Sarah Palin talks about the first 100 days of a McCain Presidency: Thinks we're at war with Iraq and Iran
By John Amato Saturday Nov 01, 2008 9:55amThere is a reason why the McCain camp embargoed Sarah Palin for as long as they did. She was talking to Greta on FOX and explained what the McCain administration would do in their first 100 days of taking office. (2:07 mark)
Palin: Ok, we're confident that we're going to win on Tuesday so from there, those first 100 days, how we're going to kick in the plan that will get this economy back on the right track and really shore up the strategies that we need over in Iraq and Iran to win these wars...
Greta then glosses over it, as if Sarah never mentioned that we're at war with Iran and immediately brings up a possible "gaffe" made by Gov. Richardson. Go Greta.
Let's hope the Iranians didn't see this.

... but it didn't repair her wretched reich-wing heart.
To borrow from Mike Malloy: Gawd, how I despise these people ...
Oh, and thanks, Moosegirl, for tipping your bloody hand. War within the first 100 days? Nice.
Another thing, Caribou Barbie: We never were at war with Iraq. It was, and still is, an illegal and immoral invasion and occupation. Got that, Miss Alaska?
Greata is even uglier since she had her face lifted! The way she talks, it looks like the surgeon fucked up a nerve in her jaw!
...or is she just the groundbreaker for the "talk out of one side of your mouth" technique to which Rachel Maddow also subscribes? (I love Rachel, but let's face it, lip and jaw movement should not be limited to one side of one's mouth barring anything short of a stroke.
Greta peaked during the OJ trial. Her ship sailed long, long ago.
Actually there is a disease that causes one to speak like that. The former Prime Minister of Canada (Jean Cretien) suffered from it. Come to think of it, I don't remember if he spoke from the left, or, from the right, but this being Canada and that being the US, it must have been the left.
Just breaking: I've had several emails about Vicki Iseman agreeing to give an interview to major news channels tomorrow or Monday and "dish" the details of her affair with John McCain while flying around with him during the primaries.
In addition, she's promising to dish the details about the "RNC hush money" for her to "get lost until after the election".
This will be good, folks so pop the popcorn now!

... because the link you provided references something from February.
I'll believe it when I see it but then again maybe she has an axe to grind with McCain! That would be to cool!
shoot...if he was having an affair with iseman, i give him props
at least one part of his body is still working
the man has surrounded himself with lobbyists
how the fuck is that reform?
Sounds like she's been chatting with heir cheney.
And on the topic of madam palin, is this really appropriate for a vp candidate?

I guess after cheney this is the new standard?
"There will be more wars my friends..."
John McCain
this buffoon's first hundred days will be spent digging herself out of the quagmire she's created for herself in Alaska! That's where this fraud will be.
You're all over the map.
If something indeed is breaking, let us know. Otherwise, enough with the unfounded teasers.
Poor, poor greta. Methinks the botox has had an effect on her brain. To get her to the frozen-faced point she is now, they must have had to inject a very large amount of the muscle toxin...
palin is simply dangerous, and anyone who doesn't believe it just doesn't understand the dangerous level of her religiosity and fairy tale beliefs.
.. if we could arm the bears and caribou and moose ...
... and have them take some nice pot-shots at Miss Klondike? RIght out there on the frozen tundra! Make her flee for safety in a frozen burrow!
Yes, I do support the right to arm bears!
And, yes, that's a disgusting T-shirt, typical of murderous Republicans ...
If we can bear arms, why not arm bears?
Hunting because there is no other way to get food is one thing- but people who hunt and kill animals with assualt rifles just for the thrill of killing are truly sick people..
... and then has Piper or Track or Bristol or Kumquat or one of her other oddly named offspring kneel in the bloody snow with her.
She's a sick woman -- and stupid to boot.
You are so over head in this.
This just tells me Palin knows that a McCain administration will expand war into Iran- a nightmare scenario that could lead to WW3 (which is what the 'end of time' Christian nuts want), and/or cause the US to collapse into smaller nation states like the late USSR.
The numerous infomercials that Greta the Stenographer has put together for Palin , illustrate the total disregard for the truth and objectivity this so called lawyer has and to call them " interviews " is a joke , when all of Faux News has the same agenda , get em in office . And actually I'm less concerned with her lack of knowledge, than her militaristic, pro occupation and the neocon agenda of full spectrum dominance of the middle east and this tired, over blown litmus test for Israel is really ridiculous , Israel is the middle east super power with over 200 nukes, the 4th largest and powerful military in the world, perfectly capable of taking care itself, once it gets off the U.S. welfare role .
