Sweet Jeebus in a moose costume:
COURIC: You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land– boundary that we have with– Canada. It– it’s funny that a comment like that was– kind of made to– cari– I don’t know, you know? Reporters–
COURIC: Mock?
PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yeah.
COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.
PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our– our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They’re in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia–
COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.
Per JuCo Toynbee:
Palin’s performance was in keeping with her style: A down-home straight-talker who doesn’t dodge a bullet.
I think Sarah Plain would find it infinitely easier to dodge a bullet than it would be for her to arrange a single thought and then magically transform it into a complete sentence that would allow her to slide through English 101 at North Idaho College.
And it gets worse:
POLITICO: Do you think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan 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.
It’s quite possible that we have our first national candidate who speaks Nellish.
Watch and either weep or gape in horror.

That’s completely unfair.
Nell, at least, understood what she was saying, even if no on else did.
Aw, quit fucking around. Goddam fucking woman’s a retard, sure as Jodie Foster is a lesbian. The war in Iraq sucks and so on.
Tbogg, please stop. This is scaring the hell out of me. She’s like K-Lo, Brittany Spears, and Anita Bryant rolled into one.
Someone needs to explain to Caribou Barbie that being mocked is something she can expect when she emits mind-bogglingly stupid pronouncements like
in response to questions regarding foreign policy experience. No doubt she is a qualified geologist, because her feet touch the ground.
In the first answer, she was trying to say “caricatured”. She couldn’t get it out and just froze. I swear, if Couric hadn’t stepped in and said “mocked”, they’d still be sitting there staring at each other.
Sweet jeebus….she probably doesn’t know what caricatured means.
My head hurts.
This is freakin hilarious. Katie Couric, Grand Inquisitor. Who’s next? How low can the bar get?
Too bad Mr. Rogers is gone. Now there’s someone she could work with. “Can you say c-a-r-i-c-a-t-u-re? I thought you could….”
I’m going with the gaping option. Palin is Putin it to us.
Palin: “Aw gee, I picked up the wrong phone. Who’d we get?”
Aide: “Uh, Madame President, we just launched a nuclear strike on the home of Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten.”
Palin: “Oh. I thought I’d done something bad.”
Good poker face Katie. She is calm on the surface, but inside she’s screaming this is huge! Scoop! She’s stoopider than anyone thought!
…as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska.
That part right there? Awesome. Rears his head and comes into the air space?
Watched this slo mo train wreck on the news tonight. Incoherence would be an improvement.
Well Mr. Bogg, it appears Planned Parenthood agreed with your linked tactic to donate to the group in Sarah Palin’s name. Crooks and Liars has the details.

