Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Former Republican Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, a prominent supporter of John McCain, gave a remarkably bleak assessment of Sarah Palin's capacity to handle the presidency should such a scenario arise: "I can't say that she would be a genius in the job. ... And I devoutly hope that it would never be tested."

Eagleburger is a Marxist.


That eagle just shit a big old burger on Failin Palin.

But But But I said She was impressive and had executive experience the likes of which neither John McCain Barack Obama nor Joe Biden had. I wouldn't be talking out of My ass now would I?? I mean She is impressive to the nth degree.

Signed
You Know who.

My favorite part - "Give her some time in the office and I think the answer would be, she will be [pause] adequate. I can't say that she would be a genius in the job. But I think she would be enough to get us through..."

Huzzah for adequacy!

Yeah they tried to make a silk purse out of a mooses ear. It didn't work it both smelt bad and fell apart when used. They tried making a mooseburger out of a bolonge sandwich and all they got out of the deal is some rotten gasious indigestion.

Huzzah for adequacy!

After 8 years of Dubya, it would be a step in the right direction.

Sorry, John-you blew it:
All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major factor influencing their vote for president, and those voters broadly favor Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee.

And in a possible indication that the choice of Ms. Palin has hurt Mr. McCain's image, voters said they had much more confidence in Mr. Obama to pick qualified people for his administration than they did in Mr. McCain.

I thought Alaskans loved eagleburgers.

2 reasons you should never try to teach a pig to sing;

1) it wastes your time,

2) it annoys the hell out of the pig.

I hope she doesn't win if only because it'll put an end to old recycled pig jokes ala Larry and Lip.

She's melting faster than an Alaskan snowman in the hot sun.

is anybody REALLY ready? even bill said there's no way anybody could be.

Yet another of Saint Reagan's boys pisses in Mcadaver's coffee-

Interviewed on MSNBC today, former Reagan chief of staff Ken Duberstein criticized Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for choosing Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate:

"I think it has very much undermined the whole question of John McCain's judgment. You know what most Americans I think realized is that you don't offer a job, let alone the vice presidency, to a person after one job interview. Even at McDonald's, you're interviewed three times before you get a job."

On whether Palin is ready to be president "in an emergency on day one," Duberstein noted, "People have resoundedly said don't think so.'"

At least she will take an interview, which is more than can be said for Biden. What a big baby, he gets some tough questions and runs away and goes into hidding. Wa, Wa, Wa...

Palin is only doing them so she can, as she said, continue to give Tina Fey material. She is loving the Fey thing more than anyone.

Palin is a "brilliant" choice.

I am "impressed" with Palin.

Hahahaha. Biden has done over 170 interviews.

Palin has yet to do a single news conference or appear on a single Sunday news show.

But the bitch sure can wink.

As of 10/25

"Biden completed his 170th interview Friday night in the two months since becoming a vice presidential candidate, according to a tally by his staff. He's been a constant McCain critic and has been on television at critical moments, such as going on all the networks after every presidential debate while Palin was declining to do interviews."


Null, Biden may have done 170 interviews but not lately.

Check this from CBS News
"In the past two days alone, Palin has answered questions from her national press corps on three separate occasions. On Saturday, she held another plane availability, and on Sunday, she offered an impromptu press conference on the tarmac upon landing in Colorado Springs. A few minutes later, she answered even more questions from reporters during an off-the-record stop at a local ice cream shop.

By contrast, Biden hasn't held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn't taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September. John McCainwho spent most of the primary season holding what seemed like one, never-ending media availabilityhasn't done one since Sept. 23.

Though she often turns the "mainstream media" into a punching bag on the stump, Palin clearly enjoys interacting with reporters. She seems to relish the opportunity to demonstrate that her breadth of knowledge far exceeds what she offered to CBS News' Katie Couric in a series of interviews that were marked by vague, often convoluted answers to straightforward questions.

After her plane in Colorado Springs, Palin answered no less than 14 questions from the media. It took traveling press secretary Tracey Schmitt three attempts finally to get the governor to move along."
CBS News

or this from Oct 22

"It might be surprising to some to learn that Sarah Palin is now talking to her national press corps more often than Joe Biden.

While the once silent Palin has taken questions from reporters that travel with her three times in the last week, Biden has not offered the same type of access to reporters who cover his every move on the campaign trail in almost two months."
CBS News

Nice try, Sawdust. Can we expect to see her on this Sunday's talk shows?

