Jon Stewart calls out Palin's Troopergate lies

Sarah Palin's lies when it comes to what the Troopergate probe found -- i.e. her contention that the report said she did nothing unethical when, in fact, it found that she VIOLATED THE STATE'S ETHICS LAW -- are pretty brazen. At least the Bush administration tried to muddy the waters of their scandals a little bit. But not Palin; she's content with just lying about objective facts and findings. Can we really afford someone like this a heartbeat away? I'm with Cafferty: This woman scares the hell out of me.

"Sarah Palin would love nothing more than to superficially answer all of our shouted questions, but she doesn't have time."

She's wearing Condi's boots.

Did they cost her $7,000? Her Convention speech jacket cost about $3,000. Cindy McMilquetoast's entire outfit cost that much - including the jewelery.

I know why she's wearing boots -- she has to walk through her own shit.

The boots rock. Too bad they aren't on someone else.

We have reached a point of saturation with regard to lies. There have been so many that they have become background noise.

Last 8 years has proved if you say a lie enough times it becames a fact.

The Bush administration was bad when it came to conflation and half truths, but Palin has taken the art of the bald faced lie to a whole new level. This would have been the equivalent of David Kay submitting his report that there were NO WMDs in Iraq, and then having Bush hold a press conference to congratulate the Iraq survey team for finding all the NUCLEAR WEAPONS that Saddam had, and was about to use. It would be the equivalent of Dick Cheney saying the U.S. Army would be greeted as liberators, and then pointing to all the coffins coming home as evidence that the Iraqis were so excited to see the American soldiers that they hugged them to death.

In truth, however, the Bushies would have been even MORE successful in their lies if they'd actually done that! The fact that there is still....what....30% of the American public who think that Saddam was responsible for 9-11 is living proof that 30% will believe the original lie, even after you STOP repeating it. If you KEEP ON repeating it, your approval ratings can only go UP!

So...why doesn't Barack Obama go around telling all the TV cameras that he's WHITE? Bradley Effect nullified, thank you very much.

Forefront noise

Swimming in it

What Troopergate Tells Us About a (God Forbid) Palin Vice Presidency
http://satiricalpolitical.com/?p=3908

let's see abuse of power, wants to have executive privilage, secrecy,cronyism, takes disagreements
personal,lies,avoids the media,anxious....................yup sounds like BUSH and/ or cheney

Wants to change the Constitution to give the VP more power.

They should have made her don skates and drop the puck for the opening faceoff. No courage in that one.

The real reason she did the photo op was to get more international experience. I don't think one player on the Rangers/Flyers are from America. More dollars going overseas.

As long as they don't give her a stick - please don't give her a stick, please . . .

They didn't want her to fall on her ASS either. NOT very presidential. She IS running for president isn't she - she implied as much and that's how she acts . . . .

Best line of the clip, "What's your name?" Priceless

Opiate of the Masses

A Vast Wasteland.

There is to much media. To much television, to much internet, to much entertainment, to much amusement, to much diversion.

It's not solving our problems.

Too much spell-check was conspicuously absent from your list.

Okay, there are to MANY media! Happy, now?

We gave up ALL television over 15 years ago. Let me just say - we don't miss it. It was remarkably easy in retrospect. Honestly. Anyone can do it. And Corporate America doesn't own my kids.

If you care about global warming, you care about saving the economy, and you care about people, all these topics discussed in the media and here are a waste of time.

We have technology today to produce abundant, clean, renewable energy, that could sustain the world forever. A tiny percent of the military budget could give us geothermal energy for the US.

We should all be DEMANDING this, instead of fighting about stupid stuff that won't help any one.

FREE Energy = Freedom

and I heard they are hurting financially.

Everyone seems to be hurting because of the monetary system, but the iceland is a complete success in regards to their energy needs.

Reporter: "What about this report?"
Palin: "I don't see any report (plugs her ears with her fingers) lalalalalalala......."

Later at the stadium...
Palin: "Are they booing my daughter?"
Hockey plater: "No, they're booing you."
Palin: "I can't believe they're booing my daughter! (plugs her ears with her fingers) lalalalalalala......."

