Sarah Palin will be so prepped and scripted on Fox that she will look intelligent!
They will have her so scripted and have producers give her the lines to say and she will not have to do any thinking for herself.

No way she will be asked questions that she has to answer off the cuff.

It will be a two year stint to make her look viable and smart.

I guarantee FOX told her this would be an "image building" two years.

And then she will run for president. And until a real debate or real press conference she can fake it.

36. Sarah wasn't exactly living at home and/or working while she was
"studying" for her degree, which is more often the case when that happens. She went to several party schools and had a good time. Those years set a trend for her. Her GPA was never stellar in any way, shape or form.
The woman is not serious, dedicated or conscientious in any way, except in her own self-promotion.
If she had returned to AK after the disastrous McCain campaign, stopped her petty and vindictive witch hunts against anyone she perceives is against her, listened to and encouraged those who wanted their public service and private experience to benefit AK and its citizens instead of the oil companies exclusively, and used the rest of her term to put her nose to the grindstone and actually govern the state as she was elected to do, one could perhaps make a case for her having some gravitas.
But she has by her own words and actions proven that she has none.

As a woman, I was and am frankly insulted that anyone (man or woman) could ever think her a serious candidate for any national office. IMO, McCain should be hung, drawn and quartered for foisting her on the public consciousness (even though with Lieberman as the alternative, I could almost see her as an improvement ... almost). Faux is only looking to its ratings and she'll likely give them some good ones for a time. It is certainly a match made in hell and I hope that is where everyone involved ends up.

37. I have no problem with what you say, My point was that
it is not unusual ofr many to go to several colleges to finally finish. It is an insult to those who have to go this course out of necessity to have to hear it all the time.

38. But those "many" are not smugly full of the belief that they have
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 06:54 PM by BlueMTexpat
been selected by God to eventually hold the highest office in the land.
That's why the subject comes up again and again with SP. As well it should. It shows that at one time she was a flighty bubblehead. Her track record since then shows that she has not changed.

41. I was of course making fun of Caribou Barbi, not being disrespectful of any
real people that worked hard to earn degrees. No matter how long it took them or how many schoold they went to.

But her audience won't notice.

4. I don't think you understand...
She's the HOST of the show. Unless they're going to script 44 minutes (plus commercials), she's going to look like an idiot talking about the issue of the day, and interviewing other newsmakers

And as far as her ability to read a teleprompter...

Leaving what my 87 year old Republican mother called her: "I think she's an airhead." (direct quote)

11. That's probably true, but after ~6 months of this image building she'll
become (even more) convinced that she really is smart and viable. At which point she will seize the reins, leave the script, and delicious guffaw-inducing wackiness will break out...

16. Until Palin opens her mouth UNSCRIPTED - Just as Bush constantly made a fool of himself
Edited on Mon Jan-11-10 11:29 PM by GreenTea
nearly every time he spoke his own unscripted thoughts...so will the bubble-headed liar Palin, she will also say ridiculous bullshit lies and look foolish and of course she'll blame others when her off-the wall lying statements become exposed as bullshit.

But Palin will be scripted by Faux with her bumper=sticker quotes, and Palin will simply agree & nodding in the afirmative with everyone on Faux news (O'Reilly, Hannity, etc...)

Still unscripted Palin be lost and will say many absolutely stupid things...However, I won't be watching Faux and waiting for her fuck ups though...I won't contribute to the bullshit ratings.

Just I couldn't care less what the evil little liar Karl Rove has to say on Faux.

22. She is a Harvard professor teaching kindergartners by hosting on Fox
The bar is set so low, she would only need to primp and grunt the whole time and she would be nominated for an Emmy for the fox viewership.

24. They will RARELY have her live - her every move and sylable will be planned and tightly
controlled unless they want real outrage, then they will have her reprise her campaign speeches.

They do well with Beck and O'Reilly, neither one a person of intelligence.

26. Fox will go crazy just preparing her. Live would never work and she may
need to be live sometimes. But, even if on tape or delay, it is still doubtful FOX can prevent her from taking over because, in my opinion, in Sarah's mind - she is "channeling" God, goodness and the American way and God and Sarah know best what is good for America and for Sarah. It's a circular argument that does not allow any contrary evidence to come in to change her mind. And, her supporters will support her no matter what. Cognitive dissonance lives.

28. I love it
Imagine Sarah being scripted and protected for 2 more years. Now, imagine her and Barack Obama in not one, but three debates. Imagine her in a setting that for the FIRST TIME IN HER POLITICAL CAREER, she would not be able to control. I can't wait for the '12 debates.

PLEASE O PLEASE RUN SARAH IN '12.

It's gonna be like an NBA player vs. a junior varsity bench warmer. Can't wait to see her get dunked on LOL

Those on the right who love her will tune in and those who think she's less than snail slime will tune in to watch the car wreck.

$$$ for both her and Fox.

In fact, I predict that in about 6 months she'll get so pissed off she can't do what she wants that she quits.
