Palin: This one time...in Debate Camp...

Sarah Palin is at "debate camp". Please tell me this is a joke. Could this get any sadder? Apparently Cruella DePalin left the campaign in what aides are calling "debate camp" in order to prepare for the vice presidential debate. So where is she? In grandpa's McCain's ranch in Arizona. She spent last week being programmed by advisors in a hotel in Philedelphia...that was not enough. There is alot of ummm...stuff...to...like memorize ya know?

According to CNN:

"The adviser said preparing her for the debate was "really hard" because the Alaska governor was learning about issues she had never dealt with before -- including those regarding North Korea and other hot spots around the globe."

Really hard?

I am still bewildered that Palin "stuck to her guns" so-to-speak in the interview with Katie Couric and defended the whole "Alaska is right next to Russia" crap.

Let us not forget that is was only earlier this year that Palin was confused about "what exactly a VP does."

McCain Latin America, Spain, Whatever

Today was apparently a big day for McCain. Which was probably due since Cruella De Palin has been hogging the headlines for while. So far today-he's confused the European ally of Spain with various South American countries and then proceeded to say that he would "fire the chairman of the SEC if he were president. (Yeah it doesn't work that way--but the good 'ol' boy must have been watching O'Reilly last night---fire em' fire em'!)

So back to Spain--
The morning started with McCain giving an interview with a Spanish radio show in Miami. Click play below and listen along- It's hilarious.

Picture him, he sound 1/2 asleep, mumbling into a phone, can you see his comb over all fluffy as he rubs his eyes trying to stay awake as he reads off his handy-dandy notebook.

The reporter asked about what he would do about Latin America if he were to become president, he starts off with "...to pay more attention..."
HELLO?! This sets the tone for the rest of the call...
She clearly says...Lets talk about Spain....and asks if he would be willing to meet with Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

"I will meet with any leader who has the same principles and philosophy that we do: human rights, democracy, and liberty. And I will confront those that don't."

He babbles on about Latin America, Mexico, whatever. The poor reporter sounded shocked...she must have been thinking what good deed did I do to get this gem of a soundbite!? She actually began to stutter. Yeah I have heard the spin that McCain was 'antagonistic' towards Zapatero and 'knew exactly' what he was saying. I don't buy it. He was confused. period.
This is the same campaign that touts foreign policy expertise because the VP is from Alaska and that is pretty close to Russia.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck vs Michelle Obama

I gave up on the view along time ago...but Elisabeth Hasselbeck continues to grind on my nerves. On September 4th she hosted the very down-to-earth "Women for McCain Victory 2008" "luncheon" in what the New York Times described as a "ballroom full of Republican Women". You know...the kind of luncheon that starts off with "strawberry soup."
Anyway...the always snotty Hasselback made a comment about Michelle Obama (but referred to her as the wife of a political candidate) insinuating that she had something to hide and had a list of "topics" that were off limits during Michelle's appearance on The View.

Mrs McCain...(not to be confused with CAROL MCCAIN) and John McCain will be apparently open to any questions thrown at them when they appear on "The View" on September 12th.

I hope Joy or Whoopie (or whats-her-face) takes the opportunity to ask some serious questions. I think they should invite Rosie back just for the occasion...then ...just then...may I actually be tempted to watch the view.
