Palin's dog ate her homework: She 'booted' response to Couric because Katie was snotty to her
By David Neiwert Friday Nov 20, 2009 9:00am
Sarah Palin thinks she's got it covered now in explaining why she did so badly when interviewed by actual journalists in her failed vice-presidential campaign last year. She went on The O'Reilly Factor last night and told BillO that a simple foreign-policy question like Charles Gibson's query about the Bush Doctrine was just a "gotcha technique" by the liberal media (instead of a routine question intended to ascertain her bearings on foreign policy).
And Katie Couric? That was just a reaction to Katie's snotty questions:
O'Reilly: Katie Couric's a different story. Katie Couric asked you an easy question and you booted it, governor.
Palin: I sure did.
[Plays video]
COURIC: What newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this — to stay informed and to understand the world?
PALIN: I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media —
COURIC: But what ones specifically? I’m curious.
PALIN: Um, all of them ...
O'Reilly: Why did you boot it? I mean, if somebody asks what do you read, I say I read the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, I could reel them off in my sleep, you couldn't do it.
Palin: Well, of course I could. Of course I could.
O'Reilly: Well, why didn't you?
Palin: It's ridiculous to suggest that or say I couldn't tell people what I read. Because by that point already, although it was relatively early in that multi-segmented interview with Katie Couric -- it was, it was quite obvious that it was going to be a bit of an annoying interview with a badgering of the questions. It seemed to me that she didn't know anything about Alaska, about my job as governor, about my accomplishments as mayor or governor, my record. And a question like that, though, yeah, I booted it, I screwed up, I should have been more patient and more gracious in my answer, it seemed to me the question was more along the lines of -- Do you read? How do you stay in touch with the real world?
O'Reilly: See, that was your inexperience.
Palin: It was my inexperience with having to deal with a condescending, badgering line of questioning. No -- no reflection at all on my inexperience in terms of administrative record or accomplishments or vision for America.
Pardon me while I call b-llsh-t. "What kinds of things do you read?" is a stock question of the political journalist when querying candidates, particularly those new on the scene. And as you can see from watching the clip that O'Reilly shows, there was nothing high-handed or suggestive of "Do you read?" in Couric's question.
You can watch the longer clip of this portion of the interview here. Palin is not bridling at Couric's arrogance -- she's drawing a blank and reaching for straws.
But in Palinopia, of course, she's just being "human." And I guess that's right, to an extent -- since prevaricating and dodging and making up lame excuses is part of the human condition too. Just not a very attractive or inspiring one.

Actual journalists! Who was that?
Amy Goodman perhaps, or Jeremy Scahill perhaps, did I miss something. You don't mean…
Charlie Gibson?!?! do you…
R.I.P.
Good thing she wasn't interviewed by that hard driving, tough journalist Dana Perino.
Total BS - I agree.
As if that kind of a question wouldn't be asked in a beauty pagent? (well maybe not in Alasaka)
I still say Palin is the best most qualified candidate in all of the republican party.
They are lucky she even talks to them after the way they made her look and sound so stupid.
If not for the mean old liberal media she would be the current and future queen of Jesusland.
she was waiting for a question the she could give the answer: "World Peace."
Whirled Peas...I understand they go well with barbecued moose.
Palinites have been indoctrinated to look with awe on some of the foulest examples of humanity ever assembled. Slaveholders, Indian-killers, Confederates, segregators, land pirates, war criminals and exploiters of all pathologies imaginable.
She still can't answer the question.
That is why she could not answer couric's question!
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness that is killing America!
"...It seemed to me that she didn't know anything about Alaska, about my job as governor, about my accomplishments as mayor or governor, my record..."
Hmmm... wouldn't that be YOUR job as the interviewee to help hr understand, to tell her your accomplishments as you saw them and to show the world by showing Katie that you had the gravitas to take on the Presidency if need be?
Stupid is as stupid does....
FG
So did she ever get back to her? I'd like to hear the follow up answers...
did she ever give up the clothes? What charity did she give them to? Did her "pipeline" ever go through?
These are questions I'd like to hear answered...
Palin: It's ridiculous to suggest that or say I couldn't tell people what I read.
is it ridiculous? i mean, hello, we all saw you go deer-in-headlights blank stare. i can only imagine how sweat-stained your armpits were in your designer duds.