One thing I know for sure.....that this country will emit a collective "ahhhhhh" once we no longer have to listen to this hysterical, moose-pissed moron any more. In households across this country, we will be rid of this "token female tool" with the screeching voice reading her teleprompter ad nauseum without a single, original or creative thought in her pea-sized brain!
On Wednesday we can ship this fraud back to where she came from and let her fellow alaskans knock her back down to size.....the ethically-challenged, corrupt size. Jail is too good for this criminal who had her house paid for (thank you Greta Botox for your First Dud interview!) by Spenard Building Supply just like Ted Stevens....then we can dig into how much funding indicted Ted Stevens gave to Sarah Palin for her campaign for governor....this is definitely NOT OVER for this Republican shill....not in the least.
And that they come with some consequences. And in 2010, we can only hope that McCain will also be gone from the Senate, knocked out by Democrat Janet Napolitano. Yesssss!
Ho hum...another war...just another day at the office...
My word this woman is scary!!
We in the 'the rest of the world' are also incredibly worried at the possibility of her & McCain running the show in the U.S.
The voting irregularities that keep surfacing are extremely frightening.
So hard to listen to these boobs (No pun intended).
One other thing I know for sure....Palin is now currently under investigation of another kind: fraud in being reimbursed for illegal expenses for her children's travel (she knew this and called back frantically to her office to "cook the books"; thankfully, the "original books" are also available to the DA so it's becoming a huge problem for Simple Sarah at this point.
Add to that the expanded notoriety the Palin's will receive regarding how they paid for their house on the lake......and it promises to be something which will drag this fraud through the courts for a long time.
I saw Bob Dole on Letterman or TDS a few years ago, and he said from inside the campaign, you are always told how great things are going, how well you've done, that a 'loss really ISN'T a possibility' mindset is not present.
He said that made it even more devastating to lose -- the 'not-seeing-it-coming' part.
He he, you evil bastards. I hope for that kind of devastation for you. Just so you have a small inkling of what being kicked in the guts is like. Because [since '94, The Contract on America], when we've told you how shitty it feels and ask you to stop it, you don't listen.
I hope we have your full attention on Wednesday, bitches.
your comment make sense. It's like they don't see it. Well, I do. For example, the huge numbers of people at Obama's rallies vs. the underwhelming amount of people at McCain's (last weekend here in NM, I was part of the 40-45,000 proud attendees at Obama's rally. That morning, about 1500 people went to McCain's rally), and the sheer numbers of Obama yard signs & bumperstickersm, far outnumbering the other guy's; to me, it's like the Rethugs are in such a fantasy land that they can't even see how MOST of the U.S. feels. Lot more anti-McCain/ Palin/ GOP folks out there than they care to admit.
I think there's a method to their madness and I wouldn't be at all shocked if ALL campaigns practice it to some extent.
That is, keeping the candidate fluffed so they can keep performing. If the candidate is deflated by harsh criticism or bad news, there won't be a money shot.
Nothing drives people away faster than the stench of loss (or imminent death -- death being the ultimate loss of control and power) in politics.
The mistress who could destroy the man who could become president - I believe this story is coming through the UK and surfacing again. Stay tuned.

But I am going to be crass...
With regards to the Diceman (regarding the pic in the above article)...
Vickie, Vickie, such a sickie
Trim that bush, it's do damned icky
(Or get a looser dress!)
There is nothing new here. She says it didn't happen. Why are you wasting your time on a non-scandal from feb?
Don't waste our time with old news. Such teasers only serve to get our hopes up ...
Well, at least she said she'd immediately gather her national security team immediately in the case of a national security crisis. That's more than Bush did when he learned we were under attack. :(
if mccain does get into the oval office Palin won't have much involvement in the first 100 days.she will
continue her mascot duties. Palin is over her head kinda like Putin's head over alaska.
Who helped her count to 100?
Iran and Iraq?
Holy crap I didn't even imagine things were that bad.
That a governor of the strongest military force in the world can know so little about so many things.
Fucking right wing ideologues.
How can she know anything about Iran? She can't see it from Alaska, after all. But maybe she has a Persian carpet in the governor's mansion. I'm just waiting for her enablers to say (as they always do) that, even if she does become president, she doesn't need to know about this because she'll have advisers.
You betcha! Even the Gallup organization finally has to come clean about their very confusing new polling (trying anything to make things look better than they are for their failing horse in this race?). You betcha!
