Video: Fred defends Palin

Maggie Rodriguez seems distinctly less than thrilled to have him there, especially when he brings up Ifill. A good job of good-soldiering, although I’m not sure how well his point about non-lawyers not knowing Supreme Court precedent will play. I brought that up myself yesterday as a possible defense to Palin’s blanking during the Couric interview, but the boss (a non-lawyer) was underwhelmed. Americans like their presidents to be “ordinary” but maybe not that ordinary. To wit, from the new WaPo poll:
Independents now say she’s too inexperienced by a margin of two to one, and more indies say she makes them less inclined to vote for McCain than more so. The good news: Word on the street from Byron York is that debate camp went pretty well. The bad news: Psychics are pessimistic.

Who else will be consuming mass quantities before and during the debate?
lorien1973 on October 2, 2008 at 3:09 PM
And McCain is pulling out of MI. The run begins…
Sue on October 2, 2008 at 3:09 PM
I am not sure what will happen.
Will she epic fail like her interviews?
Or will she be having man-flesh for dinner like her Alaska debates?

Palin v. Biden:
I found it odd that Palin could not name another Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed. After all, we know that she is aware of at least one Supreme Court decision other than Roe v. Wade with which she disagrees. Just over a month ago she criticized the Supreme Court’s decision in the Exxon Valdez case, slashing the punitive damages awarded by the trial court. So did she simply freeze up and forget? Was she afraid of a ‘gotcha’ comeback if she named a specific case? Or is she that much of a knucklehead that she can’t even remember what she thought of the Court several weeks ago? My read of the video is that the first is most likely, but I’m sure others will disagree.
Biden, the constitutional law scholar and former Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, spoke more smoothly and authoritatively on the issue. Yet while his defense of Roe may have sounded thoughtful at a superficial level, it was actually quite incoherent. Instead of saying that he thinks the abortion right is a fundamental liberty that deserves constitutional protection — which he only hinted at later, and would be a more straightforward way to defend Roe and an abortion right under the Constitution — Biden explained that the Court’s decision is “as close to a consensus that can exist in a society as heterogeneous as ours.” Setting aside his focus on Roe, and his description of Roe’s initial holding as if it were still the law of the land and had not been supplanted by Casey’s “undue burden” test, his rationale is problematic on several levels, particularly for someone who holds himself out as an expert on constitutional law…
UPDATE: Brian Kalt has more thoughts on the interviews here. His conclusion:
I would have been much happier if Palin had given better answers to Couric. But her lack of knowledge of constitutional law would assumedly lead her to rely on others for advice on such matters. She doesn’t know, but surely she realizes it. Biden, by contrast, has the smooth confidence of someone who has been immersed in these issues for decades. But he’s wrong. To me, that’s actually scarier.
Volokh Conspiracy on Palin and Biden
Mr. Joe on October 2, 2008 at 3:09 PM
Anti-Fred Anti-Sarah AllahPundit just posted a video of Fred defending the Sarahcuda rather well against a visibly hostile CBS host.
WHEN WILL THE PALIN BASHING END?????
MadisonConservative on October 2, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Biden could flick a lit cigarette at Palin and tell her to “Suck it” during the debate and the MSM will still proclaiom him the winner.
grdred944 on October 2, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Frankly, I’m not worried about Palin. McCain’s the one who needs defending.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 3:11 PM
LOL, you really have lost it.
wise_man on October 2, 2008 at 3:12 PM
Fred is a badass when he’s acting as a talking head. She was working hard to end that interview.
The irony is in front of the video, there was an ad for some CBS show saying, “there are no such thing as psychics”.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 3:12 PM
Oh, dear. Forgot the /sarc tag for the reason-challenged. My apologies.
MadisonConservative on October 2, 2008 at 3:13 PM
That piece by York echoes what I think a great number of us think/feel. Stop smothering the superstar. Give her the green light and let’s get the party rolling again.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 3:16 PM
I’ll be honest, after reading this, I’ve got a big knot in my stomach that isn’t going away, and I can’t concentrate on studying for my midterm lol.
ugggh please Sarah walk out there tonight and devour that old, dumb, bastard.
PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blatantblue on October 2, 2008 at 3:16 PM
I loved how she tried to get him to stop talking when Thompson brought up the fact that the moderator has a financial stake with an Obama win from the sale of her book. That was awesome.
wise_man on October 2, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Agreed. She is more ‘Straight Talk’ than McCain ever dreamed of. He badly fumbled the ‘Bailout’, never understood it’s fallacy that it will never be enough. Then voted for it.
Truth is now coming out in Europe….despite money, the banks still won’t loan. Predicted on these threads a hundred times. They get the bailout and pocket the money. No loans.
So Palin can’t hardly screw up that much. McCain is completely out of touch and letting O’Bama steal the election.
Starlink on October 2, 2008 at 3:17 PM
What I don’t understand is that Biden did not give a coherent answer himself to the Supreme Court question and he is a lawyer..and he gets a pass.
I had hoped that people would see through the crap the press is doing to Palin, and maybe they will in the end. I also think that the expectations of Palin were so high to begin with, it was almost impossible for anyone to live up to that.
Of course if McCain had picked Romney and they were behind in the polls everyone would say it was because Romney had high negatives {which he did} and that McCain should have picked Palin.
Not all the polls give her these kind of numbers either. Battleground and Rasmussen {last time I looked} were better.
I say we wait and see what happens.
Terrye on October 2, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Debate camp? Is that where they got a pro-Obama shill to try and trip up Gov. Palin? I’ll try my hand at being a psychic:
Ifill: Senator Biden, please tell us what your favorite color is.
Biden: Did you see the Lost reruns last week on SciFi? Pretty cool. Lots of waves and trees and hot chicks, much like my opponent over there, saucily showing her cleavage. Shake it, you wanton hussy!
Ifill: Thank you, Senator Biden. Now Sarah, please give me the names of all the people who died when the Titanic sank. You have 30 seconds.
Gov. Palin: I don’t believe that’s enough time to properly answer that sort of question.
Ifill: Just to clarify: you don’t know the answer, right? Okay, moving on.
==================================
I see open-ended questions directed at Biden followed by specific bills still in Congress addenda being thrown at Gov. Palin. In short, I see a screw of epic proportions, with the result preordained by the MSM. “HILLBILLY SARAH KNOWS NOTHING!” After all, it’s not like Ifill has anything to lose here. Her credibility will be shot, but she’ll have more money coming in from her book and people will have forgotten all about her “objectivity” before she shows up on television again. If not, they will be educated on her objectivity.
Physics Geek on October 2, 2008 at 3:19 PM
What, your lameassed strawman?
wise_man on October 2, 2008 at 3:19 PM
Heh. The amusing thing is that AP hasn’t EVER Palin bashed in my recollection. He’s just an ardent pessimist.
TheUnrepentantGeek on October 2, 2008 at 3:19 PM
I don’t know if I can watch tonight, I really don’t. Now McCain is pulling out of MI, and has a whole host of red states (CO, NC, VA, OH, FL, IN, NV, MO) while the blue states slip out of his grasp. He needs a gamechanger…
changer1701 on October 2, 2008 at 3:20 PM
Not as long as they get their news filtered from people in the press like the woman who was interviewing Thompson. For the people who read this site and others every day, it’s very clear.
wise_man on October 2, 2008 at 3:20 PM
Starlink:
