The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It could influence undecided voters in swing states.

How would you feel? Incredulous? Shocked? So, you ask---"Hey man, why did you punch me in the face??!!" To which they say say, "What? I didnt punch you in the face. That didnt happen. There was no abuse on my part." I kinda feel like that.

Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.11(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.

His choice of Palin will be forever remembered as one of the biggest political blunders in American history. It also tells you what kind of decisions this man would make as President.

She literally looks directly into the camera, ignore the actual question entirely, throws out a bald-faced lie, then tries to make it sound as if this is what everybody would do. As if Governors throughout the country have their husbands and wives handling such matters. Also: The reporter didn't say Palin's husband had Wooten "fired." She said he put pressure on officials in a "effort" to have him fired yet Palin immediately says she has the "facts wrong" when in "fact," the reporter was absolutely correct. When this is all over and done with, I think Palin, through these kinds of exchanges, has destroyed any future in national politics. Any future opponent will run these tapes right up her ass during a campaign. The woman is absolutely incredible.

Now, being illiterate is not anything to be ashamed of, but it certainly might be a problem for a possible VP. It might also explain why she can't answer any question for which she doesn't have a memorized Repub talking point answer. In short, why doesn't this woman read anything?

First she lies and says the reporter got her "facts wrong".
