Barbara Walters gives Palin another chance...

[katty]

BARBARA WALTERS: And Sarah Palin, for the third year, we have had Sarah Palin. Because every year, she does something fascinating. And you know, the Katie Couric question that caused her so much trouble? What do you read?

ROBIN ROBERTS: Sure.

WALTERS: Okay. I gave her another chance. And here's the answer.



WALTERS: Well, you know, governor, many people find the thought of you as president a little scary. You hear, 'Oh, she's very charming, but she's uninformed.' Would you like to tell us what newspapers, magazines or books you are reading right now?

SARAH PALIN: I read a lot of C.S. Lewis when I want some divine inspiration. I read Newsmax and Wall Street Journal. I read all of our local papers, of course, in Alaska because that's where my heart is. I read anything and everything that I can get my hands on, as I have since I was a little girl. And that's one of those things, Barbara, where that issue that I don't read or I'm not informed, it's one of those questions where I like to turn that around and ask the reporters, why would it be that there is that perception that I don't read?

1. Because you seem to be really stupid for such a "well read" person?

Poor command of the english language. Poor knowledge of history, geography, the constitution of the united states.

2. So if it was that easy this time

Why in the hell couldn't she come up with something the first time? This time she was read for the question and probably spent days "remembering" all that so she wouldn't forget it, or Barbara forgot to check her hands for NOTES!

8. Notes on her hands was what I thought of too!!!

[RandomThoughts]

3. Both CS Lewis Cronicles of Narnia.

And the Book Thomas Covenant Series.

Are stories about people stepping into another world.

The 'other world' has time that moves faster. 1 day equals 1000 years concept. (note it does not work out to fit, another reason why tron doctrine is not correct, and if you believe in tron doctrine you can be made to feel helpless.)



The best analogy is Tron, but that does not match, since there are limitations and it does not match for many reasons.


However as an analogy of better and worse items, it makes some sense.


From that, make the world better, respect people of better intents, and the bad ones will leave. That is the presumption. Or if you show them love, they will recognize the sentience that is part of all human life, and will do as they were directed and serve people and each other with love, when they realize people do have a right to dignity.

From that comes the 'school doctrine' where human life can help teach those without love, some of those good feelings.

Part of X-men being a school concept, touches on that also.



That is only a metaphor though, but many can understand it.

4. Crock of crapola.

If you ask me a question three times, eventually I might come up with an answer...

[katty]

5. right!

[Bonhomme Richard]

6. Newsmax? (Facepalm) n/t

[notadmblnd]

7. One of the reasons that led me to believe that she is an idiot is- when she was first introduced

and asked if she would be mclames running mate she said, and I quote "what does the vice president do?"

[BrklynLiberal]

9. duh..Can you imagine how mclame felt...?

[vixengrl]

13. That is completely astonishing--

I would have thought she'd ask "What does it pay?"

[somone]

10. "I read all of our local papers"

that's a big improvement

[Stuckinthebush]

11. Narnia? Screwtape Letters?

Simple minded theology for simple minds.

[saracat]

12. Narnia is Fundie crap , the rest Murdoch propagana. I would like for her to NAME the local papers.

Bet she can't.

[MindandSoul]

14. Glad to see that Palin can still hang herself if you give her enough rope!

[Metric System]

15. It's the third year in a row I've had to say that Barbara Walters is easily fascinated.

[JBoy]

16. That's why she switched college so many times. To maximize her textbook collection.
