Sarah "Fredo" Palin: "I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart!"

Does anyone else have the feeling that prior to Election Day, John McCain might have Sarah Palin taken out on a rowboat for a (very short) "fishing trip"?
http://www.maddogmedia.com/Fredo-2.jpg
Don't go out on that boat, Sarah! Despite what the McCains might tell you, there's no Alaska salmon in Canyon Lake!!!


But anyway, the hits just keep on coming... now the blame game begins (ahead of schedule):

Needs more Chuck Norris...

the south shall rise again

say "YEA" to him !!!! :p

If the old CART series was still around, I'm sure they'd hire John McCain and Sarah Palin as CEO and President to run the series (into the ground). I can't recall seeing this level of foot shooting since Jargon Joe Heitzler was killing CART with his incompetence. But I now believe that McCain and Palin could outdo him.

Over the past few days, McCain advisors began referring to Palin as "going rogue", a "diva" and (my personal favorite)... a "whack job". This campaign doesn't need the Democrats... hell, they're out to destroy themselves.

I hope Caribou Barbie Palin enjoys this 15 minutes of fame. Come November 5, I'd say (I hope) you can stick a fork in her narrow butt... cause she'll be done. :s mokin:

In all the jokes I've made about Sarah Palin, I never really thought that she was (or could be) nearly as dumb as I made her out to be. I was wrong. Turns out, she may be a LOT dumber than even I imagined.

Top McCain advisors have let go with a barrage on Sarah Palin today. She and her family are being described as "looting Wasilla Hillbillies" for patronizing expensive New York shops, buying not $150,000, but closer to $200,000 worth of clothes and trinkets for herself and her family... and lying about giving it to charity. It's being reported that Republican National Committee lawyers are now on their way "North To Alaska" (cool song from the '60's, by the way) to track down Palin and get some of the missing items back. Sarah is said to have used none of her own money, but wasn't above using the credit cards of staffers. And what about the poor Republican donor who offered to clothe Palin, figuring it might take 20 grand and then gets this bill for almost $200K? To save himself from shame, he should tell his wife and friends that he blew his money on hookers and booze.

But here's the good part. According to McCain's advisors, Palin didn't knwow the three countries which had signed onto the NAFTA treaty. Hey Sarah, hint, hint: it's the North American Free Trade Agreement. Sarah, can ya maybe name some countries in North America??? Apparently not. Oh, man... maybe ya can get back to me, eh? She also thought that Africa was a country... didn't know that it was a continent. And on election night, she reportedly approached McCain, requesting that he allow her to make her won concession speech. Vice Presidential candidates are seen and not heard on election night.

Not that it needed to be, but my faith in God is further confirmed. That He would not put us in the position that this complete and utter MORON might have lucked into the Oval Office if McCain had croaked, is truly a blessing. Shame on you, John McCain, for even making that a possibility!

And lastly, some of this stuff about Palin may just be angry, sour grapes McCain advisors unleashing on Palin. But considering how willing Palin was to use rumor and innuendo during her Uncle Jed rallies...

Karma, Sarah. Karma! :D

Jag,

I respect your posts, but IMO you should view these anonymous reports with the same skepticism you have for Sarah Palin and her abilities. It just sounds too much like sour grapes and someone with an axe to grind.

Oh, I love Sarah Palin like a fat kid loves cake.

All in fun. Lookie what I found.

http://www.palinaspresident.us/never/index.html

:D

Many said that in open debate against Biden she wasn't too bad, exceeded public expectation.

McCain decision to go in hand with Sarah for the election perhaps his best choice than the rest options available.

She has contributed to lift up more voter went for McCain-Palin pair, logically from those Democrat partisan previously rely their voice on Hillary. Despite in fact she was more to attract sympathy from adult men voters, perhaps like us. :D

She didn't know Africa is a continent! Mind you, I'm amazed she'd even heard of Africa, frankly :D

She refused any prepping before her interview with Katie Couric, believing she could handle it. Afterwards, she was 'annoyed' :D

The reason all this is coming out now, is that reporters had full access provided anything they saw was kept out of the media until after the election.

