Sarah "how long have I been at this, like five weeks?" Palin

Sarah Palin was no light-weight. She did what she needed to do which was to hold her own against Joe Biden and that's exactly what she did. Unfortunately she did so with what I call "playing political footsie".

Whenever she didn't have any substantive to say she'd go all cutesy, wink to the camera, bob her head or tear into a cheerleader cheer for her "boss". Cute for TV but not for actual government. Especially from a woman who allegedly said yesterday that her favorite vice-president was George H. Bush because he eventually went on to becoming President of the United States.

Honey, I don't want this woman near the White House, ESPECIALLY after this infamous moment :


IFILL: So, Governor, as vice president, there's nothing that you have promised as a candidate that you would -- that you wouldn't take off the table because of this financial crisis we're in?

PALIN: There is not. And how long have I been at this, like five weeks? So there hasn't been a whole lot that I've promised, except to do what is right for the American people, put government back on the side of the American people, stop the greed and corruption on Wall Street.

I honestly didn't think Palin would bomb last night and I was really hoping she would show some intellect last night. Oh boy, how did she did not. And I have to tell you, after her "I've been at this 5 weeks" comment, she lost any and all possibility of gaining my respect.

QUOTES

Q: Could we review some of the concepts that you've introduced into economics and see if you think they still have relevance? For example, the concept of "countervailing power."

Galbraith: Over the years--over the century just passed--one of the important counters to monopoly power in the corporate world was the development of countervailing power, certainly by trade unions, certainly by farmer cooperatives, certainly by other corporations. Power begets power, and I still hold very strongly to that view, which I first published, believe it or not, some fifty years ago.
