Comments on: Fail: Palin and talking (out loud) http://www.afrothought.com/politics-and-government/fail-palin-and-talking-out-loud/ The right side of the truth Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:59:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Roman Jacko http://www.afrothought.com/politics-and-government/fail-palin-and-talking-out-loud/comment-page-1/#comment-575 Roman Jacko Sun, 28 Sep 2008 23:54:12 +0000 http://www.afrothought.com/?p=447#comment-575 It's always surprising to watch people come running to this woman's defense. I think maybe two to three weeks ago, there was room to try to defend her. Pulling the sexism card out left and right and saying that "until the media can respect her, [we're gonna hide her]". This is cowardice at the highest levels (literally, we're talking about the presidency here). I'm not a John McCain fan, but he does not scare the hell outta me on the ticket. Even though I disagree w/ McCain on a lot (if not all) of his CURRENT stances on the economy, nat'l security, education, etc. He at least KNOWS what he's talking about and choses to interpret his knowledge in a way that you either agree w/ or disagree w/. I think McCain did a GREAT job against Obama in the debate. But he clearly screwed up chosing Palin. It seemed to work at first but now it's all blowing up in his face. He sold his soul for his last shot at the presidency. This woman has no clue what is going on around her and when Katie Couric stumps you...repeatedly, tha's just bad. Great job Katie, cuz she had her own rep on the line in that interview. You cannot defend this woman any more. Katie asked her and gave her one more chance to fix her Russia/Alaska proximity argument but she didn't. A gaffe is a gaffe, but this is just stupidity. sorry. I have a cat. I've played w/ dogs before. I am a veterinarian. CLASSIC. It’s always surprising to watch people come running to this woman’s defense.

Throughout more than 1/2 the skit, Tina Fey read the transcript from the actual interview word for word. I shit you not. As Cafferty said, "If that doesn't scare the hell outta you, then it should".

Potentially the first-ever female President. Sorry, ladies. (Yes, I'm apologizing for the full myriad of reasons. Let it marinate.) Sadly, all she has to do is NOT get eaten alive in her debate and she will be praised. America has lowered her bar that much. "Gov. Palin, all you need is a C- to pass..." It's a catch-22. If you "Free Palin" (as some argue) and let her interview more, she would become more adept on the public stage, but the buzz (and beer-goggles) would fade and she'd be old news. However, if you keep her hidden, more and more weight is put on the few times we do see her. Either way your left to do an intense cram session for this up-coming debate. Speaking of the debate: I'm printing my headline now. Palin pseudo-evades questions regurgitating a sparse handful of points and parrying Biden with attacks on Obama. "La-La-La-La. I'm not listening, I'm a new governor, he's a terrorist." Correction, homey. Potentially the first-ever female President. Sorry, ladies. (Yes, I’m apologizing for the full myriad of reasons.
