Sarah Palin blames 2008 loss on John McCain...I think

[brooklynite]

“Well, it takes a team to win, so it takes a team to lose. I was part of a team that came in second outta two. So, yes, yeah, I mean, semantics, okay, words matter. You either win or you lose. We lost. That makes you not a winner. At that time.”

1. Toss the words in the mouth, mix them all up and spit them out

How could you tell what she thinks?

That interview was pure comedy gold given that she is irrelevant.

[kimbutgar]

2. Does that mean that if McCain went crazy like her they would have won?

She is in serious need of getting psychiatric help.

[mnhtnbb]

5. A psychiatrist would be of no use to her: she has zero awareness that

she has any kind of problem.

[edhopper]

3. Polls at the time showed

she was the #1 reason people did not vote for McCain.

9. An unfortunate truth for the Alaskan quitter

[TreasonousBastard]

4. OK, she's nuts, but...

if you read the whole interview it's not nearly as bad as she usually comes off.

(Might have a lot to do with editing.)

6. The Wasilla Diva Was Inspirational

The Wasilla Diva was inspirational. Even though I'd already been a committed Democrat for over a decade before Sara Palin was nominated as the Republican Party's candidate for Veep, the thought of Just one heartbeat separating her from the Presidency was enough to inspire me to vote Democratic.

checks and money orders coming. After all,Bristol is Expecting and my PAC needs a little cash,just grifting along.

8. Watch the movie "Game Change".

There was one main glaring reason McCain lost that election. And that reason was The Snowbilly being allowed to speak. Sarah Palin being allowed a microphone did more damage to that campaign than McCain's age or the stench/aftermath of Bewsh The Dumber.

Incidentally, I'm not exactly sure WHAT Biden/Palin debate anyone else was watching . . . but she SUCKED. 90 minutes of sheer gas, non answers, non sequiturs, "rah rah 'murica" platitudes, more red herrings you could catch in a net, etc. That to me was one of the few dishonest moments in the movie, asserting that she hit it out of the park in the Biden debate.

10. She should jump aboard the republican clown bus too. She is a proven loser.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. To be fair, I don't think that ANY Republican was likely to win in 2008

but they REALLY shot themselves in the foot by picking Palin for VP (and we all dodged one helluva huge bullet). What I'll never understand is how/why she remained newsworthy/relevant/credible with the MSM and so many people for several years AFTERWARDS.

12. Choosing Palin disqualified McCain from being president

if he thought that she was the best person to have as second in command to take over for him should he die. They both contributed to their loss.

[kskiska]

15. His first choice was Joe Lieberman

but the powers that be told him he couldn't have him. So Bill Kristol brought a party up to Alaska to interview Palin and thought she was the greatest thing since sliced bread. They brought her to Arizona to meet with McCain and he approved of her. The rest is history.

13. If you randomly rearranged those words, I think they'd make just as much sense.

Every word she just used arranged in alphabetical order...

14. Snowki, the Klondike Kardashian should shut up

She's always a loser.

[lpbk2713]

16. Sounds like she's working up her own "Who's on First" act.

[Yorktown]

17. But she can see Russia from her home

Someone with such an eagle vision is qualified to rule.

I think.