In other words, except to point out some vague comparison between interviews and Sunday talk shows, you have no answer.

is anybody REALLY ready? even bill said there's no way anybody could be

YEAH!

Except I don't think Bill had realized that Palin had yet to master the difficult art of formulating grammatically correct and complete sentences when he made those statements.

I just love how the government school attackers don't seem to mind and are eager to excuse Palins Government school ignorance!

Palin is proof positive it aint the school ----- it's the idiot attending!

"In other words, except to point out some vague comparison between interviews and Sunday talk shows, you have no answer."

Nothing needed to be answered. The fact that she's launched her 2012 campaign and started to talk a little more to the press in the last 2 weeks means jack shit. When they were still in the running, she was a no show.


I hope she doesn't win if only because it'll put an end to old recycled pig jokes ala Larry and Lip.

Hey the 'teaching a pig how to sing' saying is way older than Palins ruined aspirations.


Eagleburger is a Marxist.

Actually, he's a McCain supporter.

Most of the undecided voters see Obama just as "not ready" as Palin.

Come on, have you listened to Biden? He is not at all qualified to be president. What happens when "Joe is Joe" and offends the head of another country?

Palin is far more qualified to be president than Biden.

"Palin is far more qualified to be president than Biden."

In which the Great Unwashed stand on their heads and again insist black is white and night is day. But today I ran across several thinking folks who think the uglies will still find a way to steal it for Sarah and pal. One of the least washed here has been trying to rib me about Molotov cocktails, but honestly - if the uglies manage to thwart the popular will once more, ARE Molotov cocktails justified? And where do we start? herm

They are STILL trying their level best to make a silk purse out of a mooses ear. I swear the desperation is mighty thick.

Larry

You guys have bought the line the media... Cripe think for yourself.

Biden wanted to split Iraq into three countries, do you believe that is a good idea?

Biden does not know when to shut up. Didn't he just the other day say that they would not raise taxes on people with incomes under $150,000. Which is it? $250,000, $200,000, $150,000... You want someone who cannot get something as simple as that right, a heartbeat away from the presidency?

What about him saying that someone to generate something to test Obama? You want someone who thinks like that and *then* says it representing our country around the world?

Look at the damage he has done to the Obama campaign, can you imagine what damage he will do to our country?

Bush has done enough, this guy will do even more.

Has he ever run a government? Palin has.

I believe that Palin is more qualified.

Sawdust is STILL trying to make a silk purse out of a mooses ear. Let's face facts many of the Great Presidents didn't have what the Right is clamouring about Executive Experience. Nor had they ran a Government. Let's get down to brass tacks. The Right has a loser with McCain/Palin McCain for hiring Palin and Palin for Her lack luster credentials. Obama has been at it for going on 12 Years and Biden for 33 I believe. Who has the more time in?? Obama/Biden of course. So please do Yourself a favour sawdust. QUIT trying to make a silk purse out of a mooses ear.

Larry

Oh and what damage has Biden done to Obama's campaign. They are kicking ass and taking names. McCain/Palin are stuck in a rut and just spinning their wheels. Give it up Sawdust they lost.

Admits...foot in mouth.

So Larry, you believe it would be a good idea to split Iraq into three countries?

How about the taxes, what level do you believe they will come down to? $250,000, $200,000, $150,000 or $42,000?

How about Lebanon, aren't you glad we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon?

What country do you think will test Obama? What will they do?

Larry, how old are you? Do you remember when FDR came on the TV when the stock market crashed?

Aren't you glad that Obama and Biden will not support Clean Coal? Funny that would come from someone who said "I am a hard coal miner".

Larry, do you have any ailments? After Biden told the guy in the wheelchair to stand up. Maybe Benny Hind is nervous that Biden is cutting in on his territory.

And aren't you glad that when he was shot at 7 times while in Iraq that he made it out safely?

Maybe he was right... Obama should have picked Hillary.

For me, I am OK with Palin

My point is that Biden is a loose cannon and I believe that he would not be a good vice president and certainly not a good president.

We agree to disagree... No problem here.


Reference...

Biden said in a CNN/YouTube debate on July 23, 2007, that he was shot at seven times inside Iraq's Green Zone.

