The White House Department of Law and Other Palinisms
I wasn’t going to write about Sarah Palin again today. Really, I wasn’t. I was all set to slog into something informative and useful about health care.
Well, maybe later. This is too juicy. ABC News has an absolutely hysterical interview with Palin the Petulant. For example,
Palin conceded many people are still confused about why she made the decision to leave office.
“You know why they’re confused? I guess they cannot take something nowadays at face value,” Palin said.
Let us pause and reflect on this, as soon as we all stop wheezing.
Of course, if we take her at face value, she’s a quitter and a ditz. As I’ve said elsewhere, the speculations on the reasons she left office assume she has a reason, which gives her some credit. But, hey, if that's what she wants ...
Or maybe the reason is this:
But she said a major factor in the decision was the mounting legal bills she and the state have had to incur to fight ethics charges from her political adversaries. None of the accusations has been proven but, she said, the costs of fighting them have been enormous.
I’m sure Bill Clinton commiserates. But this is the best part:
But as for whether another pursuit of national office, as she did less than a year ago when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the “department of law” would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.
“I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” she said.
There is no “Department of Law” at the White House.
Priceless. Of course, the only reason we don’t recognize Gov. Palin’s sparkling intellect and critical thinking skills is that we’re against feminism.

They elected G.W. to the oval office not once but twice... all we can hope is that "they" are smarter if Ms. Palin gives the White House another run. Honestly, some of her remarks are no less witless than G.W.'s astoundingly stupid ones.
- rated and please keep the Palin post coming
Let's take, for example, why she said she quit.
"we know we can effect positive change outside government at this moment in time, on another scale, and actually make a difference for our priorities."
What the bleep kind of sentence is that? If I wrote something like that in high school, the teacher would have bled so much red ink on that one it'd look like the federal deficit.
It starts out okay. "We know we can effect positive change." Good. Now how about just leaving it alone?
Nah, the bimbette has to spoil a perfectly good sentence by adding prepositional phrases that she thinks makes her sound smart but just makes her sound stupid. It's like the jokers who use "literally" when they mean figuratively.
"at this moment in time, on another scale." Hey, you stupid bimbette, just throwing words together doesn't make for good writing. "At this moment in time?" What a meaningless phrase. How about cutting it? And the "on another scale?" What does that mean? How is that relevant?
"And make a difference for our priorities?" Uh, what?
At one point, Palin wanted to be an anchor for ESPN.
They write their own stuff.
I can just see her writing the script for a home run that's given up to win a game. It'd take longer than the player's trot around the bases.
Kenny Mayne use to have a funny home run call. "I am the king of all the land as far as this ball shall travel. Bring me the finest meats and cheeses for my teammates."
Can you imagine Palin trying to describe a home run?
"And he steps up to the plate, and at this point in time, takes the pitch and hits the ball. The ball travels out of the park and helps his team win."
Matter of fact, maybe given Palin's incredibly inane comments, we should have a contest.
Assume that Sarah Palin did make it as an ESPN anchor. What would her catchphrase be?
"I think Iraq is much better off than it was before we went in in '03 and got rid of Saddam Hussein," he said. "I think we are close to achieving most of our objectives."
And now the hypothetical reporter: Mr. Cheney has made similar claims about being "close" going back to 2004. Or whatever. But that's what we need.
If Sarah Palin was president now, would this mean that we'd be looking for Joe the Plumber as our commander in chief next month?
If you want another rambling, incoherent speech, go here and watch Anderson Cooper talk to her spokesperson. She's as absurd as Palin. In the meantime, I'm going out to yell at the kids for sliding down the giant sides of our oyster shelly backyard.
Doesn't it strike you too that nearly everyone has taken to using the word literally when they mean figuratively or metaphorically? It is literally beginjning to bug me.
just wow.

All the hate for Palin steams from her views against abortion period. If she was for choice and was a decorate, she'd be there next nominee.
1. Female business owner
2. Self made
3. climbed the political ladder
4. Her husband plays mom
Sounds like what women's lib used to champion. Now it's all a front for abortion rights groups. All her accomplishments thrown out because she doesn't believe in abortion. OH and wait, she believes in God. No good for her, but Obama or any other lib running for office loves any photo op they can get in a church ...

Oh, and, BTW, did'ja know that Nixon wanted my daughter aborted? See my OS blog post on it.
.
Actually Sarah Palin is pro choice. She said that when she found out that her unborn child had Downs Syndrome, she briefly considered abortion, then DECIDED to have the baby. That's what pro-choice is, isn't it?

Hermano: Lovely that you choose to debut your knowledge of Spanish currency here, ConservativeCrusader.
BTW, I clicked on your name link. Nothing there, no posts. Meaning, you are simply a TROLL.

Does anyone else remember thinking GWB would lose in 2000 because of his incredibly idiotic debating? In particular, his statement that Democrats "want to treat Social Security like some kind of federal program..."
thats the sound of her 15 minutes expiring.
palin [maybe] learns.. karma is a b*tch.
her style, now well documented, is to burn bridges and take no prisoners over generally trivial stuff. fire the librarian?? c'mon. ridiculous. she had a [LONG] enemy list, and in so doing, paradoxically, created many enemies.
not coincidentally, the same strategy used by bush/cheney during iraq invasion. the plame affair [soon to be a major motion picture movie] is the same thing done by cheney.
i am so embarrassed to live in a country of people who can read those sentences and NOT realize that she speaks fluent gibberish.
