Best 6:02 minutes I have seen regarding Sarah Palin since she was announced as VP choice, for anyone who did not see Real Time this last weekend. It was one of the best episodes I have seen in quite some time.

Could not agree more regarding selling her to the "stupid" people..

    Speaking as a liberal, I fucking hate Bill Maher and Jenane Garofolo (spelling, and maybe hate is a strong word). I think they're dreadfully unfunny. Nevertheless, it's hard to argue with some of the points they're making.

    I watch his show and don't laugh once during the monologue. Considering he's a comedian, I consider that kind of a bad sign for my enjoyment of him. He sometimes has good interviews on there, though.

    I'm in the same boat with Garofolo... I don't watch Maher all that much, but I really have to be in the right mood to enjoy his show.

    John Fund = Sad lying idiot...

    Sarah Palin = the movie Idiocracy meets real life.

    What's even more sad was I predicted the US was turning into the movie Idiocracy over a year ago, and I didn't think it would become reality this fast...

    I am glad you noticed that. He sat there that whole show spewing bullshit like, "I don't know what the Bush Doctrine is, either.", with that silly grin on his face. A true Republican operative. He really believes that Palin is ready for the VP seat. yeah, right!

    I mentioned on here last week that my 20 year old receptionist knew what the Bush Doctrine was.. she does not follow politics, she is more interested in who is winning Big Brother than who wins the presidential election.. and who knows it may have been on her high school senior year government final.. but still even she knew what it was.

    Someone who may be our next vice president should know these things.

    Thanks for posting that link. I don't watch Maher and wouldn't have been aware of the exchange. What is particulary scary to me is that someone who is a journalist from the Wall Street Journal could sit there, tongue-in-cheek and so blatantly lie.. But he's a Republican probably and they're are demonstrating like never before how adept at it they are.

    Aside from the "Bush Doctrine" faux paux, Palin had ignorant responses to just about everything else she was questioned on.

    But Maher, or whoever said it, got it right. The Repubs know that all they have to do is appeal to the dumb people, and there are a hell of a lot of them in this country. Those dumb people are also most likely the racists who won't vote for Obama just because he's black.

    So how do we argue with and convince the dumb people? We don't. Once again the Repubs have out strategized the Dems and we'll probably end up with those McPalin in the oval office for "Moron Part Deux".

    Palin's lack of knowledge of the Bush Doctrine could be all skillfully done as to separate herself from any George Bush Jr affiliation. Smart move if you think about it, a true maverick in the making.

    I'm watching the TiVoed episode right now. That John Fund guy is a real ashsole - pretending he doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is - and he writes for the WSJ?

    Yes, this was a good episode even though Bill Maher mostly creeps me out (he's just not as smart and witty as he thinks he is). Wait, he went to Cornell? Really?

    And yes yes yes, this election has turned into Idiocracy. Who could have imagined that?

    Oh come on.. you really cannot think this was a strategic move!

    If so.. it was a pretty dumb move.. because it left her looking like an unqualified idiot.

    That could have only been done if she actually knew what it was to begin with; since she didn't really know, there was no way to be skillfull and separate herself - she was completely caught off guard in an unscripted moment.