But they've finally come clean and have now admitted that between Tuesday and Today (Saturday), McCain has descended four (4) points! This is major!
During this same time interval, Obama has risen two (2) points! This is also major at this point in the race.
This is great news for Obama and I'm happy that the Gallup organization who has always been respected for their truthful and competent polling in this country decided finally to "save themselves from extinction".
Check this out!
http://www.gallup.com/poll/111679/Gallup-Dail...
Looks like this race is getting looser rather than tighter. Today Gallup has Obama up 11 points over McCain. I'd say that, if this is the last leg of this race, things are looking great for an Obama victory.
It's about time these pollsters come clean! The pulse of the people enthusiastically supporting Obama has become palpable and, as Rasmussen reports, you can tell the Obama supporters because they are happy this weekend; in contrast, Republiscum are gloomy this weekend because they see the handwriting on the wall.
I guess McCain's "internals" (polls taken by Cindy, his daughter, and his sidekick) are the only ones breaking for him?
This triumverate of intelligence (Cindy, Moosey, and Daughter) together may comprise the intellect of one average human being -
It's called the "Axis of Delusion".
Republicans gloomy is right. From YouTube they don't even have the energy to send me nasty mail anymore. Used to be, every day there were a dozen (you know: fuck off and die you stupid Canadian. America rules, get used to it. Etc.). These days, none.
She gives political discussion the worst name possible. I will be glad on Nov. 4, when I no longer have to listen to her again.
Now we know what their plan is. Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran!
... just like Shrub and OJ Simpson and others ... always in denial, always blaming others, never saying sorry, never taking personal responsibility, devoid of empathy, comfortable with lying and double talk, always projecting false confidence, hubris and bravado ...
She's the perfect example of "arrogance meets ignorance."
Add to this lead the deposition of Mike Connell who has admitted already that he, Blackwell, and Rove stole the 2004 election and has provided schematic drawings of how they expedited this MIM attack to change the results of the machines in Ohio....and I'd say that the heinous, criminal connection between Bush and McCain will be forever and indelibly imprinted on the minds of every american.
No, Not this time!
I don't know if you had seen this but, we can't rest until all the machines are gone.

He won't say a word, except to his lawyer who will be sitting next to him.
That was painfully stupid.
Looks like Zogby Poll will become an irrelevant cipher in the polling world. Huffpo just released their neat little "trick" - which is as old as the hills - underrepresenting Democrats in their polling.
Get a life, Zogby! The world is passing you and your shenanigans by!
Nice try but americans will soon put you out to pasture where you legitimately belong.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/01/zogb...
Anything you read with Zogby's name on it, do not believe a word of it now. ZOGBY CANNOT BE TRUSTED AND HAVE BEEN OUTED.
[Roz, would you quit going off topic? Thank you-Sitemonitor]
Not to toss out a negative for the sitemonitor but, if it is relevant to this election, it shouldn't be off topic.
[Well, let's just call everything an open thread then, huh? That's not how it works here ron, and you know it.
Right now, posters are being allowed a lot of leeway in posting, but Roz has been hopping from thread to thread, spamming albeit important, but still off topic info. This was the first time I asked her to stop the off topic posting, and I deleted another Zogby parent thread in this thread that went up after my request.
In other words ron, please butt out. Thank you-Sitemonitor]
I know not what went before, but offer a suggestion: a Midday Open Thread, every day, is a great idea. Sometimes we're busting at the seams, and can't wait until 7 p.m.. And now I'll not say more.
How very appropriate for the scary horror movie that is Palin and cryptkeeper McCain.
Can she ever just answer a question without going off on tangents? I'm still waiting for her answer.
She and McCain scare the hell out of me. They are unhinged and dangerous.
Grasp the subject, the words will follow.
Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)
Sarah (Cheney v2.0) is as dumb as bag of diapers, and speaking of Cheney v1.0....
Cheney endorses McCain...finally.
With this timing, I think Darth is in the tank.
Tank top?
She sounds like an idiot. Gosh Darn!!
As for Winky Seccessionist....that is one hopelessly dumb bitch.
Considering all the talk about BushCo invading after the election, maybe it was a slip (you know, "inside words" coming out...)
Naw, BushCo couldn't be so dumb as to let Caribou Barbie in on the plan, could they?
But is it possible that no one caught that? Has Fox been promoting that we actually ARE at war with Iran? It doesn't seem that even the dumb and dumber amongst us wouldn't know that.
I don't know, but any serious journalist should have followed up on that. And they wonder why we disdain the MSM. Would Fox call that librul bias: asking what she meant?
