    She's also saying she's been listening to political speeches since she was 7 but can only name one Supreme Court decision and never had any idea what the Vice-President does. Furthermore, she makes this pronouncement as if she is at the top of the ticket. Even when she's coherent she's bad.

    I thought this was pretty funny when I came across this:

    Sarah Palin Quote Generator

    Here's a randome one:

    “What I think Americans at the end of the day are going to be able to go back and look at also bipartisan effort those terrorists who would seek to destroy America and our allies”

    :)

    Point
    Gov. Palin Has No Foreign Policy Experience, Refuses To Acknowledge Global Warming, And Supports The War In Iraq
    By Roger Hobaugh, Concerned Citizen

    There may be no better word to describe John McCain's vice presidential pick than "ridiculous."

    After months of criticizing Sen. Obama for his inexperience with foreign policy, McCain has chosen quite possibly the least experienced woman in politics to serve as his second-in-command. How little experience does Palin have, you ask? She was a part-time mayor of a tiny Alaska town and then governor of one of the least populous states in the union for less than two years. Palin has never met with any foreign leaders of any kind—in fact, she only applied for a U.S. passport last year!

    In this time of international turmoil, how could McCain, a man who would become the oldest candidate ever elected, select a novice like Palin knowing she would be one heartbeat away from having to step into the presidency and protect our nation? The mere notion that Palin is even remotely equipped to manage the ongoing war on terror is an out-and-out fantasy dreamt up by the Republican party to disguise why they really selected her: to attract female and evangelical voters in a desperate attempt to win the election at any cost—even if it means sacrificing our nation's security.

    McCain has chosen for his running mate a woman who is so set in the past that she supports abstinence-only education despite its failure among her own children; a woman who claims she is not convinced that global warming is a serious issue. Palin has time and again supported needless and ecologically destructive drilling in Alaska's wildlife reserves—drilling that McCain himself is ardently opposed to—yet offers no plan for the very real and proven threat of climate change, despite the danger it poses to her home state.

    Perhaps the most frightening prospect of putting Palin in the White House is her continued support of the failing war in Iraq—a war she called "a task that is from God." Electing Sarah Palin and John McCain in November will no doubt prolong this costly and unwinnable conflict, which every day claims the lives of more American troops and sinks our country further into debt.

    Palin is not a bold new choice for America. I have no doubt she will provide the same type of irresponsible and flat-out dangerous leadership we've seen from President Bush for the past eight years. That is, if she provides any leadership at all.

    Please Keep Your Voice Down, My Poor r****ded Child Is Sleeping
    By Gov. Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential Nominee

    Shhhh!

    Could you please stop tearing apart my record so loudly? I just put my special needs child down for a nap. You remember my poor, Down syndrome baby, don't you? The developmentally disabled child I carried to term despite knowing that he had special needs? The child who would be helpless without my constant care and attention? Well, he's just nodded off, and if you continue to provide such damning evidence of my inexperience in both foreign and domestic policy, you'll wake him.

    You wouldn't want him to start crying, would you?

    It's very rude of you to keep pointing out the myriad reasons I am unfit to be the governor of Alaska, much less vice president of the United States of America, when you know my Down syndrome–afflicted son is trying to get some much-needed rest. If you wanted to question my qualifications as a leader, you should have thought of that sooner, like, say, before I gave birth to a r****ded child who would probably starve to death if I weren't so selflessly and courageously dedicated to him.

    Actually, he'll probably be sleeping for a while, so maybe it would be best if you came back later. Perhaps this afternoon, or in a couple of months. It's just that he gets so tired having to struggle with even the simplest tasks that you and I take for granted. Because my special needs son has Down syndrome, you see. My child has Down syndrome. And, as the mother of a baby with Down syndrome, I would appreciate it if you stopped bringing up my nonexistent energy plan while he sleeps there, like an angel.

    My beautiful, special needs angel.

    I assure you, I have every intention of responding to your claims. Sarah Palin does not run from a challenge. Like the challenge of raising a child with Down syndrome. That's what I've been doing for five months now, and let me tell you, it is hard work. But I wouldn't trade a moment of it for anything in the world, not even for more time to respond to the gaping holes you've just punched in my candidacy. Did I mention he has Down syndrome?

    Now, if you'll please back away quietly without saying anything else—especially about my recent comments regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and how they illustrate my complete lack of even a basic understanding of our economy—I'll forget this whole thing ever happened.

    And so will my vote-stealing r****d baby.

    Palins latest gaff from an email q&a with her hometown newspaper today:

    Cancelling the project after realizing the feds were not going to fund it is hardly "thanks but no thanks, if Alaska wants a bridge we will build it ourselves"

    Hilarious!!

    However, according to my Idahoan friend, Palin's accent is a Northern Idaho accent, not an Alaskan one. (Yes, I just factchecked a funny fake commercial. I'm a geek.)

    I watched a Dem strategist interviewed on CNN yesterday.

    He was asked "what would your advice be to Joe Biden regarding Thursday's debate"?

    His answer was..."I'd tell Joe Biden to let Sarah Palin talk for as long as she wants to".

    :D

    I cannot wait until Thursday. Watching the Sarah Palin train wreck is must-see TV .

    She doesn't have to name ONE because she reads them ALL. Seriously. Every single magazine. TIME, Newsweek, People, Sports Illustrated, Highlights for Kids, Texas Monthly, Hustler, and Playboy. She reads them ALL.

    i actually saw this "live" tonight, at least as much as anything on TV this heavily edited is "Live." couple of things, first, she looks marvelous in HD, far more natural than her interlocutor, second, as to the question at hand, it looked like to me she just said, **** it, i'm not playin' this game anymore- you're going to psychoanalyze anything i say anyway, so go ahead, paint me as a hick, and we'll run from there. i think you can see some of the beginning of the push back here.
