She just won't let the Palin thing go. So much for an impartial journalist.

[beethovenfan]

Palin’s “thin” biography?? What about ZERO’s bio? Just a
“community organizer” aka rabble rouser.

[Rummyfan]

I have no desire to know what Ifill is thinking - EVER! - and even with Obummer getting elected, I predict her book sells ten copies total.

[redk]

None of them will let the Palin thing go.

"She also took a couple of passive jabs at former GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin - commenting on her "thin" biography and remarking on Palin's debate performance."

a) Palin has a thicker resume than does Obama.

b) Palin slaughtered Biden and Ifill in the debate.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Just another jealous º be0tch.

[Diogenesis]

[avacado]

Exactly! She had over all of those 3 political kooks!

[freekitty]

Defund National Public Radio.

[nomoremods]

Palin at 44 years old has a much more substantial and accomplished resume than Biden’s 66 years on this earth.

[allmendream]

Yes, the debate where a over 30 year veteran of the legislative branch misidentified the Constitutional Article that details the legislative branch (it is Article I, he misidentified it as Article II); where someone applying for a position that has about half a page's worth of words in the U.S. Constitution that mentions it, yet claimed erroneously that the VP role was ONLY mentioned in Article I (he meant Article II, but was wrong either way, as the VP role is mentioned in BOTH Articles).

And people, after watching this TRAVESTY, conclude that Gov. Palin was the dumb one?

Says a lot more about them than about Gov. Palin I am afraid.

[avacado]

Yep! That debate. If we had a real media, Biden would have been the laughing stock of the country.

[ZULU]

“She also took a couple of passive jabs at former GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin - commenting on her “thin” biography “

THIN!!!!

THIN??????

How about checking our their Obamamessiah, or “His Arrogance” as he should be known.

Ifill is a biased phoney who orchestrated a put-up job as an interview.

It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with leftist mainstream media bias.

[tanknetter]

I won't tell you which one I slipped on, but you can just imagine which was the skinnier one.

The funny thing is that this can be read both ways.

Sure, Ifill was attempting to slam Palin's supposed "lack" of experience, but I can also imagine (easily) Joe Biden sending in a resume for himself only slightly lesser in page numbers than War and Peace.

[allmendream]

Biden made so many errors that it was difficult to keep track.

Palin on the other hand, only made two mistakes as far as I could tell. The first? Every politician when asked a question they don't want to answer or don't know the answer to will start spouting ‘talking points’; even if they are entirely unrelated to the question- but this if the first time I have heard a politician TELL ME that was what their intention was (but some people seemed to like it, so maybe it wasn't a mistake). The other was that given multiple opportunities to put ANY daylight between the McCain/Palin administration and the Bush/Cheney administration, she came up with nothing (and they HAD to know that tying them to Bush was 0bama attack plan A through Z).

‘But if you just go down with me to Kathy's Restaurant you would find out I am just down home folks’ Biden about a Restaurant closed for about 10 years.

[rbmillerjr]

Ifill is just a black affirmative action slot. Somewhere this is a real journalist that should have her job, but that is ok.

Just listen to her. How does a person with such average intelligence get to host national debates lol.

Her facade of “being a good journalilst” displays hubris bigger than Obama’s. She is sitting there defending her glorifying book on Obumma and her ability to host a crucial debate that would help decide Obumma’s fate.

Hubris.

Unbelievable.

[ElectricStrawberry]

YEs...race WAS a factor in you being a ja-whore-nalist for the Obamessiah.

[safeasthebanks]

ROFL! Where do you find these things? That head bob thingee is brilliant.

[relictele]

I would really like to hear about Man Hands Ifill as little as possible - seeing them trot her out every four years as an ‘impartial’ moderator is about all I can take as it is.
