Sarah Palin’s back on the teevee, with Katie Couric. “COURIC, MY NEMESIS, WE MEET AGAIN,” Palin doesn’t say. Oh now look, though — who’s that old toot sitting next to her? Why it’s her beloved “running mate,” John McCain. Talk about bringing in the cavalry! Anyway, we’ve read the transcript of this interview and it makes absolutely no sense at all.
WALNUTS! just interrupts everyone all the time to rant about “gotcha journalism.” For example, what does any of this mean? “John McCain: Of course not. But, look, I understand this day and age of ‘gotcha’ journalism. Is that a pizza place? In a conversation with someone who you didn’t hear… the question very well, you don’t know the context of the conversation, grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don’t announce that you’re going to attack another country…” WHY DOES HE TALK ABOUT THE PIZZA??
[CBS News]
Awww grand dada is there to helps you nows? YOU SO CUUUTTTE Sarah.
Pizza and cougars in the same interview are enough to lock up a lot of swing voters.
Couric: Is that something you shouldn’t say out loud, Senator McCain?
Ha ha. Gotcha, indeed. Couric’s star rises again.
Isn’t that sweet Sarah, you brought gramps to make sure Katie doesn’t give you another intellectual wedgie.
Feeb and Feebler.
Why won’t Barak Obama allow himself to be taped maundering helplessly? WHAT IS HE HIDING?
shortsshortsshorts: She tried to handew da big mean reporta before on her own, but the reporta was so mean and she kept asking qwestions that she made Sawah cwy…
This train wreck fills me with glee. GLEE!
WTF was that drivel. I read it backwards just to ensure CBS hadn’t fucked up the transcription.
I think I also lost the ability to chew after reading the stupidness.
Pizza=cheese steak joint where Palin got in troubles for talking about Pakistan wrong.
I get what he’s trying to say, but dude, his old man rambles are disturbing! He can’t even form a clear sentence or argument about what he is trying to say. . .
Ask Sarah why the one and only Alaska Congressman Republican Don Young (who share’s a maritime border with Russia) voted against the bailout plan that WALNUTS personally rescued while his prez campaign was suspended?
Welcome back to the campaign! How did that other thing work out?
Walnuts is thinking, “i’d like to hit that!”
He got that new-fangled Italian exotic dish confused with the other wild teen taste sensation, the cheesesteak. That’s all. Hey, is that a malt shop on the corner?
Soulmates with Histrionic Personality Disorder
talk about your dysfunctional relationship
Honestly, reading anything she says makes my brain hurt. I can’t understand it, then I read it again and I feel stupid because I can’t make sense of what she’s saying, and then I read it a 3rd time and I can feel bits of my brain melting.
Such as.
can’t wait for CBS to release the piece where she is asked about Supreme Court cases and she can ONLY name Roe v. Wade. Walnuts is scrambling to get it burned right now
Is gotcha journalism anything like when reporters ask you questions, and then your answers reveal that you’re in way over your head and drowning in dumb? Yeah, gotcha. I suppose that we should elect her by default RIGHT NOW because that shit is just not fair…
Wonkette:
By showing this story, you are clearly demonstrating your servile water-carrying for Obama. Clearly, you are only interested in showing John McCain in the worst possible light, by…calling attention to his most recent network news appearance.

But if he should die and she becomes president and is forced to have an awkward conversation with someone, who will be there to help her? Or will the ghost of John McCain follow her around all young and handsome in Jedi robes like at the end of Return of the Jedi when Luke is lighting his father’s corpse on fire during the Ewok orgy?
Every time Sarah Palin, or McCain for that matter, opens her/his mouth, I worry that I’m having a schizoid episode or something because I understand the words by themselves, but when they put them together, they just sound like a completely foreign language. For my own sanity, if for no other reason, I can’t wait for November 5 when these two can shut the hell up.
I can’t understand what the idea here was.
Was it “Well Sarah looked incompetent in her last Couric interview, so let’s do another one to get a few more terrible sound bites to dominate the news for this week too. Only let’s also undermine her even further by making McCain hold her hand and speak for her half the time.”?
Was it “Hey Katie Couric did a great job making the bottom half of our ticket look foolish last week, let’s have her do the same to BOTH candidates at the same time!”?
I just… what were they trying to DO here?
For fuck’s sake…
Couric: It wasn’t a “gotcha.” She was talking to a voter.
McCain: No, she was in a conversation with a group of people and talking back and forth. And … I’ll let Gov. Palin speak for herself.
Palin: Well, it … in fact, you’re absolutely right on. In the context, this was a voter, a constituent, hollering out a question from across an area asking, “What are you gonna do about Pakistan? You better have an answer to Pakistan.” I said we’re gonna do what we have to do to protect the United States of America.
Thanks for letting Jesus Spice speak for herself, WALNUTS!. You’re a class guy. And what the hell is “in the context, this was a voter” supposed to mean? Finally, you have to love WALNUTS!’ talk about how he has seen “governors being questioned by some quote, “expert.”" If chatting with Katie Couric equates being grilled by experts, he has set the bar really low.
Ha ha, he used Reagan and Clinton as examples of “cowboy” governors that the media said couldn’t be president, but he left out the one that, like, happened during the last within the last 12 years…why is that?
You Washington elitists are so out of it. Gotcha Pizza is huge here in heartland America. In fact, go to some neighborhood in DC (or Maryland if you have to) where hard working, white Americans live, and you’ll undoubtedly find an outlet.
Why does McCain hate Italians?
oh my god, I quit life.
Daddy’s here now pumpkin. Tell the nice people what daddy told you.
Ready on Day One….to be thoroughly supervised.
