Palin stringing a bunch of disconnected words together, in no particular order.

2. Here's the full answer.

'I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa or should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us.'

3. I mean, I just don't see how they can put her out there for a debate!

She needed NOTE CARDS to get through the Couric interview.

How bad will she be without NOTES?!!!!

7. I can't fathom it either.

[cui bono]

4. Is the whole interview available anywhere? n/t

8. In fairness to her

her inability to play the game "Connect The Dot" leads me to believe she's hardly likely to able to string more than one word together.

9. There are several interesting points about this early part of the interview...It's not so bad.

Well it was God awful and especially atrocious for a candidate who is running for the second highest post in the nation if not the world and has the possibility of taking the highest seat in the nation at any given moment.

For a common citizen who has a lot to say it's actually, normal statement.

First off, I have noticed that she uses too many words to get her point across. When the speech is written for her, she's fine. On her own and the individual or mass of people listening are over run with verbosity. This is not to say that what she says has no meaning. It does, but it loses value in the flood of so many words and sort of "push point" terms.

"Crisis mode", "main street", "world", "proposal", and she said "shore up" like 8 times in the first half of that clip, and "economy" just as much if not more than "shore up". These are the "push point" terms, terms she throws in there and she adds this extre inflection in her tone to stress it. The first question she answered, yet she answered it in the most ludicrous way. There was no need to really detail so much into global economy her first statement was enough. What did catch my hearing was the fact she blamed main street. This bothers me and no one is talking about it. She blatantly said main street, that means the little people, are to blame for this crsis. Not Wall Street. But then she goes on talking about oversight needed and several other of Obama's provisions.


Second question, she just did not answer. She went on a barrage of words which reiterates her earlier statements. They ask about McCain's leadership or plans and she mentions that silly league that McCain said was needed. I personally thought that was teh league who is currently working on a new bill for bail out.

Third question, She has problems here. She's ill about bail out and steadfastly supports it, but as Republican she hates it...it's weird relationship. But she did answer the qestion fully. But it was way way way too wordy. Over use of "shore up".

Foruth question, "this as it is has to pass"<---She made good points here, however her answer is again wordy and lost in a mess.


Fifth question, I heard "solutions" way way way way too much. About 3 times one after another.

Sixth question, again poor answer, but coudl have been better with less words.

She's blaming the home owners really, becasue she said so earlier. Either she didn't understand or didn't know that's the case.

Overall it was one of the worst if not the worst interview in history. However, if one sits there and sifts through the jibberish you can make otu what she says which isn't all bad.

11. yes, she is verbose

Interesting analysis.

Takes me back to the earlier *Jr. years. I had a psychoanalyst friend in Houston who liked to watch politics. She is also a writer and good with communication. She would analyze bush for how his handlers were coaching him. Some of the tactics were so obvious. There were the pauses and there were the polysyllabic words he'd practiced so hard. He would enunciate them so carefully that we knew the handler had coached him by the syllable. Then when he finally could say the word we just knew he'd been tossed a biscuit. He was so proud of himself.

And there were some of the finer moments, like when bush referred to some books he'd been reading. That just crossed the line of believability so egregiously.

Your post reminded me of how much fun it was to read my friend's analyses.
