I don't recall anything like that, but maybe I'm wrong. Doesn't matter anyway.... I'll just let it drop. I still made a two or three bad decisions to end up where I'm at, so maybe I am stupid.

OMG, this is all so sudden. I don't know what to say. Let me get my family together so you can take lots of pictures of me and my family, at least the ones I haven't tried to get fired. There won't be any questions at this time, will there? WILL THERE BE QUESTIONS?!?! I only ask because I'm not allowed to answer questions yet, or maybe ever. I am, however, available for photo ops and I can wave from a stage and say a few prepared remarks. Did I mention my lovely family?

What's striking to me about Palin is how well she recovers from being flustered. Like most of us, when she gets caught bull $#@! her voice starts to quiver, her grammar breaks, her face falls, etc. A completely normal response to being over one's head.

But unlike most of us, once she gets through having bull $#@! her way through her lack of knowledge and gets back to her rhetoric her voice settles, her countenance lifts and she charges ahead as if nothing happened. That's not normal. Not good or bad; but definitely not normal.

I think I can do that. Actually, I'm pretty good at faking it.

does anyone here know exactly what that meant? really?

COURIC: What kind of trade?

PALIN: Oh, you know, importing and exporting.

COURIC: So, what do you import?

PALIN: (extemporising) Uh... chips.

COURIC: Oh. What kinda chips?

PALIN: Potato.

COURIC: Ah.

PALIN: (embroidering) Some corn.

COURIC: And what do you export?

PALIN: Diapers.

So McCain is "suspending the campaign" but still running TV ads? That seems disingenuous.

After watching the Couric interview....

I don't know. I, for one, am happy to see a politician take a stand and not allow any tax reductions unless they are accompanied by a reduction in taxes.
