Is that a real FOX clip? I would have thought that they would just run clips about how well she did. Not that they would suggest that she might have stumbled.
She couldn't name a single news publication she reads. I can name at least 5 off the top of my head, that I actually read, and I'm not a fucking polisci major or any thing like that either. That ridiculous pantsuit may have a real shot of getting on the GOP ticket for 2012. Frankly, I hope she does. She is unelectable, and the inevitable opposition from within the GOP will fracture their base and destroy the party. Perhaps permanently, then the Greens will be the left and the Dems the right.
What magazines do you read? THAT is a trap door question? And yes Katie is intelligent and would make a better President than Palin. She knows the history of events and the players. Can you imagine a meeting between President Palin and the leader of Iran or Korea? If Katie made her cry these guys would eat her alive!
Oh wow, I hadn't even thought of that possibility! Not surprised they didn't give that a go. But that is a real hot bed of politics by some heavy hitters. They couldn't have made that fly. Remember Bush appointing that woman for it? It was just a diversion so they could slip the vote for "home land security " past the people. She wasn't qualified either, it was just a diversion.
What's a trapdoor question? Can someone address that specifically? is i a question that has no right answer? or is it just a question that she didn't know the answer to? just... looking for clarification from the Palin camp on that one.
i agree. couric couldn't be any clearer. they were questions like "can you give us an example of another supreme court example?" or "what is your opinion on the bailout?"
such simple questions and palin couldn't even find an answer. i would hope that a vice president would know of other court cases as well as have an opinion on economic legislation. good gracious
I will take the challenge to go up against Gibson or Couric bcuz I read the friggin" news, I've studied history, I know gov & politics. I know what I think and why I think it. That's all it takes to "hold your own" against percieved "trapdoor questions".
BTW I am just a simple citizen and I could stump Palin as well bcuz she doesn't KNOW enough to aviod traps, she doesn't know why she thinks things bcuz someone had to give her a talking point since she didn't have a position to begin with.
if you can't hold your own and answer the questions to the best of your knowlege and not beat around the bush lol katie was fair,she asked questions that were valid, a vp should do their homework so they are prepared before their nominations. McCain didn't care about her experience, he just wanted to put a woman in there, now if connie would have been vp but she's smarter then mccain. Palin was his biggest mistake, she is a female Dan quail. Palin was to be seen and not heard after the election
OMG!!! trapdoor questions??? How many excuses can you make for this woman? I guess asking "what newspapers do you read", would be consider a trapdoor question... Give me a break..
Nerve racking? Trapdoor? What do you think this lady would come up against as the #2 most powerful political figure in America? It's not going to be a cake walk - what's your favorite color? Summer-time traditions? Favorite type of music?
What bigger thug and killer than Oleg Deripaska? The guy has a monopoly over the AL industry of Montenegreo, which achieved independence through his lobbying(&Putin's) by favors from Davis behind the scene, and the support of McCain on the floor. McCain, Sununu, & Chambliss sold face time to Deripaska, a 40 yr old billionaire w/ blood of more ppl on his hand than Ayers, in Davos. Deripaska is not allowed to enter the States for his criminal past, unlike Ayers.
The Sad thing is that Tina Fey didn't need to write any of her impersonation, she just took her act line by line from her Quotes. That's the scary part. Trapdoor questions?!?! Bitch please. She's running for Vice President of the United States, not quality control at Wendys. "Hey, this double double needs one more patty, can't you teenagers count?"
I am for certain that when the media headed up the AK to do their own 'vet' of Sarah, they discovered a lot about how 'isolated' and out of touch AK is from the rest of the U.S. Sarah has been hidden for a reason. McCain is not coherent, he couldn't have vetted this woman or he it is clear his judgement is off.
Palin has nothing but T-ball interviews. Palin is not ready for National Politics. Her prep is all about changing the wording of her beliefs so they seem more rational. Should abortion be allowed if mother will die? Should a non-viable fetus be given "life" over the mother? Viability (22 weeks gestation) was also established in Roe vs Wade. She is not being asked tough questions, by anyone. The hope is that the election is over before we know Sarah Pailn.
