Palin was just asked in a town hall what experience she has re: national security...

[jenmito]

the woman asked the question in a friendly way, something like, "I've heard people claim you are not prepared to be VP because of your PERCEIVED lack of foreign policy experience. What can you say to prove them wrong?"

Her answer was a joke-paraphrased: "If Sen. McCain and I are lucky enough to win the election, on Jan. 20th, you will have two people who are ready to lead this country. I am ready. If you want to know anything about another country you can ask me-like a pop quiz. I'm ready. And the two of us will be ready to lead."

Then McCain chimed in, adding-paraphrased-"And she knows about energy which is a national security issue. She is the CIC of the Alaskan National Guard and has a son in Iraq right now. So she is ready and has interest in our foreign policy."

It was PATHETIC!! :rofl:

1. that's exactly what she said to Charlie.

[jenmito]

5. I know. She repeated almost everything she said to Charlie in the few questions she was

asked, and her "closing statement" was verbatim from her stump speech-that their opponents like to say they'll fight for you, but there's only one man who has ever fought for you and that man is John McCain. :eyes:

[Marsala]

2. What, no mention of being able to see Russia from Alaska? n/t

[jenmito]

9. I think she's embarrassed to say that after the SNL skit.

[medicswife]

3. Dude, can you link me to the feed?

I wanna see Sarah play at being knowledgeable!!!!

[jenmito]

8. It's over. It was on cnn live stream. There was nothing worth hearing, really.

Nothing new.

[NYC_SKP]

14. Good for comedic effect, giggles, (dark humor)... nt

[NYC_SKP]

12. (Dudette, actually)......Yes, I'd like a live feed, anyone?

I'm not finding one on the net or any coverage at CSPAN, or msm.......

[jenmito]

22. Thanks. No-it's finished. n/t

[Overseas]

4. K&R because that whole exchange is so totally McLame !!

Wow. They really think they've succeeded in dumbing down America, don't they !

[jenmito]

13. Thanks, Overseas...

I missed part of it but I just saw on Olbermann that people were shouting "Obama! Obama!" on their way out.

ETA-That was on his way out of a car-making factory with his wife. Sorry.

[alsame]

6. Same words over and over. Guess it works for the Fox sheeple. eom

[MichiganVote]

7. I thought it was because she could see Russia on a clear day..you can see foreverrrrrrr

[Beaverhausen]

10. So having a son in Iraq makes someone a foreign policy expert?

:eyes:

[Doremus]

15. That's some kind of osmosis -- her son hasn't shipped out yet, lol

[jenmito]

16. Yup. I can't wait 'til she realizes Biden has a son in Iraq, too...

maybe at their debate. :D

[speedoo]

11. They're still campaigning together? Good.

We got them outnumbered 3 or 4 to 1, because our guys can campaign independently.

[KansDem]

17. Wait!!! You mean it's a *joint* town-hall meeting with McCain and Palin???

Man, that is pathetic!

Shades of "Bush won't answer 9/11 Commission questions without Cheney there to hold his hand..."

[jenmito]

20. Yup. And they say this is how it's gonna be for the foreseeable future.

Not many days left...

[CakeGrrl]

25. Sounded like McCain stepped in to keep her from rambling or

saying something even more stupid than she had already said.

That's what happens when you put a know-nothing on your ticket. She really IS a drag on the campaign.

[Minimus]

18. "...has interest in our foreign policy" - That is such strange phrasing.

[jenmito]

21. Well, I was paraphrasing. That could be MY fault. n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

19. She left Swaziland $2Mill in debt: Only 6K people. That's what matters, with this financial meltdown

In a day or two, no one will care about foreign policy.

We'll be so scared by Nov. there's no way we'll put these kindergardners in charge.

[begin_within]

23. So Sarah, what is the nearest foreign country to Alaska?

[everything-bolt-up]

24. you are joking right? Did Pamoose really say that? eom.

[jenmito]

26. It's paraphrased, but pretty much what she really said.

[samuraiguppy]

27. she is sooo stupid

when Biden mops the floor with her I bet she cries

[ruggerson]

28. She can see Myanmar from her hoose

[samuraiguppy]

29. I thought they

would be keeping the bimbo under wraps? having her do townhalls is just asking for trouble...

[jenmito]

30. They let her answer a couple friendly questions at a rally/town hall. Oh-

and her hard-hitting interview with Hannity! :rofl:
