No More Attention for Palin

Seriously, she's not worth the time and energy. Check out this clumsy response to a question about how to keep domestically produced coal and oil in the U.S (via ABC News Political Radar blog).

"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first," Palin said. "So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."

That gives me flashbacks to my teaching days. She sounds just like a high school student trying to talk their way around the fact that they don't know the answer to a homework question. She's a distraction. I'm going back to focusing on Barack and McCain, with occasional side notes when Biden gets fired up.

i'm with you, dave. listening to mccain try and defend palin as his vp on 60 mins last night was cringe-inducing.

i did get into it with a guest at lydia's wedding over palin. he just could not believe that i wasn't absolutely ga-ga over her, just because she was a woman. and he truly believed that obama is ego-driven whereas mccain just wants to serve. and he's an independent! and voted for kerry! this must be the same person nodding his head when mccain says things like "we need to clean up the old-boy network in dc" to which obama replied: you know what the old boy network is to the mccain campaign? a staff meeting.

I love that staff meeting line. All last week, Barack was on fire, using his wry humor to knock McCain.
