Palin / Couric Interview World Verdict: Moose lady is a complete moron

[john9001]

the left would have done to Rice what they did to Powell, called her a "house negro".

[Yossarian]

Condi Rice was my first pick too. Unlike the op though I don't find Palin to be "a complete moron". She could hardly have gotten where she is if that were true. Sounds like more panic from the bitter and vitriolic left to me.

Look where Bush got with his IQ.

[Dadsguns]

YUP.  As is Letterman.

Are you sure about that?  I always thought he was a Dem.

[AKIron]

Look where Bush got with his IQ.

Not sure what you mean. Bush's IQ ha been estimated to be around 130. That's probably pretty average for US Presidents.

[Yossarian]

Not sure what you mean. Bush's IQ ha been estimated to be around 130. That's probably pretty average for US Presidents.

Well listening to him speak, I find myself thinking otherwise.  He shows very little sign of actually understanding any of the issues on the table, and in addition his speeches seem to be at best disjointed.

Jimmy Carter, on the other hand, is probably the most intelligent man (graduate-level work in nuclear physics) ever to occupy the White House

[Yeager]

Look where Bush got with his IQ.

would you happen to know what his (Bush) IQ is?  I sure dont.  Please do tell.

[Yeager]

Jimmy Carter, on the other hand, is probably the most intelligent man (graduate-level work in nuclear physics) ever to occupy the White House

I never would have guessed.  He seems more like a peanut farmer to me 

[Shuckins]

Most of the people working in the Federal Government undoubtedly have high IQs, so you would expect them to know what they're doing.











On the other hand, most are lawyers...

[Hangtime]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaavard Lawyers. And an old Mud Mover.

[Shuckins]

I think they pronounce it "Haavahd."

[Hangtime]

thanks.. I've always had trouble with the 'a' count and placement.

[alskahawk]

Not sure what you mean. Bush's IQ ha been estimated to be around 130. That's probably pretty average for US Presidents.

 I seriously doubt his IQ is much above average.

 OTH Jimmy Carter book smart, still lousy as President.

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

It no longer amazes me how some people feel they are entitled to pronounce the "world's verdict" when all they're doing is voicing their opinion. State your position or opinion, back it up, and let it stand on its own merits, rather than claiming the "world agrees with me".

Face it, she's not qualified. Say it. Say it out loud.


Reaction from the left:

Palin talks to Couric -- and if she's lucky, few are listening  James Rainey - LATimes
Her third nationally televised interview, with CBS anchor Katie Couric, found Palin rambling, marginally responsive and even more adrift than during her network debut with ABC’s Charles Gibson.

Shameless and clueless Sarah Palin  David Horsey - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
How would Republicans be reacting if Gov. Christine Gregoire were the Democratic candidate for vice president and she claimed that, because Washington borders Canada and sends trade missions to Japan and China and Russia, she is, therefore, experienced in foreign policy? And what if Gregoire also claimed to be a seasoned commander-in-chief because she is titular head of the Washington National Guard? We all know how Republicans would react: they would roar with mocking laughter. And they would be absolutely right to mock such idiotic pretense.

Reaction from the center:

I’m sorry — Sarah Palin is a bad joke  Jay Bookman - Atlanta Journal and Constitution
Palin is living, breathing proof that John McCain lies when he claims to put this country first over politics. She makes Dan Quayle look like Albert Einstein with a better haircut.

Katie Couric carves up Sarah Palin  Kansas City Star 
Palin looks unprepared to be vice president (and certainly president)

And even - just for the OC wingnuts - complete disdain from the far right:

    Jake Tapper quotes conservative columnist Kathleen Parker:
    Watching the CBS interview of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin did not exactly fill Parker with confidence:
    "Palin's recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

    Babbling Palin ‘makes George Bush sound like Cicero’  Rod Dreher
    a religious-conservative blogger who frequently appears on Fox News and was as recently as last week a Palin supporter, says the Alaskan Governor "was mediocre". Dreher says he felt "embarrassed" listening to Palin "regurgitating talking points mechanically, not thinking. [She’s] just babbling. She makes George W. Bush sound like Cicero."

And finally, here is Joe Scarbourough this morning. I mean, Morning Joe has caved on Palin!

If she can't answer basic questions, that's tough. Katie did not ask her tough questions, her questions were very fair. Apparently Katie asked her, "what's the worst thing Dick Cheney did", and she answered "Shooting his friend with the gun". Us Elections aren't a meritocracy, about picking the most qualified people, it's obvious she has very little knowledge of US facts. She may be a good person and a good governor, she has also has a high approval rating, but is this is the best person you can find for Vice President? but what does this say about Palin and McCain's judgment? - Morning Joe

I just saw this on youtube, and Couric was being a real b***h to her. I'm suprised Palin took that.