Where’s the video where Couric asks Bible Spice to name some important Supreme Court decisions & she can only name Roe vs. Wade & the rest of the time is spent in awkward silence? I want to see that really bad.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0908/In_reintroduction_Palin_to_do_more_interviews_and_tell_her_story.html?showall
“After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases.
There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.”
We can has Mittens now?
Joey Ratz: Oh the bar is so low in Ameruhka these days you’ll trip over it if you aren’t careful.
“Why would we elect a preznit named BAR-ACK HUUU-SAYN O-BAMMA, when we are at war with the A-RABS!?!”
I hope Tina Fey’s already cleared her calendar for next Saturday night because she’s going to be very, very busy.
It’s very important to Walnuts! to make Palin look qualified. He needs her to get into the oval office. Once he’s president he’s kicking that bitch to the curb. He wanted to pick Lieberman so they could have hot geriatric male on male action in the White House. That’s why he has Mark Buse around. You don’t think Walnuts! would have picked the haute cuisine of CityZen Saturday night without the help of a veteran Gay, do you? Buse told him all of the most romantic DC cruising spots. He even coached Walnuts! on how to seal the deal.
I hear Walnuts! and Lieberman bought matching his and his leather chaps and assless pants.
The only way Palin could convince them to keep her on is if she played dominatrix hag for the two of them.
This is getting into NC-17 territory…
Fuck, We’re doomed. That tears it, I’m selling everything and moving to Pitcairn Island.
I’m SO glad McGrampy explained what Boots was RILLY trying to say. At teh pizza place. In the South End of Philadlephia
Dano:
I’ll be living on top of Manhattan Chase with the Halloween Jack.
Sorry, WALNUTS! but with Caribou Barbie “please locate the United States of America on a map” is “Gotcha” Journalism.
Joey Ratz: I guess any conversation in which you are talking loudly and “back and forth” is off limits and is not subject to traditional standards of oversight. Thank god. I will mention this to my wife and explain that I only solicited sex from the stripper because we were talking loudly and back and forth at each other across the strip club floor.
Gopherit v2.0: and daddy i be a good girl….dontcha think?….i mean, i try so hard…
I wasn’t aware it was “Bring your crypt keeper to work” day.
The video of this is worse than the transcript.
Daddy Walnuts! is in pure damage control mode and Palin is all hunched forward, earnestly repeating his words.
I hate these people.
Palin will be sitting on McCain’s lap during the entire VP debate to avoid just this kind of ‘gotcha’ journalism.
McCain’s thought bubble, “We nailed it this time!”
OMG. You lot must be soooo terrified of Palin. Tell me please, tell me that you are still lovin the HopeyChangy shit because THAT has turned so many of your brains into mush that it is hard to find a Democrat that can finish a sentence anymore. In all likelyhood, you nuancing dems will be still stoned and figuring that Palin is running for the PRESIDENCY you’ll vote in Joe Who by mistake and will wander off into the nearest bar for a beer and a toke congratulating yourselves on a big win over the Palin factor while the Republicans scoop you again. WRITE THIS DOWN. Palin. Running for VP. Obama,(bigest FOREIGN POLICY FRAUD in history) HE’S running for President. Just ask Michelle.
anabellum: You think McDaddy will be there at the debate, too? You know, in case she gets scared? Or that mean old Biden plays “Gotcha” with “facts”?
LOST TRANSCRIPT:
WALNUTS: “My”
Sarah: “My”
WALNUTS: “Name”
Sarah: “Name”
WALNUTS: “Is”
Sarah: “Is”
WALNUTS: “Sarah”
Sarah: “Sarah”
WALNUTS: “Palin”
Sarah: “Pawwin, dag nabbit I knew Ied screw up somewaaare”
Scarab: Damn, beat me to it.
Gopherit v2.0: Daddy said we can de-feet the tewwowists!
OMG, I thought that the above quote the Wonkette posted was a joke. I… speechless.
Clearly this was filmed during his dissing of the Letterman Show. While his campaign was suspended.
Dave will have a field day with this.
dano: Say hi to Amelia for me.
I’m not making this up. . . Back in High School someone said to me “the problem with girls from Wasilla is that you can’t tell when they’re drunk”
Gopherit v2.0: that depends on what daddy thinks …doesnt it?…
Obamanot: uh huh…
Obamanot: Governor Palin… is that you?
Obamanot: OMG! And don’t forget that Obama is a half-bred Muslin, Morans!
MarSF: That’s probably better spelling than we’re going to get out of this one. Pass the bong, will ya?
Obamanot: Shouldn’t you be testifying, Todd?
My grandmother talked about refried beans a lot right before she went completely senile.
Here is the cheesesteak video from CNN:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf6KVLIkVK4
BTW, the voter is a grad student. LOLz.
Wow, I can’t believe they let Failin’ talk to the press again.
Oh fuck me.
And I don’t mean that in the good way, either.
mullingitover: They didn’t. Watch the video. You can see McDaddy’s lips move.
How he put his hand up her ass is another question.
Poor JoeBee is gonna think he’s having another aneurysm after he listens to Glasses’s responses on Thursday.
I wish there was an online equivalent of an In-Flight barf bag.
Texan Bulldoggette: Beat me to it, so let me get all Wittgenstein on your ass:
“Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen.”
So there.
professor.cj: Note the “The Decemberist” t-shirt the girl posing for the pic is wearing. Wonder if they’re due to open for the debate on Thursday?
They chose Katie because she is about as lightweight a journalist as they could find, and Palin cannot even handle that simple interview. I mean, these were NOT hard questions. Now they will go the rightwing talkshow route, trolling for more softball q-and-a.
