Keith Olbermann "Campaign Comment" On Palin: Are You Smarter Than A Third-Grader? (VIDEO)

Tonight Keith Olbermann, alarmed that his "Special Comments" were occurring with such frequency that they were no longer special, offered a "Campaign Comment" about Sarah Palin's continued confusion over the role and powers of the Vice President. The comment was titled, "Are you smarter than a third-grader?"

I love you Keith for telling it like it is! SARAH PALIN IS DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!

[dmsdzinr]

I knew ALL ALONG that Sarah Palin & the McCain Campaign were going to try and have Palin FAKE IT into the White House! I am so glad that my prediction that she would be FOUND OUT and that she would BRING DOWN the McCain Presidential Run has come TRUE! HELLLLLOOOOO you CANNOT fool an ENTIRE COUNTRY!!!

[MANK]

DUMB and proud of it!!
Look how much $ we can save in the federal budget if we cut out all monies that have to do with education.

[Yarrr]

Haha Olbermann rocks. And his rants are grounded in common sense and truth, unlike certain right wing commentators.

[gretcheno]

Agreed I watch him daily M-F.

I don't blame the Alaskan schools for their governor not knowing what a Vice-President does, nor his obvious misunderstanding the Constitution. Our President obviously doesn't get it either, and HIS Vice-President not only doesn't get it, but what he does get, he'll shrug off with a "So?" comment because he doesn't give a rat's fanny what the American public thinks. Palin attended 6 schools in 5 years (or was it 5 schools in 6 years?), and is a female Barney Fife on the stump. She is simply fertile ground for Tina Fey as well as for Keith, just as Gerald Ford's clumsiness was for Chevy Chase. Dagwood Bumstead would be more credible. At least he came through and was successful in the end
of Blondie movies. Palin is being mega-investiagted and now can be seen as opportunistic as she is vacuous.

Doesn't this disqualify the Govenor?
If the oath of office of the President/VP is to defend the Constitution, don't you have to know it first?

[caribemj]

The more I listen to Palin the more I believe she is not nearly as ignorant as she wants us to believe. I think she has this idea that if you say the same thing over and over and over and over again, pretty soon, it's the truth. Tell me how many Republicans that still (as many are leaping ship) support this ticket will tell you TODAY that the VP job is precisely as Palin describes it? How many will watch any media outlet like this one refuting her claim or, heaven forbid, actually check the Constitution to see what the truth really is? Rhetorical question...it's obvious how often people believe what they read (in their email). Now, send this video to 1,335 of your best friends and angels will kiss your shoulders all day.

[RuffNReddy]

Yes! Please GO HOME, Governor!

[leoeris]

Hey Republican campaign contributors! You bought that awful red leather jacket for her!

[tedbear]

She does dress trashy. No class. I might get in trouble for saying this but has anyone noticed how, well how do I put this gently, how McCain's daughter dresses, and all the make-up she wears. What is up with that? Is she Cindy's daughter or the first wife's daughter?

[fairwitness]

She keeps saying that the VP has lots of "flexibility" and "power" in the Senate if one "so chose to use it"...

WTF?! She is telegraphing the fact that she
1. has no eathly idea what the Constitution says about the vp,
2. doesn't care what that might be because it is irrelevent to her agenda
3. is intending to assert those imaginary powers over the Senate when she gets them

This isn't stupidity, just blind aggression against our Constitution and laws. And, as a Republican designee asigned to further the Republican anti-Constitution (and so anti-American) power grab, she repeats what she's heard in the back rooms from those who are using her as frontspiece for their project to subvert the government and repress the people.

She is transparently fascist and must be repudiated and banished back to 'real America" where she has a rabid constituency of anti-American fanatics who seek to make the US into a neo-con theocracy with dictatorial powers.

I think it's a safe bet...if McCain/Palin wins, Keith will slash his wrists. I mean really....who wouldn't?

[LiberalUnderYourBed]

....and he'll probably do it on the air in his last special report.
Keith, after you do your wrists please take care of mine! I cannot take another minute of the GOP.

[BarackDaVote]

LOL....Keith is hilarious!

[Archivist1000]

I had a sad moment for Hillary the other day when she said (paraphrasing) that nobody should 'assume' anything .... a lesson she learned the hard way, to be sure!

Hillary understands that while a candidate can be the frontrunner for a long time, at the end of the day, all that really counts, is the VOTE .... it would be a shame if Obama supporters took victory for granted, and stayed home on November 4.

GO VOTE EARLY if you can .... but VOTE ! Take NOTHING for granted, it aint over 'till it's OVER ....

GO VOTE EARLY if you can ... you or someone you love might get sick on Nov 3 or 4 and you might be unable to go!

GO VOTE EARLY if you can .... there may be problems at the precincts .... don't be caught out !


GO VOTE EARLY if you can ... Obama has been working his butt off for 2 yrs, just for this one DAY .... don't let him down, when he needs YOU

GO VOTE EARLY if you can .... elections are won one vote at a time, and the result lasts 4 yrs!

[MrKINOKO]

I have come to the conclusion that Sarah Palin is the human version of the "Magic 8Ball". Simply shake it up, turn it around, and prepare to be dazzled by pre-loaded messages of cataclysmic wisdom such as "Yes", "It's in the cards", or my personal favorite "Ask again later". Would someone please do some digging and find out what honcho in the RNC Forced McCain to pick this undereducated candidate from his cooler (cooloh?), as opposed to whomever he really favored? Was it Karl Rove? Rick Davis? Dick Cheney? Who whacked the McCain campaign? Sounds like a story worthy of a Pulitzer prize to me....or in the least, a Wurzlbocher Prize.
Personally, I wouldn't vote Palin if she was running for Alaska Wildlife Czar....but what do I know? I'm just one of the hundreds of thousands of Republicans who voted for Bush, who now will happily vote Obama in a couple weeks.

actually mccain originally wanted Liebermann to be his running mate however the GOP was against it because of mccain previously being a democract and liebermann also being one they thought no one would take mccain seriously. So essentially he had to do whatever the GOP choose and I think in an act of desperation ( because you know mcccain doesn't like listening to anyone) he decided to against the GOP and did something completely unexpected.

[Tinx08]

I have quickly become a HUGE fan of Keith Olbermann

[melissasusan24]

Ditto. I never watched his show until after the conventions, and now I never miss it!

[mercuryguy]

We probably have to make her take the 'Citizenship Test' which the US Govt makes immigrants take before taking up Citizenship. Maybe that will help her with the US Constitution.