Period.
all stop 'demonizing' this fine woman or more Obama workers will quit and vote McShame. That's what Rush said. He wouldn't lie. Would He?
He would and certainly does, but he would never lie about that.
makes me ill
compare this scene to scenes where obama is with michelle and the kids
he wont talk policy...they talk about family issues...and the kids talk
palin has created a gaggle of full retards
i pray she jumps to the head of the line for 2012
dems stay in power forever
The only call she's getting at 3 A.M. is to tell her that another of her delightful progeny is drunk and pregnant or in jail for cutting the brake lines on school buses.
I can't believe that there are people out there who honestly believe that Sarah Palin will be a viable front-runner candidate to face Obama when he runs for his second term.
That's just about as logical as the whole man co-existed with dinosaurs crap.
The question that we should be asking if McSane is lucky enough to have the Supreme Court choose him as president is, How long, in dinosaur years, did dinosaurs live past the age of 72?
3 more days until this pig in lipstick fades into oblivion.
Americans should be absolutely furious with the Republican Party for putting them in this inconceivably dangerous situation wherein this women,THIS WOMAN,could--however remote the chance--seize the reigns of power.The most powerful office on Earth occupied by an extreme right wing radical nut case.Its inexcusable.
It's reassuring to know that the majority of Americans have finally, after suffering two terms of the Bush fiasco, joined the rest of the world in acknowledging the failures of the right wing element of the Republican party. Welcome aboard.
...from a pig with lipstick?
Not blinkin'. I don't want my preznit blinkin'. No blinkin' allowed. This is a No-Blink Zone.
What an idiot. And that voice. I can't imagine listening to that voice shrieking out platitudes for four years.
The Winky and Blinky Show.
The Winky, Blinky, and Nod Show.
Or as Palin herself would correctly pronounce it:
The Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod Show.
Here I am ..er... laughin' to keep from cryin'.
*gRoAn*
I wonder if she could name the nations that border Iraq, but I also wonder if Bush could.
No.
Probably not, like most Americans, and it scares the bejezuz out of me. Let's bomb places we know nothing about.
I often assume everybody knows such basic knowledge, but I guess they simply don't.
Or was it an inadvertent leak of the foreign policy of President McCain? Loose lips ...
Yes.
Why has this not been on something besides FOX? Does no one watch FOX anymore?
if the good folks at Crooks and Liars were Fox's last viewers, but no one yet realized it.
but nobody was around to hear it, would it still be noise?
according to palin, the end of days are upon us. fortunately sarah keeps talking and prevents us all from obliteration. war with iran? a bit of a freudian slip, one that foresees what she wants in the future: the holy war to end all holy wars.
according to palin, the end of days are upon us. fortunately sarah keeps talking and prevents us all from obliteration.
Hoooooo Aggghhhh!
quite possibly she has been briefed that we are in fact going to be at war with Iran by january
that's what I was also thinkin' yew betcha. Mighta' had a secret meeting in the man-size safe with McCheney where he spilled.....
Or, Maybe McGoo shared is plans to Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran - 'casue he knows she'll need to practice some before that - to make sure she Winks and doesn't5 Blink.
Or, I guess it's entirely possible that she's been havin' again a conversation with her lord and master..
.......and Todd said, yep we're takin' down Iran.
Shouldna that be debriefed?
When you send people out on missions, you brief them—give them information they’ll need. You give them a briefing. When they come back, you debrief them by asking them what they did and found out.
Granted, there is no shortage of unsettling qualities to this ignorant, bubbleheaded adolescent, but what grates my frontal lobes is her continuous conversational frame of reference that is, at base, a quasi-reiligious form of dissociated, free-floating abstractions. It's like listening to one of those children who has been raised in a Spockian, narcissistic, "grow her self-esteem", "you're so precious" family environment. Almost psychotic, actually.
The war in Iran isn't going that well and needs to be "shored up".
That's all. We just need reinforcements.
When she was asked about Afghanistan she said its an urban legend.
The war with Iran will be a cake walk.
"Vote for Dumb and Dumber" should be the motto for the McCain-Palin ticket. The coverage on this latest gaffe of hers is for the most part non-existent only because the MSM needs to keep this race appearing "too-close-to-call" for all the usual reasons.
I'm no expert on tells or body language, but I do find it unusual that Palin uses her hands to "say" or "accentuate" what it is her words mean.
Watch it closely.
Notice that when she says "team" she clenches her fist.
When she says "strategy" she uses both hands and moves them to and fro', fingers extended.
