These People Could Run Our Country.

I came across a great little write up of Katie Couric's interview with McCain and Palin from CBS Evening News. I am linking to the article below, and ill hit on some key points here that will hopefully make you think about how ridiculous these people are.  McCain just comes across as an angry old man to me, and Palin... jesus I don't know... 

Again, this is just quick. I could go into more detail, and prob. should... but I wont.

1.  Couric asked Palin about a statement she made regarding the US launching an offense on Pakistan to "stop the terrorists from coming any further in." .   She asked if Palin and McCain were on the same page on this, as McCain had said otherwise during Friday's debate.

Couric: "So, Gov. Palin are you two (she and McCain) on the same page?" 

Palin: "...We will do what we have to do to secure the United Sates and her allies," 

Couric: "Is that something you shouldn't say out loud, Sen. McCain?" 

McCain :"Of course not," . "But look, I understand this day and age gotcha journalism... Grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don't announce that you're going to attack another country."

Couric to Palin : "Are you sorry you said it?" 

McCain: "Wait a minute,"  "Before you say is she sorry she said it, this was a gotcha sound bite that...

Couric: "It wasn't a gotcha,"  "She was talking to a voter."

McCain: "No,she was in a conversation with a group of people talking back and forth, and I'll let Gov. Palin speak for herself."

Couric to Palin:  (what has she learned) "from that experience," the candidate replied, "That this is all about gotcha journalism...."

Ok, so lets break this down really quick.  Palin said something without thinking about it, just threw out some word vomit in the vein of what some people may want to hear to gain some support, and Couric is calling her out on it. It backfired.  McCain being the young hipster that he is, denounces Couric, and says that No, this is Gotcha Journalism (if you don't feel like following the link, think of it like leading a witness, or entrapment) which Couric, in my eyes, wasn't doing.  She was just reciting verbatim what Palin had said. Calling her out.

The Gotcha Journalism quip that McCain so quickly spouted really gives me a sour taste. I def. don't want to be voting for a person that is going to play games like that.  Palin fucking said what she said!  It wasn't made up, she said it!  Don't try to back track.  

I can see where he was going with it, but he was on the wrong page. 

2. "This is not the first time I've seen a governor being questioned by some quote expert," he said making quotation marks with his fingers. "I remember that Ronald Reagan was a cowboy. President Clinton was a governor of a very small state that had no experience either. I remember how easy it was going to be for Bush I to defeat him. I still recall, whoops, that one. But the point is that I've seen underestimation before. I'm very proud of the excitement that Gov. Palin has ignited with this party around this country."

 "This is not the first time I've seen a governor being questioned by some quote expert"   

I fucking hope not!  If we don't question our leaders, then we are just sheep.  Though.. I have to say we aren't that fucking far off.

" I'm very proud of the excitement that Gov. Palin has ignited with this party around this country.".....   

Yes John.  She has brought some excitement. And that statement you made proves to me that her addition to the ballot is purely a marketing ploy.  Taking advantage of the Hillary votes.
