Palin continues her 'Drill baby drill' chant--at a SOLAR PANEL FACTORY!!!

[bulloney]

Palin was in Toledo today, making that actual statement at a company that makes solar panels.

That must have gone over well!

1. i would say she's as dumb as a bag of rocks

but that's an insult to rocks

[hobbit709]

5. A TRUCKload of rocks is smarter.

[jakem]

2. Give her a break!

So she doesn't know where solar energy comes from!



:rofl:

[Erin Elizabeth]

3. But how did the workers react?

That's what I want to know. If they cheered, they are ass-stupid.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. I heard parts of the speech...there was complete silence. There were also

echoes in the room, so my guess is that there weren't too many people there.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

9. Here:

"But Palin made only a passing reference to solar power in her speech and instead renewed her call for more drilling in U.S. coastal waters. She repeated her signature anthem, "drill, baby, drill," which seemed to fall a bit flat on the audience at the plant even as it's become a popular chant at her rallies."

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. It looks like someone on the campaign staff punked her!

[Blondiegrrl]

14. Sometimes I wonder if there is an Obama staffer planted in their midst

who's giving the McCain camp all this stellar "advice."

:rofl:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. My guess is that the thought of CariBOO Barbie being one heartbeat away is starting to

scare the crap out of these people! I'm sure most of them aren't rich enough to pack up their whole families - parents, siblings included to leave the country!

Or, what you said!!!!

:rofl:

[nc4bo]

27. Maybe it's just me but she seemed extremely uncomfortable and weirder

than usual. She was running sentences together, rushed, stumbling, stammering or lost. Maybe she never saw the speech ahead of time and came to the realization that the speech did not fit the audience in midspeech? (:wtf:)

Imma a need a youtube of that speech to inspect a little more closely.

[maxsolomon]

34. the ambien they put her on is wreaking its havoc

if you're GOP, you're on ambien. they LOVE drugs. but only legal, bad-for-you ones. :smoke:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. She's always sloppy with her speech...it is painful to listen to her, but there was a difference

with this speech..like any rabble rouser, she enjoys having her gang behind her, all aroused..and it wasn't happening in this venue.

[MonteLukast]

6. Well, if nothing else, she's got confidence.

"I can turn these people's minds around just by the sheer force of my cute face and killer bod!" Magical thinking at its finest.

:eyes: :rofl:

[Ioo]

7. she has to be the dumbest thing in the world

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. BTW...this isn't too different when she gave a speech in Va. Beach and said "Dig, Baby Dig" . She

must have thought she was in West Virginia!!!!

[Overseas]

11. Go Baby Go !! Show them how much you care !! //nt

[thoughtcrime1984]

12. Shine, baby, shine! would be more appropriate. Sunny days are good for the solar panels.

[here_is_to_hope]

21. Yep but I got to tell you....

Mine work even with three inches of snow on them!

[Blondiegrrl]

13. She takes stupid to a whole new level. n/t

[progressivebydesign]

15. Shine, baby, shine! n/t

[onenote]

16. gawd. you just can't make this stuff up!

[NotThisTime]

17. Ouch!

[jfkraus]

19. The Stupid is strong with this one.

[PermanentRevolution]

35. I'm stealing that!

:rofl:

[AFSCME girl]

20. Good God, this woman is a dolt! n/t

[Blue Diadem]

22. I hope the Solar Panel company and employees realized where they rank on the Republican's list.

I heard it and thought it was a slap in their face.

[LostinVA]

23. What the heck was the context?!

[ej510]

24. The sad thing is that McCain-Palin can win.

[WinkyDink]

46. Where?

[carnie_sf]

25. Number than a pounded thumb

as we used to say in Maine.

[KitchenWitch]

26. That went over like a fart in church I am sure.

[OneGrassRoot]

28. Is this where she talked about the "toowar"?

She made the word "tour" two friggin syllables. Ughhhhh...........

Ha! Sanchez on CNN just busted Palin on her "spread the wealth" slam against Obama by showing her talking about "spreading the wealth" in Alaska, back in August. LOLOL

[Willo]

29. Sarah Palin is soooo dumb. "How dumb is she?"

She gave a speech at a Solar Panel factory and chanted "Drill, baby, drill"


Come on now...it should not be that easy. Seriously!

[Willo]

40. Update:

I tell this to a "joke" to few people and in each instance, they smile because it's cute.

Thenk I say, "She really did that."

Let me tell you, the dumbfounded looks....just priceless. :rofl:

[Greyskye]

30. No reference to 'solar' or 'drill' in linked article

Is there a link that verifies this? :shrug:

[Ichingcarpenter]

37. Me. I watched it and live blog it along with H2Oman

[Skwmom]

31. She is such an idiot.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

32. Is she running for Vice president or Secretary of Porn? n/t

[KingFlorez]

33. Jackass

That's only word to describe her.

[JaneQPublic]

36. I'll be charitable and give her the benefit of the doubt...

...maybe by "drill" she meant like a Black & Decker drill you use to install the solar panels on your roof.

:rofl:

[progressoid]

38. I thought this would be an Onion story.

Good grief :eyes:

[BlooInBloo]

39. Blithering fucking idiot.

[1776Forever]

42. No quarantee the pipeline will go through & if it does it will be 2015!

[surrealAmerican]

43. Why would the RNC even book her to speak at a solar plant.

They already know the sort of things she'll say.

[Chulanowa]

44. How can she be so dumb and still remember to breathe?

Seriously, when Bush nearly got killed by a pretzel, I thought our limit had been reached. The lowest abyss of human intelligence had been plumbed, and that was it. Sarah Palin is proving me wrong. Oh how she is proving me so, so wrong.

I'm now convinced that the entire McCain campaign is an arcane plot to make Bush look good by comparison

[WinkyDink]

45. Maybe she wasn't thinking about oil........................;)

[Tansy_Gold]

47. Links, and comments (for those who need independent witnesses)

http://www.nbc24.com/news/story.aspx?id=213583

Local tv station confirms scheduled stop at solar manufacturer.



http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/10/29/124537/27

An obviously left-biased blog but contains more details and interesting comments. Apparently she really did do the "drill baby drill" routine. Stupid is as stupid is.



Tansy Gold, not stupid

[Beaverhausen]

48. thanks for those links. God- she reminds me of Bush.

total dolt.

[bulloney]

49. The MSNBC link posted originally had the story with Palin's 'drill' quote.

Then, they switched that same link to coverage of Obama and Biden.

She obviously has this limited number of talking points that she thinks can work anywhere at any time. She just blurts it out. Doesn't think.

[Raineyb]

50. She must have learned something today and the fact that solar is an alternative source of energy

fell out of her head.

Palin is the Kelly Bundy of politics.

Regards

[Usrename]

51. This is a joke, right?

Right?
