Sarah Palin: "She's ready to do anything she wants to be."

[SemiCharmedQuark]

Palin's Parents Pan Media

*snip*
(CBS) A month ago, Sally and Chuck Heath's third child, Sarah Palin, a self-proclaimed hockey mom and wildly popular governor of Alaska, was thrust into the national spotlight when John McCain picked her to be his running mate.

In the time since, Palin's readiness to be president in the event she and McCain are elected and McCain becomes incapacitated has been widely questioned by Democrats and many in the media.

But, in an exclusive interview at their home in Wasilla, Alaska, the Heaths told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith their daughter is, indeed, ready to occupy the Oval Office at a moment's notice.

When asked by Smith about rumblings that Palin isn't ready to be vice president and a heartbeat away from the presidency, Chuck replied, "She's ready to do anything she wants to be. And she perseveres, she works so hard, she learns so fast. Yeah, she -- I -- I don't worry about that at all. That's what I'll tell 'em. Yeah. ... You want some honesty, yeah -- yeah, not a typical politician, get her. Yeah. Yeah."

Pointless, but that kind of parental approval is just so darned heartfelt.

10. Are we sure Grandma and Grandpa Mooseburger weren't first cousins?

[renate]

11. they sound kind of sweet

I mean, they're not going to say "um, yeah, she's not ready for prime time." They probably honestly believe she can be VP or even President.

It must be painful for them to hear their child being panned like this in front of the whole world. I feel bad for them even if I don't feel bad for Sarah.

14. They raised her to enjoy slaughtering animals and to be a fundie wack-job--

they're awful.

[tblue]

24. Agreed. They raised her to be immune to the suffering of sentient beings.

"Acts of cruelty to animals are not mere indications of a minor personality flaw in the abuser; they are symptomatic of a deep mental disturbance. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don’t stop there—many of them move on to their fellow humans. "//snip

I'm not saying Sarah would actually kill another human, but she may lack the requisite empathy to run a government that has the power to choose life or death for individuals and nations. If she can actively promote the excruciating suffering of a wolf or a bear shot from a helicopter, it's not a huge leap to surmise that she could turn a blind eye to the welfare human beings.

22. Fuck them!

I hope they suffer when she goes down. She is their spawn. She is a product of their upbringing. I won't shed a single tear for this trash.

12. My opinion of Alaskans in general continues to sink.

We need more posts from worthy Alaskan DUers before we conclude that they are all illiterate dropouts up there!

[trudyco]

13. Sounds like a tagline for a new line of Carribou Barbie dolls -nt

Back to you, Roger...

16. I used to wonder, does Sarah work at being stupid or does it just run in the family?

Now I know.

[Chloroplast]

17. When are they going to interview Todd's mom? That would be a HOOT!

And isn't the current Mayor of Wasilla Sarah's cousin? Interview her! I want America to see the family of thinkers Palin hails from.

[progressivebydesign]

20. Our local Seattle News had an exclusive interview with a woman that babysat her.

Yeah.. there is some really reallly CRUCIAL news!!!

26. I have known many young people and some middle-aged people over the years who

"wanted" to become veterinarians. Very few of them have anything remotely near what it takes to get into vet school, let alone get out in one piece and be successful as a professional. Desire is a necessary part of what it takes, but intelligence and ability to learn vast amounts of information and retain most of it and apply it to real-life situations are much more important.

Some people actually think that all you need to do to become a vet is go down to city hall and take out a business license. God's own truth.
