You have a dinosaur and beauty queen trying to act Presidential.

The Repuglicans have turned politics into a carnival act.

No, I think it's more of a horrific freak show.

She could have at least mentioned a couple of each to say she read them for different perspectives. Hell, I'm better at this than she is and I've been to Spain and Mexico. Can I haz VP?

In all fairness a journalism major who points a hand cannon at the Press (the Convention), then encounters one of the nicer folks in the press and still has trouble, is a little tough to swallow.

Hard to claim media gotcha moments after "the little Newsflash" the Governor had for the Press at the convention.

Do you not understand that each time you make these idiotic replies you bring down the credibility of yourself and other McCain supporters?

Wow, they still have credibility with you? McCain and company lost me at "This economy is still fundamentally sound".

I liked how she answered it - she need to be more combative and not let the media get away with such "journalism".

So reading is now considered 'elite'?

I guess Katie Was playing "Stump the Candidate" with her. Palin is a fraud and she talks like she's dumb.

Here's what you're not getting. In order to appeal to a person w/child-like mentality, you must ask them simple questions. This is why you won't ever see someone ask Obama such a simple question, he doesn't warrant that type of question. She, however, does.

omg! this is so embarrassing for the repugs

[Who?Me?!]

SaraTodd Palin does not need to read...her husband tells her what to think.

Yes.

Furthermore, by being "pro-education", she will help in her party's demise.

What is so embarrassing about asking someone which sources he/she reads to get the news? It shouldn't be a difficult question to answer
