[bbinacan]

6. Looks like

a pretty decent sized crowd.

[malaise]

4. Poor Candy - she's mourning with that super ugly

necklace.

[Catshrink]

5. They couldn't even remember the word "maverick"

how mavericky of them.

[Contrary1]

7. That "super ugly necklace" doubles as a handy life preserver...

for when the pile of bullshit she spews reaches her neck.

[Contrary1]

9. Tawd's not singing the National Anthem!

Traitor, he is.

[malaise]

11. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[bkkyosemite]

14. you betcha I got that fishing hook caught in my hair..dog gone it.

[Catshrink]

15. Is anyone braving FOX for this?

Sorry.... can't do it. I'm sure they're salivating over this, and more.

[spanone]

18. gawd, this is bad enough, i can't imagine faux, they probably have her levitating above the podium

[XemaSab]

79. That shrew Malkin is the commentator on faux

:puke:

[johnfunk]

102. Shrew and bigot Michelle Maglalang

Guess they couldn't get Ann Coulter.

[graywarrior]

16. I'm watching The Hulk on HBO

He is more real than she is.

[Catshrink]

17. True. Hulk doesn't wear extensions.

[spanone]

20. i always liked that in the hulk

[spanone]

21. here she is and damn she's perky

[graywarrior]

22. Plus his IQ is higher

[Catshrink]

23. Works the military in first...doncha know.

[merh]

24. Up here

up here ... up here ... up here ...

[peacetalksforall]

25. They are playing the National Anthem at her resignation speech? Yikes. Her

ego stretches all the way to Moscow.

[spanone]

26. she talks like a kindergarten teacher

ya know sarah alaska is just another fucking state no better no worse than any other.....

[Catshrink]

27. Is this a geography lesson?

Military again.....

[Contrary1]

28. Less than two minutes in...

and already I am thinking :wtf:

[Catshrink]

29. Looks like she wrote it herself...

so she hasn't taken advice from the Repug pros. Keep that up, Sarah! Keep making an ass of yourself -- it's fun to watch.

[spanone]

31. she's telling the media how to do their job

[spanone]

33. what is the media making up?

[Catshrink]

35. So when they print the truth they're making shit up?

Leave the kids alone after she paraded them all over the fucking country?

[malaise]

43. More incoherent babble

projecting against everything she has done wrong - a complete inversion of reality. She's batshit crazy.

[Ilsa]

71. "Leave the children alone!" I bet the new gov. knows better than to use his

children for political props.

[merh]

32. LOL, she is calling out the press on making things up

They made her up.

[tridim]

Hear that Faux?

[bridgit]

34. Geawd she's talking too; this Palin chick has lost her mind

[ronnykmarshall]

36. You won't have me to kick around no more, doncha know!

[spanone]

37. who is the we that she's speaking for?

[JohnnyLib2]

39. I think it's Tina Fey!

Or maybe SP with some speed?

[Catshrink]

40. Is anyone still watching? I'm about to turn it off.

I've had enough. She's the one making shit up.

[Contrary1]

50. I'm outta there...

The idea that anyone can follow this train wreck of a speech, let alone applaud leaves me speechless.

[Canuckistanian]

41. I loved Letterman's comments on Fridays's show

"Sarah Palin only has three more days..... unless she decides to leave early"
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Uzybone]

42. ig'nant beeyotch

[Catshrink]

46. Fundies love that us against them talk

[spanone]

44. hollywood, that damned hollywood....her train just left the tracks

[parasim]

[spanone]

47. she's done more in her short term than most governors EVER DO...SHE'S A FUCKING SAINT!!!

[bobburgster]

48. Time to give Sarah the hook.....

and I'm not talking fishing hook.

[miyazaki]

49. she mentioned patriots for the 2cd ammendment. rebels??

wtf? she crying for a call to arms?

[eleny]

51. Ever since she was a little kid she dreamed of natural gas?

Oh Sarah, that was just sleepin' too close to grandpa after a big ole bean pot supper.

