Palin says Obama is "without the experience" to "get policy through" -- "it's a bit over his head"

[The Wielding Truth]

1. Isn't she "special".

[gateley]

2. Can't watch it now - is she referring to HCR, or just policy in general? She is

beyond belief.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Without experience?

Just look who's talking!

:wtf:

Unbelievable.

[bluestateguy]

4. How much longer can they play that "inexperienced" card?

How long is the shelf life?

I remember on the West Wing the Secretary of Defense (at least I think that's who it was) constantly brought up President Bartlett's inexperience during his first term. Finally one day early in Bartlett's second term, the Secretary started harping on how "this president has never led an army", which then prompted Leo McGarry (the Chief of Staff) to say tersely, "he's led one for four and a half years now".

[davidpdx]

24. I believe you are correct, it was the SoD

And Leo's comeback is just stellar, but of course so was his character. RIP John Spencer.

Couldn't find the episode number, but here is my favorite quote:

"This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, 'Hey you. Can you help me out?' The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, 'Father, I'm down in this hole can you help me out?' The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by, 'Hey, Joe, it's me can you help me out?' And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, 'Are you stupid? Now we're both down here.' The friend says, 'Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.' "

Season 2 Episode 10

:rofl:

[goclark]

46. Bingo! nt

[Iris]

6. She's so smart!

:sarcasm:

[ericinne]

7. Well Sarah IS the expert ya know.

She knows a person with the "right stuff" would follow her example and just quit. He's not quitting.. thus he is "in over his head". :sarcasm:

[Phx_Dem]

8. Thank you Sarah.

For constantly reminding people how fucking ignorant you are.

:rofl: :rofl:

[babylonsister]

10. The gift that keeps on giving! nt

[Cha]

9. Says palin as she's

gurgling under the polluted waters.

[Zynx]

11. Good Christ that's a fucking stupid thing to say.

[polly7]

12. LOL Sorry ..... but thanks for the first laugh all night.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[beac]

13. No fair, Sarah!

I'm sure other people would like to win the "Most Idiotic Twit of the Week" award, but OH NO--- you gotta just keep hoggin' it for yourself!

[BrklynLiberal]

14. The barracuda puts her foot in her mouth yet again.......

[Thrill]

15. Shes a fool. Obama has been President for over a yr

and there is a long list of what he's done in that short amount of time

[d_r]

16. oh dear God

[zulchzulu]

17. Sarah, did you know that the word dumbshit rhymes with quit?

Put the two words together and it's you! Dumbshit quit!

Wow...

:crazy:

[liberalmuse]

18. One day all her karma is going to kick her right in the c**ch.

I wonder when America is going to pass this turd, but am now thinking that nothing short of a high colonic mixed with good dose of Pyrantel is going to get rid of this bitch.

[hisownpetard]

21. c**ch?

[boppers]

31. 'oo', I presume.

As in O.O

[Dappleganger]

52. Yeah, those conch shells really hurt. nt

[SeattleGirl]

19. Well, Sarah DOES know a thing or two about things being

"a bit over" one's head. :rofl:

[treestar]

20. Thanks for the insight Sarah

Is that why you quit? Governor over your head?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[polichick]

22. LOL - reading a newspaper is a bit over her head. nt

[Monk06]

23. She's aspiring to an Orly Taitz level of stupid. Considering that virtually every english utterance

is way over her head.

[tammywammy]

25. She fit all that on her hand?

[Hekate]

26. Well bless her pointy little head

Lordy, what a piece of work that woman is.

Hekate

[denimgirly]

27. That alone makes me want the bill to pass...

i cant wait!

[shotten99]

28. Reality and Palin go together like bricks and cheese.

[saltpoint]

29. Palin's always at the ready with a snotty remark generally and about Obama

especially.

Her cheap shot about "community organizers" at the Pukes' shindig in St. Paul being one of the most memorable, and that from a woman about to quit her public service position before the end of her first term.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

34. That was very ugly IMHO

I didn't like her because she is a Repub and seemed unqualified for the position of VPOTUS but that remark really (and unnecessarily) shat all over people who do good (and important) work for communities all over the country (indeed, the world). We've always known, of course, that the Republican Party really doesn't care about people and groups like ACORN but it was sickening to hear it expressed so forcefully (and proudly) at their national convention. With rhetoric like that and friends like the teabaggers, I'm amazed that they're actually surprised that their party isn't able to attract many minorities- and why their long-term prospects for political power ultimately seem quite bleak (not that I'm complaining mind you ;-)).

[saltpoint]

35. That is the kind of talk I like to hear.

IMO your assessment is right-on.

When Palin was on stage delivering her permafrost snark, the convention delegates were stomping their feet and hooting with pleasure. That was pretty scary, too. When the line blurs between 'Republican delegate' and 'secessionist kook,' the GOP is in trouble.

And I'll join you in not complaining about that! :hi:

[cilla4progress]

43. I will never forget -

it was the feeling like you just had someone puke all over you. We came off the headiness and inspired high-mindedness of Obama's nomination, to be brought low into the manure pile, with her puking all over the beautiful, genuine values expressed in Obama's candidacy - esp. the shots of generations-old African-American men and women, and others who've worked for civil rights and human dignity, and yes, Glen Beck, social justice, all their years - with tears streaming down their faces, to her brand of snark. It was a "hair standing up on the back of my neck" moment for me, that I get when I'm in intuited danger; my reptilian brain kicks in to let me know I'm in a fight for my survival in that moment! It was very visceral for me, and terrifying!

