On MSNBC One of the Tuckers just insulted all Americans "Palin talks like an average person"

[AlCzervik]

and then for the bonus referenced a Governor from the west that was also plain speaking----Raygun!

[GrizzlyMan]

1. Was that before or after he called her the "new" Reagan?

NT

[AlCzervik]

3. before which lead to St. Ronnie of course. All roads lead to Reagan.

[Renew Deal]

2. I know average people.

She is no average person.

[AlCzervik]

7. yes average people are generally intelligible.

[Curtland1015]

4. Haw! Okay, I am NO Reagan fan. Not by any stretch...

But Palin is no where NEAR Reagan's league!

What a joke!

[sandnsea]

15. Nooo, they're making us defend Reagan, lol

I agree. I remember Ronald Reagan, I hated Ronald Reagan, and still, Sarah Palin, you are NO Ronald Reagan. lol.

[Hutzpa]

5. I've been saying it all along....

that the McCain camp DO BELIEVE that the American public are STUPID,
and Tucker just confirms it.

[Eric J in MN]

6. Was it the Tucker (Carlson) who used to wear a bowtie on his MSNBC show,

...or Tucker Bounds?

[AlCzervik]

10. not Carlson, one of the other ones who works for McCain or the RNC, there's a

Tucker replicating machine i swear, there's like 3 of them.

[Hutzpa]

12. Tucker Eskew

but... but.. they all seem related to me, well...when they open their
mouth that is.....:shrug:

[Eric J in MN]

18. Thanks. NT

8. I don't want 'average'

Been there, done that. It sucked.

[GAtomboy]

9. She's supposed to be intelligent

I heard that and had to refrain from screaming at the TV since I'm at work. Don't insult me, I don't babble on endlessly about nothing.

If I wanted someone that was "average" to be in the WhiteHouse ....oh wait.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. That should not be considered a recommendation.

I do not want an average person to be the Vice President. I want a very, very smart person. I don't understand why being a "regular person" is considered a positive criterion for being elected to high office. Is it some kind of weird narcissism that makes people want to elect some ordinary schmuck like themselves?

[flakey_foont]

13. if the average person is

Larry the Cable Guy

[Ganja Ninja]

14. Then she should have an average job not one that puts her a

72 year old man's heart beat away from the presidency.

[Ashy Larry]

16. She talks like an inexperienced politician in over her head.

Reagan said lots of dumb stuff but at least he said it well. Palin is seriously one of the dumbest politicians I have ever seen.

[tridim]

17. I'm insulted, just like I was insulted when Linda Tripp said the same thing.

No, I'm not a RW idiot "just like you".

[spanone]

19. i don't want an 'average person' a heartbeat away. i want an extraordinary person

[Warren Stupidity]

20. Reagan was actually famously articulate.

But I digress, why on earth do we want an average person in charge of the country?

[LiberadorHugo]

21. The average person could not have led the Reds to victory in the Russian Revolution.

It took Trotsky (who along with Einstein and Chomsky shares the honour of being the most intelligent public figure of modernity) to lead the Red Army from the brink of the abyss to victory over the 21 nation army and the Tsarists that the revolutionaries had been fighting against. Some tasks are above the reach of the average, and leading the world's most powerful nation is certainly among them.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Like "average Joe" in Idiocracy?

Or like the idiots in Idiocracy?

The feedback about her must be bad if they had to mention something like this.
