McCain Spokesman Stumped Trying To Explain Why Palin Is Ready To Be Commander-In-Chief (VIDEO)

So, I know that one of the reasons John McCain hastily chose Sarah Palin as his running-and-soul mate was because he thought that Palin would exude some general appeal to female voters, which is why she's been out on the stump talking about Hillary Clinton and the eighteen million cracks.

But how's this for a little bit of the old backlash? Say you're Campbell Brown, working professional, educated newswoman. Brown, I'd bet, knows a thing or two about glass ceilings (remember this back and forth with Hillary Clinton at one of CNN's debates?). And along comes Sarah Palin, who's basically reached third on a series of throwing errors, talking about how she's going to break that glass ceiling. And Brown recalls that old Morrissey line: "You just haven't earned it yet, baby."

Hmmmm. You see, it's not just that Brown, faced with the prospect of chasing Tucker Bounds all around the barnyard like he's some kind of stuttering, idiotic chicken, sticks with insisting that Bounds answer a simple and direct question. It's that Brown infuses the proceedings with that little extra dose of extra-special sadistic glee that makes it twice as nice to watch and gives rise to all of my furtive speculations, above.

Watch for yourself, and tell me Brown isn't enjoying this:

Tucker Bounds came across like a preppie who has gotten through life on looks, connections and his overflowing trust fund. The man was completely obnoxious.

The poor guy should have said Palin has as much foreign policy experience as former governors Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan, Bill Clinton and GW Bush.

Does shopping at a strip mall in Moscow, Idaho count as foreign experience..?

Voters will make the correct decision when they go to the polls in November. They'll elect Obama. This is actually getting quite funny to watch.

[Ladyteguesian]

No kidding.. I'm thinking about having a pizza party...just to celebrate the wonderousness of this moment.

Really, who would have thought that the Republicans could be FUNNY? The more they talk, the better it gets.

[ramal]

Republicans never meet the standards that they hold other people to because they are hypocrities. Onc could go down the line from Bush's qualifications vs. those of Gore or Kerry (including time served in Vietnam) to the supposed "abstinence only" campaign which Palin's daughter clearly failed. It is always a case of do as I say, not as I do.

Thinking of sending Campbell Brown a HUGE bouquet of roses.

That was excruciatingly painful to watch ... wiggle, wiggle ... squirm, squirm. So much for John McCain's "Country first" pontification. He accuses Obama of putting winning an election before the well-being and best interests of the country, and then does just that with his choice of a dangerously under-qualified running mate for which the only qualification that matters is that s/he be ready to take over as Commander and Chief should the need arise. Country first? RED FLAG

I can't believe that those boobs have been in power for so long.. what happened did the government dumb down America more than I thought they did??? Thank God I'm a non-conformist

Just announced on CNN that McCain camp pulled interview scheduled for tonight on Larry King due to the "unfairness" of Campbell Brown interview

Yup, Yup, Yup,, she is ready to handle world leaders and tough questions and so is John McCain but they can't handle media softball questions..

His campaign is a political disaster..

I hear an IMPLOSION..!!

[AC500]

I watched the interview live ... she was not unfair. Campbell Brown did what she annoyingly does so well ... she drilled for an answer to her question when the interviewee tried to evade it. She did nothing other than good investigative journalism ... How .... lame ... of the McCain campaign to react this way if this is indeed true. Appears weak and ineffective and ... scared ... and bubble mentality arising. Also, this is the same dangerous precedent that was set after 9/11 ... McCain is following in those same footsteps of punishing those who question the status quo ... who dare question his decision. Another Bush-like quality. Let's only hope journalists don't fall for this again and continue doing their jobs.

[missmuffette]

what a bunch of babies! unfairness? bah!!!

[Ethics101]

McCain has no fight. He just pulled an interview off CNN with Larry King.
Says C. Brown was unfair. waaaaaaaaah.

[ritenow]

This coming from the man who wants to be Commander in Chief?

What a wossey!!!

Looks like the Republican Party is having a nervous breakdown!!!

[mredder4]

How did they let the lie through that Palin was governor of Alaska longer than Obama has been in the Senate?

[Ladyteguesian]

forgive me if this comes up twice..
CNN just announced that the McCain camp just pulled an interview scheduled on Larry King due to the unfairness of the Campbell Brown interview

[lungfish]

Evasion, obfuscation and, failing that, smear your opponent - anything but admit that you have to answer a question that doesn't have good answer..hallmarks of the GOP.....

[girard1991]

SO FREAKIN' BAD. OMG!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!

[rationalthought1]

I love watching the flop sweat on these Republican freaks - the day of reckoning is coming for them - they and their b.s. is going to be swept away.

[john85msy]

Unbelievable.

[HC4BO]

Sucker BoundtoLies ... Sorry baby, BUT you need to go back to Talking Points boot camp ...

[scorpio69er]

Can someone please ask these nitwits a simple question: Why, after the last disastrous 8 years, should we put yet another Republican in the White House?
