----Palin---another NON answer!!!----Gads! Does this woman know ANYTHING??!!--

From tonight;

Couric: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?

Palin: Well, let's see. There's, of course in the great history of America there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but …

Couric: Can you think of any?

Palin: Well, I could think of … any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But, you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.

then McCain will have been successful in pulling off the biggest electoral prank in history.

My money's on the fact that she's a bumbling fool who can't talk her way out of a paper bag and made it to the top of Alaska politics because people were too busy staring at her ass to pay attention.

But in the end, why in the world would you risk something like that? I mean polls have a cumulative affect. If you are trying to pull off a prank in which you make your VP seem like THE most ignorant and vapid national candidate in the history of the US and then turn around and say HEY just kidding folks, see? She's actually SMART and KNOWS STUFF! Why would you even want to do that?

By the time you did your big reveal the meme of her being stupid would already be truth. That's playing with fire to play with public opinion in a general election season with a presidential ticket.

So really, I think you're right--she really IS this stupid.

I mean, I would be more inclined to believe she was some sort of idiot savant if she had stepped in it with Charlie Gibson but then improved markedly while talking with Katie Couric. But she blew the Couric interview a thousand times worse than the one with Gibson.

Why, why, why would you show her regressing if she was getting better and the meme was that she's a fucking moron? You'd want to change that, wouldn't you? Strike fear into the hearts of Democrats, breathe new life into your campaign, etc.

assuming, that is, that the questions are not softballs.

My favorite..."Oh my! Oh my! God help us!" -Magnolia.

I missed the show, so I went to look for it, but only found that....gawwdddd, what the hell is taking people so long, LOL....it was on like 15 minutes ago, and it's still not on YT, LOL....

I can't wait for it..

...and it's still more than 24 hours until the debate.

from the Palin interview. They didn't even have to write much of it! Shit writes itself. That is BAD.

she seems to have the IQ of a daisy it was pointed out that I wasn't realy being fair to daisies.

How about a tadpole ?

is in a league of her own!

Lets go for an amoeba. :rofl:

Like, say... Bush v. Gore?

Brown v. Board of Education?

Granted, I'm a lawyer, but jeez lady. I'm not running for VP.

I agree with the above poster--this may be the greatest con ever perpetrated. However, I kinda doubt it. The debate will be something to witness, if that darned Gwen Ifill can stop being a partisan!!11one!

Subject, verb, direct object, period, then pause before starting a new sentence. I don't think that's that hard. She has the Republican disease. When she doesn't know something... she talks more. Aarrgh!!

:wow:

What have the Republicans come to?

Whichever DUer came up with "word salad" to describe Palin's speaking style, I owe you.

Charlie Gibson; "blizzard of words", LOL...

really was such a soft,kind decscription. Poor Churlie. It was as if she was the patient and he was the analyst trying to make sense of it all.

It's sometimes seen in stroke victims or schizophrenics.

With Palin is pure and simple stupidity. :eyes:

abortion, but that seems to be all.

Please, please, please do this in the debate tomorrow night....

Would this choice really have been any worse?

Palin gives so few interviews and answers so few questions that by breaking it up into segments Couric is keeping her in the spotlight she would have otherwise avoided.

Brown v Board of education for school busing, and Hamdan v Rumsfeld from 06 regarding Gitmo.

that Palin was waffling on about)

And if Biden wanted to be really cheeky, he could have said, when they asked him which Supreme Court decisions he disagreed with, "Bush v. Gore."

Couric did ask her to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with. Maybe she thinks they've all been good ones, although I'd think Dred Scott v. Sandford would be an easy choice (unless she really thinks slavery should be a state's rights issue, which given her muddled reasoning may not be that far-fetched, although I think Taney's decision actually weakened State's Rights and I'm confused. See what just thinking about her does?)

I don't even insist on her knowing the names of the cases: she could have mentioned the recent ruling in favor of Exxon in the 1989 oil spill, which as governor of Alaska she said was a bad decision - less than 4 months ago.

My own choices for court rulings I think were wrong? Bush v. Gore and Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific.

(probable) she should know the names of cases that interfered with states rights.

She should also be able to name the decisions about interstate commerce. Conservatives think that has been interpreted too broadly and her comment about the states deciding reflects that. So she should know of those decisions. She may not be a lawyer, but you'd think she'd know which decisions were "wrong" in her opinion - those that declared a particular power to be within the federal government's domain.

Court rulings in tomorrow's debate? I am thinking back to her convention speech when she rattled off that list of world leaders in relation to energy, as if they were names and issues she dealt with everyday. Obviously coached.

I think the Alaskan people should recall her. She is clearly not qualified to be governor.

In fact, I doubt she could pass a US citizenship test.

This woman is as dumb as a box of rocks!

CR

I can't believe the gall of these damn Democrats. They have no shame. They're attacking Gov. Palin mercilessly. It's clearly the politics of slander! http://hubpages.com/hub/75-Sarah-Palin-Joke-One-Liner-Quotes

Maybe its the defiant and willful ignorance? The naked ambition? The smearing nastiness served with a smile? The ability to yammer through the same bullshit millions of times in a row? The way she handles a set of note cards to power her amazing repetition.

The skanky flirting? Just knowing she kills animals for fun? The warm reassurance that if your father raped your little girl that Sarah would make her to keep her baby?
