Okay, watch this video. What the hell is she talking about? Palin just strings non-sequiturs together. But, in one answer tonight, Palin blamed Main Street, actually blamed the "toxic mess" on Main Street, for affecting Wall Street. Most people, including John McCain, blame Wall Street for Main Street's woes. But, Palin should know. She's a "Main Streeter." Does that mean she's a toxic mess?:

1. Sounds like she didn't memorize this one
Honestly, it reminds me of Bush saying Saddam Hussein when he meant to say Bin Laden while debating Kerry in 2004. Just like someone who "overprepared" for that big exam and then choked when the professor reworded the question.

2. hehe. I saw this as it happened.
It was a typical slip. She doesn't know wtf she's talking about, but so long as she's got "Main St" and "Wall St." blocked out in some phrases she's fine with that! You betcha! what a laugh!

3. so she basically just said
that she has no problem in throwing people out of their homes and that mclame was right in taking away the life preserver which bankruptcy protection offers.

And they say they are going to change? Yeah, for the worst.

4. So Greed and Corruption on Wall Street is a "Revelation" to Palin and the Repubs?
I thought there was a movie that talked about this from the 80s, it even had a main character say that "Greed was good." What was that movie? Oh, yeah -- it was called WALL STREET!!!

And I'm tired of them blaming Fannie and Freddie for this just because they can tie them to Democrats. You'd be hard pressed to find real experts who blame Fannie and Freddie for all this.
