She is running for the second highest position in the world.
Most educated people know she isn’t qualified to be our president if, God forbid, something happens to John McCain.
She needs the red-neck vote. Trust me. It was all choreographed. Soon we will be hearing words like ir-regardless spurring from her well-groomed face.
Thank God the Canadian debates were actually literate and interesting! This must have been torture to the people that actually watched the VP debate.
90 minutes, and she said nothing. Absolutely nothing. She even told the moderator that she wouldn’t be answering the same question that she was asked. The thought of this woman being a malignant freckle away from the Oval Office is terrifying.
Joe Biden? Totally up to the job.
Apparently I say it wrong as well. As a matter of fact I thought she was saying it right til I looked it up. I guess some of us are dumbasses….
Or maybe we just have different ways of saying shit…
Get a life people. Is that all youve got? Bring someone down because they say something differently?
Stupid republican whore said the word “nuclear” one too many times…. I hope her and her whole fucking family are burned alive in a horrible plane crash!!!!
Who’s with me?
she is soooo stupid! thats all i got to say
uhh, she said “nucular,” not nuclear, TSS.
you should really not wish that sort of thing on people. [<–sarcasm. i get you were being sarcastic too. just thought i should explain, ’cause… you know… ::points to missing fry in happy meal::]
Did anyone else notice that she clearly didn’t know what the term “Achilles heel” meant while she was answering that question?
i don’t know how joe biden didn’t leap over his podium and beat her smug, smirking face in. when she winked into the camera i wasn’t sure if we were at a vice presidential debate or the miss alaska pageant. and!!!! she wants to top it off by expanding the veeps role. she is so superior in her attitude. she was rude in the debates even to the moderator! i’m with you tss except i’d like them to be mauled to death by the very wildlife that they shoot.
Drt, I have to disagree with you. There are many regional differences in the way Americans pronounce words, for example the words vase or roof. And there are different regional names we use for things, like faucet v. spigot, soda v. pop, bag v. sack, etc. However, there are many words, particularly scientific words, which have only ONE correct pronunciation. “Nuclear” is one of those words.
It’s okay if you used to pronounce it incorrectly. I’d be willing to bet that now that you know the correct pronunciation, you will be using the correct one from now on. Because I’m guessing that you are able to learn from mistakes, are able to incorporate new ideas into your world view, and are not wrong-headedly trying to mimic the incorrect usage of the word by arguably the worst U.S. president ever.
However, I can say none of those things about the woman we watched last night, who is running for the position of the second in command to the highest office in the country, indeed in the world. Her faulty pronunciation of nuclear is not the only thing wrong with this candidate by far, but it’s a glaring example of either her ignorance, stubbornness, adherence to old beliefs in the face of corrected information, misdirected loyalty to Bush and his pronunciation blunders, or the worst of all, all of the above.
@BettyCrockerPunkRocker: AMEN, sista!
I still want to see the tape of everytime she said “Maverick”, Soccer Mom, Hockey Momor “Drill, Baby Drill”. Does she say that to Todd every night?
Eh. People exaggerate. Biden used the word Maverick 9 to Palins 4 times. Biden used the reference mom 1 to Palins 1 time. Biden used the word Joe 7 times to Palin 3. Biden used the word six 2 to Palins 1 time. Biden used the word drill 4 to Palins 3 times. Biden used the word hockey 0 times to Palins 1. She didn’t answer questions in detail but she answered them to make a distinction between the two tickets. She had to choices take up the issue in detail or present vision for the ticket. As she is weaker in substance she chose her strength–vision. They both related really well to the average person. The standards for both were lowered. Biden because of his ability to run off and gaff and condescend. Palin with the agonizing interviews. Loved how she reused that “nonsensical” word in the debate for a position on an issue after it was used against her the day before to describe her answers. After the debate I think Obama is VP material and Biden POTUS material. VP position qualifications is being to over blown. Palin seems like a quick learner. Something Bush and a godd VP needs. She needs to focus more on detail of issues. Anyway—-if there was a word to drink to it was MCain. Palin–41 Biden–59. Obama was referd to less. And Bush even less. Beet, you don’t always have to wait for the Vids-although they are priceless. The NYT on its web site keeps an interactive transcript you can search for any word you like.
She’s such a disappointment for women who’ve struggled to get ahead…this is what we come up with? Seriously?
yes, i would love for her to be in a plane crash and be eaten by moose. and yeah – what was with the winking she was doing? it’s not a fucking beauty pagent, sarah. also, if anyone is interested in a beautiful, scathing piece on palin look in october’s rolling stone at an article by matt taibee called ‘the lies of sarah palin’
Even I can pronounce nuclear – and English isn’t even my native. A woman that doesn’t master her own native tounge should not be a heartbeat away from presidency. Just saying.
quirky- the winking thing isn’t even what you do in grown up cross-eyed flute playing beauty pageants, it’s what you do in those freaky little girl with big hair and lots of makeup beauty pageants. I still can’t get over how ridiculous that was. I mean, I also can’t get over her complete ignorance of American government, domestic and foreign policies, Supreme Court rulings about an Exxon oil spill in ALASKA, and newspapers- but that winking was really disturbing.
Youbetcha! ( I had to say that, just get it out of my mind)
you know, with everyone mispronouncing the word nuclear, i started to question myself about how it is actually supposed to be said. the mind is a terrible thing.
only you, TSS. you are a riot. Seriously. Create a website and make a ton a cash.
TSS. Maybe you should ”shock” people with your foul, predictable comments; now that would be novel.
Is it really that hard for people to pronounce the word nuclear correctly? I mean REALLY? It’s not like she’s trying to say jihad or Al-Qaeda or some other foreign word she will inevitably be using when McCain decides that he wants to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran or wherever else he wants to do his bombing…
We dont need any “folksy charm” if it has no substance. On the other hand, Joe Biden was genuine, passionate and ofcourse knowledgable,
Repiblicans, I gotta tell you–It feels GREAT to have my Vp candidate being held to a decent standard.
ughhhh she is so dummmbbb and vacuous $(#@#()*$
where is she actually getting support from!? republican supporters are a waste of oxygen, ever since george bush was appointed to office. i’d be ashamed to be a republican
Remember she is a fighter and a Maverickâ„¢ for women’s issues….ya right. She will have all women wearing long dresses and wearing aprons in the kitchen before the end of her 4 year term.
Vote republican and enjoy the clock being wound back another 20 years. Enjoy your debt the neo-conservatives gifted you with.
She does not represent any well educated females that I attended school with. She is old fashioned and only a few steps away from being white trash. The women that support her are either old or ultra conservative. She needs to just go away and stick to small town politics. Women today are well educated enough to know a fool when they see one. She does not represent the new working class woman with family values. she is like a cute dog with scabies.
She is running for the second highest position in the world.
