Bush, Cheney give Palin a vote of confidence
Some interesting tidbits on Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee who is now a media star.
The current GOP No. 2, Dick Cheney, said today that he's confident that Palin would be successful in the White House.
"Everybody brings a different set of experiences to the office and also a different kind of understanding with whoever the president is," Cheney told reporters in at the US ambassador's residence in Rome, according to the Associated Press. "Each administration is different. And there's no reason why Sarah Palin can't be a successful vice president in a McCain administration."
Cheney also said that he "loved" Palin's speech to the Republican National Convention last week, and laughed when he recounted her line about the difference between hockey moms and pit bulls being lipstick. "I thought her appearance at the convention was superb," Cheney said.
UPDATE: President Bush added his blessing of Palin, in an interview to air Tuesday morning on Fox News Channel.
"I find her to be a very dynamic, capable, smart women who, you know, it really says that John McCain made an inspired pick, to me," Bush said.
Asked about her experience, the president added, "Well, she’s had executive experience, and that’s what it takes to be a capable person here in Washington, D.C. in the executive branch.
Meanwhile, Palin, who has been kept under wraps except for scripted campaign appearances, will do her first major television interview later this week.
She will talk to ABC's Charles Gibson for multiple interviews with Gibson in Alaska over two days, most likely Thursday and Friday, said McCain adviser Mark Salter, the AP reports.
A vote of confidence from Cheney. Were I in the undecided column, that would cinch it,. Anyone who doubts McCain-Palin reprensents four more years of bailouts, rising unemployments, foreclosures and wars we didn't need and can't pay for should check ou this endorsement from the most disliked and powerful vice-president in American history. McCain-Pailin= 4 more years of Bush-Cheney
Palin's Chief of Staff..... will be a Dick Cheney replacement NeoCon?
That's right - no interviews until she's well versed/practiced in the rhetoric she didn't believe in less than two weeks ago.
But no worries. The moral majority is silent, civil and has common sense. This initial fascination with her will soon fade. When the debates begin, let the true test begin. America will know.
All Democrats should be ecstatic over Cheney’s endorsement of Sarah Palin. Her approval rating will plummet with endorsements such as this. Cheney must really dislike McCainJ
It is hard to know who is scarier Cheney or Palin. We know that while George Bush was napping in the Oval Office Bush Cheney conspired with his right wing extremist partners to bankrupt this country and start a useless war that as cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and innocent civilians in Iraq. Trillions of lost treasure, gone into the pockets of Halliburton, Blackwater, Big Oil, and the spilled blood of our finest soldiers is his legacy. If complete novice Palin would have the opportunity to takes over as president- not impossible considering McCain's age and health history, then who would be running her administration? We could look forward to a shadow administration that could make Dick Cheney look good. The McCain/Palin ploy is to shift to the extreme right of the Republican Party using a lightweight, anti-choice, creationist, anti-environment, pro-oil candidate who won her limited fame on right-wing radio talk shows. We must rejected this ploy if the United States of America is to retain its constitutional rights, its economic strength, and its self-respect.

C'mon people wake up! Iraq war was all about oil. Iraq is one of the richest oil countries in the world. we occupy is for many years and at the same time our oil prices at the pump went up while the oil companies make record profits and Iraq has a 80 billion dollar surplus on their accounts. I guess it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what is going on! Sadly enough people think that Palin is Santa to clean up the mess but in realty she just and other oil associate business person that will make money one our backs. No wonder Cheney endorsed her !!
Let me get this straight. One of the most despised politicians in American history, Richard B. Cheney (Dick to the rest of us), has given Gov. Palin his blessing!
Well, I guess we can all rest easy between now and November.
After all, if Dick's opinion is that Sarah possesses all the qualities befitting a Veep what could we possibly have to worry about? I mean, really, how does that song go? "Don't worry: Be Happy'" ... I mean what could possibly go wrong?
Oh, the horror....
Are you surprised. Palin is just a dumb as Bush. What sane woman would call herself a B__tch in front of the whole world? Isn't a female pit bull a B___tch? LOL