Anybody who would like to have Caribou Barbie in the White House as President of the United States is nuttier than she is. This is getting reeeeeeeeeal scary. They live among us.
I wonder if she’s going to be protected like this from here on in… Walnuts will accompany her everywhere– interviews, photo-ops, campaign rallies, toilets. She will begin to look like she has a second old-man head growing out of her right shoulder.
Obamanot: That’s quite the tirade. It still doesn’t change that fact that Palin isn’t fit to be president. Ya see, that’s the whole point of the V.P. slot, the Vice President takes over if the elderly president who won’t release his medical records dies in office. That’s why Palin is getting this much scrutiny and criticism.
Of course, the McCain campaign has been remarkably effective in taking the focus off Barry. I honestly could not tell you a single thing that he’s said in the last month.
Here’s a few worries. All the Tina Fey, Katie Couric business just builds sympathy for poor ol’ Sarah. Looks like she’s being picked on, has to bring her dad with her to an interview with CBS. She is pathetic. He is pathetic. Hopey did need to be stronger in the debate and on the bailout, but everyone’s gotta get motivated to ensure Grampy and the Governor don’t get elected. Word to the wise: Biden’s gonna have to watch out Thursday night. There are more traps for him than her. His verbosity could screw this up royally.
Obamanot: Your party has screwed our country up so profoundly — how are any of you qualified to judge who is a fraud? How can you even live with yourself knowing you support a party who has elevated incompetence to a new plateau? If you think Palin isn’t completely out of her element and Walnuts has the temperament to be president — you may be the one with brains of mush.
Oh wow. I just read the transcript (couldn’t bring myself to listen to that shrewish voice) and it is staggering that these two can even function at all.
Obamanot:
Tell me more about the brilliance of Sarah Palin. Especially her expertise in Foreign Policy and economics. I feel so ashamed that I hate her for her brilliance and mocking her.
BTW what is the color of the sky in your world?
Lifeline?
Obamanot: Idk wtf you’re talking about, we are all voting for Nader here. Wonkette is Nader territory, tell em Vigilante.
I still think there is a Charlie McCarthy ventriloquist act just waitin’ to happen. Hmm..the Sarah McCarthy dummy/doll? Walnuts gets wood?
Obamanot: Ken, is that you? Are running a diagnostic of the commenters?
What a Neo-con says: “Obama is a foreign policy fraud”
What a Neo-con means: “Obama might be reluctant to kill the brown people for no reason”
Obamanot: Joe Who? I’m sorry, I’m too drunk to understand this post.
That’ll learn me to trade my Petite Sirah for Cold Duck (damn you, hobo wine).
Obamanot: Is this like an astronaut, but for the series of tubes?
Obamanot: OMG perhaps you shouldn’t down like 5 or 6 straight shots of OLD WINGNUT and then try to write a post! It comes out, you know, all incoherent and sloppy and just a tad ANGRY, and you end up puking up con talking points and generally making a mess out of things. (Hey wait, I know that was Boehner, right?)
Obamanot: Congratulations on your successful copy/paste of that Little Green Footballs post!
Now DIAF
Obamanot: The most comforting thing is that tomorrow your mutual fund will empty out (Sept. 30 is one of the four days in the year that those funds have to be opened for withdrawl) and you will not only be morally bankrupt but actually bankrupt. Enjoy wearing your sandwich board to the polls to pull the straight R lever. I actually believe it’s the GOP whose minds are now mush — they led us down this deregulatory path that has led to ruin for many folks. If Ken Lay hadn’t died, I’d have been in line to burn him with a matchstick while he was strapped to a wagon wheel. Maybe I’ll get my chance with John Thain as he escapes from Merrill…
Obamanot: Okay, wait. Someone that can’t even spell “likelihood” and buys into the whole “Democrats are irresponsible drunks/druggies” meme is trying to school US on how to form coherent thoughts? Fuck. Off. You’ve got some fucking nerve trying to tell anyone which way is up when your entire post is incoherent nonsense of the second grade (grammar) variety. How did your Republican “scoop” work out for you last time? You must be the lone idiot McCain was talking about when he said we’re better off now than before. You’re damn right I am afraid of Sarah Palin. That moron wouldn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground. I have zero life experience under my belt, but I know more about how the world works than Sarah fucking Palin.
How about your spend your internets time relearning basic grammar and spelling? I’ll donate some money for books and materials. Until then, GET OFF MY WONKETTE, MOUTH BREATHER!
Delicious: It’s caled entrapment. Don’t fall for it, Shorts!
Mother mother mother. Get a grip. Do not get your panties in a knot. It is bad for your brain or is that your butt. Hard to tell.
Speaking of screwed up. The day ANY Democrat stops whining and takes responsibility for the likes of that Clinton walnut called “non conforming loans” which was incompetance at an alarming level passed off as a legacy and that other “walnut” referred to as the Democrats’ slush fund, Fannie Mae, is the day I will listen to them. Up to now it is just s bitchyness and whining. And hummmmmmmin and haaaaaaawing.
Delicious: Ken is nasty and tricksy like that.

Obamanot: I asked Michelle about it. She said, “Suck it Whitey!”
Sure, it’s short, but still much more literate than any answer Palin’s given so far.
Grandpappy McInsane:
“Grrrrr! Nobody puts baby in the corner! Two to one should even these odds. We’re getting you back on Couric, Princess.”
Princess Palin:
“Oh, Grandpappy, but I is askaird!”
Grandpappy McInsane:
“Hush pumpkin. I’ll be right close by to hold your hand and to grin and spout off BS about gotcha journalism. Just remember that magic phrase - ‘gotcha journalism’ and all will be well.”
