Sarah Palin appreciation society

And the real question here is…getting shot down, how does this qualify you to lead a country? To me be more an indicator you are NOT the right person to do so

Where is the news report about her getting nearly shot down going to Iraq? Got no idea where that comes form, I've never read that anywhere and I can't find it. I can find plenty of reports on how she went to a border crossing, in Kuwait. No mention of helicopters being shot at, or a plan to go to Iraq.

She scares the hell outta me. She's even more right-wing than Bush...and no doubt would start wars all over the place.

Democrats don't start wars?
Labour party don't start wars?
Leftie-liberal socialists don't start wars?
Communist don't start wars or attack their own people? right

On the “CBS Evening News” on Thursday, Katie Couric asked Ms. Palin, Senator John McCain’s running mate, what she meant when she cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as foreign affairs experience.

“That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land — boundary that we have with — Canada,” she replied. She mentioned the jokes made at her expense and seemed for a moment at a loss for the word “caricature.” “It — it’s funny that a comment like that was — kind of made to — cari — I don’t know, you know? Reporters —”

Ms. Couric stepped in. “Mocked?” Ms. Palin looked relieved and even grateful for the help. “Yeah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yeah.”

Ms. Couric pressed her again to explain the geographic point. “Well, it certainly does,” Ms. Palin said, “because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of.”

Ms. Couric asked the governor if she had ever been involved in negotiations, for example, with her Russian neighbors.

“We have trade missions back and forth,” Ms. Palin said. “We — we do — it’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where — where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border.”

Ms. Palin, looking at Ms. Couric intently, kept on going. “It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to — to our state.”

That exchange was so startling it ricocheted across the Internet several hours before it appeared on CBS and was picked up by rival networks.

I feel re-assured now that the good work done by Wubya, will be continued in the unlikely event the oldest would be president ever to be elected carks it in office ...

McCain / Vietnam

McCain / Vietnam

Yep he was there, and yep he's a decent man as far as I can tell. Not sure he'd be all that great a president but he couldn't be any worse than the numpty in office right now.

But what's that got to do with Palin claiming to have visited Iraq, and this statement about not going because her copter was shot at?

God I will have to watch that when I get home, if it is bad as it sounds I will laugh my ass off, especially as she is not only a politician but also a communications major

Though it would give a real alternative reason (ie: Reporters are nasty) to why the republicans have been keeping interviews with her very thin on the ground, because when she has not got a teleprompter she is bad as McCain

You seem to be mixing up posts, track back to Mailman's long post and his facetious comment about choppers and being shot down

Not sure I am, this is what he said in reference to her claim to have visited Iraq:

Meh, whats a thousand yards between friends. I mean, her problem is she cant say her helicoptor was forced down by enemy fire! Oh thats right, neither can Biden!

Then again, maybe the problem is just trying to understand any point MM makes.

The translation is:
"Yes she lied but that does not matter because McCain is a 'Nam Vet who got shot down and Obama is not"

Or to summarise, typical far right republican drivel