no baduril, actually this woman is damned, damned good!
how else to explain her complete optimism by throwing the blame of palin's utter failure on the press, all the while knowing most of the country doesn't buy it.
if you ask me bin ladin should hire her. she's make him look like ronald reagan!
Congress pushed to expand subprime lending to those with having lower credit ratings and no down payment.
Now those loans are trouble.
Gov wants you to pay for their error via your 401K $ or holdings passing losses directly along to you, connecting you to the bailout.
They use "scare tactics" and attempt hurry their legislation to transfer responsibility before you have a chance to understand what is being "dumped" upon you.
When I took the SAT´s there were lots of questions I got wrong. Now I know it was just the testmakers using ¨Gotcha questions¨ on me. Damn, I knew all along it wasn´t my lack of knowledge, it was their darn ¨gotcha questions!¨
The only thing "tough" Katie did was not to let Palin's lies and know-nothing answers stand. She demanded real-world evidence and specific support to back Palin's LaLaLand claims. But such things cannot be retained insuch a little mind.
every thing just wide open clear to the public how far this two Sarah and McCain lie and dumb and stupid but no matter what she is doing you hear that McCain say..... she is doing just fine !!??? she is doing just fine ?!! is like grand father defense his Little stupid grand daughter this guys voters are F... sick
Yea just like the popularity of the war in Iraq after 9/11 attacks and a short stint in Afghanistan. Whoops Obama was against that from the beginning wasnt he? One of the few I believe.
jonmcd123 that comment was as stupid as the candidates your supporting! Shouldnt a presidential office candidate be able to handle a reporter? but yet you want this idot to it down with world leaders?
"The word "trapdoor" or simply "trappies" can be used as an expression of dismay or defeat, in an acknowledgment that something has not gone to plan, or that someone has committed a schoolboy error of some kind."
Sounds like the McCain campaign has admitted defeat here.
Apologist propaganda. If ANYONE from any other party answered as poorly as Palin did, the GOP would have had a field day. I would actually respect McCain if he said "you know what? We made a huge mistake here"...That said, Fox news is nothing but a 24/7 movement for the right wing. The media is seriously broken.For them to try to spin this off as trapdoor questioning is absolute crap and they know it.
nerve wrecking to honestly answer what newspapers or magazines you read?? if you want to say you're a pitbull.....act like one.....palin's acting more like a poodle.
You're telling me a candidate to the second most powerful position in the world can't handle difficult and potentially tricky questions? Come on, give me a break
Well, if you can't see Russia from your house, then you obviously have no foreign policy experience.
You may know what the Bush doctrine is by now, but do you know what the Bush recipie for Texas-hold'em-chili is?
I would also like to know if you are currently involved in any witch hunting practices, because I simply cannot vote for anyone who has not banished at least three witches.
I also think you should change your name to Flack Gobbler Palin before I even consider you to be like me.
She's just trying to cover for Palins unacceptable lack of knowledge. There was nothing trap door about them as they were not that hard to answer. I can understand maybe not knowing everything, but Palin strung random phrases together to make it sound like it made sense. So she's either deceptive or stupid, or both. Nothing can save her from the fact that she appeared in multiple interviews making multple, horrible mistakes that NO VP of the United States should ever make!
She even went on to suggest she had forien policy experience because Alaska was kind of near the other countries of interest. That's similar to saying that because I live near a hospital, I can be a surgeon. I can feel sorry for one or two mistakes, but not endless run on sentences and complete ignorance. She's a bad choice for VP period.
what happened to his lady's face?? katie is the most respectful interviewer ever, palin would never last with anyone else... they would eat her alive!
Katie Couric asked her basic questions anyone would ask someone running for VICE PRESIDENT.WTF is a trap door question? Politicians are creating a new vocabulary of BS.
This is an OUTRAGE, the spin these assholes are putting forth. Anyone who believes Catie's questions were "unfair", "gotcha", or "trapdoor" is ignorant beyond belief.
Repubs love to counter by pointing out the gaffes by Biden. Theres a huge difference between the two. You cant say Biden doesn't have the knowledge to be president. If Palin does, she hasnt proven it yet