Palin: "no reflection at all on my inexperience in terms of administrative record or accomplishments or vision for America"
ha! please, sarah, let us reflect on your inexperience in terms of your accomplishments, bwahahahaha.... is she even familiar with the concept of "in" before a word meaning the negative of said word??
Step 2. Insert Foot
That was entirely Palin's projection.
Anyone who likes to read, even if it's just the Internet, would have recognized the question as a totally innocuous "read any good books/newspapers/magazines lately?" softball.
What does it say about Palin's paranoia AND reading habits (or lack thereof) that she saw it as a "gotcha"?
$arah should have said, "Doggonit, Katie, the Alaska edition of the Wall Street Journal is printed on birch bark, and the New York Times takes up the reverse side of caribou hides, and goshalmighty, gettin' them to our house sure does wear out the paper boy!"
And yet, she didn't...
It's a campaign disguised as a book tour.

Bullshit!
My god this woman is a piece of work. This happened over a year ago and she is still trying to spin this?!?!?!
WTF?!?
Sarah, why don't you try just being an adult woman and admit that you FUCKED UP ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. For once in your life for the love of God, admit you made a big mistake, and if you truly have been mischaracterized as brainless window dressing for the GOP, move on and show people by your actions that you have some substance.
And if not, then get the fuck out of the way and let the professionals run the show.
That's the bottom line.
No, the real bottom line is that Rupert Murdoch is selling a product and she is it.
Someone should tell Palin that the key to effective lying is keeping the lie short. Exaggerating and elaborating on the lie simply makes it more difficult to maintain.
In this case, Palin wants us to believe that she knew that Katie "Navy Seals rock" Couric, America's sweetheart, was out to get her, so Palin responded by feigning ignorance. Yeah, that makes sense, that's the ticket. Frankly, Palin would have been better off saying, "You know, I was stressed, and tired, and the question was out of left-field and caught me flat-footed. I thought we were going to talk about policy and issues, and she's asking me about what I read?"
You know, the only reason anyone with any sense might pay attention to Palin is that her popularity with the crazies and the media's fixation on her really speaks to the fundamental problems with our country. Well, that and the car wreck aspect -- it's almost impossible to look away as she continues to make crazy up as she goes.
Palin is the Queen of the Grudge Keeper's club. But she doesn't need a title to be Queen....
but, but, Sarah IS a professional...um...something...this is a "professionally run FOREVER 'beauty pageant' for gosh sakes.....
(total snark)
If Palin thought that these quite ordinary questions were some kind of 'gotcha' attempt, it begs the question.. What did she expect to be asked, and how did she prepare herself for the interview?
It just wasn't reasonable for her to think that a Vice-presidential candidate would be asked for hair and makeup tips, or for her recipe for peach cobbler. How to field dress a moose maybe, but that's only because the current (at the time) Vice President had shot a friend in the face. You don't want another Veep who's totally ignorant of bushcraft, after all.
for public consumption.
Like gubmint cheese.
She went to an interview and was badgered with questions.
I hate it when I'm being interviewed and they ask me questions. It's really annoying.
She must have thought she was interviewing Katie Couric, maybe for the role of Naval Observatory Press Secretary. Not that such a position exists, but un-reality has never been a barrier to Repugnicants.
...despite strong sales of the book you had written for you and quit your job so you could profit from like a good reality show queen, most "normal Americans" don't read. Ever. I really have to wonder what she meant by "normal Americans". Alaskans? Whites? Fundamentalists? What? Or is it 'elitist' to want someone in office who actually knows what the hell they are talking about?
Also... he's still lying about this? Really?
...don't even read the bible. They prefer to let someone else tell them what it says. How else can you explain their beliefs that Jesus' ministry was all about the right to life and hatred of the gays? Go ahead, try to find ONE mention of either subject in the New Testament.
"I come not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it."
Said law being Leviticus' observation about homosexuality, etc.
Of course, the law only exists because we are experienced hands at being unfair and selfish. In theory, regulations would NOT be necessary if it were a simple trade of commodities. But add PROFIT, and the whole thing goes askew, because now there's an additional motive above 'providing a service'.
'Hate crime' legislation exists because we STILL see minorities getting discriminated against, beaten, even killed. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion - those provisions exist because the British Crown didn't observe them.
