Media Coward Palin Whines Obama Not Given Tough Enough Questions

[Swede]

Bonus: Sean Hannity saying of Obama regarding his birth certificate - “yet again. He just can’t seem to stop talking about it.”


Sarah Palin was in a hypocritical snit that NBC’s Brian Williams didn’t ask President Obama tough enough questions in their interview Sunday night. Talking about it on Hannity on Monday (8/30/10), Palin sneered about the “mainstream, lamestream media” not asking “those basic questions” by which she meant that Williams should have grilled Obama for saying, “a mechanism, a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly… I can’t spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.” Yes, the same Sarah Palin who hides from that “lamestream” media and only seems willing to “discuss” policy by posting on Facebook (where she can’t be questioned), who can’t take it when Bill O’Reilly challenges her, whose demands at her speaking engagements include pre-approved questions only, pre-approval of any media attendance at least 10 days in advance, and recording by the media of no more than three minutes of any speech which is to be used for B-roll footage only – that Sarah Palin is whining that the media needs to be more aggressive - well, with Barack Obama.

1. Hypocrite! Walk the walk, Lady Blah Blah

Mrs Palin's public speaking requirements, reminiscent of those drawn up by rock star managers on behalf of their more demanding protégés, were included on the pages of a five-page contract allegedly found by Californian students in a bin.

Mrs Palin, 46, whose standing as John McCain's vice-presidential candidate in 2008 was badly damaged when she stumbled over simple questions put to her by news anchor Katie Couric, also stipulates that all audience questions must be vetted.

"For Q&A, the questions are to be collected from the audience in advance, pre-screened, and a designated representative ... shall ask questions directly of the Speaker to avoid delay time with a roving microphone in the audience," the contract states in a clause highly unusual for a politician

2. From somebody who couldn't answer what she read on a regular basis

5. Exactly....

what I was about to say. She has got some damn nerve,I waited and waited for the media to ask this bitch some real questions with follow ups and they did nothing but ask nicey,nicey bullshit questions.

Meanwhile,Obama had to gain approval from every damn whitestream organization and answer every damn question in the book. I remember when he went to APIAC and for some of them the answers still weren't good enough.

Now,they are complaining about him not going to Israel since being Pres as I recall the last time he was there the assholes,disrespected him by taking his message out of the wailing wall and reading it..

3. "Mr. President, What newspapers or magazines do you read?"

Obama, "In what respect Charlie?

:rofl:

[no_hypocrisy]

4. "Mr. President, what newspapers do you read . . . . . . "

[tanyev]

6. Somebody please ask her how much money it would take for her to stay in Alaska and STFU.

Seriously, I would donate if she would really do it.

[IggleDoer]

7. Enough of this "lamestream" stuff

She makes fun of the media with her "lamestream" pun.

I am a disabled veteran and I object to the term "lame" when used to make fun of a group of people. It is just as insulting as her fake indignation when someone uses the term "retarded."

Would it be wrong to call Sarah "retarded" for insulted our veterans this way? Why does Palin hate the military?

8. They probably should have asked what he reads.

That was a mighty tough question for Mrs. Palin.

[HipChick]

9. From someone who hides from media unless its Faux with softball questions..

[Caliman73]

10. She is nothing is not consistent in her hypocrisy

Nt.

[gophates]

11. Maybe they should ask him what newspapers he reads. nt

[Angry Dragon]

12. I saw a lot of posts here about newspapers

Perhaps she has trouble reading above grade school level so it is hard for
her to read and understand complex ideas.

Give her a break, she working up to her full potential.

13. She's like a bad sniper

Always missing her target and always shooting from some faraway bushes somewhere.

[Raschel]

14. I think all of that hairspray did a lot of damage.

But I am taking Palin's and Beckkk's traveling hate show seriously.

Who the hell does she think she is questioning a man like the President.

She will never be near his level of intelligence or class.

That tacky grifter.

[undeterred]

15. They should have asked him his opinion on Supreme Court cases

since Palin did so well with that question. :sarcasm:

16. Chutzpah

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chutzpah

Chutzpah (pronounced /ˈhʊtspə/) is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. The word derives from the Hebrew word ḥuṣpâ (חֻצְפָּה), meaning "insolence", "audacity", and "impertinence." The modern English usage of the word has taken on a wider spectrum of meaning, however, having been popularized through vernacular use in film, literature, and television.

In Hebrew, chutzpah is used indignantly, to describe someone who has over-stepped the boundaries of accepted behavior with no shame.

Someone needs to update Wikipedia with the Wasila hillbillies pic.

Gawd, this woman has no shame. Sorry about such an obvious statement.

17. fuck off, Sarah

Obama could eloquently answer tough questions - YOU cannot even respond coherently to SIMPLE QUESTIONS

[spanone]

18. she who must have questions in advance and still comes off as a dumbass?
