Another day, another blooper. Mudflats notes Sarah Palin’s clueless gaffe when she was asked about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The important thing is not what she said, but how she handled the question:
But notice that Palin didn’t dodge the question. She didn’t panic and say she’d need to check with someone, or that she needed more information, or skirt around it. She actually felt confident enough to answer, and lay it all out there – and be completely wrong. She had no clue.
At least we now know that McCain, who admitted he didn’t really know much about the economy, decided to balance the ticket by choosing a running mate who doesn’t know ANYthing.
No wonder the McCain team wants to keep her away from real journalists…
