Cafferty: Was Palin Properly Vetted to Be VP?

[Afghanistam]

i think the cheap shot at palins husband and his dui was a little childish. but cafferty is awesome.

[robbiesean]

Absolutely nothing... But hey, everything is fair in politics..write or say what you want, then make your choice for whomever you want to drive this country off a cliff... Throw them ALL out tomorrow.....

[gombis666]

What does a DUI have to do with anything?

[Slayerfan84]

Of course not McCain picked this broad because, A. He thought he could attract Hilary Supporters. B. She does have HOT Legs! And C. she is officially a Governor. Well at least she was until she decided to quit and give up on those who supported and Voted for her! .

[Boobalopbop]

Sure he vetted her... Found out her measurements I'm sure.

[TAz69x]

lol, that last e-mail was hilarious. I love how Jack can't even help contain his laughter with the hilarity at that point. XD

[CharlesT2010]

@TAz69x Cafferty, thinks he is so funny, i'm sure he also laughs at his own jokes while others think, what the heck was that about. But then he is a marxis communist,

[DarthClam]

please guys, I'm not actually as stupid as the following comment would indicate:

watch from 0:51 to 0:59, lmao

[Celebrindan]

Thank goodness that Obama won!

While I have the utmost respect for Senator McCain as a person, and a Veteran, his choice of VP running mate proved beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind that he is no longer capable of running the country, if he ever was.

Sarah Palin will try, just like Mr. Potatoehead, to extend her 15 minutes.

She doesn't realize that, it's not only over, it's over budget, over dressed, and over due...

Her bid for 2012?

Going down in flames.

You can see it from Russia.

[CharlesT2010]

@Celebrindan: Russia, then go there ass hole.

[Celebrindan]

@CharlesT2010

Gosh!

I'm so SNUBBED!

How will I ever face the public again?!?!?

Oh, the shame!

:D

[mooneepondskid]

When McCain compiled his list of running mates how did Palin even make it into the top 5?...

[qarusel]

Man I love Cafferty. He runs on pure anger.

[CharlesT2010]

@qarusel: more like pure stupidity

[cyberghost115]

Who cares about 20 years ago..especially about her husband's arrest for DUI?!?!? This "logic" proves nothing against her "ability" to become VP? Cafferty...is probably the most un-informative, ignorant, im-mature organization in our country's history. Btw democrats...you complain about her experiance? she has done more than Obama...on about every matter imaginable related to politics. She went over-seas to our troops more than obama has. So dont bash her on going once or twice...

[edrammeh]

I can't believe your defending that wife. How can you defend that interview? How can you defend her argument pertaining to her foreign policy exp.? She can't name a newspaper or magazine she would read? What did she say in the 2nd Katie interview? "I hope Americans will privilege us..." She can't even survive on the national scene. When do you think her next interview will be? This is a shameful tragedy.

[CharlesT2010]

@edrammeh Oh wow, what a bunch of Dumocrat B.S. Obama does not even know how many states there are. But he does know how many muslim nations there are. Hmmmmmm

[cyberghost115]

First off, this idiot talking in the video, brings up sarah palin's husband's arrest 20 years ago for DUI...20 years people..who cares about 20 years ago? Obama openly admitted to doing drugs many years ago. How can you judge someone on their husbands minor screw ups 20 years ago...why don't we just bash obama for doing drugs?!?! Ever noticed that republicans can keep their matureness and cool longer and better than the democrats?

[iamstupidandold]

So much for Republicans keeping their cool for so long. You call this man an idiot yet you completely miss the point of this segment. In today's voting culture these types of things matter to voters. The media will spin all of this information whether it is fair or unfair for all of the candidates. He is simply discussing how bad of a decision McCain made with his VP pick. It is a legitimate argument considering all of the negative publicity she has received.

[andrewr1703]

ummm... when did obama admit to using drugs? lol you cant just go on youtube and post a bunch of bullshit that people supposively said. Look... Palin is an insult to us republicans. The fact that it was the best they could fucking do is a complete and utter slap in America's face.

[CharlesT2010]

@andrewr1703 look in the mirror ass hole, you are the idiot here,

[mkutz007]

Cafferty rules

[mkutz007]

that sucks

[clecnche]

sarah palin use to be a bitch as she was growing up, and that was why gop used her to charm the stupid Americans to vote 4 the devil. thats what the devil does.