Two weeks later, however, he amended his story, telling The Hill newspaper, "I was near where a shot landed." He said a shot landed outside the building in the Green Zone where he and another senator spent the night in December 2005. While they were shaving in the morning, the building shook.

"No one got up and ran from the room-it wasn't that kind of thing," Biden told the Hill. "It's not like I had someone holding a gun to my head."

TheHill

The best thing about Biden is that he's not Palin. That alone makes the difference. herm

election/


I am not ready for this? Both parties are lying! This country has the worst politics.

They need to bring back the pencil and paper trail voting machines. Finger print every voter.

Gawwwd I can hardly wait till Wednesday.

Charlie Brown for President.

What a piece of crap those videos are of so-called events when Obama was a child,

Shame on you who try to exploit them in the name of the party of Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, John Mitchell and Spiro Agnew. All of them are the real criminals.

Then there's the Bushes and Cheneys.


is anybody REALLY ready? even bill said there's no way anybody could be.

#12 | Posted by nanc at 2008-10-31 03:11 PM


don't worry butch. the bimbo ain't gonna sniff the whitehouse.

"is anybody REALLY ready? even bill said there's no way anybody could be,"

does NOT mean everybody is 'unready' to the same degree.

I have said this whole time that no one, and I mean no one is ready for the president position. Just too big and too many things to even begin to grasp until one gets there.

It take a year before any president actually begins to get relaxed and when it begins the hair goes gray and the face gets old.

Just the economy by itself is too much, let alone all the other stuff.

"Palins not ready?" Give me a break, she has more experience than FLOP EARS!

OZZIE-
I never "got" the "FLOP EARS" bit.

Can you clue me in?

BETELG: Have you never looked at those flopping ears on Obama's head.

Hey - someone tell the moderator he's late to the party with the news. Even CNN now reports that the Messiah's Aunt is an illegal - living off of the US taxpayer - not the kind of change we need!

Ozzie-
That's it? Ohhhhh! ROTFLMAO!

"the Mesiah's Aunt is an illegal."
MWMFATHEROF4
Ronald Reagan's aunt is an illegal? So what?

"the mesiah's aunt is an illegal" and she lives in a Boston Slum. With all the Slum Loads that FLOP EARS has helped why couldn't he help his auntee.

Ozzie- give up already. You're looking absolutely pathetic on this thread. Is it personal? Can you even say or type his actual name instead of 'flop ears' in caps? Like a physical appearance has anything to do with it. You don't hear the other side calling your guy 'cancer face' do you?

So if he helped his aunt, would you vote for him? You dont know the details of this story- how dare you judge another man and how he spends his money.

Do you know as a fact that the McCains- with their 100 million+ dollars, helps out every relative they might have who needs it?

On a somewhat different topic, do you judge McCain for being married to a legalized drug pusher who's company helps facilitate the deaths of several people every year? Or for having killed dozens if not hundreds or thousands of innocent civilians in their own soverign country? War is war but that one was bullshit and innocent civilians are innocent civilians. And the fact are the facts.

But Obama supposedly has an aunt who he's not giving a handout to. Why is this more of a test of a man's scruples than being responsible for multiple deaths?

"Biden wanted to split Iraq into three countries, do you believe that is a good idea?"

Well, yes. A great idea. Not only is Iraq three very separate groups of people, but dividing the country makes things easier for the CIA. Look at Yugoslavia, the old Soviet Union, any nation turned into three or more. It takes about one guy per meaningless entity to keep the American finger on the pulse, not a whole bureau as we have for places than can still "threaten" us. herm

TN INDEPENDENDENT: "Ozzie give up already". Listen you retarded liberal. For eight years I had to listen and read you ASSHOLE liberals call my President everything fron dumb to Hitler. I told you RETARDED LIBERAL ASSHOLES months ago that it was pay back time.

SO YOU CAN"'T TAKE IT? TUFF SHIT!

Also, non of my aunts live in a SLUM DUMP!

Sounds like you are the one who can't take it.

Your President earned his own criticism. Dont blame liberals! That's hilarious. Plenty of it comes from true conservatives. He and his crew have raped this country's resources and the constitution, and have probably committed international war crimes. The fact that they will probably get away with it should make you thankful for your 'hero' president.

How old are you Ozzie, if you dont mind me asking?
