Hardball questions are supposed to be tough ones that the candidate will have trouble answering without revealing more than “political speak”. For Palin that includes ,What magazines do you read" and Who is your favorite Founding father? Those are gotcha questions because she can not give an intelligent response. Ask your kids those questions and you will get an answer. Ask Palin and she is floundering.
She also couldn’t name any Supreme Court cases besides Roe v. Wade.
Any particular reason why you posted this without first clicking the link I gave in the post immediately preceding yours?
And why do you not consider the CNN video that leads the Crooks & Liars’ transcript to not be a CNN video?
And she thought those were just two different ways to cross a stream.
Oh, wait, that was a Dan Quayle joke, sorry …
I’ve got it! Send her on “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader.”
Well, she did come up with Chargers V. Bengals.
They could put that on pat TV. It would make a fortune. The Daily Show and comedians across America could help pay for it. It would be worth the cost.
She probably thinks Wade Boggs is what you have to do in order to cross the Yukon River.
The answer I’d’ve liked from Palin re: “what magazines do you read?”
“I really like to go through Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. Todd buys them all the time and I steal them, often before he gets to read them first. I like reading about American ingenuity and what crazy stuff is possible now, or five or ten years from now. Sometimes, though, I flip through old issues, though, and it makes me a little sad, because there were so many interesting ideas that just never happened, maybe they didn’t work out well, or nobody could make them affordable. Then I think about what could happen if the Democrats start pushing a lot of wild ideas and they fizzle out, doing more harm then good. Sometimes you gotta improve what you have instead of reaching for something new, just because it is new. It’s being careful and realistic that makes me a conservative.”
Wow, that’s good. It’s intelligent and cogent, yet it sounds like something she could say. Bravo, Bryan.
There’s no chance she’s ever heard of those magazines, much less read them.
Yes there is: I’m not about to watch a Youtube video on the job.
CNN footage that matches the transcript will qualify as a reliable source. Please understand, I’m doing my due diligence. I know Ms Palin can’t form a coherent statement on national TV to save her [del]paycheck[/del]life, but even she deserves good source checking.
“Black Juggs. Next question.”
“Well, definitely not Playgirl! Especially that issue! Because that would be weird and creepy, wouldn’t it? Yep, definitely no Playgirl in my house, you betcha. Absolutely not.” {Did I remember to put it back in the shoebox in the closet when I was done? Hope these reporter-guys don’t ask to see the rest of the house, just in case. That would be awkward. Yep. Awkward.}
Oh. My. Og. :eek:
And Fox STILL hired her to do commentary? 
No, Fox hired her to attract right wing viewers.
Touche, Bookkeeper.
I think it’s a sure bet she’s on Fox News for reasons other than clarity of thought.
Can you name a Fox news personality who IS on Fox News because of their clarity of thought?
Clarity, simplicity, potato, potahto…
