Sarah Palin on Leno March 2, 2010

[Machado]

The only reason I tuned in was to see if Palin has changed any.

She is still a moron.

Everything out of her mouth is "pre-programmed".

Before I get ahead of myself, I have to say that Leno is a pussy w/no balls. Not that I'm the 1st person to ever say this about him.
Leno tossed up "softball" questions to her and refused to ask follow-up questions that had a touch of difficulty. Shame on him!

Once again last night Palin proved she was "never" qualified to be the Vice-President of our country.
No matter how long she appears on Fox News or no matter how many late night talk shows she visits, she will never be qualified for a high ranking job in the White House.

Don't even get me started on her "comedy debut".
Leno again showed he has no sack by allowing Palin to become a stand-up comedian and not answer any difficult questions.

As for "the tea-party" revolution, uprising, etc....

Fidel Castro was a very well educated man that led a revolution in Cuba.

Palin majored in Journalism in College. She aspired to be a sports broadcaster and a dream of her's was to broadcast sports with Howard Cosell.

I rest my case!!

[fatbass]

I didn't watch. Because, fuck that show.

But I think her intellect and her integrity are superior to that of Joe Biden.

We supposedly have a very intelligent President right now. His intelligence doesn't seem to be helping much.

[Luminiferous]

I read her monologue online...

Was that a rejected opening that Leno didn't want to do?

If she wants a career in comedy she needs to find a different writer..

[FullDJacket]

When are influential republicans going to stop supporting that retard? Limbaugh is all behind her too.

Intellect, I'd put them about the same. Integrity: well, did old Joe ever quit his job that he was elected to do?

[fatbass]

Integrity: well, did old Joe ever quit his job that he was elected to do?

No.

But I do think it's odd that the fact that she stepped down only bothers the people that think she shouldn't be in office anyway.

It doesn't bother me...I find it amusing. There's a difference.

I totally see the logic of her stepping down, both for her own good and that of the state. She would have spent the rest of her term fighting the state legislature that had decided to come after her. That would have wasted huge amounts of state resources and tarnished her term much worse than quitting while she was ahead.

And for the financial opportunities it opened for her, it was the smartest move she ever made. She cut her political losses and gained the abiity to pay her legal bills and become financially secure.

I'm not really a Palin supporter per se, but she took the best way out of that situation, for her and for Alaska. If anyone thinks it'd have been better for Alaska for her to serve out her term, I'd like to hear the reaasoning behind that opinion.

Hmmmm..maybe, but imagine if she managed to get elected as POTUS and the shit hit the fan..would she resign from that, too..for the good of the union? Or because she got a rocking deal for a book or a lucrative TV show?

Would it have been good for Alaska? Maybe, maybe not...though if her reason for resigning was to avoid political fallout for the state, why does she think it would be any different as POTUS. She certainly had more support in AK than she does in the whole country. She'd be a huge lightening rod for all kinds of problems.

the dunce is not qualified to have a position in the white house.
plain n simple!

it does not get any clearer than that.

Of course it was "logical" for her to quit (in that she doesn't like working and like making money), and of course Alaska is better off without having that moronic twat as its leader.

But it reflects very poorly on her as "leader." Politicians just as average as her have weathered far worse storms in office...hers was a fucking light drizzle (OMG! The Alaskans are after me!!!) and she bailed at the first opportunity.

People don't want a President who can't handle adversity. She's done politically...she'll spend all of her time answering why she quit. Her explanation back then (I'm a leader, and a real leader knows when to quit!) isn't gonna sound any better when she's running for leader of the free world.

I'm pretty sure he couldn't get work anywhere but Washington. I can't imagine anyone hiring him to even night manage a Wendy's. I look in his vacant eyes and I can see the cartoon cows singing in his head like on the Simpsons.

I don't disagree with any of this (with exception of the moronic twat thing - I really don't think she's as stupid as everyone says). If she has any intention of running, unless the Dems fuck up royally, only her core supporters will vote for her.

Different scenarios; she avoided a long and bloody battle as governor with the legislature. That would've hurt the state, and hurt her chances at higher office, leading right up to the next election.

