Palin falls short of conservative expectations (Holier-than-thou alert)

“appalling lack of preparation”? What was wrong with the gibson interview, other than abc news editing Palin’s answers during the interview in key points not airing her complete answers? And re couric interview, have you seen the 8 hours and 40 minutes of the 9 hours of interview footage that couric claimed didn’t exist to come up with her edited 20 minute interview? That’s just so appalling tsk, tsk.

Palin is finished. It is Newt now.

Oh boy are you about 8 years behind the times.

What was wrong with the gibson/couric interviews? Stupid answers to questions she should have seen coming: Katie Couric asks Palin, Which newspapers do you read? ‘Um, all Of them’. New German bosses ask Safety Supervisor Homer Simpson which safety improvements he’s been involved with, Homer pulls at his collar, gulps and guesses, “Umm, all of them?”
And the caribou-in-the-headlights stare at Gibson when he asked her about a nebulous “Bush Doctrine”. Sarah looked like she was simply amazed at finally realizing that Gibson truly did not like her and was trying to embarrass her. No poker face, no readily-expounded “I interpret the Bush Doctrine to be ...” Not even, “Which of the many so-called Bush Doctrines are you referring to?” Just dead air and a blank stare. That’s what was wrong with the gibson/couric interviews.

homer simpson bullshit?

Yeah, that’s some real biting analysis. Guessing that’s your idea of clever, but you failed to accurately analyze what she said and the obvious context. It’s all still there on video, but you’re evidently too lazy to play the interview responses you referenced to clear up your confusion before eagerly replying and making a fool of yourself. But alas, you smugly respond with inaccurate, stale cliches that the terrified media have been peddling for two years. I actually liked her response to Couric re what newspapers she read because it was clear couric was being a cunt and “was there to cut this Alaskan Governor down to size”, ‘cause you see flowerplough, cunt katie had been asking other questions about whether or not SP was “curious enough”, since she had just recently gotten her passport after being elected governor. That was also a good response by SP when she explained that she had worked her way through college and then worked, often two jobs, since she was a teenager to the present day so she hadn’t had time or the money to travel abroad. Just think about that flowerplough, by the time cunt katie interviewed the self-made, up from her bootstraps Governor Palin, Palin had been working more than 30 years, many of those years involved doing hard labor jobs working with her hands and the sweat of her brow(picking salmon from her husbands’ nets and working in fish processing plants). That’s really something isn’t it? ‘cause most of the pampered beta-males/girls graduating from college at today have never worked a real job in their life. And I liked the question back to Gibson re Bush doctrine, “in what respect Charlie?” I wonder why Gibson wasn’t man enough to elaboratr and answer her question? That’s a damn shame isn’t it, for a man in Gibson’s position to not be brave enough to just conduct a fair interview of Palin? The leftist Palin-haters be damned.

“failed to accurately analyze what she said and the obvious context?”

WTF are you going on about?
Couric: What do you read?
Palin: Oh, everything.
New German owners: Which safety improvements are yours?
Simpson: Oh, all of ‘em.

And Gibson not brave enough to just conduct a fair interview of Palin?

WTF did Palin think she was gonna get from ABC News, butterfly kisses? She was way under-prepared, and gaped and gulped for way too long when Gibson went after her. McCain shoulda expected Gibson to dirty down, and the campaign shoulda expected Gibson to dirty down, and Sarah, especially, because she was the one fronting up, shoulda expected Gibson to dirty down. She shoulda been ready. She coulda been ready. She wasn’t ready. She wasn’t any more prepared for those interviews than Obama was for his current pay grade.

And she shoulda told me ‘bout her baby’s forthcoming baby, instead of letting Gibson and Couric do it, too. And she shoulda stayed and fought in Alaska.