This is not Europe and it is not the same kind of plan. Apples and oranges. In fact no matter what they do over there, they will still have problems as long as our system is so mired in uncertainty. They do not know what comes next. What they have accomplished thus far is to tread water. That might not seem like a big deal, but it beats collapse.
Terrye on October 2, 2008 at 3:20 PM
It’s pretty hard to argue against that, imo. McCain completely fumbled the entire bailout, ahem, excuse me, rescue package and gave away any opportunity to show either leadership or economic prowess.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 3:21 PM
I got some Cheetos and I am ignoring the anti-poop right now… wanna share and watch the boobtube during the debate?
upinak on October 2, 2008 at 3:21 PM
So Palin’s answer is: “Well I guess you know for sure that you aren’t voting for another lawyer to rule your life”.
right2bright on October 2, 2008 at 3:21 PM
It’s not as simple as people on both sides are making it out to be. She WAS NOT asked to name any random supreme court case that popped into her head. She was asked to name a supreme court case she disagreed with besides Roe v. Wade. She blanked and that’s not good, but, it’s not fair to say that she blanked when asked to name any supreme court case she could possibly think of.
O/T: In high school, I was on the quiz bowl team. At my very first tournament (which happened to be being filmed for the local cable access show), the answer was “Dred Scott decision”. I blanked and managed to come up with “Dred Lock decision”. Close, but no cigar…..Should I ever run for office, I expect them to dig up that clip and mock me incessantly.
JadeNYU on October 2, 2008 at 3:21 PM
Sara-Cuda comes out tonight. She lays waste to Joe Gasbag. The McCain campaign has held her back, playing rope-a-dope, and now they’re cutting her lose. Once this stupid bailout garbage is settled, one way or the other, McCain and Palin come out naming names and nailing the crap to the foreheads of OBambi, Obiden, Ofrank, ODodd, and OPelosi.
Either that… or they’re hoping for 2012.
AubieJon on October 2, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Raises drink, er, hand
BTW, didn’t the Dems hand in hand with the MSM lower Dear Leader Obamassiah’s expectations for the first debate?
And now they’re raising Gov. Palin’s expectations. Nope, no coordination there.
rbj on October 2, 2008 at 3:22 PM
The MSM have managed to get themselves so excited and tingly about her impending implosion that they’re sure to be disappointed.
A Debate is generally not full of gotcha questions directed to only one candidate.
It doesn’t matter what the media says about the debate, it matters what we think. If we think she did well, things will get back on track.
Feeling slightly hopeful.
Dorvillian on October 2, 2008 at 3:23 PM
wise_man:
I know, but it is also true that fewer and fewer people watch network news. I was reading somewhere that the approval rating in the US of the media was about 14%, puts them right up there with Congress.
So people might not entirely believe them, but then again they still take in the message.
Terrye on October 2, 2008 at 3:23 PM
I think that woman thinks her black pants are hiding the fact that she is a huge a-hole. They aren’t.
bloggless on October 2, 2008 at 3:23 PM
Maggie Rodriguez is going to KILL the people in the control room for not ‘cutting’ when she said “that’s all the time we have”.
GarandFan on October 2, 2008 at 3:23 PM
To think Maggie Rodriguez, a Cuban American (like myself) can be so embarrassingly stupid.
She got owned by Thompson.
She has no clue that Ifill has a financial stake in this election?!
MSM is full of idiots.
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 3:23 PM
That caught me also…she couldn’t back out of that quick enough, so much for being interested in the truth.
Fred should have said “Your reaction is typical of what I am referring to”.
right2bright on October 2, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Got to LOVE that Thompson. He really rocks.
Wish McCain would get some GUTS before it’s TOO late.
Even if Sarah does well, McCain can STILL mess it up.
Conservaboomer on October 2, 2008 at 3:24 PM
What is it with these people. I could have gone after that idiot’s questions ten times better and ten times more aggressively than that. Why don’t they stick up for her???? It’s like all these men are letting themselves be bullied by leftist pansies.

