7. Apparently she thinks Bambi & Snow White will be debating her.

[Bucky]

21. I think she could take Bambi. But Snow White is too well versed on the issues for Palin.

[Diane R]

9. Wow. When they say 'creek', it really is a creek. Even 5'7" John could jump over it.

[alcibiades_mystery]

33. Randy Scheunemann

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Randy_Scheunemann

Randy Scheunemann was the President of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, which was created by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), of which he is a board member. He was Trent Lott's National Security Aide and was an advisor to U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Iraq. He is 2008 U.S. presidential candidate John McCain's foreign-policy aide.<1>

Scheunemann has been criticized for his close association with Ahmad Chalabi during the George W. Bush administration's campaign to generate public support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.<2>

In mid-July 2008, the Sunday Times of London linked Scheunemann to Stephen Payne, a lobbyist covertly filmed as he offered to arrange meetings with Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and others, in exchange for donations to the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Payne said Scheunemann had been "working with me on my payroll for five of the last eight years"...

[Monk06]

24. What no dress rehearsal? She looks like an off duty Dairy Queen server in that get up.

She reminds me of Parker Posey as Libby Mae Brown the
DQ girl in Waiting for Guffman

[symbolman]

29. What?

No IGLOOS?

ON EDIT: Had a little fun with photoshop :)

[Monk06]

31. No igloos but lots of Blizzards

And the Arctic Rush

[symbolman]

34. What a horrible way to treat

my beloved Tundra.. I virtually LIVED on that wonderful grass field and insane mountain ranges for 6 months over two summers in a wild MASH-like camp, flying around and crashing in helicopters with a team of insanely reckless Vietnam Vet pilots looking for Uranium for the Dept of Energy in the late 1970's..

Chased by bears, out of villages naked by a lynchmob of native folks shaking hatches and rifles, etc, etc.. wrote a book about it called "THE JESUS BOLT", after that little sliver of metal at the top of the chopper that holds all the blades together, if that falls out, the next person you'll be talking to, according to the pilots was, "jesus, Himself" :)

Never saw any of THOSE blizzards up there tho.. :)

[Monk06]

35. I spent a year in Churchill Manitoba during the Cuban Missile crisis and the JFK

assassination. The Cold War with Polar Bears

Very interesting year.

[symbolman]

36. Bwahaha!

The Cold War with Polar Bears! Have you written any of that down? Like I told my wife, "Wouldn't it be funny if I spent the first half of my life being wild and screwing up, and the second half making a living by writing about it?"

Always wanted to be Hunter S. Thompson's bastard son, and lived my life accordingly :)

[Monk06]

38. "We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to kick in"

Now that's quality prose right there.

[symbolman]

43. Loved this part

"There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man plunged into the depths of an ether binge.." :)

He was a God.. My son's middle name is "Hunter" due to him, and my son wore a prosthesis on his head for a spell after being born (to round it out, worked great), and at Duck Soup in LA I was able to get Ralph Steadman to sign his helmet when they were refusing to let him sign Anything, just held him up and said, "Hey Ralph, this little boy's middle name is Hunter, will you sign his helmet?" everyone was so jealous, and hopefully my little one will in the future feel no shame over having to wear the stupid thing, as a toddler.. :)

Ralph was wearing Hunter's hat, it was so tempting to snatch and run far away, but knowing his fans, they'd have stood on my neck, and pissed down my Nazi throat..

[lolamio]

25. This thread is funny!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Thrill]

26. I thought this was

a sit down debate

[Thrill]

27. I thought this was

a sit down debate

[Drunken Irishman]

30. I thought so too?

Weird.

[bdamomma]

28. appropriate place for her, I wonder if she had her paddles with her

probably NOT.

[Condem]

32. Yes, indeed. She'll name her next kid after it.

Creek Palin.

[jberryhill]

37. No - It's Not A Creek, It's A Brook. She's Teaching It To Babble

It didn't babble before, and the McCain's figured since they'll be spending the next four years at home, they'd like to have a babbling brook on their property.

[democrat2thecore]

39. Here's the picture

Sorry, I googled the story and the only picture I could find was from Fox Noise;
http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/09/30/palin-debate-prep-at-mccain-ranch/

Click on the picture and there's a huge version - look at Palin, she looks all of 16.

[DRoseDARs]

40. Up Shit Creek without a paddle OR a clue?

Well, the Shitcreek General Store does have paddles in stock but unfortunately Gov. Palin, clues are still on back-order.

[Madam Mossfern]

41. I don't really think its funny

I'm sure she's quite stressed and they want her to be able to absorb information in an atmosphere that is relaxing to her. They are well aware that isn't even close to the type of venue for the debate, but I've got a notion that they have some sort of behaviorist or hypnotist (not the spooky kind) who will have her go back to that peaceful place when she gets stressed during the debate.

He hasn't shown it lately, but I don't the McCain campaign is that stupid.

[mamalone]

44. Absolutely.

I think you've hit it right on.

[Honeycombe8]

42. Not sure why people have a problem w/that. What's wrong with that?

It sounds like a great location. I saw a pic...it was a beautiful area. Trees, grass, a creek. Wish I could go somewhere like that for a weekend.

[TexasObserver]

45. Likely: some dipshit thought it would be a cool photo op out there.

I kinda doubt they practice outside. Looks like a set up for a photo op.

There isn't anything real about McCain-Palin.
