I know diaries are supposed to be more than this but the video stands on it's own.
Edit:
I have more to add now after watching the interview again. Look at the interview, she is looking at notes and reading her prepared talking points.
Open in case of emergency!
Lower Taxes
Health Care Reform
Main Street America
Pro-Growth
Middle Class
Reign in spending
Free Trade is good, not scary, 1 in 5 jobs
Jobs Creation
Shore up our economy
She was so lost she just started reading the highlights of her talking points.
I hadn't listened to the Couric interview before. When it started, I was cringing. By the time it was of I was ROTFLMAO. Unbelievable, even by wingnut standards.
"Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, to demonstrate that he or she knows what they're (sic) talking about .... stock market crash, Franklin Roosevelt got on television and didn't just talk about, you know, the princes of greed, he said, "Look, here's what happened..."
between verbal gaffes, and ignorance. Palin isn't stupid, but she's ignorant of what she needs to know to be President, and the same cannot be said of Biden. Your comparison is a joke.
Just ignorant? How about earth-shatteringly CLUELESS? Just how OBLIVIOUS of current day events - like the global economy caving in around you - does one have to be to not even have an OPINION on your own team's Wall St. bailout plan?
And just how stupid does she regard everyone else, to pass off being "neighbors" with Russia as equivalent to possessing foreign policy experience? And here I was thinking that the Republicans pretty much bottomed out when they brought us Dan Quayle. Did they save the best for last, or what?
I'd love to know exactly WHAT she did to win over the average Alaskan? (And given their gubernatorial choice, I'm being VERY generous with the term "average") Or are they so women-starved in those frontier lands that they'd vote for anything in a skirt?
Out of possibly ten or twebty thousand times that Biden has spoken with the media or constituents he slips and says television instead of radio. Percentage wise Palin has a track record that makes me feel like a genius. You must be feeling like God herself.
There's the incident where he told the story of being "forced down" in Afghanistan but emmitted the facted that he was "forced down" due to a snow storm.
The problem with your comparison, of course, is that Palin is actually trying to justify (or maybe invent) her position on a piece of legislation that will affect millions of Americans, whereas Biden's departure into fantasy is harmless. But keep spinning.
I'll take your word for it because you really haven't written anything radical that I can recall. In reference to being a Democrat; I've been a registered Democrat all my life and an independent thinker for the same amount of time. I can also say that I'm fine with you and others having doubts about where I stand with the Democratic party because I'm really not sure at this point but still feel that I lean more Democrat than republican. I've never voted for a Republican btw. What's important to me is what's best for the country. Recently, I've become extremely disappointed in both parties.
I choose A...."better than the rest of us" Thanks for noticing.
In reference to imagining that you're shallow; not really, I just see you as hypocrites. You flip at the drop of a hat if you see a issue/situation politically beneficial to Obama.
I don't think the Palin problem is fixable. She is who she is: an unqualified fundamentalist liar with no knowledge of or experience in national domestic or foreign policy. And McCain had absolutely no idea who she was when he picked her.
