Avi Nelson dislikes Sarah Palin

Nouvel is world headquarters building and veterans -- room.

Good morning it is WRKO it is Finneran is foremost -- Todd and -- on vacation I -- Nelson is here. We've sent its state Treasurer Tim -- on his way -- it's worked on behalf of the state. And we are gonna talk about it for the first I. Nice job area with the doughnuts in the coffee and come back anytime and before -- let you give us the lottery. And -- we -- be here yeah Amy can come back at Simon. -- She's a wonderful -- and she's doing and again. She's doing it again she is standing up for great American values. You reverend you know I sport you get a little bit of credit for saying that with a straight face that. She says you'll leave office at the end of month is already though taking on a national issue calling the Obama administration's plan to reduce greenhouse gases. A threat to the US economy. It is true or -- at what other national leader could get that story out there and onto the on to the news cycle into the new site fallen into our consciousness. You know the if you wanna talk about her sort of having. A celebrity status and that's exactly how politics work today do we not just elect a celebrity to the White House how -- did that work out there worked out great he won and well as -- well. As a president he's a disaster but that's not gonna change the fact toward botnets are gonna change the fact that Americans vote. Based on celebrity now it's a TV culture. And nobody knows what's going on actually in the news they get sold ridiculous story lines by the media that have nothing to do with reality. And so they voted for the chosen one and -- the only way to undo that next time around will be to fight fire with fire --

let her know that that the trouble of Sarah Palin. Is not her positions that the trouble is that. She's very polarizing figure and the reason for those of us who are not and -- however the reason we have hesitation. These because. She doesn't communicate. Knowledge. -- time us intelligence. In an ability to to command. The kind. -- issue and -- discipline required. To lead the free world. You know you when you're good looking girl you can get away with you betcha and a few winks and a smile. But after that when someone ask you what you read. To get informed and -- and you can don't have an answer and where you can't can you name me an intellectual position that she -- I understand she's.

Consider what you mean intellectual question well tummy and intellectual president Joe Biden heads -- I'm not a supporter of Biden but what we're talking about Sarah Palin and I don't know. Which -- harsher panel thinks about and I don't know I don't think she does think about it. You're taking my line that your product that's what I like about you -- what you. -- because with the -- the political world -- and -- political world we've been shoved into because of the Democrats. It's election of Obama. Is that it's what you need to do win elections is have actors basically playing the role of candidates. Obama pretended to be the change candidate he did a good job of pretending to be change -- pretending to be qualified for the presidency when he wasn't. So he when he won because he became the darling of the media. How do you fight that you need your own darling of the media. Sarah Palin is the Republican darling she. Attracts the camera and the focus once you have that that becomes the channel through which you can -- first of all leadership she's un electable. Because there are too many people who oppose are vigorously she has extremely -- change that in the general election well look if you're gonna say to me that she's gonna go off and learn a lot and sound like she knows what she's talking about she would have to do that would be and she's got a long way to go no I you do that the -- know idols they most rational.

I don't know why didn't she do it. When she was being vetted for vice president she should've been spending twenty hours a day learning about the issues having people come in until about she didn't either because she wasn't smart enough to know she had to do -- or she was unable to do it. And she's been in the limelight for about a half a year. And there's nothing to instill any confidence that she has. That in some intellectual capacity to have a have a a flawed. That is impression at all she is good he's being in effect which years which is. A beauty contest winner if she were a male. And talking like this she would have been laughed off the podium from the get go she gets -- women get away with those things to understand their different standards and she's paid a price for she had been subject to extraordinary vertical ridicule. And extremely harsh criticism which a man would never have had to go through fair enough. But she gets some benefits -- subconscious as a warm and -- by the way -- make a suggestion to leave the infant home. You know sometimes you're involved with adult things and the child should not be there.

Crying in the are completely -- all I'm saying my only difference from you is this I believe that she needs educator self I thought she would have I thought you would use this period of time. To be studying and to demonstrate an ability to lead in Alaska that's what I would have wanted from her -- I've been her consultant that would have in the game plan. However we live in a world in which people don't vote for leadership they don't vote for wisdom they don't vote for intelligence they vote for media appeal. Therefore to have a chance to get the good guys to win an election. You need some people. Who have the media.

hockey mom you know they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull. Lipstick.

