Plain Palin is a Millionaire

11 10 2008

So much for being Joe Sixpack or plain Jane.

A million really isn’t that much. Just pays for anything I could want. But Sarah, Sarah has finer tastes as Mrs. SixPack.

Palin Claimed Dinosaurs And People Coexisted

10 10 2008

Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago — about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct — the teacher said.

To be fair how awesome would that be though? Jesus riding his pet Velociraptor into battle against the Jews as they try to crucify him! Rargggggh!!!! I wish I were a dinosaur. My arms would be sooooo small!

Sarah Palin Can’t Name a Newspaper She Reads

10 10 2008

To be fair, who reads newspapers anymore? Their is a definite lack of pictures in them. I like newspapers that read like Doctor Seuss.

“A bombing took place on Monday night, it came to all as a terrible fright. Bin Laden got away, and ran another day, but someday the murderer will be made to pay!”

Puts me right to sleep.

Palin tried to hire Terrorist Gordon Liddy as spokesperson.

9 10 2008

Sarah Palin thought it was a good idea to hire Liddy to promote drilling in ANWR. Did she know Liddy was convicted of conspiracy, burglary, wiretapping, contempt of court and contempt of Congress; was willing to kill a janitor and a journalist as part of the Watergate break-in; admitted plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution? Kidnap plans?

So wait…terrorists are bad right? I mean I thought that’s what I heard. Or is it like that time the news was saying eggs are bad for your health and everyone stopped having omelets in my house for a month?

Palin’s Alternate Universe ( or reality challenged?)

9 10 2008

Written by  BOB HERBERT of the NY Times for their OP-ED page.

In such a serious moment in American history, it’s hard to believe that someone with Sarah Palin’s limited skills could possibly be playing a leadership role.

Really Bob? Come on dude! Where ya been the last 8 years? We have already proven someone not too bright can run the country! Don’t doubt us now! We need faith to do it again!

Katharine Zaleski: Couric Interview: Palin Repeats Age Swipe

9 10 2008

From Katharine Zaleski at Huffington Post

Another day, another chance to see Katie Couric trap Sarah Palin in a rhetorical bind. This time Couric called out Palin for making a joke about Joe Biden’s age when her running mate, John McCain, is 72-years old. The best part is Palin’s explanation that her joke meant Americans need change over experience, and that’s what she represents in comparison to Joe Biden. Hmmm… Isn’t that Barack Obama’s line?

Another quote from inside the video itself.

Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you’ve said you have been listening to Joe Biden’s speeches since you were in second grade.
Gov. Palin: It’s been since like ‘72, yah.

Katie Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate, is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden’s been around awhile?

Gov. Palin: Oh no, it’s nothing negative at all. He’s got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we’ve been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he’s got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I’m the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he’s got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.

To be fair to Mrs. Palin, 72 is the new 42, making Barack Obama so young he’s just another one of those damn whipper snappers who just won’t get off my lawn!
