Sarah Palin talks to Glenn Beck:
This clip, which is remarkably similar to many others of Palin, made me think of the following quip from John Cole:
This is like one of those awkward moments in school when a student is giving a presentation they are completely unprepared for, and the teacher knows it, the student knows it, and everyone watching knows it, yet you sit there and go through the charade.
Here’s the partial transcript:
Beck asked: "Who’s your favorite Founder?"
"You know, well, all of them, because they came collectively together with so much–" Palin began, in a manner much like her non-answers to Katie Couric’s questions about which newspapers she’s read ("All of them.") and which Supreme Court decisions she’s disagreed with (which brought a similarly broad answer about how there are a lot of decisions).
"Bullcrap," Beck interrupted. "Who’s your favorite."
"–so much diverse and so much diversity in terms of belief, but collectively they came together — and they were led by, of course George Washington, so he’s got to rise to the top."
Give credit to Beck for at least calling “bullcrap” (a timid one, especially for Beck, though it was) on the response.
For the record, mine is James Madison.
