Let me help you out. Even if there is a smidgen of truth to this, the USA just elected a guy who claimed there were 57 states, who smokes, who claimed “my muslim faith,” and all sorts of misstatements and mistakes that came out in the fatigue of a campaign.
And now don’t get me started on the ridiculous things that came out of Biden’s mouth. He recently had a rambling monologue about women and his sister and how women are weird and different...it was scary and odd and nonsensical.
This stuff happens in endless campaigns.
Now, realize even IF there were truth in this, it is stupidly exaggerated. In an intense prep session, someone wanted her to rapid-fire name countries with muslim leaders, or civil wars, or something like that — and she pops up with Africa making a mistake. Big deal.
As for Cameron’s claim of “tantrums,” give me a break. This is on a McCain campaign — a candidate LEGENDARY for angry meltdowns.
Now — add the ingredient of bitter people who have worked for 2 years for a loss. And they ARE GOING TO BE OUT OF WORK. So they melt down and spin out gossip and get themselves buddy-buddy with reporters and make a name for themselves as a go-to source so they can spin things nicely for themselves or their favorite future candidate.
59, technically.
I believe he said he’d been to 57 and had 2 more to go.
Can’t they come up with something more plausible? Does anyone really believe that?
Well they won’t be able to play that game with Jindal. I am afraid another poster was right, Palin may be QUAYLED whether we like it or not, whether it is fair or not.
If Romney is behind this SH*! he should get a smack across the face. And if it isn’t true (and I am most certain it isn’t), McCain should at least defend her for this.
I mean seriously....
Afria is not a continent.
That was a Freudian slip on Obama's part. He wasn't tired from campaigning when he said that. He was clearly referring to The Organization of the Islamic Conference which is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It has 57 member states.
The dude's a Muslim.
This sounds like a typical MSM hit job on Palin - quote a bunch of unnamed sources and make a story out of it. Fox News is off my viewing list, anyway, so who gives a s—t.
Fox News Radio is repeating this crap rumor. They can go stuff themselves.
I've been watching Carl Cameron throughout this whole, long, tortured campaign season & I've seen with my own eyes that he hates conservatives and never misses a chance to get a smarmy remark in about them. He is an ugly lying, light-in-the-loafers toad.
I agree unless there is tape of Palin not knowing this it is just a load of ____.
Thankfully there was a fence between us or I'd have had to drive the Red Army all the way back to Moscow eh!
McCain was a POW at the time. I wasn't. America had world responsibilities at the time that were considered important. Now we don't even occupy the place. The natives have overrun everything, and someone told me the big minefield is gone ~ gad!
Czech for "freedom" is Svoboda ~ Cukr is sugar.
Yeah, but it’s not Czechoslovakia anymore. It’s the Czech Republic and Slovakia. I was just over there last month on a Danube cruise when the market was tanking. I never had such a bad time on a cruise. I wanted to come home. I also knew in my heart that we’d lost the election.
I found the spilling of the beans very telling. First of all, if she’s that uninformed, then WHO is the stupid one for picking her? Secondly, they claim she is a shopaholic, even after the campaign bought her all those clothes (he said part of the reason the bill was so big was because they bought multiple sizes of the same thing, to make sure they fit, so why didn’t they say that??? that some would be going back?) and after this flap, she made a point of saying that she was “back in her own clothes” - I think all of these sniping people are just trying to blame somebody else for the loss. We can all pick out things we would’ve done differently, but the one who was responsible for booking her on Couric? Hey, just sayin’
I THINK THIS IS ALL AN EFFORT TO POISON THE WATERS FOR HER FOR 2012....
POISON POISON POISON
HOW TRANSPARENT.
SHE IS A PATRIOT AND DOESN’T DESERVE THIS TREATMENT.
DOWN WITH THE OLD GUARD.
There’s this big spot known by a variety of names ~ has most of the landmass on the planet. Used to be a major player in the Cretaceous under a different name.
Last night the Mavericks and Rinos learned that we have no use for them anymore and they are going out with a scream.
They sure can...boy, I’m glad I cut my cable off...I don’t have to hear any of this nonsense any longer.
