Oh Palin what would american politics be without you. She’s as cunning as Gwede Mantashe at press interviews!

jorj bush's inglish teechr

how pathetic! Notice she didn’t answer one single question from Katie – it’s all conclusory statements with no examples to back it up. Any one with a college education could have performed better than this Barbie doll

Just keep delaying the debates!!!!!!!

History makes me doubt white USns. They will Obama becuase they’re out of ideas and leadership in white folks.

But did Obama promised as didvedends to those who financed his campaign? *** for tat!!

Amy D.

This transcript is not correct. She never used a “g” at the end of any word. Why was it edited and corrected?

For example, she said “goin’…interestin’…waitin’…”, etc. She also didn’t say, “I’ll bring them to you.” She actually said, “I’ll bring ‘em to ya.”

There should be no editing of any candidates remarks.

Oh my God…. just give us 1 example of the self proclaimed “maverick” in action over 26 years and she can’t!..she will TRY to find some and get back with her…. noting like being informed and prepared… this would be comical, if it weren’t so important…I wonder if she can say Democratic landslide…

Matt

omg. the video clip. more cringy than the first season of The Office.

i ain’t wantin’ to keep runnin’ for VP anymore ya’ll this is hard stuff. i want to get back to a huntin’ and get these lights off me…

Cynthia

Oh, drat–the transcript misses the part where Palin licks her finger and holds it up in front of the camera like she’s trying to feel non-existent wind at the time she’s talking about Obama apparently “going to do this and see what way the political wind’s blowing”.

WHAT AN IDIOT…IS THIS WHO IS GOING TO RUN THE COUNTRY IF MCCAIN DIES IN OFFICE…YEAH RIGHT!!!

Stephen

Wow…. Just wow…. I didn’t realize anyone could be that stupid and non-forthcoming. If McCain and SP are elected – America is doomed.

Patrick Sherwood

If this is the best that McCain could do for a V.P. choice, he does not deserve the Presidency. I do not see how McCain can allow her to participate in a debate with Sen. Biden. She is a media disaster. My colleagues and I are not impressed. Nor should the electorate be and especially the undecided voters. By the way, is anyone going to mention McCain’s involvement in the Keating 5 Savings and Loan scandal during this campaign? I agree he was a Maverick who cleverly escaped disaster back then. Good Luck John McCain, you lost this undecided voter!

Lisa McIntyre

Count me as one more person who was going to vote for McCain but gets further and further from him every time Palin opens her mouth.

Count me as one more woman who is disappointed that this was the best female Republican he could come up with.

Kym Hayes

I cannot believe that some Republicans will still vote for these idiots. If I were a true Republican (and I am not) then I just wouldn’t vote. They are a joke. John McCain and Sarah Palin are both uncapable of running this country. McCain has taken this campaign and made a circus out of it.

Roncol

I think the election was decided tonight.

Katie’s interview with Palin was almost hostile. I thought Katie was very unkind to Sarah Palin, from a political, reporter,and from a human spirit aspect. I have never heard her ask questions of Obama or Bidden as complex
or hostile as she questioned Palin. Maybe if she or the other liberal media did, they would find out what the democrats know or don’t know. Who the heck cares whether or not or when one gets a passport? I guess she has to prove herself in the company of all those liberal network male counterparts. Katie has gone from assertiveness to agressiveness.

Wake up America!
this is serious business.
The fun and games with parading the beauty queen are over!
We already lost the world’s respect by having a not so sharp thinking President for the last 8 yrs.
Sara Palin can make us into the laughingstock of the universe.
We have SO MANY intelligent, COMPETENT people in this country, let’s give them the power!

Cream Juicy

This would be hilarious, if it weren’t so scary. Though it’s still hilarious. God help us.

Ibukun, NC

Let’s be frank folks, if it were Obama putting up this performance, he would have been laughed out of the building early in the primaries. Palin is an embarrassment to the multitude of women who would have handled this interview a hundred times better!

susan mayers

Oh my G-D ! what an AWFUL embarrassment of an interview with Palin that was – NONSENSE – ! Poor America, we must be a laughing stock to the rest of the world, were it not for the utter seriousness of the financial melt – down. I personally desire that an
EXTRA-ORDINARY person (male/femail/black/white/) be elected to this extraordinary job of being president of the united states. I do NOT want an ordinary person to have this job at all!!!!! And I personally do not care if I like them AS LONG AS THEY ARE EFFECTIVE!!!!! AAAAAAAAAARGH!

Christina

Is THIS what the Media said energized the Republican Party???
The sadly inappropriate Sarah Palin is the equivalent of self-immolation for the Republican Party!
Laughable woman, makes me wonder what on earth she’s doing in politics. Just like Murphy’s Law says, she was promoted to her level of incompetence. It’s strange enough that she was governor of Alaska with the “brain” she commands, she should have known her inadequacy well enough to stay right there as governor, and not attract any spotlight on her.

Peggy McGilligan

“I’m just going to ask you one more time – not to belabor the point.” A.) Belabor: argue or elaborate (a subject) in excessive detail: belabor the obvious. B.) Point: an argument or idea put forward by a person in discussion: he made the point that economic regulation involves controls on pricing. Was Katie Couric making a point, or was she asking a question? Beyond the two pertinent and most recent examples of John McCain’s record, was Katie eliciting information in excessive detail, or just murdering the King’s English? Ms. Couric did in fact ask for a list, and Ms. Palin offered to provide it. What’s the correct answer? You’re right Katie, John is an obvious fake and I’m totally clueless. D’oh! Sorry for not being more straightforward, but it’s moose hunting season. Come-on up to the cabin; you can see the Kremlin from the roof. I’ve got two new moose hats, one for both you and Charlie Gibson: http://theseedsof9-11.com

I am not an American but I am not conservative. I would like somebody to tell me how does Sarah Palin rate with:

1. Bush -8 years-19% approval rating- many Americans on CNN call him a moron and a lame duck – Congress has even lesser approval rating of 9%)
2. President Clinton: No war for 8 years,great trade and budget surplus- also a lame duck towards end term for having oral *** in office.

Can Sarah do worse? Perhaps she would have policy advisers (hopefully better than Nixon did). She is no Harvard graduate like me and the most of you. Why not give the Hockey Mom and yourself a break?!!

Lucinda

There is an error in the transcript of this article. In the 5th paragraph, the transcript has Palin saying “I’m all about the position that America is in and that we have to look at a $700 billion bailout.” This sounds like a quote from an airheaded teenager. It was clear to me that Palin said “I’m ILL about the position that America is in…” Makes a difference, doesn’t it? Was this transcribed by an airhead, or someone who assumed she is, and would say that. Responsible, accurate reporting? Perhaps because I live in Minnesota, and some people here have speech patterns similar to Palin’s, this was obvious to me. Or maybe I’m predisposed because I like Palin, others hear what they want because they DON’T like her. A lot of Minnesotans love McCain-Palin. This is the first time this state has a chance of going republican since 1972! Maybe it’s because we understand what she’s saying!

I am not surprised by the obvious bias of Katie Couric , Barbara Walters and many more. Where are the fair and unbiased reporters? For this reason I will not be watching ABC, NBC and CBS networks until after the election. We must not be swayed by false hopes but by truth and the undeniable need for experience in this up coming election.
Your life and saftey depend on it.
