Wow.  What in the hell was that?

I haven’t watched it yet.

How do you glamper?

Gah.

People say she isn’t going to run, but I think she will, you betcha. She has had every camera trained on her for a year now and it’s like the sound is turned off: people are mesmerized by her, but they can’t possibly be actually listening to her. Her words make no sense as they’re coming out of her mouth! It’s like tossed word salad, heavy on the talking points and easy on the intellectual portion.

Howasabout that modest disclaimer at the end, with the, “they’re looking for someone, not necessarily ME” part. Heh.

Verrrry scary.

The scary thing is, this was an O’Reilly interview, so you know the parts that made her look the dumbest ended up on the cutting room floor. This was what they could string together as fit for public consumption. And right after the jumbled talking points souffle served above, O’Reilly solemnly declares her qualified.

The look on O’Reilly’s face at the end of this clip is priceless - “oh shit, she really IS that dumb”.

Christ, she talks like Lawrence Welk.

“Well, you know how the young people enjoy the rock-and-roll. So here’s Dawn and Frankie with a medley of toe-tapping hits that will surely make your Funky Monkey get up and do The Locomotion. Anna one, anna two…”

OK, never mind. I wrote that based on the headline.

Lawrence Welk at least knew how to make bubbles. Palin just chases them around and snaps at them.

In defense of those of us who just can’t turn our heads away when this fool opens her mouth, she is not merely a car crash, she is a car crash wearing nothing but shit-stained boxer shorts and hair curlers while a transvestite dwarf throws up on it.

Betty, you’re right. In all the interviews I’ve seen with her (and I didn’t see the Oprah one) the interviewers all look either dumbfounded or embarrassed at the end. Remember Charlie Gibson? He looked like someone hit him over the head with a two-by-four. Even Katie Couric, who is no intellectual giant, came away looking mortified, like she had farted over the air. I imagine O’Reilly, who lies for a living and keeps a straight face, managed to pull off a serious, believing expression, but I bet he rolled his eyes off camera.

Are we sure they didn’t just run her real response through babelfish?

I am so looking forward to the first primary debate!
