A Paranoid Palin Prepared for Beck Interview by Googling NYC Landmarks

[HipChick]

I wondered why when she was being interviewed by Beck, she kept looking down...:wtf:

On his radio show today Glenn Beck revealed that Sarah Palin was so paranoid that he would embarrass her on the air that she spent her time prepping for the interview by Googling NYC landmarks and facts about the Statue of Liberty in case Beck quizzed her. Beck said, “She said, ‘I’m just preparing now.’ And I said, ‘What do you mean?’ And she held up her BlackBerry, and she said, ‘Oh I, I’m wondering why you have me here at the Statue of Liberty.’ And I said, ‘Cause it’s a symbol of trust.’ … And she said, ‘So you’re not going to ask me about the 25 windows?’ And I said, ‘The 25 windows? What are you talking about the 25 windows?’ She said, ‘The 25 windows, come on, don’t play with me. 25 windows, they stand for the different minerals.’ And I said, ‘You could be making that up right now, I have no idea. There are 25 minerals in the Statue of Liberty.”

He continued, “And she said, ‘So the seven points?’ And I said, ‘What points?’ She said, ‘The ones on her hand. You know the crown.’ … And I said, ‘No, we’re not going down that road.’ And she just looked at me like, ‘Um hm.’And I turned around and I walked out for a minute and I come back and she’s still Googling. Now she’s googling, now she’s googling Ellis Island. Her shields were so high.”
He blamed his own paranoia and Palin’s on being on television, which has led them to distrust Washington. Now if Beck would have said that being on television can makes it hard to trust people, he would have had a great point, but he said that being on television has made him distrust politicians and Washington, which is a bit silly to say the least.

To all the Palinites out there, this is your leader, a woman who is so paranoid that she can’t trust a man interviewing her on the same network that she is being paid to appear on. Fox News is paying her to be on their network, so there is no way that they would do anything to make her look bad. Beck’s story is a testament to her level of paranoia.

I that think Sarah should have spent a little less time Googling New York City landmarks, and more time studying the Founding Fathers, because nobody has ever been elected president based on the results of geography quiz.

1. Local talk radio hosts said the Founding Fathers question was a "gotcha" question...

And the callers, too.

They said Glenn Beck confounded her by asking softball questions, he set her up.

"You never hear other politicians asked questions like that."

:rofl:

2. I bet Wolf Blitzer could beat Sarah Palin on Jeopardy.

13. My dog Tweeps could beat Sarah Palin on Jeopardy.

And I don't even have a dog or know any person, dog, creature, or thing named Tweeps. But my imaginary dog could still score a zero on Jeopardy and beat Sarah.

3. Stupid like that can't be faked.

Failin is the real deal.

[liberalmuse]

4. I saw a clip of this on 'The Daily Show'...

Holy hell, Beck is the creepiest buffoon I've ever witnessed. Is he for fucking real? And Palin looked like she was desperately trying to find a single thought.

5. It's hard..when you dont have a brain..

[TicketyBoo]

8. They should remake the "Wizard of Oz"

with Limbaugh as the Tin Woodsman, Beck as the Cowardly Lion, and Palin as the Scarecrow.

[LuvNewcastle]

6. She knows just enough

to realize how ignorant she is.

[Zynx]

9. Actually, that takes quite a bit of knowledge.

I didn't realize how utterly ignorant I was on so many things until I was halfway done with my master's degree.

[Fozzledick]

7. It's easy to understand the personal friction between them

They're the top two contenders for most obnoxious asshole in America!

[HipChick]

10. .. when Beck asks a “gotcha question” that stumps Palin, you know she is a special kind of stupid...

[peekaloo]

11. Why not just sing the 'Green Acres' theme song. Lotsa NYC info in that.

:dunce:

12. heh FReepers turn on Beck

Here's the video of Beck on O'Reilly's show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZazEFk3lCk&feature=player_embedded


I thought Beck’s question was a Show Off question on Beck’s part

Maybe his ego is being threatened

Neither Beck nor O'Reilly did Sarah any favors in their reprise of the interview. Why did they have to dissect the interview, anyhow? They're just as fixated on her every mole and wart as others they scoff at.

When it comes to her, Palin can add these two giggly, juvenile hucksters to her list of those to be on her guard against.

As usual Beck opts for the most extreme possibility. The man sees conspiracys in his own shadow.

I didn’t like Beck’s “Bullcrap” comment when he asked Sarah who her favorite Founding Father was.

No wonder she’s “guarded”.... You’re asked a question and before you can fully answer it the pundits either try to answer for you or throw some other “crap” at you.

If you look at the video again you can see that the comment pissed her off as well.

Indeed. Beck is no different from O'Reilly - it's always about him and he's just as pathetic, in his own "warm and fuzzy" kinda way. No wonder the two of them hooked up to mint some coin off of the gullible mob. They are also jealous of Sarah's popularity, and I wouldn't put it past them to try and subtly sabotage her as a competitor at Fox. She should not trust these hangers-on to wash her car.

14. She was paranoid that Beck would embarrass her?

Yeah, he'd probably ask tougher questions than "What newspapers do you read?" :wtf:
