They've got to just let this lady go home.
This is getting so pathetic and embarrassing, and she looks like she doesn't even want to be doing this anymore. The Couric interview was painful.

I think it's finally hit home for everyone -- Palin and McCain included -- that she is in way over her head. At least Bush could kind of fake his way through this stuff. Palin can't even do that. She seemed convinced that the financial crisis was based on unaffordable healthcare!

Let this lady go back to Alaska and hunt moose and fish. She's become a global laughingstock.

2. I've been wondering what life will be like for her
in Alaska now. So much dirty laundry's been aired, so much water has flowed under the bridge to nowhere since she left only a few weeks ago. By the time the first week of November rolls around, she could be really unpopular up there.

6. I know. I catch myself feeling sorry for her.
She must feel like she's in a horrible nightmare right now.

It's like one of those bad dreams you have when you're a kid, where you accidentally show up for school with no clothes on. Except she's been exposed as a fraud in front of the entire country. It's kinda tragic.

20. If you slip into that pattern...
...just think about the horrible deaths that she's condemned so many wild animals to. Sorry for her? Not an iota.

28. I feel sorry for her children!
OMG




Sarah should be forced to work in a humane society, with constant supervision for the rest of her natural life! She is UNFIT to be walking around! She should be charged with cruelty to animals!

38. Wolves(including pups), Moose and Caribou
She is HORRIBLE!


Did you see the interview with her father at his house. He has the heads of half the forrest critters in ALASKA mounted on his LIVING ROOM WALL!

It made me sick! He also had a pile of antlers in his front yard that was twice as tall as he is.

YUCK!

44. Seriously
Why is this even being mentioned?

And just fyi, deer shed their antlers. That pile probably came from years of wandering around in the woods picking them up.

there's a lot more important concerns than how many trophys some old hunter has on his wall. Get a grip please.

53. I'm with you. No way could I feel sorry for that hateful woman.
Remember her arrogance and incredible meanness at the RNC? Look at all her lies, her proud to be ignorant attitude, the rape kit slap in the face, the fact she has 0 mercy or sympathy for creatures far more innocent than her and hunts them down in brutal fashion with tax payer money even though the ppl voted against it twice.

No way in hell I could feel sorry for that woman. McCain, yes, there have been instances but she seems like a very cruel, vicious human being to me.

29. I do, too, but you know what? She'll be fine.
It's apparently a small state, and I'm sure most people there already knew most of this stuff, and if they loved her before, they'll still love her. Don't worry about her.

never hesitated, forever ready, committed and all that jazz. It's called "schadenfreud" or something like that.

5. I don't like this woman one bit.
She is the type of woman I have always loathed. Narcissistic, full of herself, pushy, a back stabber and a climber. Bleech!

That said, you could almost and I mean almost but not exactly, feel sorry for her. She had her comfortable little fiefdom in Alaska where she was the Queen Bee and boom, in one month she is the "outie" girl who doesn't get to sit with the "cool kids" in the school cafeteria. It must really be shaking her at the core.

10. I agree. Any "normal" person of her experience and intelligence would have run away when asked to
run for VP. She didn't, and now she can face the consequences of her awful decision.

9. I don't think there will be one. I think McCain will suggest
that the Presidential debate take place then instead. He gets his way tomorrow and keeps the bubbleheaded moosehunter out of harm's way.

41. I'd really be surprised if they allow her to debate Biden.
If you think the Gibson and Couric interviews were bad, can you even IMAGINE her trying to DEBATE? WITH BIDEN???? Hell, I bet there are seasoned men and women in Congress now who would think twice about debating him. He could just stand there and let her get more and more incoherent and then answer all the questions without even breaking a sweat. He wouldn't even have to try.

15. This is what someone gets for not blinking.
Any normal person with as much dirty laundry would have been aghast at hitting a national campaign trail with 24-hour news cycles nipping at her heels. Jesus, but what did she THINK would happen?? What a fool.

17. They're gonna find a way to cancel that VP debate.
In the past, VP debates really didn't matter. But, a lot of people will want to see this one. And if Palin answers debate questions like she did in the CBS interview, it's over. It'll be like watching a horrible traffic accident that you can't turn away from.

That's just the problem... there were only loyal, friendly dogs there. The biggest, baddest dog is a mere fly even to the lowest of lions. As we all know, cats are quite fond of eating fish.

32. I am angry that she is even continuing this charade. Does she realize what the stakes are here?
What kind of ego must she have to think she is even remotely qualified? I think she has some big personality disorder to even be going along with it. Talk about an inflated ego. She was a big fish in a little pond. She should have stayed in her little pond.

51. That is exactly what it is, a charade.
She read this speech at the convention saying she was more qualified to hold office in Washington than Barack Obama. She is a jerk.

I guess I don't almost feel sorry for her.

the only way I see them taking her off the ticket is to say that the pressing economic disaster requires someone like Paulson or whomever to take her spot as VP......

I could see this in a heartbeat, you read it here.
