Baby Sarah Takes Huge Step Forward
by sarabeth at 6:00 am on September 25th, 2008 in 2008 Presidential, Lipstick on a Pig, St. John McCainRemember all those stories about the McCain campaign protecting Baby Sarah from all those grown-up questions about foreign policy?
Well, thankfully we can say goodbye to that whole stream of embarrassing behavior. Women everywhere no longer have to cringe at the McCain campaign’s treatment of Sarah Palin. The McCain campaign has moved beyond that position. Baby Sarah was allowed to take a huge step today. The press was allowed to ask her one whole question. On foreign policy.
It’s too bad Baby Sarah wasn’t allowed to answer the question, of course. But I’m sure the McCain campaign is working on that. Or they will be, as soon as McCain pulls himself together to unsuspend his campaign. Before you know it, Sarah Palin will answer one whole question on foreign policy, carefully enunciating every word, just as if she were reading the answer from some teleprompter.
Meanwhile, here’s what went down yesterday, when McCain and Palin met with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvilli and Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko:
McCain then looked around the room and gestured as if to welcome questions. The AP reporter shouted a question at Gov. Palin (“Governor, what have you learned from your meetings?â€) but McCain aide Brooke Buchanan intervened and shepherded everybody out of the room.
Palin looked surprised, leaned over to McCain and asked him a question, to which your pooler thinks he shook his head as if to say “No.â€
Easy does it, baby. One step at a time. You heard that question just great. Grandpappy is so proud of you. And just to be able to pronounce those horrible names is a huge achievement. You’ve come such a long way, baby. And in such a short time, too.

Not Fair! Sarah Palin answered several questions From CBS anchor Katie Couric a few days ago. She showed tremendous skill in answering the question about her running mate John McCains record on De-regulation. She said “I’ll try to find some, then I’ll bring it to you”. Absolute JOKE ! She’s going to be a heartbeat away from the Most powerful position in the World. AMAZING !

Just to keep the facts straight, the Palin-Couric interview was yesterday. And, yes, it didn’t go well at all for Baby Sarah.
Not if McCain-Palin continue to commit political suicide at the rate they are right now.

Is any of this even for real?? Well, one of the important facts about Palin we have learned (besides she knows how to field questions) is that it takes 2 months to order her glasses. If they win, I’m moving to Canada!!

You can not let this person be vice president!!!!!! its nothing against women period. i have 3 daughters & this is not a person to be looked up to. Mccain says shes ready to be vice president but cant even answer a few questions. Come on if they are elected is she going to hide like Cheney? The terrorist would attack our country as soon as possible because it seems like she has no backbone. They need to stop complaining about sexism. because they are the ones being sexist. they want to baby her & protect her from the big bad media. Come on!!! If she cant even handle the media in our own country how is she going to handle anyone trying to cause harm to our country?

It is horrifying to me that someone who is running for vice president is hiding from questioning by the media. This is the person who could end up running our country. I guess if you don’t answer any questions, no one will know where you stand and you can try to get elected with your looks.
Give me a break! We’re in deep do-do and sorry but last I checked hockey mom wasn’t one of the desirable traits in our financial guru’s. How about having Suze Orman run instead…

Hey
Who cares about intelligence, this is America we have a right to be stupid. Look at McPalin, six years and six different schools to graduate from a four year school. McIdiot graduated 984th out of 986 students. That means he was the third dummest guy that graduated from his class that year. That makes his pick of Palin an excellent choice.She could dress a moose, talks funny,played basketball in school, abstinence for everyone else but my teenage daughter and her teenage boyfriend. Five kids one with down syndrome, Governor for 18 months and under investigation. Great compelling story. Lets look on the bright side, at least the Pakistani’s think she is hot.

Two things are amazing:
a) that this person is actually a candidate for Vice President
b) that they think the american public is also ignorant enough to elect these individuals
Does that say more about the candidates, America as a whole, or a flawed political system? How ironic is it, that’s it’s still very possible that Republicans could be running the white house? It’s a ludicrous concept that reinforces my belief that most people (In North America, anyway) are idiots. It’s the same thing up here in Canada. Our “Progressive Conservatives” are holding a healthy lead over the other parties (due in part to some terrible campaigns being run by the other candidates). But still, I would hope Candians would have the better sense than to elect a war-mongering country destroyer.

Funny thing – while the Pakistani president was staring so lovingly into Barbie’s eyes, his troops were actually shooting at our troops.
