Tory a Come To Bump Bout Palin

[Pepper]

Now dat election done, McCain staffers a start flap dem gums.

I was watching MSNBC earlier, here are a few of the early tidbits.


<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]McCain's #'s started dropping right after the Couric interview, which Palin refused to take prep lessons for. Like how she know everything, I can see why she refused.[/list]

<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]Palin did not know which countries are part of NAFTA. I bet her first guess was Germany[/list]
<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]Of course the rumors of the strained relationship between her and McCain, and at times she would throw temper tantrums when they told her she couldn't do this or that.[/list]
<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]She didn't know that Africa was a continent, and they had to explain to her that Africa was comprised of several diffferent countries[/list]
Di man they were interviewing was on a short time slot and they had to cut him off, but he did say as the days go one, for sure we will hear more about her antics.

And to think she came dangerously close to a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Word is that he wanted to choose someone more liberal like Lieberman, but the republican bigwigs would not let him. There was a power struggle, time was running out and he picked Palin because she was known for being very conservative.

Serve dem right. Dem shoulda mek di man mek him owna choice.

If McCain lost in a close race, they would be more lenient. But the embarassing landslide, by a black man ...that is just unforgiveable.

Re: Tory a Come To Bump Bout Palin

you should check out John McCain's website. It's nothing but his concession speech, which by the way, I gave him Kudos for

Re: Tory a Come To Bump Bout Palin

I know but I still find it shocking since they keep talking about her running in 2012 but I guess not!!

<span style="font-weight: bold">***UPDATE*** Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron appeared on The O'Reilly Factor tonight and described in much fuller detail the truly astonishing behavior, and lack of knowledge, of Sarah Palin on the campaign trail, as well as the nasty infighting that resulted from, some would say, Palin's &quot;diva&quot; behavior.</span> (Earlier today, Palin said reports of her &quot;diva&quot; behavior and any tension within the campaign were &quot;absolutely false.&quot

Cameron relates how McCain aides were terrified of Palin's lack of knowledge of international, national, and even basic civic issues. Cameron reports that Palin was unfamiliar with the concept of &quot;American exceptionalism,&quot; and that not only did she not understand that Africa was a continent rather than a single country but also that during debate prep Palin was unable to name all the nations in North America.

Palin was apparently a nightmare for her campaign staff to deal with. She refused preparation help for her interview with Katie Couric and then blamed her staff, specifically Nicole Wallace, when the interview was rightly panned as a disaster. After the Couric interview, Palin turned nasty with her staff and began to accuse them of mishandling her. Palin would view press clippings of herself in the morning and throw &quot;tantrums&quot; over the negative coverage. There were times when she would be so nasty and angry that her staff was reduced to tears.

Watch the clip from The O'Reilly Factor below.

Cameron also reports, along with CNN, that McCain's senior foreign policy adviser was fired a week before the election for attacking, in defense of Sarah Palin, various McCain aides who he felt


EARLIER: Now that the 2008 election is over, reporters are spilling all the juciest, and previously off the record, gossip from the campaign trail. Much of it is about the infighting between Palin and McCain's staff, as Newsweek's treasure trove of post-election gossip reveals. However, perhaps one of the most astounding and previously unknown tidbits about Sarah Palin has to do with her already dubious grasp of geography. According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked &quot;a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency,&quot; in part because she didn't know which countries were in NAFTA, and she &quot;didn't understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a series, a country just in itself.&quot;

Re: Tory a Come To Bump Bout Palin

Obviously, the lady wasn't very bright. In my view, here are some 'pearls' from the intellect of Ms Palin:
- She didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was - stunning, considering she is running for vice president of the US.
- She thought that Russia's close proximity to Alaska constituted some major foreign policy credential.
- She thought that Putin, on visiting the US, would enter North America through Alaskan airspace, which would be twice the distance of flying over Scandinavia, across the north atlantic, into the US.
- In the debates, she didn't know what the term &quot;Achilles' Heel&quot; meant.
- She got punked by two comedians from Montreal.

Re: Tory a Come To Bump Bout Palin

It's like they picked her name out of a hat when they picked her! I can't even say choose, since if they had done homework first, surely they would have known what they were getting themselves into with this woman?

We must thank her though, for if they had done their homework on choosing just about any other woman for a running mate? Well, they pretty much handed Obama the election on a silver platter by choosing her. The race could have been closer or worse, had the r's picked a competent woman/anyone else/running mate.

Now that it's all said and done, I'd feel sorry for her but she is the worst kind of narcissistic sociopath there is. I have known people like her. Those kind of people feel no real emotion so the scandals will roll off of her like water off a duck.



her and rosie odonnel make a great pair!
