Has anyone else noticed that Palin cannot directly answer ANY single question she's asked?? It doesn't matter where or by whom she is asked, she just completely ignores it or answers by repeating the question.
She doesn't ignore the questions, she just has no fucking knowledge in her head TO answer them. Don't you know this is why people laugh at Palin. Sheesh, you must be one of her offspring asking a fucking stupid question like that! Everyone except you it seems has fucking noticed. Dumb-ass.
Amazing - While listening to Biden, I found myself being drawn into the conversation. His meaning was crystal-clear. When the conversation switched to Palin, it was like a switch was thrown. Within just a few seconds, I was utterly lost. Even if I concentrated fully, I could not follow her disjointed 'thoughts'. Listening to Sarah Palin has the effect of fogging my brain and irritating my nerves.
It's simple. The constitution is a set or rules. Something can be constitution, unconstitutional, or non-constitutional. For example, labor unions, are a non-constitutional issue. Therefore unions are resolved at the state level (unions being "closed shop states", and "right to work" states having open shops). Speed limits is another non-constitutional issue. Abortion was long considered a non-constitutional issue, but it was successfully argued that a law that took the life of an innocent mother was unconstitutional. See Row v Wade. The problem with Roe was it also went way beyond the constitution by addressing elective abortion which not covered by the "life of the mother" issue. See Dobbs. Which article of the constitution covers elective abortion? Freedom of assembly? The right to bear arms? No, there are none. The Supreme Court has exhausted its options. Palin is absolutely correct in referring it to the states, because there is no place else for it to go.
"Governor Palin, can you please let me know specifically what kind of cereal you enjoy in the morning?" "Well ya know Katey, when I'm at home in Alaska, with my husband and beautiful children, we enjoy all of the cereal that this great country offers to us. We enjoy our god given right to chose which cereal we eat, and how we enjoy it.".
> I really dont care whether or not she > performs well for the media Performing for the media? Wasn't that what she was doing at the convention, to great praise from the GOP? You're right, being able to memorize a script (that she didn't even write) has nothing to do with being VP. BUT SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO REHEARSE OR "PERFORM" IF SHE HAS PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR INTEREST IN THE TOPICS, i.e. I knew what the Bush Doctrine was simply by watching the news. Shouldn't the VP know what's going on?
To be honest, I think she is extremely ignorant but she seems smart I think. The way she manages to pretend she knows the answers with a straight face is quite remarkable lol
This interview is proof that Palin was not a victim of liberal media. Katie asked Biden the same question, and guess what, he actually answered it (pretty straightforward and passionately, too!)
The fact that she will be potentially leading the free world with no knowledge of basic high-school level questions that are important to our country is frightening. She is one 72 year-old's heartbeat from picking our Supreme Court Justices and leading our country.
BabyCougar38 I am with you! Sarah Palin has it all! She is great at bringing people together and working with both parties to get things done. You don't have to talk like and act like a politician to get things done. One less lawyer in Washington would be wonderful!
Amazing. That post just choked me up. If more people would speak from an international perspective and personal experience within the WORLD rather than just their own country's (community, or opinion), this would be a much better world. I thank you for posting this. And please, vote. I'm Canadian so my hands are tied.
She didn't even get where Couric was going with the privacy issue, she flipped right back to her state-should-decide broken record. This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Which to me is incomprehensible. When I was in school in the 1970s, we had to lear ALL the important high-court-cases, it was a requirement in AMERICAN HISTORY (my tough American history professor in school used to say"those who do'nt study history are condemned to repeat it"!) She could have at leas said something sensible, like DRED SCOTT, but Noooooo. She had to prove to the world how empty of required school-learning her head is. How can she be VP, and not know American History?!
I was invited to some sort of "American Values" gathering in the small town where I live. People who attend those are the ones driving Dodge Ram trucks with little stuffed animals everywhere, driving really slow in the fast lane with US flags sticking out of each window. I right away remembered that I don't live in a trailer park, haven't been to church since my grandpa died, and I have functional male genitalia greeting me with a stiff urge every morning since I was 5. Tea Party? NOT for me!
I'm 22 with a high school diploma. I can talk to you about Supreme Court decisions which are relevent to our lives. BigDTiny, it's really not asking too much to think that the VP should know at least one other decision besides Roe v. Wade. This is terrifying!
She is sooooo well coached its absolutely amazing. Biden gave a very well educated answer. Couric-> "what other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?" Palin's answer revolved around her thought process that went like this. (Gee, she just asked a question that I don't know the answer to so I should do what my coaches told me to do and that is Ramble, Ramble, Ramble, while avoiding the answer.) People are just simply dumb, you can tell in her voice, her stammering that she doesnt know
Also, note how when she is asked "What other supreme court decisions do you disagree with?" she responds with "In the GREAT history of America there will be decisions that are not supported in complete unison..." she doesn't bring up a single other supreme court decision then what they had already been talking about (Roe V Wade). She doesn't know about any of them. She just isn't booksmart. It should be mandatory to graduate from some kind of law school to be anywhere in the White House.
The simple fact that if she had just said "Not of the top of my head" would have been acceptable instead of rambling on and attempting to patronize (as she ALWAYS does) and sneek around answering the damn question which was incedental to begin with. Thinking about the incompetency to just respond truthfully to the simplest of questions, then that person, theoretically being in a position to govern a super-power of the world, is indeed a scary thought... Fortunatly we can prevent that...
