...she listed Ireland as one of the three.

But then it emerged she had made a re-fuel stopover at Shannon airport on her way to rally the troops in the second county she's been to; Kuwait!!

She's not really a dumbass, she's just drawn that way.

Watch the interview a few times....shut your eyes, click your heals...and repeat "There's no place like home."

It's all just a very bad dream.......


Wait, maybe that's what she's thinking.

It's McCain who should be booted out of government for this - Palin's another one of his trophy women. Notice the similarities between "Mrs." and "Governor"? They say nothing - life is a vacuum filled with benefits that keep them going.

On the other hand, it's patently obvious poor John couldn't get anyone else to run with him. Tsk, tsk. Signs John that you shouldn't have tried this race. Who on earth will support him if he was elected? The people? Good luck.

Pain's speech is outrageous - she is a national disgrace. We teach our children to speak correctly, and here is a VEEP candidate pushed to meet with foreign heads of state unable to speak English correctly, and she can't cope with the simplest inteviews without falling apart. Negotiate with Iran!? cOME ON!

What must the McCain campaign have paid those she met with to tolerate such abuse from her. Someone needs to call out a business-attire consultant for her, too. Let's get that woman dressed, coifed, and speaking properly or we'll end up with another Bush on our hands.

Saint's preserve us.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.
The old rancher said 'well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.' Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle is.
The old rancher said, 'when your driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle'
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctors face, so he continued to explain...You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.

I don't know what future debates are planned in the run up to the November election, but on reading this and listening to Palin, it strikes me that the more media coverage like this that Palin can get, the better for the Democrats. A four-way debate, with McCain and Obama debating economic policy, while Palin and Biden debate foreign policy could be both instructive and entertaining.

The more I hear about McCain and Palin, the more their nomination seems to be a put-on. They are totally laughable characters who no one in their right mind would take seriously, let alone send to the White House. This is very much like Bob Dole's candidacy against Clinton. It was a joke.

The question is: why did the Repukes choose these two obvious losers? Anyone out there have any ideas?

Governor Palin sounds like she has been crammed with too many facts, and has had inadequate time to assimilate it all. Her performance rather reminds me of the scene in My Fair Lady, in which Eliza Doolittle babbles on at the Ascot opening races, elegantly transitioning from the rain in Spain to hurricanes in Hampshire.

I never would have thought I'd say this, but Katie Couric for VP! It's obvious that Ms Couric's experience as a morning talk show host and anhcor of a major network nightly news broadcast has given her more knowledge and capability than Sahra has in her little finger. Having Sahra Palin one heart beat away from the presidency scares the hell out of me.

It has been so great to watch people in the media talk to Sarah Palin like a kindergarten teacher talking to a student. If only they had treated Bush this way for the past eight years! If only they treated all politicians this way!

...the sad fact is that Palin is still revving up the GOP base because she's a hardcore conservative like Bush and because she has that relatively youthful, plucky aura.

Thankfully, outside of that, more and more people who are independents and former Hilary supporters are realizing what a pathetic dunce she is. Like Sarah Silverman, they're probably also wondering "Can't we have people in the White House that we don't have to be ashamed of anymore?"

What I find truly unsettling is that because McCain is keeping his medical record closely guarded (probably because there's some unsettling heath problems documented there), we might have to suffer through at least 2-3 years of her administration if he gets elected.

As bad as Bush is, try to imagine how much worse she could make things for everyone. If that scenario does play out, you can also expect that the likelihood of another female candidate is going to be pretty low for a long time to come.

This candidate may seem like a joke but the joke may be on us if the Republicans don't care who's running because they have no intention of allowing the voters to decide our leadership regardless!

While we're all paying attention to the McPain train wreck, there are systematic efforts being launched or continued in Democratic districts around the county to suppress, intimidate, or disable the voting process. Paperless and other computerized voting machines are proven insecure and I'll bet there will be fewer machines than needed in Democratic districts in Ohio, Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Nevada- ensuring long lines and short tempers at the polls.

The attempts to throw valid Democratic voters off the rolls in each of the battleground states is also already underway, too, with challenges being prepared against voters who face foreclosure in Ohio, people with names similar to felons (or just black-sounding) in Florida, and those without "proper ID" (even if there is no ID requirement).

We have a bunch of power-drunk criminals in the White House who are not going to go easily from "untouchability" to vulnerability. I, for one, don't trust the electoral process to work after the last two Presidential elections- certainly not without serious oversight and a healthy dose of skepticism on the part of the American electorate! Do you seriously think Cheney has any intention of ending his reign as shadow dictator? Or that Karl Rove is no longer the primary architect of Republican dirty trick politics? Keep your eyes on the ball, people!

What citizens can and should do:

Especially if you live in any of the swing states, please consider being a poll worker or watcher! Check out your local election board's website for information on how.

Go early and DO NOT leave the polls if the lines are long. Call in sick to work, don't go to class, arrange for child care- do whatever it takes! Bring a snack, a book, and 3-5 friends with you to the polls and make sure you record your vote in some way.

If you are suspicious about conduct at the polls, document the incident(s), have the local election board's number handy and call them. Also have numbers for local voting rights organization and your chapter of the ACLU.

Be prepared to protest the result if it does not reflect our will as a people. We must not allow our democracy to be subverted again!