You have got to be kidding me. Does nobody in the McCain camp understand that it is almost impossible not to see and think of Daddy and Princess going back to talk to Teacher about Princess’s failing grade? There really is no bottom to this Palin insanity, is there?
Obamanot: I’m so sick of you, shit sack. I hear this “blame Clinton” horse shit all the time from you ass hats. EVERY economic collapse has occurred under a Republican, with the exception of Carter, who was fucked over by Ford and Nixonian bullshit. PLEASE someone get this guy a dick to eat.
It was MORTGAGES from 2002 on that have fucked us. MORTGAGES. Clinton is not a MORTGAGE.
Not to harp on details, but didn’t Palin hire a CITY MANAGER because she was too inept to handle the job????
BTW, I guess poor Sarah had to bring Grandpa to help out with the big people… Will she be sitting on Grandpa’s lap during the debate.
Obamanot: It is bad for your brain or is that your butt. Hard to tell.
OMG, my daughter used to say stuff like that.
When she was five.
Come, let us ignore Obamanot. It is like arguing with an elderly brick wall (or WALNUTS) for “five and a half years, Alan.” A person who’s about to watch a Democrat win the White House says what?
Obamanot: Hemming and hawing, you dingleberry. HEMMING.
Can someone tell me why I bother?
shortsshortsshorts: Well said. Well spoken.
Obamanot: Dems and Repubs are the same then, why didn’t the repubs get rid of this bad thing you speak of while they had control for so long? Hmmmm… Maybe you’re party is more complicit than you think.
NADER/AFLECK 2008!!!
I don’t know how Jim Newell does it, day in day out, but you got to hand it to the man: he’s one hell of a funny blogger. And it seems to me he’s just getting better and better.
Now I’m going to put on my best black garbage sack and go to the local soup kitchen. Even in these difficult times, I believe in dressing for dinner.
Obamanot: “It is bad for your brain or is that your butt.”
Whoa. You must be looking for the Julia Gorin blog.
~
Obamanot: i smell a rat….or should i say, a fake troll…
please try again, maybe you can come up with something interesting if you really work at it?…
shortsshortsshorts: Did you know that the sun will become a red supergiant in about 5 billion years? Do you know why? Because Bill Clinton got sucked off by an intern in 1998.
Obamanot: Just reading your illiterate horseshit gives me a headache. And, for fuck’s sake, if you’re going to be folksy, it’s HEMMING and HAWING. Why don’t you take the first crack at personal responsibility, and admit that you cheated your way through grammar school? Anything you write makes no fucking sense, and really, if I wanted to deal with absurd amounts of incompetence,I’d ask my Republican campaign manager friend why his campaign is broke (although, in fairness, it could be because people are finally realizing Republicans are full of shit–much like yourself, now that I think about it).
By the way, ‘Tard, the little red lines under your words are your friend. It means you’re doing something WRONG. Take some “personal responsibility” and at least Google the correct spelling for your highlighted words. Fuck. Off.
wheelie: Sure, mock us from Ireland. At least you have the dole!
Obamanot: Well, I was letting them play with you for a little while because it was kind of funny. But now it is no longer funny. So, toodles.
Gotta love a Peepaw/Palin ticket.
Jim Newell: awww, ya big meanie!
Damn it Jim, I wanted him to tell us where the fuck this liberal pot smoking bar is. They get all pissy when I smoke weed at Chilis.
Godot: i think i’ve smoked enuff this eve to unnerstand it… they’re tappin into our primitive brain-parts… they’ve got some kinda family dynamic goin on… historical resonances, too… okay, is like this: we’re back on the wild frontier, he’s paterfamilias, a rancher dude probly, an she’s not his first wife (first one or two died havin babies, they always did back then)… they know a thing or two an might tell you about it, though they ain’t like them clever-speakin easterners and cain’t always say it so well, they prefer actions to words anyway… they’re hard workers, an all their frens is hard workers, too… an they’re a team, john an sarah (upstanding names from rat out o’the Bible (capital-B there, damn straight), makin a successful marriage an a big family (how many o’them they got now?)… an he looks out for the little woman, that’s why he dropped by tonight, they stick together an take car of each other… bless their hearts…
HAHA later conservatard! better luck after you go to “troll camp” which i believe is being held somewhere in sedona az
slappypaddy: Mom, get off the internets!
Jim Newell: I was JUST getting hungry, too, Jim. Le sigh.
I hope Uncle John is on hand to jump up onstage at the debate and stop Gwen Ifill “Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Before you ask her that question….!”
Gopherit v2.0: we have teh recession and teh sub-prime crisis and everything else sucky here because our entire economy was dependent on USA, and I bought my first home just 3 weeks ago so, if you will excuse me, I’m off to offer to convert to Protestantism and swear allegiance to the Queen in return for rat soup, if they still got that old deal going over here.
Jim Newell: Awww come on Jim! Obamaont had Moxie. And by that I mean a foul tasting soft drink from Maine.
Special Agent Jack Mehoff: Hey now don’t kick the dog while it’s down…
smellyal8r: Premiering this fall on CBS - “Gramps and the Governor,” a heartwarming comedy about a senile old senator and a sexy hockey mom who find themselves becoming roommates in the White House. Hilarity ensues!
I thought Gramples was going to let her run free like an unbridled caribou this week? I guess he was counting on being the hero of congress this week, so it’s more muzzle time .
Jim Newell: Hooray. It was no longer funny.
This interview failed because Barack Obama put politics ahead of country!
cal: I heard they’ll be reusing old “McMillan & Wife” scripts.
Jim Newell: HA HA! Jim Newell says toodles, bitch! Loves it!
