Sarah Palin's Charles Gibson Interview—We Know She Can Memorize the Talking Points, but Does She Understand Them?
Reader Comments
Palin logic and knowledge: "Newsflash for Bobby S."
Please do not attempt to legitimize Sarah Palin's intelligence. It is the same farcical spin that attempted to endow the little "bush" with some kind of native and Caliban-like thought process. Stop it and for once call Stupid STUPID!
Sarah Palin
For real people. Sarah Palin is simply not qualified to be veep, certainly not president! Can't you see it-John McCain drops dead, Sarah takes over-impeachment for sure. Let's save her from that. I am no longer convienced that she is qualified to be governor of Alaska! People, please stop. McCain made a terrible blunder by choosing this woman, who he didn't and still doesn't know. As a woman, I am insulted that he felt "any old woman" would do. There are so many more qualified republican women....wow......
A Terrifying Moment
It worries me to no end that there is even the slightest chance that we might have to suffer, yet again, with high ranking officials who aren't really intellectually capable. I know that is is difficult to answer questions of the cuff - but I also know that if you're qualified, well-read, educated, interested (you know dedicated enough to be nominaated as vice president) you would begin to educate yourself on the ways of the world -- These were not difficult questions - yet the answers were random straws plucked from the air. If she must be so tightly scripted - then why not just have her speech write run instead.
If Palin is "wired" to be VP/Pres. she should already have been versed in any of these issues..she is woefully ignorgant and a simpleton in too many issue and it is painfully uncomfortable to watch her stumble her way through this interview. This is not a school sport rah, rah here, this is the f...ing USA and helping to lead or leading it is no simple smiley face matter.

J,
Obviously, like most Republicans, you're completely right. Obama's coherence pales in comparison with that of the man he hopes to replace:
"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." —LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 18, 2000
"One of the things important about history is to remember the true history." -Washington, D.C., June 6, 2008
"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." —Greater Nashua, N.H., Jan. 27, 2000
"I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft." —second presidential debate, St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 8, 2004
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." —Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000
"Politics comes and goes, but your principles don't. And everybody wants to be loved -- not everybody. ... You never heard anybody say, 'I want to be despised, I'm running for office.'" -Tipp City, Ohio, April 19, 2007
"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." —to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004
"They misunderestimated me." —Bentonville, Ark., Nov. 6, 2000
"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" —Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
"And there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it." --interview on National Public Radio, Jan. 29, 2007
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." -Washington, D.C., May 12, 2008
And then, concludes J: ""You liberals are all a like, ready to fall off a cosmic roller coaster into the abyss of a black hole of ignorance and stupidity" Dubya could have'nt better of said it. . .

Obama
Take away Obama's telepromter and he has a hard time forming a coherent sentence.Listen to how many ahh's and but's he utters when this idiot tries to say something and you will get my point.
Do you recall the time he was trying to desperately articulate the cost of sending an asthmatic to the emergency room for treatment and said "if you give him a breathalyzer test first, he wouldn't have to go to the ER". Right, that's your Obamamommy!
This guy is not fit to shine shoes in a railway station, yet alone the president of our country
