My wife and I just watched the Couric interview - and after it was over she said

[cliffordu]

"She sounds just like a temp"

My wife used to work as a temp on occasion.....

I snorted and the lovely said "She looks just like the times I was left on the front desk with NO orientation or even a phone list to consult and how many times I had to answer just that way so I could say SOMETHING..."

[begin_within]

1. Well she is just a temp, isn't she?

[cliffordu]

2. lol...

:rofl:

[firedupdem]

3. Your wife is right! I know exactly what she's talking about....

I was thinking about when I was about 21 and went on a job interview that I shouldn't have been on...I probably sounded something like her...just rambling off shit and including buzz words..

[ErinBerin84]

4. but....Laura Bush says that she's a quick study!

Does anyone remember the movie Don't tell Mom, the Babysitter's Dead? "I'm right on top of that, Rose!"

[grantcart]

5. you married a snarkologist

BTW if you want to have some fun rerun the interview and listen to it without and video.


She really does sound like a temp and Katie Couric sounds like a potential candidate for VP

[cliffordu]

9. Couric DOES sound like the candidate....sheit...katie makes more sense that either of them.

[patrice]

6. She sounds exactly like an interview-ee who is not qualified for the job she's interviewing for.

7. It's amazing to me that they have lowered the bar so much... n/t

16. After using the chimp as a test case, I think they thought they

could get away with anything.

What's really frightening is that millions of people will still vote for that ticket - a doddering old guy who is afraid to debate and the no-nothing vp the neocons stuck him with.

8. McLiar's campaign must be terrified of letting her out to the press

While coaching her it probably became apparent, albeit too late, that Sarah is a few freedom fries short of a Happy Meal.

[cliffordu]

10. ROFL>>>>>>.

:rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. Reminded me of students I've had that didn't prepare for their oral exams

"Well, it's my understanding that the verbiage in the constistution 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."

[JenniferJuniper]

12. Or a befuddled beauty pageant contestent......

"I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so, because, is that some people out there, in our nation, don't have maps, and I believe that our education, such as South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like, such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here, in the US should help the US, or um should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children."

[cliffordu]

13. That will follow that poor girl for the rest of her life. Remember to hydrate, kids...

it could save your youtube career.....

[billyoc]

14. At least she tried to say SOMETHING! Not "I'll get back to you"

:rofl:

BTW, I can see why you're still married. :hi:

[cliffordu]

15. Yep.....She's da bomb, as they say......

And after 25 years ya'd think I haven't stopped laughing with (and at) her....

[ContinentalOp]

17. Hmm... I call plagarism on that one.

:mad: :P

19. I'm a substitute teacher. Last year I subbed for a couple of days

in an "Honors" English high school class. Students take "Honors" because they think it looks good on their transcripts - not because most of them can actually hack it. What you came up with sounds exactly like the crap those kids were writing in their essays - a bunch of useless gibberish they spat out hoping to hoodwink the teacher.

[K8-EEE]

18. OMG I so relate, she's totally right. (I was a "floater")

That's kind of like being a permanent temp! You work for the same company every day but you're always filling in for somebody, like a house temp I guess. I did that 20 years ago at Paramount Studios, it was the HARDEST job I ever had because I never was around any dept. long enough to know what the hell I was doing.

[dbmk]

20. I said the same thing in another thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7173305&mesg_id=7173592

She seriously sounds like she is faking it 80% of the time.
