It's the SAME SPEECH!! She's on now in Colorado Springs...

[PCIntern]

It's like Chatty Cathy...pull the string and the BS comes out...

[npincus]

1. LOL

[redstate_democrat]

2. She such a joke.

She can't even give the speech she's been giving for the past four days without tripping over her tongue. She's a moron.

[4_Legs_Good]

3. where is the press?

Are they at least trying to grill her with questions after she speaks?

Or are they just letting her gracefully walk off the stage with her cue cards?

12. If she was Obama's V.P. pick, O'Reilly would have sent his ambush team after her

[DeschutesRiver]

4. Hate to admit it, because I should stay up on these things

but until she speaks with the press, I am not listening to another speech of hers. There is just no point. Gonna treat her like some campaign donor or administrative assistant type, either of whom is sucking up the old man boss, but has nothing to say but flattery and misleading statements. Gonna keep up on events and such going on about her, but am not wasting another moment on these dog and pony show appearances. She isn't answering to the press, because what you see is what you get - she knows nothing.

And besides, watching the first few minutes, and seeing that dirty old man watching her ass AGAIN while twirling his wedding ring is making me crazy. Oh, EYE-RACK causes a brain freeze, as well as her voice.

[K8-EEE]

11. YAWN!!!!!!!!!!! SAME BULLCRAP SPEECH, DIFFERENT DAY

Man who would fall for this shit?

[endthewar]

13. I think he's looking at her speech notes

[DeschutesRiver]

17. And while it is just a guess, I still don't think the old guy can see that far

I need to at least watch to see if he ever twirls that wedding ring while speaking on his own. I don't think so, but am open to checking.

What else is there to notice when either of them speak? There is no content.

[endthewar]

18. But she does wear some pretty big glasses

I was thinking along the same lines and thought that maybe her vision isn't that great so the words are pretty big on her notes.

[DeschutesRiver]

21. That's an interesting point

Rumor was that the glasses are more of a gimmick deal than for real, but who knows really?

Another thread quoted MSM that she forks out around $800/pair, and has 7 pairs, just a bit of political glasses trivia (don't know if you saw that post).

I think the most scientific test would be to have Ms. Sarah get to the point where she can give a speech without either teleprompter or notes, and THEN watch the geezer for those looks, the creepy smile, the self-satisfied sign. Oh, and the ring thing, too.

Of course, I am not certain giving a speech of that kind is within Ms. Sarah's abilties. It is taking her long enough just to "cram" for questions.

[endthewar]

22. If only Tim Russert was still around

God what I wouldn't give to see Sarah Palin sitting next to Tim Russert. I think that her brief career on the national political stage would come to an abrupt end.

[DeschutesRiver]

23. I hadn't thought about that, and you are right

It would magnificent to see this kind of small minded, dumb, legend in her own mind be exposed and then discarded after a performance on Tim's show.

I was just ranting on another thread about this dope on a rope who doesn't even understand what Freddie and Fannie Mae are, nor what just happened. She is a freaking functional illiterate with regards to the kind of things she MUST know to stand as VP, or god forbid, to take over the presidency from the old melanoma guy. Tim would get a kick out of pursuing why a VP candidate is so in the dark that she doesn't know what a GSE is or how it functions. Unfortunately, most people don't really get it either; thus Palin is able to make such mistakes without fear of exposure on the trail.

So far, I have not seen anyone else I think is up to the task of standing in place of Tim and doing the necessary.

34. Not sure where you've been, but Russert was a full-fledged member of the CorporatePropagandaMinistry

- a MediaWhoreExtraordinaire. He'd be kissing up to Palin as much as the rest of the CPM is currently doing. Hard questions and scrutiny are only for the evil Democrats.

[WheelWalker]

15. Agreed. Positively. She needs to be shunned!

[Sebastian Doyle]

5. It's Colorado Springs. They won't care.

These are the people who live to hear Dobson and Ted Haggard (before he "turned into a Sodomite") speak the same shit every Sunday.

