I can't stand the woman but seriously it was just a slip of the tongue, no big deal. It's pathetic and actually distracts from the real issue that she gave a waffling response with no substance about a fairly serious issue.

I would tend to agree with you Hedman. Palin's brain does not have the capacity to handle the complex task of trawling her brain for waffle-words and arranging them in a sensible order while at the same time keeping a mental eye on the various players within the situation about which she's waffling.

Saying North instead of South was the slip of the tongue. The rest of what she said was indeed the ramblings of an idiot and that's what people should be slating her for, not "zOMG she said America supports North Korea".

Absolutely. She doesn't even know the relationship her country has with the Koreans, North or South. She was just rambling like a mumbling cretin. I wouldn't have been surprised if she had said "our allies in North Carolina".

She answers every serious quesion with a volley of incoherent nonsense.

littlefriend · 25-11-2010 08:24PM

It makes me feel sick how ignorant she is. Its just unbelievable that she has a public voice at all.

Also does anyone find it worrying that Sarah Palin currently has her own TV show about Alaska which focuses on her family a lot (i.e. a quasi-reality TV show)

What potential President would ever do this? She's more suited to being a personality with limited power as a Governor rather than the fcuking President!

And her daughter is whoring herself out on some reality dancing TV show too.

We need Bill Clinton back.

Is that the hot teenage unmarried virgin one who had the miraculous birth?
I'd do her.

I thought so too, but look at the quote:
In this context, "sanction" is a verb, not a noun. To "sanction" something means to approve it. A "sanction" used as a noun, is an embargo or a punishment.

Now that subtlety alone can be confusing, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that she made two mistakes and she meant to say, "to block what North Korea is going to do".

But it does open the possibility that she just completely has no idea what is going on - her track record would seem to concur. South Korea/North Korea it's not easy to confuse them if you've been watching the news at all.

In all fairness, she didn't own a passport until 2007.

As for Palin, she's an idiot, and she was an idiot before she mixed up the Koreas.
Glenn Beck? One of the most dangerous people in America today.

Does anyone else think that Glenn Beck looks like an enormous toddler?

Here a typical youtube video of the Sarah Palin Phone Radio Interview.
Most of them have the same theme.

In Fairness the Radio Presenter/Host did prompt to correct her and stumbled into saying South Korea after that..

Respectfully, I think this is the worst post in this thread.

Whatever about the people who didn't read the full context of the comments and just LOLed and WTFed, you've actually read it but think it's proof of something big.

Slip of the tongue is all - you'll notice her "correction" is actually a different point than the first time when she gets mixed up, saying that they're bound by prudence (as well as by treaty) to stand with them. And sanctioning one thing is essentially the equivalent of blocking another...

She's a clown - but not because of this. Obama mentioned during his campaign that he'd been to 57 states (he meant 47) but it was just a slip of the tongue. It happens and isn't really a sign of that much more. Kick her when she's down? Sure. But there's no need to pick this when there's so much more to go on.

Then there was the matter of Palin’s substantive deficiencies.
On September 10, she was preparing to fly back to Alaska to see
her son Track ship off to Iraq and to tape her first network interview
with ABC News’s Charlie Gibson. Before the flight to Anchorage,
Schmidt, Wallace, and other members of her traveling party met
Palin at the Ritz-Carlton near Reagan airport, in Pentagon City,
Virginia—and found that, although she’d made some progress
with her memorization and studies, her grasp of rudimentary facts
and concepts was minimal. Palin couldn’t explain why North and
South Korea were separate nations. She didn’t know what the
Fed did. Asked who attacked America on 9/11, she suggested
several times that it was Saddam Hussein. Asked to identify the
enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank.
(Palin’s horrified advisers provided her with scripted replies,
which she memorized.) Later, on the plane, Palin said to her team,
“I wish I’d paid more attention to this stuff.”

- excerpt from page 326 of Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime John Heileman & Mark Halperin.

Turtwig · 26-11-2010 08:14AM

This woman is just one ignorant idiot. I mean seriously how many of the following nations do you think she could locate on a map/globe,

1 United Kingdom. (US Ally)
2 People's Republic of China. (US rival)
3 DPRK. (US Enemy)
4 South Korea. (US Ally)
5 Iraq. (US Operations Area)
6 Afghanistan. (US Operations Area)
7 Iran. (US Rival)
8 Australia. (US Ally)
9 Norway. (NATO Ally)
10 Denmark. (NATO Ally)

If she doesn't know such basics, the background of, and who her NATO allies are and why, how the fuck can she be a suitable commander in Chief of the US Military. Depressing Thought.

Ah come on, those quotes made me laugh. Try and put on the accent of Hugh Dennis from mock the week and read through them

At least he is funny and unaware of that pc nonsense. The one with the band at the deaf association is priceless. He just wants to be a comedian is what I reckon:)

Look I'm not defending Palin, or bush. But I got caught up in the whole Obama >>>>> anything the republicans can muster thing a few years ago. Ultimately, it's the same old sh!t.
Palin won't be that bad, because she'll be a puppet, just like Bush was. And in a way, that's how a government should be -- no-one should have absolute power. And she won't.

I will say, had Bush flubbed his Oath of Office like Obama did, there wouldn't be an hour gone by when you didn't hear about it. because it was Obama, it was accepted as it should have been for Bush or Palin: a human error!

Bush might have been puppeted around but he was puppueted around by the oil tycoons who dont give a **** about the country and only want to fatten there own wallets
