Sarah Palin's next interview is with...
By bluegal Friday Sep 12, 2008 3:00pmSean Hannity. Not making that up, and really, does anyone wonder if Hannity will question Ms. Palin's readiness to be Commander-in-Chief, the way he regularly does with Obama? And one wonders if the rest of her fall schedule is booked with O'Reilly, Brit Hume, and the gang from Fox and Friends. (h/t Oliver Willis)

No softball questions. No questions at all.
Baby Jesus will simply air-blow her kisses the entire interview.
The only thing I am wondering about with this interview is whether Hannity will give the campaign the questions ahead of time, or whether the campaign will give Hannity the questions ahead of time.
If sean hannity wanted to be a journalist, he could get a job with democracy now, but I am not holding my breath.
Cheers,

k @ 3:
He'll be the first host of "Fascism Now."
When is she going to be interviewed by journalists?
Ron @ 5:
Gibson did a fine job. Not the worlds toughest interview but much better than I expected.
I bet this was going to be the first interview, but they went with ABC because it was too damn obvious.
Yeah, she'll live at Faux from now on.
Sure hope Hannity remembers his flag pin!
I'm shocked. Looks like Charlie Gibson's softball title is in jeopardy.

Tongue kisses are inevitable.
Too funny. They're trying to capitalize on her "popularity" and keep her in the public eye. You can bet the visual will barely have her "presidential" - what do you think? Skirt definitely - no pant suits for this one -- something to showcase the legs with - and probably a snugly fitted blouse and jacket with a very flattering neckline -- got to keep those brain-dead voters with one hand on the tiller happy.
The interview itself? I don't even need to speculate.

My only surprise is that he wasn't the first and only one to interview her. Her husband will be interviewed by Greta Van Susteren. I doubt anyone will change their schedule just to see that.
Hannity: So Governor Palin, I hear you like to chase down wolves from a helicopter and blow their brains out. Is that as exciting and sporting as it sounds? Can you hook me up for one of these hunts?
Palin: I sure can Sean. We'll take the baby along on the helicopter too. You know what we say in Alaska, you are never too young to learn how to blow an animal away for sport.
Hannity: I understand you can hunt a moose, blow it's brains out and gut it. Is that true and can you hook me up on one of these moose killings? By the way, are moose burgers as good as they sound?
Palin: Let's make a date Hannity to do some good old moose killin' and gutin". Moose burgers are almost as good as caribou burgers but less stringy.
Hannity: So what's it like living so close to Russia and defending our country from those commies?
Palin: Sean, it's what I wake up thinking about every one of my maverick mornings.
Hannity: Thank you governor Palin for sharing your wise and insightful views with our Fox News viewers.
what an effing charade. although, it would be interesting to see which one comes off more lame and bigoted. maybe, as they blow each other, one of them will really say something stupid.
It'll be a stupid-off.

