What if she does, and wins? Don't underestimate the American people, and be careful what you wish for.

Then we deserve it. Shame about the rest of the planet though when they deal with the fallout from nuking us.

We might say it was somewhat understandable for Palin then, being a remote State Governor and not being exposed to national issues...

I am we todd did

So Obama had equal if not more experience then Palin when running for President?

No but Obama's IQ is 100 points higher ;)

Is this documented? I doubt it, keep drinking the kool-aid man.

Absolutely pathetic.

lmao, that would be hilarious if Palin's book was written by a ghost writer & Palin herself had never even read it all the way through, and this was accidentally exposed on Oprah unintentionally by asking Palin a few questions about portions of the book.

Haha... Absofuckinglutely!

I can tell you Two things.

1) I won't be Buying her book -- Even if it were given to me for free I wouldn't read it, and to be honest I could care less who wrote it.

2) I won't be watching Oprah. I admit I have channel surfed a few times and by accident caught and episode half way though. But, I don't voluntarily zone into an oprah coma as my mother does. She watches all that shit.

Of course you won't, there's no point in buying a book when you can barely read, much less comprehend it.

I am sure a book her book will include "pop ups" and 20 point fonts but maybe not because it was written by a ghost writer.

Oprah to interview Palin

I know Palin is doing it to push her new book (which is at #4 on Amazon even though it's not even out yet), but I don't see much upside for her. Apart from the fact that Palin is an idiot herself, Oprah is an Obama cult follower, there's no way she's going to give Palin anything remotely resembling a fair interview. Can you say "hatchet job"?.

I do not think it will be a hatchet job. Does Oprah do hatchet jobs? Does she attack women? She has more to lose by purposely making Ms Palin look bad or even having her look bad than she could possibly gain.

Ms Palin is a woman, with children, that was the former governor of Alaska and the 2008 GOP VPOTUS candidate. Considering Ms Palin's support from the GOP base and the time she has to broaden her base, I think she could be a contender in the GOP for at least the next three federal election cycles.

For the sake of ratings, and not looking like a political hack, Oprah will do anything to avoid looking like she is attacking or setting Ms Palin up. I bet Ms Palin will be able to to approve or reject, the questions Oprah plans on asking.

I have no intention of watching this interview but I bet two beers it will not be a hammer on Palin fest.

Why is there so much more haterism directed towards Ms Palin than the other GOP headliners?

I think you're right about Oprah not wanting to start a rhubarb...but I'll bet you a beer that Palin throws out a few 'digs' and when she does...Oprah won't like that one little bit.

Well considering his educational background compared to hers I would consider it a safe bet ;)

The GOP has headliners?

Huckabee, the guy from Michigan, Crist, the guy from Louisana, etc.

I can see Ms Palin talking about how her and her family have been mistreated by the media. I do not think she will break bad because she is on Oprah to sell books and get some safe media face time.

If I were Oprah, I'd just ask Palin questions about contemporary topics that require awareness of what's going on in the world plus some thought. Then I'd let Palin embarass herself with her display of ignorance and pap.

A good one (with appropriate follow-up questions), with lots of potential for Palin's self-destruction, would be, "What was your reaction to the announcement of Ardi, the 4.4-million year old hominid fossil with amazingly human-like features?"