[awesomerepublican]

"If it weren't so funny, I'd be crying."

awesomerepublican~

[HPhenomenal]

my dog is smarter than sarah palin, maybe he should try to be vice president.

[lightitupfool]

He met her once???? talked on the phone once???? SHES A PUBLICITY STUNT!!!!!!! and now its BLOWING UP IN HIS FACE! ahahahahahah

[kaiser0soze]

Sarah FAILin

[KMAmiabeach]

She's a moron - not ready to be anything- certainly not a heartbeat away from the presidency. Even fellow GOP are worried about her. She wasn't vetted- she was a desperate choice by McShame.

[Archivist1000]

vanbock ... it's easy to say he's wrong ... why don't you actually say what he said that is 'wrong' them, instead of just calling names?

[vanbock]

Asw usual, this moron is wrong. He goes on TV during his rare sober moments. It is incredible that even a lefty biz like CNN would employ this mutt.

[oehieze]

why? he didn't make any points? Where was jack LYING? he's shown that the crap we're being fed about her is a lie and the best you can do is drunk jokes. Why not just come out and confess that you want to vote for her ;cause she's not the black guy. why not tell the rtruth that you're ready to condemn us to FOUR years of ineptitude at the hands of a man that has no clue about our economy and a woman who has NO clue about the world outside alaska? all cause she's WHITE!

[mickel1470]

Basically... Hes what you call a "coward" they deliberately try and find any little reason to say Mccain and palin are qualified to lead even when they are obvious flops.. They don't wanna just say that its cuz Barack is black..He's also just doing what republicans always do when they are backed into a wall politically speaking.. They attack some ones character and personal life.. Notice in the republican convention they didnt really discuss the issues at all? But rather attacking Obama.

[AFallenLord]

Tell us which news network you watch, so that we can share the same flawless information.

[ChicagoReyna]

Palin..what a joke...she just got a passport two years ago. She has her own children raising her babies so she can have a career. No foreign policy experience, does not want to cooperate with the investigation of trying to get her ex brother in law fired. Won't give any interviews..THIS MAY BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT IF MCCAIN DIES IN OFFICE...ITS MCCAIN FIRST...THEN COUNTRY...This is change alright...SHORT CHANGE

[RosalitaBU8]

Don't cry TOO hard! PALIN/JINDAL 2012

[lightitupfool]

cry laughing so hard?

[Texaslocoman]

cAFFERTY IS EATING HIS OWN WORDS HAHAHAHA

[kasijr]

In the Words of Darth Vader... "McCain is a fool, he's a fool..." for picking her

Hilary is no replacement, she one of a kind and would have been nice to see her chew her ass up.

I Pray that most of my fellow americans will think first before making that vote. It's time for a Change People

Obama/Biden 08'

[maximusart]

Palin is a fraud. When she gets caught in this troopergate crap then she will be finished. she wants to pick a fight with Russia... Is she nuts? She thinks M.A.D. is a comedy T.V. show.

Hey barracuda, have you heard of Mutually Assured Distruction. Russia is not Iraq dumb broad. We will lose whole U.S. cities if we willy nilly go to war with Russia.

Give an interview you stupid trick. She needs to be as far way from washington dc as possible.. say Alaska somewhere.

[Longshowerz]

Jack seems pretty bitter, could it be because he can't use his liberal bias comments oh wait he can...

[reprt009]

I have wondered why her constituents and co-workers describe Sarah Palin as having been "hands off" in her approach to being mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. I now know that she had a town manager who was the one who actually made the decisions and ran the town of 5000+ residents. Palin promoted a sports complex and park in a city without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system.

[reprt009]

Administration of the town was taken away from Palin after she used her office to fire the Police Chief and many other town officials against whom she had personal vendettas. Appointment of the town manager was a way to stop a recall initiative against her being mounted by the town's residents in an effort to forcibly remove her from her first public office.

[33ithink]

I give my condolences to Jack. I'm sorry for your losses. May your family be blessed. For those who do not know, his wife passed away recently. Let us give moment of silence for him and his family. Hope he is back with us soon.

[randyinwa]

The republicrat two party system is dooming this nation to the road of debt and war. Become a Universal American by supporting our constitution. CampaignForLiberty(dot)com.

[monkeyman1140]

Palin has foreign policy experience.  She got her first passport in 2006.