She'll make a better Cheney than Dick!

If there is, I don't show one.

The video isn't working.

I agree.
Is it on Youtube already?

Having issues with all Comedy Central vids not playing for me on Firefox...

Same here - I don't even get an empty box to look at.

sad.

McCain's latest pander plan

Oct. 14: John McCain revealed his new economic plan on Tuesday, as Barack Obama took an increasingly large lead in the polls, but is it really a plan or merely a ploy?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/vp/271883...

Palin is a joke and a coward and so is the media. They should just cut off all coverage of her and her running mate until she answers some damn questions. And no the one hour bash Obama specials at Hannitys dont count.

Jon Stewart shouts-out Palin's Troopergate lies.

)O(

and on another planet WcCain is complaining about how all his copyright ripoff adverts are being take down from Youtube and elsewhere due to DCMA violations.

She's a liar! A filthy liar!
Despicable!

Christ, i don't get it that about 40% or more would still vote fore that scam (crap)! Are you stupid? ("MORANS"!)

I have nothing against Sara Palin but, based from her interviews, comments, and remarks, She seems always in a trance and doesn't even know what she's saying. She's like living in her own world like an autistic person. Those are just my observations...

Palin's not autistic! My son is autistic, but he has a lot better focus than she does. A lot more intelligence too!

No - she's certain NOT autistic. She might have AD/HD (I'd bet on it) - but that wouldn't be a problem anyway -- her problem is she's a power-hungry, lie to your face with a smile and a wink-Sociopath. IMO.

I mean - there's a lot of adjectives I could use, but in the interests of posting this quickly . . .

Sarah Palin is NOT autistic! She clearly has ASSBURGER syndrome. Maybe some ADD as well, but she's definitely an assburger.

Hahaha. If I were in Sen. Biden's shoes, I would definitely be insulted and offended - having Sara Palin as a rival is a disgrace and an embarassment. Biden and Palin are really not of the same level. Mccain should have chosen a more decent running mate. Where did his brains go?

I have Asperger......And she is fucking nuts! Beyond fantasy! Fucking loopy!

She's a vicious, power-hungry b**ch. The re-Thuglic party is Home-Sweet-Home to her. She's an amoral killer that brutally, viciously, slaughters innocent, helpless animals. There's not one single speck of humanity in her entire body and soul. Just like Bush and Cheney. She's a sociopath - most re-Thuglics are.

The idea that this monster would be in charge of ANYONE'S well-being - much less the entire country, should send chills down our spines.

Re-thug-lics -- the party of immature, voraciously rapacious, despotic, doughy white, cowardly, angry, bigots, racists, perverts, xenophobes, pedophiles, murderers, war criminals, homophobes, misogynists, self-hating women, fetid wombs and consummate chronic liars.

Just. Like. Cheney.

Summed up in 2:15 and lots of helium

Hated to see the brief 'animal cruelty' portion, but it's also an essential part of the Palin Experience and needed to be included to represent her fully as the dangerous sub-human that she is.

What is it with these GOP idiots that they don't understand PUBLIC SERVANT. They need to answer to the PUBLIC, not hide like Darth Cheney. If they want to be a PRIVATE SERVANT, that's not one you need to run for...

Oh dear, has Comedy Central contacted C&L about the QT/WMP downloads? If not, please continue to post them, as the streaming video quality of the Daily Show/Colbert Report sites just eats.

I liked how the Daily Show lampooned McCain's "fiery new stump speech" that was supposed to be his new gamechanger speech... by showing excerpts side by side with his convention speech... one part after another was identical, so much so that it was almost like he was doing a duet with himself.

reading comprehension is not one of her strong suits

Come on folks.Why is she lying? Because those who know they dont stand a chance to win,say the most outrageous things... they will try to make Obama's campaign as miserable as possible. On the other hand,blame it to ignorant people who buy it.You can't be blamed for being stupid, but when you're ignorant (on purpose too) its a friggin disaster.

T. Golob (an European who supports Obama...)

p.s.:its funny,3 years ago i said to my friend that Obama would be a good candidate... and look at him now - its because of me he is going to take office! :)))
