Not nearly as scary as Mad Joe Biden whenever he opens his Gob.
Heh...4 years of Mad Joe's drivel - it's gonna be good

^ Biden thinks he is bambam's daddy -- I must be in the room and the last person you speak to about every decision. Let him keep on; he'll shoot hisself.

raycarey

jet seems to be confused (again). clearly she's referring to the bush/cheney relationship...except no one shot 'hisself'....but cheney did shoot someone in the face.

Panda

The usual red herring.^

Lets change the subject and talk about someone else.

OK Pandy, hows this,
Playboy just offered Sarah Palin $1 million to pose nude in the 2009 February issue.

Michelle Obama got the same offer - from the National Geographic!!!

There, ain't that better

Panda

Thankyou.

Wonder if they are going to get a few shots of her shooting moose in the nude from a chopper? I suppose they would have to use the airbrush to touch the pics up a bit as that old minge would be a bit out of shape after 6 kids.

Boon Mee

Uh...back to Mad Joe who's much more interesting - Leno & Lwtterman are having a field-day with this clown these days!

It's still a Sarah palin thread . . . why not post the youtube links on the Michelle Obama/Bide.Obama threads . . . and comment there.


(I didn't find any 'field-day' clips, please post them . . . in the appropriate thread)

panama hat

Bambam? Hisself? Using a ; . . .


Yeeeeeha! We is the Vancouver Hillbillies . . . Maw, Paw, me and the young-uns!


Where do you get this snippet of information from? And what does it have to do in a Sarah Palin thread?

The woman is a Republican trainwreck and I really do wonder how intelligent or even semi-intelligent people think she has what it takes to lead the country . . . any country or county even.

^ Booners is out there in his own little world.
Just humour him PH.

IMO, Palin was a gamble that went bust.

McCain was a good candidate. Palin was a poor choice. I don't know if that's what sunk the true American hero's campaign, but it certainly didn't help. Any Dem (pick one) probably would have won the election -- not for their skill and organization and popularity, rather for the expectation that anything that even remotely resembled a Republican was sour.

She's a better pin-up model than Republican front (wo)man.

Boon Mee

Yeah, but she needs to do something about her hair.
Looks like a rats nest...

Norton

John was in the wrong party at the wrong time. Anyway it's history now and so is Palin. She's had more than her share of fame. Amazing this thread continues!

raycarey

mccain would have been beaten even worse if he hadn't picked palin......anyway, he had his chance in 2000 and you can thank bush/rove for torpedoing his campaign.....in 2008 he was a shell of his former self both literally (a 72 year old man who seemed lost and confused at times) and figuratively (sucking up to fundamentalist christians).

Panda

I think McCain had a good chance until Palin started opening her mouth. The Republicans were dead in the water from that point on.

Trying to get the womens vote with a female v/prez candidate was a gamble that looked pretty good in the beginning but turned to shit when Palin came under scrutiny. Palin was a godsend to the media carnivores. The best thing that could have happened for the Democrats. Until the Republicans can come up with a female candidate with half a brain, they better steer clear of trying to get the womens vote by just putting an xx chromosome on the ticket.

In the end it doesn't matter much to the rest of the world anyway because US foreign policy and the mismanagement of the worlds default trading currency is going to be pretty much the same under Obama as Bush. The era of the US world financial/ military empire is drawing to a close as all empires do.

Sarah Palin is hilarious.


From her new PAC website:
Dedicated to building America's future, supporting fresh ideas and candidates who share our vision for reform and innovation.


So what are those fresh ideas? Well, there's a "Donate Today!" button, and a "About Sarah" button, and a place to sign up for emails. Are those ideas? Because really, that's all the site has.


Yup, about as vapid as Sarah herself.

Trivial news about Palins family and obstruction of justice,……..

Todd Palin held in contempt of Alaska state Senate
Mike Sheehan
Published: Friday February 6, 2009

The husband of 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin has been found guilty of contempt by the Alaskan Senate.

Last summer, Todd Palin and others had refused to comply with subpoenas issued by Alaska lawmakers seeking testimony in the "Troopergate" investigation launched in July, triggered by the allegedly forced resignation of a state official.

The official, Walt Monegan, had been reluctant to fire an Alaska state trooper who was Gov. Palin's brother-in-law, embroiled in a bitter custody battle with Palin's sister.