McCain was for the media before he was against it.
Sigh…Ya know, I never thought I’d say this but I kinda miss the Paultards.
helenaHandbasket500: Cuntry First.
What. The. Fuck.
Was this real? This has to be one of those “mashups” I keep hearing about, right? Like something the kids put on their Facebooks or their MySpaces? Right?
I mean, what was that? Was that “charming” or “endearing” by any definition of the word? Does their little schtick actually work on any demographic in the country? Were they being “themselves”? Do they figure that now, because we all watch those fucking reality shows, we’ll just listen to any douchenozzle and twatwaffle they put up on the teevee? Not only that, but install said douchenozzle and twatwaffle as the rulers of the free world?
In any sane year/country/universe, an interview like this would end a campaign. Hollywood careers have ended over press junkets that were not nearly as embarrassing as this. That’s right — this was worse than TomKat at the top of their game.
But here and now, in the fucked-up post-reality we call home, this was actually the damage control.
It’s a good thing the entire western world collapsed today. From what I can see, it wasn’t going to last much longer anyway.
Just the fact that she needs “daddy” with her will continue to cost them votes. We should all remember, based on the initial popularity Palin had, is that image matters.
Remember the old skit - “Better to look good than feel good”. They will lose big time because as the polls turn worse their actions and images will get more desperate. Those undecided voters, the ones having trouble with a negro, will come around and this won’t be a close election.
By the enjoy, hope everyone is enjoying having their stocks lower today than when W became CEO.
Special Agent Jack Mehoff: ..and when Moosemuff gets to Sedona she can add Mexico along with Russia to her foreign policy resume, ‘cuz it’s like, right next door. And I betcha Todds gonna take a little clandestine trip across the border to score some weed..study time!…brownies for everyone…mmmm
MarSF: Daddy Walnuts and Little orphan annie want to sing us a song!
Wouldn’t ya just love to get a hold of some bootleg footage of Snowbilly at WALNUTS Debate Camp????
After they lose and Palin doesn’t have secret service, I’m going to find a way to give her a gotcha. It would be worth 3 months in the hoosegow…I could probably avoid being ganged in the big house if I let everyone else sniff the lucky finger….don’t mind me, I’m having a Republican moment…maundering like a mofo!
StrangelyBrown: Remember, this is all about getting the phrase “gotcha journalism” out there. Tomorrow, every right-leaning pundit will be saying that every five minutes or so. The party faithful will be reminded of things they had to put up growing up, such as “gotcha education” (where their librul teachers dared to test them on their knowledge via final exams) and “gotcha health care” (where their doctors ask them if they actually exercise, at all).

I think she would have been better off using the ask the audience lifeline.
I gotcha journalism right here!
I’m trying to picture it: This voter, this constituent, is “hollering out a question from across an area.” What area? A specific _unit_ of area, like an acre or a square yard? A kind of area, like, say, a parking area? Could it be something really named an area, like Area 51? Or maybe she meant an aria and got confused — “a question like an _aria_. Sheesh. You Americans are kind of beyond dumb.
Weird… I’m going over to YouTube to watch several hours of vintage pro-wrestling interviews… gotta get a perspective on this shit…
AnnieGetYourFun: Or “gotcha nose”, right? I think more than a few Republicans are still steamed about that one.
Apologies if someone has already made this connection, but…ugh. Did they both go to the same beauty pageant school? Such as -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8g3Gb5-jaY
Quarterback: Don Young voted against the “bailout plan” because he believes in America’s children.
Rush: 7 whore diamonds for the Blazing Saddles reference.
What are the chances McCain takes Palin out for a walk in the desert over the next couple of days and there’s some sort of “accident” and Palin is never heard from again?
Apologies if someone has already made this connection, but…

NoWireHangers: “please locate the United States of America on a map” is “Gotcha” Journalism.
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us.
Dammit! I missed a new troll? Ah hell, hopefully Vigilante will be back tomorrow. I really have to give up on time with the family and focus more on Wonkette.
Hooray For Anything:
On Tina Fey’s calendar Saturday night:
Time for one of those SNL prime time specials, all-new, all Tina-as-Bible Spice–all the time.
Tina Fey is a gotcha liberal Hollywoodized leftie. It was total media bias to use Palin’s own words in quoting her. Palin is dumber than an igloo.
SayItWithWookies:
I’ll chalk it up to his advancing age, but I lurve how Walnuts! seems to have forgotten the busloads of positive media attention he got in 2000. Hell, he was still getting it this year after winning New Hampshire. If you think about it, he actually needed all the “McCain campaign is dead” stories in 2007 to make his NH comeback such a great story. His troubles at that time were really inconsequential due to the fact that everyone else was mostly focused on the pack of knobs ahead of him. Even after he became the presumptive nominee, he got a free pass for months while the Dem primary battle occupied the press. Ever since then, he’s been off-kilter, reactionary and unable to form a coherent narrative, not to mention the handful of massively stupid choices he’s made.
infowars: The modern version is “I got your bailout swingin’ and your old lady singin’.”
See? There’s a difference. You can feel it…like someone gotcha….in a good way.
Weeping Jesus: um, that seems kinda gross, though i can’t exactly tell what you’re talking about.
AnnieGetYourFun: I just checked RedState to see whether they’d jumped on that talking point yet — but no. Every single damn post on their front page is a variant of how the Democrats screwed up the bailout bill. The one they despised and railed against. I’m still trying to imagine the contortions involved in arguing both of those ideas at the same time.
McCant is such a colostomy bag. What are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?
He’s like a parent who tells the principal his kid won’t say stupid things in class anymore.
