Carl Cameron just said McCain campaign shocked to discover Sarah Palin did not realize Africa was a continent, believing instead that it was a country. She did not know the countries in NAFTA. She refused offered preparation for the Couric interview and threw temper tantrums over adverse press.
Wow. Dumping on Sarah in a big way. Shep asked how on Earth the McCain camp could have ended up picking such a dope (not exact words, but sense of what he said).
They did point out she seemed to help the polling numbers.
I knew this was going to be the template, but I was surprised at the level of nastiness on Fox News. Looks like elements of the McCain campaign is determined to make her the scapegoat for the loss. (Couldn't have been anything about the man at the top of the ticket.)
Fox News: Palin didn't know Africa was a continent You Tube
Did Greta say this on air or in her blog? I’m too sick of it to even go to her blog.
Greta interviewed the Palin’s on the bus. Greta is smart and a lawyer, she sort of cross examine’s her guests on air.
When Greta spent time with Sarah I suspect she knew she was no dummy...
She is coming down hard on her side against the smears on air. She seems mad as Hell.
She *may* not have been as polished as Biden, but she didn’t lie through her teeth as he did.
You are basing her statement about Russia from the parsed and edited hatchet job Gibson interview. What she actually said was clipped and edited from a reasonable and lengthy answer about being the only Governor in the U.S. that has to deal with two foreign governments in close proximity. The entire Gibson and Couric interviews were deliberately manipulated to cast her in a bad light.
While the media did everything they could to destroy her, they simultaneously did everything they could to elect Mr. Obama.
So accept whatever accusations you feel will serve your purposes, but put on your flame suit.
I feel exactly as you do, seek.
Tonight's juvenile giddy-gossip-girl antics that Carl Cameron delightingly dished to Shepard Smith made me sick to my stomach. I mean LITERALLY sick to my stomach.
I'm DONE with most of FOXNews.
Sign me: Disgusted.
No doubt, but the 2010 midterms are coming up. If I were the RNC, I would be using her in various races. She can bring out the crowds and energize the base. Now that she has name recognition, she is a definite asset.
“She’s absolutely the only reason they got cash from me this year.”
Same here and for the first time in my life, I actually did volunteer work for a campaign.
Looks like Sarah left the baby on the plane!
Jindal must be at the top of the ticket. Which means that Palin won’t do number two again, probably. I think about those swing voters in northern Virginia, suburban Indiana, Charlotte, NC: Who’s better at communicating the conservative vision? I think it’s Jindal
Look, Palin is folksy and does connect with ordinary voters. All I’m saying is give another guy a look in the primaries. I’m betting that Jindal will connect with conservatives better than Palin will (assuming, of course, both run in 2012).
Keep your dirty words to yourself.
Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself.
I think I just joined you.
Resumes don't win elections. Palin has the most favorable ratings of any governor in the country. She is telegenic and an excellent communicator--superior to Jindal. In any event, both of them represent the future of the party. We need to bring them into the national spotlight and send a lot of these old hacks into retirement. Our candidates should not be chosen on the basis of seniority ala Dole and McCain.
In the Debate, Palin correctly placed Darfur in Sudan.
Biden erroneously said it is in Chad.
McCain needs to get in front of this, call a press conference, name the staffers who did this and fire the guilty ones on camera.
I didn’t watch.
He may just be drunk.
What is conservative about Sarah Palin?
Put up or shut up.
Wow. They really had the Dirt People assignred to her. How did these Scum get theeir jobs?
