If You Look Really Closely, You Can See Palin Actually Shit Herself

So, given the level of scrutiny -- which will happen when your interviews are so rare that they are made into special events -- I actually thought Sarah Palin wasn't disastrous. Clearly, she was regurgitating a bunch of lines spoon-fed to her by handlers, but that's to be expected, really. It was the same thing with George W. Bush, but his habit of mangling his spoon-fed lines gave it a more naturalistic feel.

Clearly, however, Palin was out of her depth, suggesting that a war with Russia was conceivable. Hey! Great idea! Fire up the nukes, lady.

I think she must have missed War Games.

You remember that video we posted yesterday, where Matt Damon freaked out at the prospect of this lady holding the codes to the nukes? Well, now we know why.

But really, the only time where she seemed legitimately stumped, where she was hit with a question her handlers had clearly not prepared her for was when Charlie Gibson asked her if she agreed with the Bush Doctrine. The vacant look that came over her was priceless. It's how I looked during those moot court sessions back in law school. But, you gotta give it to Charlie -- he attempted to fill her in without making her look stupid. Classy guy, that Mr. Gibson. But that task was just a little above his pay grade.
