I think we now have reason to believe Palin is an habitual liar
After reading this article http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/26/palin-annoyed-with-cbs-interviewer

in which Palin says she did badly in her interview with Couric because she was "annoyed" with her.

This immediately caused me to remember her explanation of not knowing what the Vice President does saying "It was just a joke".

I have known many well practiced habitual liars in my life and this strikes out at me right away. I have noticed they tend to make up some excuse (usually by shifting blame to someone else) in order to make themselves look better.

It was obvious to me her interview went poorly because she is a moron and didn't have a clue what to say. Not because she was "annoyed". It was also obvious to me the fool really didn't know what the VP does, and passing it off as a joke was a blatant cover for her self.

Also I think this also shows something deeper about her character. Not only do we know she is a liar - we also can see that she holds personal hostility to people when they (in HER MIND) cross her regardless of if that was what they really did. She was not annoyed with Couric because of the questions, she was annoyed because she looked like a fool. Couric asked her legit questions, and treated her with respect. However, in Palins mind Couric is personally her enemy now.

This shows to me that Palin is likely a very dangerous person... or has the potential to be if given enough power.

1. She's a seasoned liar. She lies for sport.
Plus being malicious and self serving with a generous serving of demagogue.

5. Gov. Palin is a Sociopath,; charming, viscious,,vindictive,corrupt & a
pathological Liar.

Gov. Palin needs to be Impeached, now!!!

At the very least, Alaskans need to mount a Recall Petition & toss her out. She is unfit to be Gov., much less VP or possibly Pres. of the USA..

4. She has a long history of lying and shifting blame.
It's not anything that's going to go away anytime soon. She's been doing this her entire career in an extreme way.

You hit the nail on the head when using the word dangerous in correlation with her. That's exactly what she is. She's a danger to anyone who actually wants to see change in Washington and change in the way our country is run.

She is as corrupt as they come.

6. She's actually a seasoned bullshitter.
Usually, it's men who fall into this category. We've all met the guy in a bar or pool hall, who says he's an undercover FBI or CIA agent, or who brags about how much money he makes, etc.. But women can become good at it too, especially when entering fields like politics that were once open only to males. Of course, in order to be a good bullshitter you have to also be a practiced liar. In Sarah's case, the lying borders on the pathological. I do feel that McCain is a bullshitter too. He just seems to have his lies more under control so they don't seem as blatantly outrageous.

8. For adolescents, it's called a "phase."
Not all adolescents go very deeply into this "phase" but we almost all dabbled to one degree or another ... spinning, re-framing, 'selling,' and engaging in minor "cover-ups" of our more embarrassing screw-ups. It's a "phase" of adolescence most experience in our early teens. (Maybe it's hormonal.) It's not uncommon in 8th, 9th, or 10th grade. Palin NEVER grew out of it. She's stuck in high school ... and not even a senior. Not really. She still PRETENDS ... and thinks the "most popular" is something she can get by engaging in smear campaigns against the girls who might threaten her. It's all a matter of making sure someone else gets blamed if she's called out on it.

She's still both emotionally and mentally stuck in high school. Beauty queen. :puke:
