JenVMember“The shot that has been called by the Feds — it’s understandable but very, very disappointing that taxpayers are called upon for another one,” Palin told reporters during a visit to delicatessen in Cleveland.
The Federal Reserve Bank is called THE FED. Government police officers are called “the Feds”. Isn’t this one more thing a VP nominee should know?

HunterGParticipantMost definitely.

angelescrestParticipantIt’s a flippin embarrassment!

ZenguyParticipantI think all of us are more qualified to be VP than Palin.

JoBParticipantnow now guys, don’t nit pick.
it’s a given that she doesn’t speak government. heck, doesn’t speak literate either.
but wouldn’t you just love to have a beer with her?
John said he didn’t want a strong VP … looks like he is getting his wish.
after all, if you thought the only thing the job entailed was checking in each morning to inquire after the state of your health, wouldn’t you rather have Palin than Lieberman?
At least she doesn’t know enough to correct him when he’s wrong.

JenVMemberhow anyone can defend this nitwit is beyond me. She’s an embarrassment to educated women everywhere. and the sad thing is, she’ll probably end up in office, because the American voters are so stupid and easily duped by a sound bite and a nice up-do.

JoBParticipantjenV..
didn’t our momma teach you not to pick on the poor retarded child?

RainyDay1235Member>At least she doesn’t know enough to correct him when he’s wrong.
I dunno. I totally foresee her becoming too big for her britches and McCain losing his temper, LOL. I saw her interrupt him and say she had something to add during one of his speeches. He responded cordially but looked peeved :)
>>Palin jumped right in from the first question directed to Republican running mate Sen. John McCain on how he would address the threat of radical Islam. After McCain gave a short response, Palin interrupted, asking, “John, John. Can I add something? I want to add something to that.”
“Always,” McCain replied, drawing cheers and applause from a crowd of 2,000 packed into a gym at Grand Rapids Community College.

WSMomParticipantFrom Huffington Post this morn:
Bizarre McCain Remarks Appear To Reject Spain As Ally
If you speak/read Spanish, here is the original report from a Spanish newspaper:
Here’s the report translated:
This is part of what tpm has to say:
“In Spain, there seem to be two lines of thinking. The great majority appear to think the McCain was simply confused and didn’t know who Zapatero was — something you might bone up on if you were about to do an interview with the Spanish press. The assumption seems to be that since he’d already been asked about Castro and Chavez that McCain assumed Zapatero must be some other Latin American bad guy. A small minority though think that McCain is simply committed to an anti-Spanish foreign policy since he’s still angry about Spain pulling it’s troops out of Iraq. Finally, a few of those who lean toward the first view speculate that McCain may have confused Zapatero with the Zapatista rebel group in Mexico.”

acemotelParticipantYah, my guess was no. 3, confusing Zapatero with Zapatistas. The man is not well.
Maybe he picked Palin because he wanted someone *he* could correct rather than someone who would correct him.

“Standing beside John McCain at her first town hall meeting since being named to the Republican ticket, Sarah Palin was asked what specific skills she would bring to the White House to “mitigate that concern” of her perceived lack of foreign policy experience.
“Well, I think because I am a Washington outsider that opponents are going to be looking for a whole lot of things that they can criticize and they can kind of beat the candidate here who chose me as his partner to kinda tear down the ticket,” Palin said. But as for foreign policy, you know I think that I am prepared, and I know that on January 20th if we are so blessed as to be sworn into office as your president and vice president, certainly we’ll be ready. I’ll be ready. I have that confidence. I have that readiness and if you want specifics with specific policy or countries, go ahead. You can ask me. You can play stump the candidate if you want to. But we are ready to serve.” “
““Give us some details and examples of your strategies and plan for economic empowerment for women,” she said.
McCain signaled for Palin to answer the question.
“Well first let me take a shot at that, and I’ll tell ya, I’m a product of Title IX in our schools, where equal education and equal opportunities in sports really helped propel me into the—I guess into the position that I’m in today where,” Palin said.
McCain then interjected, “Could I mention she was a point guard on a state championship basketball team.”
After the crowd’s applause died down, Palin continued: “Sports were very, very important to me growing up, you know just learning about self discipline and healthy competition and about what it takes to win and even how to graciously lose sometimes. But how to win, that’s what it teaches ya. Now, I was a product of Title IX where legislation allowed that equal opportunity. Now if we have to still keep going down that road to create more legislation, to get with it in the 21st century, to make sure that women do have equality especially in the work place, then we’re there because we understand that in this age we have all got to be working together. I respect you so much that you are a Democrat recognizing that John McCain and me as a team of mavericks understand where you’re coming from, and we can work together on these issues. But yup, equality for women, for all, that’s going to be part of the agenda and I thank you for that question.” “
What does high school sports experience have to do with economic empowerment for women. Huh?? If that’s the best she can do, we’re in big trouble.
Please Tina Fey, put that wig back on one more time, you couldn’t make this stuff up!
