Palin:President Bush Is Disqualified To Be President

In what should send shockwaves through the Republican Party, Republican Vice President nominee, Sarah Palin, called for President Bush to step down as President.

In referring to President Bush's August, 2007 comments that our bombings in Afghan have killed innocent civilians, Palin told Fox News reporter Carl Cameron: "Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may -- in my world- disqualifies someone from consideration as commander in chief." Palin said, "Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly- just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That's reckless."

The McCain campaign immediately clarified Palin's statement. "Sarah had mistakenly memorized the wrong politician's comments," said spokesman Tucker Bounds. But Palin was referring to the President's comments during a joint press conference with Afghani President Karzai where the President alluded to American bombing raids that had killed READ THE SHOCKING DETAILS OF PALIN'S CALL OUT OF BUSH RIGHT HERE.

Does the term implosion resonate with anyone?

[wandering girl]

satire, people - satire. Palin said this about Obama, not Bush.

I think the point he is trying to make is Palin knows or should know that Pres Bush is not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief; he did allow air raids on Afghanistan that caused many innocent civilians to die. Obama simply said we must stop the air raids.

Palin killing off Bush in the same way she would deliver a coup de grâce to a moose!

When the going gets tough the cannibals come out of their closets!

'Palin said, "Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly- just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That's reckless."' This sentence appeared - I think word for word - the debate. It's clear the McCain camp had her memorized, and just as clear by the time she did her follow-up on Fox, she could not yet get her out of her head. Although the Right has rallied around her publically this week, they must privately regret ever meeting her. Unfit for the Presidency - and worse, unfit to be a politician!

Correct you are. As a matter of fact , it appears that the original strategy will be resumed. They'll keep her away from reporters and not permit her to be on talk shows of the Sunday variety. Of course, she can always return to the friendly Fox chamber and play patty-cake again with Hannity, the soidisant intellectual.

Otherwise, she will be running about the country in her vacuous, giddy, Mom of the Year image, spewing her shallow bumper-sticker style slogans and maybe resuming her winking that bedazzled so many dupes.

It is so ironic that she would say that and then behave as if the Bush/Cheney administration would be her model should she be elected. I don't know what the country would look like after 4 years with Johnny and Sarah.

What the McCain campaign doesnt realize is that they have just said that the woman is DUMB as hell. In Tucker Bounds own words "she MEMORIZED the wrong politician's comments". In other words, she doesnt know a dam thing if you dont tell it to her.

Or even if you do tell her, she can't keep it straight.
