Anyone else bothered by the "Shout Out"?

[vanbean]

Who on earth gives a "Shout Out" during a debate? I got confused about what I was watching, TRL or a debate?

[amitten]

1. She's trashy. n/t

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. She's a redneck nt

[dgibby]

42. Tacky Trundra Trash!

Please don't insult rednecks!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

44. Yep! nt

[groovedaddy]

3. Hey, she's just like one of us..........idiots.........n.t

[vi5]

4. Who did she "shout out" to?

I didn't watch the debate. I've heard this mentioned but not to whom the shout out was directed.

[grantcart]

30. thaks for adding the clip!

I didn't think the bar could be lowered more than it has been for Bush...clearly I was wrong.

[Barack_America]

5. People without due reverence for the office of the Vice President. nt

[Virginia Dare]

34. One of the Presidential historians on PBS put it very kindly last night..

"a little too folksy for my taste". Lincoln she ain't.

[yellowcanine]

6. But it was just so doggone cute and adorable, even if she was being a little stinker!

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

[Supersedeas]

26. a caricature of herself - neo-conservative integrity?

[Beaverhausen]

7. She was writing Tina Fey's script for her

Seriously - Tina Fey won't have to rewrite a thing and will get lots of laughs on SNL.

[justiceischeap]

8. That moment reminded me of those really idiotic guys you see tailgating

before a sports event. Where they run up to the camera, with their painted chests and face and yell, "We're #1! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

She's got about that much couth.

[Starlight]

15. Excellent analogy.

[LostinVA]

28. Exactly -- a VP candiadte should have at least a PINCH of gravitas

[Clio the Leo]

9. Yo! "Back in the Day" they didn't give shout outs ....... WORD! NT

[FloridaGrl]

10. Hey I'm on TV! I wanna give a shout out

to: Mom, Bill, Tricia, Sue, Jim's corner store BLAH BLAH BLAH. Ridiculous.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. i am bothered that she speaks like a 13year old high school student

its inappropriate for a potential world leader

[Okie4Obama]

12. I was waiting for her to pour some Bud Light on the ground in rememberence of her homies...

...who died in Alaska while hunting for some mooseburgers.

[NatBurner]

20. dude...

:spray:

[XemaSab]

33. Burn!

:rofl:

[crappyjazz]

13. She told some 3rd grade class they would get credit for

watching the debate last night ... I'm wondering if they'll also get credits for learning how to slaughter the English language?

[Starlight]

16. Are Alaskan 3rd graders her base?

:shrug:

[dgibby]

43. Naw, they're too sophisticated for that!

[Morning Dew]

23. prompting one of the better lines of the night

IFILL: Everybody gets extra credit tonight.

She must have been completely disgusted at that pointin the debate.

[vaberella]

17. I had did a thread on it last night. Then there was the winking and her comment about Biden's wife.

[LisaM]

18. It was ridiculous. I'm beyond insulted

that McCain would do this. No, you don't do "shout outs" at debates. She really does think she's on some steroid version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". I am so utterly offended by her that it's ridiculous.

[no_hypocrisy]

19. Return to the classics to understand this situation:

Blazing Saddles by Mel Brooks.

Jim: You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

[AlCzervik]

21. Yes, i was waiting for a "woot woot". My local hip hop station and the local rw station

hated it!

[XemaSab]

39. For the first time ever

Guys named "TBone" and guys named Clarence "Trey" Vanderbilt III have common cause.

She's a uniter!

[AlCzervik]

40. for reals. It was funny, over at 103.5 "Da bomb squad" they just could not believe

she did that and then over at wing nutty 650am home of all rw asshats Armstrong and Getty were horrified, one of their gop callers from Rocklin called and he said he and his gop wife were horrified.

Everyone was horrified, too fucking funny.

[Indenturedebtor]

22. I don't think most will buy her fake "authenticity". It would be like me walking up to a group of

inner city kids and saying "What the werd homeskillets. Ya'll some bad mammajammas." :eyes:

GTFOH

[Virginia Dare]

31. In the annals of white people acting stupid..

Mitt Romney singing "Who Let The Dogs Out" to a group of AA children...:eyes:

[Indenturedebtor]

35. Lol I remember that. Hilarious. Probably the first black people he'd ever met

"Hmmm how do I seem hip to their jive... Hmmm" :rofl:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. Besides being inappropriate, what is weird is, that if she Had to shout out..how about to her

own children's classes?

[janx]

25. What is a shout out?

:shrug:

[AlCzervik]

27. here is the clip, her brother is "the best teacher IN the year" whatever the hell that means

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWmFhwknGRg

[americanstranger]

29. A true 'WTF?' moment.

It was one of the many points when the people in the bar where I was watching the debate laughed out loud at Palin.

- as

[Virginia Dare]

32. Weirdly inappropriate,

she's a narcissistic fool, all the world's a stage for her.

[Tracer]

36. Maybe she thought she was on "Cash Cab".

NT

[AlCzervik]

38. she would have been sent packing after one block.

[Bluenorthwest]

37. It always bothers me

when granny types try to use hip venacular. She's in a national debate for high office, weeks away from being a Grandmother, and yet she uses slang and does all that coquettish crapola. Not right for her age or her position. Winking at the camera? She's so Mrs. Robinson, working on Baby Jane.

[Orsino]

41. It was consistent with her style.

More importantly, those were a few seconds we forgot she wasn't saying anything of substance.

[No Elephants]

45. Cut her some slack. She got confused. She thought she was on American Idol.
