PALIN: Every American student needs to come through this area so that, especially this younger generation of Americans is, to be in a position of never forgetting what happened here and never repeating, never allowing a repeat of what happened here. I wish every American would come through here. I wish every world leader would come through here, and understand what it is that took place here and more importantly how America came together and united to commit to never allowing this to happen again. And just to hear and from and see these good New Yorkers who are rebuilding not just this are but helping to rebuild America has been very, very inspiring and encouraging. These are the good Americans who are committed to peace and security and its been an absolute honor getting to meet these folks today.

CNN: On the topic of never letting this happen again, do you agree with the way the Bush administration has handled the war on terrorism, is there anything you would do differently?

A: I agree with the Bush administration that we take the fight to them. We never again let them come onto our soil and try to destroy not only our democracy, but communities like the community of New York. Never again. So yes, I do agree with taking the fight to the terrorists and stopping them over there.

POLITICO: Do you think our presence in Iraq and afghan and our continued presence there is inflaming islamic extremists?

A: I think our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will lead to further security of our nation, again, because the mission is to take the fight over there. do not let them come over here and attempt again what they accomplished here, and that was some destruction. terrible destruction on that day. but since September 11, Americans uniting and rebuilding and committing to never letting that happen again.

POLITICO: Do you support the reelection bids of embattled Alaska Republicans, Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens?

A: Ted Stevens trial started a couple days ago. We’ll see where that goes.

POLITICO: Are you gong to vote for them?

[no answer.]

JERSEY JOURNAL: What do you think of bailout package before congress?

A: I don't support that until the provisions that Sen. McCain has offered are implemented in Paulson's proposals.

Did she answer 3 out 4? It seems on this question she didn't answer anything about inflaming Islamic extremists. Sounds more like something King George would say, exactly.

Peace

This is absolutely frightening. Hopefully the intelligent Americans outnumber the dumb ones and the country won't fall for this farce. What a fuckin' joke!

COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land-- boundary that we have with-- Canada. It-- it's funny that a comment like that was-- kind of made to-- cari-- I don't know, you know? Reporters--

COURIC: Mock?

PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our-- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia--

COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to-- to our state.

God....help....us. I'm shocked it isn't clear to EVERYONE that this woman is in no way experienced enough to be President. Holy crap.

I love the part where she says we need to take the fighting abroad and stop terrorists before they hit American soil. Last I checked Iraq wasn't a breeding ground for terrorism until AFTER we invaded their country.

Then perhaps you need to be checking more frequently...

Oh man...I'm almost embarrassed for her...ALMOST! This will mark one of the quickest fall's from grace to have ever taken place!

What a joke!

I can't even make fun of her for that video. I actually feel a bit sorry for her. She is in waaaaay over her head. I cannot believe that anyone could honestly feel that this poor woman is anywhere near being suitable to hold the title of the VP.

Holy shit.

This may well be the new standard for "disasterous".

Did they get more than the 29 seconds they got when they covered her first foreign policy visit?

Unfortunately, all the retards who vote for the GOP only watch Fox News, so all they got to see was the softball interview that Sean Hannity gave her.

The interview with Couric is scary, Palin sounds like a REALLY bad 7th grade teacher, but it won't change anything with the GOP sheep.

Palin's selection was announced on Aug 29. It hasn't even been a full month yet.

I don't feel bad for her at all.


Drown, motherfucker, drown.

And not one response on that CNN blog site had someone defending her! Must be over 200 responses, too! That goes to show how bad it really is with this woman. And McCain's slogan is "Country First"???? My wife has already agreed that we'd move to Vancouver if these folks get elected.

I'm really glad Katie Couric asked about Palin's statment about neversecond guessing Israel ... because I thought that ws a bull shit statement when she said that to Charlie Gibson ... she comepletely sputters through that question here ... (Israel portion ... 8:45 mark)

Her attitude with that answer pissed me off. I got a passport in 2000 (at 26 years old), and my ex-gf and myself paid our own ways to go to Europe for a few weeks. I've gotten a few other stamps since then paying for travel.

I guess I lived a privileged life, you know living on my own with a crappy $20k a year job and saving up money to go to Europe then.

Yeah, her response properly pissed me off. It's some sort of redneck snobbery.

When I heard this my jaw literally hit the floor.

We want to put this one step away from the Presidency?