According to the Anchorage Daily News issue of 8 October 2008, Todd Palin "talked with over a dozen state officials, many of them repeatedly, in his crusade to get a state trooper fired whom he considered to be a bad cop, a dishonest person and a threat to the Palin family," per a sworn statement given to a legislative investigator.

At the time the investigation began, Gov. Palin "welcomed the chance to clear the air and had directed her staff to cooperate with the investigations," writes blogger Shannyn Moore. But "everything chnaged" when just weeks later, GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain chose Palin as his running mate.

Despite Todd Palin's later refusal to comply with the subpoena, he was not subject to contempt charges until the full Alaska Senate reconvened in January 2009--weeks after Election Day.

This morning, the Alaska Senate resolution holding Palin et al. in contempt passed 16 to 1, per Moore's blog. The resolution "did not address the actions of [Palin appointee] Attorney General Talis Colberg," instead calling for "no penalties to the [seven] witnesses because they were being guided by the Attorney General" and did cooperate with lead "Troopergate" investigator Stephen Branchflower after Colberg's challenge to the subpoenas was thrown out of court.

With the election over and losing candidate Palin largely out of the spotlight she dominated during the runup to November, the attention to "Troopergate" has similarly dissipated, as evidenced by today's proceedings in the Alaska Senate. "There was very little discussion on the floor," Moore writes.

Gov. Palin probably prefers it that way, as she is often mentioned as a leading candidate for the GOP nomination in 2012.

More trailer-trash news,…………….

Continuing with her stalker-like obsession with the Palin family, Greta Van Susteren wings her way to Alaska to interview high school dropout & teenaged babymama Bristol Palin But Not Johnston:


Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, told Fox News in her first interview since giving birth that she would like to be an advocate against teen pregnancy.


"Everyone should wait 10 years," Palin said. "I hope people learn from my story."


"It's so much easier if you're married, have a house and career. It's not a situation you want to strive for."
[...]


Bristol Palin described to Fox's Greta Van Susteren the moment when she, her boyfriend, Levi Johnston, and another friend told her parents that she was pregnant. She described that moment as "harder than labor."


But this was not the only surprise Bristol Palin said she had for her mother, Alaska's youngest governor. She told Van Susteren she had only told her mother she was doing this national television interview - in which Van Susteren and crew flew to Alaska - one day prior to the taping.


Wait! A camera crew? Guess what happens? Go on, guess.


Nevertheless, Governor Palin appeared at the interview, with baby Tripp in tow.


Sarah Palin jumping in front of cameras while hauling a baby around like a prop? Nobody could have seen that coming...


As for that "Bristol and Levi were already planning to get married" Republican convention storyline? Eh. Maybe later:


Bristol Palin said she is getting help from many members of her family with raising the infant while continuing her studies. She told Van Susteren she has no immediate plans to marry Levi Johnson, who she described as a 'hands on Dad."


Last year, there were reports that the couple would marry in the coming year.


"Eventually we'd like to get married," the young mother said. "We're focusing on getting through school though, getting a career going."


If I had to bet on what will happen first: the Palin/Johnston wedding or President Sarah Palin, I would put my money on something with slightly better odds. Maybe Jonah Goldberg's Olympic gold medal in pole vaulting.


Totally gonna happen...

I am no fan of hers, but I dont think her daughters pregnancy should have been any kind of an issue.

Nor her physical attractiveness. Geez, if attractiveness, were a requirement for political office, most of the males in politics wouldn't get a look in.

S Landreth

^I did not want to bring any of Palins children into any type of discussion. Her children are not running for office,.it is their mother. However since the Republicans thrust Palin and her family upon us as some outstanding family to be admired (Christians doing the right thing) with their family values/beliefs, I find it a bit disturbing that Palins family does the things they do.
The story it’s so much about Palins child as it is about how the Republicans/Palin said that Bristol was going to marry the father of their baby. It was all show,.to try to get elected into office. Lies!

It is a bit hypocritical of the Republicans and some of their followers to hold this woman up as their future (the party of family values?).

I will continue to post these news snippets of Palin and her family in hopes that it might reach ONE person who is on an edge about voting for Palin ever again, for any public office she tries to take (as Governor of Alaska again in two years or to run for a senate seat in two years).
