Palin’s CBS interview…So this is why they’re keeping her out of the media

Wow, what a weak performance. Though it’s not like she’s got a lot to work with, what with trying to defend John McCain’s de-regulation corporate friendly approach to economics over the past 20 years. Still, it’s kind of painful to watch her stumble through this. Hat’s off to Couric for pressing her [...]

The best Palin critique comes from Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel

As Marvel comics would declare, ’nuff said, about Sarah Palin’s experience and readiness to lead.  In a recent interview, it just starts and never quits!
 
She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials… You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don’t know what you can say. You can’t [...]

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, spot on!

wow!

ABC interview – Sarah Palin confused on entitlements

Via thinkprogress.org
GIBSON: Do you talk about entitlement reform? Is there money you can save in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?
PALIN: I am sure that there are efficiencies that are going to be found in all of these agencies. I’m confident in that.
GIBSON: The agencies are not involved in entitlements. Basically, discretionary spending is 18 percent [...]

Palin’s ignorance on the Bush Doctrine isn’t the point, it’s that she agrees with it.

Arguing the American citizen’s ignorance to U.S. foreign policy these days, while valid, is not relevant here in Sarah Palin’s first interview.  It’s that she agrees with George W. Bush’s 8 years of presidency.  Yes, the fact that she didn’t even have a basic understanding of the current sitting president’s vision of this country the [...]

Reminder to Obama – it must always be opposite day with Karl Rove. Attack Palin.

No thanks Karl, Barack does not need your unsolicited advice.  Taking on Palin directly is a ”a match-up he’ll lose”, Rove claims.  Rove is as partisan as it comes.  He’s been a phenomanal asset to the GOP.  But he’s just that. 100% GOP, despite any objectivity he claims.  It’s a rather simple strategy.  If you are not [...]

What does Sen. Richard Lugar think of Sarah Palin?

He’s not too impressed, judging by his lack of congratulatory response to McSame.  Unlike Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as V.P., a selection praised by Lugar.  Soon after Biden’s selection, Lugar (one of the GOP’s most respected foreign policy experts) issued this statement while traveling to Georgia:
“I congratulate Senator Barack Obama on his selection of [...]

Why Palin does NOT represent a step toward gender equality

A fabulous Op-Ed piece from the LA Times on Palin:
This isn’t the first time a boss has picked an unqualified woman just because she agrees with him and opposes everything most other women want and need. Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It’s about making life more fair for women [...]

Sarah Palin – Alaska first, country second?

The most interesting political development uncovered in Sarah Palin’s history I see is her association with an Alaskan political group looking to secede from the union.  Yes, it was a point in time.  Yes, I’m sure she doesn’t still hold these views.  But someone as late as 1994 sympathizing with an organization wanting to break [...]
