Chris Matthews re: Palin's grasp of foreign policy: "she's off the reservation!"

[bushisanidiot]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[justiceischeap]

1. You beat me to it. n/t

[Nia Zuri]

2. Is that good or bad? Never heard that expression.

[justiceischeap]

3. It means she's off message

Her response contradicts Shrubs and McShame's policies

[central scrutinizer]

14. more proof that she is a maverick

failure = success
ignorance = caution
stupidity = thoughtfulness

[maseman]

22. Off the reservation is even stronger meaning

she's REALLY off the message...not even in the same city as the message.

[mcg]

24. Sounds like she agrees with Obama on Pakistan, and she talked

about responding to imminent threats (preemption), not preventive war (which is part of the Bush Doctrine). That's not to say she disagrees with preventive war, just that she didn't talk about it.

[Sanity Claws]

4. Bad for them

She's a loose cannon. She's not following the script.

[smb]

15. Here's What It Means

"Never heard that expression."

If you don't know what it means, it must be some code-language sexist slur against Sarah. :rofl:

[leeroysphitz]

18. No it's an ethnic slur pointed toward her husbands aboriginal heritage.

Wait for it... Wait for it...

[Union Thug]

5. Does this mean the media's love affair with Lippy the Pitbull is over?

[PA Democrat]

6. What was fascinating was that Pat Buchanan was really tough

in his criticism of Palin. Said it was obvious that she was being schooled by the neocons.

[bushisanidiot]

9. Pat is a sexist pig. His head is going to explode if he doesn't start calling her out on her

complete lack of experience. I'm sure he's having a hard time sticking to his talking points cuz he really thinks she should be at home with the kids and Todd Palin should be the one bringing home the bacon.

[chill_wind]

17. His problem is that he's also a blatant bigot.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. Pat hates the neo-cons. He's an isolationist.

[John Q. Citizen]

16. Yep. and more than a tad zenophobic

[dansolo]

21. He's also an isolationist

I don't think he is too fond of her starting a war with Russia.

[Dr Fate]

He wont go near statements like that come October though.

Not in the script.

September is a good month to establish that you are "objective"- while October is a great month to accomplish objectives. GOP objectives.

I'll take help wherever I can get it, I just hope DEMS are not going to rely on the media to get the tough talking points out there to swing-voter land come October...

[SDJay]

7. I had no intent on watching this

but when I heard it was a fiasco, I tore into it like a kid at Christmas. I now understand why these nincompoops on the McCain staff wanted her to have nothing to do with live cameras. What a freakin' uneducated, uninformed moron. I think we were wrong in saying this would be four more years of Bush. She makes Dubya look like Isaac Fucking Newton. :eyes:

She's done, and her 'star' will burn out soon. I don't even think the most unhinged neo-con nut can state that she did well without getting completely blasted for even trying to sell that line.

[Cha]

8. Good to know!

Isaac Fucking Newton!

[NotThisTime]

10. She makes Bush look like a freaking Genius - that is terrifying

[JSK]

13. She also makes McCain look good to us

Holy crap. The out-of-touch, hot-headed, war-mongering lunatic looks good. Now that's scary.

[dchill]

20. "...a freakin' uneducated, uninformed moron."

AKA - One of the masses.

[Dr Fate]

12. I hope he sees it fit to repeat lines like that in October too.

By October she will be "a fast learner who really thinks on her feet..." according to media wisdom...Mark my words.

[Monk06]

19. Palin's foreign policy in a nutshell.

[OneGrassRoot]

23. Reviews from other "news" shows, TV/online/radio, after the interview?

Are they seeing what we saw?
