ROFL Moment! Brian Williams Noting That NBC Had Invited Palin To Comment On the Debate Afterward...

[Median Democrat]

But the McCain camp had said that she was not available, but that the McCain camp had made Rudy Guiliani available to speak on behalf of the campaign. They cut to the Rudy who appeared to be laughing at that comment.

Priceless!

This was right after Joe Biden had commented on the debate.

I also have read comments from other folks who watched other channels like CNN that after Joe Biden was interviewed for his response, the network mentioned that Sarah Palin had been invited.

Now, do you think the networks were saying this to avoid being called "sexist" when people asked where is Palin, or because they wanted to get in a dig on Palin for her inacessessibility and absense during a time the VP is supposed to make the rounds?

[AzNick]

1. She's a joke, just a bad one.

She was getting hammered in a pub and singing karaoke songs at the time.

I guess this is exactly what the Secret Service loooves to take a candidate.

[livetohike]

2. Palin is not ready (nor will she ever be) to speak to the media

on her own. Her absence from last night's post debate media rounds is clear indication that the campaign has something to hide. It's a disservice to the public who want to know more of what this V.P. pick has going for her. McCain misjudged - badly.

[Xipe Totec]

3. My wife just called Palin McCain's bimbo

She said McCain is too old to run and she doesn't want to end up with McCain's bimbo as president.


:rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

4. Think about it: If McLoon's VP had been Romney, Polenta, or Ridge, he would

have had him doing what Biden did (the surrogate spin) without a doubt. She's just so far out of her depth, so useless except as arm and eye candy for campaign crowds, it's pathetic.

[whosinpower]

5. SHE WAS AT A BAR!

I kid you not. Here is the story -

snip - Perhaps it was coincidence that the song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" was playing as Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin worked the crowd at the Irish Pub last night.

13. Thanks for the link!

Wow-slamming back shots and posing for pictures
while Biden comments on the debate!

Oh yeah," ready on day one"

What a winner- :eyes:

Love the poll results here!

:)

[Barack_America]

15. Lol. "Unavailable" because she was shit-faced by that time, I'm sure.

"I'm going to have to do THIS in less than a week? F-f-u-u-u-u-c-k." *as she tosses her tenth shot back*

And there's also a debate poll at that link. Not that it needs DU'ing, lol.

[ailsagirl]

27. She's incoherent enough when she's sober LOL

[frickaline]

Women should be seen and not heard

That's the message I'm getting from the McCain group, loud and clear.

My, what a ground-breaking role model for feminists everywhere. If she were to break the glass ceiling and go down in the annals as a historical figure, I think I'd have to scrape out my eyes so I couldn't read it.

[renate]

9. Palin should be seen and not heard, anyway

I'm okay with not having to listen to that voice and that accent. I'm getting pretty tired of her face, too, actually.

[Barack_America]

16. Yeah. I definitely vote for not seen and not heard.

Ever again.

[sunnybrook]

25. Really

So if the Presidential and VP candidate go out to eat, will he order the food for her? "The lady will have..."

[marew]

6. I think they wanted to make sure that everyone knew

Palin was being sequestered because she's incompetent and all she can do is parrot back meaningless phrases. But, then again, maybe she's handling an Alaska/Russia international crisis. Believe that, I've got a bridge to nowhere to sell you! :rofl:

[iceman66]

17. Biden should find a way to use that line in the debate

"Believe that, I've got a bridge to nowhere to sell you!"

[demodonkey]

23. Putin's probably REARING HIS HEAD -- in laughter.

:rofl:

[grantcart]

7. She was having a melt down knowing that in a few days she will be hammered.

[helderheid]

8. K&R, motherfuckers!

[sunnybrook]

10. maybe they are getting ready to ditch Palin for real

and replace her with Guiliani?

[Cass]

11. I think they are making it crystal clear that her absence on these shows

is 100% the McCain campaign's choice and that no one can accuse them of any bias in that regard.

The McCain campaign obviously doesn't think she can handle this stuff yet we're supposed to believe she's "ready on day one". LOL.

[whosinpower]

12. She was at a philly Irish Pub - I kid you not

HOWZ that for judgement. Seriously..... here is the news story about it.

[Barack_America]

14. I need to see video of that.

Can anyone help?

I'm so pissed I missed that!

[Median Democrat]

18. NBC Brian Williams - Right After Biden's Comments

Brian Williams is making the comment, and they immediately cut to Rudy Guiliani who appears to be cracking up at the reference, though it is not clear whether Rudy knew he was immediately on camera.

[berni_mccoy]

19. The Networks are Required to give Equal time to the candidates. They had to say they invited her

in order to avoid later requests by the McCain campaign for equal time.

[No Passaran]

20. I was watching CNN when they asked about Palin

Wolf Blitzer said, right after Biden interview, "we invited Sarah Palin but she's not available" and Anderson Cooper said "Don't hold your breath". I almost died laughing.

[1776Forever]

21. Wolf Blitzer on CNN last night said he had received emails asking where Palin was!

She was at a Pub in Philly last night:

Palin grabs a seat at the bar

Perhaps it was coincidence that the song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" was playing as Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin worked the crowd at the Irish Pub last night.

But her amorous fans were definitely ready to let the moose-hunting Alaska governor rule.

"I expect her to be president of the United States one day," said Suzanne Haney, the Republican leader for the 2nd Ward in South Philadelphia, who gave Palin a $2 bill for luck.

Palin appeared at the bar on 20th and Walnut streets last night to shake hands with her fans for about an hour before the first presidential debate. While the crowd inside was friendly, hundreds of people lined the street outside in protest with signs that read things like "Palin is Santorum With Lipstick."

..................

She is going to need a big drink before the debate next week!

[AnnieBW]

26. Santorum with lipstick?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I think I have my new sig.

[sunnybrook]

22. I think this is just standard procedure

So the viewers for whichever side knows that the networks are not attempting to be unfair by only showcasing one side. Because if Biden spoke and then it went to Guiliani people would naturally think, "Where is Palin," and repugs would be angry

[cui bono]

24. They usually say that, to show that they were fair and invited both sides.

Shows that the McCain camp had the chance to get air time for this but chose to decline.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. Palin doesn't even know how to BS

or at least her own campaign doesn't trust her to even talk about the weather.

[rvablue]

29. They said the same thing on CNN

Wolfie said they were getting tons of emails complaining that they were not letting Palin comment on the debate. He then said we asked Palin and she refused and we would love to have her on any time she wants.
The panel laughed......
