I watched the Palin interview. What it revealed to me is that she was and has always been handled

[Windy]

She really is just a "soccer mom". That was the revelation. I know lots of them. But what it also solidified for me is the fact that she is completely unqualified to hold elective office outside of maybe a local city council. She could not have been qualified to be govenor of Alaska, even as small and minimally populated as it is and should never set foot anywhere near the whitehouse.

[xultar]

1. Well she is qualified drive the Obama girls to soccer. So she could get near

the WH. Just don't know if I'd want her to.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. Levi said she wasn't even a real soccer mom

I believe he said he remembered only one time when she drove her kids to soccer practice.

[GMA]

2. I feel the same about

a lot of members of Congress right now. What makes them magically qualified when they get elected?

[Windy]

5. Oh I do too. John Boehner for one.

It was just beyond comprehension that a congressmen, much less the minority leader, did not know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution!

[mwb970]

25. The ignorance of republican politicans (and voters) is stunning.

This goes way beyond "short atttention spans". I think they're just plain dumb.

[Obamanaut]

10. Their net worth and sense of entitlement. n/t

[Windy]

3. No offense to soccer moms, and I know smart, informed ones as well BUT

even they would admit they do not have the intelligence, instinct and world view to qualify them for the presidency...
God, I can't even imagine it.

[ecstatic]

4. Something she got away with in that interview

One of the reasons she resigned was because Obama was sending his people to Alaska to investigate her? Really???

[Windy]

6. Yeah, that was just ridiculous.

You could also see that Oprah was none too pleased to have her there.

[HipChick]

8. she's a paranoid delusional as well..

[emulatorloo]

11. Delusional. Too many fictional John Fund editorials in the WSJ

[Blue_In_AK]

12. No, actually, what happened

(and I remember this, oh, so well) is that McCain sent his people here to shut down the Troopergate investigation. Does anyone remember the Palin Truth Squad? Meg Stapletongue and that asshole from the Justice Department who had been working on terrorism cases before he was sent up here to shut down the legislature's investigation?

What a crock, Sarah. She thinks we all have her short attention span.

[roguevalley]

21. I remember that. what a travesty she is. Do you remember she used

to pack a gun in her purse when she was mayor of Wasilla?

[Blue_In_AK]

22. I never heard about that,

but it doesn't surprise me in the least. Can you believe the lies spewing from that woman's mouth? Everything I've been hearing from her book is just a total load of shit. I don't know how in the world she thinks she can get away with all of this.

Did you see that clip of Levi on E as he as watching the Oprah interview? He was none too pleased. I'm waiting for him to drop a bomb on her.

[blm]

7. Typical of most GOP lawmakers who only memorized Gingrich's training course in the 90s.

That's also the time when Limbaugh would repeat every thing Gingrich would FAX him - verbatim.

[lostnfound]

9. Bush had handlers; Reagan had handlers.

Maybe they aren't the only ones, but it was obvious with those two.

[KamaAina]

13. She is not a soccer mom so stop saying that!

She is a hockey mom. Too cold for soccer in Wasilla.

[Windy]

15. Did you forget your sarcasm tag? They do play soccer in AK... and

she called herself a soccer mom during the interview...

[KamaAina]

17. You watched the interview?!

:wow:

Of course they play soccer in AK. Maybe even a midnight game in summer! But Caribou Barbie has always been identified with hockey, to the point of building an expensive, glitzy new ice rink in Wasilla while she was mayor.

[Cha]

14. She proved that by dropping out...

she got in way over her own petard and had to get the hell out of there.

She's got a big mouth that lies at 90 miles an hour..what else do you need to be a gopervert?

[krabigirl]

16. She doesn't want to be in the white house, just in the limelight.

[Raine]

19. Does she ever take a breath

I've never heard anyone who can talk like that.:banghead: If I had to live with her I think I would muzzle her or kill myself. :yoiks:

[tblue37]

20. And the *sound* of that nasally voice is sheer hell on the ears! nt

[SoCalDem]

23. She grew up as the "cutest girl in the room"..the one the guys all wanted to date

and the one who the girls wanted to be friends with.. She was the proverbial big-fish in a small pond..

She cruised on her looks & her quick smile & wink

she married the hunky good looking guy, and somehow along the way she ended up with a whole bunch of kids..but she's still acting the teenage girl herself..

her kids raised themselves, her husband's still a boy

sarah's used to having other people do the actual work, and she;ll step in for the credit..unless it all turns to shit..then she'll step away and blame others..

[cali]

24. I doubt she grew up as the cutest girl in the room. She's just not that

good looking.

[Enthusiast]

27. Disagree. In the eye of the beerholder. nt

[Enthusiast]

26. You got it nailed, SoCalDem.

We all know someone like her.