[Texaslocoman]

Cafferty dude, have you seen the polls?? Have you heard Biden already conceded the elections to McCain -Palin?? Wake up Cafferty! Osama lost!

[monkeyman1140]

No, osama won, and keeps winning every time America elects a republican.

[tigercub888]

Eloquently put, Clericimachine. Nice name-calling Texaslocoman. Glad Americans are thinking calmly about facts and issues.

Mertens -- Because of his race with Clinton, Obama has been hit with more hard questions than any candidate.

Obama created legislation on nuclear terrorism and returned U.S. military personnel. When Bush approved a law to help the Congo, Obama was its primary sponsor. There's more if you want to actually find some facts, instead of just posting insults on YouTube.

[Updiddone]

Cafferty of the Coward's News Network

Does he ever get a face to face interview?

[azaria1949]

How little you know about Jack. Enough

[hrobbins]

just as obama's past was combed through, palin's past will be researched.mccain didnt do his homework his half baked, strategic pick of palin will come back to bite him. Trooper gate, alaska to ceed from the U.S., praying for oil pipelines. She is the gift that keeps giving.

[Texaslocoman]

Cafferty you are going to eat your own words when Palin get elected our first woman vice president. McCain-Palin 50% Osama-Breedin 44%

[azaria1949]

What PAlin knows? She know about Independence Party. She got money from the bridge. Sold the airplane at a loss to the State of Alaska. Hunts dogs, etc.

[Townclownsunite]

Yes McCain gave her the once over and said she was it. He wasn't listening to his brain or his gut....he was listening to his dick. He's a sick, dirty old man, much like the Republican party.

[MertensCW]

lol. What foreign policy has Obama ever made? Oh wait... I almost asked a legitimate question of Obama.

Excuse me.

[SEFIROTICASCENT]

What foreign policy has Palin ever made? What foreign policy has Biden ever made? Do you know the answers to your own questions? Have you watched Obama speak? He has made PLENTY of "foreign policies" very clear. I suspect you have made up your mind and don't listen to what the other side has to say at all.

[SEFIROTICASCENT]

By the way, I watch as much as I can of each candidate speaking, and time and time again I see Obama and Biden overcoming the other side with confidence, honesty, intelligence, and an eloquent ability to articulate their thoughts that far exceeds that of the opposing side. I began observing this campaign undecided, but after just a little research I was stunned by the rhetorical junior high style nonsense coming from the Republicans. Suspend you party ideals and really think about this.

[111generic]

"By exploiting mob emotions and by employing all modern methods of propaganda Goebbels helped Hitler into power.

Are they doing the same for Obama?"

No. But that's what the Bush ADMIN and their sycophants used to get us into Iraq...Patriot Act... Warrantless Wiretapping etc.

[realpundit]

How the hell do you properly vet a book burning, gay hating, fascist piece of shit like Palin?- let alone nominate her for vp?? This woman is unfit to hold any political office in any free nation. Dump the 99% of Congress that have violated their oath of office, outlaw lobbying, ban corporations from making campaign contributions, open the debates, replace the existing commission with a non biased panel, and send the Dems/GOP packing. Support third party candidates. Boycott McCain/Obama.

[NomadicAddict]

I support John McCain/Palin, but I would also like to know that she was properly vetted. I actually want them to win, and I know McCain can't afford a new, big Palin scandal come late Oct.

I know this is harsh, but something is still nagging at me about Trig. I really hope he doesn't turn out to be the product of an affair.

I'm not attached to Palin and don't want her to jeopardize McCain's chances of winning. If she is going to be a big problem, then better to know now, instead of later.

[tigerone1970]

Why do you, or anyone, support John McCain?

Haven't you had enough of Republican non-government and going to war on a whim?

[lboygrace]

Before you left-wingers talk about an inexperienced VP nominee(Palin was not a great choice, I full heartedly agree), why not talk about your Presidential nominee, who has just as much if not less experience and has flipped-flopped more than Palin has.

And who cares about a husband's DUI 22 years ago, or a pregnant daughter who is going to be married to the father of the child?

[forexdemosa]

You and all the right wing nutcases keep missing the point. MCAIN made experience the big issue. His biggest argument against Obama was his lack of experience. So it doesn't make since for him pick someone so unqaulified. Obviously this pick made no sense to no one. Now he's changing the theme of his campaign from experience to change. I find that hilarious. I know you must too.

