Her response to Katie kind of reminds me of this debacle!!

The comparisons between Palin and Miss Teen SC 2007 are becoming very common.
I wish there was a translator or something for her answer, as I heard nothing but ramblings.
Her answer was incoherent, and didn't even address the question. In simple terms this is what she said:
Q: Why not give this $700B to the people to help with paying their bills instead of to the the corporations that helped create the problem?
A: This bailout will help those concerned with health care reform and emphasize job creation. It'll help reduce taxes, too.
Really, Sarah? We're giving it to the BANKS and FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
Last time I checked they had very little to do with health care reform. They won't take your drycleaning either, before you ask, and they're not very good at bagging groceries, singing or selling cars.
They're BANKS.

A guest on MSNBC was raking her across the coals last night when she stopped and said "Oh! Now I'll get hate mail saying I'm an elitist because I expect her to use nouns, verbs, subjects and objects!"

I honestly feel sorry for her. This is less like Cinderella and more like CARRIE.
If she ends up lighting everybody on fire with her eyes, I'm going to be so pissed.
I don't feel sorry for her at all. She accepted the nomination and whether she fully understood what she was getting into or not, she still had the arrogance to think she was ready for this. She's fair game.

I don't feel sorry for her at all. She entered this fray knowing that her 17 year-old unwed daughter was pregnant. As a parent, I have much sympathy for the daughter, but I hold Palin in low regard.
I don't feel sorry for her either.
I'm just afraid of her. She truly scares me.
"Stupid" scares me a lot, though. More than vampires or werewolves or even zombies.
"If she ends up lighting everybody on fire with her eyes, I'm going to be so pissed."
b12b, too funny!!
I guess now she knows what those Artcic Wolves feel like being chased across the tundra by helicopters without a chance! Bravo media keep it up! Show her for the small town person she is, without the skills or knowledge to be a heartbeat away from the POTUS!
"Small town" has nothing to do with it, SNAFU.
Stupid exists in all Zip codes.
Lord, how I would love to hear Papa's defense of all this.
Damn kids ruin everything!

My thoughts EXACTLY Borstal! "What Would Papa Think?" crosses my mind with every fresh fiasco.
That was Margaret Carlson on MSNBC last night, daringly taking on this unaccomplished medocrity as the frightening disaster she truly is. It's been startling the way Palin has been given time to "prepare" for such a position. Read Carl Bernstein's blistering indictment of McCain for choosing her.
Oh and conservative pundit Kathleen Parker has asked that Palin step down, sooner rather than later. Of course, that means McCain can finally get who he wanted -- Ridge or Lieberman (notice how Joe is front and center these days? Hmmmm) -- and have a shot.
I thought Palin leaving would bring McCain down, but now I think it's the October surprise.
Oh dear God, she speaks Bush. We're all doomed.
Bush vs Sovereignty
McCain is in the tightest of tight spots. Every day she stays in speaks volumes about McCain's poor judgment in choosing her. On the other hand, if he drops her, it might as well be a public admission of his poor judgment in choosing her.
He's actually in similar rock/hard place situations with both the financial crisis and the debate.

Thank you Auggie- that was exactly who I was referring to. I couldn't remember. Thanks!
Oh, I've on doubt that if Palin gets dropped, the whole thing will be spun as "her choice" in order to "focus on her family". McCain will simply be presented as disappointed to be forced to make another, yet equally competent, selection.
I can't translate it.
I never understand what the hell she's trying to say.

My question now is "Who?" If she were to step down who could they possibly replace her with that would satisfy all? It would have to be a VERY conservative woman with impeccable credentials: Is Liddy Dole right-wing enough?
