Sarah Palin's Most Memorable TV Moments (VIDEO)

Huffington Post   First Posted: 9/30/09 Updated: 5/25/11

Variations on the expression, "I can see Russia from my house," have become so common that it's hard to imagine it's only been a year since Sarah Palin catapulted onto the national scene when John McCain announced his decision to make her his running mate on August 29, 2008.

Since then, the former Alaska governor has become one of the country's best-known politicians, consistently named one of the top three choices for Republican presidential candidate in 2012, an object of ridicule to some, and an easy punchline for late-night comics.

Herewith, videos of Palin's most memorable TV moments from the past year:

CBS News' Katie Couric asks, "What newspapers and magazines did you regularly read?":


Palin describes her foreign policy experience to ABC News' Charlie Gibson:


Palin explains her foreign policy comments about Russia to Couric:


Gibson asks Palin whether she agrees with the Bush doctrine:


Palin explains why she was for the "Bridge to Nowhere" before she was against it:

Well Marcus, let it not be said that Mark Gillar doesn't know how to keep a
promise. Here is a little example of how easy it is to attack Obama, Biden,
and Pelosi using the same tactic you've employed here against Sarah Palin.
I was very careful to give you full credit for inspiring me.

I'm sure many Huffpo liberals will be viewing these videos for the first time.
Enjoy!!!

What you have utterly failed to take into account in your umpteen posts is quite simple:

When Obama, Biden and Pelosi say something st.u.p.i.d it is something they SAID wrong.
It is not something they actually believe or would claim as fact.

Now, when Ms. breathtaki­ngly-uninf­ormed part-term "governor" says something st.u.p.i.d ...

Here is another link for you FR. Do you think Obama believed what he was saying in this clip?
08:38 AM on 09/01/2009
These videos are old and lame. It just goes to show that you are using the same old saw. Get a life! It is sooo obvious that people like Couric are insanely jealous of Palin. In fact, more Americans are getting interested in her the more that the old videos come out, and more are going to be on her side because she actually has a thought, not like the "repeaters­" in the news nowadays. Let that old cougar (Couric) go stalk someone else.
07:06 PM on 08/31/2009
Marcus, I'll be putting together a similar collection of embedded videos for Obama, Biden,
and Pelosi. I've already posted some of the links here. Once I've paraded their stupidity
around for all the world to see, I'll remind liberals that they owe it all to you for starting this fight.
Good work!
08:34 PM on 08/31/2009
Palin is a regular gaffe machine celebrity on youtube. Comedy gold!
11:55 PM on 09/02/2009
Check my link above. It is Obama, Biden, and Pelosi who are the human gaffe machines.

Been reading these last few posts and I just have to say ... when the argument becomes 'Obama isn't smart' ... you know you are arguing with someone who HAS no argument.

It's definitely into the 'grasping at straws' territory.

This is all they've got: Teleprompt­er, long birth certificat­e, generation­al theft, socialism, fascism, Acorn, No to Health Care Reform and grey poupon.

Not necessaril­y in that order, but can all be used together if need be. For instance, at a town hall or birther meeting.

If that's all you've recorded, you haven't been taking good notes.

You forgot the Thanksgivi­ng Turkey Farm Interview. Right up there with the others.
10:45 AM on 08/31/2009
A comedy classic!! Only Palin could go to a turkey farm to 'pardon' a turkey and do it in front of where the turkey slaughter takes place.
06:34 PM on 08/31/2009
Only Obama could walk into a window thinking it was a door.
I know he thinks he can walk on water, but does he think he can
walk through windows too?
08:33 PM on 08/31/2009
Bush: Locked door, classic. Palin: Lock jaw, priceless.
08:47 PM on 09/01/2009
only Obama could kill a fly and keep giving a rate 1 interview about world issues. You wish you could paint him as flawed. :)
12:46 AM on 08/31/2009
When our conservati­ve brethren state "Obama says that there are 57 states", I always counter with the clip where Sarah says "Our next door neighbors are foreign countries, They're- in -the- STATE- that- I am the executive of". So does that means that Russia and Canada are located within Alaska? If so, then Palin use to govern Russia and Canada. Wow, Drill baby drill now makes sense!!! Check out .38 on foreign policy.
12:50 AM on 08/31/2009
57 is the number of caucuses and primaries which obama participat­ed in. i remember when he made that gaffe. he meant 57 primaries and caucuses - which is correct.

gosh, just thinking back to that year and that race exhausts me.

Palinbots don't understand that 'caucus and primary thingy' .... they are still working on the idea that they can impeach Obama if they don't like him.

Gunnera GIrl, you have to remember .. you aren't talking about people who have a clue here.

Sure, that's why he followed it up by saying only one more to go because I won't be visiting Alaska and Hawaii.

Bill Clinton once said "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is," making a distinctio­n between two possible meanings of the word. I would expect to hear a similar phrase from Palin, but from her, I would not expect it to be a rhetorical device.
12:38 AM on 08/31/2009
Yea! Palin for president in 2012 of what will then become the newest of the third world countries on this planet. You go girl...run this country, yep, you betcha.

I've tried it with Hillary Clinton. It doesn't work.

Earth to MarkEdward­Gillar:

A gaffe is something you recover from, your intelligen­ce intact.

Ignorance is terminal.

And blind allegiance to a lost cost is pointless.
12:21 AM on 08/31/2009
oops: make that: And blind allegiance to a lost CAUSE is pointless.
11:55 PM on 09/03/2009
No problem, I understand that anyone can make a mistake. We're all
allowed to make mistakes except for Sarah Palin.
06:39 PM on 08/31/2009
When Biden, Pelosi or Obama make a gaffe the MSM doesn't dare talk about it.
When Palin does the same thing, it's front page news.

I do agree that your blind allegiance to Obama a man who didn't accomplish anything
in the IL State Senate or the U.S. Senate is pointless. Glad we agree on something.
It's nice to see you coming around.

I PRAY that she is the Redumblica­n's nominee in 2012. I absolutely would switch parties just to vote for her in the primaries, then laugh as the Redumblica­ns are trounced again.

If she's the nominee in 2012, it'll be time to switch to a new form of government­. It's been demonstrat­ed before - like 2004 and 2008 - but this would be conclusive that Democracy don't work too good.
