I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Fox News Channel’s Steve Doocy says Sarah Palin has foreign policy experience because her state is across the Bering Sea from Russia.
Yeah right.
And Bill Clinton had military experience because he called out the National Guard once.
This just proves how intellectually vapid the hosts on Fox News truly are.

Asinine, talking heads, now here’s a job that should be exported

Um, he was being sarcastic about her having experience due to being close to Russia, he’s trying to knock it into the other guy’s head that Palin is a pretty bad choice for VP.

Allright, I hate pravda aka fox news as much as if not more than the next guy, but that was actually said in jest.

Steve Doocy has never ceased to amaze me. He is the most air-headed person I’ve ever encountered on a news network, and I’ve encountered many. I’m sure his bosses at Fox understand that Steve is a moron. Even his co-hosts often give looks of “duh” to the audience and to each other after his frequent ditsy moments. This is the kind of guy that taints the journalistic integrity of the mainstream media. Nice guy, but wow; and why do you have that job? What talent can he possibly possess? I see no evidence of broadcasting or journalistic ability in Steve Doocy. He’s just a smiling doofus.

The Left and MoveOn.org is just upset because they have to change their attack/smear/drive-by strategy now. They were expecting Romney or some other guy they knew. Now they’ve got a little more delicate problem on their hands…they’ve already dissed a lot of women with the Hillary fiasco. From what I’m hearing, Obama talks a good line, but Palin actually follows through with execution of her views. That’s a huge difference.

Darnit, lost my post
Funny thing in a blog titled “Most Absurd Comment Ever” it is matched by equally absurd comments.
Thought there was a little thing called Michigan between Illinois & Canada. No?
And giving Steve Duecy credit for possessing the intelligence to comment in “jest” or with “sarcasm”? Now that is absurdly funny! Can’t wait for Colbert to pick up on his buddy Duecy’s mental olympics.
But thanks for the post, as I used it to discredit some moron that claimed Palin’s only shortcoming was her lack of foreign policy experience.
Maybe Duecy sank Palin before she even set sail across the Bering Straights en route to the global security critical 2008 Kamchatka Summit!

Bill: Careful to not assume that any more women would have voted for Hillary simply because of her gender. Early in the debates we learned that no more black people would vote for Obama simply because they shared a demographic.

Sarah Palin has like, trilingual foreign relations expertise, with Russia and Canada on both sides of Alaska. A bunch of water, too!

All the candidates are from states that border foreign countries. McCain’s Arizona borders Mexico, Obama’s Illinois borders Canada, and Biden’s Delaware borders New Jersey.

“This…is…HUUUUGE!”

Illinois is bordered by several states. None of them are Michigan. Nor does it border Canada.

Ok people, I feel like I am on a college chat session reading all these foolishly idealistic quips from viewers. Please do not post your thoughts unless you have something profound to say. Always look at both sides of the issues before reaching a daft desision.
I believe McCain and Palin are stupendous.

Sarah Palin…..wtf??!! Governor for several months of a state with, as one commentator stated, 12 people and a bunch of caribou? Foreign policy experience - none. Economic policy experience - none. National experience - none. McCain has blown it with this pick.

I think the best line I’ve heard so far on Palin and her governorship of Alaska comes from Adrian at Politics & Soccer:
“governing Alaska is like governing Sim City with the free money cheat. It’s easy to repeal taxes and fund infrastructure at the same time when you have a money spigot.”

I vote for Wide-eyed American’s comment that “Illinois is right next to Canada !” as the new “Most Absurd Comment Ever”
You might check a map before making a statement like that…save yourself from looking absurd.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
yeah she also has foreign policy experience with Canada!
OMG! And McCain has foreign policy experience with Mexico! dude the republicans are set!
