[RedEarth]

All you can say is: unbelievable. Except it's true. She is the vice-presidential candidate of a national political party. Seriously:

4. As Putin raises his head in the air above Alaska??????

[Kilroy003]

5. Wow.

It's the word of the month, apparently.

[Thrill]

6. This is a joke. You can say what you want. But even some of the smart Republicans like

Kay Hutchinson, Lugar, Collins, etc.... Have to be pissed seeing this moron as their VP candidate

[Overseas]

7. She's a lot dumber than I thought she was at first.

I thought she'd be a regular heartless hypocritical liar like the rest of them. They'd feed her the lies and she'd plug them in smoothly. But I was wrong. She can't even lie smoothly. No wonder they've been hiding her away.

8. Geeeesh!!!

9. It must be frightening seeing Putin's gigantic head rise up into Alaskan air every day.

[Spazito]

10. OH. MY. GOD!

She believes it, she really does! Being a "neighbor" to Russia equates to major foreign policy experience in her pea-brain.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

11. Embarrassing

That this person is meeting heads of foreign countries this week as the potential Vice President? I'm simply embarrassed. My 10-year-old daughter could have done better than that.

[merh]

12. Did you see her comments on Afghannistan

and "they hate us for our freedoms"?

The excerpt from Part 2 that is to air tonight.


:wow:

Katie Couric: Why is it much more challenging there? Can you explain that?

Sarah Palin: The logistics that we are already suggesting here, not having enough troops in the area right now. The… things like the terrain even in Afghanistan and that border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where, you know, we believe that-- Bin Laden is-- is hiding out right now and… and is still such a leader of this terrorist movement. There… there are many more challenges there. So, again, I believe that… a surge in Afghanistan also will lead us to victory there as it has proven to have done in Iraq. And as I say, Katie, that we cannot afford to retreat, to withdraw in Iraq. That's not gonna get us any better off in Afghanistan either. And as our leaders are telling us in our military, we do need to ramp it up in Afghanistan, counting on our friends and allies to assist with us there because these terrorists who hate America, they hate what we stand for with the… the freedoms, the democracy, the… the women's rights, the tolerance, they hate what it is that we represent and our allies, too, and our friends, what they represent. If we were… were to allow a stronghold to be captured by these terrorists then the world is in even greater peril than it is today. We cannot afford to lose in Afghanistan.

13. Dear God, it's easy to see my the McCain crew have kept her under wraps...

she's an embarrassment. You've got to think they are going to do everything in their power to keep the VP debate from taking place.

[merh]

14. Well, there is one positive side to this

She is proof positive that our government has not developed any affective brainwashing techniques.

:silly:

15. Hell, I would take anybody that stayed at a Holiday Inn Express

last night over her- sack a hammers!

16. Somewhere.... Mike Huckabee is saying to himself... "WTF?"

Somebody get a 527 out on that hypocritical gem.
