What is the attention span of a Sarah Palin ?

[Ziggy Stardust]

So. Let me get this straight. People think it's not that strange that politicians have to write their main party's platform buzzwords on hands or paper?

Energy, Taxes, Lifting American Spirit, budget cuts are deemed too hard to remember, even though they are utter obnoxiously incessantly each and every time one of those goons finds themselves in front of a microphone? How do these people remember the names of their kids? Nametags?

I just saw John Stewart tear her up for this..

she is a first-class moron, as if we needed any more proof.

Why not?

Sometimes I think an everyday person would do a much better job to be honest.

We wouldn't trust an average joe to run a Fortune 500 company. We would want somebody with ABOVE-average understandings of corporate leadership and the market.

We wouldn't trust an average joe to run the Military. We'd want an ABOVE-average candidate with superior organizational skills, leadership, and command of tactics.

Why would we trust an average guy to lead the freakin' Free World? I want somebody more than average.

again the problem is not that she wrote on her hand its that she had just slammed Obama for his teleprompter while reading things from her hand

Teleprompter slam or no, it's still pretty unprofessional to keep your notes on your hand for a speech like this. Get a Post-it note!

So. Let me get this straight. People think it's not that strange that politicians have to write their main party's platform buzzwords on hands or paper?

Nope, notes on talking points aren't a big deal. If it had just been "taxes", and nothing else, sure, that's weird, but I don't hold it against her that she wanted to be able to checklist off her yakking.

How do these people remember the names of their kids? Nametags?

You name a kid Spatula and then see if you can forget it.

i cant believe that im about to defend Sarah Palin but maybe she didnt have enough time

 

[jUmpSt0p]

if she'd just taken a piece of paper and set it on the podium, no one would have cared.

but the fact that she's TOO DUMB to even realize that, the fact the SHE thinks she needs to cheat... it shows her total lack of confidence and even real conviction in what she's saying. the woman is a parrot.

You're defending her by saying maybe she was ill-prepared?

She was paid 100k for her appearance. She wasn't randomly picked out of the audience.

I'd want some of my money back.

well i excuse her for writing on her hand but not for being a hypocrite

the tea party convention?? they would pay to sniff her ass

Linky?

We wouldn't trust an average joe to run a Fortune 500 company. We would want somebody with ABOVE-average understandings of corporate leadership and the market.

Then why is Obama there? What corporation or business has he ever run?

We wouldn't trust an average joe to run the Military. We'd want an ABOVE-average candidate with superior organizational skills, leadership, and command of tactics.

So we agree that GWB was an above average guy.

Why would we trust an average guy to lead the freakin' Free World? I want somebody more than average.

And I think our process pretty much makes that happen. But fwiw, an average guy would at least have a much greater respect and appreciation for the things average people have to deal with, unlike the elitist politicians we seem to be plagued with.

Linky?

I just watched the whole episode at the official site. http://www.thedailyshow.com/

 

[Cutlass]

Thanks. Is it the most recent or do I have to hunt around a bit?

 

[FriendlyFire]

So we agree that GWB was an above average guy.

Why do I get the feeling that Mobboss is one of the 9% of US population that believed Bush administration economy was good in 2008 and approved the presidents handling.

 

[cardgame]

Bush's stupidity was certainly above-average.

 

[LucyDuke]

well i excuse her for writing on her hand but not for being a hypocrite

Fair.

So we agree that GWB was an above average guy.

We'd want an above-average guy... I'd bet my arm that dt didn't/wouldn't vote for that guy.

But fwiw, an average guy would at least have a much greater respect and appreciation for the things average people have to deal with, unlike the elitist politicians we seem to be plagued with.

Maybe for a few weeks. I don't think anybody in Washington can keep their heads out of Washington. Once you don't have to deal with the things average people have to deal with, you won't care about them quite as much either.

Thanks. Is it the most recent or do I have to hunt around a bit?

It's the most recent. February 8.

 

[BasketCase]

I would say the attention span of Sar---errrr......

Uhhh, I just noticed some paint drying on this other wall here. Back later.

If Sarah Palin can't remember to talk about tax cuts at a conservative convention, then yes, she is too stupid to hold public office.