When she says "confident" again she clenches her fist.
When she says "final days of the campaign" she winks and uses each hand with a finger extended as if giving directions on where it might lead.
When she says "still as a bit of an underdog" she makes an under motion with her hand.
When she says "but realizing that Americans are beginning to hear" she moves her hand toward her ear.
When she says "...spreading the wealth. Taking more from" she uses her hands in a spreading motion and then does a pulling motion on "taking".
I could go on with more examples, but I think you get the point.
My impression is that Palin is either using her hands to assure the "children" (voters) that she indeed wants them to understand her deeper meaning, or she is trying to shore up the demographic of the deaf and hard of hearing voting block, or she is showing off the fact that she is the Alaskan Charades champion!
Hands are what you use when your mind fails you.
I wonder what sarah would say my hands are saying as they are so often occupied?
I sit quietly clenching my teeth.
Acting like her quote suggests that she would like to go to war with Iran is nuts. In the most reasonable reading, "these wars" does not refer to a non-existent or future war with Iran.
...in the interview she mentioned Iran as one of the places that we are at war.
"...and really shore up the strategies that we need over in Iraq and Iran to win these wars..."
Uh, since we are clearly not at war with Iran (yet) there is NO reasonable reading of this quote. That's the point.
There is no reading of this by any rational mind that suggests she is anything but an unqualified, batshit crazy dolt. But thanks for playing.
These wars refers to Afghanistan and Iraq (or maybe "On Terror"). The need for a new strategy with Iraq so that we can succeed in Iraq and Iran has been a constant theme of the campaign.
OF course she's an unqualified dolt. But this incident is at worst, a verbal mismathc.
I see old super pussy is up on her current events. But you can't be critical as current events in Alaska is when your teenage daughter gets knocked up and you plan for the shotgun wedding at the firehouse and invite everybody in the trailer park :-)
... that the White Trash Palins were planning to share with America on the eve of the election?
Maybe the high-achievin' Levi got cold feet ...
Let's just hope she is talking out of her ass like she usually does, and not repeating something she overheard from Granpa and the rest of his gang. Cheney had the attack and occupation of Iraq all planned before they were officially installed into the presidency. Who knows, maybe the fix is in and Granpa really will be our next president.
The thing that chaps my chaps is although the larger percentage view sarah as no where near qualified to be running for vice president, they still think she's charming and real.
I find her as grating as parmesan cheese.
Palin asked 'if somebody is actively attacking the 51st state...'
Palin: "defending the homefront..." !!!WTF
Do they pay US taxes, do they vote in US elections, do they adhere to US laws on civil and human rights (or even UN rules) !?
Theres a serious disconnect between actual and fantasy US land boundaries in some peoples minds.
Oh so funny
It helps she cant really understand the racy heavy french accented english,
somebody with a better ear would have twigged very early on.
Theres one bit where Palin hears "from my house I can see Belgium"
he actually says "from my arse I can see Belgium" LMAO
Goes fine for nearly six minutes then they announce who they are.
Palins' monitoring staffers freak and put the phone down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbEwKcs-7Hc
I've mostly thought of myself as an atheist, and Sarah Palin scares the crap out of me. I can't believe what she said and Gratin or Gretin or whatever her name was doesn't even blink or look awkward.
If she wins, I think I'm going to start praying to God!
I don't watch Greta that often, but I've always had the impression that she was one of the few "fair and balanced" ones on Fox. However, in the last couple of months, when I have turned on her show, she does seem to be more pro-McCain/Palin than I thought she would be.
Very sad, especially considering that dimwit Palin. She is one dangerous, know-nothing woman.
McCain starts his voter fraud plan before election day!
A must see for this tuesday... Because this could be you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGF-HEd6XnA
Within 100 days of a McCain Presidency, you WILL be at war with both Iraq & Iran.
The fix is in just like it was for Bush when he was smiling as he watched the Florida results coming in during the 2000 election.
To the Guy who says Shrub and O.J Are in denial and will be.
Remember: OJ NOW IS GOING TO SPEND HIS TIME FOR LIFE BEHIND BARS.
He got too cocky and was nailed, recently.
But We should all celebrate By WATCHING the movie 'Nalin Palin'
the day after the GOOD results.And Making some more home movied:
Like Palin does PoJO
Palin does more PoJo.
And Boot her back to the Bering straits where The Russians can have here.
That Final movie before She Dissappears into the darkness whre she came from ,and takes her scumbag stink with here would be would be "Palin Does MoJO".
