In fact, in order to test this "baffled freshman called to answer a question" moment against other sentience tests, I asked the same question, "Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?" to the classic Chinese Room, www.subserviantchicken.com .
Notice that his response is as full of content while avoiding sounding quite so lost.
I mean really for God's sake. What is most needed is good Scotch and some good long quiet time with Shakespeare, the King James Bible, or Radiohead CDs.
When Charlie Fucking Gibson is wiping up the floor with someone on the verge of getting the levers of power, you know that the shark has been quite jumped.
I've a dram of Tobermory before me which has that "popcorn salt and I have to pee" feeling on the back of my tongue thatI've come to recognize with an Island single-malt (here, Mull).
Not quite the "my finger's in the light-socket again" charge of an Islay or "they've liquified my love of smoking" of a really peaty Highland like Glen Ord or Dalmore.
So, good whisky (or as the locals sing, "h-wees-keh"), but not the best I've ever had.
And I can still hear her circling back around for the second "hell-bent" and the nth interjection of his name ("Shar-lihh!").
On Morning Joe, the focus is on Charlie Gibson and not Sarah Palin.
Conservatives all of a sudden no longer know what the Bush Doctrine years. After years of it ruining our lives, all of a sudden Conservatives can't recall. Leaders need to be tough and not smart... Who cares about the details...
This is surreal. The structural defects of the Constitution and the personal defects of John McCain just might get everyone in this country killed.
How can this country survive when knowledge is not valued in the least?
Ok, could we please quit emphasizing that she's a woman? Please? I'm becoming more than a little embarrassed that she's a member of my sex.
Plus, she's an idiot and a poor choice for VP regardless of her sex.
Oh, and don't you think that the being offered the role of VP is something you think about just a little bit? I find it more than a little scary that she said yes without a moment's hesitation. I prefer leaders who are aware of their own shortcomings--Obama, for example, has admitted that he will rely on Biden's knowledge of foreign policy. But Palin doesn't even seem to know that she knows nothing. I'd like to say I'm happy I'm living outside the country, but this election doesn't just affect those of us living in the U.S. it affects every one on the planet.
Thank God for these comments, particularly yours, Roof. If it weren't for your mention of whiskey, I would have forgotten about my hurricane reserve--a sixer of Guinness. It's been in the trunk for two hours.

We are on the verge of something really, really bad.
Think Obama feels a little pressure at this point in the game? He's the one standing in their way.
Well. And maybe the voters. Maybe the voters are also in their way. We'll see.
Not only do I think she would fail any imaginable leadership test, based on this clip I think she would lose a Turing test.
Can't. let. it. go.
Country First. John McCain puts Country First. John McCain is an honorable patriot who puts his Country above all else, including politics.
Because of John McCain, we may well see this woman sworn in as President of the United States.
Watch this interview a couple more times. Let it sink in.

Is this shit that's happening even real?
Check that. The Scotch in no way has to be good.
I took your original suggestion.

Salon you beat to the punch on noting her miss understanding of the Bush agenda (or the divine agenda?).

Damnable whisky.

And: Palin's a woman.
Hey, in Canada, that Guiness would still be nice and chilly, Oxy.
And from what PW says, it would have cost twice as much.
Well, yes, there is that.
