Palin answered some questions from the traveling press corps, her first time doing so.
NEW YORK (CNN) — Sarah Palin took questions from her traveling press corps Thursday for the first time since being tapped as John McCain's running mate.

Speaking to a small pool of reporters following a visit to Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, Palin made a statement and then answered four questions, addressing the war on terror, the re-election bids of Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young, and the bailout legislation currently in front of Congress.

POLITICO: Do you think our presence in Iraq and afghan and our continued presence there is inflaming islamic extremists?

A: I think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will lead to further security of our nation, again, because the mission is to take the fight over there. do not let them come over here and attempt again what they accomplished here, and that was some destruction. terrible destruction on that day. but since September 11, Americans uniting and rebuilding and committing to never letting that happen again.

POLITICO: Do you support the reelection bids of embattled Alaska Republicans, Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens?

A: Ted Stevens trial started a couple days ago. We’ll see where that goes.

POLITICO: Are you gong to vote for them?



JERSEY JOURNAL: What do you think of bailout package before congress?

A: I don't support that until the provisions that Sen. McCain has offered are implemented in Paulson's proposals.

here's my Cliff's Notes version:

Oh Yah, 9/11!

I don't belive media want, or dear to ask her about the witch hunter.. Specially not at an aircraft.. If they do, they would be trown out of the nearest airlock, or in this case the first open door... The media in the US have shown their true cullour now for more than 7 year.. If they want to be near the site of power, they would go backwards in the needs to get an "exclosuive" even if it means that the truth would be passed away... Even if the truth is to big to be ignored...

2. Palin: "...and that was some destruction..."

She's a brilliant speaker, isn't she? Reminds me of Chimpy. :(

3. " provisions that Sen. McCain has offered "

Did I miss something.

What were those provisions?

BTW, IMHO she dodged answering those questions. Notice no direct answer to any of the questions.

4. Is she channeling? Psychic Sarah

OMG - I finally figured out what she reminds me of - someone telling fortunes, someone at a seance or a psychic.

They use the exact same broken sentences, and interjecting words to intentionally keep the meanings vague! Wow.

Sarah the psychic.

8. I think you misspelled it...

It's spelled psychOTic. :rofl:

[PermanentRevolution]

5. I don't think the Iraq/Afghanistan response counts as an answer...

There's nothing in there that answers the question she was asked

[Raschel]

6. You forgot the other talking point

Again, my understanding is...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. Palin, Palin, Palin

Keep Palin Palin Palin
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep that Palin movin', Palin!
Don't try to understand her
Just a teleprompter hand her
Rush will be livin' high and wide.
John's heart's calculatin'
The White House will be waitin'
Waitin' at the end of his bus ride.

Move her up, head her up,
Head her up, move her out,
Move her up, head her out, Palin!
Set her out, hide her out,
Hide her out, let her out,
Cut her out, hide her out,
let her out, Palin.

9. Sarah in a bottle

How about:

From the McCain campaign:

If I could put Sarah in a bottle,
the first thing that I'd like to do,
is to find a big cork.........

[Muttocracy]

11. I cannot believe her sentence structure...

"Every American student needs to come through this area so that, especially this younger generation of Americans is, to be in a position of never forgetting what happened here and never repeating, never allowing a repeat of what happened here."
