Give Her a Break, It’s a Tough Question
by zhx
My consumption of political news in the past month has been reduced to “find out what stupid shit Palin said today.” I really, really did not think that the Republican party could come up with somebody more unfit to run the country — any country — than Bush, but they’ve truly outdone themselves this time. McCain had to really dig to push the envelope of farcical candidacy this time around. Before his selection of Palin you were just an idiot if you were voting for McCain. Now, you’re a fucking idiot. Sarah Palin is stunningly incompetent. I can only imagine the Palin candidacy is some sort of university-funded experiment to see if Americans will just vote for anybody they see on TV.
Everybody’s seen the embarrassing Katie Couric interview by now, but CBS continues to release delicious little unaired morsels of hilarity/horror from that fated interview in the days leading up to the VP debates. Try to keep your jaw closed while Palin completely whiffs the question “what newspapers do you read” like a high school debate team star bombing his first job interview.
All of them? No wonder she’s such a strong candidate. Finding time to raise a family while reading EVERY PERIODICAL ON EARTH is no easy task!
In the ABC interview, Charlie Gibson asked her “What was your first reaction when you were tapped for VP? Overwhelmed?” Without even thinking about her answer, Palin just spouted out “NO.” This may be, for all intents and purposes, true, but not for the reasons Palin hopes. It’s not that she’s ready to be Vice President, it’s that she’s too fucking stupid to realize how in over her head she is. McCain has, what, 2 years or 20,000 more miles left on that body of his? If Sarah “Can’t Name a Newspaper” Palin becomes the fucking President of the United States of America, I think the Christian fundamentalists are right: end times are upon us. Alaska is apparently only a “microcosm of America” in that it is a landfill of morons with a bigger moron at the helm.
But ultimately to help those that the health care helps to reduce taxes and to shore up the economy, creating the jobs. And Islamic extremists and McCain. And Wall Street and Main Street.
I spent all monday at work streaming the debates between mcdeath (i own the rights to that name) and obama, i watched the debates twice and then the rest of the day i was just watching palin interviews. bill maher talked about how incredibly dumb she was and he was really passionate about how stupid she was, he wasn’t saying it as a joke.
i never saw that clip, but i did see the one about “and where does putin stick his little head out? over alaska bitches”
that is…i’m still shaking my head thinking of that. he’s not a woodland elf peaking from behind some tree stump how she made it to be. she’s so fucking retarded and infuriatingly so. the idea of her having even THIS much attention pisses me off. the ONLY plus to all of this, its GOING to keep hurting mcain billy. and after thursday…i dont know what will happen, i kinda have this feeling they’ll do what they did in 2004 where bush had that wire on his back with somoene feeding him answers. i can truly see them trying to do that, but with an ear piece thats tiny you wouldn’t see it. that, or she’ll leave the race for some “family issues” either way she keeps hurting mcain, and after monday with the stock market getting hit like that, its MORE pluses for us obamamaites. she’s so fucking retarded it really pisses me off…i was just thinking about how upset she and ALL the other stupid people out there are.
btw religilous comes out friday!
Hold on, she reads ALL of the papers? Man, she gets my vote! The added benefit is that she is from Alaska, which means she knows a crap load about foreign policy, ya know, having seen the continent of Asia from afar. What a wonderful woman!
I agree, if she’s reading the Wilmington Star then that means she’s way more likely to know how to make MY life better. I don’t even read that newspaper, so it’s relief to know that she does.
Obama/Palin 08!
