Palin takes questions from press corps for first time

Source: (CNN)

NEW YORK (CNN) — Sarah Palin took questions from her traveling press corps Thursday for the first time since being tapped as John McCain's running mate.

Speaking to a small pool of reporters following a visit to Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, Palin made a statement and then answered four questions, addressing the war on terror, the re-election bids of Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young, and the bailout legislation currently in front of Congress.

........

POLITICO: Do you support the reelection bids of embattled Alaska Republicans, Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens?

A: Ted Stevens trial started a couple days ago. We’ll see where that goes.

POLITICO: Are you gong to vote for them?

Spoken like a trained seal.

My editor says Revlon, but I think it's definitely Loréal." :*

"Jeff Gannon, Talon News..."

It's like her first dump in the big people's potty!!

The Republicans would be farther ahead to use two stand-in mimes. :shrug:

Blue. No yel-- Auuuuuuuug.

One can wish, yes? :evilgrin:

Great reference!

:popcorn:

"provisions" are included in Paulson's proposal. He hadn't even READ it as of last night (all 3 pages of it) and had NO IDEA what is/has already been discussed in the house and yet HE knows what needs to happen. uh huh. and I'm sure SHE has no idea what McCain's 'provisions' are or what they mean. ya know, it IS possible that all those folks in the house/senate just might know a few things too. considering 1) john dosn't know shit about the economy by his own admission and 2) his advisers are the ones responsible for this mess so I'm not thinking their 'provisions' are things we want in this legislation. and they say Obama is arrogant! sheesh!

:eyes: :spray:

POLITICO: Do you think our presence in Iraq and afghan and our continued presence there is inflaming islamic extremists?

A: I think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will lead to further security of our nation, again, because the mission is to take the fight over there. do not let them come over here and attempt again what they accomplished here, and that was some destruction. terrible destruction on that day. but since September 11, Americans uniting and rebuilding and committing to never letting that happen again.

There, that's more accurate.

She sounds like a psychic using fractured, vague sentences, interspersed with irrelevant words.

"I see........man.........building..... it's my understanding ........could be the road we go on.... again McCain is Maverick

THAT would have been my first question. if anything, just to needle her. LOL

"Mrs. Palin, can you tell us why you're so awesome and perfect?"

the top brass in the McCain camp probably has the look of "oh fuck" creeping across their faces right now.

In an attempt to salvage the situation, i predict they will release this new slogan for Mrs. Palin:

"Sarah Palin: Dumb as a box of rocks, but at least she's 99 and 44/100% Witch free!!!"
