I did. I was flipping back and forth between that and my favorite show ever, American Idol. While I wasn’t really impressed with the talent on Idol, nor was I impressed with the shadow that Victoria Beckham’s jutting cheekbones cast over the other judges, I was rather impressed with the way that Palin conducted herself on the popular news show.
Palin was interviewed by O’Reilly on his show last night, welcoming her to the network. O’Reilly also took the natural initiative to inquire about her outlook on current government, including Sen. Henry Reid’s comments regarding race and “dialect” and current political events around the world. Despite previous botched media appearances, she appeared to be a natural on the show. She was articulate, witty and relatively fair — even someone who utterly deplores the woman can’t deny these base facts, even if shedid use the word ‘uncomfortableness.’
Palin reinforced her opinions on such topics as the possible sanctions regarding Iranian finances and businesses and the possibility of being more aggressive in protecting the American public and in my opinion, came across very well-spoken.
Was she coached? I’m assuming so. Obama himself is coached and probably 99.9% of politicians worldwide are mere subjects of what footsteps the public is to follow — this is natural and all part of the political machine, but you know what? On the whole, I think she killed it. You know … in a good way. I may not agree with many of her ideas and solutions to various socio-economic issues but I do think she did a fantastic job and deserves all of the positive praise that goes along with it.
What do you guys think, dissenters and all?
Thank you for the perspective,I’m not going defend her until I’ve seen more of what she has to say,because frankly I don’t know that much about her yet,and I don’t think anybody really does. But I do think she can be a feminist asset even though she’s conservative.
I did not. But that has more to do with my complete inability to watch Bill O’ Reilly than anything else.
I mean, really, I just can’t afford to keep replacing tv’s…
For someone who used to play basketball, her and Mr. O’Reilly put on a pretty impressive display of softball last night.
She can be an asset to feminism???? She is a disgusting portrayal of what it “means” to be an educated mother with an opinion and a voice. It is appalling to me that people applaud her. The entire segment was a conversation about how people fear her, and their right I do fear her because people believe what she says based on her political views and not on the merit of her facts. SHE IS AN IDIOT!
You don’t have to sugar coat it,you can tell us how you honestly feel.
