Not sure if this qualifies for Sunday Funnies/Sunday Horror Show:
Clear your head of all pre-conceptions about Ms Sarah Palin, former Vice Presidential candidate for the Republicans, to get your head about this: she is so keen on war against Iran that she is handing out this advice to ensure the re-election of the man who defeated her in the 2008 campaign and who still, as far as I know, is the leader of the opposing party.
On Wednesday, days after her resignation as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin talked to NBC’s Andrea Mitchell about her career. For the ex-governor, “the Obama Administration’s power is growing and this is the last thing America needs.” When asked about the possiblity for her to become the next US president in 2012 election, she said: “I do not know what the future holds… I am a fighter and thrive on challenge.”
So merely a pause in the political rise of Sarah Palin? Well, she also left the door open for a television talk show to “reach more people”: “I dont know what the future holds.”
Straight up. Two freshmen at Dartmouth College, “Serious C” and “Stiltz”, having grown up on the mean streets, have styled themselves as “The Young Cons”. They take on the authority of the man (especially the man seeking same-sex marriage) with lines like “Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally”, “EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily”, and “Superman that socialism and waterboard that terrorism.”
Just think of this as the love-child of Vanilla Ice and Sarah Palin.
(Powerline, which salutes the “wit and learning in equal parts” of this duo, are asking for additional lines for the rap. Enduring America has made its initial contribution, and we invite readers to join us in this political-musical quest.)
We’ve been letting the Republican Party get on with its internal squabbling, but this latest scrap was too good to go unmentioned.
2008 GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney got a bit lippy about Sarah Palin’s recent appearance on Time magazine’s list of most influential people: “”Was that the issue on the most beautiful people or the most influential people?”
Devoted Palinists, rather than taking the “most beautiful” compliment, hit back with this video:
Respect is due. The video is a throwback to Ronald Reagan’s mega-successful 1984 campaign video where he took down the Soviet Bear (apparently there was a Cold War going on): Read the rest of this entry »
Who says there is nothing good in a pandemic? Spurred by the growing crisis, former Vice Presidential candidate, Alaskan Governor, and Tina Fey-lookalike Sarah Palin has joined Twitter to get the latest news to her adoring constituents.
Here is tonight’s Palinism: “We still have no reported cases of swine flu.”
Thank you, Sarah.
More dramatic Gubernatorial Hockey Mom tweets tomorrow…
A press release from our favourite Alaska Governor, Hockey Mom, and failed Vice-Presidential candidate:
I am deeply concerned with North Korea’s development and testing program which has clear potential of impacting Alaska, a sovereign state of the United States, with a potentially nuclear armed warhead. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is that we continue to develop and perfect the global missile defense network. Alaska’s strategic location and the system in place here have proven invaluable in defending the nation.
Palin was deterred in no way from her brave statement by the fact that North Korea’s launch was a failure and that the satellite under development was a threat to the placid water of the Pacific Ocean rather than Wasilla or Anchorage or even Juneau. This may be due to her astute financial as well as scientific calculations:
Governor Palin stressed the importance of Fort Greely and the need for continued funding for the Missile Defense Agency. The governor is firmly against U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ proposed $1.4 billion reduction of the Missile Defense Agency….Governor Palin also requested stimulus funding for the Kodiak Launch Complex. The Kodiak Launch Complex is a commercial rocket launch facility for sub-orbital and orbital space launch vehicles owned and operated by the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation, a public corporation of the State of Alaska.
Remember, when the other guy pushes for backyard spending, it’s “pork”. When Sister Sarah does it, it is “to defend the critical assets of the United States and our allies in the Pacific Theater”.