I suspect it's the tip of the iceberg :G

The debates seemed more like rehearsed speeches rather than actual debates.


I am very glad she is nowhere near the White House.

This woman should have been weeded out a long time ago as being unfit for public service. ok, she's probably perfect to be Governor of Alaska and thought that she needed no on the job training because she actually ran a small outpost.

bad move by McTurbo for picking her, it showed that they didnt vet this person properly. Should have pciked Lieberman as his running mate.

If the G.O.P. Ticket had been reversed with palin and the presidential Cannidate and McCain for VP we would be Calling Governor Palin the President Elect.

what's new in Cubo?

http://www.threadbombing.com/data/me..._Priceless.jpg

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...section=justin


"She said she remembered having conversations during debate preparation about Africa and the North American Free Trade Agreement.
A Fox News report cited unidentified campaign sources who said Ms Palin did not know Africa was a continent and could not name the three countries in NAFTA - the United States, Canada and Mexico.
"I think if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA or about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional and those guys are jerks," Ms Palin said.
"It's not fair and it's not right."
She also described accusations that she spent exorbitant amounts of money on clothes for the campaign as "sexist."

Had she been at the top of the ticket, I think her incompetence and lack of knowledge on the broad range of economic and political issues would have been made more apparent to the American public. Or at the every least, her incredible ignorance would have been much harder to hide. During the debates, very little focus was placed on her. The Dems actually had Biden play nice so he wouldn't appear to be "beating up" on a woman. But at the top of the ticket, she would have gotten the same treatement that Hillary got. As much as I didn't agree with much of anything about Clinton, I wouldn't question her intelligence or range of knowledge on many issues. Even though many neocons and Evangelical types seem to love Palin, I'd say independents and progressive fiscal conservatives would have beaten a path away from her as the GOP's nominee.

I just don't think the gain from the neocons and Evangelicals that stayed home on Tuesday would have made up for the independents and fiscal conservatives who would have abandoned the party, just as Chris Buckley and so many others did when she was nominated as the VP. In a time of deep economic crisis, what fiscal policy ideas would Sarah Palin have presented that would have won over Ohio, Michigan or Pennsylvania? I'm not convinced that she even knows the difference between fiscal policy and monetary policy. If she didn't know the countries included in NAFTA, I think it's safe to say that the average Econ 101 student could take all of her clothes in a quick game of Strip Economic Trivia.

And let's face it, Sarah got a pass on many things just because she was the #2. As the #1, I don't think all the memorized talking points and teleprompters in the world could have bailed her out. Or as one might say, there's not enough lipstick in the world to pretty up that pig.

Until I watched the debate two more times, I thought she did very well. And she did exceed expectations. Expectations were VERY low. She didn't freeze up. She didn't go into a trance and stare at the camera like a deer caught in headlights, with drool running down her chin. She didn't vomit on herself. She successfully memorized and repeated the talking points given to her by the McCain advisors. But neither she nor Biden performed anywhere near what one would expect in a proper debate.

True. I understand that McCain wanted Joe Lieberman. Can you imagine McCain taking a Democrat Jew into some of those Southern redneck rallies, and convincing those people that a vote for McCain and a Jew would be better than a vote for a Black guy and a White liberal? Talk about a soul searching moment in Redneck Land!

Yes, I think there are more than a few men who have MILF fantasies about Palin. Then there are guys like me who don't care for stupid women. Once you get to a certain age, a woman with brains (and moderate looks) means more than one who just has a nice face or figure... but is dumber than a bag of hammers. But the angry Hillary supporters pretty much rejected Palin as a cheap gender card play by McCain and the GOP: they supported Obama at 82%. White females supported Obama in greater numbers than they did Kerry or Gore in the last two elections. Women made up 53% of the vote this year, and women went for Obama/Biden 55% to 43% for McCain/Palin.

