The point is - she's a politician. Wow she's stupid, congratulations, you identified a stupid politician. Having a "look how stupid Palin is" circle jerk doesn't impress anyone and it doesn't accomplish anything. Consider the fact that this of all things is what you guys want to string her up for...come on.
There was a lot of debate in here about whether or not she was Vice Presidential candidate material in the run up to the election... and a lot of people here argued in her favour. There is now talk that she might run again at some stage in the future... this makes her debate-worthy. She's been caught a cropper here doing the same thing she criticized Obama for, she has to face the slings and arrows now... that's just how the world (and politics in particular) works.

A similar example in Northern Ireland would be the First Minister who criticized homosexuality as immoral, citing Leviticus as part of her reasoning. She has recently been caught having an affair with a then 19 year old man whom she solicited loans for through her office. The same part of the Bible that she used to condemn homosexuals also says that unfaithful wives should be stoned to death. She is getting slated in the press now... and she deserves every bit of it.

Palin's faux pas is a similar, though less severe, example of hypocrisy in public office.

Just because it goes network news -> copy/paste to bf2s doesn't make it a valid "debate" or make it a worthy topic to be talked about.
Now you're resorting to questioning the validity of the topic?

Yeah...Mod it up.

So we no longer have to discuss the topics given to us in DST? They're all free range EE chats? Sweet.

I feel good about beating up on retarded children? What is it with this forum and absolutely shit ad hominem arguments? What does that have to do with anything? No, really, answer all of these questions. Please.
I don't even understand what you're saying in the second line. Of course I'm questioning the validity of the topic. That's all I've been doing the entire time. Just because it's in DST doesn't mean it's worth a damn.

You think Palin is extremely stupid yes? So why do you bother insulting someone you find extremely base?

That's why this is such a laugh. You have to work pretty hard to throw a stone in Washington and avoid hitting a hypocrite. It's not even really funny anymore when Stewart does it.

Do you feel Palin should be allowed some sort of free pass on criticism?

She's a public figure with political affiliations, she made a point of criticizing Obama for relying on queues when speaking publicly, she has now been caught doing the same thing... a lot of people would regard such hypocrisy from a politically significant figure as worthy of debate.

I saw your post. Your point?

How else do you attempt to point DST in the right direction without complimenting good threads and deriding bad ones?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Many of you guys have done the same thing in reverse - defended Obama and are now attacking Palin.

You might have valid reasons for disliking Palin. This is not one of them. Using this one when you have countless others makes you look as stupid as her.
Obama uses teleprompters and stop every two seconds every sentence or so. Bush is better to watch during a speech.
Only because he's so fucking rubbish at speaking it's hilarious.

We probably see less of his public speeches than the US public does but I have to tell you, Obama has a reputation of being an impressive speaker here in Europe... we must not be getting the bad speeches, post a few if you have links to them.
It's funny coz he tries so hard.

She could take the entire retard vote away from the Republican party if she runs independent. That's gotta be at least 5% of total poll.

If the Republicans are stupid enough to nominate her it will just mean four more years for O and don't think for a moment that the power brokers in the right wing don't know it.

If the republicans nominate her it is because they want four more years of Obama, simple.

Fuck me, she's coming to my city for a convention. This furthers my resentment of my province. Fuck, Alberta might as well be the 51st state. GWB has his first convention in my city, Calgary, after he left office, now PALIN is coming here?

Having this ritard, yes ritard, coming here, having 500 tickets sold at 149-199 ea, and most likely going to sell out. Speaks a lot about the people living here... im so frustrated right now.

In my opinion she is in WAAYYY over her head, was thorwn in the public eye without the inkling of thought about how she might act.

no teleprompter or handwritten note

"It was thus interesting to see Obama climb to the stage at Virginia's Jefferson-Jackson Dinner on Saturday night. As he strode to the podium, Obama clutched in his hands a pile of 3 by 5 index cards. The index cards meant only one thing--no Teleprompter.


Shorn of his Teleprompter, we saw a different Obama. His delivery was halting and unsure. He looked down at his obviously copious notes every few seconds throughout the speech. Unlike the typical Obama oration where the words flow with unparalleled fluidity, he stumbled over his phrasing repeatedly. "

Speaking in public is not easy... try it sometime...

i'm not entirely sure why people think using a teleprompter is a bad thing. fair enough, writing on your hand is about the same thing, but it's a pile more unproffesional.

I dunno, Bush got re-elected based on four years of the most epic fail.