Palin misunderstood, she thought it was “Show and Tell Day” and decided to bring her Great-Great-Grandpa along to tell how he faught alongisde Teddy Roosevelt.
NYNYNY: You get the win.
maybe it’s just a viral ad for the restaurant they’re going to open in Wasilla after they lose their asses November 4: MARITIME BORDER PIZZA! WHERE A KID CAN GUARD AMERICAN FREEDOM AGAINS THE RUSSKIES!
Gopherit v2.0: Hooray For Anything:
On Tina Fey’s calendar Saturday night:
Time for one of those SNL prime time specials, all-new, all Tina-as-Bible Spice–all the time.
Watch the video and keep your eyes on McCain’s hands while Palin babbles on. Looks like he’s ripping his fingernails apart.
Well, Katie, now that you’ve given these brain stems two shots on your show, how about giving us “Sarah Palin, the outtakes”? Next time you do this, McCain will have his arm up Sarah’s kiester to the elbow, working her lips.
honore melmoth:
You know McCain was sitting there thinking “UR DOIN’ IT RONG!!1!!”
Gopherit v2.0: You think McDaddy will be there at the debate, too? You know, in case she gets scared? Or that mean old Biden plays “Gotcha” with “facts”?
I think you can count on that. Her problem with Katie is that she didn’t have her darling, look-I-didn’t-have-an-abortion baby on her lap.
How’s Joey B going to handle it when she shows up with Trigger–on the stage with her? Awkward.
And if I double submitted somewhere above, my total apologies. I’ll watch the entire Palin interview on the CBS site as penance.
Troll? There’s a new troll? Huh–nothing I noticed.
obfuscator: I’m willing to leave old age out of it and say he probably just wasn’t that bright to begin with — only it hasn’t played out on a national stage for so long and in such detail before. Besides the Keating Five thing, he claims credit for stopping the 2003 contract that was awarded to Boeing for tens of billions of dollars for new air tankers. Turns out his campaign co-chairman is working for a lobbying company for EADS, the company that actually got the successor to that contract.
The NYTimes had a huge article yesterday about McCain’s ties to gambling lobbyists — beginning with him winning thousands at a craps table on a junket a lobbyist had arranged. Uh — yeah, right.
He may be losing it as he gets older, but I think he was an idiot to begin with.
NYNYNY: Agreed, total win. Also, bonus points for bringing in the show tunes.
Did anyone else see the funny (read: make me rage funny) Ambinder post: http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/09/a_voter_asks_a_question_and_it.php
honore melmoth: He’s just twirling his wedding band again. Since it’s all the way off, I assume he’s planning on asking Sarah for the honour of her hand in marriage. Hopefully Cindy won’t mind.
Fuckin creepy if you ask me.

SayItWithWookies: None of his preferred narrative really covers his congressional career until after 2000 with the campaign finance reform, torture whatnots and the immigration bill he wrote but no longer supports.
I’m going to spend eight years with my hands over my ears, singing ‘la la la’ when she becomes president.
JohnnyMeatworth: Thanks for sharing that bootleg footage of Guv. Dum Dum cramming at Debate Camp.
NYNYNY: Fuck, I love Annie!
Holy shit, the Daily Show segment with the old Jews was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Fast Times at Walnuts House
Palin: Walnuts is gonna kick my ass
Schmidt: No dude, I can fix this, Rove used to be a TV repair man, he’s got an awesome set of tools and trucknutz.
Palin: Walnuts is gonna shit.
Schmidt: Make up your mind, is he gonna shit or is he gonna kick your ass?
Palin: First he’s gonna shit, then he’s gonna kick my ass.
Schmidt: No worries, we’ll prop Walnuts up in a chair, he can sit on a phone book, and every time Katie asks you a question he’ll answer and then you just repeat the last 4 words he says. That’s my skull, I’m so wasted.
PublicPretender: First he gonna shit, then he gonna kill us!!
This interview looks like nothing so much as Palin being called to Principal Couric’s office WITH Daddy this time, because she’s in BIG TROUBLE.
It’s kinda creepy, seeing those two next to each other.
Here’s Nancy Hossenpfeffer saying the Couric interview was an ambush, basically. The money quote: “I almost defy anyone to go back-to-back with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric.” Oh, that sure makes me feel better about how she’ll deal with the president of Togo.
http://tpmtv.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/a_series_of_trapdoor_questions.php
obfuscator: I stand corrected. Well played obfuscator, well played.
I love the way she looks at him, like he’s the bestest daddy in the whole wide world!
AnnieGetYourFun: As dumb catchphrases go, they’re probably hoping that “gotcha journalism” becomes the new “activist judges, who legislate from the bench”. I have a hard time believing that it will work - it is just too dumb right now. It will return after the debate, though, after that mean darkie Gwen Ifill brings up improbable and irrelevant topics like the economy, foreign affairs, the environment or social policy.
SayItWithWookies: I suppose that if I were a major party candidate for VP, I might make an effort to not be clueless on every subject that might be relevant to the job I’m campaigning for.
Was she REALLY not able to name a Supreme Court case beyond Roe? Oh my Jesus, she’s worse than I thought. If you can’t remember Brown v. Board of Education, you aren’t fit to be a fucking 8th grade social studies teacher.
obfuscator: Colbert just put away his Mac laptop and broke out his HOBO BINDLE.
I can’t wait until Joey B. wipes the floor with her ass. Poor Sarah will be a moose in the headlights:
Ifill: Do you support the bailout? Gov. Palin can answer this one first.
Palin: Bleepblorp, like such as the Iraq and healthcare reform, Gwen.
Ifill: I’m sorry Governor, could you repeat your answer?
Biden: Gotcha!
