You mean the part where she says "reigning in spending has got to accompany tax reductions"?

 

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? ... Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

 

PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions.

Here's another brilliant exchange between Palin and Couric. I swear to god this is for real. As Putin "rears his head"????

 

Katie Couric: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

 

Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the land-boundry that we have with Canada. It's funny that a comment like that was kinda made to … I don't know, you know … reporters.

 

Couric: Mocked?

 

Palin: Mocked, yeah I guess that's the word, mocked.

 

Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.

 

Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of. And there…

 

Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

 

Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It's very important when you consider even national-security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right next to, they are right next to our state.

Except that's not what she said. She was stammering out talking points faster than her brain could keep up, and ended up sounding like an idiot. She had to cram for a Katie Couric interview. I used to see these kind of answers in essay booklets all the time when I was teaching. Student crams for exam, has no idea what the answer is, so they write down everything they can remember hoping to get a few points out of a total bull sh-- answer. Taxes, reduce spending, taxes, healthcare. It's pathetic. She can't even handle Katie Couric's softballs.

:lol: Tom is right.

 

You should have just went with the misheard dialect notion that GG threw to you, instead of posting a transcript that proved yourself incorrect.

It wasn't? :ph34r: Read that transcript JK2000 pasted above, it's exactly what she said.
