John Cleese on Sarah Palin!

Palin!

Jon Meacham of Newsweek:

We have had terrific presidents and vice presidents from humble backgrounds, and we have had terrible presidents and vice presidents from privileged ones. The unease with Palin is not class-based. It is empirically based. She is a rising political star, a young woman—she is only 44—who has done extraordinary things. It takes guts to offer oneself for election, and to serve. It is far easier to throw spitballs from the stands than it is to seek and hold office. She is a governor, and she has the courage to go into the arena. For that she should be honored and respected. If she were seeking a Senate seat, or being nominated for a cabinet post—secretary of energy, say, or interior—the conversation about her would be totally different.

But she is not seeking a Senate seat, nor is she being nominated for a cabinet post, and so it is only prudent to ask whether she is in fact someone who should be president of the United States in the event of disaster. She may be ready in a year or two, but disaster does not coordinate its calendar with ours. Would we muddle through if Palin were to become president? Yes, we would, but it is worth asking whether we should have to.

More to come!

'The worst may be yet to come' reports Ben Smith of Political.com, as a source with CBS reports that the news Network has two more tapes of interviews that may prove embarrassing!

A source familiar with CBS News’ plans clarified that this is part of the "Vice Presidential Questions" series with Biden and Palin. The recorded segments are scheduled to air Wednesday and Thursday before the vice presidential debate. (The series is based on the Presidential Questions series, in which Couric asks the candidates the same set of questions on wide range of topics from policy to character to leadership.) No word on the content.

This is proving to be very entertaining by the day!

Now, YOU can interview Sarah Palin! Honestly!

If you, have been following the Sarah Palin phenomenon that John McCain unleashed on the American electorate as his 'unvetted' running mate, then you will be aware that she has not been giving as many interviews to the media as you would expect of a running mate in such a tight race for the presidency of the USA - a superpower!

This has obviously not gone down well with the media! However, a few 'lucky' networks managed to get an audience with Mrs Palin and the result has not only evidenced why she is hiding from the media but has also been hilarious and cringe inducing to say the least!

Now, some lovely people have come up with a website that puts you in the driving seat! You can generate Palin answers!