[Catshrink]

52. LOL

[SalmonChantedEvening]

57. BWAAAA

Nice one eleny!! :rofl:

[Gregorian]

106. Hahaha!

Total genius.

[spanone]

53. somehow i get the feeling that i'm the enemy she's talking about????????

[malaise]

58. Are those protestors in the background

She's off to enjoy the ride. The North Star will guide her home. :rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

77. I heard those protestors, too.

Brave Alaskans. The REAL brave Alaskans.

[Booster]

54. Sounds like she got a job as lobbyist for the oil companies.

[spanone]

62. you could very well have hit the nail on the head ! why not, she's pretty & perky and cnn loves her

[madamesilverspurs]

55. securer = a noun?

[kentuck]

56. Boo hoo...

She's a victim again...

[Canuckistanian]

74. Not a victim - a martyr

Saint Palin is the emobodiment of suffering - didn't you get the Twitter memo?

[spanone]

60. this lady is unhinged

[Catshrink]

67. And I wish I could say gone...

but I think she'll go on and on and on..... She'll need a forum to spew from and my guess is Fox will have a special place for her. Maybe not her own program but maybe a special segment on another show.

Damn didn't she ramble! I just hope she keeps writing her own stuff so people can see what a ninnny she is. (My apologies to ninnies.)

[Blue_In_AK]

81. You don't realize just how much she rambles

until you read the transcripts. :rofl: They're completely unintelligible.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

61. Tawwwwwd couldn't even find a tie for the occasion.

Guess he's bein' all mavrikky.

[spanone]

64. renegades don't wear ties

[SalmonChantedEvening]

72. Or know how to tie them

[Ikonoklast]

86. Knots are hard.

Durrr.


Does anyone else think Tawd is dumber than a fence post? He strikes me as having a room temperature IQ for some reason.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

100. Both oars are out of the water on that boat.

[Ilsa]

63. That banner on Fox News is glaring so much that I can't watch it.

Thank goodness! And MSNBC is running a Matt Lauer special on Neverland.

[spanone]

66. i can see the neverland/palin connection

[Blue_In_AK]

65. Oh, my God, that was painful.

I have to think about this for a while before I really comment. There was so much wrong with that.

[livetohike]

73. I'm looking forward to your thoughts Blue

I couldn't watch it.

[Catshrink]

78. Me too... please start a new thread to share them.

[XemaSab]

94. I swear to God, for a woman who is ostensibly trying to make Alaska sound like an

extra-normal, extra-patriotic 50th state, she really makes the place sound like the most feral, frozen outpost of humanity on the whole planet.

Had I not been to Anchorage and seen with my own eyes that Anchorage is Fresno North, I would imagine a bunch of trappers huddled in a wooden shack (complete with snow coming through the cracks), drinking moonshine to keep away the cold.

[Blue_In_AK]

98. Fresno???!!!

Now, THAT'S cold... :spank:

[foginthemorn]

68. "LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE" --She says to the media (of the

in-coming Governor's family).


That was very good and I hope they take heed (including bloggers)

[Catshrink]

75. I'm sure the new governor won't use his kids as props

and parade them around.

[foginthemorn]

87. He had them up on stage just now. guess they are props according

to your "logic"

[Catshrink]

88. Don't tell me you're a Palin apologist?

[foginthemorn]

92. more of your silly "logic"? I am opposed to involving

a candidates or politicians kids --of any strip--into the smut. Simple as that.


bye for now.

[Catshrink]

93. Palin involved her kids...

[Maru Kitteh]

101. What's that smell?

[Ikonoklast]

105. Troll Poop.

Seems to be a lot of it around lately.

[RayOfHope]

107. Mmhmm. Check out its post from yesterday:

She was also the OP of the thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=6146745#6146762

[hatrack]

103. Bristol's pregnancy was announced in a press release - a PRESS RELEASE . . .

by the McCain campaign, because they couldn't hold the story that bloggers had already gotten their teeth into.

In Ron Reagan's words, "they were passing Trigg around on stage like a bong at Burning Man", and with the knocked-up status of the First Daughter of Great White North pushed well and truly and deliberately to the absolute white-hot center of the American political process, "life happens" was the quote of the week shouted from the rooftops of Minneapolis to show how holy and lifey those Gawd-fearin' Palins were.

