Palin Is Ready? Please.

Gibberish or glossolalia?

Gibberish is disconcerting enough; glossolalia should frightent us all.

I'm sure Fareed Zakaria has been called many things, but "liberal" is not one of them. Perhaps it would be prudent to check the author's credentials before disparaging him.

Sarah Palin might have been good as a presidential candidate in 2012 or later. She could have had time to study.

McCain could have energized the base by picking Huckabee, who's a far more experienced governor and a far better interviewee than Palin.

McCain was irresponsible for putting up an obvious lightweight before she was ready, and putting down a heavyweight that could have helped him win.

The Republican party will pay for it.

The really sad thing is that Fey didn't even need to doctor the lines - she just repeated Sarah almost word-for-word.

Put aside Sarah Palins lies and dishonesty to the American people, This woman couldn't run the PTA. She is out of touch with society and the bunker mentality they have her under proves it. Even people in her own party are questioning her ability to be Vice President. What do people see in this woman? She gives a speech, Gives three interviews, (Two of them which were absolutely dreadful) And now Republicans say she is ready for VP. Come on.

The more I get to see and understand McCain, I get a very strong feeling that he has no deep thinking skills. There are many like him who appear to be successful and ride on a kind of "erratic behavior" most of their life. Their success has always been in standing up against something or the other....but never achieving anything other than criticism of everything around themselves.

The reason Palin is not ready is 1. she tax the oil companys and our gas prices went sky high. 2. Palin recived the money for the bridge to no where and that is why Alaska is doing so good, she gave the money to a person after she built a sports complex on half his land, also put in heated sidewalks ,on the tax payers money,

Ahh! Finalyy the unvarnished truth!! Thanks Fareed for telling it like it is.

Illogical reasons...hidden prejudice...gotta' laugh at the attempt to paint blatant racism as anything other than what it is...total ignorance. McCain's choice in Palin was in direct opinion that American voters are stupid...at least that is his position in choosing such an inept running mate. He did not even have the foresight to test the extent of her political knowledge, or her speaking ability (which is basically what a VP is detailed with) which; as if I needed to be...convinces me that the man is incompetent himself. I'm hearing these objections to Obama's election...the comment above talking about Obama hanging with the anti-American crowd...which one would that be...his fellow senators in Washington? his college classmates from the University he graduated Magna *** Laude from? or maybe it's the Law Program Obama served as President for... sometimes you have to ask yourself how adults can possibly be so stupid and then try to assess a person who is by far the superior intellect and try to label him unqualified...it's either mass hysteria or Americans really are as dumb as other countries think they are.

Ahhh! Finally someone speaks the truth and eloquently>

How did McCain vote on the invasion of Panama? I think that he was born there. How can an old man direct where young people should live or die for his beliefs.

When a campaign is grasping for straws and covering for a vice-president candidate the way McCain's camp is, something is very wrong. You don't have to be right wing or left wing. You can try bashing and trashing Obama all you want as being inexperienced. This article is not Obama, it is about Palin. So to all the Obama bashers in the web blog, why don't you address this which is relevant to Zakaria's article...

Kathleen Parker, an early supporter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, said Friday recent interviews have shown the Alaska governor is "out of her league" and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party. Parker's comments follow those by prominent conservatives David Brooks, George Will, and David Frum who have all publicly questioned Palin's readiness to be vice president.

And the above list of conservative commentators are some of the most prominent on the right side of the spectrum. Considering the facts and the commentary of these well respected journalists posting what they did, can you still look someone in eye, knowing that Palin could become POTUS, and say without hesitation, or trepidation that she is ready right now to lead our country after seeing Couric's interview with Palin?

And don't give the BS that Couric was hard on her. If you saw the debate, Couric's questions were easier than the ones that both McCain and Obama were given. So if you think Couric was hard, what is she going to do when she has her face-off with Biden? Case closed.

McCain just wanted a "media friendly face" to be VP. I know it, the whole country knows it.
