President Palin’s First Ten Days in Office

Rate: 62 Flag

Day One: Chief Justice Roberts administers the oath of office. President Palin repeats the words “So help me God,” fifty-five times and won’t let go of the Bible. The benediction lasts six hours.

 

In her inaugural speech, she proclaims that, "Democratic countries of the world must stand together to defeat Communism and win the Cold War."

 

Tweet: Prety sur Justc. Rbts. commando undr robe @ inaug. Ooooh. 

 

  

Day Two: President Palin orders the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to remove Ulysses S. Grant’s face from the fifty dollar bill and replace it with the image of Ronald Reagan because Grant “has a foreign-sounding first name and who was he anyway?” She considers changing the $10 bill and the $100 bill, but Vice-President Michele Bachmann advises her to refrain because Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton were “two of our greatest presidents.”

 

Tweet: Said "gee Todd'" today & scret srvice thot I said "jihad." Oops!

 

 

Day Three: Palin orders her new Secretary of God to place a thirty foot statue of Jesus holding a shotgun on the front lawn of the White House. Work begins on construction of a shooting range in the Rose Garden, and the West Wing is eliminated, because it’s on the left side of the building. 

 

Tweet: Y is Kim Jong ill? Flu? Anybdy no?

  

Day Four: President Palin appoints ex-Gov. Scott Walker as Secretary of Labor, Bernie Madoff as Secretary of the Treasury (following an executive pardon), and Christine O’Donnell as Secretary of State (which will now be known as Secretary of Geography.)

  

O’Donnell’s first official task is to buy a globe so she can figure out “where countries are.” Palin helps her with this project, but is unable to find the United States on a map of the United States.

 

Tweet: Whts in blck briefcas? Mayb give 2 Todd for his b-day.

 

Day Five: Palin is informed by her National Security advisor – Joe the Plumber -- that there are more than three cabinet departments. Palin decides to eliminate the Department of Education, the Energy Department and the EPA. She merges the Nuclear Regulatory Agency and the National Rifle Association because "they have the same initials so we'll save on stationary."

 

Palin's choice for Secretary of the Interior is a woman named Betty who “really knows a lotta stuff about drapes and can decorate a room to make it look homey.” Betty's first assignment is to redesign the Oval Office into a replica of a cozy ski lodge. She replaces George Washington's portrait with a moosehead, because "if you ask me, the guy looks depressed."

 

Tweet: Ywn. Nuthn 2 do here. Gotta fnd a cuntry to invde. Hw bout New Jrsy? 

 

  

Day Six: Palin decides to leave the rest of her cabinet appointments to her husband Todd because she’s too busy trying to locate the fifth commandment in the Constitution. Todd begrudgingly takes time off from shooting random animals with an Uzi and merges the remaining cabinet departments into one cabinet department called The Department of Everything Else.

  

Secretary of State O’Donnell cancels a trip to Germany because she misplaces her broom and refuses to use a mop. “That’s okay,” she tells the press. “I don’t really like to travel anyway and Asia is so far away.”

 

Tweet: J. Mcain wnts job in cbnet. Yeh rite! Duchbg.

  

Day Seven: Palin meets with the Prime Minister of India and, in his honor, wears a Cherokee headdress and tries to engage him in a conversation about Geronimo.

 

  

Later that day, Palin invites the President of Antarctica to lunch, but no one replies. Outraged, Palin breaks off diplomatic relations with Antarctica and instructs the Secretary of Writing Coherent English to “send the president of Antarctica a nasty letter.”

 

Tweet: Cant wait 4 halween. wil make cbnt wear cstumes. LOL

  

Day Eight: After a lunch of moose liver pate and reindeer a l'orange, Palin signs two bills, passed by Congress. One of them mandates the placement of a nuclear power plant on Mt. St. Helens; the other orders that chicken a la king be taken off the Congressional Dining Room menu because, as Eric Cantor puts it, “we live in a democracy, plus it'll reduce the deficit.”

  

In the evening, President Palin listens to an audio version of a report by her newly appointed “Secret Commission on Stuff a President Should Know,” and is surprised to learn that there are three branches of government. "What the heck does POTUS mean?" she asks the head of the commission. "Is it Latin for marijuana or something?"

 

Tweet: Crisis smwhre. Borng day. Zzzz.

  

Day Nine: Palin meets with pro-life activists and tells them that, in her opinion, life begins in the scrotum (except for Obama whose life began in Kenya) and that vasectomologies should be a federal crime.

 

At 11:00 o'clock, Palin fires the Joint Chiefs of Staff because, as press secretary Glenn Beck tells the press, she “doesn’t want any pot-smoking Indians in the White House, you betcha.”

 

Later that day, she cancels a press conference because, as Beck tells reporters, “she’s having a bad hair day,” plus “they ask a lot of questions and, golly gee, I can’t fit all those answers on my hands.”

 

Tweet: Joe has plumbrs crck. Idea 4 perfum. Eau de Joe. LOL

 

  

Day Ten: Palin resigns as President because, as she declares, “it takes up too much time, it’s not as much fun as I thought it would be, the rooms smell musty and it doesn’t pay as well as reality shows.” Vice-President Bachmann is sworn in, and tells the country to join her in a prayer asking that God grant Palin the trophy on “Dancing with the Stars.”

