I just listened to the Palin interview with Katie Couric on YouTube.
I could not listen to the whole thing. She is an embarassment.
Palin has no depth at all, and she is just not smart.
I know some rightrights who are now saying ,"I'm not voting for Palin, just for McCain" as if she is just there for the ride.
BUT McCain chose her out of a large number of other possible choices, and fact is, she could easily end up as President given McCain's age and health.

It is amazing to me that anyone could think for a second that Palin is qualified to be President, VP, or even Governor. The Commander In Chief?
The Chief Executive of the USA?

She makes GWB appear well-read and a quick thinker.

We really must win this election.

1. To be fair
McCain didn't pick her.

Of course, that leads to the question of Why didn't he have the choice?

2. Those who DID pick her don't expect him to last out his first year.
That leaves her, as a compliant tool, doing BushCo's bidding.

The coup continues.

7. True enough.
But it's SO obvious... do you think they just became complacent after 8 years of the chimp and said "Screw it, we really CAN run a sock puppet for high office and no one will notice! Send in Palin."

4. Maybe Republicans will start supporting education
However she is also the example to prove education isn't the answer to every adult's career crisis. Remember, there are a lot of people who can't even get the degree she got.

5. It's what I keep saying
The Republicans have a War on Intelligence

They don't use it to fight wars. And they don't put any on their tickets.

6. They surely do not want thinkers -
they want believers and followers.

11. I had the pleasure of showing this interview to my husband late last night...
He was traveling all day and didn't see the interview when it aired on CBS. Since I already witnessed the train wreck, I was able to watch my husband while he watched the interview and the expression on his face was truly priceless.

:rofl:

If you get the chance, show it to someone who hasn't seen it yet and count how fast they get that WTF look on their face. :D

13. if you listen to it without the video it becomes apparent that she could be a viable VP candidate
But I don't even know if Couric is a Republican.