I just wish that Obama's background and speeches had been investigated as much as Palin's...or at least Joe the Plumber's


BTW for that fool who posted the stupid photo about Palin's wardrobe and it's cost....How come nobody seemed to care about Obama's $1500 suits or Michelle's Designer Dresses which were paid by the campaign.?

Lieberman was never considered.
Aside from the War on Terrorism and Israel, Liberman is as Liberal as they come. This would have alienated what little of the conservative base that was hanging around.

Those in the McCain camp claim that Lieberman was considered by McCain, and his top advisors (Schmidt in particular) wanted Palin. McCain himself didn't know Sarah Palin from Daffy Duck. But I agree: the social conservatives, neocons and Evangelicals would have slit their wrists in warm baths before supporting a pro-choice Jew from the Northeast.

If there was a stoned left unturned on Obama's background, I'd be amazed. I mean, they pretty much went back to when he was 8 years old. If Karl Rove's Gestapo troops could have found a credible person who would have testified that they saw Obama poop his pants when he was 2, I'm sure Fox News would have reported it.

That's what was so amusing about Sarah. Just when that silly controversy had died down, she and her twit friend, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, brought it up again. The Dems didn't light the fire that got this shopping spree story going. Someone within the McCain campaign leaked some info after Sarah and the Wasilla gang burned the RNC donor who said he would pick up the tab to keep her from looking like she just rolled out of trailer park. But instead of a $20-$25K bill, he apparently got a tab for closer to $150K... plus what she allegedly spent using staffers' credit cards (said to be another $40K or so). That got tongues wagging. And she didn't have enough sense just to let it die. The Dems just said they bought their own clothes and let it go at that. It would have never become a big deal if the RNC and Sarah hadn't allowed it to become a big deal.

If she had kept her spending in check, this would have never become a story. If she had allowed the McCain people to tutor her on basic things, that she should have known anyway: geography, basic economics, geopolitics, etc., she wouldn't have come off as such an incredible dullard. That's how she got burned by the pranksters. If she hadn't been playing "Sarah Knows Best", they wouldn't have been able to get through to her and make an (even bigger) idiot out of her. Instead of trying to act like she had foreign policy experience because she could see Russia from her house, she should have just told Couric that she had experience in other areas, and foreign policy was an area that she was seeking to gain more knowledge in.

But in the end, McCain must shoulder the blame for whatever damage Palin did to his campaign. He could have picked Elizabeth Dole (maybe she wouldn't have gone negative and been gutted in a sad Senate campaign then). He could have picked Kay Bailey Hutchinson. He didn't have to pick that nitwit. He ran a bad campaign. And now the knives are coming out. The John McCain that gave that concession speech is the John McCain that I remember from the 90's. And I think that John McCain would have won this election... along with a truly qualified running mate. Instead of playing on people's fears and the lowest common denominators, he could have done a better job of connecting to a worried nation, using a hopeful message. But he didn't do that. John made a lot of bad choices and he paid the price.

You're calling me a fool and supporting Sarah Palin at the same time? Wow, talk about an oxymoron! The only thing this little slab of ass was worth to the McCain campaign was dead weight. She would be in better service with me underneath the sheets rather than having her reside anywhere near the Whitehouse.

Fousto, I ask this sincerely. What about Sarah Palin made her a breath of fresh air? I have heard this before and I've yet to hear any particulars. Seriously. Can you tell me something about her that makes her more than just a woman with (slightly) above average looks and below average intelligence?

Well, one could say the same of Afghanistan, probably more so. So, what meaningless, little cesspool of a country originated the attack that kicked the greatest super power on Earth squarely in the testicles? And guess what, the guy who planned the attack is still fat, free and happy! How could this be?