This is excruciating to watch. I feel sorry for her. She's out of touch with most of the issues our country faces. I live in a small town in northern california with 11000 population, and I can tell you a mayor is in no way qualified to be a VP. She ought to withdraw from this campaign. She's a joke and an insult to most American women.
She just has no clue...it's paintful to see her struggle through this questions... How sad that some in this country think that someone like her is ready to be VP or even President.
the more she goes on when its clear she has no idea just makes it worse. I truly believe she thinks she's getting away with it not knowing... which scares me.
I am not a Democrat or a Republican but i am a Iraq Veteran. When i was in Iraq the first time we were patrolling the streets of Anbar on a Humvee made of fiberglass. This man, JOE BIDEN went against his party and introduced the senate and voted to have a supplemental fund to fund the MRAP vehicles. He went against his party to do what is right. While everyone was playing the blame game and forgetting those who were actually there.He has gained my respect and vote. Semper Fi Marine Vet OIF II
Gibson and Couric's sessions with Sarah Palin remind me of conducting a job interview with someone who has obviously padded their resume': "Coaxial winding machines? Yeah, yeah I know how to run one of them things. We used to have one out in the back of the Wendy's where I worked..."
Palin sat there talking about States Rights verses the Government yet she couldn’t come up with ONE SCOTUS decision that she Sydney agree with. Did anyone ever come straight out and pointedly ask Senator McCain and Republicans why’d they choose Palin?
OMG!! I'm embarrassed FOR Palin! Couric nailed her on many occasions. It's becoming all too clear that as long as Palin knows what questions will be asked of her, she'll do great, but when asked about things outside of her job/duties as governor of Alaska, she's a disaster.
I'm enjoying the lack of people running to the defense of Plain.. If this ticket wins control of the executive branch of our government (among other things thank you Cheney), our legacy as a nation is truly ruined.
Right! Notice how the right is saying the govt shouldn't interfer with private health care choices, but if one's choice is for an abortion, they want to limit PRIVATE insurance companies from providing coverage (even though no federal dollars are spent to cover the abortion!!).
"Ok, so at 2:20 or so, she says she's a federalist in that she believes states should decide abortion rights, not the federal government. Need I continue or does that confuse some of you? " Thank you for bringing that up, that is the opposite of what federalists say. Not to mention that the Federalist party has not existed for 150 years.
Im not american but i beg all americans to please vote for anyone else besides McCain/Palin!!! it would make me sad to see them in power of your country!
As work/study in college, my daughter grades papers for a Physics 101 class. She gets bs like this all the time, people who don't know but who try to impress the grader with stuff they do know, using "big" words and whatnot. That's just sad though, that a VP contender would be like that, when Biden was so intelligent in his answer. I just wanted to slap Palin and yell "Dred Scott! At least tell me you disagreed with the Dred Scott Decision!"
she danced around the question. she said that she disagreed with other supreme court rulings, but she couldn't give an example of one. Courics question was is there any other ruling she didn't support, and then she asked palin to give an example and palin couldn't. she did this with a lot of other questions in other interviews, like the Bush Doctrine question.
Remember republicans...YOU wanted Palin as VP, it was extremely painful to watch. She has no idea on the policies issued to her...worse still hints was given to her for answers yet she dropped the ball on that!.
i think she will answer questions like that which she has no clue about,by straying from the actual question. i have a feeling palin is going to shame herself when she debates
It's not the fact that she can't name a decision that bothers me, it's the complete lack of consistancy in her belief. She's a federalist, but she would likely support federal legislation to limit abortion, and she won't say what criminal actions are appropriate for a woman seeking an abortion in anti-choice states or doctors performing them. "I would choose life" is not a policy statement, it's a personal one. It concerns me that she doesn't seem to know the difference.
EPIC FAIL: "Well, let's see. There's, of course, in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are, those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ...." Palin is the gift that keeps on spewing.
"You have to admit the question was a softball to Biden." I "have to admit" that? Whence the obligation? Sarah Palin knows nothing but a few buzzwords about the Supreme Court and its decisions; Joe Biden both knows the Court, can explain more than one of its decisions, and he's able to articulate why he believes the Court got it wrong in a case that he regarding as especially significant. What you're seeing is the difference between knowledge (Biden) and ignorance (Palin).
@RebelGuy95 I agree with everything you replied - but again, a majority of the Supreme Court simply made up the 'right to privacy' in Griswold, which then served as the 'federal right' relied on in Roe. I'm strongly pro-choice, but to say abortion is a 'Constitutional' right is a vast stretch. Stare Decisis now requires adherence to Roe, but if it were a matter of first impression, I would've said States unquestionably have the right to prohibit abortion, if the PEOPLE of that state so choose.
This preview of tomorrow's debate has me pumped(for hilarity) and deeply saddened(for stupidity) But mad props to Biden he knows his stuff! Not only going through the stages of the RvW outcome but even referencing the 4th Amendment-- which I'm sure Palin has no idea what it is either. Palin please step down for the good of the country!
Please, USA, please vote properly... This Palin is scaring the shit out of us rest of the world. I mean, are your really going to have her run the presidential campain? My aunt would do a better job and she has no idea what a federation is. LOOK AT HOW SHE AVOIDS ANSWERING QUESTIONS, WTF!!!
Couric: "What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?"
Palin: "Mmm... you know--all of them."
😂
I'm surprised that Palin didn't respond with: "Roverweight? What's that?"
joe biden:100. palin: -5. The difference in intelligence is huge!
uuge
We sure dodged a bullet there.
Dodged a bullet and walked straight into the path of a train 8 years later.
@@honest_bishop5905 Palin walked 🚶♀️ so Trump could run 🏃♂️ 🥴🤷🏿😩

