On the other hand, Sarah Palin has demonstrated time and again that she is an idiot...a shallow, conniving person, who makes George W. Bush look like a rocket scientist. When Palin is caught writing cheat notes on the palm of her hand like a seventh grader the rational reaction is that it simply further proof of the woman's idiocy.
How many times have I heard reported that, off the record, conservative operatives and intellectuals are astounded by this woman's stupidity?
Very thoughtful.
Guess Karl Rove is going to have to take Morris out to the old woodshed.
But of course they did. Did anyone actually expect them not too??
You mean to tell me she had zero access to an index card?
Just seconds after ripping on Obama for daring to give a speech using a teleprompter (which EVERYONE DOES), she has notes on her hand to remind her what to say. What a dumb hypocrite moran she is.
Not only did she refer to her hand in the Q&A, but her address to the crowd was a prepared speech. Palin's shot at the President for using a teleprompter was read off a piece of paper.
(Check out 8:25 in.)
She's moved beyond the hypocritical into the true idiocy.
This is very sad and is the "sexist card" going to be pulled every time fox wants to manufacture a difference between Palin and another politician to make her look like shes picked on? If so fox will use it as much as they claim liberals/mainstream media(i.e. anyone to the left of the klan) use the race card.
The question I keep wondering about is this. Since Ms. Palin keeps talking about how the media are a bunch of liars, aren't to be trusted, and are so liberal, WHY then do the people that she's insulting every single day of the week listen to her? Print stories about her? And so on.
It's not as if she's popular (she's not). It's not as if she's not actually PART of that said same media, oh wait, she is (because she's working for FoxNews now).
This past week for example, I heard, on NPR, a 5 minute defense of Rush Limbaugh by Brent Bozell. Why was that even required or necessary? Both Bozell, AND Limbaugh have their own stage to defend Limbaugh from, why do you have to give them extra attention in a case like that?
The most recent sexist comment about Palin was made by their own weekend guy, who shared with Fox's national television audience his hope that Palin would sit on his lap.
He didn't just mispronounce a word, he did it three times in the same speech and now it's been revealed he did it several months ago. Barry and Bush were both educated at Harvard. Hmmm....I'm seeing a trend!
Somebody please tell Unprecedented B it's Corpsmen not Corpse-men! ;)
(we had to endure endless ridicule for Bush mangling Nuclear...Y'all take your medicine on Corpsmen!)
The relevance of a mispronounced word to Sarah Palin reading her typewritten speech from the lectern instead of from her usual teleprompter so that she could make her stupid teleprompter joke and to her writing her three "core principles" on her HAND in answer to a question that she had already seen is lost on me. The fact that this woman couldn't even remember her own THREE "core principles" is very, very scary.
Do you support this woman because you think she's intelligent and competent or because she has an (R) following her name? As a former strict Republican voter, I can tell you that the reason I didn't vote for GWB was not because I'm a gosh-darned liberal, it's because he was so incompetent and intellectually incurious, the letter in the ( ) was completely irrelevant. He should NEVER have held any public office . . . EVER. Sarah Palin is worse than GWB. She actually believes her crap. Bush didn't. He really didn't care. He wanted to be Commissioner of Baseball.
I was commenting on Barry. Plain and simple. That's twice you've knee-jerked today. You feel'n OK bintx?
It's not like she was being asked to split the atom. She was being asked her positions and views on basic issues and ideology.
I could understand needing notes to recall the names of the 10 people in the audience you wanted to have stand and be recognized, or the amount of each annual budget deficit for the last 10 years.
But if you can't remember something as simple as "tax cuts for rich people" or "drill baby drill" without cheating, then you're way too unprepared, or you're in the wrong business.
Doesn't Fox consider itself to be MSM? In fact, don't they consider themselves to be the most trusted and most watched of all the MSM? Isn't Hannity part of that MSM? What exactly does Hannity do day-in and day-out?
Follow the political idealogue and the message is clear. Fox and other conservative pundits - it's time to end the "only Republicans and conservatives get berated by the MSM, while Democrats and liberals are treated positively" talk. It's not true and everybody ought to know it by now.
btw, I can't stand the use of "attack" everytime somebody is criticized. Let's get real, nobody is being attacked. It's sounds as though they use these words in order to create a revolution.
And then there's that idiot Morris saying that Democrats don't like Palin because she is a woman and therefore "a threat to them."
Riiiiiight. I think the Democrats---and most sane Americans--don't like Palin because she is a total idiot.
That's not the job of a legitimate news organization! They shouldn't be making excuses for her. It's not their job to defend her.
Smart people use teleprompters whenever they can.
writing on your hand crib notes= good especially if your sarah palin because you can get away with anything you want and if you get called out for being a hypocrite then everyone is being sexist
