Palin and high-stakes hand-holding

McAmnesty: I introduce my VP nominee, Katie Couric!!!
Yes, Couric and Palin are mirror images of each other.
Note the reading glasses that Couric donned for THIS interview.
She's saying ''Hey, I can look smart by wearing reading glasses too!''.
Just like Obama, it's all image.
God help us all!

brjosh: "Reminds me of the '20 questions' interview when Bush was running for office in 2000. The Boston reporter started asking him if he knew the leader's name for such-and-such country. As if that is an indicator of leadership ability."

Not to be snide, but how did George W. Bush turn out for us?

Meanwhile, regarding the claim that Gov. Palin has been listening to Joe Biden speeches since "Second Grade": Sarah Palin (nee Heath) was born in February 1964. I expect she entered Second Grade at the age of 7, so she was probably in Second Grade from Fall 1971 through Spring 1972. Biden was not elected to the US Senate until November 1972, so was Sarah Heath listening to his speeches when he was a world-reknowned member of the New Castle County Council?

I have to say, her proclivity to dissemble, exaggerate and outright lie in response to questions reminds me of, uh, Bill Clinton.

Luc: You are quite right. She has lied about that bridge and continues to lie about that and others things too - ok maybe not "lie" - but cetainly be dishonest.

I suspect that the problem here is that the Christian Right is quite used to saying, "Well, abortion is by far the most important thing, so shut the h*ll up about all your petty concerns about honesty, death penalty, waterboarding, starting foolish wars, trampling on the constitution, holding prisoners forever without process, spying on our citizens without judicial oversight, firing prosecutors, outing spies, ... Nothing matters except abortion, you filthy liberal!" No wonder Palin's dishonesty is easy for them to swallow.