electrified that was sure she is a bigger celebrity than Barack Obama that was her high point that was taken from this feature for some maiden speech at the Republican National Convention. Which she did each draw ordinarily she also did extraordinarily well on her her rollout speech went -- when John McCain introduced her she was astoundingly. Good. This woman what has communication skills I was the robot speech are you so that was the Republican Convention here now chuckle when he announced for the day when he announced her. She was sensational not I'm not talking we knew about her firm for weeks before the -- and -- when she was introduced as a she and a very good at the beginning when you can be superficial and because it. You have to fight fire with fire. It's a celebrity world that Obama is president but argued Dolan and up with somebody who once so who's gonna win election and John Boehner -- and I Mitch McConnell I don't know. It's a little bit early. Look for years ago finance -- who was going to be that. The democratic nominee Obama would have been very little in the -- exactly and Giuliani would have been at the top exactly -- it's a celebrity world now. But the point is that over the course of time we will get other candidates what I do that's fine when I don't wanna have happened news. Gee let's get a celebrity who get elected and then do a terrible job in office which not only is not good for the country. But will do damage to the reply I think she would do a good job as leader because the of the primer role the president. Has hours reading this -- So all you need to do is hire the appropriate writers and she'd quit after the first year Dennis good morning -- WRKO IV Nelson is in for Tom this morning. Hello Dennis.

I -- Leo good to evolve first of all I agree with you inherit your assessments of this whole thing you really love your Todd. -- Just tell you a little bit about me what I want to Auburn New Hampshire they asked if I want to be independent Democrat Republican. -- well since there's no chance that'll ever. Vote for a Democrat in my life because I come from low mass and not obligate very well might as well register Republican that's. Any any candidate. On the Republican ticket. That takes the and it trashing its -- are ailment are and can and wind upstanding some Al is Mike panic you know number one. Number two anybody that in these -- yes -- BC. And it just does that works. Anybody that they trash I'm more -- Take Judd Gregg Jarrett Gregg went to Washington and it was the dialing of mr. Obama and channel unit mr. Obama look bad. And what that com. At that point Scripps Howard -- what a wonderful little. -- will -- in the paper about how he took personal money and re develop. Our six focus here the does not pointing. My point being that I'm what Sarah Palin and who ever. The mainstream media trashes.

All right thank you that's as I like the conclusion that's a good one. Well you know he has a point that we've Republicans do not get. Good treatment from me from the mainstream media. Especially the and I think part of your harshness I I I understand why your harsh about Sarah Palin's performance because -- very pour in those interpreters but. She was extremely portly handled by the McCain campaign put into a box and I think when chief was finally let out of technical and that she wasn't prepared to fly. And is that there was kind of our first -- you know time he never make excuses for people in political life. Why are you making excuses for her that somehow it's handlers McCain's fault she should have been treated differently. And Obama because they did a terrible job -- about vice president of the United States heartbeat from the presidency especially guy was 72 years -- She's supposed to be ready for prime time if she's not she shouldn't be there by it's a question what she's ready for I think a more important today. Then being these seasoned decision maker is the ability to handle the performances of on the.

She was ready for question of what newspapers do you what she was obviously frozen with fear and Monroe and because it wasn't because of that -- things it was a because that question was because of the circumstances she was at -- read all let's go to Tom in -- NWR -- Tom good morning.

Morning guys. Is it a -- knotted at the criteria must thank you for the you know while it looked and idea I think you're -- a lot -- with his Arab it was day I don't know the other current that the god made it very. Hatred they have -- And -- community activists Communists. Put it put a little relative it's all true and you know what he's -- the country's Sarah Palin is. Figure out in great part about what she says what every American is pretty much thinking that they'll vote taxes. Go up and out of the way. So you'll caught you know yeah the -- that the people wanna yes I don't didn't look.

You you're you're asking me if there were choice between Palin and Obama would be an easy choice as the awards for me. When it was McCain -- it you would vote for Sarah Palin over Barack Obama yes all day ago now -- looking for -- but that's not it's a look at somebody better comes -- are out all Ford who would be better have you seen anyone who would be better -- I'm Brady did dump her time as low as soon as somebody who can. Comes on who can make the sparkle happen Majid.

You need somebody. Who. As. Of the where -- to be a good person and it's not sufficient to say okay you found somebody that I would prefer over Obama I could take the Boston telephone book. And find people prefer but he is the chosen one I understand that if she's better than the chosen one. Or more different life I need somebody who communicates an ability to handle the presidency. I mean boy you are stickler for India Australia real problem can you imagine earth -- I mean. Sarah Palin Vladimir Putin's announcement also shown Wladimir would fold under the pressure and I -- did a -- I think it would have to be holding his. His briefing books over his private parts. Well -- in that case. She was dismantle them without saying award she should mention that's my point she gets. -- she'll never be able to get unless she unless she undergoes a dramatic metamorphosis which I don't think she's capable you know I'm not -- matter. She does not strike me as intellectually gifted which means I don't even think she can acquire the skill and knowledge that you wanted to. If she guns.