There are millions of subjects in this world that I am not qualified to discuss, but how Sarah Palin presents when she speaks is not among them. At one point in my life I taught high school for ten years. Trust me on this--- Palin comes across not as a professional or even as a politician, but as a high school student---one who is working at C level. I have also taught college undergraduates and graduate students. Hear me: Palin is working at high school level.

Palin's opponents (and they are legion) need to be careful. Hard-hitting attacks will probably generate sympathy. Katie Couric had it about right: Ask her fairly simple questions, and allow her to sink herself with incoherent and/or absurd answers.

At the moment, Palin is simply out of her league. Sort of like a mediocre Single-A ballplayer promoted to the Bigs during the World Series. She's just "not ready to lead"--nor ready to speak in coherent sentences.

McCain and Palin are what Repugs have to offer for the next4-8 years?

What is even more crazy is that McCain-Palin are polling withing margin of error with Obama-Biden!

Is it me or the voters in this country are retarded?

Why aren't the baby-boomers out on the street protesting as they see their retirement funds getting wiped off?

Why aren't the people in their 30s-40s out on the street protesting against job loss, rising inflation, increases in health care costs, and a decrease in their incomes?

Why aren't the college kids and fresh graduates out on the streets protesting against lack of jobs and rising cost of tuitions?

Fat, dumb, FUGLY Americans!

I guess this is the way Karma works - we destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan; and now we are destroying ourselves.

McCain picked Palin for one reason -- the fake pass -- to distract the American people from the real issues -- and to distract the American people from taking a hard look at who McCain is today and what policies he's proposing should he become president.

McCain's whole presidential campaign has been about one Fake Pass over another -- it's never been about the issues -- and the Rove Republicans - who McCain has signed on for as their poster boy -- are just hoping that the clock runs out and he gets in.

Wake up, America! This crap is happening right in front of our faces -- and we're not doing anything about it other than ignoring that Rove Republicans aren't just about this election -- they are really about changing up our entire democracy -- they've put us deep in historic deficits and trade deficits, they decimated the economy and now want a $700 billion taypayer bailout without any strings attached, we're bailing out Fannie and Freddie - 2 government agencies that the Republicans privatized to disasterous end -- we're bailing out AIG (one of McCain's biggest donors) -- they've given the Executive Branch more power ever in our history, suspended habeus corpus, shut down any access to information; are building fences on our borders; decimated our individual rights and state's rights -- Are you listening?

Ask yourself -- Are we really the democracy that our forefathers gave their lives for? or some quasi-democracy -- a shell of a democracy --

Remember people, Mussolini was ELECTED by a democracy -- and remember what happened?!

This crap is happening -- wake up and do whatever you have to do to get Obama in there --think about our future generations!

The more she squeals about control the more states will slip from their fingers. This election is not about Sarah's wonderful state of Alaska. It is about the American People and their ravening need for ANY cheap energy source.

But even the gas guzzling American public can see what having her in office will mean. They are just trying to bamboozle themselves into believing she is not as bad as she seems and really does have a solution!

In the mean time let the grungy so and so set sights on enslaving the American people to a Religious Corporatocracy. The resulting furor is just the torpedo that will sink her ass.

It's ironic that McHoover brought on Sarah to im-Palin his campaign in order to pander to women. Most of the women I speak to are mortified by this selection. Many of the "dudes and rednecks" I know say stuff like, "I'd do her" or "I'd like to field undress her".

I think Obama almost had it right. It's not just the Republican Party that likes to revel in it's stupidity, it's the whole freakin' nation! The dumbing down of America is truly frightening...

So, instead of having a President y'all'd like to have a beer with, we have a VP candidate y'all'd like to "do". (Shaking my head in dis-belief...)

And before you jump down my throat for putting down "dudes and rednecks", let me say this; I live in the South and I'm truly a bit of a hick myself. Observation is just observation. Just sayin'...

The more and more I watch Sarah Palin and listen to her comments, the more she looks and sounds like that innocent girl from South Carolina a few months back. The difference is that I felt that girl's pain in trying to find her answers, temporarily losing her train of thought under the lights. Not so with Mrs. Palin. She's a politician running for the VP (and possibly eventually President) of this country and ought to be able to give answers more relevant to the questions asked. She seems in way over her head.

Just my opinion.

Clearly, John McCain has become delusional. And by picking a wanna-be politician who doesn't know her a*s from her elbow, who is so egocentric, he has put this country at enourmous risk. Could you even imagine that pair in the White House? It gives me cold shivers down my spine. I only caight bits and pieces of the Couric interview, and I came to the conclusion that she IS NOT a quick study!
If she has foreign policy experience because of geography, does it make me more experienced because I spent a summer in Europe? I also majored in Poli/Sci in college. Does that make me quailified to be part of a team that will lead the most powerful office in the free world?

For breakfast this morning I had an English muffin.

Last night I had Chinese fried rice.

Tonight, I'm cooking up an Italian feast.

In the fourth grade, I made a map of Europe out of flour, salt and water.

DAMN! My foreign policy credentials are better than Ms. Palin's. GRANNY FOR VP!

What a freaking air head! Of course the really scary part is that I know LOTS of people who would watch that interview and come to the conclusion that she is brilliant. Seriously. Dumb and dumber!

Luv,
Granny

CONSERVATIVE COLUMIST ASKS PALIN TO QUIT: Dear friends, I bring a gift. This morning major conservative columnist Kathleen Parker has called upon Sarah Palin to withdraw her VP candidacy for the good of the GOP ticket and of the United States. Parker's exact words:
"If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street all by herself".
