F**K YOU DREW GREFFIN! That was a Palin INFOMERCIAL, not an INTERVIEW
Well.. i stupidly took Blitzers pathetic 3 hour bait-fest.. and waited and watched the small tid-bits of what some may call an "interview" on CNN this afternoon.

After finally getting to see it, I think CNN should be fined for False Advertising.

That wasn't even CLOSE to an Interview.. that was a 20 minute Infomercial for Palin.

1. She didn't answer the questions asked of her (no surprise)
2. Drew Griffen never once tried a follow up question.. he stared at her like a puppy dog as she wagged her little finger, smacked her lips and said whatever she wanted to say
3. She used her non-answers as opportunities to attack the Obama/McCain campaign - and again, was never ONCE redirected: "So, are you considering a run in 2012 if you don't win this year?" Answer: "I'm just focusing on the next 2 weeks, but let's talk about Joe Biden's huge gaffe where he said that Obama will be tested within 6 months of being in office so also, we shouldn't elect him, also".

DREW - Here are a couple of LEGIT questions:

1. Gov. Palin, why don't you release your medical records like all of the other candidates have done?
2. Why do you not ask your rabid supporters to stop making death threats against Obama at your campaigns, do you condone this?
3. You say that Obama's inexperience causes him to not be ready if we're attacked and he's president. Explain to me how you are better prepared if something should happen to John McCain and you are sworn in as president. What experience do you have that makes you better qualified to deal with a national crisis over Sen. Obama?

I could go on.. vent below.. and, if you haven't seen the CNN Infomercial.. don't waste your time. You've already seen everything she's said in any of her pathetic stump speeches.

1. they must have gotten her to agree with the interview by naming this nincompoop
god he was terrible -- at one point in response to her comments on Biden he blurted out "yes you are correct" lol.


Not ready for prime time 'whats your name'.

2. Yup..
She said basically: "If I had made the gaffe that Joe Biden had made, you'd be all over it".. and he agreed.

What he SHOULD have said is... "Ummm.. it's pretty much been our top story all day... we talk about all of the issues".

God, I never thought i'd say this - but Katie Couric deserves an award... she's the only one to have the balls to ask this lady tough questions.

And, mark-my-words.. you will NOT see Palin do another interview with a female between now & 11/04

5. Sounds like AIP, Troopergate, Muthee and the Road to Nowhere were off the table.
Gutless sucktards.

7. It doesn't surprise me after the lame Troopergate investigation he did
CNN had no business assigning this guy to this interview.
I'd like to know his background. We'll probably find out he used to be a PR hack for the Alaskan Republican Party.
When he interviewed her ex brother in law, it was more like an interrogation.....lame.

10. I'd love to see her answer your questions, especially number 3.
Your questions are so much better than what the CNN reporter asked her. The only person so far who did a decent interview of Palin was Katie Couric - who would have ever thought Katie Couric would be the toughest interviewer out there? She was the only one who pressed Palin with follow-ups and she did a good job of trying to get Palin to answer the questions.

When will they give Joe Biden 20 minutes of free airtime like this?

12. Here would be her answer:
Well Drew, that's a great question, and my answer would be that I have been in charge of the largest state in the United States up there in Alaska, also I am in charge of the Alaskan National Guard and do you know that they are currently deployed in Iraq and that while they are out protecting all of the wonderfully patriotic citizens of Alaska, they are also helping to fight terror and the extremists that wish to do serious harm to our country, to our American Citizens and also, they want to see us wiped off of the map. (yes - that was one sentence).

Senator Obama has never had any executive experience like I have, I mean when he was a community organizer what did he do to prevent terrorism, to stop bombings or to ensure that the citizens of Chicago were any safer? He has done nothing to protect those people, also he has spent his time hanging around with terrorists like Bill Ayers, so what I'm saying is that I have experience in protecting us from terrorists and Senator Obama only has experience partying with them.

Then she would wink, smack her lips and smile at Drewie.. and he would say

"You're right - you're definitely the most qualified". :puke: :puke: :puke:
