Watch – Palin’s Experience Compared With Every Other VP In US History

Please invest 12 minutes of your time to watch this video about the national and global farce of Sarah Palin as VP. 

In response to Palin’s supporters’ claim that Palin’s experience is similar to other VPs here is an exhaustive comparison of Governor Palin’s experience as compared with every other Vice President in U.S. history.

Pass it on to your conservative friends to drive them crazy.

Palin’s Experience in Just 12 Minutes

Andrew Sullivan sums it up this way:

The Palin nomination is without historical precedent for her total lack of any alient qualifications as well as her refusal to engage the press in any meaningful way in a national election campaign. Truly surreal and utterly without precedent. Just listen to Lessig go through the history of the vice-presidents. Palin’s candidacy is a national and global farce.

 

Republican Senator Admits Sarah Palin is Not Ready

Chuck Hagel – the real John McCain of our times?

We may not always agree with Senator Hagel (R- Nebraska) but he is honest, truthful, doesn’t work for Republican spinners & he’s not afraid to say what we don’t want to hear.

Today  Joseph Morton writes in the Omaha World-Herald that Sen. Chuck Hagel doubts Palin is ready for national office.  http://omaha.com/index.php?u_page=2835&u_sid=10435997

Finally, an honest Republican politician! And, obviously it isn’t this woman.

Quotes from Republican Senator Chuck Hagel:

“She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials.”

“You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don’t know what you can say. You can’t say anything.”

“I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, ’I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia,’” he said. “That kind of thing is insulting to the American people.”

“But I do think in a world that is so complicated, so interconnected and so combustible, you really got to have some people in charge that have some sense of the bigger scope of the world,” Hagel said. “I think that’s just a requirement.”

“I think it’s a stretch to, in any way, to say that she’s got the experience to be president of the United States,” Hagel said.

What about the “lipstick on a pig” hoopla:    “It’s terrible,” he said. “It debases the system.”

Mayor Sarah Palin Pricey “Bordello” Office Makeover – No Executive Abilities

First – she spent $50,000 on an office in this building?  Wow! 

“Executive abilities?  She doesn’t have any,” said former Wasilla City Council member Nick Carney, who selected and groomed Palin for her first political race in 1992 and served with her after her election to the City Council.

Four years later, the ambitious Palin won the Wasilla mayor’s office — after scorching the “tax and spend mentality” of her incumbent opponent. But Carney, Palin’s estranged former mentor, and others in city hall were astounded when they found out about a lavish expenditure of Palin’s own after her 1996 election. According to Carney, the newly elected mayor spent more than $50,000 in city funds to redecorate her office, without the council’s authorization.

“I thought it was an outrageous expense, especially for someone who had run as a budget cutter,” said Carney. “It was also illegal, because Sarah had not received the council’s approval.”

According to Carney, Palin’s office makeover included flocked, red wallpaper. “It looked like a bordello.”
