to be doing it!

    Ugh. It’s the American Idol brand of politics now where we’re not voting on the person best for the job but the person we “like” best. As if the presidency was a reality show where we want to root for certain types. This is something that has real impact and real consequences. This is our future. Use your brains to decide.

  • You’re right Beet….

    I’m gonna vote for Obama, ummm cus he’s black and because all the cool young celebrities support him. So if I do it I’ll be one of the cool kids like Lohan, Pink, Ludacris and P. Diddy. …Wow, they might even come to my house and thank me for my vote and love me forever.

    I really don’t know what the fuck any of the serious issues are like the FHFA takeover, Universal Health Plans or Foreign policy but Obama supports gay people and being pro-choice, and that’s awesome cus …you know, Ellen is gay and one day I might get raped and pregnant and would like the option of killing the kid….ooops.. I mean pro-choice.

    If I was talking face to face with someone who REALLY knew about politics, government, and foreign policy I wouldn’t even open my mouth, but because it’s the internernet and this is a celebrity gossip blog all I gotta do is read a little CNN and Wikipedia and I can pretend like I’m educated. Hooray… Oh, I should throw in a couple of big SAT words like… esoteric and perspicacious so people will think that I’m really smart….hold on let me look them up to make sure I’m using them right.

    I will come back to this thread repeatedly every 2 minutes to see if anyone has actually read the long-winded bullshit that I have posted and posted their own comments in agreement and appreciation of me.

    ……….Aaaaaannnnnndddddd go:

  • Since the bail out—er rescue plan I’m voting for Mickey Mouse.

    I can’t wait to see the debate though.

  • She’s so woefully unprepared to hold a major office – she’s a poorly educated, provincial governor who isn’t doing well in her home state because she’s mired in scandals.

    Palin has very strange religious beliefs. It makes me nervous that she would be in a position to foist her strange views on the rest of us who don’t fall on the ground writhing and speaking in tongues –

    Sorry but her inexperience is enough, and really she has a retarded child, a girl who clearly used the State of Alaska’s sex education of abstinence only sex education her mother instituted. Not. She can’t control or effectively handle her drug using son, a pregnant daughter, a husband with a drinking problem and a baby with issues that need to be dealt with. Stay home Sarah, clean up your own messy life before you make ours worse.

  • lovely.
    she’s been over coached.
    WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT.
    she doesn’t know.
    SHE DOESN’T KNOW.

    i am stunned into near silence WHY people want sarah palin AS THE VICE-PRESIDENT.

  • When she doesn’t know the answers she tries to bullshit her way out of it. If you can’t dazzle ’em with brilliance baffle ’em with bullshit. She is so way out of her league.

    I hope the women of America don’t vote for her just because Hillary didn’t win and they want a womsn. Please ladies, we need a leader who is qualified to occupy this very important office. Let’s not elect a Vice President who could GASP become President based on gender or her stylish glasses, hair etc.

  • She makes my brain hurt.

    I’m still waiting for John McCain to say, “Just kidding!” and take it back. I actually have always had a rather good impression of him and think he’s got some good qualities and shows some promise, but she makes my skin crawl and unfortunately cancels out what I liked about him. She’s like the female W…can’t even bullsh*t properly, which ought to be second nature by this point in a political career.

    I don’t really like Obama that much either, for the record. He reminds me of when I was a kid and went fishing and my fish flopped in the bottom of the boat and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t pick it up. I can’t get any kind of real grip on what he’s going to do/not do. Except, this just in, he’s all for change. Duly noted.

  • Isn’t she able to answer any question that she hasn’t been briefed on? The debate should be a real comedy tonight. Americans, wake up and realize that this woman could be president. She can’t even talk her way out of a paper bag!

  • I cannot even comment. If only she had the the guts to keep her mouth shut to. Confuscious (sp?) supposed said: Better to be though a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt. We just watched that in action. Dear God tonight is going to be hilarious. Norm, I’m with you. God forbid she win office, out of the country I go. I could definitely do my job in Europe somewhere.

  • Norman, I couldn’t have said it better. And TSS? I’m confused…what’s your point? And what’s the “internernet”? (Hoping for a response in two minutes…)

  • O MY GAWD. TSS you always make me laugh till i pee my pants. thank you so much for not bein a dayum stick in the mud and having a sense of humor. i love you forever and ever

  • The ability she has to answer a question – without actually answering it is pretty incredibly. It amuses me to see her try to talk er way out of it. That stupid, ignorant woman.
    Joe Biden on the other hand seems as though he’s got his stuff down and knows what he’s talking about. Yay for Obama/Biden.

    Can’t wait to see the outcome of the debate tonight! It sucks to live in Denmark, it’ll be aired in the middle of the night here, so I’ll have to wait ’till tomorrow.

    Hopefully America will once again see Palin’s true colours, she should not be let anywhere near the white house..

  • Seriously….seriously?
    Where are all the Sarah Palin (John McCain) supporters? How come nobody has written on here with a defense of this interview?
    I guess because it is so ridiculous it is indefensible.

  • Becky:
    I’ll say something to defend her.

    I give her kudos for knowing where Canada and Russia were in relation to Alaska.

  • Hey, don’t be surprised if she makes a decent showing tonight. I predict she will “debate” McCain style, i.e., delivering a series of prememorized vignettes (written by Bush’s, oops, McCain’s speech writers) and corny stories regardless of the questions, issues, or context.
