Palin Floating In The Ether Again

"I've never met him before, but I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade."

No, that's not someone criticizing Senator McCain. Amazingly, it's Senator McCain's clueless running mate criticizing Senator Biden. Check out the whole ridiculous exchange: http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Palin_explains_comment_about_Bidens_age_0930.html

What in the world is Palin thinking?? This proves that Palin, shall we say, lacks more than a little seasoning. No way is she ready to lead us as President of the United States.

This proves Palin's dumb comment about Russia wasn't a coincidence. As a reminder, Palin was asked by Couric how Palin could say Alaska's proximity to the Russian Far East, which is even more remote than Siberia by the way, could possibly by itself give Palin significant foreign policy experience. Instead of backing off her idiotic statement, Palin responded, well Russia's really close and we have trade missions. We later found out no such trade missions even exist - it was another lie like her lie that she killed the bridge to nowhere that she keeps repeating well after it's been debunked.

Here's what Biden has to do at the debate. Back off. Don't shoot the fish in the barrel. Treat her just like Couric. When your opponent is on self-destruct the last thing you want to do is get in the way.

I don't blame Palin for this. I blame McCain. He never should have picked her. He didn't vet her to see whether she would be so out of her league. It's his fault. He was reckless. He shot from the hip and he lost. Maybe Palin will improve over time - but that will take a several years, not three months.

Here's another one. Palin lied to Couric that Russian fighters overfly Alaskan airspace while she was governor. I have never seen anything like this!

"If Palin knows her talking points, she's needs to merely recite them. There will be no crosstalk like the last debate. This will be like putting duct tape on Biden who takes two paragraphs to say "yes." For Palin, it will be a godsend, as she must merely recite her talking point. I think she has a distinct advantage in that type of format."

It definitely is a format that will help level the playing field in favor of a neophyte and is not conducive to someone who really knows what they are talking about. I don't know how the Democrats agreed to that. I have a funny feeling she will still find a way to screw it up.

((We later found out no such trade missions even exist - it was another lie like her lie that she killed the bridge to nowhere that she keeps repeating well after it's been debunked.))

This should not be shocking to me, but the lies that come out of her and McCain's mouths are worse than Pinocchio's. I saw a sign of Palin with her nose exteded like a hot dog and boy has that image stuck in my head. lol.

And what is with her not being able to name one magazine or paper that she has read? lol.
She's void of a personality...just full of talking points. Just like the doll that repeats catch phrases. Except the doll would be offended. lol.
