Latest on The View Couch -- Bill Maher Takes on Sarah Palin

LOL...I love it... He is great!!! Speaks the truth!!!

Another case of the liberal main stream media piling on Sarah Palin?
Well, Bill Maher is a comedian but so what? let's whine against everybody being against Sarah anyway.

You know emma, you may be right about Maher, but he was sure dead on about Palin.

emma. i am a woman and feel the exact same way about Palin

Did Bill bring up Biden watching FDR on TV in 1929 while he was flying though heavy fire in Iraq? Or did he jus bash Palin.

Unable to intellectually compete with political rivals, libs like Maher try hard to substitute ridicule for reason. It briefly amuses a vapid, book-free, TV-addled constituency, but alas, as polical strategy, hate speech fails miserably. Big media and their pimps can make anyone appear dumb. They tried it with Dan Quayle, who by the way is a very scholarly guy. Despite onslaughts of defamatory claptrap, Quayle ascended to the Vice Presidency despite a vicious canpaign of HATE, thinly nominated as "humor?" If dummy libs (is there any other kind?) did not obsess their little heads, day and night, over the brainy babe from Alaska, Palin would have faded as a phenom. People like Maher ensure Palin's election. And I, another drop-dead gorgeous, brilliant, conservative woman (the kind of woman out of Maher's league) get the last laugh! Again.

jamescbuilder: "Did Bill bring up Biden watching FDR on TV"

As pointed out by some conservatives, Palin is being put under the microscope due to her unprecedented hiding from the people. Biden has already sunk one campaign for president through gaffes, arguably two.

Biden has done about 100 times more interviews than Palin during this campaign and is therefore cut more slack - for every stupid mistake he makes, there are dozens of hours of meaty, technical foreign policy discussion or pictures of him flying to Georgia to help out after the Russian attacks (at the explicit invitation of their government who know and respect him, as do most foreign leaders).

How many hours, even minutes, of Palin speaking unscripted are in the can that conservatives can be proud of?

She is an idiot and anyone supporting this women should have their heads examined. Your really can't believe this woman has the intelligence to run this country. She doesn't have a clue. Bill Maher was right on.

Anyone who continues to defend Sarah Palin either hasn't seen the Katie Couric interview; cannot comprehend what that interview reveals; is too consumed by conservative ideology to put "Country First"; or, adheres so fanatically to a pro-life advocacy that any reason or semblance of sanity fails them. To these folks the growing fears of true conservatives -- columnists and pundits and political operatives whom they've agreed with out of blind faith, and now reject upon the same basis -- mean nothing. The stage, then, is ripe for the utter molestation of this once great country by a fraud incapable of hiding even that most humiliating secret.

I LOVE how the McCain Camp is crying the media is playing GOTCHA with sarah palin.

How can they claim its GOTCHA journalism when its simple questions ask to their candidate.. who is applying for the position of VP , She has not been able to answer the questions due to the fact she is NOT qualify or educated enough for the position.

Miss palin is the one who wants to be VP , We the people are the ones who want to see these questions ask to determine if she is QUALIFY.

No different if we went into a job interview and was completely clueless on 90% of the stuff.Imagine if we left the job interview crying they were doing GOTCHA questions.

The so called liberial media is not the one pointing out she is not qualified for vp its sara herself i kinda feel sorry for her AND SHAME ON YOU MCCAIN FOR PUTTING HER IN THIS POSITION I DONT LIKE HER BUT MCCAIN SUNK TO A NEW LOW WHEN HE DID THIS AND SARA WHY DONT YOU STEP DOWN before mccain and his campaign embaress you even more DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDRENS SAKE!

As to Maher and all the other liberals and conservatives in this lastest Pity Palin Party, her malapropisms and run-on non-sentences and mindless blathering only underscore McCain's poor judgment and rash, reckless temperament in not vetting her properly. THAT is the issue here.

palin does have one advantage over Biden. Joe can not see Russia from Delaware...

The View? What a joke

What a man! Gossips behind one's back like a school girl.

emma divine: It is not being misogynistic to point out Sarah Palin's very serious shortcomings.

I assure you that if Sarah Palin were a man, there would be as much criticism of lack of background, knowledge of national and international affairs, and poor performance in interviews. The only difference would be that instead of calling her Caribou Barbie, we'd call her Caribou Ken.

Do you assume that every time someone criticizes a woman, sexism is the reason? Do you think a woman candidate never deserves criticism? That's a pretty sexist viewpoint.

I am a woman, not a liberal, and I think Maher and other critics of Palin are right on. The woman is simply unqualified, and her public appearances are embarrassments for women as well as for the GOP.

The Palin Pity Party needs to stop.

If she had half a brain, she never would have accepted the VP offer... she didn't blink only because of her blind ambition and greedy need to be in power.

She ruined the budget of Wasilla, she abused her power as Gov. and now she wants to go to war with russia as VP.

This woman should be able to take the punches just like everyone else in politics.

I am sick of the McCain camp using the coward card and crying sexism every time she fouls up a question.

If a person wants to be president or vice president, they better be ready to accept the scrutiny of the media and the public without whining and that includes Palin.

To continue to pity her and say "poor sarah" is an excuse to the obvious. She is not capable of handling the job.

In july she said "hold me accountable"

Now she says she is being thrown "gotcha" questions by voters.... Please, it is really sickening now.

She should be worried about the trooper-gate problem she is having... a witness has just now flipped in their testimony.... saying now that yes, Palin did pressure her to deny wooten's workers comp claim...

I will not and will never pity Palin... she wants the power, now she needs to earn it... it will not be handed over to her.

Get over the Palin pity party... its a cop-out for a candidate who can't handle the interview.

She is at boot camp so the gop says .Wow lots of faith in what this broad knows ,,,,Tells me she doesn't have to much knowledge of what she is SUPPOST to know....................SCARY.

maher and those mindless women can make fun of palin all they want; in the process, they mock middle america. we are not new york and not los angeles and we like it that way. our lives are based on God, family and country and we are proudly patriotic.

By the same token, let's not put one ounce of credibility into something an entertainer(?) says.
