You can watch the whole interview without blinking.

So...Mavericks reform Obama's unfair ruffled feather attacks. Got it.

 
Saborlas [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 04:21:07 PM  
Palin: 1+1=4! I knowz da energee! I tell lies to entertain myself!

Hannity: Oh you're SO AWESOME!

repeat ad nauseum, then fill the remaining 90% of the interview with talking points

 
thomps [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 04:23:46 PM  
that woman can't be in the public light for 4-8 years if only for the fact that her accent makes me want to choke a puppy.

 
patrick767 [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 04:52:53 PM  
So I was right before the interview. The questions would all be along the lines of, "Governor Palin, how do you manage to be so awesome?!"

"So, George W. Bush... great President, or greatest President?"

And that is much more important than the VP being horrifically unqualified and being propped up by a propgandistic right wing machine. Yes, let's focus on whether or not a political opinion show host is full of himself.

Yes, that Southern accent of Obama is so much more natural and definitely not an affectation.

That's certainly true, but it doesn't discredit him.

Do his 'S's sound like they're clipping the mic?

If, elected, she better not give any damn speeches.

Olbermann talking about Hannity interviewing a Republican? I'm not sure I want to see the man's head explode.


/Olbermann is a hack
//would find a negative about a Republican curing caner
///would find something positive to say about a Democrat eating babies

 
kevinatilusa 2008-09-19 07:38:35 PM  
After spending a primary season watching people completely misrepresent the remarks of Obama on race, as well as those of Reverend Wright, by the tactic of condensing them down to 64 seconds or less, I can't really get too interested in seeing Olbermann do the same.

We get it. You don't like Olbermann. Howzabout this woman running for VP? Got any reason we should support her ticket?

No?

I thought so.

Hannity: Tell me about being a reformer, you wonderful Hockey mom, you. Does it make you a Maverick or the most Maverick?
Palin: I ruffled some feathers with my reforms. Reform reform lipstick maverick!

Her overuse of a few talking points reminds me of those terrorists in the Team America: World Police movie whose entire language consisted of "Derka derka derka, Mohammed jihad." (Yes, I know that was satirizing something entirely different...)

 
AngryTeacher 2008-09-19 08:01:28 PM  
You guys don't get it.... Palin would be qualified if Olbermann would quit pointing out her weaknesses.

 
rppp01a 2008-09-19 08:02:01 PM  
So O'reilly tells Obama that Hannity is just a commentator, and nothing more. In giving him this interview, he's been given the role of 'reporter' and 'interviewer'.

There is a reason no one outside of Foxnews cares about this interview. It is just an Op/Ed piece.

 
WillyShwonka 2008-09-19 08:03:35 PM  
This woman is retarded. Let me translate that into words Palin can understand: Cronyism Cronyism Ruffle Feathers Cronyism.

//That is all.

 
NYZooMan 2008-09-19 08:06:28 PM  
Just flip between Olbermann and O'Reilly during this part of the campaign to see which is the TRUE BLINDINGLY BIASED ASSHOLE.

 
bobbette [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 08:07:34 PM  
By the way, I find Olbermann smarmy and obnoxious, but he serves up a popular format. The right has Bill-o and Rush, the left has Olbermann. The in-your-face style appeals to watchers, or he wouldn't have a show.

You can't blame anyone but the viewers who make these kinds of ego-driven talking-point wanks a viable commercial operation on both sides of the R/D divide. And you can't object to one and not to its left/right-wing counterpart. They feed off each other.

 
jvl 2008-09-19 08:08:03 PM  
Why would anyone care what Olbermann thinks? He's a polemicist whose specialty is preaching to the choir just like Limbaugh, O'Really, and Hannity, but without the drugs and falafel.

/ Oh, wait.

O'Reilly

/man that was easy.

//to be fair, they both are. But O'Reilly is such a fark-tard in general ("cut his mic!") that he wins by default
///way to discount the message and shoot the messenger though.

The GOP is going to win this election based on turnout.

McCain is going to keel over in 6 months.

Then the fungible begins....


FTFY

I should add that i farking love Olbermann.

LOL i like that.

But i love watching Olbermann. And Maddow? What a clincher. One of the best decision Olbermann/MSNBC ever made.

"I have that confidence. I have that readiness," Palin said. "And if you want specifics with specific policies or countries, you can go ahead and ask me. You can play 'stump the candidate' if you want to. But we are ready to serve."

Governor Palin, what is your opinion on African Witch Hunts?

In wot respekt, Charlee?

 
Pechorin 2008-09-19 08:25:57 PM  
an example of right-wing interviews:

reporter: Sen. McCain. Evil. Do we destroy it? Bargain with it? Or appease it?
McCain: We destroy it.

CROWD GOES FARKING BATSHIAT CRAZY!!!!11111!!1111 OMGZ MCCAIN IS GENIUS!!!

I saw this when that religious nut interviewed him... can't remember his name. This type of reporting is sick and its effectiveness demonstrates why this country is doomed.

 
Bendal 2008-09-19 08:27:49 PM  
Palin's a narcissist; she doesn't fact check, she doesn't even really think about what she's saying, because, well, she already knows whatever she says is the unvarnished truth, and all of us ought to recognize that.

She surrounds herself with sycophants and yes-men, but then cuts them loose the second they do anything that might cast aspersions on herself or those in her inner circle.

I swear I can't figure out how ANYONE who's done even a minute's digging into her past actions can think she's even close to qualified for the VP, and by inference, the Presidency.

She's NOT. She's not even CLOSE.

I'd prefer a transcript since I'm at work, but I guess I'll try the video after work in 4 hours.

I did see Jon Stewart compare it to an Infomercial, though.

She doesn't even write what she says, it's all done by the campaign. Have you ever heard of a politician not answering questions from the press on a campaign? It's absolutely unheard of. They even yank her from the stumps when tough questions are asked.

This is an absolute step back for women and women's rights.

Bingo. Though to be fair, the current president is just like this... only with a whole lot of blood on his hands.

Thats the same issue I have with Obama, the man has really done nothing. Ill be ducking in the corner.