Also saw Obama and McCain take questions from Couric. Obama was fine. The McCain segment strangely-edited, as if the responses didn’t go with the questions. Wasn’t that an issue @ CBS not long ago? McCain grinned triumphantly while saying he was putting “country first” by attending to the bailout crisis. Bullshit!
Oh, and Palin was unwatchable. I listened because I had to know what everyone would be talking about tomorrow.
Oh goodness, think how far we have fallen. Do you remember Bill Clinton, his speeches, his press conferences, his interviews, his impromtu conversations? Do you remember what it was like to have an intelligent, engaged, thinking chief executive who was available 24/7 to speak on any subject, at any lenght, any where?
I know , I know, he has a fidelity problem. But is it just me that just do not feel Obama has shown enough passion. Or am I just pining for 1992.
There all them people goes again. They be pickin’ on mah cuddly Sayruh Bayruh (Cuda) and everyone knows “Cuda” is what ya yell after your orgasm over shooting an unarmed wolf from a Cessna.
Wolfs are on the evolutionary chain for Basset Hounds if you understand that under the Flintstone Doctrine of Comparative/Developmental Anatomy (the FDCDA) evolution is why they have the same arm, hand, and shoulder structure that Arnold schwarzenegger has).
So basically Sayruh Bayruh has been shooting unarmed dogs for sport.
I think Sayruh and McSayruh’s moronicity is a virus that has become airborne and pandemic. These pathetic schmucks and schumkesses including Caleeyforneys own Power Suit Pelosi are dumb as a rock. This proposed bail out is insipidly stupid. They don’t have to appropriate a fucking penny by a fucking few day deadline to save the markets and screw middle and less than middle America economically speakking. And the media is equally pathetic.
And as to Sayruh’s idiot answer that Putin’s flight plan takes his airplanes over Alaska, she’s just advancing the well known phenomenon of flight thought where learning and experience are conferred proportional to who is in the plane that flys over.
For example before Sayruh shoots the wolfies, the wolfies are able to absorb all Sayruh’s magnificent Betz cells because she is over them in a plane. Likewise if you live in a city with the world’s busiest airport, then you can absorb the brain power of all the smart people who are in planes that fly over you. But the catch is, and this has been confusing Sayruh, that you also absorb the lack of inteeligence and chaotic thought patterns of all the morons that fly over you as well.
Keep interviewin’ Sayruh. Keep backing out of debates Johnnie Mack. I have enough popcorn to enjoy the next 39 days are so of implosion.
Don’t ask me when “She’s just as stupid as you are!” became a legitimate qualification for national office, but I’m guessing it was around the same time that most people in this country decided to replace America with a reality show entitled Who Wants to Kick Some Democratic Ass.
Judging from what’s gone on in this election, I am starting to suspect that no one actually wants to win this thing. I’ll bet when it comes down to the wire, they end up sticking the job on the last guy/gal to say “not it.”
It’s like reading comments at Confederate Yankee or Hot Air.
What is the plural for wolf?
wolfs
woolves
voolves
***wolves
wolf
I guess wolves are what Sayruh Bayruh (Cuda) shoots unarmed and wolfs are words doggies use.
I sure was surprised to learn from mah Sayruh that Alaska has a very narrow border with Russia. Maybe Obama could appoint igloo brains the Geography Poet Laureate.
One thing is for sure. Whoever that recent baby came from, he’s going to be considerably more insightful, nuanced and intelligent than it’s purported mother or grandmother and able to answer questions from Couric ( the best of the only three spontaneous questions and interviews to date compared with Uncle Avuncular softball Charlie and shitferbrains Hannity).
I know one thing. Clinton and his passive aggressive wife are not doing jack shit that’s substantive to help Obama. They are completely about giving her another shot in 4 years that they know she’s not going to get the rest of her life and the Clintons will go to her grave refusing
a) release of their 2007 tax returns
b) the Foundation contributions
c) the library contributions
because within those released documents are the seeds of a pending indictment for both of them.
Partial transcript of Sayruh’s interview with Katie
He could also teach her (and Bush) to pronounce “new-clee-er”…
Can anyone even guess what she was blithering about? I’m not even going into the shit about Putin rearing his head and coming into Alaskan airspace. (Thank you, JeanArf @#11). Alaska, including the offshore islands, has a seacoast of 33,000 miles. What does “narrow maritime border” mean? Can this pathetic woman even speak or understand English?
Please, TBogg, for the love all that is holy and sacred–bring on the Bassets. America needs them! Now, more than ever.
Well, it certainly does because our– our next door neighbors are foreign countries.
Canada being that other “foreign country.”
The way she says “foreign”, you’d think Canada was about to go all nuke on her ass.
There is not a Basset alive that couldn’t have answered every one of Couric’s questions with exponentially more coherence.
Sayruh has a subtype of autism or savantism that neurology has done relatively little to define, and one of the symptoms is that she impartially conflates all the parts of speech in a sentence by reflex. Any semblance of an organized thought process is impacted by overwhelming panic that she doesn’t know what the fuck to say, and it results in grammatical chaos.
I hope Sayruh keeps up the “interviews” because she reminds me of Professor Irwin Corey and the new guy that shows up on Weekend Update with the NYT now called Nicholas Fenn who is played by Fred Armison.
She’s gonna bring the fight to them with her wolf gun routing the flight path through her “maritime space.”
Complete transcript of mah gurl Sayruh’s rambling with Katie the Couric
It could be possible and may be probable that when her witch hunting minister couldn’t excorcize the witches out of Sayruh, that we were left with this demon inside her:

Irwin Corey aka Sayruh the Impalin on Geography
As with Corey, communication is not Sayruh’s native language.
just a thought: isn’t it a GOOD idea to dodge bullets?
It’s not like she’s taking a bullet for McCain or the GOP or whatever in some heroic way. She’s taking bullets because she’s wandering around the firing range clueless during target practice.
– I’ll take Gape In Horror for $2,000, Tbogg.
– A ten letter word meaning: “exaggeration by means of often ludicrous distortion of parts or characteristics”…
– What is…cari….caric…mock! What is mock?
– Bzzzt! No, a ten letter word — “caricature.” We were looking for “caricature…”
They aren’t letting her debate Biden. Something shiny is going to fly by. Or a mini-rapture is going to take her to Georgia…
The bassets actually make more sense than Ms. Sarah.
I think she is more of a bullet-talking straight-dodger who doesn’t down a home.
Say what you will, but it’s my opinion that Sarah Palin is perfectly qualified to lead today’s Republican Party. She’d have run the table in the Republican primaries had she gotten a passport to visit the lower 48.
Listening to this interview, I think the African witchdoctor/preacher was only partially successful in exorcising the intelligence demons from Sarah.

Oh please, oh please… (via LGM)
Wow… I skimmed through the first dozen or some comments over there and that’s some serious Kool-aid drinking going on. They actually believe she’s “much more intelligent” than Obama and will “wipe the floor with him” in a debate? Have they actually watched any of the interviews she’s done so far?
Comment of the thread:
I think he’s being sarcastic but…
Don’t be so sure. Someone is keeping the polls as close as they are. These people actually think Palin is great. That’s the scary part.
Caribou Barbie definitely has to cut down on her caffeine intake.
Leaving aside The Gal Who Makes Doug Feith Look Like A Genius for a sec… Donald Douglas calling you “Demonic Conservative Ridicule Machine”? That is awesome, dude! When I think of Demonic Conservative Ridicule Machine, I imagine some type of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth-type machine, complete with some metrosexual McCloud dude with his tongue out and eyes a-bugging, holding the shifter in an oddly delicate grip while he rides roughshod over wingnuts. I’d buy that T-shirt.
Oh, and this image is a veritable ROFLCOPTER.
There’s more to broadcast & unless Joe Scarborough is putting us on…