Smoke Filled Roommate: Is Biden’s best play to speak as little as possible and let Palin slowly destroy herself?
obfuscator: How about Bush v. Gore? Marbury v. Madison? Ali v. Frasier? She didn’t even try?
obfuscator: I kinda wonder if she didn’t bring up Brown v. Board of Education because she was against it. But that’s just random suspicion, and hell, the facts are damning enough.
Here’s the original source for the Palin Supreme Court story. But a Palin aide is the source, so who the hell knows until the video comes out (Oh please Oh please Oh please).
j6n: Kramer v. Kramer was landmark family melodrama litigation.
I loved hearing Biden on NPR talking about all the tough women senators and congresswomen he’s debated. He said he’ll treat Palin the same way he treated them. {Make your own joke here.)(No wienie jokes, though.)
SayItWithWookies: I’m not sure you’re giving her the benefit of the doubt of if I am, but I think she might actually be completely ignorant of Brown or Griswold v. Connecticut or Hamdan v. Rumsfeld or any of the other Supreme Court cases I’m marginally aware of and just Wiki’d.
obfuscator: Godzilla v. Mothra, Alien v. Predator, Jason v. Freddie…
Palin clearly hasn’t heard of Griswold or there would be several less kids with names that sound like spare parts up in caribouland Alaska.
obfuscator: I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right. She’s a small-time thinker. Hell, her first act as governor was to try to get her ex-brother-in-law fired. Who the hell knows what relative she’ll have it in for if she gets elected VP?
Sad and pathetic libtards, you require a potentail internal debate to be an affirmation of the party’s humamisn. So the presidential and vice-presidential candidates need not be precisely linked.
Yet too often in the past Republicans have seen the role of a vice-presisidential candidate as walking in lockstep with the presidential candidate rather than as an ideological compliment. Thus, contray to expectations, the value of Sarah Palin to the McCain presidential run. Yin and yang.
She appeqars, he appears. Crime?

What really gets me is this whole “You don’t ANNOUNCE that you’re gonna attack another country!” thing McCain keeps repeating. I mean, we’ve done that before, haven’t we? In that one war, which one was it? Oh yeah, it was EVERY WAR WE’VE EVER FOUGHT IN! Because we usually, you know, DECLARE WAR! Or at least have a weak little “authorization of forces” go through Congress. Like in, for example, the wars we’re fighting now! In which McCain said we should attack before we did, and then after the vote was held we all agreed that we would!
I don’t know if America has EVER just up and attacked some country we weren’t involved in a conflict with. I mean, isn’t that terrorism?
You especially don’t announce it in a pizza parlor.
That’s what I’m thinkin.
The neocons will suddenly find it in their hearts to vote for a bailout at 2:47 pm on Thursday so that Sister Sarah will be able to tout Johnny Mac’s victory over the economy during the “debate” on Thursday night: “I don’t know, like, much about _____, Gwen, but I do know that the original Maverick got it up this afternoon. And by that, Gwen, I mean the markets, to like 60 or so points higher.”
Yeah: “Dow recovers … hits 5630 in late trading.”
j6n: Or even Falwell vs. Flynt or Plessy vs. Ferguson. It’s really scary that I know how to answer these dumb ‘gotcha journalism’ questions better then Bible Spice.
Rush: GENIUS! Would you like another schnitzengruben??!!
authentic frontier gibberish!! - - This election *IS* totes Blazing Saddles!
obfuscator: lol
S.Luggo: You sound like Sarah Palin. Could you rephrase, please?
NotLaughing: If you stand on the roof of the pizza parlor you can see Russia.
obfuscator: lol
what a horrid idea to have both of them appear in the same interview. I hope Palin has that pee down the leg effect perfected by Will Ferrell.
Sussemilch: I didn’t know Russia had pizza parlors.
Godot:

The “gotcha” pizza: Ham, extra cheese and WALNUTS!
I was thinking of Palin Pizza.
Not alot on it.
Santorum is on Fox right now blathering about the Jopek bracelet. It’s amazing that he can speak so articulately with Sean Hannity’s cock in his mouth.
That would be hard.
NotLaughing: I’ll be up for another three hours trying to wash THAT out of my brain. Thanks.
Perhaps McCain was referring to the original “Gotcha Pizza” moment.
Lunchbox: Sorry. I didn’t know you
weren’t a pizza fan.
Lunchbox: Use liberal amounts of vodka as a solvent.
That picture looks exactly like proud Daddy sitting with sweetie shnookems in the principal’s office, while she explains why it was really the mean black kids who started the fight and oughter be expelled.
Excellent ventriloquism.
McCain is a repulsive piece of shit. I wouldnt be surprised karma comes back in full malignancy.
helenaHandbasket500: — It’s amazing that he can speak so articulately with Sean Hannity’s cock in his mouth. —
I believe that you meant, ” … with Sean Hannity’s quivering, pustuled, small man part thrusting, thrusting into Santorum’s principal orifice of communication, Rick’s well-lubricated poke-hole, always open for neocon business, following Milton Friedman’s personal example in soliticing major meat, at a negotiated free market price.”
But I could be wrong.
S.Luggo: Yes! Perfectly put.
Not only was Wonkette prophetic, they beat Reuters to the story:
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE48S95F20080929
It doesn’t show Palin’s question to Couric: “Will Pakistan be on Thursday’s test, Katie?”
Why is McFossil called Sarah’s “running mate” ?
The geezer can barely walk as it is, and that’s
only if it doesn’t have to be in a straight line.
Jim Newell:
Jimmy, set ‘em straight.
