Palin in Trouble?
I've been trying really hard to stay out of politics and to not post about it, but OMG - is this a joke? I've seen SNL when it wasn't this funny. And unfortunately, when you are talking about the US and the Presidency, it shouldn't be funny like this. I don't hate her by any means, but I really worry that she might really be over her head on this. Is she really the second best Republican available right now? Surely McCain could have chosen someone else as a running mate.

It's unbelievable that every day she mentions about how Russia is right next door, 'this big powerful country' and that gives her experience with foreign policy, she harps on it even though everyone mocks her for that. also what Laurie said. "Nooooo, I worked all my life." well guess what. A lot of kids who graduate college, or while still in college, since they aren't changing colleges every year, work SO they can buy themselves a backpack and a plan & train ticket so they can actually experience other cultures. Reading it in books is NOT the same as travelling, Gov. Clueless.
She could be the best thing that has happened to Obama.
That crap about not having a passport made me throw up in my mouth. First, my 15 year old daughter is better traveled than this woman without leaving the country. As for me, I've had a passport for nearly 7 years (and I'm embarrassed to say it's ONLY been that long) and no one in my family is wealthy, or hell, even well-off!
Sarah Pales-in comparison to, well, just about anyone.
It also shows that she has no curiosity about other countries that she hasn't had any desire to travel as an adult. International travel in her family means going to fight in Iraq.
And notice, when Obama wanted to beef up his "experience", he actually went on an overseas tour. She went to NY, and did a tour of some of the UN building.
I agree that what she says about traveling is ridiculous given her job, etc, but I can say that I only got a passport last year at 37 and had never been out of Canada before then, and had traveled very little within Canada, for many reasons.
But don't forget, she's right there by the Russian and Canadian borders, so that counts. <eye roll>
No, for a while I wondered whether she was just exaggerating the stupidity to appeal to the GOP base.
But now I think it's really as high as she goes.
Oh yeah... "when Pootin rears his head..." WTF?
I love how she sneers at international travel as something indulged in by rich kids who are too lazy to "work".
I agree, she's Bush in a bad wig.
Oh, sweet God.
I read books, too, but I wouldn't say that I have a working knowledge of London because I read Bridget Jones' Diary.
Maybe I should watch the movie--it'd be just like being there!
And then I wouldn't have to worry about those pesky words. ;)
