As for being interviewed by katie Couric, I didn't her it, did you and I wouldn't trust much of what she said. but more than that my beef is more with the name calling and the insults. BTW though I do read newspapers I am also aware,even 10 plus years ago there are many ways to get news other that the print media.
The book I referenced, “Game Change” was written about Steve Schmidt’s experience trying to prep Sarah Palin for running for Vice President with John McCain. Steve Schmidt, McCain’s 2008 Campaign Manager, is well known in political circles. I have seen him on TV number of times. A very smart guy. The prep team was unable to educate Sarah Palin because of her lack of ability to learn. Or maybe it was her arrogance. If you would deign to read the book, you’d find out. However, like most conservatives, you may not have an open mind. FYI, not all books cover both sides of an issue!

I did personally hear the Katie Couric interview at the time. Palin came off as ignorant. I am very surprised that Palin actually got a degree, as she flitted from school to school. What Governor of any state before 2008 (when she ran for VP) never looked at any newspapers?

Why in the world are you so insulted that I said Palin was an idiot? Is she a relative or something? Some of the names for Pete Buttigieg that I have read on this forum are disgusting. Some of the names Donald Trump calls people in his tweets are awful. Do any of those bother you?

He worked at least two of these at a time, perhaps all 3 for half the time while starting a family and doing the background prep work for running for higher office.


Either Waldo Kitty did not know these facts but spoke like did or was telling a lie. It is easier to view the world the way you want to see it if you make it up.

Sad, though, that you live in FL, at least part-time.

Lived in Florida since the mid seventies out where all the roads were dirt and all hands are clean. At least now, the frontage road is a hard road. Wanna come visit? Y'all might hear some banjo music.

You live in a city? metro?

Dear you just confirmed what I said. But I'll give you this. Apparently with that law school degree, he tried to sell houses to make ends meet. BTW, city council is politics. And you think that compares to Pete Buttigieg.

Big fail on your part. Like I said Buttigieg's resume is far far far above that of Sleepy Joe Biden. 45 years in politics and absolutely nothing to show for it beyond voting for War, Sending American Jobs overseas, and making the 1% very very rich.
