Palin stumped when asked to explain her preconditions for meeting foreign leaders.
Palin stumped when asked to explain her preconditions for meeting foreign leaders.
Gov. Sarah Palin has attacked Sen. Barack Obama for being “so off base in his proclamation that he would meet with some of these leaders around our world who would seek to destroy America and that, and without preconditions being met.” When asked by NBC’s Brian Williams what are some of those preconditions she envisions, Palin was stumped:
WILLIAMS: Governor Palin, yesterday you tied this notion of an early test to the new president. Would this notion of precondition –
PALIN: Right.
WILLIAMS: — that you both have been hammering the Obama campaign on. What — first of all, what in your mind is a precondition?
PALIN: You have to have some diplomatic strategy going into a meeting with someone like Ahmadinejad or Kim Jong-il, one of these dictators that would seek to destroy America or her allies. It is so naive and so dangerous for a presidential candidate to just proclaim that they would be willing to sit down with a– a leader like Ahmadinejad and just talk about the problems, the issues that are facing them. So that — that’s — that’s some ill-preparedness right there.
Watch it:
Ilan Goldenberg offers this tutorial: “What Palin is describing is what would be called preparation, not preconditions. Just to be clear. Not negotiating until preconditions are met means not starting your negotiating until the other side has met some kind of condition you imposed. ”

Sarah allowed the World to know she doesn’t have any idea about Foreign Policy. Here’s a woman that doesn’t even know what the job duties for which she has applied. Sarah is looking ahead to 2012 to run for President and buy some more clothes are the tax payers bill. If McCain/Palin steal the election look for Sarah who will be told by Todd to involt the 25th Amendment against John McCain thereby making Sarah the new President in 2009. In some of Sarah’s speeches she has already refered to herself as President so you never know.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:20 pmIt looks like he’s staring at her legs.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:24 pmI swear I could have done a better job than Princess Wasilla when I was in high school. She can’t even define what “preconditions” are? If you notice, Williams didn’t ask her for specific preconditions, he just asked her what she meant by preconditions.
I’m running out of ways to say idiot, moron, etc. without resorting to bimbo. I may have to give in before this damn election is over.
PEACE
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:24 pmI fear we will spend the next 12 days trying to pry a logical, coherent statement from this woman. Our optimism seems endless and poorly placed.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:25 pmShe also apparantly thinks Ahmadinejad is a dictator. In fact the guy cant get a parking space unless Rafsanjani says so. He was elected and in fact has pretty much ZERO executive power much less absolute power. Perhaps she can cough up Iran EVER threatening to destroy the US? Know on a good day she MAY know what the word destroy means. What a loaf this woman is. I am not kidding having Palin only kept away from the Presidency by the Ancient, cancer ridden John McSrokeye is an absolute nightmare scenario.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:25 pmPreconditions to Bible Spice is just another Achilles Heel ….

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He probably was. In his defense he had to do SOMETHING to stave off the assault on his senses the STUPID pouring out of her mouth was making on him. Ten minutes listening to this inane bimbo talk has MY braincells begging for the sweet release of a coma.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:29 pmWhat are Joe Biden’s preconditions for meeting foreign leaders?
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:31 pmSo, from what I’m gathering, Palin would meet with dictators. Now that’s an interesting twist.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:35 pmHe’d probably make sure the person isn’t related somehow to the Palin family for safety reasons.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:36 pmIt’s astounding that she keeps interrupting him. And then she calls Obama Barack like they’re friends and she never calls anybody Senator, not McCain, Biden or Obama. What a tol.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:39 pmSarah is a total moron. Her mental development must have ended when she was about fourteen years old. How many weeks has she been the GOP VP nominee? Has she bothered to read our Constitution about her possible duties? No. She instead, just puts on her little tyrant cap and dreams up her plans for bullying the U. S. Senate. Sarah is a total moron.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:44 pmShe seems stumped because her head is wooden. Think Pinocchio, think! Damn, must be too much sawdust in there again.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:46 pmToo busy thinking about the clothes she will buy tomorrow perhaps?
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:46 pmLooks like Grampys asleep in that screen capture. I would be too, listening to that bimbo.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:55 pmSo eager, yet so very clueless. Palin doesn’t see any difference between preconditions and preparations. Actually, she should be familiar with preconditions, though – the McCain campaign was demanding them before they let her loose with reporters from the sinister liberal media.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:00 pmCan the MSM give this dipshit any more chances to come across as knowing something …………..Anything ?
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:01 pmShe is a complete and utter embarrassment.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:18 pmWILLIAMS: — that you both have been hammering the Obama campaign on. What — first of all, what in your mind is a precondition?
Sarah “well also that would be before you also condition
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:20 pmyour hair”.
PALIN: “…so that — that’s — that’s some ill-preparedness right there.”
WILLIAMS: But, umm, what kind of pre-condition..?
PALIN: –Oh ya, I see watcha getting at, Brian! If I was to meet someone like Ahmedinijad I’d be representin’ real America and our freedoms which they hate ya know so I’d want to look reeeel good for that Brian, so as ya know I was Miss Moose Killer 1988 and that;s how I learned the importance of shiny hair so before meeting Kim Jong Il I’d definitely pre-condition with Summit Penetrator 37 Moisturizing Vitamin Hair Treatment, and then wait a minute cuz that’s reely important Brian, and so that’s the pre-condition I’d be using. Brian.
(Note: Summit Penetrator 37 Moisturizing Vitamin Hair Treatment is a real hair pre-conditioner).
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:23 pmLOL lurker! pipped me at the post!
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:24 pmYeah right Obamas idea of talking to Iran is him just picking up the phone and give Ahmadinejad a call and “talk about the problems”.
BTW Sarah, Ahmadinejad is not a dictator
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:25 pmWinky thinks Gordon Brown is a dictator ’cause he isn’t living in America
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:27 pmAnd what is so hard to understand about preconditions? McCains advisers must have prepped her a hundred times on this. Preconditions like: First you stop the enrichment of uranium then we talk.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:28 pm5th Estate sorry. I could see her wheel turning on what
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:30 pmprecondition was.
Something else I noticed in this interview. McCain and Palin both seem VERY uncomfortable around each other. It almost like they not only don’t want to be there, they don’t want to be near each other.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:30 pmI think it might be dawning on McCain that he made one helluva mistake in his Veep pick. And Palin…just seems totally clueless about the damage she does every time she opens her mouth in an interview. By now, you would think that McCain’s people would know not to let her do anymore interviews like this, even with McCain there to backstop her.
lurker…that’s okay, I ‘m just proud that I found the Summit Penetrator hair treatment. ( And it’s only about $7!)
:)
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:35 pmJim Wolf359 Says…
Yes, Chuck Todd remarked on that on NBC (?).
Palin is the star of the show, not McCain. And though she;s the star for all the wrong reasons Palin clearly thinks she deserves the attention, she’s loving it, and she has no clue when she’s screwing up.
McCain is an attention hog too but being constantly eclipsed her must be driving him nuts! And irony of ironies she’s more of an interloper and naif than he ever accused Obama of being.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:43 pmMaybe they are uncomfortable together after Grampy made a play for her? I notice he’s always messing with his wedding band around her and looking at her legs and tush. ????
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:43 pmYa know what I’m really tired of , folks ?
Bible Spice’s continuing exhibition of her white trailer park trash existence by referring to Senator Obama as “Barack” .
When has either Senators Obama and/or Biden ever referred to that empty-headed slob as “Sarah” ?
She is such a delusionally arrogant classless pig……….
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:50 pmMcCain is VERY pissed off about Powell’s endorsement of Obama as well. Though he covered it by defending Palin, the truth is that Powell questioned HIS judgement in selecting Palin. And that stung!
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:52 pmYeah 5th I caught that interview just now. Todd really did a good job of explaing the dynamics of the relationship, such as it is. He also makes a point about the chemistry between Obama and Biden. Its not quite there yet as todd says but at least they are on messsage and the same page.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:52 pmThey also bring different strengths and temperment to the campaign which in this case is complemntary.
Ahmadinejad is an elected official – not a dictator. He has very little to do with Iran policy. He’s a glorified mouthpiece.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:07 pmWOW! Was there actually an answer in there anywhere? If there was, I didn’t hear one. I cringe whenever she attempts to answer any substantial questions.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:07 pmSomething is missing, this is not some call for preparedness nor preparation. She simply put the question regarding a situation and stated it as such. This would be naive. Okay, so precondition or preparation Governor Palin?
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:49 pmfirst it was impossible to imagine a major political party putting forth a dumber f**k for a major candidate than ronald reagan. To follow up their mastery of finding the dumbest least qualified persons for important position poppy bush foisted dan qualye of potato”e” fame on the American people. But qualye as only VP was really not completely satisfying to the Neanderthal Party. So the republicans searched far and wide to top the dumb-as*ery of reagn and found it in bush the lesser who surely, SURELY was/is the dumbest f**k ever possible/imaginable in such an important position. But no, the republicans have yet again topped themselves with the dumbest of the dumb f**ks imaginable in the form of sarah palin.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:52 pmAhmadinejad is an elected official – not a dictator. He has very little to do with Iran policy. He’s a glorified mouthpiece.
