Just like her newspaper preference: Palin says her "favorite" founder is "all of them" before eventually citing Washington

Yep, I saw that! And this was my thought, she's doing it again, I wonder what she will give as her reason this time. She wouldn't recognize the Founding Fathers if she sat on George's dentures and they bit her on the bum!

When will people start to realize that Caribou Barbie is the most unqualified intellectual flyweight to arrive on the national scene since Clarence Thomas?????

Palin just indirectly praised Aaron Burr! We must put pressure on her to resi... oh, wait, never mind.

My favorite founder was Boy George... Wait, what was the question?

This is way beyond a stupid American, what did this clown do with her first 18 years of life.

Sarah Palin inadvertently outlines why she should never be elected for public office. Score.

It's like Family Feud.

"6 million people surveyed. Name a founding father."
"All of them."
"OK. But we need a name. One name."
"Ummmmmmmmm. George Washington?"
"Survey says?"

she would definitely know about being "reluctant to serve"

--Who's your favorite founder?

--Actually, Glenn, I prefer it grilled, in the summer when 'ya get out there, and 'ya---

--No, no, founder, not flounder.

My favorite founder is Glenn Beck, because according to Fox News, he is what makes America great!

She had NO CLUE who the Founding Fathers were. The way Beck has deified these normal, everyday people is RIDICULOUS.

Someone who was willing to give another person every benefit of every doubt could have construed that it might be possible, somehow, even f-cking remotely far fetched, but possible, that Katy Couric asked her a "gotcha" question about what she read.

Here, Beck served up an easy pitch that anyone could have hit out of the park. Pick one, anyone. There is no wrong answer. (We'll there wasn't a wrong answer before today). Just stumble and then say all of them.

And then to go on and on about Washington. And how we need someone like him. Someone who doesn't want the job. And Beck knew he had set her up and she failed miserably and he gave her a hand back into the boat at the end by saying that Washington was his favorite too.

What a pair. A match made in hell that's for sure.

What a hopeless twit.

The favorite founders on MMA are Stalin, Mao Se Tung, Pol Pot ect... Oh yeah Hugo Chaves and Castro should be in there somewhere.

Once again, Palin proves that she knows nothing about American History. George Washington was not the "leader" of the Founding Fathers, and he wanted to be called King George. The delegates to the Continental Congress refused his request.

I can't wait until Glenda and Simple Sarah start quoting Thomas Paine. The Irony would be so delicious, and so far over their heads they'd think it's a blimp.

OH NO! Beck asked her a question that required thought! Panic! Panic! Panic! What were you thinking Glenny??? She didn't have a cue card answer ready for this!
You could tell she had no clue who the Founding Fathers were! That's hilarious. So she tries to duck out by saying "All of them" but Glenny doesn't realize she's clueless so he demands that she name one. You can almost hear the gears turning in her head. "The Founding Fathers? Who the heck were the Founding Fathers? Think Sarah think!" So she comes up with the easiest one of all--George Washington. Whew that was close!
Gee I sure hope she is our next President. We need someone with her intellectual depth. >ROFLMAO<

I'm surprised Beck and Palin like any FF, the majority were lawyers and they were all traitors after all.

Reinhard
Support the War! Raise Taxes!

returning the country to the people...hmmmmm, I guess thats why you had to have property in order to vote! Did you see her head go down when Glenn said BS. That moment was priceless.

Oh come on, this si pretty petty. That answer wasn't that bad. Beck called her on it and she gave an answer and a reason for the answer.
This thread makes you all look like a bunch of idiots that waits for mmfa's cue and you all run with it. Oh wait, that can't be. That's what you accuse Beck listeners of doing. Just sayin'....

you couldn't have cut the smarm in that room with a chainsaw.

Shame on Beck for setting up poor Ms Palin with this unfair "gotcha" question! Doesn't he know she's a female George Washington? He said so himself! Would he ask Washington a question like this? Shame - shame!

Beck's body language and facial expression was cool BUT yet I sense a bit of tension as he listened to Palin. He had a "darn you are hot but dumb as a brick" vibe going on

Palin is serving one purpose for fox news.She is being used to trick the jan,feb ratings measurments.They know flash increased rating numbers that can not be substained will be produced.But it will be enough to fool advertisers,and potential buyers.Their only worry is that she last long enough to work the scam.

