I Don’t Even Know What to Say Here


Watch CBS Videos Online

Actually, what I would say is this.

In all her interviews thus far, Sarah Palin reminds me an unprepared High School student taking an essay exam, trying to fill a blank page with B.S. in the hope that will fly.

The contrast between the two V.P. candidates is striking.

Also, as I’m sure most of the Internet has pointed out already, she essentially reverses herself on Roe v. Wade by stating that she believes there is an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution. (There’s not.) (The privacy issue is the central tenet of Roe as I understand it. (I’m only married to a lawyer)).

That sound you just heard was Antonin Scalia falling over with a thud.

Yes, I will be watching the debate tonight. Though I’ll be cringing the whole time.

  1. That video caused me physical pain when I saw it yesterday.  I doubt I’ll be watching the debate, I don’t think I could handle it and my health insurance only covers 12 visits to a therapist a year.

  2. Hopefully, *lots* of people watch the debate tonight as they need to know the truth.  Unfortunately, the fact that she is even in this position says volumes about where our country has gone…

  5. All I can say is thank the good Lord for Tina Fey.

  6. The thought of her holding any sort of real power frightens me a little bit.

    And I’m Canadian even.

  7. I agree with the other Canadian comment - she (S. Palin) even scares us all the way up here!

  8. I’m on my way to the post office to get my vote for Obama in the mail.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
