"She doesn't know anything."

Heilemann and Halperin write: "Palin couldn't explain why North Korea and South Korea were separate nations. She didn't know what the Fed [the Federal Reserve] did. Asked who attacked America on 9/11, she suggested several times that it was Saddam Hussein. Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank. Later, on the plane, Palin said to her team: 'I wish I'd paid more attention to this stuff'."


The authors say that, after "cramming furiously", writing newly acquired facts on white index cards that she studied at night, Mrs Palin managed to emerge intact from an interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC News, a "success" that led to the unwise decision to grant Katie Couric of CBS News the right to conduct a multi-part television interview. The move was a public relations disaster for the McCain camp.

"When Couric asked her to name examples of McCain's efforts to regulate the economy, Palin said: 'I'll try to find some and bring them to you'. Asked about the relevance of Russia's closeness to Alaska, she replied: 'As Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the USA, where do they go? It's Alaska'," the authors relate.

Aww Desh. Don't let Sarah worry you so much.

Look! You can't write a cohesive paragraph and they still let you breathe!

Where's all that Liberal compassion and equality now?
 
And this:

"The index cards were piling up by the hundreds, but Palin wasn't absorbing the material written on them. When her aides tried to quiz her, she would routinely shut down – chin on her chest, arms folded, eyes cast to the floor, speechless and motionless, lost in what those around her described as a kind of catatonic stupor."
 
The truely SCARY part


Yesterday, in the first serialised extract in The Times, it emerged that Mrs Palin became so overwhelmed by her preparation for one of the Couric interviews that she announced, "I hate this make-up". She smeared it off her face, "messing up her hair, complaining that she looked fat".

Today the authors reveal that the failures affected Mrs Palin's nerves. "Palin flew to Philadelphia to spend the next week concentrating on debate prep. The next two days were a total train wreck. Never before had Palin's team seen her so profoundly out of sorts for such a sustained period. She wasn't eating (a few small bites of steak a day, no more). She wasn't drinking (maybe half a can of Dr Pepper; no water, ever). She wasn't sleeping (not much more than a couple of hours a night, max).

"The index cards were piling up by the hundreds, but Palin wasn't absorbing the material written on them. When her aides tried to quiz her, she would routinely shut down – chin on her chest, arms folded, eyes cast to the floor, speechless and motionless, lost in what those around her described as a kind of catatonic stupor."

Asked if the preparations weren't worth it for the prospect of power, Mrs Palin is said to have replied darkly: "No. If I'd known everything I know now, I would not have done this."

One of her advisers sent an urgent SOS to McCain headquarters, the authors continue. "They began discussing a new and threatening possibility: that Palin was mentally unstable."
 
There was an article in Politico yesterday about the Clinton parts of the book and how no one from her campaign is coming forward to deny the claims against her, including that SHE personally approved the "Obama was a drug dealer" story, even though there was NO EVIDENCE of it.
 
She is too mentally ustable to hold high office according to her own party members.

It is just insane that anyone would support a run by her now.
 
You've gotta put the lion's share of the blame on John McCain.

Palin may be an undereducated and theocratic dim wit.

But the old geezer is the one that put the nation at risk, by cynically (and apparently without any vetting) putting Palin on the ticket in the hope of creating a media buzz, and snagging some Hillary voters.


what a dumbass.

would the election loss have been any worse if he had chosen Lieberman, who he WANTED to choose. Would Republicans have stayed home without the GILF?

Yeah, because every campaign always allows the person with the stack of 3x5 cards in a state of catatonia to make those choices, all personally and stuff. They also never vet any of the ads at all and just let that statue with scattered 3x5 cards just put their "x" on it...

You can't have it both ways. Either she's the personification of evil willing to laugh as she signs the approval for ads with no evidence, snickering all the way as she cheers on the prospect of all the power she'll wield through her willing puppet McCain or she's in a state of catatonia, cannot sleep or eat, and gets confused when answering questions about magazines.

Personally I believe that it is more likely somewhere in the middle and almost all of us remember when we stayed up too long and couldn't seem to get one more fact to stick to our once nubile brains...

Sorry, I was talking about Hillary, not clear enough. The book does more than just bash Palin.
 
She knows how to make a great Moose stew, if you have ever tasted moose that is one great accomplishment. Can you see all the Fox faux news people eating up. Wonderful image. Glenn Beck and she can have a who's more paranoid segment each week. Imagine the conspiracies cooking up in Washington. She can perform Gay to straight transformations, that should be interesting show. They can have a segment on wolf and other animal shooting from airplanes. The possibilities are endless. Come on, gotta love modern America, getting dumber by the minute.
 
A person can be stupid, uniformed, unstable and a lying sack of shit all at once.

Ive met them and I bet you have too.

They cannot, however, be judged incompetent yet have power over decisions like that during a campaign. Hence my confusion until Soc cleared it up by pointing out the evil one was Hillary...
 
She is the mentally unstable darling of the right wing...!

I really hope she runs and the Conservatives support her!

NO this election was about President Obama, not Sarah Pailn.

Who knows if he would have done better with Lieberman. It's just speculation. If he supposedly wanted to shore up the conservative base, he could have picked Fred Thompson, Romney, or any of the other goons who fashioned themselves to be rightwingers.

He picked Palin to create a media buzz, to get Obama off the front pages after his convention, and to try to steal some hillary voters. I don't think there's really any legitimate debate about that.

The point is, I don't think you put the nation at risk, just to win an election. I mean this shit about her is just freaking scary. It boggles the mind to think this lady would have been a heart beat from the oval office.
