After watching a nervous, kinda weird Sarah being interviewed - how can anyone fathom Pres Palin?!
I almost felt sorry for her - this wacko rightie wingnut got a call at 3:00 a.m. and was asked outta the blue, hey Sarah, wanna be a VP?

We know --- we "get it" on why she is a crazy choice, but I'm interested to hear how any swing voter could watch this and feel comfortable with the possibility of President Palin? The evangelicals drank the kool-aid long ago, so they would love her just because....well, just because!

But how can any rational soul, even a swing voter, see this interview and think for a millisecond that she has the wherewithal to be President?! :shrug:

1. Yeah, it's clear that George W. McCain failed the first test of his presidency
John McCain failed the first test of his future presidency. He chose a vapid inexperienced screwball religious extremist because his base is not behind him, but they sure are behind her. Now, he's hiding behind her apron strings because he has nothing at all to offer the country. He comes across on the TV screen like a very creepy version of the Wizard of Oz after Toto pulled away the curtains.


She is not ready to be a heartbeat away from the president, yet McCain chose her for his VP. He failed miserably at his first test. It's as simple as that.

2. My advice, DO NOT FEEL sorry for her. We are talking about an extremely
dangerous person, who under the right circumstances be the end of our Republic

3. she reminds me of nothing so much as the Miss South Carolina contestant..
who, unable to answer a question, just began to spew pretty-sounding syllables ....

except, Ms. Palin expects to be taken seriously and gets incensed when somebody keeps pressing for an answer to a question...


i am terrified of the prospect of 'president palin.' the Palin Administration's first priority aand first cabinet meeting topic will be: "what can we do with the machinery of government and all the power of the U.S. to hasten the rapture?"


and they'll come up with an answer that will be something like : "I know! Let's invade Russia!"

6. The pilots are incapacitated and the plane is dropping like a rock
Let's let the cute kid with plastic junior pilot wings give it a try. What can it hurt?

12. As Bill Maher said the stewardess is flying the plane
That's from Airport 75 when they still called FA stewardess.

11. Not me.

If the retards and mouth breathers come out in force and vote her into office... I think I can arrange to move out of the country.

Enough !!