Obviously, I was being sarcastic when I asked. Maybe it's you who's the real "dumbass" here for not noticing THAT.
TheDrummerDude17 Bullshit. I don't believe you.
Nah of course not. Can't let anyone get away with their entitled opinions here. It seems UA-cam is excluded from the first amendment.
Once she got past the states right script she had been giving it Was over!
Amazing -

To be honest, I think she is extremely ignorant but she seems smart I think. The way she manages to pretend she knows the answers with a straight face is quite remarkable lol
I can understand your point. Please go watch the movie Game Change. You realize how DUMB she is!
citygirl81 Compared to them, she is.
Biden's eloquent and rational answer only further diminishes Palin's terrible respones, I love it!
This interview is proof that Palin was not a victim of liberal media. Katie asked Biden the same question, and guess what, he actually answered it (pretty straightforward and passionately, too!)
Thank you for posting this, tpmtv.
Such a difference in the answers. Difference between someone thinking and someone repeating catch phrases.
Alaska--thank you for giving us Sarah Palin. Now please do us all a big favor and take her back.
The fact that she will be potentially leading the free world with no knowledge of basic high-school level questions that are important to our country is frightening. She is one 72 year-old's heartbeat from picking our Supreme Court Justices and leading our country.
I like pants. I wonder if Sarah Palin likes pants?

Great contrast there: competence (Biden) vs. incompetence (Palin).
"... as vice-president- would be in a position of changing those things- but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today." riiiiiight!

Stunning. Unbelievable. John McCain must wake up screaming on a regular basis.
thanks for putting this comparison of asking the same question to both vp candidates into one video.

Hopefully one day soon......we will NO longer have to hear her speak!!!!!
"regarding"
Should have been "regarded."
Oh, my God! I'm not even an American and this terrifies me. This woman is embarrassing.
Also, note how when she is asked "What other supreme court decisions do you disagree with?" she responds with "In the GREAT history of America there will be decisions that are not supported in complete unison..." she doesn't bring up a single other supreme court decision then what they had already been talking about (Roe V Wade). She doesn't know about any of them. She just isn't booksmart. It should be mandatory to graduate from some kind of law school to be anywhere in the White House.
Wow. The contrast is frightening.
As an outsider, seeing Bush voted in for TWO terms was tragic enough, but Palin up for VP? This is embarassing.
Palin: "The federal government shouldn't mandate that law, it should be up to the states, im a federalist"
My god😂😂
The simple fact that if she had just said "Not of the top of my head" would have been acceptable instead of rambling on and attempting to patronize (as she ALWAYS does) and sneek around answering the damn question which was incedental to begin with.

