GOOD NEWS FOR YOUR SARAH PALIN: Alaskan nitwit’s dismal interview with Katie Couric maybe wasn’t noticed by many, because of McCain’s dumb muppet stunt and the, uh, New Great Depression. Ha ha, not really, the whole world watched it on YouTube. [LA Times]
He can keep ruining G8 economies, one per week up until election week, when he can finish off two at once to really keep people preoccupied… That’ll keep people from realizing what an ass he is and what a complete psycho moron he picked for Veep.
You guys don’t understand. She’s like Obi Wan Kenobi. Every terminal, career ending, fuckup only makes her stronger.
“Nitwit’, in what respect Charlie?
Fun new Bible Spice fact. In addition to there being an investigation of the strongarm, witness-bullying in Troopergate, Grampy’s handlers got her a 4-day extension on filing her personal finance disclosures. New date? October 4. Hmmm. Isn’t there something big scheduled for October 2? Oh, RIGHT. Our chance to ask her questions! In a debate! About whether or not her state reimbursements for shlepping her family around were claimed as income and stuff.

Serolf Divad: win
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Goddammit… fuck you Caribou Barbie!
Cogito Ergo Bibo:
You know, she’s not rich. Can you imagine what level of nastiness is in her personal finances if they’re hiding it? Maybe when she writes checks, she includes notes on the memo lines like “to ruin opponent’s life”.
Am I the only one who felt sorry for the poor woman? I think they put her in a bad place and she was too ambitious to realize she was not prepared. It was too painful to watch – just think, she couldn’t handle freaking Katie.
In this new light, I am beginning to think of fucking her husband’s business partner as a resume building experience.
Look, aw dun care if she don’t know nuthin bout no economy, she shoots guns an’ talks like me an’ understands small towns, an’ if there’s one thing tha white house needs, it’s MAH KINDA PEOPLE
Juan McMaverick: “Dangerously incompetent” in what respect, Charlie?
Terry: grendel: I’m thinking she writes off her pedicures as business expenses. Especially heinous since you just know she ain’t wearin’ open toe shoes in Alaska.
Dreamer:
Don’t be, it’ll pass. I feel embarassed for the GOP & America in general.
Dreamer: Am I the only one who felt sorry for the poor woman?
Uh, yeah.
Dreamer: Correct. Hanging her out to dry and ironically keeping her hermetically sealed only helps them! Making people feel sorry for her works for the target demographic in swing states. And it pisses off all of us libtards. See how her inanity is plastered everywhere this morning. Oh…poor, poor Sarah. When oh when will those evil MSM types stop picking on her. Obviously they are all in the tank.
I wish I didn’t think the antidote would be Barry topping the conversation with: “Sir you must stop this charade.”
surely the GOP plans to force gitmo detainees to listen to the Couric/Palin 3rd grade mumbo jumbo repeatedly, in the interest of national security, charlie
Uncle Al: agreed.
Least she’ll have her shotgun ready when Putin rears his ugly head and belches all across the Bering Strait
I wonder why she hasn’t done El Rushbo? Is it so bad that any unscripted exposure is dangerous? (and does it mean that hannity is the default Republican powder puff?)
Man, she’s gone from GILF to GIL to tell to STFU (GILTSTFU) wit’ a quickness.
The random “constitution voter” that popped up on this page looks like he’s giving a look of mild disgust at the Palin monster to his right
Cogito Ergo Bibo:
There are reports coming out that she’s accepted quite a few gifts as governor. I’m starting to think she and Kwame Kilpatrick had a LOT more in common than might first be obvious.
Dumber than a bag of hammers.
Can’t remember who said it first, but damn, it fits.
Hey: when Sarah Palin gets her starring role in NBC’s new sitcom, I’m just going to laugh at all of you NON-BELIEVERZ.
William Katt, you’d better watch your back.
Terry: But she’s giving the dirty Stevens money to charity. All $1K of it! Isn’t that enough?!
Just kidding. I could use $25K in gifts. Guess I should run for office.
erymanthian bore: No, didn’t you know the Rooskies are invading Alaska like EVERY DAY and she’s out there leading the brave men and women of Alaska’s National Guard in defending our great nation? It’s like the final battle in “Independence Day” EVERY DAY up there in Alaska.
They’re still getting their feel for how far they can push her on the Interview Toughness Scale. They need to push it far enough so they don’t get accused of giving her puffball partisan work, but rear her back a bit before the water gets too deep out in serious-question-land. She got destroyed by Katie Couric, who I’d put as a 3 on the scale. They can pull her back to a 2, a radio conservative or a Billo, or just abandon ship and pull her back to a 1, a Hannity. If they really want to test her, God forbid, they’ll push her into the 6.0 Chris Matthews territory, or the unwinnable 9.0 Colbert/Stewart zone.
Terry: She’s black too!?! That’s not racial transcendence I can believe in!
Delicious: This is not meant to inflate Rushbo, but Hannity is her intellectual equal.
charrington: Why all hate directed at bags of hammers?
That’s it. I can no longer allow this dimwitted hosebag to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids.
was that 5 colleges or 6? who needs a passport when you already have thaat much edumacation?
grendel: And Putin does flyovers, airdropping bales of foreign policy knowledge!
The VP debate should be interesting. I hope she does not get raptured before then.
WadISay: I’d give my left nut to see a last minute swapout of Biden leaving us with Hillary vs Caribou Barbie. Now that’s entertainment!
…holy fuck my eyes are tracking in 2 different directions, this woman certainly staying the course. …I guess I underestimated how serious they were about making Obama… no scratch that, my 6 year old nephew, look like an elitist.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Not only that — their excuse is that the campaign’s lawyer got the date wrong:
Trevor Potter, general counsel for the McCain-Palin campaign, told the FEC that the campaign initially thought it had until Oct. 4 to file the report but then learned the FEC set an earlier due date.
No wonder they think McCain won the debate already.
Serolf Divad: I thought that was palpatine.
SayItWithWookies: Yeah. Saw that. Particularly rich, that excuse. And, please. How hard is this? I know where my tax returns are. I think most Americans could lay hands on their own returns in under a day. I guess scrubbing the dirty stuff out of them takes time.
Palin’s pick is simply one of the most incredibly stupid political choices in ages. Just plain stupid. She is unqualified to be vice president and she should never, ever, under any circumstance, hold the office of President of the United States. She has no literal experience, knowledge or understanding or insight of the economy, economic issues, finance, international or national finance or economics, defense, the military, trade, commerce, labor, justice, law enforcement, intelligence, science, research, health, health care, the homeless, scientific research, health care for the elderly, health care issues, energy, energy policy, agriculture, farming, real estate, stocks and bond, securities trading, consumer issues, or a host of other important national and international issues. She should not be on the ticket, and she should not be holding any serious, important national or international political offices–and that includes governor of Alaska. She is simply the wrong person for this country for a national political office. That’s all there is to it.
Dreamer: I kinda think the same. she should have just said no. she might have been a force within the GOP in 4 years, but these interviews are disasters. Couric and Gibson are too tough? JFC, she is in over her head and with McCain busy going crazy, the whole campaign looks pathetic. Of course, maybe everything will collapse before there is even an election.
Comedy Gold!!! From Sullivan Palin: Kissinger Is Naive. I’ve thought a lot of things about Dr Strangl … Kissinger, oddly “naive” never was one of them.
I honestly think Palin would be better off just diving into the bushes any time she sees a reporter. Or when they start asking questions, just plug her fingers in her ears, start screaming “LALALALA I can’t hear you”, and not stop until the disgusted press corps leaves. It can’t be any worse of a strategy than this.

