Sarah Palin Does Not Know what an Achilles Heel Is! She's an idiot!

[SuperTrouper]

She completely ignored the question even after Biden answered it eloquently. She had absolutely no clue and went on a talking point. Did anybody noticed that?

1. You mean she never watched Troy?

And Brad is in Troy, she had to have seen it.

Of course, they never actually say "Achilles' heel" in that movie, so she maybe has no frame of reference.

[Lancer]

2. She clearly believes an Achilles' heel is a strength.

Remind me. How many colleges did she go to?

[SuperTrouper]

4. equal number of colleges as McCain's houses

[tannybogus]

3. She thinks it's a shoe by Choo! nt

Sorry, I got two hours of sleep Wednesday night and fell asleep before the end of the debate. I'm going to watch it again tonight.

10. OMG!

That's just incredible. She didn't begin to answer the question - she just gave a stupid speech!

[IndependentDem]

11. thats what she did all night...

she even told them that she wasn't going to answer the questions they want.

8. I realized that the second she started speaking after that speech.

12. WATCH THIS

Somebody just posted this video which is just a short clip showing exactly your point. I think your answer is as good as any - she didn't know what it means!

Here's the clip:

13. I found her response to be rather arrogant and

in the end she really did show you her Achilles hill by continuing to run the same basic stump speach material over and over as an answer. This was a slap to Gwen Iffle by not even acknowledging her question. She treated her like she was the sounding gun for the start of her 2 minute stump speech race through each debate segment. No wonder the McCain camp would only agree to one debate with such strict time limits. I'm stunned they agreed to that!

[InternalDialogue]

14. You've just explained how she will rationalize it when someone asks her next time.

"When you were asked in the debate what your Achilles heel was, you ignored the question and went on a talking point about something else."

"Well, there ya go! It's exactly what I was doin', instead of tellin' the American people out there what it was, I was illustratin' it with my actions there. Ya see, I think Joe Six-Pack and all those hockey moms there are sick of Washington tellin' them stuff, so I was showin' them there."

*wink*

15. She doesn't have time for that greek stuff by golly

That's for homos.
:sarcasm:

[Beausoleil]

16. Ironic, isn't it?

She showed what her Achilles' Heel is without even understanding what one is! She didn't even know she answered perfectly.

17. To be fair, she did ignore pretty much every other question as well. So it's hard

to say what she has a clue about, if anything.
