OK, I've got lots of stuff to share tonight. This bailout, Palin finally talking, and McCain suspending his campaign has given us lots of things to talk about...



- First, here's Sarah Palin unable to tell Katie Couric any examples of how John McCain has been a reformer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM72M62jAUc



Classic. Is she clueless or what? Are people really going to vote for McCain because of her? I can't for the life of me understand that...



- Here's Palin explaining to Couric her Russia/Alaska comments from her ABC interview. See if you can make any sense of what she said or how it really makes things any better. I don't think it does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezxqgDDND6Q



Here's an article about it: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080926/ap_on_el_pr/palin;_ylt=ArhzSOh6JUyhXkTgS3EEaCpsnwcF



Her comments still don't make any sense and still don't contain any relevance to having foreign policy experience.



She talks about other topics, too, but reading her quotes... can this woman speak clearly? I don't think so.



- Those are some clips above from Palin's interview with Katie Couric. If you'd like to see the whole thing (and see Palin stumped some more), you can watch the whole broadcasted interview here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6c1oL5V_4U and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQRGsZ0SN7E



Do you ever notice how she can't stay on the topic of the question being asked? Couric asks her in Part 2 about the bailout and Palin starts talking about health insurance and other things.



- Here's some great video from last night's Countdown with Keith Olberman, talking about McCain's erratic decisions lately: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS7UBpwhRy8



- OK, one last video... also from Countdown with Keith Olberman, talking about Palin's "visits" with foreign dignitaries and how questions from the press were not allowed and questioning how's she going to handle Putin when she can't handle questions from the press: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2745UjlLnw



Apparently at these meetings, she basically didn't say anything. Things like "Uh huh", "Good", and "Great". That's great leadership!



- Here's an article from Newsweek pointing out all of the lies, misinformation, and untruths coming out of both sides of the election: http://www.newsweek.com/id/160844



Seems to me that the more egregious distortions are coming from McCain.



- Here's an article from CNN critical of Palin not talking to reporters and not yet giving a press conference she's been nominated to be VP candidate for the Republicans: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/25/palin.media/index.html



This drives me mad. If the Republicans think she's worthy of being VP and potentially President, then why can't she deal with reporters? Are you really going to vote for this ticket?



- Here's an article that's very critical of McCain's decision to postpone his campaign, interject himself into the economic crisis, since he has no expertise, and saying he made his decisions in a "he did it foolishly, in a panicky fashion": http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/09/what_actually_happened_yesterd.html?xid=site-cnn-partner



- Here's an article saying both Democrats and even some Republicans were critical of McCain's decision to interject himself into the economic situation: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080925/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_s_gambit



- Here's an article that calls McCain's behaviour "erratic": http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/

- And, FINALLY, here's an article saying McCain's gambling with his political future... and it may be worth it: http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080925/pl_politico/13920;_ylt=AhTKP1L0IBURkMFNi9Yhd5tsnwcF

He sure is gambling. Time will tell if it pays off.

OK, that's enough for now. Lots of good stuff here for you all. Enjoy!

Tomorrow night I'll be watching... whatever happens at the time the debate is supposed to take place. I'll be blogging about it. Whether McCain shows up or not, it should be interesting.
