Have any media folks commented on how Palin did not answer the question on foreign policy experience
Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 12:15 PM by gauguin57
???
A member of crowd said something like, "can you tell us specific skills you have to bring to the White House to rebut or mitigate that concern" (that she has no foreign policy experience). Palin answered with "I'm a Washington outsider so they're trying to tear me down ... Oh, I'm ready ... I'm ready ... if we're blessed to be elected, blah blah blah " ... and a bunch of other generic phrases -- NO SPECIFICS AT ALL.

Sarah then said people could ask her for more specifics ... but WHEN? I mean, someone asked her, right there, in front of the world, and she didn't answer. AT ALL! Are people supposed to pass her a note or something?

Have the media noticed, at all?

JESUS!

heard this on NPR this morning, BTW.

1. I haven't been watching ALL day long
but from what I've seen, the media has been PRAISING her for this "haha, see! She's not afraid of anything! She said that the audience could try to play stump the candidate if they wanted to! Obviously, she is confident in her abilities". Spin, baby, Spin.

2. Jeebus ... if anyone needed evidence of her not being able to answer the most basic question ..
... that was it.

The robots are in complete denial.

praising her, and at the same time, keeping up the discussion of LOWERING and lowering the VP debate expectations. As another poster put it, this isn't a reality show. This isn't "hey, let's take someone completely clueless and nominate her for VP, and see how well she can APPEAR to know what she's talking about and memorize the talking points." They are also acting like it's huge deal that she took ANY questions, as if it is not something that she should have been doing for weeks.

5. Here's the question and answer, on NPR audio from this morning.
You can listen to the question and answer here, on Morning Edition on NPR ... it's at about 2 minutes 30 seconds on the audio.
