You know SDW thinks she's hot.

Well she get's me all hot and bothered like a bad flu!

When I see her my body has tingles all up and down like a spinal cord injury!

And then of course when she opens her mouth I swoon like I'm having an aneurysm!

Let's hope she quietly retires back to Alaska. Without all the hoopla generated by this campaign I think that might happen.

I don't think they want her there after all this.
I think her best bet would be Mongolia.

Difficult as it is for me to understand, she has a big "fan club" which will keep her in business until the next time she can slime her way to another political appointment.

My international friends here in Japan are stunned by the popularity of Palin, and worried. They all said that their image of the US is a mixed bag right now: lower than of Bush (which was the lowest ever) regarding McCain and more than him, Palin and even more so her fan club, yet higher because a relatively mature, intelligent and consistent man like Obama can rise up, despite being black, a point they were always worried about. Though they don't all agree with him on all points, they see hope that at least a large portion of the country is not in favor of embracing stupidity.

A Canadian comedy duo called The Masked Avengers from CKOI 96.9 FM in Montreal, Quebec pranked Sarah Palin, convincing her (and her team) they were receiving a call from French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Quote:
In the interview, which lasts about six minutes, Palin and the pranksters discuss politics, pundits, and the dangers of hunting with current vice-president Dick Cheney.

The "interview".

I feel bad for her. It is like teasing someone who is slow and not very smart; it is no more fun once you realize that the person you are teasing is actually of low intelligence.

Maybe this person shouldn't be running for Vice President, then?

Actually, what's really sad is that they didn't know she was, in fact, pulling a prank on them! You see, just as they were attempting to fool her into believing that they were Sarkosy, SHE WAS FOOLING THEM INTO BELIEVING THAT SHE BELIEVED THAT THEY WERE FOOLING HER INTO BELIEVING THAT SHE BELIEVED THAT SHE BELIEVED THAT THEY WERE FOOLING HER INTO BELIEVING THAT SHE BELIEVED SHE BELIEVED THAT THEY HAD IN FACT FOOLED HER INTO BELIEVING THAT SHE BELIEVED THAT SHE BELIEVED THAT THEY HAD FOOLED HER!

So, you see, it was Palin who actually pulled the prank!

They are so good at this. Letting Obama win while pretending to be horrified so that'll we'll suspect they're actually relieved while actually being horrified that we're relived that they don't know that we're on to them because we aren't, in fact.....

And that's the obvious part.

The only reason she got in there is because McSame didn't have any other rabbits to pull out of his hat. She was picked because she was a women only. To get Hillary votes. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that other women were secretly approached and said " No! " because of that fact. Strong women I know would want to be picked on their ability not their gender.

Unfortunately they didn't bank on her lack of experience ( ).

But that's ok because it helped them lose.

Easy. Wedge, wedge, wedge, wedge, wedge.

Please tell me. What does Palin have besides pushing wedge issues to the ultra social conservatives? Her "maverickness" was all a big lie. the only thing left is God, guns and abortion. Take those away and she's just a dumb brunette with very little experience and absolutely no knowledge of national and international issues. Seriously.

You know, sometimes I think you are just here to generate ad revenue...

Sarah Palin is a grifter who has used her fake charm and good looks to get where she is. And McCain and his camp got taken for it.

Quite brilliant actually. Pulled one of the biggest confidence tricks in election history.

She gets more applause at McCain/Palin events now than McCain.

McCain had plenty of great, experienced and more qualified people to take the VP position, but he had a mid-life hard-on for Palin.

Some cable news guy opined that she did "pretty well, considering" and that her only lapse was failing to notice that the guy with the ridiculous Pepé le Pew "French accent" probably wasn't a head of state. Actually, he blamed her staff for not realizing that. I guess the person who is in line to be President of the United States can't be expected to have any more than a cartoon notion of the what people in other countries are like.

That's the most retarded assessment I've seen since she was picked.

Ok, this is a bit closer to the mark.

Palin was obviously picked to counter the fact that McCain didn't energize the base and you can't win an election if even your base isn't excited about the ticket. Similarly, Biden was picked to counter Obama's glaring deficiencies in world affairs. This is what VP selections are all about.

So yes, Tonton, she was picked to appeal to social conservatives (not sure where the 'ultra' line is.) Her 'maverickness' comes from the undisputable fact that she took on corrupt elements in her own party and battled corruption in Alaska. That's not a lie (though, as is typical in elections, it's been overplayed.)

Your last line isn't worth commenting on since it's overtly sexist and an absolute lie.

Hell, maybe it's Obama.

Listen Frank I've talked to women out there who are insulted by her.

I'm not surprised at your level of nonunderstanding of the situation ( notice I didn't say " retarded " ).

My account is exactly what happened.

Instead of " Energizing " she sapped their power supply.

Palin's approval ratings continue to drop.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...elping-mccain/

Now 57% of Americans do not think she has the personal qualities of what it takes to be president. So, after they lose tomorrow, her career is finished. Thankfully, because she would have worked hard to lower the country as far as possible.

It's not enough for her to lose. She has to have her career ended. Some might call that the politics of personal destruction. Good thing Obama had the media to do his dirty work for him. So much for change though.

The Evil Media has noticed that Palin still hasn't released any kind of medical records...

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...dical-records/

Some of the comments below the article are interesting; just shows how the rumor mill can get moving.

I believe, however, that the country deserves to know whether she is in good health or not. Any employee going for an interview must produce a health check; she is applying to us, so she better cough it up, quick. She seems to expect people to take her word for everything; her actions have proved over the past weeks that that is not a good idea.

Funny how the liberal media never really got around to caring about Palin's medical records.

It's never happened before, that a candidate for national office just flatly refused to release medical records. Of course, we've never had a national candidate so thinly vetted or so lightly interviewed, so I guess the special Palin rules are in effect.

There's actually a pretty long list of one-would-have-thought-interesting items about Palin that never really got raised, by Obama or the press.

But for the dead-enders this will always have been about how Palin got "smeared" by the MSM. Because the narrative of being ill used is so central to the dead-enders that no amount of reality can shake it.

Maybe she had an abortion when she was 20?! This is reminiscent of Obama refusing to release his birth certificate! Is she didn't have an abortion when she was 20, why won't she just rerelease her medical records and put these concerns to rest?
