Mike Gravel defends Sarah Palin

This is kind of a slightly outdated post, as this interview was a week ago, but I think it's relevant and shows a somewhat unique perspective of a *politician* who is a fugitive from talking points. However, the 'bridge to nowhere' isn't really discussed where there are obvious inconsistencies coming out which I think he couldn't fully defend.

Is there a transcript or summary? My computer sucks and I'm having problems watching video today.

[nikolovikis]

Yeah I tried to find a transcript but I couldn't locate one, sorry : /.
He basically says McCain made a very good choice, blasts media focus on troopergate, how her daughter's pregnancy is a private matter, claims she stood up to her party..but at the end makes it clear he would not vote for either McCain or Obama.

It's not your fault my computer sucks!

Haha! Why bother "blasting" the media then? Too funny.

gravel's nuttier than a fruitcake anyhow.

So, this is the guy that did 'superman that ho' with Obama girl?

[jazzypom]

He left the Democratic party this year? Who knew?

Re: Palin, I'm done.

LOL, yes.

[anandrine]

He actually ran for the Libertarian nomination after he was clearly losing the Democratic one.

Oh, so that's why it's all sour grapes

[jazzypom]

Glad that he won't be voting for either, but for real, re: her stepping into Troopergate, what about due process? Or Americans don't do that now? Has that been thrown out with habeas corpus?

And for all Palin standing up to corruption in her own party, her actions are rather dodgy, but w/e man, I'm done.

[ladypolitik]

Yeah, I have [had?] a love-hate thing for Gravel.
