Now a conspiracy about monkeys and fish
Palin says she doesn’t believe in evolution

First, a conspiracy about dollar coins. Now a conspiracy about monkeys and fish.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) vice presidential running mate, signals in her new book Going Rogue that she doesn't believe in evolution, panning it as theory that human beings "originated from fish that sprouted legs and crawled out of the sea."

According to a review published Sunday in The New York Times, Palin knocks evolution in her new book.

"Elsewhere in this volume, she talks about creationism, saying she 'didn’t believe in the theory that human beings — thinking, loving beings — originated from fish that sprouted legs and crawled out of the sea' or from 'monkeys who eventually swung down from the trees.' In everything that happens to her, from meeting Todd to her selection by Mr. McCain for the Republican ticket, she sees the hand of God: 'My life is in His hands. I encourage readers to do what I did many years ago, invite Him in to take over.'”

So, Sarah, it was god's hands that caused the loss for you and McGramps?

Just curious....:evilgrin:

5. Considering the fact that she and her fellow travelers have not evolved,
I think she may be onto something there, at least from a personal viewpoint. :evilgrin:

9. Yah, well it seems like her deity doesn't like her all that much.
She would have won if it did, right? You betcha. Maybe she needs a more powerful deity on her side.

Either that, or she should listen more and talk less. Then she might hear her deity saying, "Look, moron, evolution is how I did it. You don't think I designed a fucking platypus personally, do you?"

13. "He" took over?
If God is at the wheel of Sarah Palin's life, he's definitely driving under the influence.

14. Such narcissism. If God really cared for us, he wouldn't have thrust Sarah Palin on us.
