What's that? Right-wing talk show hosts versus Bill O'Reilly? Wait, isn't that like Nazis versus the KKK?

    Tonight's Daily Show was really good. I'm pleased that he's willing to point out stupidity on both sides of the playing field.

    Regarding the OP: It's actually a little surprising that Billo would say anything negative about bush, but then, I guess it's hard to posit that it is day when it is actually night.

    Bill O'Reilly is a weird guy. I think he's probably very moderate in his private life, but he also realizes that moderation doesn't make any fucking money and he needs a new golden convertible rolls royce.

    Something I just don't get is why politicians persist in trying to answer questions that are obviously intended to make them look stupid and uninformed. All they do is make it really obvious they are trying to dodge the question with rubbish generic responses and still come across as stupid and uninformed. Why not just laugh and say 'Haha! I get it, you're trying to make me look dumb. Nice one, high five!'.

    it's just about being put on the spot I think. Some people are really good at coming up with fast witty responses on the fly, other people aren't at all.
    Palin is obviously not at all good at that.

    It's funny because while I have been pretty sure that I will be voting Obama come election day, I was still on the fence until Palin got the VP nod.

    I still think McCain would do a great job as president, but putting a ditz like that one step away from the highest office in the land during a period ongoing war, unease in foreign relations, and total economic meltdown kinda makes me, what's the word.

    Scared shitless.

    It wasn't a question to make her seem stupid and uniformed. It was a softball question like which is your favorite comic character or do you like pie or cake more. Classic Couric.

    All Caribou Barbi would have had to say was "I read the Washington Post, Wallstreet Journal, Newsweek...maybe some People or Fashion Magazines when I want to relax". Even if she can't read...just lie. You can't prove she reads them or not. Don't go on a oratory about the vast variety of news and how you read all of them, because Alaska isn't a foreign country. What a dumbass.

    I personally feel sorry for John McCain to have to try and talk to this woman. You know he didn't want to pick her, but his handlers felt she was the best choice. I bet he wants to smother her in her sleep and blame Agent Orange.

    I honestly believe I would leave America for Europe or Canada should McCain win the presidency as having an evangelical hockey mom who has absolutely zero skill sets applicable to the most POWERFUL JOB IN THE WORLD one heartbeat away would scare me like nothing.

    Its like McCain decided to pick the WORST POSSIBLE PERSON EVER and grab her for the hillary/nutjob religious votes. He would have been better off picking an inanimate carbon rod as VP than her.

    Im also looking forward to the VP debate and watching Biden tear her into tiny pieces as her ignorance and stupidity is revealed for everyone to see in the spot light. No media blackout from this!