U.S. troops began bribing their former deadly enemies, Sunni insurgents, to cooperate. (The Sunnis had turned against al-Qaida because of its brutal tactics — a key factor in the decline of terrorist attacks in Iraq that the surge had nothing to do with.) But these Sunnis, called “the Awakening” or “Sons of Iraq,” will be off the U.S. payroll on October 1, and Rosen paints a grim picture of what is likely to happen next. “There is little doubt what will happen when the massive influx of American money stops: Unless the new Iraqi state continues to operate as a vast bribing machine, the insurgent Sunnis who have joined the new militias will likely revert to fighting the ruling Shiites, who still refuse to share power.”
Why can’t Barely O explain the surge to Johnny & Sarah Lee?
vigilante: Vig, babe, bubby, who wubs ya?
Honestly, I have no clue what all that jazz was you just wrote about Iraq, but it looks wild man, crazy. I’m tired, and it is late. We’ll do lunch.
Keep the faith. If Newell hasn’t booted you, you’re probably not satan.
I’m pulling for ya; and when the race war comes, you’re one of the people I want to have a gun. A fuckin bazooka. We can be in each other’s tanks and kill whitey all day long.
The history of today in a nutshell:
Gotcha pizza. Hurt feelings. Capitalism. Crash. Soup.
wavingnotdrowning: You forgot Paul Newman.. Tons of sick children will have to go without mediocre salad dressing.
Okay, I watched the footage. I can’t believe it, but I’m actually becoming offended on Palin’s behalf because of the shameless sexism of the McCain campaign. Sure she can’t put together a coherent sentence to save her life, but she’s not a child. McCain’s contempt for her, his refusal to let her answer a question, his insistence that he has to sit with her like a pupeteer is insulting to all working women.
But the craziest part is that he is McCain is completely incoherent too. Obama’s new slogans need to be “Vote for me because I can speak in complete sentences.” “Vote for me because I actually make sense when I talk.” “Vote for me because I don’t think women are stupid.”
SisterTruth: Palin is an insult to all women, period. I don’t really know what goes on in Alaska, but for a female to be against abortion in any case except when the “mother’s life is in danger” is creepy. Isn’t the [soon to be] mother’s life in danger when she’s being raped? We need more rape and incest babies. We need a population akin to China’s. Honestly, we need Palin to move the fuck back to Alaska and tend to her already inept children and put things on eBay and tan some more or whatever the fuck ‘governors’ do in a state with less electoral votes than fucking Rhode Island.
On another note, my Canon rebate check for my cheap printer will probably bounce..
“Norm Skalicky”? That sounds like ‘Shecky Schpilkus’..
Smoke Filled Roommate: I really suck at linking lately. Try again..
At least we know who wears the pants in the ticket or somesuch.
Moose Kukes: “Permission to speak, sir?”
McCorpse v5.5: “Granted.”
Gotcha Pizza of Victorville, CA
SisterTruth: Do you really think the American people want a president who can speak in complete sentances???
SisterTruth: Yes, yes and yes. I bet McCain lost a lot of votes from the many women who’ve had to put up with a boss like that, one who interrupted them and talked over them and generally disrespected them. Quietly, privately, a bunch of women just decided to pull the lever for Obama.
You left-wing morons can’t acknowledge one simple truth:
Sarah Palin has had some GREAT dental work.
It must drive Palin and her big balls crazy to let some old fart stand up for her.
shortsshortsshorts: I can haz WALNUTZ?
I’ve had gotcha pizza before. It’s pretty good.
“It is a … level of excitement and enthusiasm, frankly, that I haven’t seen before. And I’d like to attribute it to me.” John McCain is so cocky.
shortsshortsshorts: Every time you tell a troll to eat a dick, an angel gets its wings.
What is “Gotcha journalism”? When you lie and they “getcha”? I guess I can see why McCant and Plain loco as so scared of it.
This looks like “Bring Your Daughter to Work” day.
http://chrishowell.com/2008/09/30/palin-contradicts-mccain/
So why is Katie Couric interviewing Tina Fey again?
Quoth Glasses!: “Well, not only am I ready, but willing and able to serve as vice-president with Sen. McCain if Americans so bless us and privilege us with the opportunity of serving them, ready with my executive experience as a city mayor and manager, as a governor, as a commissioner, a regulator of oil and gas.”
The more I read of her interview responses, the more I am convinced that her debate prep consists mainly of being crammed full of talking points by Walnuts!’ handlers. She’s obviously not taking a lot of time to (or is unable to) synthesize the talking points so she can make an intelligent point.
In other words, it’s a lot like prepping for a beauty pageant, which is how we get trainwrecks like Miss Teen South Carolina. There’s really not much difference between “I believe that our, I, education like such as South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here in the US should help the U.S., should help South Africa” and “ready with my executive experience as a city mayor and manager, as a governor, as a commissioner, a regulator of oil and gas.”
Remember Jabberjaw? The shark with the tophat and the little Leo Gorcey-like fish sidekick?
“……GOTHCA!”
“..shaaaaark!!…” (bongo sounds)
I loved that show.
Even if the questions Couric originally asked were heavily edited to make Palins answers seem off… JESUS, even just taken as a stand alone statement, that shit made no sense and was as rambling and incoherent as Gary Busey
It was that same “gotcha journalism” that ended my first marriage; Goddamn daughter and her research report on the internet, snooping through web history logs asking questions like “Daddy, why are there clowns with no pants on hugging elephants?” I don’t know dear, maybe Daddy is a fucking adult and can watch what he wants in his own home!!!! Well, the wife disagreed, so now I’m crashing at my brother’s place. So I feel you McCain/Palin, I feel you…
McCain camp tries new strategy re: Palin. Result? Massive fail.
