Uninhabited islands I might add. Her new twist is even worse. Putin flies over her so that gives her experience. Well hell. I might just have as much experience as Henry Kissinger by that requirment. I've lived by Reagan National and Dulles both. Can you imagine how many leaders and politicals have flown over me? Swoon.

That's fine, just remember to laugh heartily when ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN claim to be "balanced".

Speaking of airheads and gaffes, just watch almost any Obama clip where he's not in front of a teleprompter. Just try and count the ummms and stutters. You won't be able to keep up without pausing. Just ask Obama how many states we have (he said 57 one time). Or just ask Biden who was President during the Great Depression, and how many people had TVs at that time. The mainstream media does its best to hide the repeated Obama/Biden gaffes.

This just illustrates that we can find fault with either side, whether it's an innocent mistake made while answering a question or whether surprised by a question that one would not be expected to know the answer to, just to make the person look bad.

Yes, I'm in my right mind, and yes, I support McCain/Palin. Come November, we'll have a Republican administration, or a very unknown person in Obama, who will do nothing but attempt to lead this country toward socialism. Good luck with your guy.
I would respectfully point out that Obama has been on the national scene much longer than Palin. Yes, he made a few gaffes, but over a longer period of time, but Palin has a 100% record for gaffes. Has she ever given one interview where she doesn't make herself look uninformed?

This is incredible...and the folks who support her blame the interviewer!
Well she got an EASY interview by Hannity and still didn't come off to bright!

This was not a good week to be a McCain/Palin supporter!

Maybe this is why Obama stutters.
Clip:
Mr. Obama seems to understand that he is always an utterance away from a statement — or a phrase — that could transform him in a campaign ad from the affable, rational and racially ambiguous candidate into the archetypical angry black man who scares off the white vote. His caution is evident from the way he sifts and searches the language as he speaks, stepping around words that might push him into the danger zone.

These maneuvers are often painful to watch. The troubling part is that they are necessary.

LOL Sarah's handler's would in no way, no how, put her in a position where the Obama campaign would be controlling the interviewers. They gave Gibson the questions to ask but Sarah forgot the answers. They mistakenly thought because Couric is little and cute she wouldn't ask Sarah any tough questions.

Spin as much as you like but unless Sarah is reading from a prepared (by someone else, such as her RC speech) script, there is never going to be an instance where she will be doing anything but babbling.

Man o' man, I can't wait for the VP debate. We're going to see some quality stand up comedy on that show and some whirlwind spinning by her Stepford Wives on this forum.
