So, with this level of skill, she'd probably have trouble getting into the eighth grade band at the Wasilla middle school.

But that doesn't matter, 'cause she's got PTA "experience".

Oh man that publish vs queued time thing is a pain in the butt.

This is Palin saying 'I actually don't read enough of anything to know what I should say as a learned answer here'.

Holy crap she's a vapid, knowledgeless individual who shouldn't be allowed in the PTA let alone the whitehouse.

Some people are delusional. He probably thought running for and occupying office would just be one more crazy trip to try, kind of like how Palin thinks running the US shouldn't be any different than a PTA meeting.

This cannot be said enough. Quayle the posterboy for unqualified at least had a law degree and elected twice to US House and US Sentate. The last moron this inexperienced was from Texas and political background just as Gov. (He also at least managed a baseball team, but that is probably like being mayor of Wasilla).

What kind of moron lists PTA and beauty pageants on their resume or campaign website????? Who BRAGS because they left the country once to go to Kuwait and see some of them "arabs". Yeee-haw. Go shoot some more wolfs and bears. She is like a parody of crazy Bush. Like Bush minus the years of coke and drinking.

It is probably best to pull the punches regarding Palin's family, her Christian values, anything that may vaguely come across as sexist, any comments about the irrelevancy of her experience as a mom, PTA member, TV reporter, etc. The same goes for joking about McCain's overuse of his time spent in the prison camp. All these points while valid don't seem to be helping.


BINGO! Couldn't agree more. Obama and Biden are doing a great job at steering clear of this trap, but the GOP will still SAY they are beating up on her about this stuff... and it won't matter if someone calls them on it because it never matters when they stretch the truth to people too busy to check the facts.

It seems all these aggressive anti-Palin stories are really strengthening the GOP base behind Palin. To the GOP base she comes across as a common soccer mom making a brave stand against a barrage of attacks coming from the liberal left. For example, the bit Matt Daemon did here about Palin's candidacy being something straight out of a bad Disney movie - the bit is funny, it is a valid/scary observation but it is polarizing. It is not likely to convert most people. If the argument against the McCain-Palin ticket is that a soccer mom with stronger Christian beliefs should not allowed near the presidency then the results of the 2004 election should tell you what America thinks of such arguments.

In my opinion, best to keep the arguments focused on the disaster that was the previous republican administration and how McCain's candidacy will be a continuation of that failed experiment. Use Palin's inexperience (and her likelihood of becoming the president) only to counter the right's argument that Obama is inexperienced. It is probably best to pull the punches regarding Palin's family, her Christian values, anything that may vaguely come across as sexist, any comments about the irrelevancy of her experience as a mom, PTA member, TV reporter, etc. The same goes for joking about McCain's overuse of his time spent in the prison camp.

best video i've seen in a month!!!
love the "PTA.. are you fucking serious??"

This is a dupe of this: http://www.videosift.com/video/McCain-Palin-Spokesman-Doesnt-Know-Palins-Accomplishments

and this: http://www.videosift.com/video/Cindy-McCain-Im-a-retard-talking-about-Palin

With only a tiny bit extra from Cindy McCain talking about the PTA thrown in.

PTA could pull a good performance out of a coffee mug. He is a genius.

PTA can even pull a good performance out of Adam Sandler.

There is a rumour that SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ASSHATS.

Does it matter who was pregnant ever? Who cares if her doctor told her she can fly home? Who cares if her daughter is/was knocked up. Who cares who stayed home from school for how long. They are all losing arguments.

SHE IS THE MOST UNDER-QUALIFIED PERSON EVER NOMINATED. period.

She is another "Brownie" or "Goodling" and a signal that cronyism and religious pedigree have already destroyed this country if we are at the point where this is the GOP VP pick.

For fucks sake, Dan Quayle has a law degree and was elected twice to the U.S. House of Representatives and twice to the goddamn Senate. She got 2nd place in a beauty pageant in a state where the total population was under 500,000. And the media has nothing else to say about her than her PTA leadership. I mean come on.

Earlier, Cindy says that Palin's got experience because she served in the PTA!

And just previous to this clip, Cindy was taking umbrage at Obama' for saying that her husband is "out of touch" because he doesn't know how many houses he owns. Gimme a break.

@dft, I did my armchair pundit thing over here.

>> ^hueco_tanks:
The right wing talking heads are suggesting straight-faced that Palin's 21-month governorship in Alaska and 2-terms as mayor of Wasilla (not to mention her time on the PTA) compares favorably to Obama's preparation to lead the free world. She has "more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined."

They need to be careful with that comment, since it applies to McCain himself, too.

By that logic, Palin is the most qualified of the four.

If executive experience was all that mattered to people, Gov. Richardson would've been the Dem nominee, and Gov. Huckabee or Fmr. Gov. Romney would've been the GOP nominee.

The whole "people prefer Governors" thing pretty much refers to Governors of New York, Florida, Texas, and California. Alaska the state has a smaller population than the city I live in. Guiliani, as Mayor of New York, was responsible for over ten times as many people as Palin has been as Governor, and people scoffed at his "executive" experience.

^Don't forget hockey mom, and PTA member.

Vice-President of WHAT!?! Really!?!

Give me a break. Are Americans really this stupid? The conservative base is energized by a hockey-mom-would-be-president.
