The Worst Sarah Palin Clip Yet

[ihavenobias]

By Cenk Uygur

I can't get over this clip of Sarah Palin on CBS with Katie Couric. No, it's not her infamous Russia answer nor her inexplicable financial bailout response. It's not that she doesn't really read any newspapers (my God woman, just name your local paper in Alaska! How dumb are you?). It's an overlooked clip from the original Couric interview about Hamas:



This answer should simply disqualify her from the race. Game over. Go home.

This is unacceptable. She has no idea what Hamas is or what their role in the Gaza Strip is. No idea. This person must not be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. You must tell every voter in every swing state that we cannot make this kind of mistake. The greatest country on earth cannot allow a person this ignorant to be our leader. We have to be better than this.

Can anyone say with a straight face that Sarah Palin is the best and the brightest we have in this country? Would anyone dare insult America like that?

1. The Worst?

Wow. I didn't think she could top her bailout answer.

[ihavenobias]

15. They're both terrible in different ways

:)

16. It's far, far worse

Because any person of below-average intellignece could have answered that question with some degree of specificity. It was a total gimme, a softball question. And instead she comes across like an eight year old trying to bullshit her teacher about homework that wasn't done on time. It was absolutely disgraceful.

And yet, it's clear from McCain's remarks to the De Moines Register's editorial board that he will not dump her...he lied through his teeth to them about her popularity. He will never ever admit he made such a huge mistake.

2. She can see the library from her governors's office (no, not her house)

so, she can say she's read ALL the newspapers and magazines ...

19. I like that, good one

:)

3. Nail on the head

I think you hit the nail on the head. The msm has made the question of Palin's experience into 'is she at least minimally experienced enough'. Personally I don't think of the Vice Presidency of the United States of America as an entry level position in the Federal Government. As you stated we should be looking for our best and brightest to fill the highest seats of our government not the barely qualified.

4. She thinks hamas is a chickpea dip.

;-)

7. The sad thing is, it's probably true!

In her defense hummus is pretty tasty with pita/pita chips.

5. McCainus' Judgment. McAnus' Judgment. McLumpy's Judgment.

6. wow...this is really unbelievable! She's clueless n/t

[VolcanoJen]

8. TPM says CBS has released the Couric questions for tonight's clip

And it looks like the Supreme Court question "rears its head in our airspace."

:rofl:

I can't wait!!!!

9. Reminescent of another politician, isn't it? The one that will go down

in infamy for his screw-ups, lack of curiosity, and saying he relies on his advisors to give him good advice. She'll be another person who doesn't care what the people think until she realizes they are the ones determining the tone of the legacy she would leave.

[ihavenobias]

21. There's no question. Let's hope America has learned its lesson n/t

[madaboutharry]

10. I agree. She has no idea what Hamas is or any of

the details of the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Her entire understanding of middle east politics is based on the fundamentalist Christian concept that the "Holy Land" needs to be in the possession of the Jews in order for the rapture to take place. That is the frightening truth about her knowledge.

12. Raw source youtube (no disrespect to TYT)

TYT is great but we need RAW SOURCE stuff on youtube, because undecideds wont watch this stuff...

[ihavenobias]

13. I understand, but to be fair he shows the raw footage in the clip

Also, Cenk voted for McCain in the 2000 primary (no, he didn't vote for Bush at any time, obviously). That's something you can tell skeptics who think it's just "liberal propaganda", etc.

[nini]

14. no no no!! SHE READS ALL OF THEM

that's why she was unable to answer in such a short amount of time. Don't you understand that?

18. Jeebus, Save us from Sarah

We cannot... MUST NOT... elect this woman. I know we're winning and there's every reason to believe that Obama's got this thing under control, but the fact that she even has a SLIM chance at the White House TERRIFIES ME. We don't need a win in November. We need a land slide. We need to put this so far over the top that their most desperate attempts at election fraud would fail.

23. Amen n/t

20. Great vid!

:toast:

[grantcart]

22. worse than Bush - is that possible?

[ihavenobias]

26. Sadly, yes n/t

24. Evening Kick!

25. I wouldn't get in an airplane if a pilot was

inexperienced, stupid with no good judgment.

A pilot has to be experienced with great knowledge of navigation, safe plane machine/plane parts, communication, knowledge of maps, etc. and has good judgment for safety for all passengers and crew as well as cities/people on land, able to handle well under pressure.

Sarah Palin would have no business being a "pilot" for Americans/Internationals. She doesn't. She's too stupid first of all whether or not she's "experienced" to be in charge. Right Wing fundies just have to be mentally ill to put their lives/their children/grandchildren in her hand like that. She is nothing but a little man behind curtain like Wizard of OZ. Freepers, quit making her be something she's not.

[ihavenobias]

27. Amen n/t

[nam78_two]

28. Yeah -I was surprised that one didn't get more play

I posted about it a couple of days back.

30. Hamas isn't a sexy issue n/t
