Watch Sarah Palin on CBS tonight. Utter disaster.
Palin is in so far over her head, it isn't even funny. Watch
especially at 4 minutes 30 seconds into the interview (video is below)
when they have the following exchange after Couric asks Palin for
examples of John McCain leading the charge for oversight of Wall Street:
Couric: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall
Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more
example of his leading the charge for more oversight?
Palin: I think that the example that you just cited, with his
warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie - that, that's
paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and
representatives did for us.
Couric: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman
of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided
with less regulation, not more.
Palin: He's also known as the maverick though, taking shots from
his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying
to get people to understand what he's been talking about - the need to
reform government.
Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I
know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you
give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking
a stand on this?
Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has
done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership
abilities. And that is what America needs today.
Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor
the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more
regulation.
Palin: *I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you* .
