"reading speeches other people wrote for her". I'm not a fan of hers but I'm pretty sure speechwriters are common. You don't seriuosly think politicians write their own speeches the majority of the time do you?

But ... even in this lousy interview, Palin failed miserably. Notice the edits. And oh that condescending and HIGHLY irritating voice of that woman.

Also, is it me or did even Gibson get fed up with her after a while? Damn, if only he had aired this unedited and tightened those questions. Palin would have burst into tears. She didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was.

Karl Rove? Karl Rove? Your puppy needs a spanking.

If you read the transcript of her speeches, which are taken directly from the teleprompter, the word is spelled "new-clear". You can't make this stuff up.

she spells it "nuke-you-all"

And it's so good that she didn't even know the policy that has dictated the last 6 years of US foreign policy (Bush Doctrine - that's a capital "D" on Doctrine).

Sure, she's ready on day one. /sarcasm

Here's a perfect example of the difference between the 'left wing media' and the shit Fox does. Notice how Charlie politely and calmly asks questions to Sarah...and yes they are pointed and sometimes difficult questions. But compare that to O'Reilly's interview of Obama and how he didn't really ask questions as much as accuse him of things and wait for a response. And the constant interruptions! The right wing gets so upset when the 'liberal media' asks tough questions yet how often do you see real reporters treating a Republican the way O'Reilly treated Obama (or any guest with an oppoising point of view for that matter). It's not the media that's 'liberal' it's the conservatives you who have no tolerance for anything other than their own ideals.

Bill Clinton was the Governor of Arkansas (population: > 2 million) for over 10 years, and was the Chair of the National Governors Association.

Sarah Palin has been the Governor of Alaska (population: 683 thousand) for less than 2 years. Before that, mayor of a tiny ass town in the middle of bumf**k nowhere.

Obama has been s US Senator for 11 years. He's Chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on European Affairs, and is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which has brought him to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa as a U.S. Senator.

Obama is lacking foreign policy experience? My ASS.

Sarah Palin has been in charge of the Alaska National Guard (for which she has issued no orders, none, zero), and thinks the fact that she can "see Russia" from certain parts of Alaska means she has foreign affairs experience. That's it. That's her resume on non-domestic issues.

I'm not a fan of Bill Clinton, but any comparison between Palin and Clinton's experience is laughable.

Any comparison between Palin and Obama's experience is absurd.

Old & Incompetent for President! Yeah!
