clifton: Still don't understand the worship of this woman...

There are people like me (and I assume you) who like it when our leaders are clearly smarter then us, at least in the realm of things that matter in a leadership position.

I have no problem saying President Obama is smarter then I. So is his wife, for that matter. But there are many, many people who want to feel as smart as their leaders. That their leaders are "just regular people."

For them, Palin is a natural. At least that's the only farking sense I can make of it. The idea of her in any sort of national political power structure scares me as much as if I was in the position.

Even after multiple watches/listens, it leaves you looking like:



It's almost like somebody just off camera is holding Palin at gunpoint and making her read it.

beve: In the words of Kang said, "We must move forward, not backward; upward not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!"

FTFY. Use the proper Palinistic syntax!

Oh hi, I love you. It's like you just pinched my sense of humour's bum and winked. Now you're all green with "My silly fish jacket" next to your name. Isn't that nice?

A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket... and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN.



But inflation isn't that bad right now.

I'll bet Russia looks pretty good to her right now.

andrewagill:

God, I wish I still had my WIN button. Even as a kid who didn't really understand what inflation was, I knew that wearing a button wasn't going to solve any economic problems.

Yay Ford.

Sorry, I see McCain more as Lando. Not intentionally evil, just sorta forced into it.

I like to think of McCain as the guy who crashed five podracers in Episode 1, and by Return of the Jedi had convinced everyone he was the one who really beat Sebulba.

Were the first two minutes of her speech giving campaign promises without giving examples of upholding those promises? Did she, not ironically, note how her stepping down was to for the betterment of Alaska without explaining her next steps or similar? Both of those appear as though she agreed she was inefficient and politicking as per usual.

If such was her intention, I gravely underestimated the honesty of the woman. Considering the mindless chatter which has permeated anything coming out of her mouth, including within this speech, I'll have to assume otherwise, though.

//I wonder if she is even still in Alaska? She could be anywhere by now with that Cessna float plane.

i would not be at all surprised if she is now in a country that does not have extrication to the US. The way she left screams the oil is about to hit the anus.

I see McCain as the Imperial commander who Darth Vader force choked. He was not intentionally evil, but knowing full well he was committing evil for a group despite having been slapped around.

After actually reading the transcript I feel this irrepressible urge to pull a gun on my keyboard's comma key and shoot the living shiat out of it.

Crosshair: Bathia_Mapes

That would explain how he was able to dupe millions into voting for him with nothing but empty and vauge rhetoric. The people continue to love him even when they dislike his policies.

Either that or it is a dark plot by Palpatine to keep Skywalker off balance and distracted while he builds his power base. (Or Virgin Island beach home, one of the two.) Could Palpatine be controlling Skywalker without his knowing it? Hmmmmmm.

Of course with Joe Biden as Hans Solo, it's no wonder the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon had such shoddy reliability.

I would say the Palin/Jar Jar comparison is accurate, though Jar jar was at least able to be somewhat helpful in an indirect and chaotic manner if you looked at his performance over the long term.

/clapping golfishly...

I like to think of John McCain like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!

DamnYankees: Meanwhile, Obama was busy writing his 2004 Convention Speech himself, and his Philadelphia Race Speech, and etc.

At least we know he's literate. I heard a lot of them negroes ain't.

I have no problem saying President Obama is smarter then I.

I too, have no problem saying, "President Obama is smarter than you".

TomD9938: vartian

He just didn't finish his sentence and had poor punctuation. What he meant to say was 'I have no problem saying President Obama is smarter, then I will go make a sandwich of turkey and cheese.'

Well, what I heard was:

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that shes half crazy
But thats why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That youve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For youve touched her perfect body with your mind.

And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe youll trust him
For hes touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now suzanne takes you hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From salvation army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.

but the official transcript disagrees with me.

El Pachuco

Weird. I kept wondering what the hell Manhattan and Berlin had to do with anything. I mean, I didn't know if she was trying to lampoon the Kennedy thing or what.

I can't believe some people think this is gearing up for 2012. She would be running against an incumbent and having her only real political experience be being governor of a barren state for half a term before deciding to quit unexpectedly. You can't do that and honestly expect to be taken seriously; she would get absolutely torn apart in the primaries.

And did anyone catch that "we've seen a real climate change" line in there? With any luck we won't be hearing much from her again for a long time.

ZombieStomper:

(quoting Freeper) Sarah Palin just declared all-out war on the left - and believe me, she can wage that war like no other - as has been well demonstrated.

Ain't that the truth. Her positives were very high until she opened her damned mouth.

I can write a better speech than her. That should not be. I'm not even 20. What the heck.

Acceptable either way.

I think not only are indictments coming, but she probably needs to free up her time to go make speeches in order to make some money that she undoubtedly needs to pay for legal bills. No matter what she does, the base will love her. Fox News will probably give her her own show.

I doubt her family even knows what's going on 100%. This whole thing seems very impulsive.

Onward, Christian soldiers!

And all of this makes her even more endearing to her base. 80% of Republicans. The more she farks up, the more she becomes a political martyr.

Anyways, I'm wondering if there are any Republicans that actually take her seriously.

Lenny_da_Hog: Let's hope they don't pull her book deal for this, eh?

HAHAHAHAHA!

Are you kidding me? They know they'll sell millions of copies. My mom will buy two and give me one. Which is cool, because free toilet paper is awesome sauce.

jrchan: Anyways, I'm wondering if there are any Republicans that actually take her seriously.

Tons. They think that the folksy exterior is the front behind which she obscures her brilliance. Just like GWB. Ignorance is knowledge, weakness is strength, etc. They make decisions about who runs the real world based upon their own internal Bizarro World.

Some are still defending her in other threads. If you count Fark Independents^TM.

Dunno... I'd be awfully nervous this evening if I were her publisher. A fallen star won't sell many rising-star books.

No, but this woman has an almost fanatical following. Quitting won't phase them. I think we've already seen that in the threads about it today.

And I have a personal friend that thought it was awesome she talked to Palin about hair and shoes while waiting in line for coffee. She said, "And I was just so amazed that she's just so PRETTY!"

From across the room another gal in our dance class said, "I'm sorry, but STUPID IS NOT PRETTY."

Well, that certainly sounds official enough to be it.

Crosshair: I would say the Palin/Jar Jar comparison is accurate, though Jar jar was at least able to be somewhat helpful in an indirect and chaotic manner if you looked at his performance over the long term.

He could only be considered useful if you actually wanted Palpatine to be put into a position of perpetual power and start the Republic down the not-so-long road from Democratic Republic to harsh authoritarian dictatorship. I agree that his comparison to Palin is spot on, but not for the reasons that you nor the creator of the graphic seem to realize.
