i mean why even name that kid trig

bad-um......... tsk tsk.

that couric interview with her is insane. she's insane.
republicans arent doubting. not when the MEDIA IS BEING SOOO UNFAIR TO HER BY ASKING QUESTIONS WITH AN AGENDA

seriously, she's locked in for them. anything that makes her look bad is purely external.

I think even laura bush underestimated how much sarah needs to learn on the job when she said that in an interview the other day. McCain in the Membrane!

Did you watch the video? He's placing his hand on her, praying that God deliver her from witchcraft and give her money to win her campaign.

Funny, but sooooo not funny.

Like part 2 of her interview with Katie. Funny to watch like a stand up comedian bombing. Not funny because there still is a chance of this lady being in office.

Yeah I did.

Let me explain what I mean by "sorry for her" - it is more "compassion" in the Buddhist sense than it is "empathy" or even "sympathy". In the same way that you can see someone who is clearly mentally ill in the street or on a bus muttering to themselves or cursing and feel sorry for them. You feel for their suffering, in other words, even though they themselves don't necessarily realise they are suffering.

I believe she is so utterly deluded, and convinced of her own awesomeness and invincibility, that she fails to realise that she is little more than a laughing stock now for vast swathes of the international population.

The only people who continue to put her on a pedestal seem to be those who are equally as deluded - the creationists, the rapture-believers, those who genuinely believe she is God's messenger on God's mission to take over America.

I cannot imagine that any person in their right mind, Republican or not, Christian or not, can look at the catalogue of incidents and statements that have been coming to light since her appointment as Veep candidate, in particular the "casting out of witches", and think that the country could ever be safe in her hands. Unless, of course, they are equally nuts and actually believe in witches, creationism, the Rapture, the End of Days, blah blah blah.

But she didn't. She came out with guns a' blazin', acting as if she thought she could say absolutely anything she wanted with impunity. So while I know you don't mean you feel deeply sorry for her, I just can't seem to feel even a tiny sliver of empathy for the woman. In fact, I'm rooting for her political career to completely implode, because I've actually seen interviews with her friends and political cohorts where they've said that Palin's told them that her ultimate goal is to be President. I never want her anywhere near the White House. Ever.

Trying to pin down why I'm feeling slightly sorry for her - I think it's partly because it's becoming increasingly apparent that this person has been exploited by McCain and he should shoulder a lot of the flak coming her way, and partly because I can see her desperately trying to sound professional and confident (and when you're in that situation, you often think a show of humility would be wrong) but giving completely cringeworthy performances on camera and looking so stupid to so many people. The fact that she's so new, so fish out of water, yet facing such a barrage of laughter makes me wince. Even though I abhor much of what she believes in.

I think that's why. She may not deserve sympathy, but then I'm not consciously choosing to offer it.

I can understand it....I just don't personally feel it.

my buddhist compassion will kick in as soon as she crawls back into the bad jesus freak channel family sitcom she came from.
