Palin is the gift that keeps on giving!

ELIZABETH VARGAS: If it doesn't go your way on Tuesday ... 2012?

GOV SARAH PALIN: I'm just ... thinkin' that it's gonna go our way on Tuesday, November 4. I truly believe that the wisdom of ... of the people will be revealed on that day. As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets. ...

VARGAS: But the point being that you haven't been so bruised by some of the double standard, the sexism on the campaign trail, to say, "I've had it. I'm going back to Alaska."

PALIN: Absolutely not. I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we've taken, that ... that would ... bring this whole ... I'm not doin' this for naught.

Ok here's the really great part, the McCain camp heard about this from Cnn's Dana Bash and she said the adviser was "Speechless"

Gold digger, table for one?

[louis-t]

1. "As they enter the voting booth, Jeeeesus gonna come down

slap them on the side of the head, and show them some stark contrastin'." God, she makes me sick.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. "show them some stark contrastin'" - lol!

:rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

2. I'm just thinkin Sarah needs to crawl back in the slimy Alaskan..

hole she slithered out of....:puke:

[AlCzervik]

3. i would love to hear what's going on at Camp McCain, he must be hopping up and down.

[Virginia Dare]

8. Body language doesn't lie..

they absolutely hate each other, Johnny's life must be pretty miserable right now, what with Cindy giving off that glassy-eyed drugged-out stare and Sarah out mavericking the maverick....:evilgrin:

[RedLetterRev]

37. HE'S the one who let that genie out of the bottle

and it bit him in his wrinkled old arse. Post-defeat, watch for the recriminations to begin. :popcorn:

[Why Syzygy]

4. She has now

started contending that people should take her seriously. 2012 is a much better time table with that hurdle to over come. I don't know that she will ever get over it. It's very difficult to take her so called policy statements seriously. Of course that's true of her running mate too.

I take her little winks and atcha's very seriously.

[Swamp Rat]

5. Every slug for himself!

:D

[AlCzervik]

6. Exactly! Lol.

:rofl:

[Why Syzygy]

10. yewww

nasty! :rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

16. Hee Hee, slugs aren't even that slimy...n/t

[malaise]

17. Perfect

:rofl:

[TeeYiYi]

38. I know, Swamp Rat... What the hell?...

Joe the Slug surfaced after the shit storm, for his 15 minutes? What a creep. Good for us. Bad for McCain. I think he's a distraction and a grim reminder of failed Republican strategy that does nothing but hurt the McCain/Palin ticket. Whatever... This is the craziest election cycle I've ever been witness to. Opportunists everywhere.

Perfect graphic!

TYY

[Xipe Totec]

7. So she's already planing what to do after the Nov defeat?

I bet that went over great with Johny Boy.

[Virginia Dare]

11. He's so much roadkill on Sarah's highway to success at this point...n/t

[AlCzervik]

12. and she went all "Rogue" so can you imagine they were informed by cnn about her statement?

the yelling that must have happened.

[Political Tiger]

9. The Puke primaries for 2012 should be fun to watch!

They well eat her alive!

[Virginia Dare]

14. Can't wait to see her duking it out with Rudy and Mittsy..

throw Hucky, Jebby and Joe LIEberman in there for good measure, it will be quite a party!....:popcorn: :party:

[livetohike]

27. Throw Pawlenty, Jindal, Tom Ridge and maybe even Jeb Bush

Yeah, she has a chance :eyes: Oh maybe Ricky Santorum will join in too. Have all the right wing wingnuts at the party.

[Virginia Dare]

30. Maybe "Macaca" Allen will give it another shot too...

put them all in a gladiator ring and watch them tear each other to bits. I look forward to that extreme entertainment.

[Fumesucker]

19. Palin may not be an intellectual..

But she is a shrewd politician and the fundies love her like no one else I can think of in politics.

Sarahcuda can blow that fundie dog whistle like a steam calliope. If the Repubs want to keep the fundie base, and they really have no choice, I think Sarahcuda is going to be a fixture in politics for the foreseeable future. The more we hate her the more the fundies will love her.

[Virginia Dare]

31. If the repubs were smart, and we all know they aren't...

they would build the party back up from the middle, but something tells me they'll run to their safe place, the extreme right once again.

[mikeytherat]

33. Throwing red meat to rabid animals is hardly the mark of a shrewd politician.

Especially rabid animals who go ballistic every time they have to press "1" for English.

mikey_the_rat

[Hekate]

15. John McCain must regret the day he met her. I'll bet McNasty is very unpleasant to be with now.

:rofl:

Hekate

[misanthrope]

18. The image of hyper-ambition worked so well...

...for Hillary Clinton, a female politico with eight times the acumen of Palin. America still cuts women less slack in that regard than they do men. The Alaskan is going to overplay her hand.

