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.

Oh yeah – Newt’s got his work cut out for him beating up on Colmes after Rove turned him into hamburger atoms last night.

fiatboomer on September 18, 2008 at 9:43 PM

C’mon, Sean…you could’ve asked her about immigration!

But I get what you’re saying about “authentic”.

SouthernGent on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

But I don’t mean to scare anyone- the McCain team will never let her loose on CNBC.

foreverright on September 18, 2008 at 9:39 PM

Maybe you missed the interview with Maria that played every night for a week after she was named the nominee. Who’s the dumbass, now?

Editor on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

foreverright: You’re the idiot. What degrees do you hold? What do you do for a living?

Phashawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww….

Others mentioned Lincoln and Reagan as heroes. I’ll put Golda up there with them any day.

“Authentic” – also known as Daylight to Democrat Vampires.

Seven Percent Solution on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

Personality= A+
Knowledge= A
Public Speaking= A
Gravitas= C

She needs to start showing some dominance and authority. If she get’s that, she’s got it licked.

Now… for the important analysis: Is it just me or does she get hotter every time she’s on TV?

Damiano on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

That will be a riot. If anyone asks a difficult question as in the Clinton interview, there will be a riot. Then again, she will have had a month to memorize her lines.

foreverright on September 18, 2008 at 9:42 PM

Noted that you would not accept your false premise.

And now move on to accusing her of being a robot.

Got anything else to add?

lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

I don’t know what you guys think; but this was not a “softball” interview. Yes, Hannity tee’d her up a few times; but I really got to know her all over again after these interviews.

tdavisjr on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

He’s still bitter she didn’t get it. That and he’s an egomaniac too

What part of his economic analysis do you disagree with? Or are you incapable of judging the topic because it’s over your head? Do you disagree with his comments about giving Lehman a bailout?

foreverright on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

Barack Alinsky’s heroes?
My mom.
My typical white grandmother.
Um, um, um, Bill Ayers.

carbon_footprint on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

Damiano on September 18, 2008 at 9:44 PM

What’d you want her to do? Kick hannity in the ass for mis-stating that wooten was fired? And knee him in the nads for asking the “sell af2 on ebay” question.

Well. Now that you mention it….

lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:45 PM

Yeah. It’s a special about oil drilling and energy. Media Bistro said that she’s the primary guest on the show.

lorien1973 on September 18, 2008 at 9:43 PM

…whew*….okay.

I’ve seen her interviewed about oil/energy and it’s definitely her strong suit……but if they decide to go after her on foreign policy……..

FiveWays on September 18, 2008 at 9:45 PM

That will be a riot. If anyone asks a difficult question as in the Clinton interview, there will be a riot. Then again, she will have had a month to memorize her lines.

foreverright on September 18, 2008 at 9:39 PM

Wrong. The correct answer is: She been on CNBC several times in the past few months, and her performances were stellar.

Thank you for playing our game. Please accept this home version of our game as a parting gift.

Colmes is going to cry by the end of the week.

Alan Colmes needs to tape his left eyebrow down.

Alan Colmes getting his ass handed to him tonight to go with his cajones from last night.

They are openly laughing at Alan…as am I.

SouthernGent on September 18, 2008 at 9:47 PM

LOL…..Colmes comes off like Captain Bennington questioning Lt Commander McHale.

Bu bu bu biden is a better ticket. skeletor couldnt go to commercial fast enough.

Alan Bozo Colmes, commedian to the political stars!

common sensineer on September 18, 2008 at 9:48 PM

That’s the way it should be. Every time Colmes asks a question, the interviewee should just laugh for 15 or 20 seconds and then talk to Hannity.

KSgop on September 18, 2008 at 9:48 PM

Wow… Skeletor made me laugh… at his own expense.

“We’re here all week, tip your waitresses.”

Fixed that for you before you’re called a racist.

SouthernGent on September 18, 2008 at 9:48 PM

Maybe you missed the interview with Maria that played every night for a week after she was named the nominee. Who’s the dumbass, now?

Everyone saw the softball, feel good interview about Alaska oil. It didn’t touch upon serious issues of economic policy. Compare it to what Clinton was asked. Why do you think it didn’t cover any other topics? Do you know how these types of one topic interviews are usually arranged?

foreverright on September 18, 2008 at 9:49 PM

Hey, when did Hannity & Colmes become must-see TV?

Oh, and I understand why Colmesey gets all that hate mail from lefties.

fiatboomer on September 18, 2008 at 9:49 PM

Newt’s getting a kick out of Colmes.

Joe Biden is not the best pick that Obama could have made. In fact, Joe Biden said so himself. “She might have been a better pick….”

Colmes is so lost in his liberalism.

tru2tx on September 18, 2008 at 9:51 PM

Bubba is unable to conceal his admiration of or attraction to Sarah Palin while he is talking about her.

He may be thinking, “She is gonna kick Obama’s ass and that makes me very happy.”

And I love Palin’s red pumps. I adore red shoes and have a closet full of them. That’s stupid, I know, but what can I say? Palin is the “IT” gal. She’s just got it.

SouthernGent on September 18, 2008 at 9:52 PM

I said it last night and I’ll say it again:

Let Palin spend a week with Newt and Rove.

THAT’S ALL SHE’LL NEED. PERIOD.

FiveWays on September 18, 2008 at 9:53 PM

“There is no evidence Joe Biden has contributed very much to anybody.” LOL

KSgop on September 18, 2008 at 9:53 PM

Alan is embarrassing himself again. He sounds like an 8 year old.

geckomon on September 18, 2008 at 9:53 PM

No Alan- that’s exactly what he said, “Pay up for the government I want us to have”

anniekc on September 18, 2008 at 9:53 PM

Biden PWNED by Newt on charity HA!

common sensineer on September 18, 2008 at 9:53 PM

Biden on patriotism. Idiot. Patriotism isn’t when you are coerced or forced to do something. Patriotism comes from the heart, something you voluntarily do for country.

uncalheels on September 18, 2008 at 9:53 PM

I think someone needs to name a cigar after Alan Colmes. He seems to get smoked nightly.

Patrick S on September 18, 2008 at 9:53 PM

Aw, Sean’s back on. I was enjoying this.

Yes, you sound like the type who uses colon cleansing products. If you didn’t spend so much time ‘entertaining yourself’ in front of the TV late at night, you wouldn’t have to watch all those infomercials and feel obligated to constantly place orders.

Then again, you probably didn’t know that the colon isn’t located at the back of your throat and that the color cleanser isn’t used as a mouthwash. Palin supporters often need extra help.
