Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 04:24 PM by Lex

Anyone else would've been on all the pundit shows and Good Morning America and all that doing a 'victory lap' on her great speech. (Which it wasn't, but don't tell the press.)

Not Palin.

Things that make you go 'hmmmm.'

1. She's a good reader. Probably up to about the 8th grade level, I would venture.

10. Why would you assume only 8th grade
when she has a degree in both journalism and poly sci?

Because she oozes Sophomoric.

15. Maybe she had a lot of 'extra-curricular" activites that she was not awarded credit for
:shrug:

5. And why isn't the press begging for their new heroine to appear?
Fucking bizzaro world with this complaint media. Sometimes I think Obama is all that stands between us and total fascism.

8. Strategically? It would take the focus off McCain before his speech.
Plus they build up all the suspense and interest...Can she handle the national press? etc.

25. LOL. They really dont have any choice. Palin, The King of 911 and Huckabee did well
yesterday, so they need to TRY to refocus the base and the media on McCain.

12. Because she's a Puppet and an Airhead, she can't be let loose without speechwriters, Palin
Palin is the female version of W....she's either a) unable to either think for herself OR b) her out on her own she might start telling people her true beliefs, which we know are way outside of the mainstream.

Probably it's a combination of a and b.

20. She's Bush II -- it takes them three days to prep her for a speech
and she can't be trusted to wing it.

16. Maybe her handlers don't want to take the chance that she will
out of the blue get the Holy Spirit in her and fall down and start speaking in tongues.

Though I think she might be able to pull that during the debate and deflect attention from the fact that she doesn't know anything about anything.

18. Maybe they could hide a text messager on theat poor baby she uses as a shield.
I swear I don't put it past them--or her.

19. She's probably out field-dressing a moose
which Fred Thompson claims is one of her chief qualifications

Oh wait. There it is now . . . . all dressed

22. She just hired an attorney for her Troopergate problem
and is probably instructed not to talk about it. They would be very short interviews if she keeps saying "No comment".

24. Until she answers questions, call her Sarah Palin, Republican Spokesmodel.
Candidates answer questions. Spokesmodels read scripts and don't answer questions.

Sarah Palin is a Republican Spokesmodel.
