Oh! My God.

She’s really THAT BAD.

I had to back up the tape to verify it, but watch how on the Rick Davis question she trots out a by-rote answer, but when Couric rephrases and sharpens the question, SHE SAYS THE EXACT SAME WORDS.  But tries to make herself sound smarter by placing the em-PHA-sis on different syl-LA-bles.

The McCain campaign is an even bigger shitpile than the mortgage industry. Train-wrecks everywhere are feeling suddenly inadequate.  George Michael just put down the crack pipe and passed out (much to the annoyance of all the drivers behind him) and when he came to with the cops pounding on the car windows, he thought, “Man, I’ve got to step up my game.  John McCain is trying to weasel out of the debate!”

And yet there are still some hapless tools out there who honestly think this is some kind of strategery on the old man’s part, a way to turn the spotlight back on himself.

David Letterman isn’t one of them.

    Yeh, but he’s a maverick… so just ignore all the deregulation he’s supported for 26 years Capitol Hill and all the lobbyists who have crafted every policy he stands for but will flip flop on with a 24 hour news cycle.

    This is your brain, this is your brain on Republicans, any questions?

    Sorry. I was referring to the old public service announcements that equated drug use on the brain to frying an egg.

    I feel Republicans like Palin have fried their brains trying to fit their twisted world view into reality.

    TRex,

    For the last week or so, with each passing day, McCain looks more and more frantic searching for the right posture, or the right verbiage that would allow him to project an image of presidentiality. (new word). And with those same passing days with McCain unsuccessfully flailing for a sense of authority in the economic news cycle, Palin is just a brick tied to his neck. One thick, dense, square brick.

    They deserve each other.

    I like the additional hand movements she uses for double super duper emphasis. She did this in the interview with Charle”I get paid 7mil a year to do jackshit”Gibson too,so I guess it’s a feature,not a bug.

    I’m surprised she was even able to be a governor.(until I think of Sonny Purdue,and then I realize my cat could be the governor)

    By the by,is anyone else having a gas(the kind that goes in cars,silly)shortage where they live? It’s getting BAD here in ATL.

    “Platitude’ McFailin strikes again as the wheels come off the “Straight Talk Express”.
    Ever wonder how McSame wrecked all those planes? I don’t.
    Letterman’s showing the shot of McSame having his make-up prep before talking to Couric is as damaging as it gets.
    These people couldn’t lead themselves out the exit door after the movie’s over.

    Wow. Punked by Katie Couric. That has to hurt.

    The American people will not support the bailout as it’s written, and neither will we. But we don’t follow poll numbers, like that icky Obama. But we know what people are thinking anyway.

    Sorry. I just suffered a slight stroke. I’m OK now.

    Jesus.

    When did Sarah Palin’s candidacy turn into the Special Olympics of politics? Make up your minds guys, either Sarah {”Killing moose is fun!”) Palin can do the job or she can’t. Can you say “irresponsible”, boys and girls?

    Forrest Gump would be a better vice-president. At least he had dumb luck on his side.

    Let’s not fool ourselves. Ms. Palin is a vast Black Hole of entitled, mean-spirited stupidity, an unearthly and terrifying anomaly that sucks all intelligence into her cold, black depths.

    After eight years of Bush, Ms. Palin is exactly what we need. As Will Rogers said, “Stupidity got us into this mess, why can’t stupidity get us out?”

    Here comes the new Stupid, same as the old Stupid.

    God help us.

    I love Letterman. He was REALLY pissed last night.

    Here’s a youtube to Barbara Boxer saying she was SHOCKED when she heard McPlaneCrash wanted a timeout and it was like crawling into the corner with your blanket!

    I have read the transcripts, I just cannot bear to watch the video. My head would explode. Republicans, who think women are interchangeable (witness their multiple marriages) thought for sure that all the Hillary supporters would vote for one vagina just as well as another.

    This woman is worse than Bush. She doesn’t know that she doesn’t know enough to be where she is. She has such a certainty about her (like the Church lady) that reeks of a small, confined life and she knows without exploring, seeking or thinking that she is right.

    Sure, let’s send her out there in the big, wide world and see how she does. We got nothing to lose, right?
