DEAR EX-GOVERNOR PALIN, IF YOU PLAN ON RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, YOU REALLY SHOULD KNOW

the difference between Iraq and Iran.  I understand a slip-of-the-tongue, but you were speaking about Iraq when you should have been talking about Iran, and you didn't catch your mistake a second time?  But, then, neither did the brilliant, fair and balanced, Sean Hannity.  That's understandable.  He was so engrossed by your foreign policy charms that, I'm guessing, it didn't seem necessary for him to correct your confused and embarrassing prattle.


Iraq; Iran--what's the diff?  GWB attacked Iraq after Al Qaeda attacked the US.





Oh noes! Fair and Balanced FOX News puts up wrong book cover (the FAKE Sarah Palin book, "Going Rouge"), while reporting on the AP fact checking "Going Rogue!"

This happens all the time on FOX: they've put up fake photos of protest rallies (for which Hannity had to apologize); they've identified Republican politicians as Democrats when GOPers get in trouble; they showed a photo of Frederick Douglass while reporting on the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

More people watch FOX than watch any other cable news station. Sloppy, inaccurate, and deliberately deceptive, FOX News appeals to GOPers!

The best part of the tape is after Palin mentions Iraq in answer to Hannity's 'question' he proceeds on to the 'follow up' as if nothing went awry. Perhaps he corrected her after.

What was the name of that 1990's movie with Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey?

OOOooo! GOODIE that was such a good one! I wish I’d have thought of it!
"It's like — it was like Special Olympics, or something."
And that we have 57 states! Apparently, he doesn't know how many states are in the United States Union. Maybe he needs more law school.
And Yes, he also said that 10,000 people were killed in the Kansas tornadoes when in fact the death toll was 12. But I guess that he was just having a junior moment.
And how about, “My Muslim faith” I’m still on the fence about that one.

She can't see either Iran or Iraq from her backyard. So, it obviously doesn't matter.

Comparing Obama's mistakes to Sarah's?

Obama has engaged in dozens and dozens of interviews answering questions, including the Sunday morning shows, where every candidate has had the courage to appear (except Sarah Palin) and even going on FOX News.

Let her appear on MTP, Face the Nation or some other non-soft-ball questioning program, and let's see how she does.

She has NEVER done it, and she didn't do it when she was the VP nominee.

Her "interview" with Hannity was in friendly, non-stressful territory, and she still couldn't get her mind to work.

Does she have the courage to appear on Rachel Maddow's show?

Oy vey!

DOES OBAMBI HAVE THE COURAGE TO GO ON THE GLENN BECK SHOW?

Or on the Hannity show, or on the Rush Limbaugh show?


JERK!

Read this:

Barack Obama appeared on FOX News Sunday this morning 4/27/08, silencing the gimmicky (but apparently effective) clock that counted the days Chris Wallace waited for him. The questions were framed with negative terms, immediately putting the candidate on the defensive about recent primary losses to Senator Clinton.

and this:

President Barack Obama granted an extended interview to Fox senior White House correspondent Major Garrett, covering a range of topics on Special Report with Bret Baier Wednesday night.

Garrett began by welcoming Obama and wishing his family a happy holiday season. The president said he was glad to be on and wished "the Fox family" the same.


Why would the president of the United States of America appear on a show [Glenn Beck's] where the host [Glenn Beck] calls himself "a rodeo clown?"

We don't want our presidents being interviewed by clowns!

And Hannity is a proven deceiver.

And I don't think it's appropriate for Mr. Obama to be interviewed by a guy who forced his maid to score illegal prescription drugs for him.

Here's the link on Limbaugh using his housekeeper to score drugs:

JERK!

TAO said...

So, why would any decent human being have anything to do with a cable news channel that has now acknowledged twice in a week that they 'cook' the news by using video feed that fits the spin of the story they are trying to push rather than the actual footage...

Oh, and a few trolls want to hold them up as unbiased?

Get real...and you reactionary right trolls need to move on...Fox News let you down!

Like 3/4 of his friends? Isn't it about time that you took off your blindfolded?

Wow! 3/4 of Limbaugh's friends also used drugs? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

Just wow!
