Hahahahaha!
Syrinx why would you laugh at her? I mean uhh uhh I don’t know I uhh uhh I dont know
Still makes more sense than Barry n’ Bidebrain.
What was the highest grade that Palin graduated?
The rest of us idiots want to know.
Ha not to loong ago JCD was making fun of obama with that vid (i dont know how he connected the two of em together). But i think this has a whole lot more connection with Palin. Both of them are Bimbos.
Any body that supports this woman for vice president of the usa, dosent like the usa.
#4 – Bac
After attending the following five colleges (none of which had any entry requirements):
* Hawaii Pacific University (Fall 1982),
* North Idaho College (Spring 1983 & Fall 1983),
* University of Idaho (Fall 1984 – Spring 1985),
* Matanuska-Susitna College (Fall 1985) and
* University of Idaho (Spring 1986, Fall 1986 and Spring 1987 ).
after 6 long years, she finally got that BA in journalism.
Shur beats them effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals from the Ivy League, always thinkin’ they’re better’n ya, jes ’cause they’re smart.
Conservatives are can’t stop projecting their worst traits on liberals.
McCain accuses Obama of being just like Paris Hilton and then he finds an equal lightweight for his VP.
Seriously! Paris Hilton’s policy on energy is as least as substantial as anything I’ve heard Palin say.
You really can see Russia from Alaska.
She looks seven months pregnant.
#8 – jbenson2
That picture was taken from Little Diomede Island, which is about 15 miles west of the Alaskan mainland. And the “Russia” that is depicted in the picture is actually an island about 15 miles east of the Russian mainland.
So, to paraphrase Obama, “yes, jbenson2 is right”. Technically, you can see a Russian island from an Alaskan island.
However, to use this as some sort of support for Sarah’s claim that she “can see Russia” (as though that meant squat about squat in the first place) is typical Republican weasel-speak.
Hey, I can see the ocean from my house. Does that make me the ruler of the Queen’s Navy?
Can’t wait for the moose slaughter on Thursday…
Can’t wait until the debate with Biden. After that, I think she’ll pull a Harriet Myers and admit she’s completely unqualified.
This woman is way over her head.
Very nice. Now, how about one showing B. Hussein, (Kingfish), explaining his policies to Amos. Sexism is OK? Then let’s have some Racism, too. Democrats! These two issues drive you guys, don’t they?
#7: “Conservatives are can’t stop projecting their worst traits on liberals.”
This bit of human nature occurs to numerous people all around the world, especially in cultures that harbor exaggerated, simplified modes of “socially acceptable” ethos.
Republicans and Al Qaeda are two that fit this mold. There is more similar under their skin than either would admit to openly.
Both tend to put enormous faith in things other people tell them, building self-preservational consensus by adopting points of view that don’t stand up to tests of truth or scientific scrutiny.
According to both, you’re not smart/old/included -enough to handle the truth, mister. Both have been anointed by the very core Force of Creation to do “his” bidding. Everyone outside the inner circle is to be manipulated into compliance. All tools available are permitted under the theory that you can fool all the people all the time up to at least election day, after which you have done enough.
Aside: Can you imagine how the Central Creative Entity of everything that ever was and ever will be is really at heart a vengeful, petty, catastrophic power who delights in propagating thought processes truncated by death, lies, confusion and destruction of every kind?
The articles one can find among these Dvorak blogs tend to shed some light on it, chief among them:
http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=24216
http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=23823
This shows her intelligence. From her interview with Katie Couric:
KATIE COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with healthcare, housing, gas and groceries, allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy, instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
GOV. SARAH PALIN: That’s why I say, I, like every American I’m speaking with, we’re ill about this position that we have been put in, where it is the taxpayers looking to bailout. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the- oh, it’s got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So, healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we have-we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
Huh???
#15 – iditarod dog
I predict that if they don’t give her some heavy-duty media training before Thursday, she’ll be Harriet Meiers’d before Letterman comes on.
#15. Agreed. There is no question Palin is in debate bootcamp. That explains her absence at the end of the debates with Rudy pinch hitting for her.
If Palin sounds like she above during the real debates, the GOP must consider another shock hail mary pass. She needs to be ready to show her tits in case of an emergency.
#13, Buzzed,
I was with you right up to the point where you wrote:
This bit of human nature …
After that you kind of lost all sense of rationality. If you want to believe in some pie in the sky “Force of Creation” you are bound to be a little off your mental rocker.
I have to go with the flow here. The only possible way for McCain to win is to replace Palin. Doing that would then open him up to critisism about the initial choice.
Either way he is screwed. The choice becomes on how badly he wants to be screwed.
If he needs a female as a running mate, the Republicans have several well qualified women that could match Biden and possibly even steal many Democrat votes. Olympia Snowe comes to mind as do Elizabeth Dole or Kay Baily Hutchinson (to a lesser extent). Even Condi Rice (if interested) would be a good choice-attractive, intelligent, articulate, female AND black.
What really makes me laugh is that no one has called Palin on her forgetting Canada. Yeah, she talks about “seeing Russia from Alaska” but.. uhm… isn’t Canada a border country that you CAN see from the mainland?? Sure, they are a close ally, speak the same languange, and all, but they are still a foreign country.
