Here's video of the hilariously bad Palin/Couric interview

[Seen the light]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbg6hF0nShQ

Even worse than the Charlie Gibson one.

[Obamarulz11]

1. Thanks!! this is the first time I knew about this

[neverforget]

2. In what respect, Charlie?

[bjobotts]

117. She really is a fake and phony and really just not all that bright.Bumper sticker mentality

[Obamarulz11]

3. What is the deal with Palin's vocabulary

Rick Davis recused! huh

[TheBigotBasher]

25. I was wondering about that as well.

The line seems very rehearsed.

I also wondered when the post was going on about Couric and the RNC number 2 where was Bono!

[patrice]

46. Me too. Recusal is relative to jurisprudence only isn't it?

[renie408]

31. It's the trap that uneducated people find themselves in when they try to sound

smarter than they are. They use words that they think makes them sound smart, but get the meaning or pronunciation slightly off and come off looking like idiots.

[Iris]

92. wake me up when she starts using "myself" and "I" as objects.

[Tallison]

126. YES, and I hate the pretense

The best book on it so far is "Junk English," by Ken Smith. It's about people who talk without saying anything at all. 'Business' types, who substitute ideology for logic, are the worst culprits. Symbolic logic taught me that good writing and speaking is an extension of coherent thinking, without which you wind up sounding like Sarah Palin, and she is excruciating to listen to.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. She's looking down at the ground when answering the question!

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK SHE IS TALKING ABOUT.

[curious one]

41. I thought she was reading from cue cards!

[SoonerPride]

5. Someone should screen capture Katie's face. She hates Palin and you can tell.

She looks at her with utter disgust and contempt in all the reaction shots.

Hilarious.

[kevin881]

11. I saw that as well. -nt

[mamalone]

50. Yes!

I have never seen her look at anyone like that before... "Churlie" kind of had that same look as well. Well, not the same look- his expression was more one of horror and revulsion,lol. I get the impression that these folks spend time with her, actually get to know her a bit and just can't believe what they are seeing.

[Daemonaquila]

106. There's a thought balloon over her head in every shot...

"You've GOT TO BE f'ing kidding! My clueless intern would be better VP material."

[Esra Star]

115. Is this the look?

[EnviroBat]

148. She's thinking....

"This bitch couldn't run a cash register at WalMart. VP my sweet ass..."

[Bette Noir]

154. And Katie is the fluffy bunny of journalism!

Can you imagine what KO would do to her?

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. Put it in DU's video section also and provide a link

great find

[Seen the light]

8. Done!

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. Put your DU link in your OP too..... I commented on it there also

[jazzjunkysue]

7. Couric is looking at her like she's trying to sell her a dead rat.

"I certainly hope that that's the case."

She's terrified, and desperate.

Couric is disgusted. Talking to her like Palin's a naughty 2nd grader.

Couric usually worships reuglicans.

[Erin Elizabeth]

53. Couric looked like she smelled a fart the whole time.

ROFL I was dying laughing.

[ecstatic]

99. I LOVE Couric now! Consider me a fan! And the fake smiles

at the end were priceless!

[bjobotts]

118. Palin certainly didn't expect to be challenged or get follow up ques.

[bjobotts]

119. When Couric refuted her assessment that Americans were waiting on JM

Palin looked stunned. She didn't know how to continue that transparent lie.

[ecstatic]

149. If she had left that nasty line out, Couric would have gone easier on her

Palin does herself NO favors when she is nasty for no reason.

[DWilliamsamh]

161. Don't get carried away... even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again.

And Palin is DEFINITELY A nut - maybe less so now that the witch hunter has anointed her.

[Beaverhausen]

9. She can barely walk and talk at the same time

this is too funny!

[Meshuga]

10. Painful to watch

She looks like a fool. Jeebus!

[tilsammans]

12. OMG, the woman is barely coherent

" . . . I'll bring 'em to ya."

:puke:

[Cha]

61. tucker bounds shoulda tried that one with

Campbell Brown.

[democracy1st]

13. this is sad

[RollWithIt]

14. Bitch used the financial crisis politicaly, said people in Amarika only care about McCain's plan....

And "what he may do."

[pnwmom]

20. And Couric called her on it, pointing out that this is helping Obama,

not McCain.

