Sarah Palin Interview with CBS News' Katie Couric

[clouddancer9875]

Palin makes George.W.Bush look intelligent.

They said she had foreign policy experience, they said she was the most "qualified" person in America when it comes to Energy. When asked simple questions on the economy, foreeign policy and Energy she was like a moose caught in headlights....CLUELESS

[4dafifteen]

U are a great talker!

Keep up with this shit,

WORD!

[mistereveready]

mccain most likely chose palin as his vp when cnn or whatever was commenting about how much many women hate mccain. palin's first speech was like "hey women pissed that clinton lost, vote for me instead!" and quite right, he is 70, and more so i dont think he's qualified. too bad obama sucks too. probably would have chose condoleeza, but would tie him even closer to bush's rule. but hey, at least if she is his vp, not many would want him assassinated. it'd be like bush with a vagina.

[pasfresh123]

maybe mccain wants to show that he doesn't need anybody, or he likes a challenge. "I'll get elected despite her".

[austrotexaner]

pasfresh123 - could be (lol). This time around she did not do that bad, but one could tell that she simply remembered what she learned at debate camp...

[broncofan599]

definitely not

[micers]

An old drunk man who remembers what it was like to buy an ounce of dope for four dollars...

Really credible.

[austrotexaner]

micers - reflecting on your life?

[HigherTruth911]

sounds like the old times were kind to micers. 4 bucks for an ounce, damn. The market for dope sure has increased over the last few years hasn't it micers? :)

[pgproducer]

She gave me a migraine . . her frustration rattled my brain . . it is pathetic and sad. Her reference to Putin "rearing his head' is an example of dangerous lack of diplomacy. What a comment . . somebody has to control this woman . . this is really scary. McCain rolled the dice in desperation . . . bad decision making. Let's hope Obama makes it into office. He is Presidential and intelligent calm and in control. He can clean up the mess we are in and restore our image worldwide.

[austrotexaner]

pgproducer - there has been a lack of diplomacy for the past 8 years. What I don't like about the democrats is their unwillingness to compromise. Why not propose keeping abortion legal for the first 6 months of pregnancy, for example, and outlaw late term abortions? But no, it's either all or nothing. That is stupid. But then again, they seem a million times better handling international issues as well as the economy, then their counterparts.

[HigherTruth911]

Why did McCain pick Palin in the first place?

[austrotexaner]

HigherTruth - to get the women vote.

[ElburroE]

If Palin had any self-respect she would drop out of the race. McCain really did her, and us, a diservice. Help us if she becomes the Veep.

[austrotexaner]

larrydarryldarryl - you are being sarcastic, right?

[slicingwater]

Man that Palin interview scares me too she knows nothing about the world. Anyone with common sense can see she is way out of her league

[toofless]

she was 1000 times more articulate and fast thinking on national tv than this tard from god knows where. the problem people have with her is because we've been entranced for so long by talking heads and media that when someone comes on who speaks truthfully like a normal American-but LOOKS like a polished tv a-hole... it seems goofy. this is government not entertainment. it's public service. SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS IT WAS THRUST UPON HER! she's the anti-obama, she's right, & she will learn fast.

[Iciphers]

Excuse me, but the fact that she speaks truthfully is made obsolete by the truths we are given from her. Sure, she speaks for what she believes in, from the heart, and expresses all these other traits that the normal person would respect. But she is crazy. She doesn't know anything about, well, anything. A terrible choice by McCain. America doesn't need a truthful idiot JUST because they are truthful. And don't insult the video creator, he expressed himself well, unlike you.

[austrotexaner]

Iciphers - I agree totally with you. You cannot believe in something and be truthful about it, like how to deal with other countries, if you don't know the political, and often even the underlying realities, pertaining to these countries. Thanks for commenting.

[toofless]

If you think governor sarah palin, for real, in the real actual world, is crazy and knows nothing about anything- but this fat foreign drunk guy in his basement expresses himself well then you are either unworthy of being a registered voter... or are actually unregistered. as in underage and not allowed to vote. grow up people. sarah is learning the ropes about people interpreting her with pure meanness. like bush had to. but if you think obama & biden are a better wiser choice- god help us.