So the Fundies will have their justification. It is, however, looking in the wrong direction.
So that one line folds the entire Old Testament into Jesus' doctrine. He was cool with killing people for the abominations of eating shellfish and mixing textiles too, I suppose. He just didn't get around to mentioning it.
Not my interpretation, but I guess some fundies feel justified by it.
always seem to forget about Matthew 25:31-46.

Those are the names of her next four kids.
I was reading all the angry comments and all of a sudden a joke...
good zinger ricky
If only Katie-coo could lead a witness, I mean interview, as well as the Papa Bear.
Softball much?
Anytime this dumbass can't answer a simple question pertaining to rudimentary political information it's a "gotcha".
Hey mom, I got a "D" because the teacher didn't like me.
That happened once! I'm sure... Katie was jealous...?
There was an article last year concerning Palin in Esquire, I think (it might have been Atlantic Monthly, or maybe Vanity Fair, I can't remember exactly), in which the author interviewed one of Palin's high school teachers. He remembered Palin as badgering him and other teachers to change her grades when she thought they were too low. Sounds familiar.
... different colleges, if I recall correctly.
That's certainly open to speculation as to WHY, as in grade shopping.
They kept asking all those hard questions on tests.
Name____________________ Class_________ Date_________
Name: Sarah honey.
Class: Junior.
Date: friday night is best for me.
Sounds like a stripper name. Do you think she has a pair of clear heels in her shoe closet?
Her version of reality is: She can't be asked certain simple questions according to an elaborate unshared minefield of criteria she keeps in her head, as a possible president? ...AND... if she is asked one of these questions it's her right to appear incompetent to cover for her anger.
Yeah, that's a world leader we need. What fucking world does this hopeless twat live in?
She is a perpetual victim. I despise this pathetic bitch.
plentiful, if you don't mind standing in line with 2000 other applicants.
Palin: It was my inexperience with having to deal with a condescending, badgering line of questioning. No --
~~~~~~~
Badgering line of questions, W-H-A-T????
I thought 'Sarah says it like she sees it'??
Why didn't she tell Katie 'I don't like your badgering tone and I only gave you this interview because I heard you were depressed and I'm doing you the favor'.
That would have went over pretty big [duh]. .
Well Falafel Man finally got his 'sloppy seconds' face-to-face. Maybe he'll start callin' her on the phone . .
[WINK, WINK]
is a narcissistic, undereducated bimbo who has made a hobby of prevaricating.
She has nothing to offer as a candidate for any political office, and if she continues to prance around in public, she will eventually trip and fall over her lies.
The fact that the so-called right-wing, conservative, christian faction of the republican group find her appealing is testament to their utter ignorance.
Sorry for being o/t, but seriously...
... Michael Steele as his campaign manager, so everyone will know he's totally bling-bling homeboy jiggy wit' it and a friend of minorities.
If small timer Katie C. is enough to fluster Palin, think what a strong leader like Putin would do to her. He would show her some 'international relations' for about five minutes.
Democratic prayer: Please, please make Sarah Palin the GOP canidate.
Can't wait to see the rest of the lineup.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a201/mydoge...
...whenever she felt badgered, she would have all the bombs...
... someone has to confirm the launch order.
Of course, with Sarah, odds are Todd will have the football.
We don't need to be steenking badgered.
</couldn't help myself>
[GIGGLE, GIGGLE, GIGGLE]
Falafel flirting, YOUUU'RRRRE BAAADDDD . .
I thru up in my mouth . .
Wonder if Billo is getting a woodie looking up her skirt? He's practically got a lip-lock on her ass even at a distance
It only took her a year to some up with a source:
"I read Newsmax"
http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/palin_hannit...
the very same "source" that suggested a military coup against Obama.

Definition of an interview: "a badgering of the questions"
you gotta love it.
Oreilly can't help himself, he likes "bad girls"; at the end of interview
he tells Palin: " you're bad". Yeah Oreilly she's a bad girl,
just slap her butt with a falafel!!
Failed politicians still living in the ass end of history used to be laughed off the stage. Now, they're presidential material.
Hopefully, some people have learned from these mistakes.
We can bring back some of the good old ones.