[endthewar]

15. Bwahahahaha! She got called out on Rick Davis' lying!

:rofl:

[nam78_two]

16. This person is unbelievably stupid-Bush seems sharp by comparison.nt

[pnwmom]

17. Good job, Katie!

A good, serious interview.

[rurallib]

93. didn't know she had it in her.

[mokawanis]

18. palin has now reached the place where she can't even articulate rehearsed talking points

[JimWis]

19. Oh my god - she knows less about the government and her own

running mate, then any average person on the street. Thanks for the post. I have been trying to find this interview.

[Starlight]

77. That was my reaction to her "executive experience."

WTF? Half the people I know have more "executive experience" than that rube. :eyes:

[Jackeens]

21. She's much more impressive in this video (link)

http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=r0rqk7n8ltA

[pnwmom]

24. It's not nice to make fun

of chipmunks.

;)

[patrice]

26. ROFLMAO!!!!! (And I want you to know that's the FIRST time I've ever said that.)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jackeens]

28. Leave a comment! I've been.....

....rejecting hate comments from Palin devotees all day!!

[patrice]

39. DUn! And Thanks!

[Jackeens]

49. I LOVE YOU!!!!!! (n/t)

[joshcryer]

36. Heh. Man. It's so bad in video. I didn't think it could be that bad.

[mamalone]

54. My 9yo son said this is **hilarious**!

and he is absolutely right:rofl:

[patrice]

22. weak

[Cosmic Charlie]

23. now that's good TV! look at the repuke squirm....

[OmahaBlueDog]

29. ..again, my understanding is he recused himself from the dealings

Well, I guess that answers the whole conflict of interest question.

[Lars39]

30. You can tell she's got a temper, you can see it just under the surface

as the questions got a little more pointed.

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. If you ever taught school.... you've meet these students in your class

who forgot to do their homework and then makes up shit.

[Grateful for Hope]

40. Yes

I think she was very angry when she made that last comment.

[ContinentalOp]

71. LOL! You are so right.

"Well, it's my understanding that the verbiage in To Kill a Mockingbird was such that the author's intention, in terms of what the reader should take away from that verbiage, was to communicate those ideas contained within that author's intention and to really let the reader know: hey, this is what I'm trying to say."

[Ichingcarpenter]

88. You must have taught also!!! LOL

[ContinentalOp]

89. Haha, no. But I've been in the classroom with plenty of these Palin types. -nt-

[daveskilt]

144. or the old change it to a question you know trick

Macbeth's dilema at this point is much like that of hamlet had he been born in denmark instead. Hamlet is confronted with a question that.....

[Buck Rabbit]

79. An oral book report on a book they didn't read.

Thank you, that is what it reminded me of. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

[hedgehog]

103. That's it! That's what i was trying to put my finger on!

She makes up stuff as she goes along and we're supposed to just believe whatever nonsense she spouts!

[Joe the Revelator]

108. I might need to start watching Couric

Those were great clips.

[Gman]

33. I actually started feeling sorry for Palin

for a split nano-second and recovered to be scared shitless while realizing that if McCain wins, she has a 1 in 3 chance of stepping into the Oval Office as president before McCain's term is over.

[Barrymores Ghost]

34. Another 5.5 minutes of my life I'll never get back. n/t

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

35. K&R. Amused here.

[trueblue2007]

68. KICK & RECOMMEND. And, read the McCain ditches Letterman Interview

McCain/Palin is going to Hell in a handbasket.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

85. Have one of those Hand basket to Hell stickers on the

bumper. Funny how no one has picked up a fight with me yet. 3 months running...

[aein]

37. I feel really sorry for her. She is completely out of her league.

[City Lights]

38. Oh. My. Gawd. Reading the transcript of this just doesn't cut it.

Gotta watch the video! Thanks for the link!

[ronnykmarshall]

42. She's scared shitless!

Go Katie!!!

[Erin Elizabeth]

43. She just repeats herself when she doesn't know

what to say. Bush league!

[Erin Elizabeth]

45. Oh and I love how Couric looks at her like she's a dipshit

and I don't like Couric, either.

[medicswife]

90. First time in my life I've felt respect for Katie.........

She may have just salvaged her job.

Great job, Katie!!!!!!

But, then again, Palin makes it sooooooooooooo easy.
:rofl:

She hates Obama too, you could see that too, it wasn't just political rhetoric, she has serious evil in her heart for him.

