    Incredibly immature person. This will backfire on McCain, and reflect poorly on his judgment.

    Immature and inexperienced. When you go on a shock jock show, you know what to expect. Palin said later in the program she would be honored to host a visit from the shock jocks in the future. Disgusting performance.

    Here's the audio.

    Did she blow you off or something?

    No. She was picked to be the vice presidential running mate by McCain, if you haven't heard. If McCain wins, and something happens to him, she will be President of the United States. How does that make you feel about McCain's lack of judgment?

    I know nothing about her, except what was said at her intro on Friday. So, I'm looking for articles. What I find tells me she is inexperienced and immature as a political leader.

    Case of a big fish from a small pond.

    Here's the critical question. Based on the interview from the Bob and Mark show, don't you agree she sounds immature, both as a person, and as a political leader? She knows its a "shock jock" show, yet she chooses to go on there.

    Bill Mahr. Saturday Night Live. The Daily Show. They go where they think they can get some airtime.

    I think you may be letting your emotions cloud reality. The media is what it is - horrible all the way around.

    The shows you cite are all mainstream comedies. You haven't seen any major political figures on Howard Stern, have you? They all have better sense than to go with a cursing shock jock.

    Sarah didn't want to slur her opponent herself, she went where someone else would do it for her, and laughed WITH them. What an embarrassment.

    No. It sounds like she has a sense of humor which is something you could use, apparently.

    There is a time to joke and and time to maintain ones decorum. Taste and judgment tell which is which. Sarah Palin blew it, no judgement. It's not just my opinion.

    Anchorage Daily News, link above.

    Those are the folks from her own state, in Jan. this year before there was any national interest in her.

    This is not the time to invoke your sense of humor. You certainly would not if Obama had done the same. You'd be all over him, and I think I'd have the decency to agree with you. This is deplorable behavior, you have no defense for it, so you incorrectly say I should have a sense of humor. She's immature and everyone can see it.

    This person is not ready to be president.

    Wrong. I'd be surprised though.

    Waited too long to make a very important decision, who will be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Poor John.