McGovern/Gravel 2012
...baffle 'em with bullshit.
Making it all that more painful to watch, Palin is about as bad a bullshitter as can be found on the planet.
All three of our grown daughters grew out of what I called their "see if they'll buy this line" early in their development.
Sarah never has.
...baffle 'em with bullshit.
That requires a level of intelligence and craftiness far in excess of Palin's abilities.
You give her too much credit.
...she has the type of world-view and ego that can never allow for her to be wrong about anything, ever. Eventually, her type, when faced with the facts about a situation proving that they are wrong, either alter the facts or the mental history. She probably honestly believes that Katie was badgering her... The questions were about as soft as you can get in a VP candidate interview and still maintain any credibility. If you can't answer a simple question like "What papers do you read?", you are not fit to be a very old man's heartbeat away from the presidency, and I'd say moreso if you get flustered and upset by simple questions like that.
For most of the past decade, the kind of consummate narcissist you describe is exactly what we had in the White House. When you look at the resulting effects on the country, it should be abundantly clear to anyone with two functioning brain cells to rub together that the very last thing we needed in the White House was more of the same.
.
...from what I called "Dick-n-Duhhbya's The Dog Ate My WMD Administration."
And sub-titled: "The buck stops where? What Buck? Iyaint seen no buck. Hey Turdblossom, you seen a buck? Them libruls musta stole it."
.
I thought that was my motto.
that Orally said there was 2 things that did her in and talked all about the reading thing and Charlie Gibson, but completely ignored the third thing which was the gibberish that launched Tina Fey and "I can see Russia from my house" which seems to me to be the worst of it.
Bobzim! That's a keeper. Illiterate-gate!

She couldn't answer the question because she reads so infrequently that she couldn't think of anything. If you're annoyed at someone and really want to show them up, the best way to do that would be to rattle off a list of publications that you read. The morons who like this woman keep saying she's just like us. Well, none of you are the President of the United States and there's a reason for that. Being just like us means your unqualified to be president. We're not interested in friending this bitch. She's a moron and so is anyone who would vote for her. Did you see those inbred hayseeds at her book signing? Thankfully, we, the sane and intellectually curious out number these idiots!
Anybody here could have answered that question be we read news on a regular basis. Only someone who couldn't think up lies fast enough would mess up that soft lob of a question.
Can you believe, actually believe, that O'Lielly called her on it? I caught that segment of the interview. He almost stuck up for Katie.
I think this was the toughest interview she's had (other than Charlie's) since she started talking about anything. And by no means was it tough. But for Fox News standards when it comes to Palin, I guess it was tough.
Now that everyone she has dogged in her book is coming out and calling her a liar, where will she go from there?
Dobbs/Palin 2012.
A ticket made in heaven for Fox News - & the Democrats.
Anyone who's been observing Palin with anything remotely approximating an objective eye since she first appeared on the national stage can see that one of her most glaring and most consistent faults is an inability to acknowledge and take responsibility for her mistakes. Repeatedly -- before, during, and after the election -- she's tried to pass the buck and find someone else to blame whenever she or someone working for her has made a gaffe or dropped the ball. Paradoxically, the woman who's been described by some as "a pit bull in lipstick" doesn't hesitate to depict herself as a passive and helpless victim whenever it suits her -- and this attempt to blame Couric for the fact that she was clearly not prepared to handle the kind of questioning which any Vice Presidential candidate should be expected to face is simply more of the same.
You know what they say -- "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." It should be obvious to anyone who's been paying attention that Palin's nowhere nearly as tough as she's portrayed as being and that she's actually very thin-skinned. What makes this problematic is the fact that what's true in business is even more true in politics -- if you intend to be successful, you can't afford to take everything personally. Palin clearly resigned her gubernatorial seat in part because she couldn't accept or deal with the fact that not everyone's going to like her or handle her with kid gloves. Unfortunately for her, all it really did was prove that she was not fit to be the Vice President since the level of criticism that she's received so far would almost certainly have only been a fraction of what she would have received as Vice President even under the best of circumstances. The inability to acknowledge and/or take responsibility for one's own mistakes is in no way an indication of a good leader -- rather the reverse. After all, we had such a person in the White House for most of the past decade...and we can see only too clearly where that got us.
