Remember It Was Debbi Wasserman-Schultz Who Launched First Torpedo that Burst Sarah Palin's Bubble
This is what our beloved warrior Debbi said:

On CBS, Face the Nation, Wasserman-Schultz declared Sarah Palin to be unready for the Vice Presidency “ She knows nothing....Quite honestly, the interview I saw and that Americans saw on Thursday and Friday was similar to when I didn’t read a book in high school and had to read the Cliff’s Notes and phone in my report,” Wasserman-Schultz said of Palin’s interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson last week. “She’s Cliff-noted her performance so far.”

:rofl:

1. I think Tina Fey deserves the lions share of the credit
for starting the decline and fall of Sarah Palin

11. Tina Fey is our heroine!!!
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 12:37 PM by trueblue2007
Saturday Night Live's sketch about the vice presidential debate starred Queen Latifah as debate moderator Gwen Ifill, as well as Tina Fey, reprising her role as Governor Sarah Palin.

3. Is there a place for DW-S in an Obama cabinet?
Or can she be more effective staying where she is? I can't say enough positive things about her.

5. I'm glad we don't need those Republican House seats in FL for a majority.
Because she wouldn't campaign against her Republican friends. That's the lesson about DWS I'm taking away from this election.

10. Yeah. I really was a fan of hers until that occurred. Now I see her differently.
It's a damn shame she went out like that.

I didn't mind the fact that she was for Hillary. It's just the idea that she wouldn't campaign against GOP'ers in her own state that had me scratching my head.

I'm glad she's doing the right thing for the top of the ticket, though.

12. Exactly... Supporting Hillary? No problem. Supporting Republicans? PROBLEM.
See: Lieberman, Joe.

6. Yes indeed, I am still pretty mad at her for her behavior during the primaries-
and her attitude about going after the GOP congressional team here in Dade County (didn't want to upset them or some crap like that)- both of which were outrageous. But she's doing a good job now. She's my Congress person and I was so proud of her at the beginning - would love to get back to feeling really great about her again but it will take a while to heal. I keep remembering her during the Hillary primary drama.

13. tough as nails - I used to cringe every time she opened her mouth about Obama,
but she promised that she would support the candidate chosen and she has walked the talk 100%.

I love her. Really.

7. In my opinion the credit belongs to
Sarah Palin herself. When one complains about the softball questions from Katie Couric as "gotcha" because Ms. Couric is renown as a "tough interviewer." A dose of reality, caused the pivot in Ms. Palin's favorable ratings and then what proceeded was the icing on the cake.

14. Ya know I want to hold a grudge against her b/c of the primary fiasco
but when she comes out swinging like she did today w/Rep. Wilson it's hard to remember to do that. She's done a great job for Obama/Biden.

15. I don't know much about her other than her campaigning for
other Democrats. She's one hell of a surrogate on television. I wish for a hundred of her every time she talks.