Palin spends the next three years writing her Presidential memoirs.      

Tweet: Only 1 regrt. Wish Id sent Tna Fey to Gitmo.

The woman is a marvel. Her choice of Bachmann for VP was right-on.They are really on the same wave length. Great Post as usual~
Damned fine satire, John. I'd like to see this go viral. Just wait until I get my passport renewed. R
Holy Crap: This was brilliant. It had better make cover.
rated with hugs
And on the 12th day a flotilla of 100,000 boats left Key West heading for Cuba. Cuba Libre! This is proof positive that the best humor always has more than smidgen of truth in it.
Excellent, funny, thorough, and ultimately scary.
Day One: I jump off the tallest building.

Hey, at least she didn't get us into a squirmish.

Hilarious!
That's it. I'm going to start cleaning out the family bunker this week, restock the MREs, and fill the water tanks. I'm a'skeerd.
Side-splitting laughter over here. Brilliant, Blu!!!!

Lezlie
This is brilliant blazing hot dead on target good. I'm considering a conversion to faith. I'm begging "God" your words are not prophetic. Damn, you're good John.
They all laughed at Seward.
I'm glad she will resign before any major "sqwurrmish" takes place!

Love it, John. Just don't know which more - the daily journals or the Tweets. Congratulations - you've captured it brilliantly!
♥R
The Palin National Anthem

O beautiful for Uzi guns
and Jesus in your heart,
for pregnant mothers everywhere
in every kitchen barefoot.
America! America!
Reagan shed His grace on you,
And crown your head with ten commandments
From sea to polluted sea!
She of the "squermish". r
Brilliant. Why oh why are we only allowed to rate something once? Favorite part, the briefcase Tweet.
What a good job you did on this!! Those Tweets were so authentic!
OMG! I can hear her voice saying all this, too, which is REALLY scary, but the laughter jostled it all out! Great Stuff!!
You are in rare form, sir.
Yer just kiddin. I can tell.
You betcha.
You really should volunteer your services to Leno or Letterman or SNL. Baby, you got it!!

" Vice-President Michele Bachmann advises her to refrain because Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton were “two of our greatest presidents."

"Palin meets with the Prime Minister of India and, in his honor, wears a Cherokee headdress and tries to engage him in a conversation about Geronimo. "

"mandates the placement of a nuclear power plant on Mt. St. Helens"

But -- I regret to say I must refudiate you a little bit -- not that I want to start a squirmish or anything. Funny as you are, you can't best either of these bimbos self-parody.
cof-e thru nose fny as sht
koo doze
I see you're practicing to be her speechwriter. Maybe you can get me in as a literacy tutor. Together we can save the world.
Oh boy, John. You really hit this one out of the park. Top-shelf satire.
R
Awesome! What a hoot. Thanks for posting.
-Erica
Michele Bachman also said Benjamin Franklin fired the shot heard round the world in Seacaucus, New Jersey.

r!
I'm sure she will have to have at least one "casting out of the demons" service in the White House. Never can be too sure about the prior occupants.
I regret that I have only one rating to give...
Hilarious, but in a frighteningly realistic way, I suspect these are pretty close to her real thoughts. Maybe this is just a mass nightmare and we're all going to wake up soon.
This would be laugh-til-you-pee funny if it weren't so close to true. (heehee, I did laugh til I had to run to the ladies room). Just hilarious!
But what do we do if this is more true than funny???
I loved the comment from Tina Fey on Letterman re: S.Palin: "Why is she still referred to as Governor Palin? I worked at dairy Queen for a summer, and nobody refers to me as "Dairy Queen Fey."
You are brilliant, and this satire is perfect. Sharing it on the Facebook so my friends can LOL.
what a fucken dumbass vision while there are three (3) hanoi janes in the fucken white house....advising prez obama to bomb fucken libya under soon to be passed by congress a bill titled "libya humanitarian resolution"....which sounds like the "gulf of tonkin resolution" in 1964 that lbj used to bomb north vietnam and send in the U.S. Marines to begin the Vietnam War....oh left, hanoi jane's kindly uncle ho killed thousands of South Vietnamese civilians during the Tet Offensive....ah well, our his-story has a way of repeating itself about every 40 fucken years, yet this time it is led by draft-dodgers from the Vietnam War college-educated baby-boomer generation of cowards.......
so what don't you like abt her, john?

r.
without a doubt, THE funniest thing I've seen on OS ever. RRRR
After resigning from office, she wishes she had speeded up her plans to invade Minnesota.
I figured the inauguration would have to be put off since Palin would turn up in Olympia instead of D.C. :)
LoL! Enjoyed that, John! Hmm, now I'm frightened ;)
Thank you for making me laugh out loud, on an otherwise miserable day!
Brilliant as ever, John, how the hell are you?R
Not bad, considering I was passed over for an Academy Award AGAIN. How's by you?
I'd laugh, but I'm afraid the joke's on us.
Freakin' hilarious. The mystery of life may well be housed in the scrotum. EP for sure.
Downright vicious! Glad you got the EP!
This is too funny. And way too sad.