" . . . one of her most glaring and most consistent faults is an inability to acknowledge and take responsibility for her mistakes."
I agree with you, but this is actually not a fault to the base of the Republican Party. Rather the opposite - it's a virtue.
Republicans are comfortable with Palin's evasion of her own errors and inconsistencies. It's familiar to them. They got the same thing from Gingrich and his 'Contract for America', from Bush and Cheney, from all the family-values hypocrites who got caught screwing other women (and boys).
It's all OK, because even when conservatives screw up, conservatism is never wrong. And God forgives it all anyway - as long as you're right with God, and keep calling yourself conservative, the circus keeps rolling on. The Larry Craigs and Ted Haggards fall into limbo, but that doesn't matter because they were gay to begin with, so they don't count.
The only mistake is not being conservative enough. Which gives every elected conservative an out, and excuses every flaw in conservatism.
Aren't conservatives the ones who are always pontificating about how important it is for people to take personal responsibility for their behavior?
Funny how they never seem to apply that rule to themselves, innit? Odd, that...
With hand covering mouth...Bullshit!
My god this woman is a piece of work. This happened over a year ago and she is still trying to spin this?!?!?!
WTF?!?
Sarah, why don't you try just being an adult woman and admit that you FUCKED UP ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. For once in your life for the love of God, admit you made a big mistake, and if you truly have been mischaracterized as brainless window dressing for the GOP, move on and show people by your actions that you have some substance.
And if not, then get the fuck out of the way and let the professionals run the show.
Palin is just another typical dimwitted, Reslug whore.
... why were we treated to the infamous Karl Rove v. George W. Bush book reading contest?
Come on, Sarah, you gotta at least read 93+ books to keep up with George! (Though 'books' includes 'newspapers' - I guess 'cause they have paper, lots of pages, and words. Oh, and pictures, they have pictures, too.)
That's not counting the landslide of documents any president is going to burdened with.
It took this muscle-failure (as in the brain)over a year to come up with that lame-ass excuse to one of her worse moments. On my worse day I could come up with a better excuse within two days tops.
... you'd still have a better answer to the original question in the first place.
True enough, even if I werent a biblophile, I could pull the names of a few papers and magazines out as if I were reading them, how hard it must have been for this fool to NOT be able to name a couple of local newspapers IN Alaska. There must be a local paper in the capital, as well as that town she's from.
She represents everything thats pathetic about republican'ts.
all you want to about this idiot, but she has a very good chance of being the next president of the United States. We've already set the bar pretty low by electing another idiot...GWB. All Palin has to do is appear on Fox "News" regularly, go on Limbaugh's radio show and keep whipping up all of the tea-baggers, droolers and mouth-breathers in this country. She has plenty of time to change the facts to suit her goal. Fox, Beck, etc. will all be very willing to assist her in rewriting the truth.
I wouldn't put it past Republicans to engineer another voting inconsistency like Florida in 2000 or Ohio in 2004.
it will be the nail in the coffin of that dying collection of degenerates.
Also too, when she breaks a dish in the kitchen, she probably blames Trig.
and when she breaks wind, she blames the dog.
some one tell me there not pushing playlin as a MILF. Hell she is pushing it. Look on the cover of newsweek???? If you have no brains but have good legs, push what you have not what you don't have. smarts is no something she has, But I must say she has some legs.
Most republicant females fit that mode, cute as hell, great....assets, NOTHING going on upstairs whatsoever.
Really, all she's missing is the long blond hair, she already has the vacant thousand-yard stare.
that she is not a blond.

What a victim.
I'd be calling the EPA. A mobile slough of toxic sludge like this can't be good for the environment. On the other hand, my opinion of Palin has materially improved since she thought up (or at least memorized) a rationale, however foolish, for her fern-in-the-headlights interview with Couric. I'd have bet good money the best spin doctors in the US were shaking their heads and calling out a political TOD when they saw that interview.
Bovine excrement, after all, can at least be turned into fertilizer and used to facilitate the healthy growth of plants. In my opinion, the only possible benefit to be had in Palin's rhetoric is the fact that it clearly demonstrates (at least to intelligent and perceptive people) just how thoroughly lacking she is in most of the qualities which make a good leader.
Sure hope those other world leaders won't ask "President" Palin any "gotcha" questions.