As a Latino male I was curious to know why so many White people are afraid to call out Obama and question his involvement with that church he attended for 20 yrs. The rev Wright made many anti White & anti American sermons over the yrs. Obama has even called Wright is mentor. My friends say many Whites are afraid to say anything for fear that they don't want to be viewed as racist themselves for questioning Barack or because SOME white people go out of there way not to offend blacks. Is this tru
um where were you doing the Rev. Wright backlash that Obama received once sermons of Rev. Wright were posted on youtube. There was so much attention around this that Obama had to give a major speech about race in America.
That's the most hilarious thing I have ever seen, or would be if the ramifications were no so serious. They are essentially saying "Sarah Palin wasn't the idiot she appeared to be. Couric tricked her." But, of course, if Katie Couric can "trick" you into looking like an idiot, you obviously a pretty blunt crayon in the first place, regardless of how colorful you might be.
Trapdoor questions! Hahaha! Name one newspaper that you have read. That's a "trapdoor?" Sorry, that's a softball question. The McCain campaign is whining that Couric is too tough, but they think she's ready for the international stage?
Couric is the nicest interviewer around, and her Palin interview was no exception. All it demonstrated was that Palin is woefully inept, and possibly stupid.
"By accepting the position on the GOP ticket despite her astonishing lack of qualifications, Palin signaled that she was prepared to be used - on the basis of her sex alone - in exchange for the promise of status and power." Cynthia Boaz
come on, the questions are pretty fair. anyone reading the newspaper can do better than that. these are questions about current events. it's not like she's being asked law school exam questions.
It took Sarah Palin 6 years and 6 different colleges to obtain her bachelors degree. Did you see her pathetic interviews with Charles Gibson and Kate Couric? She isn't capable of answering even simple questions about the economy or international issues. She has no business being on the ticket of a 72 year old man whose had 4 bouts with melanoma. What a disgrace. John McCain should be ashamed of himself and his disastrous choice of a VP.
If McCain wins there's a 1 in 5 chance due to his age that we'll end up with Sara Palin. Sara Palin, the one Politician that could quite possibly be Dumber then George Bush Jr. as our President. Only in America.
Look, I want a Vice President who can handle being interviewed by Katie Couric without self-destructing and turning into a complete buffoon on national television.
Trap door questions? Explain how being close to Russia is foreign relations experience? Give one example of McCain pushing for regulation? These are not trap door questions, there basic im running for office questions. Curic did not ask whats the square root of 467 or explain gravity. The wording in the questions did not even justify being called trap door questions.
Trap door question..Please ..How sad seeing the great party crumble before your eyes..NOT I love finally maybe thos that were asleep and zombied out during the last election have awakened. Put country 1st before God this time..
You have to remember that GOD is republican, and he supports John McCain because Obama is the antichrist. Atleast this is the bullcrap the right wing wants you to believe.
I just love how they keep blaming the media and don't pay any attention to Palin's apparent lack of competence.
Even if you dismiss it as nerves of the interviewer asking "trap door" questions - whatever that's supposed to mean, it still comes down to one simple fact. The woman who wants to be Vice President of the United States was not able to provide a competent and articulate response. Is that the type of person you want answering the White House phone at 3:00am.
Have you been paying attention to Obama or Biden? No Clean Coal. Iran is a tiny country that poses no threat. The media is OMGing over this stuff about Palin. Why arn't they concerned with Obama and Biden's fumbles? Hre's a hint you already know: They're trying to elect Obama. The media has no cred.
Obama has clarified his position on Iran. Sarah Palin doesn't know of any supreme court case besided Roe v. Wade. She gave an answer about the bailout and talked about health care reform. She contradicted McCain's stance on Pakistan. She has a bachelor's degree in journalism. So that's what you want for the VP
"Obama has clarified his position on Iran". You're a koolaid drinker making excuses for gaffs but lighting the torches for the others. Get real. Biden has contradicted Obama several times. She has executive experience, obama has never made decisions like sarah Palin has. NEVER. You want an empty suit to ride in on a magical unicorn as president. Neither Obama or Palin has enough experience for me. I would of voted for Hillary but Obama, he's not ready to lead. McCain is.