[Forrest Greene]

25. That's How It Strikes Me, Too

Yep. Give 'em enough rope, 'n' doggone it, they'll hang themselves, by golly.

It also strikes me that the choice of what Gov. Palin does in the 2012 campaigns may not be entirely up to her.

[crikkett]

32. 'xactly. She might not be out of jail by 2012. n/t

[snappyturtle]

20. I just read the first page of the interview and palin's answers are so

convoluted I don't have a clear message from her. What a ditz. I don't think she understands the questions and talks in run on sentences for her 'answers'. Move over Edith, here's the genuine ding-bat!

[AlCzervik]

22. true but the one that was clear enough was her "Naught" and that's going to

suck up some news cycles and not in a good way for McCain.

Keep yapping Palin.

[snappyturtle]

35. Yeah, it's obvious to anyone paying attention that sp has bigger and better

ideas for her career than as the running mate of jm. I believe the majority of republican voters won't pay any attention to her use of "naught" because they likely couldn't explain what it means.

[Ghost in the Machine]

21. So is herpes....

and I don't want *either* of them in my life!

[MichaelHarris]

23. I'm pretty sure that

more than a few republicans that go into the booth think they're supposed to masturbate when they see her name on the screen. My guess, plenty of them have been in "other" booths.

[CitizenPatriot]

24. she gives me motion sickness

I shudder to think of a translator having to translate her. she makes absolutely no sense. How would this work when she is negotiating with unfriendly foreign leaders? Can she speak? We know she can read a speech, but can she just speak about anything, in a coherent sentence?

The fact that the Republicans are running with this tells you how out of touch they are. I guess they thought we wouldn't care or even bother to learn about Palin's policies or if she can talk to world leaders. They really thought they could sell us a made up narrative about a hockey mom and we'd all lap it up like the morons they think we are. Not this time, GOP. We bought your Bush and we learned that we need to examine the puppets you roll out with their phony narratives and branding and dangerous agendas to steal freedoms and money from regular American citizens. It's funny listening to them prattle on with accusations of socialism because they clearly demonstrate a lack of comprehension about socialism, but furthermore, who just nationalized the banks and indeed essentially socialized Wall Street? yeah, the GOP.

Of course, they bank on their base not researching anything...and I guess that's been proven to be a safe bet.

Lie, GOP, Lie.

edited to add: I copied this from a post I tried to make on the ABC site. Of course WE didn't buy Bush....I worked both Dem campaigns against the chimp.

[mascarax]

26. CNN report was great

Although Wolf Blitzer can't pronounce "naught"...

I too saw the Dana Bash report about telling a senior level McCain advisor who was rendered speechless, as chimpsrsmarter (nice name) wrote...and then the McCainie person simply said, "huh".

Palin is out of control, and while I'm trying to focus on the next week and not the aftermath, I must say that the infighting in the McCain campaign will be pretty interesting reading! Honestly, whenever I see McCain with Palin in an interview (starting with the "let's try to correct this mess with Katie Couric" joint interview), I swear he looks like he's secretly seething and just detests her. In the Couric joint interview, she looked cowed (e.g. quick looks at McCain, unsure whether to speak up or what to say so as to not trigger his notorious temper). But now she knows he's a loser so she's in her usual backstabbing mode.

Good times.

[IndianaJohn]

28. So i guess she is equating wisdom to voting for McCain/her...

I guess it's wise to vote for someone with no wisdom and no intellect.

WHATEVER!!!:eyes:

[upi402]

29. Sympathy cards for her entire family are in order n/t

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

34. This comes to mind..

[KharmaTrain]

36. GOOP Rookie Of The Year...

What the hell...use baseball analogies here...

Bible Spice is the new kid called up from the minors (the GOOP farm system is a joke)...she's rushed up to the major to pitch. Now this babe's got a blazing fastball, but that's about it. When she hits the "bigs" she makes a big splash cause few can hit that fastball and the hometown fans just love her. The opposition sees how one-dimensional her game is and how easy she makes "rookie mistakes". The first time around the "league"...the convention...she was unhitable...but the second time around...the Debate, she got her head handed to her. She has no curve ball or change-up...but that doesn't mean she won't develop one.

I think the word "Grifter" works for Caribou Barbie more than anything else. Give her an inch and she'll take the Saks' credit card. But her con has won her a lot of wingnut hearts. She's played them like a violin and is definitely setting herself up for the future.

Remember, Gramps claims he's only going to serve one term...and if they were to win :scared: she would be the front-runner in 2012 anyway.

[Kazak]

39. Oh, I'm going to "understand the stark contrast between the two tickets" alright!

:shrug:

[Vickers]

40. "the wisdom of ... of the people will be revealed on that day"

You bet your ass it will.

41. Did you hear about her baseball screwup in Erie?
