Devastating day for McCain/Palin. The media is laughing at both of them.

[DCBob]

The Letterman cancellation fiasco and Palin's bizarre Russia comments in the Couric interview have been played and replayed over and over again today with most everyone mocking, criticizing and laughing at them. Killer.

[varun]

1. its all over the internet

but is MSM showing the couric - palin russia / bailout fiasco?

[DCBob]

4. MSNBC, NBC and CBS of course. Not sure about the others.

[vaberella]

9. Every single BLOG. I do wonder freepers are saying after Palin and Couric. n/t

13. I think Letterman was the turning point

Dave was NOT joking when he was ripping McChicken apart last night. It was true, it was funny, but he wasn't joking. And Evita Mooselini just scares the living crap out of people.

[DCBob]

15. Indeed. Letterman is pissed. McCain lied to him.

That incident could be McCain's macaca moment.

[gratefultobelib]

2. Right. On MSNBC this afternoon the anchorman started laughing at the

mccain spokesman when he was going on about mccain answering "that 3 a.m. call" and rushing back to Washington. I mean the reporter just started laughing right over the guy and so did the Obama spokesman. It was priceless.

[Life Long Dem]

6. I can imagine how funny it is connecting the 3 AM call to McSame's cancellations.

and Obama walking in and chewing gum at the same time!

[Lancer]

8. OMG. That WAS HILARIOUS

McLame stoolie: "well, it just says that when that 3 a.m. phone call comes..."

Anchorman (and other guest in tandem): "It's gonna say MAAAAAAAAKE-UP!" (running joke on old Milton Berle show)

Cut to: pic of McLame being made up in front of Couric.


Thanks, gratefultobelib. I'd forgotten about that!

[vaberella]

10. Is there a video of this?! I would kill for it. n/t

[vaberella]

11. dupe. n/t

[grannylib]

23. Oh man I wish I had seen that - what show? Any idea? I'd love to

see that on You Tube or whatever...

[cliffordu]

27. I saw that - the anchor just laughed the talking head quiet. It was delicious...

:rofl:

[firedupdem]

32. I saw that!! He was cracking up! n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

3. How bad does it have to get before they're taken out by their own staffs?

I mean, they must be either suicidal or drugged, at this point.

[scheming daemons]

5. If this crisis isn't averted... today will have been a bad day for all of us

[Wednesdays]

20. Yes, we all must mind our portfolios.

[Emit]

7. NBC's Brian Williams played a clip of Couric's interview with Palin and it was painful to watch

Although, I enjoyed it. :evilfrown: Chuck Todd and Williams were both critical. It was great to see.

[DCBob]

12. Palin is horrible impromptu. Shockingly inept. No wonder they are shielding her.

She is now becoming a serious liability to McCain.

[Cha]

14. Good..they now have something real to

mock.. as opposed to Dean's Scream in 2004.

[DCBob]

16. It is a well known political fact that when a politician is mocked and laughed at -- it's over.

[Cha]

17. I never say never or "always" but

I'm loving the NOW of it all. I can't even believe the corporatemedia don't all have back problems right now from carrying mcpaln's water.

I think we're going to win though..I cheered up someone at work tonight who thought we weren't 'cause they don't have all this inside access on DU:)

[DCBob]

18. True. Who knows what could happen in the next few weeks but...

clearly this is major setback for McCain/Palin that will be difficult for them to recover from.

[Cha]

21. A Setback of their own making..

The Queen of Hearts and Tweedledum.

[AwakeAtLast]

19. And we're laughing right along with 'em!

:D

[jimlup]

22. Don't overestimate the intelligence of the American electorate

and the "sympathy because they are stupid like me" vote.

Just saying...

[OmahaBlueDog]

24. ..or overestimate the length of their memory

41 days is an eternity in politics.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

25. We don't need to do much as long as the pukes

are blazing away at both feet with Tommy guns.

26. A tale of two beauty queens

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our..."





"It's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where ... where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is ... from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to ... to our state."


I am at a loss for words.

[DCBob]

28. I think I will take Miss Teen SC. She is cuter and still young enough to learn.

[pokerfan]

29. At least Miss SC was not running for high office

Can you imagine Palin in charge of the nuclear launch codes?

[DCBob]

30. Indeed. I can't imagine it.

Is that a real pic of an actual test nuke? If so do you know where it was taken and when?

[SoxFan]

31. Tacoma. May 12, 2010.

[pokerfan]

34. No idea

[Bryn]

33. Do we actually have nuclear button?

I never thought that we'd actually have this in USA. What is it for? :scared:
