Open thread: Part two of Palin on “Hannity & Colmes”
posted at 8:30 pm on September 18, 2008 by Allahpundit
Judging from last night’s ratings, Palinmania’s alive and well. Sound off below if you’re watching, which you are. She gets off a couple of good lines in the leaked excerpts, especially the one directed at Biden. For the record, she probably would have been in fourth grade, not second, when Greasy Joe was first sworn in. And The One would have been just warming up to junior high.
While you wait, a video treat courtesy of CNBC. Click the image and skip ahead to 2:55 to watch. Surely a man who’d just wowed the faithful with a ringing endorsement of Obama at the convention would seize the chance to lay waste to the Republican newbie, right? See for yourself. Exit quotation from the same interview: “I’ve never concealed my admiration and affection for Senator McCain. I think he’s a great man.” Awesome.

“I think she’s got good int-er-ah…”
We know what “good” things you think she has, Slick Willie. We know. Don’t care.

Ha. Bill Clinton just makes me laugh sometimes. Good segment on Palin.
BTW, when is CNBC gonna make their videos embeddable!?!
CP on September 18, 2008 at 8:41 PM
LOL Meg Kelly giving it to O’Reilly right now.
carbon_footprint on September 18, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Allah, that was comedy GOLD. Nuance in the extreme.
fiatboomer on September 18, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Wild theory…
Bill talks about Hillary stumping, Hillary’s economic plan, complement’s Palin and stutters over “I…I…If something were to happen at the debates…”
Ya think Bill and Barry talked about throwing Hair Plugs under the bus if he louses up the debate?
Damiano on September 18, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Does O’Reilly even have a law degree? He’s pretty bossy for someone who doesn’t.
anniekc on September 18, 2008 at 8:47 PM

Prediction: Palin de-balls Biden by reminding the country that, for all his foreign policy experience, he had wanted to divide Iraq into 3 parts. Game over.
Godzilla on September 18, 2008 at 8:48 PM
One Clinton quote we can believe. “I did not have sex with that woman…..Ms. Palin. Not a single time… NEVER!”
She’s armed to the teeth!
roninacreage on September 18, 2008 at 8:49 PM
Perhaps that should have been eviscerated Biden…it’s not certain that he has balls.
Godzilla on September 18, 2008 at 8:50 PM
You know, you’ve got to hand it to Billy Jeff. He may be a nudge, but he has cool that goes a lot deeper than Barry can muster. If you could transplant his style, but not integrity into McCain, it would be a cakewalk.
Star20 on September 18, 2008 at 8:53 PM
That’s the winning answer to any Iraq question.
If I remember Biden’s record properly, he’s been on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision for 20 years. Wrong on the first Gulf war (voted against it). Wrong on Iraq – wanted to lose and split iraq into 3 parts. and wrong on the surge. And now he claims some sort of experience on the issue?
Too bad it won’t happen. Iraq is taboo. the media says it doesnt favor democrats therefore you shalt not mention it.
lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Clinton interview was good. Very presidental. Not a big fan of Clinton but if Obama could protray 1/10th of clinton’s character this election would be over. Next to clinton obama looks like a little child. I noticed that he only said Obama sould win because of circumstances not because Obama was a good canidate. he did give a shout out to McCain and Palin. A better endorsement than he gave to Obama. not alot of love there..
I’m just waiting for Clinton to endorse McCain at the end of Oct. After the debates.

LOL. Imagine, if you will, a 10′ x 10′ cell, a bunk bed and an enormous, bald-headed man named Butch McDick saying,”You mah b!tch now.”
LOL.
ManlyRash on September 18, 2008 at 8:56 PM
Bill O’Reilly had a good segment on Biden “we’re going to TAKE your money” and bashed Palin’s Canadian-press bashers. Looks like he’s working his way from sleeping in the doghouse to letting him sleep on the sofa. A lot of talk last night about Rachel Maddow besting Olbermann ratings wise but some might have missed Drudge had Hannity/Colmes besting Bill-O.
Marcus on September 18, 2008 at 8:57 PM
No no keep the theme:

Time for some more record ratings for Fox….
fiatboomer on September 18, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Will he ask her about immigration? My guess is no. He had almost tewo hours with her and didn’t ask about the giant elephant in the room….lame.
It's Vintage, Duh on September 18, 2008 at 9:00 PM
did they do well for yesterday’s interview?
lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Um, seriously, Hannity is asking Palin harder questions than Gibson and Williams asked Obama. Wow.

Nope. I honestly believe the Clintons are looking at 2012.

You know what woulda been smart? Have Hannity do the shia/sunni question here. In a friendly environment, with a good edit, you could hide any fumble :P
lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:02 PM
For those of you who have a strong stomach and an hour of your life you don’t mind wasting BJ will be on…… THE VIEW Monday: http://www.nypost.com/seven/09182008/tv/bubba_on_view_129701.htm

Okay- when Palin starts talking policy she goes into the choppy scripted cadence……..sigh*…….

Pretty scripted right now – but at least she answers questions without “uh uh uh ummm I’ve always said”

She didn’t falter like that with Gibson either.

If she says I can see russia from alaska, I’m gonna be sick!
lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Motivating – I like that.
tru2tx on September 18, 2008 at 9:06 PM
In my opinion the “Bush DOctrine” is a liberal title to Bush policies toward terrorism. There is no literal, bound copy of any document called the Bush Doctrine.
cannonball on September 18, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Lorien, that was a edit hack job. Read the full transcript.

You know what I like about Hannity? He can speak without veins bulging out of his neck and spittle flying. Not that anybody DOES that! I’m just sayin’…….