These guys love saying they love the Founding Fathers (Limbaugh does it a lot too). What they don't bring up is that the nation wasn't founded in a gossamer world of billowy clouds but by real people who fought with each other, were petty, had political differences that caused deep personal rifts and so on. It's history and part of the beauty of our history. Compromise and ideas forged in a crucible is what got our country going.

So the "who's your favorite founding father" question could lead to trouble. If you liked Adams more than Jefferson, that could say volumes about your political ideology.

But, as Ronald Reagan so wisely misspoke once, "Facts are stupid things."

The box of rocks on fox..........

Just like her newspaper preference: Palin says her "favorite" founder is "all of them" before eventually citing Washington

D@MN Again!

Let's go back in time!!!

Palin: I Read All the News

D@MN SHAME!!

The "Male Sarah Palin" finally meets eyeball to eyeball with the "Female Glenn Beck". What a lovefest, it's like Glenn (the original) is falling in love with himself all over again.

Nothing has changed, since she was selected to be VP candidate.
Nothing. Except, may be her new hair style.

You know, I have never once called anyone on MMA a name. The way I see it those that do either don't have a legit argument or is immature.

In the real world:
beck,"Who's your favorite founder?"
palin, " glen, that is a good question, mmmmm,lets see... Franklin had a unique view on goverment , Jefferson was strong on civil rights... Addams,.. John or Sam..mmm....Washinton.was a HERO of the War...I would have to say my favorite founder, is Reagan, He Rocked!!"

The Couric Question yet again. She makes things up until one of them pops into her mind. It was funny how she ran around the question until Washington came to mind, and then she remembered the talking points that her aides gave her before the interview.

George Washington? Really? Imagine that. Who'd have predicted they'd BOTH have picked George Washington? And, with so many much more well known names to choose from. Amaaaaaazing. These are truly two emeffing mavericks, all righty.

The faby who?-Eric Cartman.
Hey seaweed, it just makes you look stupid when every entry you have on every subject comes back to he same mindless chatter. The adults are trying to speak. Go put on your Gordon Liddy pj's and your Palin talks U.S. history CD and let the adults have thry're now time.

I'm not go to be able to take Caribou Barbie on a daily basis.

so now this site has resorted to just make fun of people you dont agree with. You guys are just sad, truly, truly sad individuals!!!

It seems rather trite to make stupid comments about Sarah Palin's hair. Seems desperate, actually. ROFLMAO!

I feel sorry for you people, i cant imagine what miserable lives you must live. Can't imagine what its like to be such a hateful person like most of you are. Get out of your parents basements, stop watching fox and get some fresh air and live your lives!!

It is a bit unecessary to make an issue out of a person taking a few moments to think about an answer. Actually it's always a wise thing to think about what you are going to say before saying something you live to regret. You, know, kind of like Harry Reid uttering his infamous light-skinned Negro comments about candidate Obama! Those comments have had a negative impact on Reid and his sons campaigns.

And did you catch the entire interview - the parts where Palin and Beck both said they could not care less about the names people call them? And you grown ups here are acting like a bunch of kids at the school playground. Calling the other kids names. Ok, I know one of yall are going to call me a redneck trailer trash and I will tell you ahead of time. Sticks and stones may break my bones but calling me a redneck trailer trash will never hurt me. Time out!

“I’ve heard of most of them, with a great appreciation for the founding fathers. Ummmm, ahhhh, all of them, any of them, that ahhh have been in front of me for all these years.”

It seems that she didn't have an answer, and then just started staling with all that vague stuff about bringing diversity until a name popped into her head. Probably something she learned as a beauty pageant contestant. such as.

It's comforting to know that no matter how hard she tries she'll always be completely stupid and sound completely stupid whenever she answers the most simple questions. I believe that someone like this will never become President of the United States. Bush was dumb but not this dumb. I hope I am not proven wrong.

Beck immediately says "Bullcrap...who's your favorite?" while donning a defensive grin. Could this perhaps be a tiny bit of the real newsman in him so long ago covered up by agenda and Washingtons?

Nah.

This is going to be so much fun getting regular updates on Appalling Palin utter incompetence and stupidity. I thank John McCain every time, that is THANKS FOR NOTHING.

I was actually surprised that she hadn't been given the list of Beck's questions in advance.

For a woman who has a Journalism degree, she appears to lack both education and intelligence. She should change her last name from Palin to Simpleton.

Problem is g washington was NOT THE "one" who called the founders together; they were not lead by him. He was a general who became president. Neither of them know what they're talking about.