[phoratio]

I think Austrotexaner knows far more about anything than either you or Sarah Palin.

Your statements are incoherent and illogical. How can any voter be considered 'unworthy'? Is it not their inalienable right to choose representation as they see fit?

[toofless]

According to law MANY citizens are considered "unworthy" of being voters. Convicts, children, and the mentally handicapped for example you smug punk. And congratulations for your opinion about me and Sarah Palin based on this pg. Point is that bashing her the way people are doing here is not only WRONG but INACCURATE. Lacking in both respect AND ability to discern human behavior.Bottom line is she's a hugely popular governor, and you are a bitchy blog-poster & this vid is from a drunk FOREIGNER.

[austrotexaner]

toofless - so you are a racist, isn't that cute? Just so that you know, I am as much american as you can ever be.

[toofless]

I was referring to your apparent nationality my goofy friend. I apologize if it seemed I was talking about your race. I can't tell the difference anyway. My point here is that it's one thing to criticize, it's another to vent meanness at our candidates, and it's an entirely OTHER thing to be looking in on our system of government and tossing tomatoes from your basement if you aren't even a U.S. citizen. I just think a man of your age should know better.

[HigherTruth911]

tossing tomatoes is a whole lot better than tossing sallad. Isn't it Toothless.

[toofless]

what the hell does that mean? are you comparing a blogger's behavior to your perception of a governor's demeanor and decisions? tossing tomatoes is childish and retarded. you have an opinion about the future of our leadership then say it. don't be all "wow guys this is crazy this woman is insane... blah blah" while holding a cocktail in your basement, broadcasting in a public forum globally. how can you possibly defend this blowhard?

[austrotexaner]

toofless - if someone who seeks divine protection from witchcraft is not crazy, who is (and just in case you have not seen the video, google it).

[austrotexaner]

toofless - again, why do you assume I am not a citizen? Because I have an accent? My bro Arnold has the same accent, and he is governor of California. It is that assumptiveness that makes you appear racist. Last but not least, I don't think my comments are mean, I just pointed out the obvious.

[toofless]

ARE you a us citizen?

One of these responders emphatically said he was from australia and I thought it was the vid poster. How long have you been a citizen? How familiar are you with midwestern accents and how people like palin express themselves? what I'm saying is that if it's not right for me to judge YOU and bash your integrity when you're holding a cocktail and camwhoring, then it's not appropriate for you to insult her. you hit below the belt first, so I'm here with fire defending.

[austrotexaner]

toofless - Sure I am a citizen. But that is beside the point. Fact is that Palin could not construct a sentence that made sense and showed zero knowledge about world events. And you want to be led by her? Damn!

[toofless]

you don't think you were below the belt because you don't hear her words and motives you hear the delivery. if it's only her answers that are wrong... then take down those IDEAS don't attack HER derisively. you're behaving like a child. trolling on youtube influencing the younger viewers here. when you attack someone you don't get to claim higher ground against their defenders. It doesn't matter if I WERE a racist. you were prejudiced first in how you hear palin. burn.

[MateoMathis]

Please, just stop toofless. There are plenty of people who think like austrotexaner, including PLENTY of conservatives. Conservative Syndicated columnists criticize Palin just as harshly as austrotexaner does. Even the National Review had a column titled, "She's Out of Her League" by Kathleen Parker. You think they're "behaving like children"? Why don't you tell Kathleen Parker to burn? She just completely dismisses Palin on every single level, especially on her delivery.

[phoratio]

Indeed, by law those aforementioned people cease to be voters.

People are 'bashing' Palin based on the way she has expressed her views, much the same way you've bashed Austrotexaner for the way he's expressed his.

If i'm a 'bitchy blog-poster' then what does that make you?

[toofless]

oh I'm so glad someone made this argument. what it makes me is the guy DEFENDING a governor who was chosen to run for vice president who is getting used to the cynical perceptions of the national spotlight. It means I get to match fire with fire. YOU asswipe bullies hit below the belt first so I get to unload because you asked for it and need it. That's how the world works. MY POINT here on this pg is that you're NOT bashing her views fairly ur making fun of how she expresses them. U R BITCHY.

