They're So Bad at the "Name One Thing" Question

First, disgraced talk show host Kevin James couldn't tell Chris Matthews what Neville Chamberlain did to appease Hitler. Now, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds got caught on CNN unable to name anything Sarah Palin did as commander the Alaska National Guard, the national security experience he cited as her ability to be Commander-In-Chief over Barack Obama. Campbell Brown was ready to jump across the split-screen and strangle him.

This is what happens when someone turns into a talking points machine, unable to answer anything outside of his extremely limited realm of knowledge of his own candidate. He'll get around two hours sleep tonight. CNN replayed this a couple of times this afternoon.

And yes, you're not on drugs. At around 3:50 in, he does indeed say, "On our ticket, John McCain and Governor Palin, between the two of them, have far more command experience in the military than either of the candidates on the Democratic side!"

I swear, they've just given up. I'm also heartened that a few cableheads aren't accepting talking points as answers anymore.

The trolls aren't even touching this one.

I think the fish rots from the head. how long did Big Media allow the idiot in chief to give the same freaking answers to EVERY freaking question? shoot, it seems like years. naturally, the Grand Old Party thinks this is how it works - if something will probably embarass them then people probably won't see it. thank god for the viral video and mynah bird dumbasses who don't think they'll be required to think.

god bless them every one!
