The McCain telegraph exchange must be busy.

Oh, it's not like they could reach their absentee governor anyway.

Well, they have traveled the world and met with leaders from some of those countries. Some of the leaders were even fearless (pops).

What Mavricks

They should just email her with their questions/concerns.

I's sure many of us will know the answers and get back to them in a timely fashion.

Well any good Alaskan should understand the concept of bigger fish to fry.

I bet Illini are furious they can't reach their Senator except through the Obama campaign. Its almost as if a Senator's job is less important than a Governors.

Palin: Hehey Rocky, watch me pull this election out of my a$$.

McCain: Awww, that trick never works.

Did you get a restraining order?

Can we just cut a deal with McCain? Let Obama win the General Election, and in exchange McCain/Palin will be given Alaska as a sovereign nation where all the Fundies can go live while preparing for the end times?

Confabulat: Well any good Alaskan should understand the concept of bigger fish to fry.

If she can't speak to people in the state she governs, then she should resign her office.

If you call Obama's senate office, you get his senate office staff - not his campaign.

I've heard of worse plans. The only problem is that they will probably do that whole war thing a lot. Of course, they will only have the resources of Alaska with which to do it, so there's that.

On the other hand, we've gotten a lot of experience with knocking off radical fundamentalist oil-rich countries when they get uppity. We could bring them the benefits of democracy. Plus I hear Alaska has WMD's, so really it'd be our duty.

Utah should be retained; however, only to turn it into a Maximum Security Prison, like they did with NYC in Escape from New York. Turn walling off the entire state into a Public Works Project to create jobs, and give the troops returning from Iraq light duty guarding those walls. Also, it could be used as a dump site for nuclear waste from all the reactors we'll bring online to lower oil consumption.

Idaho is where the Aryan Nation is based and is going for McCain with 62%.

I'll sweeten the deal by throwing in Wyoming.

Sorry, folks but Alaska is under new management as of this nomination:

Wait, there's a perfectly good capitalist plan here. We bought Alaska years ago, and we did a number of improvements. I say we wait till all the fundies are there and sell it on the open market and use the proceeds to pay for the banking bailout.

No that won't work. They need the money generated by the liberal cities and the military force created by our corrupt welfare ridden pagan government to start their jihad. There's far far too many resources down here to be used for their fight against the brown people.

"She would have gotten none of her bills passed without us, and to see her come in and attack us now the way she's attacking us, when it's completely unwarranted, is just tearing people up," said Democratic state Sen. Bill Wielechowski. "I think it's going to make it hard for her to come back and govern in this state."

See? They know already she's coming back home.

why did the nutcases pick the prettiest states?

Alaskans: We want our gov back!

Palin: FU ... you have to call corporate now, biaches! I don't want to open up my mouth and fark up McCain's campaign. I'm a female figure head, and nothing more.

I don't know if you noticed, (I'm in Spokane, not Idaho) we kicked those shiatheads out of the Inland Northwest. The McCain thing is both fascinating and frightening.

Still Alaska will be a red state come election night although it wwould be an exclamation point if the state was blue.

FAIL.

(If you call or e-mail on a business day you will discover that Obama's offices are as thoroughly staffed and responsive as ever.)

I cannot condone Alaska being its own nation. Their environmental track record is bad enough even under the watchful eye of the Feds, I would hate for Canada to have to shoulder the burden of invading Alaska and installing a more eco-friendly government.

couldn't find a picture of him beaten up

Sorry, Alaskers, she's moved on. But she'll be back.

Obama really should go ahead and rerun the old mushroom cloud add that LBJ used so effectively against Barry Goldwater, with McCain/Palin dubbed in in place of Goldwater. (new window)

Gist of the link: McCain's ties to the Republic of Georgia worry even his advisors.

Hmmm, have you ever been to Idaho? I think it's probably more fundie than Utah. But seriously, I'm getting the impression that Alaska is where people move when they find Idaho just too damn liberal.

I live 3 miles from Idaho, yeah, I've been there. I have worked with many people from Idaho for years. I'd suggest they're quite conservative, but in my opinion conservative doesn't exactly equal fundie.

Besides, the best strip club in the area is in Idaho, what would I do with my free time?

I'm pretty confident that Obama WILL win the general election and, upon doing so, we should give McCain JAIL TIME for his involvement in the savings and loan scandal that fleeced Americans of 30 billion dollars.

There. That's my deal. Pretty sweet, ain't it?

There is 0% chance this women is innocent. McCain is trying to muster up some pathetically managed damage control before Nov.