Fortunatly we can prevent that...
thank you imlove this posting
THIS IS SCARY!!!
Wow... wow...
I had to watch this clip 4 times to see If Sarah Palin actually said anything. Good luck USA!
This is excruciating to watch. I feel sorry for her. She's out of touch with most of the issues our country faces. I live in a small town in northern california with 11000 population, and I can tell you a mayor is in no way qualified to be a VP. She ought to withdraw from this campaign.

She just has no clue...it's paintful to see her struggle through this questions... How sad that some in this country think that someone like her is ready to be VP or even President.
I feel like I want to cry...for her.
This was hilarious. I had to stop it towards the end I was cringeing so much.
President Palin! Such a scary thought..Total Embarrasment for Americans
the more she goes on when its clear she has no idea just makes it worse. I truly believe she thinks she's getting away with it not knowing... which scares me.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW She doesn't have a clue!
Gotcha. How unfair asking the exact same questions to both candidates.
Oh my God, I can't wait for the debate tonight.
That's a very good point.

She looks like she was about to cry at the end.
Wow. Biden was amazing, perfect points, no stops, and no growls!
The best part of this interview is that Joe Biden was asked the same questions and he answered them expertly. NOT a "gotcha" moment.
Im not american but i beg all americans to please vote for anyone else besides McCain/Palin!!! it would make me sad to see them in power of your country!

She's so brilliant that she is coining new words already. Much like Bush.
Can you imagine what the rest of the world thinks when listening to Sarah Palin? So embarrassing!
And what's worse than a Palin?
A Trump.
Trump is much smarter.
she danced around the question. she said that she disagreed with other supreme court rulings, but she couldn't give an example of one. Courics question was is there any other ruling she didn't support, and then she asked palin to give an example and palin couldn't. she did this with a lot of other questions in other interviews, like the Bush Doctrine question.
I agree she is extremely unprepared to be VP never mind leader of the free world!!! May God help us!!!
Remember republicans...YOU wanted Palin as VP, it was extremely painful to watch. She has no idea on the policies issued to her...worse still hints was given to her for answers yet she dropped the ball on that!.
Coffee just came out of my nose! LOL
No she didn't answer it. She was asked if there was another decision she disagreed with. She didn't name a case, nor did she say, "No I can't."
I'm not usually a fan of humiliation comedy, but this is just gold.
how the heck did she become a governer?!
no, how the heck did she graduate high school?
i can't belive she couldn't even name one case.
When Couric asked her that last question in her head she was like "oh shit shoulda put that magazine down and researched instead"
i think she will answer questions like that which she has no clue about,by straying from the actual question.
i have a feeling palin is going to shame herself when she debates
Wait...it's such a huge issue that the federal branch shouldn't touch it but it must be ok for the individual states to decide.....
ffs
Apparently not because she could have mentioned one she agreed with
Wow. You can make a pun! You're my hero!
It's not the fact that she can't name a decision that bothers me, it's the complete lack of consistancy in her belief.
She's a federalist, but she would likely support federal legislation to limit abortion, and she won't say what criminal actions are appropriate for a woman seeking an abortion in anti-choice states or doctors performing them. "I would choose life" is not a policy statement, it's a personal one. It concerns me that she doesn't seem to know the difference.

Palin is the gift that keeps on spewing.
the laugh out loud aspect is the moose in the headlights grin accompanied by the meaningless verbal padding that a bad preacher would be ashamed of.
How do you expect Caibou Barbie to name a Supreme court case when she can't even name one newspaper she's ever read?
Dominated...
She just looked so clueless. I don't think she's informed enough or ready to handle being VP.
Oh, I see. Thanks, I did not know that there were modern Federalists.
What is Palin talking about? After seeing this the result of the debate later tonight should be pretty entertaining.
Katalyzt
She could have more effectively answered that question with a collage of leaves and macaroni.
"You have to admit the question was a softball to Biden."
I "have to admit" that? Whence the obligation? Sarah Palin knows nothing but a few buzzwords about the Supreme Court and its decisions; Joe Biden both knows the Court, can explain more than one of its decisions, and he's able to articulate why he believes the Court got it wrong in a case that he regarding as especially significant. What you're seeing is the difference between knowledge (Biden) and ignorance (Palin).
Katie: so yeah, Sarah, the question, again: Can you name any case other than Roe vs. Wade?
sarah: um....
True, women do like Joe Biden, including republican women.
@RebelGuy95 I agree with everything you replied - but again, a majority of the Supreme Court simply made up the 'right to privacy' in Griswold, which then served as the 'federal right' relied on in Roe.

Palin please step down for the good of the country!
the debate should make for a great drinking game--take a drink every time Palin works the word "maverick" into her answers.
