She was terrible...

[Writer]

I just watched a couple of segments of Palin's interview with Charlie Gibson, and I have to say, she rambled on with one platitude after another. She doesn't SOUND confident when she's in the interview chair. I could hear the nervousness in her voice when she answered questions that she didn't have a good answer for, such as, whether or not she believes she's qualified to occupy the White House.

Why can't we call this farce for what it is and move on?

1. She is terrible...

She is the ideal conservative...

[liberalmuse]

2. Because everyone can't stop talking about her!

I had nightmares all last night with 'Palin. Palin. Palin......' being said all through them. Gee, I wonder why? This country is fucking nuts. This reminds me of that stupid Goldie Hawn movie where she gets shot in the butt by a Presidential assassin and becomes famous overnight because the American public is stoopit.

3. She was really great, actually.

Really great at proving she is completely unqualified to be VP, that is.

5. exactly.

awful.

6. Yes, she sounded hollow and unqualified. And, quite frankly, in over her head.

She doesn't deserve to place one toe into the Vice President's office.

11. she was what i call "awful good"

i.e. good and awful!

4. Just from the transcript here is my view:

On Iran:

She says that "They may not use a nuclear weapon, but we have to prevent them from getting one and getting it to terrorists". Firstly, that goes AGAINST the RW talking points because they have asserted that Iran WILL use it.

She has no coherent answer for "If Israel attacks Iran"

She does not know what the Bush doctrine was.

She seems to think that energy and foreign policy are the main links for her experience

She basically recites the same damn thing about Russia/Georgia EVERYONE is saying.

In a nutshell she HAS NO F*****G foreign policy WHATSOEVER!!

7. I've lost my objectivity.

I can't tell anymore. I have no idea whether she was terrible or not. But I have a negative reaction to that voice and her answers.

8. This is the first time I've heard her give extemporaneous answers and I was underwhelmed. n/t

12. I think they were rehearsed and that she had an ABC teleprompter.

[Writer]

13. It was too poor an interview for it to have been rehearsed. n/t

10. No joke; her voice scares my brooding cockatiel. She's very happy to sit in her nest

and she's very quiet but twice when she's heard Palin's voice she's let out a startled hiss.

9. not ready for prime time Palin

14. Just wait til the debates - Biden will send her running back to AK n/t