How could she handle Ahmadinejad, she couldn't even handle "the perky one".
...with Barbara Walters. Baba recapped the whole "I can see Russia from my house" thing and gave Palin a chance to reframe (or retract) the comment. Palin doubled-down on her preposterous boast, stating again that she stands by her contention that Alaska's proximity to Russia IS relevant and Alaska remains a "gate-keeper" between America and Russia. Also. She will never back down from her own ignorance.
Redbook
Comrade.
waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Asking her what she reads is "arrogant". Charlie Gibson asked her what the Bush Doctrine is, but in the "wrong context". F*ck off.
No she was just plain ignorant! Even if we were to take her at her word, the woman is running for office and decides to boot the question? No Sarah, you answer the question. Last thing I would want running my country is someone who can't gracefully handle something as small as a snotty question.
you have to be a better liar than this.
When she's claiming to be capable of handling the presidency in 2012, I would like someone to please remember to ask her "If you can't handle simple questions from journalists without reacting to your perception of their 'attitude', how are you going to handle Ahmadinejad? Cry? Launch a nuclear attack because he sneered at you?"
I'm not big on the low standards of the press regarding our President, but one nice thing about it, knowing someone isn't competent to handle the press definitely establishes they're not competent to be President.
Jonnan
but I know America too well to blow anyone off anymore no matter how useless they are (see G.W. Bush).
Intelligent Answer: NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal.
But heads would explode in Palintopia for giving credence to NYT and Wapo and the fact they are what everyone reads for actual news. They can't handle the truth!
Nevertheless, she didn't have an answer because, unlike George Bush who readily admitted it, she doesn't read newspapers.
In an 11-18-09 interview with Hannity she said she reads Newsmax, Wall Street Journal, The Frontiesman, her Wasilla Newpaper (is that The PennySaver?) and "everthing online".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rq8Jrl5lk8&fe...
You liberal media people don't like me because I'm sexy! You girls are just jealous! Haters!
WHAT A BITCH.
Palin sure was spooked by Katie Couric. Those unscripted questions clearly traumatized Sarah so much that she's vowed that it will never be allowed to happen agaiin.
THIS is what they learned from Rove -- never do an honest interview, appear only with the Chris Wallace, Hannity or O'Reilly breed of shills, or on marshmallow media like Oprah.
She CAN NOT let go of this. Most politicians know they will have bad moments and know its best to let those dead dogs rest.
Nanook of the North, has such an inflated and undeserved opinion of herself that she just can not admit Katy got the best of her so she is going to keep replaying this match until she is declared the winner. As Sr. would say, "not gonna happen".
i totally agree and came here to post just that.
a politician who doesn't know when to let a "flub" die is a neophyte and a terribly insecure human being to boot!
"She seems to have no first language. [...] I feel sorry for John McCain because he aimed low and missed.
The fact that you could take any 5 sentences out of anything she says and place them anywhere else in what she writes without changing the meaning bothers me." [paraphrased]
A SNAP from the Master.
She's just a below average woman with five children, doesn't read or learn, never seeks the truth, a follower.
The Republicans are simply using this stupid, mean, persecuted woman to keep the Jethro's and Ellie May's(teabaggers, birthers, hillbillies, racists) until 2012.
Possibly some Stepfords too.
story that she didn't like Couric's attitude as if she was condescending on her being from Alaska...OK we'll give you that Ms. P. but you have to answer this...
Why couldn't you name one other Supreme Court case, besides Roe, that you disagreed with? Surely a VP candidate should be able to rattle off names of Supreme Court cases instantly!
Again she "BOOTED" the question proving her ignorance. But hell, what do I know, I'm an elitist snob in her eyes...
No more horses can run for office - no more Mustangs, no more Maverics, no more Palins. No more rouges, no more villains, and no more scoundrels, if you please.
...She'd have gotten an answer right quick, and avoided this whole thing.
It takes her 12 months to answer a question as easy as just what do you read. Then she hammers Obama’s administration for taking a few months time to figure out a way out of Afghanistan. She would have quit by now if she were president, so it really does not matter.
The essential truth is that she didn't know her ass from a hole in the ground, then or now. And all this is recent schlock is trying to repair her image when the great majority of Americans think of her as a dim bulb and will continue to do so. There is no cure for stupid.
