Palin: "I'm the new energy"

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/couricandco/main500803.shtml

<snip>

Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you've said you have been listening to Joe Biden's speeches since you were in second grade, something like that.

Sarah Palin: It's been since like '72, yah.

Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate - is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden's been around a while?

Palin: Oh no, it's nothing negative at all. He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate. And voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.

2. How many years did Palin spend in the 2nd grade?
Something tells me her grammar school record matches that of Jethro Bodine.

4. She leaves herself so open for punishment...

"I'm... the new ideas"

If she's going to to do any more interviews, she needs to stop making statements that beg for "Like what?" as a followup.

21. Well, as Palin's father said, "She can do anything she wants to be."

7. New energy.
That bulb burned brightly for a couple of weeks but grew dim very very fast. By Friday morning there should be little more than a flicker left.

18. New ideas?
She brings to the table the same failed ideas that the Republican Party has used for the last 25 years.

The only thing different about her is that she's a female.

19. Somebody call T. Boone Pickens!
We've found the answer to Amreica's dependence on foreign oil.

Hook that skank up to a turbine and were good to go.

If only stupidity were measured in megawatts.

25. So, if 'new energy' is what we need, should it come from the TOP or from the VP's chair??
