I generally do not like slam on Palin because I think she was nothing more than a distraction. But damn, how does a serious adult running for a serious position get crank called at this stage of the game. How fucking stupid is she? WTF was McCain thinking?

I thought the Couric interviews were the more pathetic thing Ive ever see from a political. But this is just as bad.

1. I wonder how many people got fired for that
It's amazing she stayed on the line as long as she did.

2. It was her staff and they were working with Masked Avengers on the call some weeks before
they actually did it.

The thing about SP is that there were at least 3 opportunities during the call in which she CLEARLY should have asked whom she was speaking to and she didn't.

5. Apparently they thought it was real. That's what you get when you hire your buddies instead
of hiring for talent and merit.

7. I listened to an interview on Radio-Canada in French this morning
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 12:09 AM by Amonester
an interview with one of the two Justiciers Masques himself and the guy clearly said they were working on the call only four days before they actually did it, and I don't think he was lying.

She is such an idiot. She is an abject embarrassment for the actual education system in the United States... She clearly knows NOTHING about the world!!

6. The "accents" made Pepe LePew sound authentic!!
The "Nailin' Palin" line went completely over her head as well...that was the icing on the cake as far as her utter ignorance.

10. Suckered in by her own ambition and vanity.
When you've got a tremendous ego and someone tells you that Nicholas Sarkozy wants to talk to you, your first thought is, "Well, of course he does! "