Swtjonesy, All the canadates have said stupid things because of campaighn fatigue including McCain. This is not about saying something stupid this is about saying everything stupid. On paper fine argue shes got more or like experience to Obama, after that all you have to do is actually talk to each of them to see the vast experience Obama has over her. The only possible way anyone could possibly look at the facts and vote for McCain over Obama as a previous Clinton supporter is because hes black
So I'm a koolaid drinker, I guess that means I'm black. Wow, you have class alright. McCain didn't even realize that shiites in Iran don't work with sunnis. That's the experience that you want? Hey, it's a free country.
They are not going nuts over Obama and Biden because Obama has been in the media since 2004 and been in the media nonstop since the run for president has begun. Biden has been around for 36 years. Palin has been around for 3 weeks, is the governer of the 47th smallest state, there are 16 US cites with a larger population then the state of Alaska. The media wants to know who she is that got the VP spot, they are trying to look deeper then her just being a woman. Guess what? Theres no other reason
Most of Obama, Biden, AND McCain's "fumbles" have been just that. They are fumbles or things taken out of context. Palin has demonstrated a lack of knowledge about the relevant issues. Her answer on the bail out was incomprehensible. And validating her foriegn policy experience based on Alaska's proximity to Russia - let alone Putin flying over Alaska is nothing short of laughable.
At least when Biden said Roosevelt went on TV to talk to the people, the point was Roosevelt showed leadership.
swtjonesy.... Biden clearly said "no KING Coal", not "no Clean Coal". Talk about Gotcha journalism. You republicans set em up and spin them shamelessly.
Go Sarah! She has more experience and accomplishments than the Democratic PRESIDENTIAL candidate.
OBama's main hope is a biased media. He has no experience, comes from dirty Chicago politics, his friends & wife are America haters, and he has done NOTHING except vote the farthest left of all 100 Senators and speak ear candy to make the gullible think that he isn't what he is. He needs the biased media to continue to hide all that for another 5 weeks.
LMAO, didn't palin call herself a barracuda? and she falls apart in front of KATIE COURIC???? What happens if she talks to Putin, who has killed people, is ex-KGB counter intelligence, and overall tyrant? People, wake up, I mean really c'mon.
Katie Couric tough reporter? For whom? Under what perspective? Tough reporters in the US? Those reporters/journalists get fired here. Ask Phil Donahue!
So let me get this straight, FOX news is trying to promote the notion that Palin did a good job on those interviews. FOX news is a distorter of facts. Always believe the OPPOSITE of what they say.
This skank's husband, Kurt Pfotenhauer, worked as a MORTGAGE INDUSTRY LOBBYIST with the Bush administration to engineer the Economic MEss that the USA is now in. SHE's a SKANK AND HAS RUINED AMERICA.
The media attackers are once again blowing it bigtime. WE ALL SEE IT LIBS, and what we see isn't pretty and we won't vote for you disgusting haters.
So keep on hatein' Palin, then when you wake-up after the election, you'll wonder what could've gone wrong. Obviously libs haven't learned one damn thing since 2000. What will it be this time libs, more chads, paper ballots, computer problems, cops busting people on the way to vote? What liars you all are!
I don't "hate" Palin. I just think she is stupid. She doesn't have any in-depth knowledge about anything except how to bullshit and bully her way thru life. She might be a nice person, a great Mom, and a great basketball player, but she shouldn't be in a position to be running the free world. She's not smart enough.
Can't wait to hear Gaffe 'O Minute Biden in the debate Friday. Should make for some good vids. Of course you'll only see them on YT, as the lib media will insist Biden crushed Palin no matter what, even if he does't show up. They spend more time covering and twisting his speeches than he takes giving them.
John McCain has a comprehensive economic plan that will create millions of good American jobs, ensure our nation's energy security,lower gas prices get the government's budget and spending practices in order, and bring relief to American consumers. Go to John McCain's website to learn how the McCain Economic Plan will help bring reform, prosperity and peace to America
Vote John McCain and Sarah Palin for President and Vice President of the United States in 2008

