CNN’s Anderson Cooper vs. Sarah Palin’s Spokesperson Meg Stapleton

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more ridiculous, along comes Sarah Palin’s vacationing spokesperson Meg Stapleton. Her interview with Anderson Cooper last night was a continuation of the steaming pile of stupid we witnessed earlier from her boss, including another forced and even more bizarre basketball analogy:

Do you say then that a point guard charging down a basketball court is not leading when he passes the ball or she passes the ball? [...] When someone is driving down a basketball court , which is her analogy and I think it speaks well to where she is, and that is, I can’t effect change right now because of the political climate that’s there.  I’m going to pass the ball.  I’m going around it. And we still all have the same common hoop, but I’m going around the block and I’m passing the ball at this time because it’s best for Alaska.

“And we still all have the same common hoop.” That fucking rocks a million different ways. Cooper’s facial expressions during that mess were priceless. Highly recommended.  The whole interview is great. You can watch it all here:
