1. I don't know why, but I am going to rec this

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Why is his podium larger than hers?

I just boom-boomed in my sweatpants

[soothsayer]

41. it's a lectern, really (podium is the little stage) but still funny!

[Clio the Leo]

2. I hope the lack of shade at the real thing doesn't throw her off. NT

[Bicoastal]

3. That can't POSSIBLY real. There is no way. It's fake. I mean...It MUST be fake. Right?

What if it's real?

:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

[LynneSin]

19. I"m thinking the same exact thing

:scared:

[Clio the Leo]

24. Photo was also shown on Countdown. NT

[CampLo]

4. I also rec'ed

it made me laugh

[progdonkey]

5. yeah, there's... something... funny about this...

I can't quite describe exactly what.... The perspective, with her looking three feet tall in the distance? Being out in Nature, wishing she could have a gun to shut all those chirping birds up? The baseball cap showing how seriously she's taking it all?

Maybe that it all really looks like "model UN" from 6th grade summer camp?

:rofl:

[volstork]

6. Will she wear that hat or

this one:

[ChazII]

11. The Bud for sure. n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. Pretty spot...

Too bad she pollutes it with her presence.

[ChazII]

14. Sedona is used to it by now.

[SIMPLYB1980]

8. Is that Shit creek, looks like she needs a paddle.

[progdonkey]

13. from Politico:

"In the picture above, released by the campaign, she duels with McCain's top foreign policy adviser Randy Schuemann by Oak Creek, which runs through the senator's Hidden Valley Ranch."

So, no, she ain't up shit creek just yet, but she is having a delightful time with some delicious Hidden Valley Ranch.

[SIMPLYB1980]

18. LMAO!

[Median Democrat]

22. I am sure the salad bar is delightful

[rainbow4321]

9. The tree probably gave better answers than her

Dumb as a stump comes to mind, for some reason.

[Aqaba]

12. She's debating Commander REICHER! Number One! Meet Number 2!

[Lorien]

43. And they're both about to be crushed by falling trees!

[Morning Dew]

15. The McNutso campaign is very professional

nm

[AwakeAtLast]

16. God, she even looks like she's at camp.

:D

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

17. The Finer Points of Laminate Flooring Symposium.

Exercise 17: Make a podium out of laminate flooring...and discuss...

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. Close up picture of the the Tree in the Background

[Habibi]

21. That tree looks like it's about to fall on her head.

[me b zola]

23. The tree looks like it's about to crush her

Mother Earth would like to return the respect Palin has given to her. ;)

[boobooday]

25. She's working hard, even though she originally signed up for the potholder class

Gonna be a good soldier, hope for some s'mores later.

[SOS]

26. Palin debate preparation supply list:

2 differently-sized lecterns made from laminated plywood.
1 hat
1 can bug spray

[bevoette]

27. you know...i'm kinda running out of things to say at this point...

it's so...unbelievable

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. I wonder if they play Rocky music in the background at her training camp

while she does push-ups with her tongue.

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

29. I thought this was a joke

[Cali_Democrat]

30. Nope

That is Palin at debate camp.

No joke.

[TheDonkey]

31. "Thanks but no thanks!"

how many canned lines, zingers and cliches can she spout in 90 minutes?

[IndianaJohn]

32. Surreal!

You would think they would be practicing in a more realistic setting...Maybe when she is on stage for real and screws up, she can just think of this setting, her "happy place". BTW, I guess that's her thinking cap. (What an idiot!)

[Erin Elizabeth]

33. Supposedly the outdoor setting is to "relax" her.

Cindy McCain and Laura Bush are off to the side snickering that they have far more effective ways to relax.

[redstate_democrat]

34. This is sad.

:( What has happened to my country?

[2008]

35. Feisty thing, ain't she

Let's take her down by the river and make her learn some educationned.

[Merlot]

36. "Remedial" comes to mind

I don't know what's worse, that this is how they practice, or that they actually released this picture.

[mitchum]

37. Is she going to make a beaded wallet and ashtray while she is there?

[mscuedawg]

38. She didnt have a shotgun hidden behind that thar podeum did she??? hyuck hyuck

[SOS]

39. Attention Grades 9 through 12

As a special autumn treat, Principal Skinner has moved the Student Council President debate onto the lawn.

[Cali_Democrat]

40. shameless self-kick

:hide:

[gemlake]

42. You know, I was worried a little about the debate, but

after seeing this? LOL It'll be alright.

[Lorien]

44. But she shouldn't need "debate camp"

she's ready from day one, remember? :crazy:

[Scurrilous]

45. That's so freakin' goofy looking.

The people running the McCain campaign must be high on something.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

46. they must have shout as the podiums are far away

[marions ghost]

47. OMG

Barbie goes to Debate Camp

I see a SNL skit here....:D

[intheflow]

48. "Don't sweat the debate, Sarah. It'll be a walk in the park."

:eyes:

[Warren DeMontague]

49. All it needs is Benny Hill to pop out from behind one of those suckers with that silly music playing

:crazy:

[terrya]

50. The cap is such a cute touch, Sarah. You should wear it tomorrow night.

She's so darned wonderful. Gosh, gee.

[Frank Cannon]

51. "This one time at debate camp...

I lost my notes and I was supposed to answer a question, but I didn't know it, so I just made it up and I kept talking and talking and the moderator didn't know what I was doing and it was so funny."
