So far she has been shielded from interviews and interactions from the media.. because she needed "help"! Quite obviously she does seem very scary. As Fareed Zakaria says - it is very irresponsible of McCain to choose her as his running mate - because actuarial odds of Sarah Palin becoming US President are 20%! The worst thing according to Zakaria is NOT that she was giving a wrong answer but that she did not even understand the question. He was referring to the Katie Curic interview where she talked - well what other word to use - utter nonsense! She has been a Governor of Alaska - and Alaska's economy is only about Oil - where the revenue from Oil is distributed around. So, as Zakaria in an interview exclaimed - that's a great training for a President of Saudi Arabia.. but certainly NOT for the President of the United States! COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? … Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess? PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions. Zakaria argues the following: This is nonsense--a vapid emptying out of every catchphrase about economics that came into her head. Some commentators, like CNN's Campbell Brown, have argued that it's sexist to keep Sarah Palin under wraps, as if she were a delicate flower who might wilt under the bright lights of the modern media. But the more Palin talks, the more we see that it may not be sexism but common sense that's causing the McCain campaign to treat her like a time bomb. Can we now admit the obvious? Sarah Palin is utterly unqualified to be vice president. Here is some more of the exchange with Katie Curic... just read through it - its scary and simply insulting to one's intelligence! Her naivette and moronic BS is breath-taking!