Instead, she spared the state, spared herself, freed herself to make a fortune, and instead spend the next couple of years reinventing herself, increasing her profile in the Lower 48 and establiching herself as the darling of American conservatives.

She's not stupid, at all. Maybe ignorant of the way people in the continental US think, but ignorance is not stupidity.

Now if she were elected POTUS, what higher office might she endanger her chances for, by getting into a tight spot with Congress or a foreign policy crisis? None, POTUS is top of the world's foodchain. Governor of al;aska was well worth giving up, POTUS would be worth hanging onto, and I think she would.

Now she might not run in 2012, might never run for all we know, but she could still make herself a political force for conservatism by doing what she is doing for the next 20 years. At the least she will make her family wealthy as hell by having dumped the governorship while her profile was still high. Nothing at all stupid about that move.

It will probably be a Mitt Romney/Tim Pawlenty ticket in 2012.

And yet, he's a bad heatbeat away from being president. That really has to piss you republicans off, doesn't it? The democrat Dan Quayle.

My state's a fucking mess waiting to happen and we all see it coming...one douche(Delahunt) ends his 12 years as a shitty Mass rep and somehow it has to do with the new douche who was nowhere near good enough to replace Ted. Douche in, Douche out, the MassiveTwoShits goes on.

Sarah Palin: God wrote on his hand too

At an Ohio Right to Life fundraiser Friday night, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin once again defended the notes she wrote on her hand during last month's Tea Party Convention. She said she didn't have a good answer to media criticism at the time, but now she has one: God did it too.

A supporter sent her the biblical passage Isaiah 49:16: "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."

"If what was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us," Palin said. "In that passage he says, I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you. And I'm like okay, I'm in good company."

Was that the same hand she wipes her ass with? Wonder what the bible has to say about that.

"In case some one of your brothers becomes poor among you in one of your cities, in your land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not harden your heart or be closefisted toward your poor brother. For you should generously open your hand to him and by all means lend him on pledge as much as he needs, which he is in want of... You should by all means give to him, and your heart should not be stingy in your giving to him, because on this account Jehovah your God will bless you in every deed of yours and in every undertaking of yours. For someone poor will never cease to be in the midst of the land. That is why I am commanding you, saying, 'You should generously open up your hand to your afflicted and poor brother in your land." (Deut 15:7-11).

"My brothers, what use is it for a man to say he has faith when he does nothing to show it? Can that faith save him? Suppose a brother or a sister is in rags with not enough food for the day, and one of you says, 'Good luck to you, keep yourselves warm, and have plenty to eat', but does nothing to supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So with faith; if it does not lead to action, it is in itself a lifeless thing." (James 2:14-17).

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'

And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
(Matthew 25.35-40 ESV)

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. {16} And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men. {17} "Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" {18} But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? {19} "Show Me the tax money." So they brought Him a denarius. {20} And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" {21} They said to Him, "Caesar's." And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." {22} When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way. (Matthew 22:15-22 NKJV)

Why they love this hippie liberal is beyond me. They want a country based on His values and bitch at the very idea of spending a dime helping the poor and sick.

I love you guys that thumb your nose at the Bible when it teaches these very ideals you claim to care about so much.

I seem to remember a study that showed Republicans giving more to charity than Democrats. But whatever. Pay your taxes and believe everyone is being taken care of.

[chickenona]

As usual even a lightweight topic here degenerates into senseless bickering about "which side" is better - but even more absurd than usual, attempting to QUANTIFY GOD. Good luck with that.

On the topic of Palin - It can be argued, convincingly, that she's not stupid. She wouldn't have made it as far as she has if she was stupid.

What can't be disputed is that she is certainly the most INARTICULATE politician ever to reach the nation arena. Her intelligence, hell usually her POINT, get completely lost in her inability to express herself.

[tin00can]

As far as not knowing about religion and thumbing my nose at it, read "Everything You Know About God Is Wrong." If the bible is the basis of christianity, then christianity is severely flawed.
