Gov. Palin, what would you do if you got that 3am phone call?

[dem629]

You assemble your national security team right then. And of course, everybody's always going to be standing by, ready to assist. But you do not blink when you have to make a decision to defend on the home front, to defend American lives. And that is, of course, the top of any president and vice presidential team's agenda is to protect American people, so in not blinking there, you -- in assembling your team and your advisers, you make the right call and you make sure that Americans are protected.

Can anyone read that bullshit quote above and actually think she's saying ANYTHING of substance? Jesus, this is almost embarrassing.

[stray cat]

1. Let Joe the Plumber get it?

[Hugin]

5. He's only a Plumber's Helper.

But, then... That might just do the trick.

[stray cat]

12. But I think McCain may make him secretary of state - for the good of the country of course

After all he made a hockey mom VP

[Heather MC]

14. I worked in a hair Salon as a Shampoo Girl with no License, did that make me

Heather the Hairdresser? My dream was to own the shop!

[Hugin]

21. How dare you tempt me with a word with 'Sham' embedded in it during a discussion of Palin's abilitie...

You must be against the First Amendment!

( :rofl: )

[Hugin]

6. .

:dupe:

[NC_Nurse]

2. If you never blink, don't your eyes dry up?

[dkf]

3. I'm surprised they asked her that question.

On the other hand, her answer is typical "Katie interview" quality

[rucky]

So I guess blinking's out of the question.

But how about winking?

[Demi_Babe]

4. almost? Hell...it is embarrassing!

[chelsea0011]

7. She would say, "I told you not to ever call me at my house. What if Todd answered?"

[paparush]

8. "Taaad...TAAAAD!! Answer de goshdarn phone thing wouldja"

[The Brethren]

16. Palin is that you? LOL

What are you doing on DU posing as a Democrat? Oh that's right, you thought it was a wing-nut site. hehehehe

btw paparush, I really like your signature....well put!

[paparush]

17. Hi Brethren...thanks all around. I found that sig here on DU and copied it.

[The Brethren]

25. You're welcome. :-)

I'm stealing the quote as well. ::grin:: I'm half thinking of emailing it to NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) in Colo. Springs, CO, who also ended-up looking like incompetent fools thanks to our government's lame conspiracy (lies).

[TexasObserver]

9. She'd assume it was for Willow, and let Piper get the phone.

[tularetom]

10. It's way beyond almost embarrassing

It's way beyond embarrassing.

It's fucking mind numbing stupidity for which it is utterly impossible for any sentient being to feel anything even approaching embarrassment.

Palin of course, being something other than a sentient being, is incapable of embarrassment itself.

[bluedawg12]

11. You unleash three solid hours of "unblinking"

then follow up with an hour of "group winking", with your national security team and unwaveringly follow any advice from your Joint Chiefs of Staff and call on the military to "stare meaningfully" at the enemy!

If the threat is real, real, serious, then, you unleash your secret "eye rolling - twitching moves" perfected by sen. mclame during the debates. That's called the mclame gambit.

She is soooooooooooo unready.

[TBF]

13. "I need my beauty sleep. God will answer if it's important."

[Zynx]

15. "Doggonit"

[sammytko]

18. would she even be living in Washington?

She'd probably stay in Alaska and charge the government perdiem. She'd have to have those calls forwarded to her cell phone.....

[livetohike]

19. Don't blink there when making a decision, also and too

What an idiot. I can't wait to hear the pundits tell the truth about this moron on November 5. They've been too kind to her. Unprofessional, unsophisticated, embarrassment to all the hard working women out there who have a brain.

[Berry Cool]

20. (on phone) "Hmm...let me assemble my national security team and my advisers

and then I'll get back to ya."

Seriously, if SNL thinks they did a great sketch by parodizing Hillary's idea of what a 3 a.m. phone call would look like as answered by Barack Obama (nervous, chainsmoking and having to call Hillary and ask her what to do--doesn't that notion seem especially absurd now?), they would have comedy gold by having Tina Fey as Sarah Palin answering that call.

"Um, look, it's the end of Daylight Savings Time, doncha know? It's only 2 a.m.!!!!! You're supposed to give me another hour to sleep before it's 3 a.m.!"

[Willo]

22. Read the transcript or watch the video

Some odd interactions with her kids.

[Blue For You]

23. "ummm...this is Levi, is Bristol there?"

[cliffordu]

24. That quote is almost IDENTICAL to Bushism.

[busybl]

26. o' ya know

I'm so used to 3am calls. I'm a mom you know and kids will wake you all the time. So you betcha I know all about those calls. What was the question again? Well, golly, I'm just gonna hafta get back to, yu betcha. wink wink
