Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric was, well, I don't know what to say. Very funny indeed and very scary.
Foreign policy is living next to Russia. OK ... what?
The more I hear about McCain and Palin, the more their nomination seems to be a put-on. Really. They are totally laughable characters who no one in their right mind would take seriously, let alone send to the White House. This is very much like Bob Dole's candidacy against Clinton. It was a joke.
Watch the interview a few times. Shut your eyes, click your heals and repeat, "There's no place like home." It's all just a very bad dream. Wait, maybe that's what she's thinking.
I don't know what future debates are planned in the run-up to the November election, but on reading this and listening to Palin, it strikes me that the more media coverage like this that Palin can get, the better for the Democrats.
Governor Palin sounds like she has been crammed with too many facts, and has had inadequate time to assimilate it all. Her performance rather reminds me of the scene in "My Fair Lady," in which Eliza Doolittle babbles on at the Ascot opening races, elegantly transitioning from the rain in Spain to hurricanes in Hampshire.
It has been so great to watch people in the media talk to Sarah Palin like a kindergarten teacher talking to a student. If only they had treated Bush this way for the past eight years.
As bad as Bush is, try to imagine how much worse she could make things for everyone. If that scenario does play out, you can also expect that the likelihood of another female candidate is going to be pretty low for a long time to come.
Can't we have people in the White House that we don't have to be ashamed of anymore instead of the McPain train wreck?
W claimed to have looked into Vladimir Putin's eyes and "seen his soul." I look into Palin's obviously panicked eyes and see the toy monkey with the cymbals.