Dred Lock…you poor baby. I bet that still makes you blush.

Orange fingers, here I come.
Didn’t you hear? AllahPundit, I mean, EEYOREPUNDIT makes 10 anti-Palin posts for every one where he supports her!!! Well, if an atheist can support a conservative. And he posts anti-Palin headlines alll the tiiiiiiiime!!! I haaaaaate it!
And also, he’s so whiiiiiiiny!
Just for you, wise_man: /sarc
MadisonConservative on October 2, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Thing is, you were in high school. I think blanking at the quiz bowl is a bit more, um, excusable, than blanking when you’re a heartbeat away from POTUS.
Grow Fins on October 2, 2008 at 3:26 PM
Go Fred!
Love how he threw out Palin being Edited
jp on October 2, 2008 at 3:26 PM
No news, psychics in Obama’s tank predict as they want, not what will be. Let Wormwood be Biden’s burden.
If you believe in THE WILL, then lend your good will towards Palin to enjoy God’s spirit tonight. The Lord moves in mysterious ways.
maverick muse on October 2, 2008 at 3:26 PM
So the joke goes:
The man wakes up with a bright orange dangle, he gets worried and goes to the doctor…the doctor takes one look, runs to his medical books and finds nothing. Asks the man if it is swollen, hurts, stings, and discomfort…there is none.
Doc goes back to medical books, still can’t find anything…asks the man what he did the past 24 hours…answer: Nothing, just sat around eating Cheetos and watching Sarah Palin clips…
right2bright on October 2, 2008 at 3:27 PM
McC is losing a huge opportunity with this bailout crap..but I don’t think he’ll ever learn. Super nervous about tonight- I love Palin and think she can do a good job- hell, I can do better running the country than these clowns. I hope she can prove that tonight- if not we are all doomed and screwed. I’m going to buy a nice new shotgun to make my self feel better.
kareyk on October 2, 2008 at 3:27 PM
If McCain could do what Thompson or Rudy or Newt does in taking it back to the media he’d be tied or up in the polls.
jp on October 2, 2008 at 3:27 PM
That includes AllahPundit and all atheists who are afraid of true conservative ideals and have already voted for Obama in the primaries.
Over…..
Mcguyver on October 2, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Uuummmm…I will.
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 3:28 PM
That’s really a great point. Say McCain dies an extremely painful, but extraordinary quick death about 25 seconds after he is sworn in and Putin calls over to demand her opinion on SC cases she disagreed with. Oh, the humanity!
(This question, much like the Bush doctrine question is criticized by people who couldn’t define either themselves)
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 3:28 PM
AP, why shouldn’t Palin’s numbers be tanking? What the general public sees is not her shortcomings in interviews — most of the masses don’t watch that kind of stuff — but the snarking of the MSM and the attacks on her from her own party, which are instantly splashed as “news” by Osama Obama’s shills.
Hell, look right here in HA! The tone has changed, because everyone knows exactly what she and John McCain should do. They do this, they don’t do that, and all the “experts,” none of whom have faced that kind of scrutiny in their lives, rush out with criticism and second-guessing.
Conservatives can’t be entirely blamed for the MSM’s total obeisance to Obama and visceral hatred of what Palin stands for and who she is, but they are certainly busy fashioning nails to hammer into her coffin.
It makes me ill.
I have always heard that when one is in combat, one should not be thinking about whether they like their fellow soldiers, but should defend them. We are in a war, with stakes that go beyond serious, yet some — too many — are taking potshots at the people who are closest to our beliefs and values.
Those naysayers won’t be saved by their attacks on McCain and Palin when President-For-Life Obama opens the Ministry of Love. They’ll be for Room 101, just like the rest of us.
MrScribbler on October 2, 2008 at 3:28 PM
New poll!
1st question: What real or ordinary job has Obama ever had. (by real or ordinary we mean getting paid by someone other than a foundation or govt. grant or Chicago mobsters)
2nd question: If Joe Biden died while in office, would Obama have enough experience to remain as President.

You what they say, Obama will be only a aneurysm away from the presidency.
bloggless on October 2, 2008 at 3:30 PM
Sarah Palin is now in a situation where she knows that every word is being used to verify and compare with McCain’s record/statements. Identifying specific disagreements with the Supreme Court or specific newspapers/magazines does NOT mean she doesn’t know. She has to be careful about offending or appearing to contradict McCain. Does she mention McCain/Feingold? However, McCain had a good response on their differing opinons on ANWR, McCain said “Do you expect two Mavericks to agree on everything?” They should continue this line and let Sarah voice her opinions more clearly, r ecognizing they might not always agree with McCain.
jerseyman on October 2, 2008 at 3:31 PM
It’s too bad Fred didn’t point out that Couric’s question was what other Supreme Court decisions with which she disagrees. That’s different from knowing other Supreme court decisions. She could have talked about Heller, but she agrees with that. It’s probably that she knows other decisions, but she agrees with those decisions.
kgs_mvs on October 2, 2008 at 3:31 PM
Rodriguez is just another MSM whore for the DNC. As for Palin not giving any examples of Supreme Court cases, I wonder how much of it had to do with not wanting to accidently contradict John McCain on any particular issue. Had she taken a different position than McCain the MSM Whores would have hammered them for that.
mtbunji on October 2, 2008 at 3:31 PM
Oh boy…she shut Fred down quick-like.
Well, snap! I’m voting for Obama now that I’ve heard from CBS that Biden has said only kinda stupid things. And that’s, ok!
“Anti-Fred Anti-Sarah AllahPundit just posted a video of Fred defending the Sarahcuda rather well against a visibly hostile CBS host. (I wasn’t aware that AP was anti-Fred.)
WHEN WILL THE PALIN BASHING END?????”
MadisonConservative: If BO wins, it won’t stop because they will constantly say: ‘You Repbus think things are bad under the Obama admnistration, just imagine how it would have been under the McCain/Palin regime of old age and inexperience!’ If they lose, you KNOW it won’t stop. I fear rioting in the streets of every major urban area complete with casualties. It will be the second civil war.

