Persily on Palin: MSNBC 10/10/08

Chris Matthews, Larry Persily and James Grimaldi on Sarah Palin
"Hardball" 5:12pm
Panel

TRANSCRIPTION
LARRY PERSILY: No, I don't think she should be vice president. She's not qualified. She doesn't know what she thinks she knows. She's too immature politically and just doesn't bring anything to the ticket other than this cheerleader we're seeing.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, how'd she get elected governor of your state?

PERSILY: Because the governor we had before her was so incredibly unpopular she came in and said, 'I'm not Frank Murkowski [...].' I don't think she brings enough to the job, in terms of intellect or experience [...]. [She is] not intellectually curious, but also the governor of Alaska, of any supreme court [case], should know the Exxon-Valdez case where the Supreme Court came down and said, 'Exxon you have only got to pay 20% [...] of what the lower courts said.' [...] The Governor of Alaska should have remembered the Exxon case.

MATTHEWS: More fundamental, she wouldn't say what she reads on a daily basis. Does she read the papers up there?

PERSILY: I don't know.

MATTHEWS: Why wouldn't she say she reads the papers? It's just stupid.

PERSILY: She's big on talk radio. She really listens to it, but the question is, even if you don't read the newspapers, remember the names of a couple and just say so so you don't sit there looking like you don't read.

MATTHEWS: You say she's unqualified.

PESILY: Oh yeah. No question about it.

[...]

MATTHEWS: [J]ohn McCain said [Palin is] one of the great experts [...]. Is that accurate? Does Governor Palin know energy?

PERSILY: No [...]. She's no expert on it. When she ran for governor in 2006 she was off quite a bit when she was asked, 'What's the price of oil?' that day. [...] She talked [...] about Alaska supplying 20% of the nation's oil [...]. Alaska's about 12%--not 20%. She just yesterday at a town hall meeting in Wisconsin, she got it all wrong about federal bans on the export of oil and gas. She's not an expert on it. She just happens to be governor of Alaska who has an interest in it.

Stupid, blind hatred is worse than a small degree of misinformation that was basically immediately corrected. People like you do a disservice to those who are legitimately concerned about the truth. Don't call out someone for saying inaccurate things and then lie about that person in the same breath if you expect anyone to take you seriously, which, obviously you don't.

Thanks for contributing even more garbage to the vast wasteland that is YouTube comments.

Chris is a hard working Political Historian. Lets compare him with McCain/Palin. Graduate bottom of the class? 6 transfers to graduate from college? Says he knows nothing about the

economy then depends on experts? Abuses power as Gov. and hires DUNCE HS friends to work for the state. An old man ranting with irrationality. Why does McCain seem like a RINGMASTER and Palin the main attraction.

McCain/Palin=CIRCUS

"Hardball"??? More like Softball. You get a bunch of liberals talking on the show, bashing any conservative, and pushing their agenda. Yeah, now that's really "hardball". Let's get a bunch of grown men and talk only to people who agree with you and want to push your opinion.