The idea that Africa is a disgusting place is probably due to the limited information that Westerners, specifically Americans, have of the continent. Depending on what happens with GM, I may go to South Africa next year and I'm looking forward to it. Where I'll be going, Port Elizabeth, is hardly disgusting. It's a huge varied continent, with good places and bad places. A night spent in Greenville, Mississippi, Torreon, Mexico or (from what I hear) Anchorage, Alaska (highest alcohol mortality rate in the U.S.) might convince some that North America is a cesspool. But we know that those sad places are not necessarily representative of the whole of our continent... course, we also know all of the countries that make up NAFTA too, right? ;) And that someone who is seeking the second (or first) highest political office in the land wouldn't know a country from a continent is truly amazing to me!!! Should she ever be in a position that she would have to deal with an international terrorist crisis originating in Africa, it might be nice if she knew that she'd need to find the actual country within Africa, and not send the 101st Airborne to the wrong location. Does she know anything about South Africa's nuclear capabilities? Probably not, since she can't even pronounce nuclear (the next person who says nukyuler should be prohibited from holding public office in the U.S.), and doesn't know where South Africa is or what it is. And how could she not know the countries in NAFTA???!!! :eek: Can't she see North America from her house, like she can Russia?

But now that I think about it, this could work out really well for me. I'm an NRA Life Member. I might meet up with Sarah and First Dude at some NRA function one of these days prior to 2012. I had more executive experience by age 30 than Sarah does now. So while I let First Dude shoot one of my AK's and play with my Weatherby, I might dazzle ol' Sarah with some basic economic terms and the fact that I was schooled in supply side theory in getting my degree. I could make sure she doesn't use the word "physical" when she writes about fiscal policy. See, I could be a huge asset to her, if not the country. I figure her head is so empty of basic knowledge, give me about 15 minutes and I could be on the short list to be Secretary of the Treasury or maybe even Fed Chairman. And the sad part, I'm probably more qualified to occupy either of those positions than Sarah is to be President (or Vice President) of the United States. The worst thing I might do is move the Fed offices to Road America and have the Treasury fund a grand prix there. I'd probably also pull some strings to have Tony George sent to Gitmo for some waterboarding fun & games. Where is Tony George? Don't ask, don't tell, baby. Don't ask, don't tell... :devil:

So I guess I've changed my mind.
Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!

A vote for her might mean a job (and a damn nice gubment pension) for moi in 2012! :s mokin:

Just as the dislike many clearly have for the ignorant, bellicose, saccharine, vain Palin ought to be insurmountable.

There was no 'breath of fresh air' about her. Having a VP candidate saying that they are a 'hockey mom' can hardly be classed as that. Nor can making a virtue out of having a lack of knowledge of foreign affairs. The fact she had to be so closely briefed should have disqualified her immediately and should continue so to do. So, what exactly does she offer that is so daringly new and exciting? Nothing that I can see.

And as for the favourable comment made elsewhere about Berlusconi — well, that poster clearly has absolutely no idea about European politics and really ought to go and find out about it before making such ignorant statements.

It is alarming that while the rest of the world looked on in absolute disbelief and amazement that Palin was even chosen to be running mate in the first place, some Americans actually think she would make a good President.

Even without the stupidity side there is plenty of controversy attached to her, such as that $200 million worth of funding for 'The Bridge To Nowhere' which was never returned even though the idea was dropped.

Then there's the abuse of power by seeking to have her ex brother in law fired - She was only 'cleared' in the final days before the election, a coincidence too great for many to swallow.

Ola Muchachito mio!

Yes it is a good morning, but it would be better if the gang of criminals still in Washington and their henchmen and stooges were facing serious charges and potential jail time pour encouagé les autres .

Refreshing to see that, as usual in America, when there is a serious crisis, millions and millions of people did the right thing and rejected the Party of Extremism, and rejected the policies of fear.
Winston Churchill said on the day America finally entered WWII, in response to another Minister saying "Thank God, America is in; they can always be relied upon to do the right thing" to which Churchill mutter (be clear enough to be recorded by 2 different people) "After they have tried everything else."