[lonestarnot]

74. Must be that beauty pageant training!

:rofl:

[lolamio]

44. Did she lick her finger and hold it up in the air?? This has turned into the theater of the absurd.

:eyes:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

67. She was hailing a cab to take her away.

[PerfectSage]

47. Woot Palin is going to get an ass kicking in the VP debate.

Assuming McCain let's her debate.

[Erin Elizabeth]

52. OMG she is SO going to be stomped.

I mean so badly, I nearly felt sorry for her for just a half a second there. That's just ANSWERING QUESTIONS, not debating. Can you even imagine???

[high density]

64. How can these idiots continue pushing the "he's a maverick" thing?

Their VP pick can't name ONE thing that he's done under this label!

[KT2000]

48. No wonder McC suspended

his campaign. This is frightening.

She doesn't seem to realize how inadequate she is. She thinks people will believe her Snow Job BullShit (SJBS).

[NYDem Observer]

51. After seeing that I definitely think McCain's suspension

is linked. He needs to take the focus off of the Palin interview and this was probably the best way to do it. She was embarrassingly bad!

[Max_powers94]

55. Couric hard look

[Bjorn Against]

57. Great picture

:rofl:

[lordcommander]

70. Thats Classic

:rofl:

[Doityourself]

80. Lmaooooooo!

[aaronbees]

83. Bwahahaha

I LOVE that! :D

[Number23]

95. Ahahaha!!!!

HAHAHAHA!!!

:spray: :rofl: :spray: :rofl:

Actually it looks likes she's thinking:

"Heffa, if these cameras weren't recording me right now it would be ON."

[rurallib]

96. If I had an extra doozy I give it to you for that picture

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

[Ichingcarpenter]

98. Funny........and true..... she even knew it was lame. n/t

[BeyondGeography]

138. She shot her a few classic WTF looks in that interview

[Midlodemocrat]

147. LOL. That is perfect.

:rofl:

[jazzjunkysue]

166. ROFL! She makes all women look stoopid.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

56. *(:-())

[vaberella]

58. She's wow...the best gift to Progressives. Thank McCain for her...n/t

[AspenRose]

59. Oh. My. Goodness.

Man, that was painful to watch...that's a hurtin' kind of clueless right there :dunce:

[Seen the light]

60. This could be a Rovian ploy you know

She's intentionally looking like a dumbass for some brilliant Rove reason you know. :sarcasm:

Just surprised no one has mentioned that so far in this thread though.

[high density]

62. This is a female version of Bush

Very scary.

[ContinentalOp]

75. Bush actually went to Yale and Harvard and got an MBA. She is frighteningly sub-Bushian.

He's a moron and an asshole, but ultimately a good puppet for his corporate masters.

She's a totally frightening brain-dead fundy drone that would lead our country into WWIII if she had the chance.

[Lochloosa]

63. FUCKING MUST READ

What an idiot.

[ContinentalOp]

65. God she's great. Her verbiage is so multifaceted. -nt-

[jenmito]

66. Is that all there is? 5 min.?

[Doityourself]

69. He Re-koosed himself!!! heavens!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

72. You must say though, she makes Katie Couric look like a rocket scientist! lol!

[gabby garcia]

86. McCain should seriously pull a switcheroo there.

[Kierkegaard]

133. And THAT takes some doing!

Caribou Barbie is just an abyss of vacuity. (Ms Palin, if you're reading this, I'll be glad to interpret for you.)

[MellowDem]

73. Awesome

And Couric actually asked some tough questions, I am proud of her!

Seriously though, this is sad. Someone like her is obviously not qualified, she's embarrassing herself. Yet there is a sense of pleasure when I see her stammer and say stupid stupid answers. How she kept on saying she hoped McCain's campaign advisor was not connected to Fannie was just hilarious. That will come back to bite them.

[CakeGrrl]

128. It was totally worth it to see that "Convention smug" wiped off her face. n/t

[Arrowhead2k1]

76. She repeated the answer twice in the first question word for word.

Didn't even manage to properly answer the question. Proof that she merely has her shitty talking points memorized. What a fucking joke!

[SallyMander]

78. HOLY GOD THAT WOMAN IS AN IDIOT

:o

[lonestarnot]

81. Doing lipstick justice. Come one now, she can't help it.

:rofl:

[gabby garcia]

82. was this televised and when???

even I am stunned at her inability to articulate a coherent, much less cohesive sentence.

epic fail.

