One should actually be all the more concerned about Jim Antle's
use of the word, "tutor." The idea that the potential head of state
will be receiving... tutoring? She will be the president of the
Senate! Grammatically speaking, this interview reeks of disaster,
the consequence, unfortunately, of nervousness. She sounds very
similar to the Miss Teen USA from South Carolina. This doesn't mean
she's stupid -- it just means that she's fantastically nervous.
Wlady just pointed out that she prefers to just take the points
from advisers and to work on them on her own. That's a mistake. She
needs to spend time with her journalism-school trained journalists
and have them ribbing her. She needs to get used to this. There
need to be cameras. Lights. Uncomfortable chairs. I agree with
Philip's concern about her inexperience on foreign policy, and
further her lack of knowledge on national security. If McCain's
supposed to be the foreign policy the-world-is-a-dangerous-place
candidate, Palin needs to convey a better sense of what's going on,
not simply the first principles.