[saltpoint]

51. I hear ya loud and clear. It was every bit as offensive and excruciating as

you say it was, and I can still see the smirk on her face as she said it.

A truly guttersnipe moment in Republican politics, and that's saying something.

[tanyev]

30. He just doesn't know how to wink and flirt and smirk the way you do, does he?

STFU, Sarah.

[bulloney]

32. This, coming from someone who couldn't even hack a HALF-TERM as governor of Alaska.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

33. Rich

:eyes:

and which policies has she gotten through? :shrug: She never even finished her FIRST term in the governor's office in Alaska! She needs to stop offering her opinions on things that she has no experience with herself- which, unfortunately, we know she won't do but still.............:eyes:

She obviously must've been too busy promoting herself (yes, that's exactly what she's been doing since the last election and why she ultimately quit as governor IMHO) to notice the things Obama has seen through (and about to see through) but, then again, she, like all Repubs, isn't part of the reality-based community, so facts don't matter to her.

[Jennicut]

36. How does she know? She is a quitter and a failure.

[DeschutesRiver]

37. Seems like each of these freeper thugs, including Palin and Tea Partiers

are handling their defeat in different ways, but the result is the same. Each understands in their heart that they haven't just lost this battle, which happens to be about health care reform.

They have lost the entire war. It is over for them, and thus their ugly side is spewing ugly comments in the face of their imminent demise as a political force for the foreseeable future. I mean, look at Palin's comment - it is without a basis in reality. We are on the eve of passing the first step in a program to completely change how we deliver health care to our citizens. Something that others have tried and consistently failed at doing over the last so many decades.

And this is the moment when she chooses to say that Obama is the one who doesn't have the experience to get policy through? That is beyond stupid, it is completely false even with the truth right in front of her face.

I am in my 50s. I haven't heard people chant "N" at black congressman or anyone black like this since the 1960s - and they want me to believe that their cause is strictly about encroaching communism? Please.

What they realize, as do I, is that once health care reform passes, I won't see another republican in higher office for the rest of my days. It will take awhile to sort out and build momentum, but republicans will remain a relic from the dark past for decades and decades. That is good thing. And it is why they are acting so stupidly and feeling so threatened.

[cilla4progress]

44. Your lips to "God's" ears,

my friend!

[DeschutesRiver]

45. Even though this isn't the health care bill of my dreams, its passage will mean more

in terms of momentum building for a big change in societal order than I thought I'd see in my lifetime. It took me a long while to recognize what this means. It will be slow, but we headed in a new direction. You know, when I was young, the nasty things that today's repubs are saying from the sidelines were not only being said from positions of power, they were institutionalized in our laws and enforced also by societal pressure. Back when I was young, people with these kinds of attitudes called the shots - they ruled the world in which I grew up in and lived as a young adult.

And today? These people are so marginalized at this moment that all they can do is take potshots from their spectator seats. And that is what I've been waiting to see as a partial confirmation of where we are headed. Because nothing is certain other than change, I warn myself daily that we might swing back at some point in the future (or god forbid, some extremely unexpected outside influence/event could derail or postpone our progress in this regard). But I am now cautiously optimistic that it won't be for a very, very long time. While it will take time to cement this, and realize just how momentuous this moment is by virtue of seeing it solidify into real action which takes us in a different direction for our future, I have finally exhaled:)

:toast:

[olegramps]

38. She is just a two-bit racist whore hilly-billy.

[PopSixSquish]

39. How She Didn't Have an Aneurysm from the Cognitive Dissonance Going on in Her Brain

I'll never know...

[Sheepshank]

40. Her vapid grin,,.....

...her attempt at intellectual, razor sharp retorts are going right over her own head. Does she not realize how insanely irrelevant she makes herself look, in the political arena?

[sellitman]

41. I know it's sexist but....

Other than being less qualified, Sarah Palin is just a more photogenic George Wallace. With tits.

[bigdarryl]

42. BITCH please!!!!

[lunatica]

47. This from someone who mispells her crib notes on her hands

and who quit the difficult job of governor because she couldn't handle it. Is she speaking from personal experience?

[Fly by night]

48. Sarah needs to get back to trolling for tube steak at the Wasilla bowling alley, ...

... something she knows something about.

It is amazing that there are any Rethugligans left who don't know that Palin is a witless co-conspirator in the biggest punk-stunt ever pulled on their party.

[Cha]

49. Kick for ..in your disingenous face moose murderer.

[Arkana]

50. Do me a favor, Sarah, and cram a moose carcass in your mouthhole

so it stops dripping verbal diarrhea.

You have no idea what you're talking about, ever, on ANY subject.

[Jack Rabbit]

53. Sarah, sweetie . . .

. . . try reading a newspaper once in a while.

[SoxFan]

54. All of them?

[awoke_in_2003]

55. Oh no!!

Smacked down by Miss Iquitarod :)

[nini]

56. more of an achievement then ??

If he did this 'without experience' just imagine what he can do now that he has some. :evilgrin:

Her snark and lies are so 2008.. go away little girl.

[Phx_Dem]

57. Obama to Palin:

How you like me now . . .