Sarah BoBeara should not ever mention the word “airspace” - it’s too closely related to the root word “airhead.”
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Ha ha, you think we get to ask Caribou Barbie the questions? No, it’ll be some self-important MSM (or PBS) gasbag who wants to sound “knowledgable” and “unbiased.”
1. What is your favorite color?
2. Do you think you’re ready to be vice president?
3. List the three most important things voters should know about you?
4. Do I have any integrity at all?
OK guys so I am a softy. I still think the whole McCain campaign is a disaster and without this shitty culture war no one would vote for him. He sounds half of the time drugged and I do not get this charm and maverick attitude that attracted reporters on the first place. He sounds and acts like my crazy great uncle - who I would never ask America to elect him. His choice of Sarah Palin speaks volumes about his craven desire to be president.
Having said that I still feel sorry for her on some level not because people are picking on her but because of the position she put herself in. I think she rose in the Alaska politics so fast that she developed a sense of inevitability – maybe that crazy witch obsessed preacher told her she can perform miracles. I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. It was too painful. If I were an Alaskan I would be mortified and would start immediately a recal or impeachment based on crimes of making the state a world class laughing stock.
If YouTube didn’t exist it would have to be created just for her. So many YouTube moments, so little time.
Serolf Divad: Oh my gawd! Sarah Palin is a Super Saiyan.
Sarah - we believe her to be sincere. We just don’t think she is correct.
Personally, I for one am grateful that she is on the front line taking out Russian Bombers with her shotgun.
Which is from the potential Vice President, and which is from Miss Teen South Carolina:
That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, we’re ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh — it’s got to be all about job creation too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, 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 of those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh…people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and…I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., err, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our.

I hope that she keeps doing interview, if only for the entertainment value.

Sarah Palin’s interview performances show the value of a Yale education. “Cuz that’s what George Bush would have sounded like without his.
