palin the comedian

Palin doesn't specify where she gets her news

WASHINGTON - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin repeatedly failed to cite a newspaper or magazine when asked what she had read regularly before John McCain picked her as his running mate, saying only that she had read "most of them."

Asked Tuesday by radio host Hugh Hewitt if she agreed that interviews with ABC's Charles Gibson and CBS' Couric were designed to embarrass her, Palin replied: "Well, I have a degree in journalism also, so it surprises me that so much has changed since I received my education in journalistic ethics all those years ago."

She continued: "But I'm not going to pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrelful. I'm going to take those shots and those pop quizzes and just say that's OK, those are good testing grounds. And they can continue on in that mode. That's good. That makes somebody work even harder. It makes somebody be even clearer and more articulate in their positions. So really I don't fight it. I invite it."

"I have quite a few people who are giving us information about the record of Obama and Biden, and at the end of the day, though, it is — it's so clear, again, what those choices are. Either new ideas, new energy and reform of Washington, D.C., or more of the same," Palin said.

Wow! So much in such a little article!
Of course, the absurd notion that she cannot even name a single newspaper or magazine that she reads is incredible!

Then she claims that these interviews are not "ethical" because the interviewers are actually asking her questions and wanting to know her opinions on matters that a Vice President will be involved in?! She certainly has an interesting view of journalism!

And then her last quote! Whew! She sounds like she thinks she is on Obama's team! Maybe she really is that confused! That is the choice, and who knows, maybe she is actually saying that she thinks that more of the same is a good thing, because there is no other way that this statement makes any sense! Her & McCain are going to be a 3rd bush term and Obama has wildly different views and policies that are designed to really change and help this country.

It is pretty funny that the McCain campaign is trying to hijack Obama's catch phrases for themselves because they literally have no new ideas of any sort. Pretty indicative of their whole campaign.