And a mouthpiece he is.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:58 pmGeneric question asker: “What’s your stance on environmental issues”?
Bible Spice: “Well, you know, the environment is outside and, we can’t do alot about the outside because we don’t really know what keeps it outside..uh… except for windows and doors so… Ya just know I’ll do everything I can to keep the environment outside”. “And you can sure bet that Jesus want’s us to keep the environment outside because the inside is like a church, where witches can’t get in, and anti-Americans can’t get in, and then we won’t have to worry about the socialists and marxists and scary Muslim terrorists named Hu u-ssane and then I’ll get Raptured”. “Don’t-cha know”.
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:40 pmThere Williams went. Getting all technical with Palin. Obviously she will whine about it being a gotcha question. An easy pre-condition I can think of is to not let Sarah Palin get even remotely close to the bargining table.
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:57 pmIncredible how that woman can say absolutely nothing with so many words.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:59 amDoes McCain have go with to hold her hand whenever she talks to a reporter now?
October 23rd, 2008 at 2:13 amAnyone stupid enough to think Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice President – should have their voting rights revoked.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:48 amActually palin speaks volumes about America in general and her fans specifically with her ignorant, moronic ramblings.
October 23rd, 2008 at 6:46 amPrecondition: Disarm your nukes then we talk.
Preparation: Knowing how to convince your opponent to see things your way.
October 23rd, 2008 at 7:28 amWas it just me or did McCain give Palin the Obama debate treatment and not look her in the eye, or face?
A good caption for the picture at the top of this article would have been:
“How much did she pay for those damn pantyhose?”
October 23rd, 2008 at 7:30 amYes, I was begging for Gwen Ifill to ask her during the VP debate to name the pre-conditions she would impose. It was obvious to me then, she had not a clue what she was talking about, had no idea what pre-conditions were, but rather had been fed that talking point. I knew she did not know — hell, it’s diplo-talk – but she sits there not knowing what a national joke she is and parrots this “he’s naive” crap without having a clue what she is saying.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:50 amI find it funny that she likes to throw the name Ahmadinejad out as much as possible. I can picture her being coached by the Republican Party and when she learned how to say that name correctly they all high-fived each other and now she tries to use it whenever possible.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 amThe new drinking game went from Maverick to Ahmadinejad.
Couldn’t help watching the Blinking,Lecherous McCain, toying with his wedding ring, staring at Palin’s legs. I’m amazing he didn’t do his maniacally evil Chuckie yellow-toothed grin. (Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that McCain’s teeth look like stubs of teeth ground down in spates of uncontrolled rage over the long time of his miserable failure of his life.
Can anyone point to any thing even remotely considered as an example of success that he has achieved on his own. Even his claim of maverickism is the result of a stupefied press converting a a boorish, loutish, ill mannered, vulgarism spouting moronic-to-the-point of less than mediocre, bribe taking, petty, born to “privilege” punk. into some comic book hero. The paucity of his perspicuity and as real patriotism is only exceeded by the nimiety of his narcissism. Every activity in which he has engaged throughout the failure, which is representative of his life, has been for self-aggrandizement of meet the criteria of his delusions of grandeur.
McCain/Palin having reached the level wherein they could become the next Administration by hook or crook is indicative of just how successful the American corporatist/oligarchy has been in its the effort to de-intellectualize hoi polloi. If not an absolute majority, they have created a large virulent, viciously vociferous plurality of uninformed, disinformed and misinformed cult-like near zombish state requiring forced remedial de-toxification and re-education. Coincident with the dumbing down process has been the demonize any organization or person one who would dare expose the tragic, destructive marginalization of an informed electorate at un American.
So successful has this been over the long term that among the dim, dumb and deluded the most disgusting epithet they hurl at their imagined enemies is “You, you…. socialist, you!!” With this invective – they think they have intellectually “nailed it”. How pathetic!
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:56 pmWhat must the rest of the world be thinking as they witness this darkest of comedies. Came across a site which is perfect. The buttheads of our time, including Palin, nominated to receive a butt on their heads. It’s hilarious – buttheadpolice.com.
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:49 pmThey really need to stop letting her talk.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:56 pmJust like the cold war when everyone who didn’t agree with the U.S. was either a communist or a communist sympathizer. toki This poor crazy guy spent half a decade being tortured because a bunch
