And if that’s not enough for you, you just have to see John McCain compare Sarah Barracuda to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.

Yes, she is ready! Ready to destroy America then the world in the name of her God. Willing to take away the rights of women all over America as she deems fit. Able to do so if the incompetent people elect this mess into the W.H.,or if they manage to steal yet a third election in a row.

WILL SARAH PALIN WEAR AN EARPIECE???
WILL SHE GET ANSWERS FED TO HER????

I think this is a legitimate concern based on her previous performances.

So our Sarah snitched on that evil, bully Couric and brought her Grampa to Couric’s house to have a “talk” with her. It is a good thing little Sarah had her Grampa there to keep the big, mean “gotcha monsters” away. That Couric beast! Everyone knows she lives deep in the land of the ultra-liberal-socialist elite (that is, those who choose to ignore any other interview she has ever done with a politician). She was still a little scared, but with Grampa John by her side she got up the courage to say the magic right-wing words (given to her by the wizard Rove) and take away the Couric’s power.
We should all be so very proud of our little Sarah. She sure showed those gotcha monsters and the world is now a more snugly safe place. Now it is her beddy-bye time (for the next 2.5 days). We need to leave her alone so she can sleep and dream of more magic words so she can fight the Biden. Sweet dreams pretty Sarah.

Can’t help but wonder what he says to her in private, as publicly he attempts to “mop up” the mistakes she makes.  He’s like a doting father making excuses for her actions, all the while claiming she’s ready for prime time.  These interviews are painful to watch.  But I’ll bet in private he’s telling her to stick to the talking points she’s been briefed on, maybe try to make them a little more coherent, not all rushed out in a couple sentences, and for God sakes, clear any new points with the handlers, Sarah.  Don’t answer the questions directly, you may be asked if you think witchcraft is presenting a problem in this country…again, and what your plans are to do about that if elected.

The interview between McCain and Palin with Couric makes me think of a father accompanying his daughter to the bank to open a savings account.  “Gotcha Journalism” is a joke.  In the same manner that Bush’s legacy will include the appointment of incompetent people to important positions, McCain is following suit.  Palin’s need to have McCain present to cover for her shows that she doesn’t have the competence, caliber, or education to be commander in chief; and the McCain campaign knows it.

The coaching is starting to pay off.  Did you notice how her accent- the gonna’s and yeah’s and other Fargo speak have been smoothed over?