TRAPDOOR: definition from Wiki
"The word "trapdoor" or simply "trappies" can be used as an expression of dismay or defeat, in an acknowledgment that something has not gone to plan, or that someone has committed a schoolboy error of some kind."
Sounds like the McCain campaign has admitted defeat here.

The american people are a good people, as a canadian i do see a bitterness in our country due to the war and george bush

Apologist propaganda. If ANYONE from any other party answered as poorly as Palin did, the GOP would have had a field day. I would actually respect McCain if he said "you know what? We made a huge mistake here"...That said, Fox news is nothing but a 24/7 movement for the right wing. The media is seriously broken.For them to try to spin this off as trapdoor questioning is absolute crap and they know it.

She's just trying to cover for Palins unacceptable lack of knowledge. There was nothing trap door about them as they were not that hard to answer. I can understand maybe not knowing everything, but Palin strung random phrases together to make it sound like it made sense. So she's either deceptive or stupid, or both. Nothing can save her from the fact that she appeared in multiple interviews making multple, horrible mistakes that NO VP of the United States should ever make!

She even went on to suggest she had forien policy experience because Alaska was kind of near the other countries of interest. That's similar to saying that because I live near a hospital, I can be a surgeon. I can feel sorry for one or two mistakes, but not endless run on sentences and complete ignorance. She's a bad choice for VP period.

As a Latino male I was curious to know why so many White people are afraid to call out Obama and question his involvement with that church he attended for 20 yrs. The rev Wright made many anti White & anti American sermons over the yrs. Obama has even called Wright is mentor. My friends say many Whites are afraid to say anything for fear that they don't want to be viewed as racist themselves for questioning Barack or because SOME white people go out of there way not to offend blacks. Is this tru

That's the most hilarious thing I have ever seen, or would be if the ramifications were no so serious. They are essentially saying "Sarah Palin wasn't the idiot she appeared to be. Couric tricked her." But, of course, if Katie Couric can "trick" you into looking like an idiot, you obviously a pretty blunt crayon in the first place, regardless of how colorful you might be.

It took Sarah Palin 6 years and 6 different colleges to obtain her bachelors degree. Did you see her pathetic interviews with Charles Gibson and Kate Couric? She isn't capable of answering even simple questions about the economy or international issues. She has no business being on the ticket of a 72 year old man whose had 4 bouts with melanoma. What a disgrace. John McCain should be ashamed of himself and his disastrous choice of a VP.

These are not trap door questions, there basic im running for office questions. Curic did not ask whats the square root of 467 or explain gravity. The wording in the questions did not even justify being called trap door questions.

Even if you dismiss it as nerves of the interviewer asking "trap door" questions - whatever that's supposed to mean, it still comes down to one simple fact. The woman who wants to be Vice President of the United States was not able to provide a competent and articulate response. Is that the type of person you want answering the White House phone at 3:00am.

Have you been paying attention to Obama or Biden? No Clean Coal. Iran is a tiny country that poses no threat. The media is OMGing over this stuff about Palin. Why arn't they concerned with Obama and Biden's fumbles? Hre's a hint you already know: They're trying to elect Obama. The media has no cred.
swtjonesy 3 years ago
Obama has clarified his position on Iran. Sarah Palin doesn't know of any supreme court case besided Roe v. Wade. She gave an answer about the bailout and talked about health care reform. She contradicted McCain's stance on Pakistan. She has a bachelor's degree in journalism. So that's what you want for the VP
sgtarmas 3 years ago
"Obama has clarified his position on Iran". You're a koolaid drinker making excuses for gaffs but lighting the torches for the others. Get real. Biden has contradicted Obama several times. She has executive experience, obama has never made decisions like sarah Palin has. NEVER. You want an empty suit to ride in on a magical unicorn as president. Neither Obama or Palin has enough experience for me. I would of voted for Hillary but Obama, he's not ready to lead. McCain is.

Swtjonesy, All the canadates have said stupid things because of campaighn fatigue including McCain. This is not about saying something stupid this is about saying everything stupid.

The only possible way anyone could possibly look at the facts and vote for McCain over Obama as a previous Clinton supporter is because hes black

sgtarmas 3 years ago
They are not going nuts over Obama and Biden because Obama has been in the media since 2004 and been in the media nonstop since the run for president has begun. Biden has been around for 36 years. Palin has been around for 3 weeks, is the governer of the 47th smallest state, there are 16 US cites with a larger population then the state of Alaska. The media wants to know who she is that got the VP spot, they are trying to look deeper then her just being a woman. Guess what? Theres no other reason
grudgekeeper 3 years ago
Most of Obama, Biden, AND McCain's "fumbles" have been just that. They are fumbles or things taken out of context. Palin has demonstrated a lack of knowledge about the relevant issues. Her answer on the bail out was incomprehensible. And validating her foriegn policy experience based on Alaska's proximity to Russia - let alone Putin flying over Alaska is nothing short of laughable.
At least when Biden said Roosevelt went on TV to talk to the people, the point was Roosevelt showed leadership.
