In a sharp reversal in tactics, Sarah Palin read a newspaper yesterday, and the McCain campaign is arguing that this should lay to rest any doubts about her qualifications for the vice presidency.

Speaking in a Colorado airport hangar, the Republican vice presidential candidate proudly proclaimed to her assembled supporters, "I was reading my copy of today's New York Times."

This was a dramatic change for Palin, who last Tuesday couldn't name a newspaper she had ever read when queried about in on national TV. Elaborating on her decision to read newspapers, the Alaska governor explained that she had read the New York Times because "they are hardly ever wrong."

Even with this sudden move to the political center, Palin sought to reassure her supporters on the right by completely misunderstanding the Times article she was referring to. The candidate described the front page article as confirming that Barack Obama is "palling around with terrorists," when the point of the article was to show that this assertion (which is the basis of recent anti-Obama TV ads) was false.

    Governor Avon Lady is just such a complete insult on so many levels.

    She gets a newpaper then proves she can't read !

    What the hell is she doing on a Presidential ticket ?

    How screwed up do republicans have to be to have put her on the ticket ?

    The republican party is dead. First Bush, now McSame and Gov Avon Lady, you have to be joking !

    The New York Times probably isn't worth reading.
    Is it not true that BO has so wierd friends--like Wright, Ayers etc. He should have watched who he has been associated with. I do not understand why anyone would hang with either of them1!!??
    If reading newspapers shows your intelligence--many people read their news through the internet..or current news magazines, don't they?
    Come on!

    republicans have got to be the dumbest people on the planet.

    90% of them don't realize george is an idiot.

    90% of them don't realize McCain and Palin are idiots.

    When you're dumber than a box of rocks, McCain and Palin look smart. Now imagine how stupid they have to be.

    There's no point arguing with the stupid. They don't have the cognitive skills to logically follow an argument. (For you republicans that last sentence means your ability to think is fucked).

    Want to see them tilt ?

    Dear republican moron,
    Give examples of some of the good things george "The Idiot" bush has accomplished.

    Now explain why in hell we should vote republican again ?

    Because if you can't answer the first one, and you think we should do the second, dear sir or madam, it's official, you're daft ... (that means stupid).

    Let's see, Sarah doesn't believe in global warming, she feels "seeing" Russia from her window makes her an expert on foreign policy, and the only thing she brings to the Republican table is the fact that she is a woman, wow, what a maverick!(Or does that make her a Celtic)

    The last phase of the election will be name-calling, drudging out old scandals and flat out lying. Ayers is but a red herring remember Willie Horton?

    I hope, "That One," (Obama) has learned from the Democratic nice guys strewn aside by ruthless self serving Bush-wackers when to pull off the kid gloves and kick some aging Republican butt!!!

    My friends, America can not take another four years of the Grandpa McSame, given a choice for a better America, I vote Democrat, "That One."

    Incidentally, did you notice that the Officer was no gentleman and refused to shake his opponents hand? how uncouth and his wife ( Paris Budweiser?) was no better! Come on!! Shouldn't the leader of the free world be diplomatic and mature enough to show the same common courtesy expected from a kindergarten graduate?
