Sarin Palin on Hugh Hewitt's show
PALIN TONE: Sarcastic, petulant, unconvincingly dismissive.
PALIN MESSAGE: I'm average, I'm normal, the press mocks me, a victorious McCain/Palin team will kick their tutus.
INTERVIEWER: Fox News type coddling with sympathetic questions.
DOWNFALL: The "middle class" claims aren't flying any higher than McCain's with his 13 cars and 7 houses. He has a 250K home, a plane, two watercrafts, and a $250K home on a lake. She's pretty well off. SHe complains of losing money in the stock market. Awww. I shed one tiny tear.
HH: Governor, your candidacy has ignited extreme hostility, even some hatred on the left and in some parts of the media. Are you surprised? And what do you attribute this reaction to?
SP: Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it, but it’s motivation for John McCain and I to work that much harder to make sure that our ticket is victorious, and we put government back on the side of the people of Joe six-pack like me, and we start doing those things that are expected of our government, and we get rid of corruption, and we commit to the reform that is not only desired, but is deserved by Americans.
HH: Now Governor, the Gibson and the Couric interview struck many as sort of pop quizzes designed to embarrass you as opposed to interviews. Do you share that opinion?
SP: Well, I have a degree in journalism also, so it surprises me that so much has changed since I received my education in journalistic ethics all those years ago. But I’m not going to pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrelful. I’m going to take those shots and those pop quizzes and just say that’s okay, those are good testing grounds. And they can continue on in that mode. That’s good. That makes somebody work even harder. It makes somebody be even clearer and more articulate in their positions. So really I don’t fight it. I invite it.
She IS able to come up with a coherent sentence or two when she is put at ease. I don't know if Gwen Ifill will have a soothing or unnerving effect on her.
The average mom business doesn't cut it for me. Still no comparison to McCain's houses:
