And Palin is qualified for VP????

[Neil D]

Sarah is just plain bad here....and you think she's qualified for VP????

I want someone smarter up there in the White House than me....

Sara Palin gets punked....BAD!

Really?

Anyone who doesn't think Palin is qualified ... is pretty low on the totem pole ... so .... you ain't askin fur much.

Nevertheless, I think it's a valid question. She spoke 6 minutes before she was told it was a prank. Do you think that a politician with experience would fall for this? If a guy with a French accent can do that, imagine what real politicians and lobbyists can do to sway her opinion.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is exempt from being taken in by a prankster. The candidates are out there in public, meaning most anyone is able to ask them questions. Once the president and VP are in the White House, the number and who of the press corps gets honed down quite a bit, and only certain areas are allowed to be questioned, or so it has seemed in previous administrations.

Seems to me that for not wanting sexism to become part of the race for the presidency, it certainly has become such. It wouldn't be so funny if Hillary Clinton had been the butt of the joke, now, would it? .... Or, perhaps, it would have?

[Neil D]

Sorry, Rudy,

but I can't believe that someone with the qualifications of a CEO in the energy field, would not understand that when clues are embedded into the prank that would clearly indicate that the call IS a prank, and yet she falls for those clues as gospel,...why that is just an indication that she doesn't know squat. She's an ambitious little baracuda who will do anything to get her hands upon the power of this country and ruin it.

[Dr. Shane]

She obviously was either just being nice to someone she thought was a head of state or she couldn't hear very well - more likely a combination of both. She went along with hunting from a helicopter and Nailin' Palin by Hustler as being a documentary of her life. She didn't answer the phone to take a pop quiz on foreign policy. I noticed she sounded of good spirits when she asked what radio station it was and only got off the phone when she realized it was from Canada. Had it been an American city she may have likely made a campaign pitch for some votes.

[Neil D]

Well then, Shane, she is definately out of touch with reality....

....and yeah, this is "gotcha prank" at it's best....better than "gotcha media".....

[Dr. Shane]

She is out of touch with reality because she is nice to people she believes is a head of state and can't hear well on the phone?

[Neil D]

No, that's the excuse for hiding behind not knowing who is who in celebrity and political circles...And she heard at least some of it, and she still didn't know....Not a smart cookie...

[Dr. Shane]

I suppose she also believed that Hustler's "Nailin Palin" was a documentary of her life. Obviously not. Good grief, will those that hate Palin stop at nothing to destroy her? Compared to Palin, John Kerry had a cake walk with the Siftboat Veterans. What makes me most sad is to see how ideologues can consume the raw hatred fed to them.

[Neil D]

It's tain't hatred, Shane....it's the fact that politically, she's dumb...If she loses this race, if McCain doesn't win, she's going back to Alaska...and there, she will have to face her voters....and they will reject her...Mark my words...

[Dr. Shane]

It's tain't hatred

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and sounds like a duck...

It's a duck!

Then she's a stupid duck!

[Woody]

Hey ....

[Dr. Shane]

Glad to see tain't hatred out there

[Neil D]

Yeah?

As a politician, she's stupid. She left her mayorial city over a million dollars in debt BEFORE she should have build a sewer plant for the city. Now the Lake near her home is fowled...She made rape victims pay for thier rape tests....If the Alaskans vote her back into office next time, they deserve whatever happens to them in thier state...

RE: STUPID

I'd lay 5-2 that she's smart enough to utilize a spell-checker - and to know when and how to act with genteelness...

Sheesh! talk about a noisemaker! is there a knob to turn down the obnoxious? no knob for that? how about the odious? none there either? Oy!

Kafkaesque morphism - in spades.

Unpolished, but nevertheless - in spades

>>...she's qualified for VP????<<

Umm, the perception is that someone (who? :-) labors under an unhealthy emotional attachment re the caustic and negative fixation displayed towards a woman.

Obama spent a 143 days in office with no executive experience - that's nil. That's four months plus change. Yeah, lots of qualification there for the number 1 slot on the ticket. Some ticket, some promise. Yikes!

Sheesh, "I despair for my country." --Red, Right and Blue.

That said, for selfish reasons - those being me and mine - I wish Obama sunshine on his shoulders, clear skies, and a straight path...

[Neil D]

I am glad that there are others in the political realm who see this as I do... Consider, Shane, that Utube is showing some talking heads that are in agreement with me...Palin lacked intellegence for the job of VP. Politically, she was dumb...that maybe a bit crude, but voters are not as blind [aka viewing the world thru political glasses] nor lacking in percieving the intelligence of others as some holding the republican line here on C/A.

[Woody]

Snake . Duck . It's all the same ... Same o Same o ... Just slander from the Obama crowd. My o my ... The electon if over man. Give her a break. So much for a clean post election.

Just remember it was you guys that fired the first shot.

Christ Matthews is a liberal ideologue. I assume that many other liberal ideologues are glad he is on the air at MSNBC. I noticed that both of his guests in the clip are closer to the center than Mr. Matthews is.

All that based on hearsay coming from someone looking for someone else to blame for McCain's loss. Furthermore, Palin has denied that the claim is true.

Basically we have some McCain operatives saying a bunch of bad things about Palin in an effort to take the blame off themselves for McCain losing. Palin is saying that what the McCain operatives are saying is not true. The media is lapping it up as if it was spoken by God. This is a "he-said-she-said" story and some of these accusations are so outlandish that anyone with a bit of common sense is going to be skeptical of them.

Talking heads? Chris Matthews, et al? You mean Bobbleheads don’tcha? Re Matthews: ain he the one with the tickle running up his leg – or was it a tinkle running down...? Sheesh. Like when will the discombobulated

learn that unattributed sources are just that – Bulldust!

>>To me, that means she's a snake....I was generous when I called her a duck...<<

Aw well, so much for polysyllabics :-o But then

I grunt and snort. [/sigh]

Oh! lefters can process that?

“...grow the economy from the bottom up.” --Obama

So, that must mean that, such as Mexico would be Obama’s model, yes? Hmm, interesting, if not so STUPIDO!

Speaking of which...

The question was “Have you spoke to any living ex-Presidents?” --Lynn Sweet

The Wizard of Smart actually began to seriously answer that – until he noticed the surrounding grins – and then, quick as Jack is nimble, he proceeded to throw Nancy Reagan under the bus with reference to all that ‘séances’ stuff. Sheesh, the numbers of bus-kills in Washington Politics might yet – even become newsworthy, yes? Ah well,

for the cause, for the cause, fer shur. And really, what is that cause, one asks? Yikes! With that exclaimed, what a wonderful world it would be if

the rest of us could manage to suspend our disbelief as well, yes?

PS: Late Breaking... it seems that the Wizard of Smart felt compelled to, afterward – reach out to Nancy Reagan. Well, that speaks well – if it is not just so much ‘Perception Management”.