[medicswife]

84. I didn't think anything could get worse than "In what respect, Churlie?"

But, it sure as hell did. Oh Jeez. She is a fucking disaster.

[BklynChick]

87. I'm terrified.

[asdjrocky]

91. "I'll try to find some and I'll bring 'em to ya."

This could be the leader of the free world? Kill me now.

[nadine_mn]

121. I think she "blinked" and you know... you cant blink

ffs...I'll bring em to ya - nice multifaceted verbage (sic) there

[terrya]

127. No kidding.

To offer this barely literate woman as a possible President of the United States is nothing short of obscene.

[ecstatic]

94. OMG the ending was priceless. ROFL! nt

[rurallib]

97. "McCain has a track record". Let's start with the Keating five, ok Sarah?

Now that's a track record no one else in congress has. Bribed and still there. Running for pres, even

[Ichingcarpenter]

102. McCain has a track record" and "I have a road to nowhere"

sort of sums up the whole campaign.

[PA Democrat]

100. O.M.G. Katie Couric was obviously NOT impressed.

The more I see of Palin, the more I see how she is in so far over her head that all she does is rack her frazzled little brain for some sound bite or cliche that she has been spoon fed that MAY match the question asked.

[oioioi]

101. "I'll try to find ya some and I'll bring 'em to ya."

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[RufusTFirefly]

113. Gallows humor, perhaps...

... but I couldn't help myself from laughing out loud when she said that.

Appalling. She even made Katie Couric appear to have some gravitas. Now that's quite a feat!

[all.of.me]

104. JohnMcCain - Is that one word?

Couric looks incredibly bored. She probably went backstage and cracked up, though.

[patrice]

105. You can see that Couric intimidates Palin without speaking a word.

[JeffR]

107. She's a fraud.

She's a stuffed blouse. She's a gimmick. She's a phony. She's a joke.

I think that covers it...

[Warren Stupidity]

109. OMG 1.30 in and she went incoherent

And the Couric was forced to actually sandbag her for lying about 'what people want'.

[ladywnch]

110. LMAO she's just pitiful, pitiful, pitiful!!!

she's actually getting worse instead of better at these things. I wouldn't have believed that to be possible!

[joop]

111. they need to just put a gag on her

she cannot be allowed to speak in public. How thoroughly embarrassing. I loved Katie's expressions. Whoa. I thought she was lame after "In what respect, Charlie" but this is just stunning. Thanks for the link

[bobd0]

112. I started to watch it. I tried. Really. I just can't listen to that idiot Palin.

I can't believe there is one single solitary voter that would cast a ballot for McCain/Palin. I really can't. It just offends reason.

[frog92969]

114. No wonder they dissabled the comments on youtube

Palin is really a blessing to Democrats, McSame has indeed found his soul mate.

[2Design]

116. this must be why mccain blew letterman off - this is ground control

I stated this in another thread - this is so terrible he must of needed to go on couric show instead of Dave and Dave showed him over there with couric after he told Dave he could not make his show

[HCE SuiGeneris]

120. Such as and the Iraq and the such as...

[Binka]

130. Holy Fucking Shit!

It is 5:49 in the morning and I am trying to catch up before Peyton wakes up BUT this had me HOWLING! Such as The Iraq....Such as the recuse, recuse, recuse. Jesus Gawd these people are dumber than a pail of peanuts.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

155. Hope that laughter sticks with you all day!

Lord knows we need it to get through the copious amounts of BS thrown our way. :hi:

[OakCliffDem]

122. Kick

[cboy4]

123. Frightening

[Indenturedebtor]

124. Oh man she can't even win at softball and she wants to play the world series?

You have got to be kidding me!

[Political Tiger]

125. She would have been better

..if she was speaking in tongues.....and would have made more sense!

[Vinca]

129. Which is more terrifying? The economy or the prospect of Sarah Palin as VP?

Good god - this gives new meaning to the phrase "dim bulb." This lady should be managing Girl Scout cookie sales and that's about it.

[Ioo]

131. If they do not buy it the first time you say it, say it again and again

NEVER deviate from the line Karl's folks have given you.

[workinclasszero]

132. Palin: Dick Cheney with lipstick

She makes Bush look like an intellectual giant!:crazy:

[wysimdnwyg]

134. One thing I noted

While it's not considered a foolproof "tell", she looks to the left a LOT. This is often considered a sign of lying.

