Yeah, you can probably get away from the Sarah Palin jokes, submitter. It's not topical anymore, and makes you stale as a "BUSH SUCKS" T-shirt.

 
daychilde [TotalFark] 2008-11-30 04:24:25 AM  
Oh I dunno... I thought this was a nice balance to the original concept (Palin seeing Russia from her backyard).... although I can understand your point... I'm all for moving forward and letting memes die quickly.... most of the time, at least.

Or conversely, It makes you seem humorless and politically driven.

Why all the smitty hate? Yeah it's old, but I snickered, in the kind of "Man, I hadn't thought of that since High School" sort of way.

/except high school was much longer ago than Sarah Palin

Yawn.

You need to be more topical like the guy above said. May I suggest some negro or mulatto jokes??

 
skinink 2008-11-30 07:52:16 AM  

Palin jokes are old already? I seem to remember after the loss, how the press was saying Palin would be the 2012 nominee. So she'll never go away; she'll be around for the next 4 years. I liked the headline.

Please..... Palin never said I can see Russia from my house.

She said "They're our next-door neighbors
and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska --
from an island in Alaska."

Tina Fey (SNL cast member) said "I can see Alaska from my house". Which seems to have been attributed to Palin.

This video is way funnier than any left political moose shooting t-shirt joke the serious internet ever came up with.

It completly trumps all the Palin jokes you got. And it makes Subby's attempt a little sad.

Thanks for playing

The point is, a lot of the stuff she really did say was equally dumb, and the SNL line was an amusing way to sum that up.

Those being polled not knowing anything about their party, typical I would say. But, then they know the stupid things about Palin, thats just sad. Really sad. And then, to top it off, to attribute the things out of the obama camp to the Palin makes me cry a little inside.

Personally I blame the media. God damn its sickening that people know how much her clothes cost but don't know who the house majority leader is.

1) Palin has been dead and buried but I am all for putting her body on a pike on the Appian Way as an example to the others
2) Bush is still President and he still sucks.

Translation: Don't let facts get in the way of our hatred of Sarah Palin.

And in fairness to Captain Planet, his exact words were "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Not exactly a claim that he invented it but closer to it than Sarah Palin saying she could see Russia from her house.

So true... About two weeks ago a good friend of mine who happens to be an Obama supporter told me that Palen didnt even know that Africa was a continent. I mentioned that I had a hard time believeing that since we learned simple geography when we were in elementary school.

He stood by his statement.

Since then I have learned that the Palen not knowing Africa was a Continent was a complete fraud. I have not had the time to discuss it with my friend. But I will.

Point being....People will belive lies about a person before researching the truth if their hate is stronger than any quest for intellectual honesty.

Palen hate > Intellectual Honesty to Democrats

That says a whole lot about the Obama base.

You would think that our next President telling lies to the voting public about how he would finance his campain would be more of a topic to discuss than what Sarah Palin did or did not say.

Again, that takes intellectual honsty...

 
TexasPete [TotalFark] 2008-11-30 11:22:54 AM  
subby here. As for the untimely Palin joke, she is coming to Augusta, Ga (my city) to campaign for Saxby Chambliss in the Senate runoff, so the Palin jokes are flying here. I thought I'd include Fark in on the fun.

May I suggest that, in your support of Palin, you start by learning how to spell her name?

So says a person from Texas, where 25% of the populace still believe Obama is a practicing Muslim.

People dislike Palin because she is deeply stupid and an insult to the intelligence of the voting public.

You can do all the suggesting you want. Fact is... I don't care if I spell words correctly or not. This is Fark, not a college thesis.

BTW: I notice that your response was about me, not the fact that liberals hate for Palin > than intellectual honesty.

DO yant to discuss that big fat lie that obama said when it comes to public financing? Ummbama bought his job for 3/4 of a billion dollars. I'm sure your quite proud of your guy who had to lie to the american public in order to buy his new job.

Norad: Yeah, you can probably get away from the Sarah Palin jokes, submitter. It's not topical anymore, and makes you stale as a "BUSH SUCKS" T-shirt.

The reason I will continue to wear my BUSH SUCKS T-shirt is because of the lesson I learned from Reagan. As a President, he was abysmal. He sold missile parts to Iran and funded nun-rapists in Guatemala and Nicaragua. He lied and then claimed no recollection of the events when the Iran Contra allegations were proved. He sent Marines to be slaughtered in Beirut. He jacked up the drug war to family-destroying proportions. But somehow his reputation was rehabilitated to Mount Rushmore status.

If I stop wearing my BUSH SUCKS T-shirt, someday they'll try to put Bush's face on the dime. In fact, the world depends on me wearing that T-shirt.

Ok, who cares about the "Russia from my house" quote? This is the funniest thing I've seen about Sarah Palin, and it's 100% true:

www.cbc.ca

I watched the entire interview, with the dumbfounded guy in the background, and I laughed and laughed and laughed. I really couldn't believe that was for real. Funnier than anything Tina Fey did.

You did a mighty fine job of attacking me based on where I live. I also noticed that you could not challenge my observations that liberals hate for Palin is greater than their quest for intellectual honesty..

People dislike Palin because she is deeply stupid and an insult to the intelligence of the voting public.

Ahhhh...look maww... more insults instead of factual rebuttal.

Actually the majority of the voting public is an insult to intelligent people.

We are all about to witness Audacity of Hype. It started with the public financing lie, where will it end?

She apparently is not afraid of turkey butchering.

Or shooting a gun, or of being around US troops.

All three of these factors differentiate her from the average Liberal foobie transport.

I want to thank liberals for reminding me that they support all women who know how to keep their whore mouths shut.

Ok, yeah. Anchor Point is hardly "remote" Alaska. It's on the freaking road system between Anchorage and Homer. A paved, relatively well-maintained road system on the Kenai Peninsula.

And Cantwell, near Denali NP, is on the fairly well-traveled road between the two largest cities in Alaska.

Durrrrr. I mean, Juneau would be considered more remote than these places. Yup, the capitol of AK isn't even on the road system.

Remote would be Kiana, where a friend spent some time teaching in a Native camp. or Galena. Or Savoonga, where most people's first language is Yupik.

Idiot media.
