SPDR S&P 500 (SPY)

[TJ Parker]

well, of course, its the daily show. its a comedy show. granted, its probably harder to be interviewed by a comedian/journalist than a plain journalist. but you can't blame the interviewer for a candidate coming off bad. there's all this talk of "gotcha" journalism nowadays. heh. well that's what used to be called plain-old journalism. that you can nowadays blame the journalist for exposing weaknesses in your arguments, contradictions, or whatever is just silly, and should be rejected as silly. but there's just no excuse for that exchange:

"does being mayor of wasilla prepare you for being vice president?"

mayor of wasilla: "absolutely!"

"how?"

mayor of wasilla: hem. haw. um. "what do you mean?"

"well, what is a typical day of yours like?"

mayor of wasilla: "we have staff meetins on mondays. on thursdays, i sign checks."

priceless. of course, vp is pretty much a do-nothing job too. unless the president dies.