(A good description is that looking to the right while answering a question indicates one is trying to remember something for the answer. Looking to the left indicates one is making stuff up.)

[Jackeens]

135. Palin sounds better in this version (LINK)

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GbovRsFE1-c

[Jennicut]

136. OMG, I am wathcing this right now. Her voice is shaking.

She is so nervous she cannot handle a softball interview with KATIE COURIC of all people! Recusal? She acted like she could barely say the word. If she has a speech she can memorize it and give it but in an interview. I will try to find some examples and I'll bring em too ya". Oh my dear lord.

[Th1onein]

137. "I'll try to find ya some and I'll bring 'em to ya."

Jesus, what an idiot.

[whopis01]

151. That was the best line of the whole thing! n/t

[enuegii]

139. I dislike the woman intensely, but

I tried to watch the clip twice and couldn't do it. It was, I don't know... just too painful. Maybe my schadenfreude capacity is low today.

[tnlurker]

140. thanks, I'll see later

[PinkSunset]

141. The blank stare really scared me..

She is absolutely clueless to the max! I asked my husband..Did she really repeat the same answer verbatim? It's sad to say, but Bush is smarter.

[chatnoir]

142. They turned the comments off - what a pity!

I wish I could have read some before they did away with them!

[Native]

145. CBS still has it up & you can read 222 pages of comments

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/24/eveningnews/main4476173.shtml
was obviously freeped at the start

[ecstatic]

150. Thanks! Didn't know there was a part 2! nt

[chatnoir]

167. "McCain Palin - Dumb and Dumber" Excellent, thank you for the link!

That was the 2nd comment when I read, so I hope not too freeped!

[Native]

143. I'm wondering if she really understood the moratorium on foreclosures question

[EnviroBat]

146. I find it funny how even YouTube is protecting this vapid

piece of garbage from public opinion by disabling comments. She is a complete asshole. I love to see her squirm.

[penndragon69]

157. Absolutly

You tube is showing their bias by disabling the comments.

But could anyone's comments be worse than this bumbling Moose Turds own comments?

[Jackeens]

159. She's not protected EVERYwhere on YouTube! (LINK)

http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=7rZgyrfbC20

[TooRaLoo]

162. I think that whoever posts the videos has the option of turning the comments off.

Not Youtube's doing.

edited for Palin grammar. Oops.

[TooRaLoo]

163. dupe

[whopis01]

152. You know I actually am starting to feel a bit sorry for her.

I mean, she just clearly doesn't know any better. McCain's campaign people obviously told her that she was what they needed to win the election... and what was she going to do? Argue with them about it? She doesn't know any better - she has gotten as far as she has in politics without having to understand a damn thing about what is relevant, so why should that matter now? In some weird way, it really isn't her fault - people voted for her and selected her and nominated her. Who's the bigger idiot in all of this?

[kirby]

156. She doesnt feel sorry for you, keep that in mind... n/t

[Native]

168. Don't forget - she is a journalist - she knew full well what she was getting into . . .

and made the decision to go for it, knowing full well she wasn't qualified and knowing what she'd be dragging her family through. Considering all the issues her family was/is dealing with, not exactly a protective mother bear type. I believe she knew the consequences of her choice before making that choice. She may not be very intelligent, but she is obviously very driven & vindictive.

[Bette Noir]

153. Flop sweat.

Priceless.

[sasquatch]

158. Holy Jesus, she IS Dan Quayle in drag

:wow:

[obiwan]

160. What A Douchebag!

Imagine her with her finger on the button.

[TooRaLoo]

164. Man, this is BAD. No wonder they won't share her with the press.

She is feckin' TOAST, broken-toaster-style.

[jane_pippin]

165. Holy god. She's a fackin' nuht!*

:rofl: :rofl:

oh man. I was going to say, at a minute in, it was the stupidest interview ever, but then she said that.

God is she dumb. I mean she's not just "spouting--I mean spoutin' sorry--talking points inane," she's just cold dumb.

Oooh, there's more! He's a maverick, that McCain. "Takin' shats from his party, takin shats from other party..."

Hahahahaha.

Hooo! My sides. Say hi to Aurora Borealis and Russia for me when you're sent home in November. Hope you liked seein' the big tall buildin's on your trip to the big city.


*fuckin' nut
