I'd personally like to see a debate. Really badly.

The American people should demand that Charlie Rose gets to interview her.

Charlie Rose kicks ass.

Yeah but you can't have one because of liberal media bias and sexism.

The interview is being done over 4 days.

Therefore, (although ABC is pretty bullshit), almost ANY interviewer would softball most of the interview considering that if you piss off the handlers day one you dont get days 2-4.

And if youre the only one getting the interview and you dont get the interview you lose your edge and ego.

Not to mention if its chopped up over 4 days the handlers can rehabilitate questions and teach her how to steer the next days convos to that etc....

Basically the 'interview' is total bullshit. And it was only given in response to Bidens EXTREMELY LOGICAL question - if she cant handle the american press corps how dare the republicans say obama cant handle iran, russia, when palin cant handle CNN and by mccains words "must be ready to step into the shoes of the president" at any time.....why does Palin deserve a job that involves handling 'the axis of evil' if the US press corps is too rough?

It further proves that shes not qualified imho. If you cant stand the heat dont run for president. You dont have to answer bs sexism like "can you be a mom and vp at the same time".....but youre going to use THAT as a reason to not talk to the press?

WTF are you hiding?

The fact she is absolute shit and is just a complete ploy for McCain to win the election?

This race is getting stupider and stupider. I guess Obama is trying to rein in voters by calling Sarah Palin a pig. yeah yeah i know he says he didnt mean it that way but his audience sure did even going so far as to chant "no more pitbulls" after he said it. Imagine if Mccain in a speech said he was calling a spade a spade how would the obama campaign respond?

Eomer · 09-10-2008, 02:28 PM

Her name was never even mentioned when he said that comment. He was talking about how McCain has supported Bush on most of his policies, and how that wasn't change, and that even if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still going to be a pig. Palin was not mentioned. At all.

But go right ahead and tell yourself that he called Palin a pig. Jesus christ, do you ever buy talking points hook line and sinker.

Please, anyone can be trained in a week to sit through a softball, bullshit interview. And anyone can be trained in a month to debate Joe Biden. People seem to forget that these people have basically unlimited resources and shit else to do, she spends the rest of her time reading speeches written for her by McCain's people and setting women back 50 years with her bullshit "candidacy". Biden isn't going to eat her alive at the debates, I bet she makes up for any lack of knowledge with some endearing, Alaskan one liner about hockey moms.

I can't even keep up with this stuff anymore, I just refuse. This is so fucking bizarre, that this is really happening and not some bad SNL sketch starring Chris Kattan and that annoying chick who's face doesn't move.

Pakistan's military chief said Wednesday that no foreign forces will be allowed to conduct operations inside Pakistan in light of last week's "reckless" U.S. military ground operation.
Pakistanis in Multan protest what they say was a U.S. attack using Predator drones.

Pakistan's "territorial integrity ... will be defended at all cost and no external force is allowed to conduct operations ... inside Pakistan," according to a military statement attributed to Chief of Army Staff Gen. Parvez Kayani -- who succeeded Pervez Musharraf after he stepped down as Pakistan's army chief last year.

Ok, so we're no longer allowed to enter Pakistan in order to engage Taliban or Al Qaeda targets. I wonder if McBush will flip-flop on his stance that Obama was reckless to suggest that we should engage such targets even if Pakistan refuses to allow us entry. We're still calling these people allies, right?

Do you have evidence that they chanted that. I'm not saying I don't believe it but I've watched numerous videos of that comment and all of them cut off between 5-10 seconds after the comment and not a single "no more pitbull" can be heard.

Oh the sweet, sweet irony of Obama saying the McCain campaign is twisting words for the sake of politics. He has been doing personally as much as McCain...