[Rectangle]

33. What happened to Ted Haggard? Did they "De-Gay" him yet??

:rofl: :rofl:

[Starry Messenger]

6. She's spamming!

And why the heck are they in Colorado Springs? Isn't that the heart of Jesusland, USA? Not a lot of fence-sitters I would imagine.

[regnaD kciN]

32. Oh, how I would love to be Dick Tuck...

...(the legendary anti-Republican prankster of the '50s and '60s) covering this election. I'd send out a group dressed as Monty Python vikings, and, whenever she started in on the same old speech, start singing "Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam..." ;-)

[Starry Messenger]

37. That would be incredible.

I think ridicule will be her eventual undoing anyway. They can't keep up the facade for long.

7. Colorado Springs a Mecca for Evangelical Christians

You think they care one way or the other now that they got their voice on the ticket?

[GrizzlyMan]

19. I've been there many times, it is truly a cesspool of hatred

[Arugula Latte]

26. I've been there and we call it "The Four Cs"

Christians, Cadets, Cowboys, and Conservatives

Scaryass place, that's for sure.

[ITsec]

25. Home of James Dobson

Dominionist heaven.

[XOKCowboy]

35. One of the most beautiful cities in the world...

but thanks to the fundies and retired military it's Ferarri Red. There is also Will Perkins, the driving force behind the anti-gay Amendment 2 that was briefly a Colorado law in the 1990s. He coined the term "special rights". I just hope people don't think that it's all closed minded bigots there though. It's just down the road from Denver and I do a lot of work there. As usual there are a lot of working people servicing those in power who don't share their views. We just take their money. :)

About that beauty. With Pikes Peak looming it was a picture postcard city. I mean when the sun rises and hits Pikes Peak and the foothills it's a beautiful sight! So what do they do? Start up an ugly strip mine in the foothills that is visible from all over town, especially from I-25 as you come in from the north. Typical.

[Skidmore]

8. A few more of these and the media will start cutting away.

[KharmaTrain]

36. Bingo!

She's being staged and manipulated and the mediatypes following her around will tired quickly...especially if she doesn't give some new red meat.

She can only hide for so long and stump speeches sound get stale quickly. Her honeymoon is coming to an end and if she stays scripted, she will be ignored.

[K8-EEE]

9. OMG are the Repukes still laughing at the same jokes?

Please tell me she's not still doing the Pitbull/lipstick thing.....

[begin_within]

10. Is she reading it with her fingers, like yesterday?

[City Lights]

14. McCane and Half-Baked are playing the media like a fiddle.

They are enabling this charade of a ticket. Oh how I wish they'd grow a spine and tell the Deflated Duo that they won't give their circus stunt free air time until Half-Baked faces the media unscripted.

The media enable boosh in 2000 and 2004 and look what it got us. :mad:

[Cassandra]

16. Give her a break!

She's trying to learn something about America and foreign policy. You can't expect her to learn a whole new speech. Her brain might explode.

[JaneQPublic]

20. Is she still running her finger over her lines as she reads them from the page?

I couldn't believe that when I saw her speak yesterday in Wisconsin. It's apparently just a string of word to be recited without even registering in her brain.

[Arugula Latte]

24. I wonder if my crazyass fundy Colorado Springs relative is in the crowd.

I'll probably never know, since I have next to no communication with her. :)

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. Didn't you get the memo? - LEave Sarah Alone!

[FlaDem83]

28. She's a one trick moose.

[Cha]

29. Touche'!

:toast:

[JBoy]

30. She's like a Dexie's Midnight Runners concert. Just keep playing "Come on Eileen"

On edit: She's more like Vanilla Ice.

[regnaD kciN]

31. Most likely...

...she'll keep giving the same speech, the Corporate Media will dutifully air a small clip of it (only establishing that she gets applause, because of course "the public loooooves Sarah!") and only those of us on progressive blogs will note it's the same damn boilerplate, day after day.

In any event, it doesn't really matter. Despite rumors of "Palin-mania," it would appear that she has little or no effect on people's votes for President. She's a sideshow, nothing more.