[phoratio]

It's hard to bash her views 'fairly' when she lacks the ability to convey them clearly. She comes across as a well groomed parrot completely out of her depth.

[austrotexaner]

toofless - Why is it too much to ask that people who run for the highest office have knowledge about world events and at least some brains? She knows nothing and hence should have stayed in Alaska, continueing her quest to get her ex brother in law fired.

[austrotexaner]

toofless - Damn dude, do you always wake up grumpy?

[austrotexaner]

toofless - why so angry? It's not my fault that you lost your crackpipe.

[toofless]

I love this comment. I'm starting to dig you now...

[austrotexaner]

toofless - when you say she is "anti Obama" you are also saying that she is anti health care, anti tax break for middle class families, anti sanity when it comes to foreign policy, etc etc etc....

[toofless]

uh, no austrotexblahlah. actually I'm a democrat and I wish we had a candidate like mccain with more liberal domestic stances. when I say she is the "anti-obama" I'm referring to the slickness vs earnestness, command leadership vs arrogant opportunistic ambition. and obviously "sanity" in foreign policy is in the eye of the beholder. obama is the crazy one. batshit nutjob playing off fears vs doing the right thing even when facing a public as vicious as folks like the ones found on this page.

[Iciphers]

toofless, it sounds a lot like you're trying to convince yourself that the candidate you support (obviously McCain) never makes any mistakes, despite what the rest of us have seen. You say she is "learning the ropes", "like Bush had to", have you any idea the state your country is in because of Bush? If not then I don't know why I'm wasting time arguing with you, there is a good reason for the interpretation. I'm not registered. I'm Australian, very concerned for the rest of the world.

[toofless]

That's the point exactly, it's not about whether mccain and palin make mistakes!! it's whether they are deserving of more respect than the people on this page, some of which are not even americans, are EVER going to give them no matter what they do. You are children. They are smart people doing their best, and that is worth the growing pains. Because the alternative is to let those with corrupt motives gain influence. If Repubs were wrong on foreign policy I'd want them gone. They are RIGHT.

[Iciphers]

It is very possible for average members of the public to be more intelligent than these people. They're just people, being elected by other people. When they do something that deserves respect, they'll get it, so far, some flowery speeches, commercials attacking each other and some debates is all we've seen. Don't raise your "leaders" so far above you that they become a different species.

Vote for "Bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran" -(McCain) If that's your type of foreign policy.

[toofless]

You're full of shit. Palin and McCain BOTH have lived entire lives of doing things deserving of respect both in and out of office. It's Obama that is world-renowned for "flowery speeches" do your homework. And accusing me of "raising my leaders so far above head" is pure projecting. The fact that I see them as human peers is what made me incensed enough about your words that I bother defending them to you. It YOU who holds OBAMA too far above your head to see that he is pure ego.Palin's sincere.

[Iciphers]

Whatever, I don't even care that much. I haven't even mentioned Obama yet, I don't need to hold anyone above my head because I'm not voting, as I said before I'm Australian. Having the worst attendance record in Washington out of any senator isn't exactly respect worthy, being a governor for Alaska for a couple of years? As I said before, sincerity won't do any good when her foreign policy is "You can actually see Russia from an island in Alaska!"(-Palin). I'm done.

[faething]

Palin kind of scares me too.

[Antonio33s]

So drunkards are also for Obama? Thank you for showing us why we have to vote for McCain. Additionally, Castro, Chávez and other dictators in Latin America used CHANGE as their slogan. They seem to speak the same language of lies and manipulation as Obama and his supporters. By the way, Castro, Chávez, Morales, Correa, Ortega, FARC and other terrorist who hate the United States want Obama to win. I wonder why?

[austrotexaner]

Antonio33s - "Drunkards" for Obama? Well, that would have to include good old Jesus as well, right? He was, after all, called a "wine-biber", and a "gluttonous" man. Hm...not a bad vote to have!

[ulovit1]

Yeah, but even drunkards can see that that interview was pathetic and scary as hell. I could have answered those questions better than her by just watching fox for 2 hours. While your insulting Obama, I don't hear you saying anything about Palin. Are you ashamed of your republican VP nominee? Just curious...because you should be... sorry

[pgproducer]

She gave me a migraine . . her frustration rattled my brain.