So please, spare us the self-righteous mooing about how we shouldn't be "involving" this politican's kids in all of this horrid, sordid stuff. She had them well and truly involved from the get-go, and for her - or you - to "call us out" on her own cheap political tactics is an exercise in pathetic intellectual dishonesty.

[armyowalgreens]

89. I believe her of-age daughter brought that shit storm upon herself...

Let's not try to blame the media for that.

[uppityperson]

99. I thought she was talking to the incoming Gov since they shouldn't involve their kids

[johnfunk]

104. Okay, we'll leave the kids alone and focus on YOU: If YOU can't keep Levi from infiltrating...

... your daughter's panties, how can we believe you'll be able to prevent the ChiComs and our other enemies from infiltrating our military and economy?

(I used that line on my right-wing neighbor before the election. It was a Zen moment of cognitive dissonance, and i found out that he changed his vote from McCain to Ron Paul after thinking about what a lousy choice McCain made in Palin. I blame myself!)

[Warren DeMontague]

118. Yes, the media was off base for picking on Snap, Flipper, Cheetoh and Hazmat.

Or whatever their names were.

[madaboutharry]

69. This actually shows us all that John McCain does not

have the judgment to serve as President.

[doc03]

70. That Bitch is Gone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncXcZyw7fW8

[Ilsa]

76. Bwaaahahahaha! Fox thinks her self-written speech is wonderful! nt

[Catshrink]

82. Wow. I'm so surprised.

I never would have predicted that. :sarcasm:

[XemaSab]

90. The thing that was funny about the speech

is that there was a semi-coherent middle section. I bet she had some junior flunky whip up a list of her accomplishments as governor, and she just dropped in into a middle of rambling reminisces about moose hunting with her pops from a snow machine along the Dalton Highway in -30 degree weather, or whatever the hell she was on about.

[spanone]

96. color me surprised!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Ilsa]

80. The idiot on Fox is certain that the ethics charges are filed by people who are

afraid of Sarah Palin! "She can go after Barack Obama..."

[Catshrink]

85. Maybe she's going to take up the birfer cause.

Now that would be fun to watch. Sarah and Orly Taitz on a panel -- a new Looney Toons cast.

[Hawkeye-X]

83. Ok, here's my contribution

[Ilsa]

84. Funny. They have no interest in hearing the new governor's speech. nt

[kestrel91316]

91. Nope. I've got something far more important to do: go pick my nose.

[jhain]

95. Happy to participate!

My Sarah Mascot was a huge hit at the County Dem headquarters last Fall. She's stuffed away in the attic now as a talisman! I hope this is the last time I post these!:

[spanone]

116. priceless

[spanone]

97. when palin talks about the 'bad guys' she's talking about people who disagree with her...dangerous

[johnfunk]

108. She can't conceal her black-and-white worldview

You're either "with" her or "against" her -- and I for one am proud to be the kind of person she'd perceive as an enemy.

[Catshrink]

110. We saw how dangerous this was with W

and all the Axis of Evil crap. This is why politics in America is so divisive -- the us against them mentality nurtured and promoted by the extremists.

[Sabriel]

109. Was the turkey-killin' guy there?

It's only right that he and his machine put in an appearance.

[Kablooie]

111. Now she will have plenty of time to ramp up her next presidential run! Whoopee!

[eppur_se_muova]

112. Anyone got pix of the *protestors* in the crowd? They seemed fairly numerous.

I loved the "Proud to be / Palin Free" sign. :D

[Blue_In_AK]

114. DUer NorthOfDenali was probably there.

Maybe she's got some pictures.

[eppur_se_muova]

115. Top 10 Conservative Idiots has that sign! nt

:thumbsup:

[LeftishBrit]

113. Good riddance to bad rubbish

So glad she never ended up a heartbeat away from the presidency!

[KamaAina]

117. Where's her flag pin????

Why does she hate America so much? :shrug:
