Gibberish. The woman just spews out "verbiage" that makes no sense.

Excerpts of the Palin/Hannity interview available now.

http://thepage.time.com/excerpts-from-palins-hannity-interview-part-i/

Here's the first question in the excerpts:

*Mandatory Credit: FOX News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes”

On fixing the economy:
“Through reform, absolutely. Look at the oversight that has been lack, I believe, here at the 1930s type of regulatory regime overseeing some of these corporations. And we’ve got to get a more coordinated and a much more stringent oversight regime…government can play a very, very appropriate role in the oversight as people are trusting these companies with their life savings, with their investments, with their insurance policies, and construction bonds, and everything else.

“When we see the collapse that we’re seeing today, you know that something is broken and John McCain has a great plan to get in there and fix it.”

Oh, golly gee, like the average person is just so worried about their construction bond...

And the "verbiage" quote

On reaction to Obama’s attack on McCain for saying that the “fundamentals” of the economy are strong:
“Well, it was an unfair attack on the verbiage that Senator McCain chose to use because the fundamentals, as he was having to explain afterwards, he means our workforce, he means the ingenuity of the American people. And of course, that is strong and that is the foundation of our economy.”

Painful and awful, even though I'm sure it's a Hannity lovefest.

Waiting to see how she comes across with demeanor and attitude in the real interview. But I don't think any amount of so called folksy charm is going to save her.

[Beaverhausen]

1. McCain's plan? To put together a commission to study it!

he has no plan. What a dunce.

[beac]

21. Oh I DO hope it's a 'blue ribbon' commission!

Commissions are SO much prettier when they are tied up in a lovely blue ribbon!

[oviedodem]

2. John McCain has a plan; you would think that Hannity would then ask

What is the plan?

They have no f****G plan; its so obvious.

[tblue]

7. They probably have ONE guiding principle: No oversight. The rest, well, they'll wing it.

[livetohike]

3. "Oversight that has been lack" !

She is worse than Bush. She's illiterate.

[yardwork]

4. McCain's chief financial adviser CAUSED this disaster! Has she ever heard of Phil Gramm?

This is way beyond spin. This is even beyond lying. This has entered the sphere of delusional.

[Marsala]

24. In Palin's defense

She's probably just flat out ignorant. She has no idea about any of this.

[WinkyDink]

28. Including the name "Phil Gramm".

[Lochloosa]

29. In Palin's defense

SHE DOES NOT DESERVE THE FUCKING JOB. McAsshole has put us in grave danger.

[yardwork]

31. Then she has no business running for vice president.

I wouldn't try to take over the cockpit of an jet by lying and smearing the pilots and then attempt to land it myself. I know that I don't know how to fly.

[Madam Mossfern]

5. Is that in English?

Maybe there was some stuff left out when it was transcribed?

[tblue]

6. "1930s type of regulatory regime overseeing some of these corporations"

The problem, dear Sarah, is that they were NOT overseeing 'these corporations.'

She makes my brain hurt.

[vaberella]

10. You're not the only one. n/t

[blondeatlast]

8. My favorite Palin-droNe, from an obviously set-up reporter's question today...

I mean, I just drop it into conversations at will...

Wait for it...

"..impactful..."

I kid you not. Victim Veep Sanctimonious Sarah Palin said "impactful."

Yessirree; that came right off the cuff, you know it did. Stop laughing; she was SERIOUS.

[DemsUnited]

11. "Impact" must have been her word of the day 'cause she repeats

it at least five times with Hannity.

[blondeatlast]

14. I can practically hear her doing her vocabulary homework, complete with the Marge Gunderson voice:

Take the following words and put them in one long sentence. Make it sound important but there is no requirement for it to make sense to rational people*

Imapct
Regime
Regulatory
1930s

*because we KNOW our base is stupid, but they love to pretend they aren't.

[KansDem]

17. I just checked the OED, vol. VII, pp. 694-95.

Three columns devoted to "impact" but didn't find "impactful" at all.

I might have overlooked it though, the print is rather small...

Not in spellcheck, either.

[yardwork]

32. I'm reasonably sure that there is no such word as "impactful."

I can't even really figure out what it would mean.

[KansDem]

9. But don't forget "everything else"

government can play a very, very appropriate role in the oversight as people are trusting these companies with their life savings, with their investments, with their insurance policies, and construction bonds, and everything else.

Oh, Sarah, please tell us what you mean by "everything else!" :scared:

[ORDem]

30. That's exactly the kind of question Biden needs to throw back at her in their debate, because

she'll do it over and over again. She's exactly like a job interviewee who really doesn't know their stuff. They just throw all sorts of garbage on the wall hoping some of it sticks with the interviewer. Completely, totally incompetent. Who would McCain appoint to his Cabinet, you'd have to wonder? U.S. Treasury: some right-wing creationist from Kansas school board. Etc.

:kick:

[TheCoxwain]

12. Palin is going to have a nice clean shiny ASSHOLE after the interview

Not sure about Sean Hannity's Tongue though.


:puke:

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

13. It is gibberish.

Unfortunately, it reminds me of Bush. And we now know that abject idiocy is no bar to becoming President.

[valerief]

15. Idiocracy talk

Guard: Okay, sir. Now we will begin to proceed to obtain your IQ and aptitude test.
Joe: What for?
Guard: Okay, sir. This is to figure out what your aptitude's good at, and get you a jail job while you're being a particular individual in jail.

[sandnsea]

16. I'll buy your Pepto or your booze

whichever it takes to help you report on this interview because god knows I haven't got the stomach to sit through it.

[vaberella]

18. She uses a lot of words that don't make sense.

I tried going sentence by sentence and still came up lost. The economy statements sounds like verbal diarrhea. The verbiage claim sounds like a high schooler describing a proposal.

[Fridays Child]

19. She let her daughters make the decision about whether she should accept the nomination?

:wow:

“It was a time of asking the girls to vote on it, anyway. And they voted unanimously, yes. Didn’t bother asking my son because, you know, he’s going to be off doing his thing anyway, so he wouldn’t be so impacted by, at least, the campaign period here. So ask the girls what they thought and they’re like, absolutely. Let’s do this, mom.”

[Marsala]

25. Was this before or after she secretly flew them to Ohio...

...without telling them that she had accepted the nomination?

LIAR.

[Fridays Child]

34. Excellent catch! I didn't know she'd said that.

Maybe the quote from this article and the documentation of what she previously said about not telling them should be in a thread all their own. Do you want to start it? Or can you point to where/when she said that she didn't tell them until after she accepted the nomination?

Sarah Palin absolutely personifies the expression, "The way you can tell they're lying is that their lips are moving."

I just found this:

http://www.newsminer.com/news/2008/aug/29/palin-motivated-family-friends-fellow-alaskans/

Ben Porritt, spokesman for the McCain 2008 campaign, said the presidential candidate first met Palin in February 2008 at the National Governors Association meeting in Washington, and was immediately impressed.

In particular, he admired her tenacity and strong reform credentials, Porritt said.

The two spoke on the phone Aug. 24, Palin from the Alaska State Fair in Palmer and McCain at his Phoenix home. McCain’s formal invitation to join the Republican ticket was made on the deck of the family home Aug. 28.

Palin flew with her family in Ohio later that day. The children had been told they were going to Ohio to celebrate their parents’ wedding anniversary, Porritt said, but once there were told their mother would be the vice presidential nominee.

And it doesn't exactly square with this:

http://thepage.time.com/excerpts-from-palins-hannity-interview-part-i/

On her family’s reaction to be picked as the VP nominee:
“It was a time of asking the girls to vote on it, anyway. And they voted unanimously, yes. Didn’t bother asking my son because, you know, he’s going to be off doing his thing anyway, so he wouldn’t be so impacted by, at least, the campaign period here. So ask the girls what they thought and they’re like, absolutely. Let’s do this, mom.”

[chitty]

20. I had to stop reading it.

I kept hearing that voice in my head as I read through that gibberish.

Is that what they mean by speaking in tongues?

[mitchum]

22. Maybe it made more sense in the original Alaskan

[curious one]

23. Another delivery of someone else's writing.

[WinkyDink]

26. Is Palin suggesting GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE in BIDNESS?

COMMIE!!

[Sodan]

27. Fuck Palin, economy is crumbling, Bush AWOL, B.O. gotta take over this shit NOW! /nt

[Skwmom]

33. She is giving people from small towns a bad name. Listening to her, you'd think

people from small towns are stupid and serial liars. What an embarrassment.

[samuraiguppy]

35. I used to think Dan Quayle

was dumb, this bimbo makes him look like a Rhodes Scholar