Obama/Biden 08 -

Republicans have fucked this country up!!! Who the fuck is voting for Mcain?!?!

[VvredknightvV]

By exploiting mob emotions and by employing all modern methods of propaganda Goebbels helped Hitler into power.

Are they doing the same for Obama?

[Sehara]

Difference between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney? LIPSTICK!

[rhondadavis28]

love it!

[Sehara]

Thanks. Use it!

[almazrouei12345]

fuck CNN,they have been attackin Republicans ?!

[zubernick]

Media castigating itself over harsh treatment of Palin? A thing of beauty, sez I. Considering the stakes there should be bright light cast in every dark corner. Truth will out: win or lose, Palin is, at best, unready; at worst, unfit. I get queasy thinking about Obama winning but in light of Palin, McCain's cynicism and lack concern for the America to survive him is infuriating - I gave McCain more credit for integrity and wisdom than this. What a depressing cluster fff, er, bomb this is.

[knowitall1975]

This just shows that Mclame is a fucking joke...WOW....OBAMA ALL THE WAY...ANYONE WHO TALKS shit about obama not being qualified for the job can just stuff it...This lady PALWITCH IS A FUCKING JOKE...You have got to be kidding me....MCLAME Only did this to get the women votes and fucking OBAMA dumb fuck didn't do the same and pick Hilary...DAMN i wish Gore would get off his sorry ass and run with Ventura as VP.

[compaqowner]

If Sarah Palin was a Democrat you bet the Republicans would be having a field day with attack ads in her loose morals and lack of family values to have a husband with a criminal record, her under investigation for abuse of power and a teen age daughter knocked up with a baby on the way. Where is the outrage from the right when it is one of their own with political baggage that questions McCain's and Palin's integrity to be leaders of the USA? Who are the Republicans calling hypocrites?

[compaqowner]

I wouldn't say that CNN is a bastion of liberalism. You should ask Fox News how they report the news on Obama and the democrats and wanting to air out dirty laundry from the left. Fox news salivates at the chance to report and add sleazy comments on Democrats case in point John Edwards' affair and potential child out of wedlock. I Think it is fair game to expose Republican hypocrisy when one of their own is caught doing something their party condemns. Republicans are whiners in political debate.

[jsialofi]

this s ridiculous!!

why should she run America when whe cann0t even run the state 0f Alaska!!

she making us Alaskans l00k like a bunch 0f idi0ts!!

[AstoundedAtheist]

No, I would DEFINATLEY be asking for a resignation!

[km6xz]

This typcial of McSame's decision making style: "what is my best advantage now?" without researching, knowing or consulting with those who do. He is a loose cannon who has show time after time to say anything that to his thinking will advance his status. That requires a different view every time he is asked which explains why he flip-flops-flips continuously on every issue. He is rash, bellicose and irresponsible and will be worse than Bush on foreign policy. He WILL create new wars. Russia?

[sweervin]

Drip-drip-drip. Hurricane Sarah just keeps raining on McCain's convention.

McCain-UnAble '08. The Rightard dream ticket delivers government to the Democrats for at least a generation.

Wow. Kinda like watching the break-up of the old Soviet Union. How quickly the mighty have fallen.

[2real2befake]

republicans take your freakin medicine! yall went after Barack and Michelle relentlessly. quit whining and let her get grilled.

good work Cafferty.

[kevexxx]

I might be an angry left, but I am not a lunatic right, the rights are hypocrites and warmonger... The Palin family and John McCain belongs in the Jerry Springer show... It like watching an episode of the Bold & the Beautiful, it just get more disgusting as the days goes on....

[foxilocks2007]

Sarah Palin: The NEW face of the regressive party.

[epiphany4z]

More bad judgement ..Dam how could he do this...this is like a bad lifetime movie this choice.

Iraq, gas prices, housing crash, credit crunch, Russia, Iran, global warming, health care, social security,

And he thinks we want a gov with less than 2 yrs in office running things because she anti abortion even in cases of rape and insect and want creationism taught...ya that will fix everything...

[mmm413]

All McCain says is "but I was a POW!"

[BlackProteus]

People seem to forget that McCain was happily bombing the shit out of innocent civilians shortly before he was imprisoned, in a country that had not attacked the US at all.

[doc4600]

The only BOMB he dropped was in training. Just the training mission he was on when he was shot down!!! It is public record. That's what the GOP will not tell you.

