What is with all of Palin's "you betcha" and "heckuva" expressions in a national vp debate?

[avaistheone1]

The expressions Palin chooses make her sound like even more of a dingbat than she already is.

Her language also doesn't make her sound very presidential either. I cringe to think of Palin on an international stage around world leaders talking that. Ugh!

[justiceischeap]

1. Trying to connect with "Joe Six-pack" (eom)

[avaistheone1]

20. That's it! Makes sense. I think most of what Palin says and how she says it - is very deliberate.

I just didn't know if was nerves showing, or if there was some purpose to those expressions.

[texpatriot2004]

2. I agree. Why does she do that? nm

[NYC_SKP]

7. its all she has.... nt

[Marsala]

3. Americans don't want some "liberal elite", they want an ordinary person.

Someone just as stupid as they are. :eyes:

[question everything]

4. And nuculur, and Eyraq and Eyran?

but hey, she is "one of us" and too many dumb voters love this.

[HughMoran]

5. It's a female Bush

Think about it - she's just like Bush - that's why many Republicans are losing faith in her.

[Left Is Write]

6. She makes Junior seem almost smart.

[dana_b]

22. I wouldn't go that far. n/t

[Left Is Write]

24. I did say "almost."

;)

[dana_b]

32. true... but what's with the wink? Why is EVERYONE winking at me tonight??

Argh!!
















;-)

[Left Is Write]

37. It's a disease.

;)

We must fight it.

[livetohike]

8. Is this how she speaks as Governor of Alaska?

So unprofessional and embarrassing, but then I was a teacher years ago...

[tblue]

9. She probably eats 'vittles' and goes swimmin' in the 'cement pond,' too.

[southerncrone]

34. Leave the Clampetts out of this! They weren't running for VP!

Besides, they were genuine & not reading rehearsed talking points.

P'n is NOT genuine!

;)

[grannylib]

10. She has no substance, and the "style" she's going for is the

tired old "regular folks" shit that W portrays hisself as. What a lie. In both cases. As though that's what the American people are really looking for. What rot.

[LiberalAndProud]

11. Folksy, wasn't it? She's just one of the folk like you and me.

youbetcha!

[rwenos]

12. She Does It When She's Nervous

I read the other day her accent is part Minnesota and part Alaskan backwoods. When she's confident and working that University of Idaho communications degree, she finishes her syllables -- "looking," "speaking," "thinking." When she's unsure of herself, or is trying self-consciously to ingratiate, she reverts to the backwoods accent -- "lookin," "speakin," "thinkin."

It's a reversion to Pep Squad Barbie, before Idaho Vandal Barbie. Maybe someone will ask her someday what it's like to get drunk in Moscow. (Inside Idaho joke.)

[ecstatic]

13. The clip they just showed is so Ned Flanders-ish

lol
Think she said, "Say it ain't so Joe, there you go again... dogonit..." :wtf:

[betharina]

14. i think i heard a "now doggoneit". nt.

[joop]

18. you did. transcript

*********
PALIN: Say it ain't so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let's look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future.

***********

the total utter asswipe.

[Retrograde]

28. but she left out Gosh

and Mr. Retrograde beat me in Palin bingo, doggone it.

[avaistheone1]

33. Good catch. I missed that one.

[progressivebydesign]

15. She does NOT have the gravitas to be VP or president.

I would fucking kill myself if that fraud was in charge the next time America has a big crisis.

She is the frontman for the Todd & Sarah show... he's been running things, and she is the "face" I don't trust them, I don't like them. If that bitch can't even muster enough decency to respond to Biden's tender moment about his family, then all of that shit she spews is garbage.

Let us frame ALL the crap she said about being a hockey mom with the reality of what people who really know her say about her. Vindictive, phony, ruthless, and absent. She hasn't done the PTA since her FIRST child was in first grade!!!

[kenny blankenship]

16. Elitist!

Real Americans express themselves in a string of ol' timey interjections - always have, always will. (insert Wilford Brimley photo here)

[nutsnberries]

17. don't forget: doggone it.

everybody loves dogs. ;)

[Swamp Rat]

19. Why do you hate America?

:D

[TwilightGardener]

21. This act worked the last 2 elections. I confidently predict it will not work a third time.

Unlike Chimpy, who had a father who was President and who at least graduated from an Ivy League school with a master's degree, she doesn't have anything in her background to quell the suspicion that she's as dingbatty as she sounds.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. It's like the rapping grandma in a lot of movies.

They want to relate to you, but it just ends up looking sad.

[TexasObserver]

25. You pointy headed liberal ivory tower elitist can't hardly git it.

Idiocracy. It's here. It's the GOP way.

[Kablooie]

26. She wants to seem the kind of girl a guy can go out drinking with.

[anigbrowl]

27. Yeah, I noticed on CNN it started to wear thin after a while

They had 'interest graphs' for both men and women. I was watching those a lot; Ms Browl was looking more at faces, and started getting really irritated with her frequent winking at the camera.

[Monk06]

29. Well if it's the Radisson, ya know it''s good.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

30. and "dog gone it" (I just heard her say it on a re-run of the debate)

[FatDave]

31. I have a theory about that.

She's an imbecile.

[Norrin Radd]

35. John Seven-Houses

[raysr]

36. "I'll get back to yaw". Fucking beeeottccch!
