In all the excitement of today's news I wonder how many saw the interview with Katie Couric today. Sarah did great. Katie had the nervous blinking syndrome. It was so interesting to watch Katie's reactions to Sarah - between all the blinks - I could sense some real hatred. I enjoyed watching it.

Here it is :

Excellent post, Sandy.

It's really interesting -- in the clips I watched, I thought, Palin looked like a stammering idiot. I didn't see any "You go, girl!" moment. She's had three weeks to prep -- looks like she's not such a quick study, afterall.

Maybe Katie makes Joe so nervous he forgets who was president in '29 when the stock market crashed. LOL

By golly, you're RIGHT! Hoover McBush was President then! It was FDR who had to actually pick up the pieces.

Thanks for the reminder.

Conservative columnist urges Palin to step aside, declares her out of her league
By Associated Press
8:55 PM EDT, September 26, 2008


WASHINGTON (AP) _ A conservative columnist who welcomed Sarah Palin's entry in national politics says she's proven to be a dud and should step aside as John McCain's running mate.

Kathleen Parker, writing in the National Review Online, says her "cringe reflex is exhausted" after watching the Alaska governor stumble through TV interviews and it's become clear to her that Palin is out of her league.

"No one hates saying that more than I do," Parker writes. "Like so many women, I've been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I've also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does."

Palin, new to national politics, boosted Republican presidential nominee John McCain in polls and excited the party's core conservatives when he chose the first-term governor for his ticket. Some of that shine has since worn off in polls.




Parker said she thought Palin was a "refreshing feminist of a different order" when she joined the ticket, but it's become clear she doesn't know enough about economics or foreign policy to be president should that become necessary in a McCain administration.

"Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves," Parker writes. "She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first."

But it took FDR several years for him to fix things, and then unfortunately

Sarah did great.


I wonder if we are talking about the same interview.

I wish Katie had done her homework too, though. All Katie would have needed to come back with when that failed piece of legislation was mentioned is "The Bill was reintroduced in this Congress in April 2007, yet McCain has not co-sponsored it this time. What changed that made McCain think this Bill was not a good idea anymore?"


Then we really would have seen the deer in the headlights...

>You're the one who posed the question...you find the answer.<


Just like I thought--the answer doesn't exist. McCain dropped the ball.


And Obama hasn't proposed 49 such Bills and Resolutions as you seem to suggest. Let's see a few:





15. S.117 : A bill to amend titles 10 and 38, United States Code, to improve benefits and services for members of the Armed Forces, veterans of the Global War on Terrorism, and other veterans, to require reports on the effects of the Global War on Terrorism, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Sen Obama, Barack (introduced 1/4/2007)