We tried letting an idiot-savant puppet be a figurehead while Corporate hacks ran the entire country and as we saw the Financial sector straight into the ground, their greed and stupidity being limitless the whole world now can see, and we and unfortunately you will doubtless suffer---and the Extremists here and on their radio and TV outlets will start by 4th week in January screaming at the new Administration for "doing nothing", but everybody is wise to their game, so let's hope they don't get away with shifting the blame and continuing their continual lying.

The destruction caused by the Republican's pandering to religious whack-jobs and their borrow and spend policies drove 42,000,000 more people to register to vote compared to the last debacle in 2004 to a total of 185,000,000.
123,000,000 people voted, this alone is reason to be more optimistic.

The Right-wing nut cases will continue to repeat that Obama has done nothing, ignoring years of work as a community organiser, [b]teaching Contitutional Law at University, and working as a Illinois state senator, but like all along its just empty rage and frustration.

Let's all cross our fingers, hold your thumbs, do a dominus rex a few times and hope that since he knows his majority wasn't a massive landslide-----unlike the fool W who called a 1.4% margin a "Mandate"---a spirit of cooperation will develop, the Republicans will repudiate the religious maniacs, and we can finally being to move into the new Century.

Seems it was, exit polling clearly points to the choice of Palin as a deal breaker for many people.
It showed extremely risky behaviour on McCains part to pander for a few votes risking yet another certifiable incompetent sitting as President should he kick off anytime soon (as his Grandfather did at 70, and his father died at 71--noting he's 72)

She and her family are being described as "looting Wasilla Hillbillies" for patronizing expensive New York shops, buying not $150,000, but closer to $200,000 worth of clothes and trinkets for herself and her family... and lying about giving it to charity. It's being reported that Republican National Committee lawyers are now on their way "North To Alaska" (cool song from the '60's, by the way) to track down Palin and get some of the missing items back. Sarah is said to have used none of her own money, but wasn't above using the credit cards of staffers. And what about the poor Republican donor who offered to clothe Palin, figuring it might take 20 grand and then gets this bill for almost $200K? To save himself from shame, he should tell his wife and friends that he blew his money on hookers and booze.

But here's the good part. According to McCain's advisors, Palin didn't knwow the three countries which had signed onto the NAFTA treaty. Hey Sarah, hint, hint: it's the North American Free Trade Agreement. Sarah, can ya maybe name some countries in North America??? Apparently not. Oh, man... maybe ya can get back to me, eh? She also thought that Africa was a country... didn't know that it was a continent. And on election night, she reportedly approached McCain, requesting that he allow her to make her won concession speech. Vice Presidential candidates are seen and not heard on election night.

Not that it needed to be, but my faith in God is further confirmed. That He would not put us in the position that this complete and utter MORON might have lucked into the Oval Office if McCain had croaked, is truly a blessing. Shame on you, John McCain, for even making that a possibility!

And lastly, some of this stuff about Palin may just be angry, sour grapes McCain advisors unleashing on Palin. But considering how willing Palin was to use rumor and innuendo during her Uncle Jed rallies...

Karma, Sarah. Karma! :D

Now that "Africa", et al have been shown to be a hoax, who's the moron?

With all the stories from un-named sources about Sarah Palin being proven to be Hoax or lies I wonder what other stories they are going to make up.

It is fairly obvious that the person is in a narrow closeted fantasy world regarding US domestic politics as well.

Whaddya expect?

McCain was not going to win regardless of who was the running mate. Sarah will do great. Actually McCain has launched her. She will become a Senator and then we will really have a good look at her. Now its is time to get on with the business of the US.

Even if they were hoax, they didn't get as many people killed as the hoax by Bush et al about Saddam harboring al-Qaeda and having weapons of mass destruction.