no different then the messiah being interviewed by the apostle oblberman..patron saint of windbags.
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude
and spotted a man in a boat below.
She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would
meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air
balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above
sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100
degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically
correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still
lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be Palin."
"I am," replied the woman balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going.
You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made
promises that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your
problems. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met but,
somehow, now it's my fault."
BigIslandDave @ 1:
There is no reason to give her any other exposure unless it's absolutely necessary. If she can escape alive from the debate, she's the VP. With four kids at home, she could come down with some convenient disease and could miss the debate, too.
I won't watch.... I can't stand hannity. I will have some interest in knowing if he or she has knee pads on during the interview.
joewxman @ 18:
Jesus was interviewed by Olberman? Damn, I missed it.
After all this time, the Democrats still cannot effectively campaign. Damn shame, but game-set-match Republicans.
Chris Gamble - Election is slipping away @ 6:
I didn't think it was tough at all. She was just totally unprepared. Lieberman didn't coach her well on the subjects. He probably didn't know what the Bush doctrine was either.
Can O' Whoopass @ 19:
That gets fIve stars on the golden scale. Perfect!
Oh, my G-d! Give me a break! What was Palin thinking when she said "yes" to this guy, a creep.
I wish Palin was interviewed by this gentleman, Colmes. He is an excellent debator. Even Hannity has to hush up when he is around.
Where is Alec Baldwin?
Let the Reagan masturbatory love dance begin.
1st Hanniquestion: "In what one way are you NOT like Reagan?"
2nd Hanniquestion: "I have a 'Reagan room' at home where I frolic in the nude and make naughty Republican shadow-puppet porn next to my Reagan blow-up doll. Are you going to cut taxes? You know, like Reagan?"
3rd Hanniquestion: "I just spooged. Let freedom ring."
Charlie was just acting for his liberal friends and found extremely uncomfortable interviewing the woman that the dems despised. We observed Charlie's body movements and his incoherent statements. Charlie was a nervous wreck! I thought Sarah Palin beat him up with this interview.
If McCain gets elected, Palins family better get used to having their TV permantly set at Fox.
Palin fits right in with the Gang of LIARS
Ron @ 25:
I think her coaches just assumed she would know about something like the Bush Doctrine. Their expectations of her were too high. She's clueless on most current affairs and even the not so current ones.
joewxman @ 18:
only the difference between wrong and right. it isn't the style, it's the issues.
call me @ 24:
ya....shame on the dems for trying to run a campaign based on issues and not blatant lies
the palin kids are meth addicts and sarah palin is a dealer
42 meth houses found in wasilla, all pay protection right to todd and sarah palin
hows that
fuck you
BigIslandDave @ 4:
Well, Hannity was a shipyard construction worker. Had some fights, got out to the journalism arena. Now he has made Fox as his shipyard, lol.
Folks, play the Alec Baldwin fights with Hannity just before Palin shows up. Educate her a bit.
Ron @ 25:
he did for the interview. she had that look on her face
that she knew she was in trouble. one out of three
vice presidents become president....we don't want palin
one trip to canada,one trip to mexico,a lay over in ireland and her trip to iraq....i mean kuwait. your correct unprepared but i think of it as doesn't have the
knowledge or experience. she's NOT ready
Hannity: First of all, I just want you to know that we are all praying for you.
Palin: Thank you, Sean. That means a lot.
Hannity: Now for my first question. I think our viewers would be very interested to know about your experiences on 9/11.
Palin: Yes, that was a life-changing moment for me. As Mayor of New York, of course, I had my hands full.
Colmes: What? Wait a minute---
Hannity: Alan. Don't interrupt.
Palin: Coordinating our city's response and standing shoulder to shoulder with our brave first responders--
Colmes: Hold on here. Wait. Rudy Giuliani was Mayor of New York on 9/11.
Palin: No. That was me, Alan.
Hannity: Alan, you're being disrespectful. Shame on you.
Colmes: This is crazy.
Hannity: I will be happy to debate this with you later, Alan. But right now, I'm going to have to shut off your mic. I apologize Governor. I know you face these kinds of personal attacks all the time.
Palin: It's goes with the job unfortunately, Sean.
Halin: Well, it's despicable. Moving on...after 9/11 I understand you led the ground invasion into Iraq. Can you tell our viewers how Jesus helped you with that?

Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 33:
And, is Bush the sponsor?
Hannity thinks that he's the top dog on cable, with his program with Colmes!
However in the early thirties Father Coughlin had a radio show "that had a highly responsive audience estimated at 30 to 45 million listeners a week*!" Letters poured in at the rate of 50,000 a week to station! The US Population at the time was roughly 127,750,000. I took the middle number between 30-45 million which is 37,500,000 and found the percentage of listeners to non-listeners was a astounding 28.90% of the country listened to Father Coughlin!
Hannity on the other hand roughly has 1,900,000 watchers of Hannity and Colmes! With estimated population in 2008 to be 305,000,000, Hannity only has 0.65% of america watching his putrid arse!
Listening to the right-wing blow-hards one would think that Hannity had the country wrapped around his finger, but the figures tell the truth, Hannity ain't s#*t!

Why does this EZ person keep spouting nonsense on every thread?
Oh, well, people are entitled to their stupidity.
pissed off patricia @ 31:
Did you ever figure out what was going on with the absentee ballot applications being mailed out by the McCain campaign. Apparently they have mailed out over 1 million in swing states. I smell Karl Rove and it stinks to high heaven.
hmmm, i'm wondering if there's a possibility that this could backfire. it isn't just that hannity has to lob her softballs, but he's actually going to have to keep her from saying anything too crazy. she tried to make herself seem like a moderate with gibson (global warming is "possibly" man-made) but is sean gonna let her equivocate, or is he gonna be pushing for hard-line conservative posturing? might be interesting.
JimboSlice @ 2:
Exactly!
EZ @ 29:
Oh did ya now?
Who is this we you speak of? Are you or they body language experts?
The only person to say "Charlie" more on film than Palin, was perhaps Katherine Hepburn as she played her part in the "African Queen".
pissed off patricia @ 12:
If Palin claims to be a christian, blowing the animal's brains out for sport is not accepted. She might blow next the people's brains out; kind of transference.

this is so GOOD,send to dems campaign headquarters, they could use something so clever!