[austrotexaner]

pgproducer - ha ha!

[Demmee]

You are right. She's full of bullshit.

[inspirationxx]

As you can see, America is in turmoil and Russia is already taking advantage of positioning itself for world power. Palin in an embarrassment, John McCain is a self loathing person to play on Americas emotion by electing palin as a running mate. What kind of person would put America at risk? I wonder if MccAin was in A prision camp ,as he was, would he have faith in Palin to be the one to get him out?

[austrotexaner]

inspirationxx - you posed a very interesting question!

[greenwalk7313]

Palin is going to get special treatment during the VP debate. McLiar requested that the responses be short. It's obvious, McLiar knows she will make a fool out of herself if she goes free style on her responses. Unbelievable the special treatment this lady is receiving.

[oakeysmokey]

that is messed up. I heard that Palin and Biden can't address each other either.

RIGGED!!

[inspirationxx]

Does she ever give a short answer? She meanders leads herself on a treasure hunt.

[austrotexaner]

greemwalk - where did you hear that?

[tripstahz]

I'm sure the GOP will find some way to manipulate the system and turn it against the Democrats. Wasn't just ironic the surge and economic plunge became so relevant all of a sudden? I'm sure we'll see more bullshit helping Palin's case. I just hope Biden is prepared for it.

[Thleepricon]

So right on, I'm from Sweden and I hope for god sake that America do the right choice and elect Obama, it's sad but true but the president of America effects us all not just Americans.

As you said, it's an health issue if McCain get's a stroke that isn't that rare in his time of age, we're fuck't to keep it short.

Well you where right on man, enjoyed your movie and nice that you took the chance to speak up, more than most would have done so credits to that.

Signed, a worried guy from Sweden.

[calli505]

I wonder how much this guy got paid to make this video against Sarah Palin. Pathetic on his part.

[thendino1]

Why is pathetic b/c he spoke the truth...lol....you're a fool because you want an idiot to lead the country

[amgrunner08]

Yeah, last time I checked you do get paid for making youtube videos. Youre an idiot for thinking this.

[austrotexaner]

calli505 - I wish somebody would pay me :)

[zaphod2]

halli hallo ! ganz deiner meinung ! woher aus österreich kommst du ? grüße aus krems/wien

[austrotexaner]

zaphod2 - Wien...Gruesse aus Texas!

[tammahoney]

i like her, and feel that she will be a asset to the everyday people.

[austrotexaner]

tammahoney - I like her to, but not as our next potential president...(shudder!!).

[FreePlay]

Palin talked to Katie like she was a kindergartner. It was kind of sickening.

[TheThirdRevelation]

She doesn't blink at all, either. It's like she is from Stepford or something.

[Clemburke1111]

Sarah Palin, to me is mentally ill, with her extreme beliefs.

[austrotexaner]

Clemburke - it is puzzling really that the mainstream media does not bounce on those beliefs...maybe we not only need a new political direction, but also a truly independet national media outlet.

[Clemburke1111]

austro, I will never understand why people do not focus on some ones beliefs, and why we must respect a persons beliefs, I just want one person to tell me why we must.

[briancobes]

I can't imagine Palin as President...it would be terrible

[austrotexaner]

briancobes - more terrible then Bush. And no, I could not even imagine - until I heard Palin talk and learned more about her beliefs, that a more terrible choice did even exist in this great country of ours.

[Baybygirl17]

Thank you for saying exactly what I have been thinking. Unbelievable that McCain would choose someone as inexperienced as Palin. I was leaning towards Obama but had not decided 100% yet. I listened to Palin at the first opportunity and my decision was immediately clear. With disbelief, I turned the channel. I couldn't take her seriously. We have to put Obama in the White House. Choosing Palin is clearly another McCain stunt. They are not a choice for the American people.

[bikolchance]

OMG! I would vote for you before I vote for his princess to nowhere ignorant ya' know what!

[wwwiamb]

yes i agree she freezes up when she talks!!!

[thebibleisfiction]

right on man
