WHOOPSIE! Palin loses to Temple grad student (LOL)


A Temple grad student managed to pry a gaffe out of her as she waited for her Philly steak. From CNN:

"So we do cross border, like from Afghanistan to Pakistan you think?" Rovito asked.

"If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin responded, before moving on to greet other voters.

THAT IS OBAMA'S POSTION!! :rofl:

John McCain tried his best at damage control, casting the questioner as some sort of surveillance expert, on This Week:

"She would not...she understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos of Palin. "In all due respect, people going around and... sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's-that's a person's position... This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin."

1. We all must stop asking these 'trap door' questions of Governor Palin
From now on they must be submitted in writing to McCain/Palin 24 hours in advance and we must wait for the Governor to receive her 3 x 5 card with the correct response. :crazy:

3. Possible trap-door questions
What color is the sky in your world No they don't want her answering that

Tell us about the birth of your last child No the details would freak out all the "soccer moms"

How many stars are on the US flag? No that brings up the whole secessionist thing

Have you ever actually SEEN Russia? No that is too specific

President Bush great President or GREATEST President? No they want to keep her as far from him as possible-he DOES have his legacy to consider.

:bounce::evilgrin::woohoo:
