Palin Regrets Not Doing More Interviews (!)
In an interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, the Alaska governor explains what she would have discussed had she been more available to the press.

"I would have preferred more opportunity to speak to the media more often, because there were a lot of things that I think it could have, should have said that could have, would have helped John McCain," Palin told Van Susteren, according to a Fox News transcript. "I have such great admiration for him. I honor him. I love him. I believe that he is the best leader that we have in the nation right now, still, is John McCain." <...>

"I don't know, because I remember the discussion about Africa, my concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue, as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska's investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars, I wanted to make sure that that didn't happen anymore."

11. Rachel Maddow apologized for having trouble reading Palin quotes
I think it's those of us who think in logical ways understand things via grammar and structure. Those who do not, have no idea they are not actually expressing ideas. Also.

14. having tripped on LSD, listening to her is far worse
More like Jimson Weed or salvia divinorum, the term "ego death" comes to mind.

Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 01:09 AM by votesomemore
She sure thinks a lot of herself with zero verifiable proof.
I pity Alaskans for having such an ignorant and corrupt CEO.

13. She's addicted to being interviewed.
She reminds me of those family members who have a tragedy, and one of them enjoys being on TV a little too much.

15. Yet she had no problem giving access to "Entertainment Tonight"
and the "Insider" for two fucking months straight. Every. Night.

So maybe she's right. She should have sat down for some more in-depth, hard-hitting interviews.

Obama onlygot 365 EV's. Maybe he could have grabbed a few more.

16. I want her to blabber for the next 8 years. Scratch that....I want
her to blabber for the next 20.

The longer she talks, the more people will see how willfully, unforgivably stupid she really is.

19. Watching her trying to create a sentence...
is like watching a kid play with Play-Doh. It's a series of loopty-loop leaps in logic that lead asolutely nowhere.

20. "my concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue"
Relevance to you, huh Sarah Palin?

How about you make your concern to raise your kids and try to keep from stealing any more Alaskan tax dollars than you really need, mmm-kay? And brush up on your fucking grammar, you idiotic nincompoop.

25. how did this woman obtain a degree in journalism?
everything that comes out of her mouth is just one, weird run-on sentence, with misplaced propositional phrases scattered about.

27. I tried to watch that interview but that dead bear
hanging over Greta's shoulder was not only offensive to me but so distracting that 20 minutes into it I changed channels. :puke: x(