From that little fragment you referred to, the commenter may not be all together wrong.
Last night on NOW with David Bostacchio (sp?) he was interviewing a psychiatrist who's made a study of elections. The psychiatrist had a point, people for the most part don't want 10 point Powerpoint presentations, they want to know you're on their side. They want to know what your values are. You don't have to lie. But like on health care you can say, "I want every hard working American to be able to afford a doctor for their sick children." On employment, "I want to see products labeled Made in America again." This way you've addressed two important points on health care reform, and the outsourcing of jobs.
Of course the pundits and opposition will want more details, but that's how websites can be used.
id @ 37:
if we go to war with russia, i will immediatly surrender to the above troups
i will request that they torture me as long as they are all dressed in leather and high heels
what a way to go
Ron @ 42:
What I got from the McCain campaign was an ad for him and little cards that I could send in to receive an absentee ballot. The ad encouraged me to do so. I'm wondering if they want voters to vote for him as soon as possible in case his campaign begins to hemorrhage as we get closer to Nov.
I need to check with our local elections officials and see if this is on the up and up. I'm guessing that it probably is but there has to be a reason the McCain campaign is doing it. I have never received such a campaign ad before from any candidate.
ysbaddaden @ 16:
No, it's "So, you think you can be Vice President?"
Just keeps getting better. Go ahead, Hannity, lead her into a comfortable far-right environment and make her accidently say something outrageous.
Don't be scared, Obama supporters.
You can put lipstick on a softball and it is still a softball.
pissed off patricia @ 52:
In other swing states they have been receiving applications with the wrong return address on them.
Watching this interview is tantamount to passing a kidney stone. There is no point in even qualifying any aspect of this love-fest.
I'm sure Hanni-turd will gaze into Palin's eyes longing to jam his face up her backside and tell her how good she smells. I'm sure i couldn't get pass two minutes of this circus before the gag reflex kicks in.
It figures. Her handlers and coaches saw how badly she did with Charles Gibson (who gave better than I had expected) and now they're going to hide her away into the safety of Faux News.
Watching these two discuss anything would be as close to political hackery as you are going to see. A freshman Governor, fresh off her job overseeing 8000 people of Wasilia, is going to trade some war on terror talk with the most belligerent of the right wing toadies on FOX.
Oh man. Its gonna be ugly
"Why does Obama hate America so much?" "Because he hates women." No more need for an interview!
joewxman @ 18:
besides their rabid idiocy, one thing linking all the wingnut trolls is their complete lack of grammatical skills. they exchange "you're" with "your" as readily as they exchange bodily fluids with their siblings.
This interview will be as ridiculous as Olbermann interviewing Obama.
Ron @ 56:
I just checked and the little cards do have the right return address on one of them for the County Supervisor of Elections to send the absentee ballot to. On the card it asks for date of birth, signature and then a little box to check if you want the ballot sent to a different address and there's a place to provide that address. They also ask for a daytime phone number.
Interesting, one of the cards has my husband's name and address on it in the return address section of the card. The other one has no name or address on the return address section of the card. My husband and I are both registered democrats.
If you think you might want to watch this fake journalist interview her, just shove pins underneath your fingernails. If if doesn't hurt you, then go ahead and watch it.
Maybe Hannity will give her another chance to link the invasion of Iraq with 9-11.
Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 40:
Yeah. Obama was just on the freaking BillO show for crying out loud!! Where's the Palin equivalent of that?
pissed off patricia @ 63:
You might still want to check the validity with your democratic office.
Hannity? of course---must (not) see tv.
ot but very important. the republican party removes it's white hood for the "values voters".
lou dobbs, newt and mitt where there too.
sick, racist bastards.

Trittydi @ 11:
No individuality allowed over on here the left. Stay in line, lock step, hey, get back in line Lieberman. No skirts allowed, stay in line. How dare you try to be a woman and a success. Stay in line, don't think unless we tell you what to think.
And when have you ever seen Sarah wear anything unprofessional. Grow up.
There was a movie once where this broad was being interviewed by 2 cops (I think) and she didn't have on any, um, you know, (whispers) undies.
I hope viewers see this Fascist Hannity sweat.
It doesn't matter whether she appears on Fox, ABC, CBS or MSNBC for that matter. The McCain campaign has done a good job of immunizing Palin from serious media criticism. I never saw anything like it in my life.
TobyWanKinobi @ 70:
Uh, sorry, pal, but it's your party that's the refuge of Kool Aid drinkers and myopic, sycophantic, unquestioning, rigid, lockstep conformists. We free thinkers are the ones who value freedom and individualism.
Ron @ 67:
I'm going to. If I had been inclined to send in the card and request a ballot, I doubt I would have thought to check and see if my name and address was on the return address part of the front of the card.
So here's how I see the scenario going. I send in the card with my date of birth and signature. The clerk gets it and checks off that I requested an absentee ballot. When the card gets to the person who is mailing out the ballots, they have no return address for me so they don't send out the ballot. If I show up to vote on Nov 4, the records will show I requested an absentee ballot and therefore I cannot vote at the voting booth.
Yes, I know it's a conspiratorial scenario but these days, I would put nothing past the republican machine.
Rico @ 72:
OMG. OhNobama goes out and fields a bunch of softball questions from his adoring fans, says absolutely nothing, and the uh, uh, mmmm, media just uhm, ahh, uh, goes you know, uhm, uhm ahhh, gaga.
