Cafferty: 'are you people high???'

Heh --

JACK CAFFERTY: Can I just ask a couple of quick questions. The State of Alaska has a population the size of Austin, Texas. What does she know about inner city poverty, the war on drugs?

What does she know about the Middle East?

You want to put her up against Putin and Ahmadinejad. She was the mayor of a town of 7,000 people in Alaska.

I mean you can buy this if you want, but I got 13,000 e-mails this afternoon and 90 percent of them said -- and they were from both sides of the aisle -- that the Obama people are hysterically grateful for this. They had a great convention and now they get Christmas early.

STEPHEN HAYES, "THE WEAKLY ASSWIPE" Well, then you're talking to different...

GLORIA BORGER: Can I just...

HAYES: You're certainly talking to different people than I am.

CAFFERTY: And most of the Republicans...

(CROSSTALK)

CAFFERTY: Most of the Republicans I heard from, including a lot of women, who said how dare John McCain presume, because he names an inexperienced woman from Alaska, that he can start collecting the 18 million votes that were cast for Hillary Clinton?

They're on opposite sides of all the issues. People are outraged. This is a joke.

And later, it got better...

CAROL COSTELLO: And some of the most ardent Clinton supporters, even though still loathe to vote for Barack Obama, found McCain's choice of Palin patronizing.

ALLIDA BLACK, HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTER FOR OBAMA: Well first we were just laughing. I mean, laughing not in the sense of oh, my god, what has he done, but does he really think that's going to work? I mean, does he think that women voters who were with Hillary think Hillary is some Lego block that you can take out a red one and put in a green one?

Word.
