Whoa. Palin struggles in Couric interview

[sandorski]

I don't think she's that bad from an Intellect perspective, she just seems to not know WTF is going on. She can at least put coherent sentences together, she just doesn't know any Facts to throw in their to answer the questions. Like has already been said, In over her head.

 

[StageLeft]

She is so underprepared for this, it really is no wonder McCain has reigned in the VP debates to limit the damage.

Honestly, she would add nothing to the whitehouse, no benefit to McCain at all, she is clearly just a trophy VP aimed at vote grabbing.

She commits to absolutely nothing in this interview and equivocates on absolutely everything. She also has no actual history of McCain; she's not been paying attention. If she doesn't help lose this campaign for McCain, it's because people aren't paying attention.

I feel a bit bad for her, I get the impression that she kind of got in over her head with this whole VP thing. I don't think she had any idea what she was getting into... media scrutinizing every aspect of her life, hardball questions on the campaign trail, etc.

Not me, I want to see her ravaged. I want to see anybody incompetent for the office ravaged for their hubris; they deserve no less, for this is no game and we've seen what rife incompetence can do behind the wheel. If she is as bad as she often appears, she should be sent away crying and humiliated because the country cannot stand for another four years of this kind of silliness.

 

[Capitalizt]

horrible.. Mccain is 72 and the Presidency ages people around 3 times faster than any other job..

Can you imagine this woman as President of the United States?

Spread this video far and wide folks. Send it to REPUBLICANS. They need to know what they are voting for this year.

 

[StageLeft]

I have fox on while I workout. They are saying these were gotcha questions and couric was a bit condescending, haha, fox.

 

[Deadtrees]

She must be there to prove how general intelligence of America has gone down.
She's there to teach a lesson to the public.

That's all I can come up with to defend her.

Well, you would know...

You have to admit Palin came off poorly in that interview.....

did you watch the video, or did you just read the cliff notes? I bet I could post a link to the dancing banana singing about PB&J with a thread title about how Obama wears women's underwear and it would take about 50 posts before anyone noticed that the link had nothing to do with the title. She didn't come off bad at all on the interview. She did what any reasonable, and believable, person would do. She didn't have an answer and fessed up to it. I would rather hear that than have her lie like most politicians do. In fact, this whole thread is making a mountain out of mole hill. I don't know why this is even news.

"In latest news, Palin was overheard in the bathroom farting. It sounded like a D flat. Compare that to Obama's F sharp and we can clearly see who should be elected however, we have our analysts analyzing the sound with super sensative equipment to verify this information and will report back when we have our results."

Low expectations much?

No, she isn't retarded. She is your average American who knows little about politics. My mechanic, however, who has an interest in politics, could have answered all of Couric's questions. The problem with Palin is that she has an uncurious mind. She doesn't engage the world, but steps around its edges, while pretending to engage. She has risen so far above her level of incompetence that people are wondering if maybe they've missed a sudden turn in human evolution.

First thing that comes to mind when reading that transcript is it's above my paygrade.

Would love to see interviewers question all the candidates in such a nice hard way instead of the softball that bho and crowd have been receiving. It's just a true shame that when palin is asked a question she actual goes and gives just her straight answer instead of spending several minutes with some finely crafted political palaver that answers nothing and results in the interviewer moving on to a new question.


But then again, to expect similar treatment for all interviews would be expecting there to be no bias.

PALIN: I'll try to find you some, and I'll bring them to you.

ROFL. At this point, Tina Fey should actually be running for VP.

She brought it up. I know she took Journalism in college but when going into politics you need to think like a lawyer. For example, lawyers never ask a question they don't know the answer to. Hence, if she brought up a topic, her handlers should've warned her about the different directions that topic could've gone and have a ready answer. She didn't.

Daaaaamn... much props to Katie Couric in sticking to her guns and asking questions about real issues. Palin looked just horrible in that interview, no wonder McCain doesn't want her to debate against Biden.

Has anybody seen the Sarah Palin church video? The one in which two guys are "laying hands on her" (yeah, baby, yeah!) while some African medicine man implores God to make a way for her in politics and protect her against witchcraft?

who cares what she (or Obama) does in church as long as she doesn't attempt to put it into law?

I ask this all the time...

She DOES want to put her church BS into law. Have you two been living under a rock for the past 20 years or what??

 

[wwswimming]

wow. her voice really does sound like Tina Fey, or whoever it was that
played her on SNL.

i could only watch 10 seconds.

About right now I'm betting that a lot of Republicans are wishing the mcCain would have picked Romney instead of the School Marm. She has nothing to offer the ticker where as Romney has his economic know how and experience running a real State Government.

Oh well:laugh::thumbsup:

No, Romney would have guaranteed a McCain loss. He has a shot with Palin.

I watched the video. It most certainly is not what you people in here are trying to claim...but that's how things are in here. You libs find one little thing you go stark raving nuts over it.

Meh... I'll just throw a cookie in the middle of your circle and get the hell out of this thread...


/me tosses cookie and leaves.

:laugh: Seriously even my republican buddies that are voting McCain think she flopped this interview. I can't believe anybody would actually think that Palin did well in this interview. It's going from rose-colored glasses to glasses that are opaque.

hungry rabid leftists today...eh?


/me throws more cookies into the middle of the circle...



Oh and BTW - no where did I suggest she did well. If you morons are going to quote my posts - at least read them so you don't look like complete fools or trolls.

Polling disagrees with you, and has disagreed with you a little after the McCain bounce (when this broad was exposed as a fraud during her first interview).

Just trying to get an honest answer to this. Why would Romney have been a bad choice? He definately is more qualified. If you wre trying to make news and get a qualified female what about Kay Bailey Hutchison? Those two are more qualified and conservative.

While disagreeing with their stand on many issues I would not be worried with them taking over if something happens to McCain.

No, you said, "I watched the video. It most certainly is not what you people in here are trying to claim.".

Some posters just linked to a video byte, others just commented to the effect that it was a terrible interview for her, some debated poll numbers, but Dari, Perk, and a few others pointed out the same point Dari made-

How is that clip not what is claimed in the above quote, concerning her inability to defend her own assertion with facts/examples/record on the issue?

I have agreed with your opinions more than once when reading through threads here. The dems get lathered up, sometimes making a mountain out of a mole hill, but you really have said nothing in this thread. You make an ambiguous comment, then proceed to, (how it appears to me anyways), do nothing more than be pugnacious toward the other posters. If you can explain that clip differently, you'll find myself, and some other lurkers too, perhaps, willing to impartially consider it. Lacking such a response, it just looks like a drive by.

How is that republican kool aid tasting, a bit bitter eh?

CAD is falling back on what partisan hacks in a lot of forums have done since the Palin interview came out. They have nothing valid to say anymore to defend their beloved VPILF Palin so they resort to outright insults on the other members.

Karl Rove must be sweating bullets right now trying to figure out what new message to push on the conservative talk shows now that his talking points have faltered in the face of the economic woes our country is facing right now.

 

[BAMAVOO]

I hate to say it, but my wife and I both turned and looked at each other after this interview. My wife's only words were, "That was bad." It almost looks like she is just super nervous, I am hoping that is it. I think she needs to get to studying.

A sad day indeed.
