Wonk Room: Palin Unable To Name Specific Examples Of McCain ‘Pushing For More Regulation’
Matthew Yglesias: Palin Says McCain Wants to Regulate Wall Street; Can’t Cite Any Examples

bjustice@vhpla.com What a gotcha question. She did not do well. However I wonder how Obama would have stuttered through that. Just some questions on how to fight terrisom, balance the economy, improvements in energy is what I would like to hear. We keep hearing all these stupid questions on Pass Ports and Forein policy. She has no experience in those areas and we all know it. We need a fresh start with some fresh faces and someone from mainstream America. She could do better than most that have been there for years.
Palin unable to name any examples of McCain ‘pushing for more regulation’ in the past 26 years.
Think Progress —
In her interview with Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) tonight, CBS’s Katie Couric noted that the governor has said, “John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business.” “Can you give us any more examples of his leading the charge for more oversight?” Couric asked. Palin, however, refused to answer the question directly, instead going on about how McCain is seen as a “maverick.” When pressed further by Couric, Palin was unable to name any examples of McCain pushing for more regulation:
PALIN: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his ...
Palin Unable To Name Specific Examples Of McCain ‘Pushing For More Regulation’
Wonk Room —
Tonight, during her interview with Katie Couric, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) dodged repeated inquiries about Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) regulatory record. When pressed by Couric “to name a specific example, in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation,” Palin fumbled:
COURIC: I’m just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.
PALIN: I’ll try to find you some and I’ll bring them to you.
Watch it:
Palin may be looking for the ...

This time around you have to feel bad for Sarah Palin. For once, it’s not her inexperience and — worse — lack of knowledge that’s really at issue here. Rather, she’s being asked to serve as a public face for the McCain campaign’s fundamentally dishonest pitch that McCain is anything other than a by-the-book right-wing deregulator of the financial system:
It’s a real moose in the headlights look.
Igor Volsky at the Wonk Room has some actual facts. ...

Sarah Palin channels Kirk Watson
The Moderate Voice —
Remember during the Democratic Primary campaign the uncomfortable TV moment when Chris Matthews asked Texas State Senator Kirk Watson of Austin to name a single legislative accomplishment of Barack Obama’s? And he got stuck?
Looks like Sarah Palin did the same thing today when asked to name a single Wall Street reform measure beyond the proposed Freddie/Fannie law 2 years ago. He’s been there 26 years and Palin could not cite a single answer. Watch how she responds to Katie Couric: ...
Military Attorney Major Barry Wingard Reveals Injustices Continue at Gitmo, White House & Mainstream Media Don't Seem to Care

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION by co-editor of Political Carnival.com Major Barry Wingard is an attorney who represents an innocent Kuwaiti detainee named Fayiz al-Kandari . Fayiz has been in imprisoned -- and abused -- for 7 ½ years. In Fayiz's opinion, and I trust him over most who have never been a guest at Hotel Gitmo, conditions there are worse than they were before . To add salt to his many wounds, Fayiz is still waiting for his day in court. How in the world did a nice, well-to-do, well-educated guy such as Fayiz end up in Gitmo? He was in Afghanistan doing charity work. He gave, they took... his freedom. 95% of the prisoners captured in Afghanistan ...
