My Thoughts On The Palin Radio Prank |
|
I'm glad those guys punk'd her like that but they did a terrible job
he was hard to understand(which gives her an out) and the guy kept cutting her off to ask another question. He should of let her talk. That's when she hangs herself.
and the questions were pretty dumb - they could have done her in by making up more fake world leaders and events and then let her pontificate on how much she knows about these fictional subjects
I'm glad they did it but they blew an amazing opportunity
Now, to many , she comes off as cute and a good sport (as they portrayed her on The Today Show) instead of the rube she is.

How can they play her off as a good sport? Once she finds out if was a prank you can tell she's at a loss for words. She hands the phone off to someone else. I imagine her screaming and pitching a fit once the phone call is over. lol And you KNOW that girl that handed her the phone.. she's out looking for a J O B today.

4. Her spokesperson's comment on it was C'est la vie. The Today Show only aired |
|
a couple of the least damaging parts of the call. She still sounded like a total ditz.

2. I couldn't disagree any more with you. I think they did a fantastic job and the accent |
|
was at least for me, easy to understand.
She showed her total lack of comprehension, her blatant ignorance, and her inability to diplomatically talk to a head of state.
The Today Show cherry picked the least damaging parts of the call, and then spinned into she was a good sport.
The clips on youtube are viral...at least 2 million hits on the original and mirrors, and it will double by tomorrow. People will know what the truth is.

14. There might have been a time constraint and they wanted to get in as much as they |
|
could of their script. They damaged her more than enough.
The vast majority of comments on youtube have been scathing.

15. The fact that they got through did that... |
|
He invited her to go hunting from a helicopter and then wouldn't let her answer - I wanted to hear that answer

Methinks this was an inside job...someone had to have handed her the phone and "prepped" her that it was Sarkhozy calling...that this stunt was set up in advance and timed to embarass her during the final days. Either this was planted by one of Gramp's people to "teach" her for going too rogue or my other bets is from some of Mittens people inside Camp Gramps who see her as a threat to their 2012 plans.
I don't see this as a blow opportunity...it cemented the opinion most people in this country have that Bible Spice is a vapid prom queen...and extremely gullible. Playing a good sport? She sounded like a high shool kid giddy they were talking with someone famous. When she was told she was punked, she sure didn't sound like she was too amused.

12. I've mentioned it a few of my posts in the last week, that there is someone inside |
|
the campaign that is deliberately sabotaging her.
If that call looks like a set-up..check this out ..Someone scheduled her big speech on energy policy, talking about drill, baby, drill, at a solar panel company.
Very little has been said about that.
Then you have the speech in Erie congratulating them for the Phillie's win. Dig, baby, dig (for coal) in Virginia Beach. Even having her appear on SNL, where the dissed her right in her face. People called her a "good sport" to for that, but her jaw was clenched.
I think that the prospect of a Palin Presidency scares someone on the campaign to death.

6. If she ever runs for elected office do you think the call may be used in ads? |

It will confirm to anyone who doesn't realize it already that she is dumber than a bag of hammers.
Won't be any good sport stuff.

Suppose they had said something like, "You are no doubt aware of the troubles on the border of Congo and Bosnia. Rebel Hutus, we believe funded by Ceylon's King Annushka, have set fire to the Senegalese ports on the Yangtse, which divides Congo and Bosnia. This jeopardises the flor or coal, oil, and tranya from western Europe. We would like to pledge support to our allies, and would appreciate knowing we have an ally in the new White House. We already have the backing of President Mitterand of Poland." It would have been fun to hear Palin say that she has been following the situation and pledges the help of the United States.

17. Can you imagine that these comedians |