I don't think she's interest to them policy. I think what she's interest designer that's a runner draw their supermarket they're too and -- to the job there's the performance part which takes up 98% of your time. And there's maybe 2% that's got to do with the leadership stuff. That behind the scenes what decisions do you make most of those decisions are guided. All day long by underlings -- check in once -- while on you know how does this fit with our principles kind of decisions. But that. We it has become because of television a performance job what does Barack Obama -- he jets from one speech in the next has he seen those speeches before now. He opens the book. To pretend that he's reading off the book and or in case a teleprompter goes down in any reads with a teleprompter tells them decide he says the same speeches 35 times a week. And then they Yemen news speech the next week that's what being president is today you have to be good at the performance stuff.

In that he. It's cute but it's not true I may not like what Obama stands for but he does stand for things affect our problems and problem -- that's exactly what she stands for things as well -- I'll -- she loves them out Obama is not intellectually incapable fact that's that's the danger when you have somebody using competent in the office office and I think. I think that Sarah Palin. Is unable to formulate policy unable to come up with with strategy I don't know what the woman stand should just ask Todd.

Which is what everybody should definitely -- get our -- conclude that taking them or think. Durability -- chaotic Nelson is here hi Greg.

There are in no -- article put you to vote your way up on this one than if I think it. You know you've been hanging around the the little chattering snobbery class a little too long rest of them I mean. As you know it issued a simple purpose and she viewed the world in black and white and that you know. How how smart they have to yeah believe. How are smart -- would be that this Europe to figure out that big government at bat it's this simple promise them. You know and everything is being president is business as part of the time and place. In -- got to be a backlash against Obama. There's a backlog to -- the press the play that caller that the people recognize what happened in Al. And I think that you know it is you're right about the communication she could get rid of -- at work on a few things but if she did that you don't she could be the next president.

And I don't think she can be the next president but but you're saying that philosophically. As a matter of politics -- which he stands for showed why. What that that's not enough to our whole bunch of people. But in public life who are conservative which is what she is. -- it really does come down to how you communicate that and how you handle yourself when your face with some tough questions if you cannot get by. What do you read. Then you know they hear your.

budget but to be fair there are other elements of judging her history this is a woman who self made. Who took herself from PTA to mayor. To governor. While taking on the special interest in the state and everybody says including liberals and Alaska it will tell you before she got plucked out of the state by John McCain. She was doing a good job leading the state. So there is other stuff to go on beside her moments of implosion with John McCain well there it is true that some people can function of the state level or not referred from the nationally only not readiness is she's. She's been isolated in the boon -- it's like she's from Australia come -- you know people do read and they can find out what's going she's been too busy scanning animals and you know what does a certain kind of education that comes with fishing and hunting. In living off the land and being involved in a state that's a little more rugged design elements of that that I find very it will ever she speaks I always have the feeling that when I'm about here is. And beauty contest that's because the minute as Greg said you're part of the snobbery blood -- and and -- and you are little -- no because you are your happen to be a conservative member of the intellectual punditry -- got the same snobbery there's a difference between running to what school did you go to your training to be a beauty queen and went to Yale and it. Mary that's try to sort yet yeah opened it she lets us state. School. -- and rally good morning Aaron -- York young men got out where did Reagan.

I. I would are urged Arab element hard. And then turn. Obama. And actually that's actually.

Obama used his entire career to avoid ever. Having an opinion that could be tied to him more policy. That's what he did for his proving himself ready for the presidency where's Sarah's been out there fighting for specific policies -- entire career.

And quite and -- actually never ran against an account and that is near Chicago politics and -- of -- that it. The record we have no idea what everybody I am probably one of them that ability whether he'd done he'd given up. Probably triple -- and play patient.

I -- this comforted him despite the fact that he's sending America down the tubes obvious comforted by the fact that he's intellectual.

wouldn't -- Right Hezbollah we have no idea what he accomplished Democrat side Sarah Palin. Go actually I'm or that we now have to -- some. It'll be an out what kind did you bought into the negative.

You say he's very gullible deep down you set up the faults of a false comparison here. You on the one hand to talk about Barack Obama oh with whom I have tremendous disagreement -- the but you're comfortable of them as president -- not a -- from a in terms of Isabel unsolved say he's so able that he scares you now he scares me because because he's so able because there's power to in with a two Arenas scalable disease stroke. But Sarah Palin is a different issue and it's done nothing to do with one or the other is not. Sarah Palin. Is it has a prominent all right don't have the feeling I think you're real real when you listen terror. That you're about to hear that you think that question -- relation beauty contestants at the end. You know how it.

I believe that through the night that we Americans are unable to be sound. He had at that comment that the people out there and our nation and it's old house and security I never believed that I or anywhere else.

the title to do this she. Bill bill -- summed it up I'd far more eloquently than I could. Most -- which is Boston's best.