[BlackProteus]

Really? Wow, I didn't know that. Is there a web site I can read that has the story behind that?

[tymjar]

15 minutes of chit-chat with Palin, months ago, at a governor's convention, and 5 minutes talking to Palin on the phone. Now, that sounds a really serious vetting process. He knew she was what rightwing religious conservatives would come out and vote for ...it's just that simple. Hey, it's political judgement here, folks. The story is entertaining, and disturbing.

[nutntooloose]

Republicans were hung out to dry by McCain's decision for VP. This decision was apparently driven by personal ambitions rather than the needs of the United States. By making it, McCain demeaned America, intelligent women, voters, and the office of the Vice President.

[hasssan1]

John McSmae : Putting Alaska first and then uhhh .... I forgot

Mcpain / Alin Worst Tickets ever since 1776

God bless Obama / Biden Our Next President and VP.

[tymjar]

Palin, The Alaskan Pork Queen, sent a 70-page memo to Sen. Ted Stevens, another Alaskan Republican, in February seeking $200 million for new Alaska earmarks. As mayor of the village of Wasilla, she lobbied hard for and won more than $26 million of earmarks.

[babakefentse]

Obama and Biden got you itchesbay shook!! Got a 30 year veteran and politician makin moves like he's never been a military man!! How reactionary can they Grand OLD Party become now??? Well we got 60 days so lets wait and see.

[atomicsedu]

Democrats are wondering who vetted Obama since he is slipping

[sweetbwaoy]

It's obvious McCain just wants bang her. Quit hating. Let the old man get some trim while he's on the road.

[dreamssoreal]

Ready on Day One? No-doing her homework. This is the best McSame could do?

[hassleoffa]

I love Cafferty ... Dude is hilarious ... He's like the "Grumpy old Man" of CNN ...

[eric10686]

well, hopefully the mixed guy can run this country fairly well because mcshame is surely not getting the nomination after all this mess

[indirajane]

John McCain: Putting Country Last.

[koolboyskee]

John Mccain is a piece of shit for what he's doing to our country. The world is laughing at us and I'm embarrassed and ashame. Sorry, but fuck john mccain. I wouldn't care if he won if he did it right, but this. John Mccain go to hell. He doesn't care, he's old and his life is almost every technically.

[klugyboy]

I'm and American living in Spain and they are laughing at us. They think we've all lost our marbles.

[saully1966]

Maybe McCain looked into her eyes and saw her soul!

What a fucking joke! It is time to stop being nice and call this what it is!

[klugyboy]

I think it's more like, "he checked out her legs and got randy..."

[hedgepethus]

WTF!? This is so crazy...I thought that Obama was the risky unpatriotic one...Plain Scares me

[Nutrino2179]

It's not just the Palin choice - McCain's entire campaign has been a disorganized mess. Ready on day one? If his campaign is any indication of his organizational abilities, he won't have a cabinet w/in the first six months.

[FrankThoughts]

O. K., O. K., already! Don't you people know that vetting is a dynamic process? There's no way to know all this stuff about a person in a year or two. Look how much we don't know about Joe Biden.

[codingkriggs]

Not sure if you're being sarcastic... Joe Biden is much easier to vet: every attack that could ever be waged on him already has been, because he's been a senator for so many years. Palin would require more vetting because she's new, and yet got vetted less.

[hypnofan35]

We keep acting like McCain is not a whacko? He certainly seems like a mind controlled whacktoid to me. He's a crazy guy who will soon have his all thumbs on the button. You'll be sorry. Stalin said, "It is not important who wins the votes as who counts the votes." Let's face it politics is far from honest. If you take over, or steal the election you just throw everybody a bone and you will never get caught or punished.

[DarthBombshell]

As I said before, it appears that to McCain, Palin's greatest quality is the fact that she's the person most likely to get Hilary supporters who don't get it to vote for him.

McCain didn't pick a Vice President. He picked a tool, in every sense of the word.

[tuft112]

america is still waiting for wolf to get off his knees

[zzzxxyy]

Wolf does suck, he's the original political TV tool. Well, Palin sucks just as bad.

[CityzenJane]

Best line in the whole damn shit storm

"She's Katrina for the rest of us."

Damn, I wish I came up with that.

[CityzenJane]

The traditional media seems to be slightly waking up! I don't think it will last...