AeroSpear on October 2, 2008 at 3:31 PM
Spirit:
I am not sure about that. McCain did acknowledge the problem wich is more than Obama did, and then of course Obama had to come along after the fact.
It is hard to show leadership on an issue where people do not want to be lead. The partisanship, the desire for score settling have made the Congress look ridiculous. But I still think they need to do this.
It is not going to just go away. And Europe is not going to lend a lot of money until they know what we are going to do.Japan is finishing its slide into recession as well.
This could get dicey. Especially with job losses starting. I am afraid that failure to act could doom the Republicans. Not fair I know, but life isn’t fair.

1. Let’s assume every bad loan on every bank is wiped clean. Huge capital increases. In this environment and economic climate, hope much do you think they will loan back out?
2. Will they increase or decrease collateral requirements?
3. Will qualification requirements and credit scores be tighter?
McCain voted for a boondoggle. Banks cannot be forced to loan money. They just want their money back despite greed loans. They will get it. Main Street loses.
Here’s my prediction:
Palin does well.
McCain keeps playing “safe” and loses in landslide.
Economy tanks despite bailout, and Treasury needs another 500B for Business Friends of O’Bama
Democratic Congress in both houses approve New Great Society in January.
McCain blames conservatives.
Starlink on October 2, 2008 at 3:34 PM
I’ve been not wanting to say this, because of the absolute dread for Obama – Reid – Pelosi I have.
but, this has felt awhile now like 1976. Palin is Reagan, she’ll lose but come back strong in 4 years and unite the party against the idiot party of Carter/Obama.
it’ll be branded the “comeback”
assuming Obama doesn’t declare he’s the new Caesar and elections not needed anymore.

i don’t think anything short of a big 527 push against Obama and some new revleations along the way that the media is forced to cover, will get McCain elected.

Eh, there’s always next decade.
(I actually read the article, it’s fairly logical in the way it comes to that conclusion. As much as I’ve read Dem commentators complaining about “two Americas”, and how they would have a coniption if the “other America” had its way with things, it might be better in the long run…. The question is whether or not the Libs being left behind would let the Conservatives go peacefully.)

I’m behind McCain now, in mouth and pocketbook, but I’m still a Fredhead at heart.
He would have made such a magnificent GOP presidential candidate. Win or lose, he would have been all over the media and Obama at every turn.
JudetheFossil on October 2, 2008 at 3:39 PM
it’s now becoming increasingly clear that had the GOP nominated Mitt Romney, with his extensive financial background and executive experience, they would be in much better position to defeat Obama in November.
mccain’s admission that he doesn’t understand economics all that well will be remembered as his fait acompli.

As for McCain, I think he needs to re-read the last part of his convention speech. Nothing is inevitable. We are Americans and we can do anything. Stand up and fight for what is right. Don’t let these lying, race-baiting, Socialists losers put their mouthpiece in our White House. We are Americans and we deserve better than this!

Here’s the McCain gamechanger: “My friends, let us reach across the aisle in the spirit of bipartisan cooperation.” It’ll change the game from win to lose.
Maverick!

You’ll know my house….it’s the one where the beer flows like wine, and women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

I intend on being suitably lubricated for the event. Muscle relaxant, y’know ;)

Thank you Madison Conservative, I looked up DC vs Heller and had my blurry memory refreshed. Now, we have to buy one before Barry bans them. (I would have at least one gun if i hadn’t been brainwashed to fear them by my bleeding heart parents).

OK, lets see…the housing market tanks and the administration wants to pass a “lipstick on socialism” bill to revive it and “save” the economy; The people of the USA HATE the idea by an overwhelming marjority; and the problem has it’s genesis in the dealings of crooked Dems.
Mac thinks it’s a brilliant idea to vote for the lipstick on socialism bill even though the people, whom he ostensibly wants to vote for him in a month, despise the idea.
What am I missing?

Of course they won’t. Socialism needs productive workers to carry the burden. Once the pie starts gettng divided the fragmentation won’t just stop at one division, human nature being what it is. There will always be discontent. That first step sets precedent.
