Well Joe bidden says being vice-president if the easiest job of all. He just shows up is all I can see and when he does open his mouth he usually puts his foot in it.

Why no talk about being one breath away with old Joe?

So now we know what Palin was saying about Obama was right on. Radical friends and more radical friends even appointed to government agencies now. Hopefully when the Republican candidate talks about it this time people will know it is true and listen.
A woman too weak and incompetent to even continue being governor of a thinly populated state may be relevant to you, but she's a joke to Americans who are not married to their cousins.

Not just me. Anything she says seems to make the news. Not my idea but it gets coverage.

Congratulations on being perhaps the millionth person to post this. And people say that liberals tend to be the 'creative class.' I wish they would create some new memes for themselves.

Anyway this one is discredited. See posts 16 and 17 in this thread:

I read the book but did not watch the movie. I found the book to be very good and well written, EXCEPT for the section on Palin, which is only about 22 pages out of a 436 page book.

The chapter on Palin, I just didn't find believable. They have her going into catatonic trances, when she's not acting over-the-top ADD. Throw in the fact that there was obviously a feud between Palin and the campaign staffers, from whom the writers probably got most of the material, and it's not credible to me. The Sarah Palin they portray could not possibly have accomplished what the real Sarah Palin has.

And it sounds like the makers of the movie decided to focus on that segment of the book. Figures.

Game Change was great...It depicted the launch of Sarah Palin's career as a conservative mouthpiece and reality show bobble head. We didn't really need to see a movie to know she was/is a total moron. I did learn that she acts like a bitchy little teenage girl when she doesn't get her way. We're all fortunate that McPalin didn't win. An old warmonger and a bottomless idiot would not have been a good duo at the top of the government.

The movie didn't do any such thing. It was completely believable and actually showed what would happen average jane/joe was tapped for the VP position. Most people DON'T know much more about politics or foreign policy than Palin did. That's why average jane/joes usually don't get elected.

Her mistake was saying yes to being co captain of the football team when she was really only qualified to be head cheerleader.

...just like Lindsay Lohan...both unworthy of celebrity and just as inconsequential.

Let's be real, she knows less about politics and foreign policy than the average Joe, this is why she is so funny.

How is anything I said "discredited"? Her resigning the governorship in the middle of her term is not a figment of my imagination, it happened in July 2009. If she's such a delicate little flower that she can't handle being a governor and serving out her term, how would she handle wars and crises on a national scale? Conservatives' lack of logic is appalling, she couldn't handle being governor, don't make ridiculous asinine excuses saying it was justified or that it was anything other than a cop out, makes you sound like either a right wing shilling phony or a mental defective who can't put 2 and 2 together.
