wow, first russia now this. now she's got all of asia covered, time to move on to europe. maybe she'll try some french fries, she hears they taste like freedom fries.

Wow. Palin better watch out. She'll certainly show just how far "out of touch" she is with the sushi eating, Bordeaux sipping, Macbook browsing, Whole Foods shopping, black turtle-neck wearing hipster crowd.

Talk about out of touch

No. She better watch out because snowmobile maintenance isn't likely to come up in the VP debates.

All this hand-wringing obsession over "experience" has been one of the worst parts of this election. Though I guess it's just the latest non-issue used to avoid any semblance of meaningful policy debate.

don't forget, Alaska is right next to Canada too :P

Strange, a few months ago I could have sworn you posted several times about how RP had been in the House for 20 years, and he had a lot of experience "walking the walk" on fiscal policy. "Dr. No" and all that.

But remembering that would prevent you from being so self-righteous and self-satisfied with your "non-conventional" political approach.

John McCain: Selecting Vice Presidential nominees with his dick since 2008!

RON PAUL

I never said anything about Paul's time in the House making him "experienced enough" to be President.

But hey, when you can't think of an actual criticism of what I'm saying, just make shiat up, attribute it to me, and attack that. It gives the impression of engaging in intelligent conversation without the whole messy business of intelligent thought.

Well, ya got me there. Pretty good sounding attack though if you hadn't rebutted it :)

It's fun to play troll sometimes.

Then she joined John McCain at the International House of Pancakes.

Wait 'til the press finds out her pickup has one of those old-timey horns that goes "Arugula!"

That's because they both know they suck on monetary policy and civil liberty protection. These non-issues are much easier to deal with and control. Saying "LOOK AT US! WE'RE THE SAME!" doesn't win elections.

Sushi.....?

Sounds somewhat.....elitist....

NeverDrunk23: Sushi.....?

Sounds somewhat.....elitist....

I wonder how many homes she owns. And whether or not she barbeques.

I hope she has a staff that can get back to you on that.

North of 80? Hell, north of 40 as far as I'm concerned.

Finally, I'm actually justified in posting this:

Moosemeat sushi?

Alaska is so exotic. Like Hawaii.

That's disturbing. I didn't laugh, but.... maybe confused amusement is the best way to describe my reaction.

this headline is better than any content in the article. In ase you were wondering. Don't waste your time.

I'm still just so stunned by this choice. I was going Obiden, but I wasn't particularly juiced about it.

I really feel like McCain just spit in the face of the American people. Republicans are patting themselves on the back because they think this gives them a campaign advantage, but it comes at the cost of any concern for the security of the country and the welfare of the American people. All Republicans seem to be interested in is whether this will be a successful tactic, as though the entire election was just a sporting event and the Presidency some prize you win at the end.

This person is not qualified to be president, which is the only real duty the job entails. Any comparison between her and Obama is faulty, because he participated in a primary process and was chosen by 19 million voters. Palin was chosen by one man, over literally dozens of more qualified candidates. Her unfitess is only heightened by McCain's age and health history, which makes it more likely that she will ascend to the presidency than any other VP candidate in history. The idea that he would choose her to succeed him in this event shows a stunning lack of judgement, and nothing but contempt for this country and it's people.

From the article: Sarah Palin once one a competitive eating contest by devouring three live caribou.

I wonder what life experiences would lead someone to the place where he can't tell the difference between "won" and "one".

sushi? yeah, off her nakid body.

Little Known Fact: Sarah Palin gave birth to an adult polar bear, then clubbed it for its fur.

/trying to spread the meme like herpes

She really made an impression in college:

Kenton Bird, director of the University of Idaho's School of Journalism and Mass Media, said she didn't write for the independent college newspaper, The Argonaut, and didn't do any work for the university television station KIUI while she was there.

Most of her journalism professors have retired or died, he said. Bird worked at the local newspaper, The Moscow-Pullman Daily News (then called The Idahonian), during Palin's time at the University of Idaho and he doesn't remember her ever freelancing or interning for the paper.

Two of her past journalism professors don't remember her, either.

"I wish I could say that I knew something about her, but I just don't," said Roy Atwood, the former director of the journalism program and the faculty member who signed her application for graduation.

Don Coombs also taught Palin while she was at the University of Idaho, but he doesn't remember her, either.

I have to call shenanigans on anyone who claims they've made up their mind suddenly over McCains VP choice.

Anyone who is that hair trigger has already fired.

Sarah Palin recently doubled her foreign relations experience by trying sushi for the first time

So now she has twice as much as Obama instead of just as much? That's good then.

rathoth: Little Known Fact: Sarah Palin gave birth to an adult polar bear, then clubbed it for its fur.

little known fact: the palin family crest is a picture of a barracuda eating neil armstrong.

Her husband appears to be able to fit in with union workers downing beers and eating bar-b-que without wearing those stiff brand new jeans you see candidates and their families wear at these events.


Todd Palin is a veteran oil-field worker and commercial fisherman affectionately dubbed Alaska's "first dude." He's a man who took college courses but does not have a degree, yet can hold his own in sophisticated circles, even hosting a reception for five former Alaska first ladies earlier this month.

A father of five, he's also a four-time winner of the world's longest snowmobile race, billed as the most grueling. It's a sport the 43-year-old lifelong Alaskan is so passionate about that he's continued to compete even after his wife took office in December 2006.

McCain/Palin

Why no voting? Surely this is the thread for making up new "facts".

mcwebe0: Why no voting? Surely this is the thread for making up new "facts".

Sarah Palin facts are not made up - they are discovered when playing backwards recordings of her saying "aboot".

atlanta_ufo: Her husband appears to be able to fit in with union workers downing beers and eating bar-b-que without wearing those stiff brand new jeans you see candidates and their families wear at these events.

That's something that will be very awkward. The republican party is the enemy of unions. She can't exactly capitalize on her husband's union buds without turning off the base big time.

QFT. When you mentioned Republicans thinking about the election as a prize it reminded me of how McCain himself said he wanted the office as a prize. It sickens me that these people want to run the country and don't seem to care about anyone else living here.

Hollie Maea: I wonder what life experiences would lead someone to the place where he can't tell the difference between "won" and "one".

I don't no.

steveGswine: Sarah Palin facts are not made up - they are discovered when playing backwards recordings of her saying "aboot".

Not nearly as good as how she pronounces 'crack.'

I want reporters to ask her lots of questions about the crack problem in the US.

Palin's planning to go into her debate with Biden having just eaten the still-warm liver of the bull elk she killed backstage with her bare hands without so much as chipping a nail.

burndtdan: wow, first russia now this. now she's got all of asia covered, time to move on to europe. maybe she'll try some french fries, she hears they taste like freedom fries.



Hey, Christine Gregoire is the governor of the State of Washington. Since Washington is next to Canada, Christine Gregoire has excellent foreign policy experience, just like Sarah Palin!

Bellingham is a town just south of the US-Canada border in Washington. That means that the mayor of Bellingham must be a foreign policy guru! Hell, he could probably negotiate a peace treaty between Palestine and Israel.

That's some fine logicatin 'there, Lou.

Little known fact: Sarah Palin did the Kessel run in 12 parsecs.

chiett: Sarah Palin recently doubled her foreign relations experience by trying sushi for the first time

You mean she's served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee longer than Obama, and visited Iraq as far back as 2006? Somebody better tell the McCain campaign, quick!

Oh, wait, she's done none of those things. Never mind.

oh yea if she is so great why did she have a retarded kid?? when that kid is a adult it will need WELFARE!!! to be taken care of. fiscal conservatism is DEAD!!