“Wasilla”? I thought it was pronounced “Wasilly”.
carbon_footprint on September 18, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Sean kind sorta threw eight questions into the “Bush Doctrine” question.

Whoa–great answer on the Obama question there.

krauthammer created the term.
lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:07 PM
So are conservatives going to get a rebuttal interview the next time Obama or Biden are interviewed?

nickj116 on September 18, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Poor Colmes. He looks like he lost his balls last night. Oh, wait! He did!
SouthernGent on September 18, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Maureen Dowd makes much of the fact that Sarah sometimes doesn’t enunciate – says “‘em”. Well, I’ve noticed that, depending on the audience, Barack gets into the black cadence and says a lot of “You tellin’ me that this economy is gonna be alrigh”. He does it for street cred. Which is worse?
uncalheels on September 18, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Speaking of Biden, where the hell IS Joe Biden?
cannonball on September 18, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Wonder if Rove will be on again tonight for round two of the Alan Colmes butt kicking….
“you are embarrassing yourself, Alan”
PRICELESS!

Oooo another commercial for the biden special. can’t wait to see it! :P
lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Yip! I remember Obama sounding like this earlier on; but he seemed to get better over time. She will be the same way. She’s got 2 more weeks to work on this before the Biden debate.
tdavisjr on September 18, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Remember how “Columbo” always blew away his nemesis’ by being kind of dopey and vague, and then totally turned on them? This is how I see Sarah Palin in Washington
anniekc on September 18, 2008 at 9:09 PM
smurf yeah!
cannonball on September 18, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Since we’re on the subject, Biden can play Gargamel.
fiatboomer on September 18, 2008 at 9:10 PM
I am SO tired of these cialis ads. I’m dreading the day my <10 year old daughter asks me “what is a four hour erection, daddy?”
cannonball on September 18, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Obama doesn’t do it for street cred- he does it because he thinks he’s just that cool! My husband and I are still howling over his polahceeees
anniekc on September 18, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Is it just me or did Bill Clintons posture change and his yes light up when Palin was mentioned?
Bet Old Slick Willy would love to have a go at it ;)
Borislav on September 18, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Hannity is dropping the ball though.
He should have done the sunni/shia question here – so it’s off the table later.

Heeeeeeey this is sponsored by an oil company!/

carbon_footprint on September 18, 2008 at 9:12 PM
She’s too long winded on some of these foreign policy questions. I mean, the question of which countries are the biggest threat today. That’s easy. Just start listing them without any long explanation.
tdavisjr on September 18, 2008 at 9:12 PM
God she’s got a great smile…
cannonball on September 18, 2008 at 9:13 PM
You know what I see in her……….. VERY comfortable in her skin.
You know what I see in Obama/Biden/Clinton/Pelosi/
Reid/MSM/Democrats et al………. what lie did I tell yesterday, what lie do I tell today, and what lie do I tell tomorrow………?
……….. as for Colmes, the Crypt Keeper is starting to sweat, and that colon cleansing he got from Karl Rove last night was priceless!
Seven Percent Solution on September 18, 2008 at 9:13 PM
I want her. No. I mean it. I want her.
Star20 on September 18, 2008 at 9:13 PM
tdavisjr, I think she’s a little long winded on many of her answers. I think she will learn to be more concise as time goes on.

lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:16 PM
I love Sarah like a fat kid loves cake, but sometimes she speaks like she’s transliterating Japanese.
fiatboomer on September 18, 2008 at 9:16 PM
At least they aren’t giving some democrat hack a chance to throw a wet blanket on things (other than Colmes).
SouthernGent on September 18, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Okay… doing *much* better in today’s segment(s). (In my own tendentious opinion… :-)
Seems to me there’s a danger in mentioning Russia in the same breath with Iran et al, in the list of the world’s most troublesome countries. (In perceptions at least – in “ruffled feathers”, obnoxious follow-ups by MSM journalists, etc.)
Hope she meant to do it. But, I say, roll the dice & go for it! (It’s certainly true, so what the hell…)
Anyhow: Great point! “Hired by *Americans*”! Bwahahahaha!!! :-D YES!
RD on September 18, 2008 at 9:17 PM

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/obama-wants-transient-backers-to-vote-in-battlegrounds-2008-09-18.html
Obama’s campaign website is telling democrats to remain registered in key battle ground states, and vote there, even though they do not live in the state anymore.
Obama is taking up ACORN’s playbook, huh?
Enoxo on September 18, 2008 at 9:17 PM
“Biden was elected when I was in 2nd grade.” haha

Enoxo,
i think kerry did the same thing. Didn’t helphim much though…
Chudi on September 18, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Enoxo, Obama is in a full fledged PANIC. He’s asking everyone he can to knock on doors and argue on his behalf. So much for bringing the country together.
Too bad he can’t give them anything substantive to argue about.
cannonball on September 18, 2008 at 9:20 PM
I think she’s doing fine. If I have to criticize, she sounds a bit like the smart kid in class who’s trying to impress the teacher instead of controlling the interview.
Damiano on September 18, 2008 at 9:20 PM
can’t see the interview till later…how’s it going?
unseen on September 18, 2008 at 9:20 PM
“oh, thank you”– Haha! Adopt me, Sarah.
Pasalubong on September 18, 2008 at 9:20 PM
If the McCain campaign is smart, they’ll have Lieberman play Biden against Palin in their debate rehearsals. As Lieberman and Biden are fairly close as regards social policies, Lieberman will be arguing from conviction–that will force Sarah to be even stronger in her arguments and will prepare her even more for the real deal. Plus, Lieberman’s foreign policy expertise will aid her.
