Another day, another corruption scandal. The danger is that people may get so used to hearing about all of their corruption that they may get numb to it. Still Americans deserves better then this b*itch.

When someone offers you a gift, you can't blink.

This is probably the reason she is not forthcoming with her financial information. They have to puzzle in these things.

God it just doesn't end does it? How did she get picked, really I mean. Did they throw names in a hat? There are any number of very capable Republican women that would have been viable candidates. I know McCain's reputation among conservatives is strained and maybe there weren't many ready to hook their political wagon up with McCain's... but Sarah Palin?

My biggest concern in this election has always been the Supreme Court appointments that are sure to come up in the next administration. I'm still concerned about the courts but the picture of Palin being sworn in as President of the United States is just so surreal.

After 8 years of Bush, can you imagine how a Palin presidency would play out in the world of international politics, and what image this would project to the rest of the world?

It was painful watching the Katy Curic interview. It was like being in a comedy club and watching the comic bomb on stage. A part of you really feels sorry for the guy/gal even if their jokes aren't funny. That's how I feel watching her.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, U.S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Bill Clinton................... Sarah Palin. Wow.

I completely agree on the supreme court appointment fear, can you imagine how far the country will be set back if she gets to appoint up to four justices?

Watching the Curic interview was as if that was the parody of the real interview not the actual candidate making those comments. I could see Tina Fey doing the interview with this script it would be hilarious, it is NOT hilarious when what we watched was the actual interview.

Palin is a airhead, a joke, an embarrasment !

Just listen to Couric's interview with her.........no wonder they tried to hide her away.

Anyone who would vote for her needs their head examined.
