why is this funny?
Because, she was from Alaska, right? So just look at a globe and see where Russia is in respect to her home state. That’s why it’s funny.
Because in the SNL season opening skit Sarah Palin (played beautifully by the awesome Tine Fey) excitedly exclaims as proof of executive experience “And I can see Russia from my house!”
And I don’t care which political party you follow, and whose beliefs you stand for, and for which candidate you’ll be voting… it’s f*****g hilarious and you know it.
oh my – well before tina fey said it … sarah palin said it! although i do see how one could get the two women confused. it’s freaky how much they look alike.
And yet before Palin said it, McCain did when he was questioned about his choice’s experience. She just picked it up like a good little running mate.
? Wasn’t Tina Fey “playing” Sarah Palin? No confusion here.
It’s supposed to imply that Palin’s foreign affairs experience is limited to the ability to see Russia from her home or something.
It’s making fun of the fact that Palin herself claimed being close to Russia gave her foreign affairs experience. No implying anything, Palin gave a monumentally stupid, beauty-pageant answer to questions about her experience, and this LOL is calling her on it.
I’m waiting for her to say that Americans can’t locate the US on a map because they don’t have a map and therefore we should help South Africa and Iraq so we can build up our future for our children.
Is Spain in South Africa? Oh, no wait, silly me, it’s in South America! Europe? Yer what now?
Wow. That’s the first time I’ve heard that put together in a format wherein it made sense. Thanks for that. *dumbfounded*
That’s *the* Iraq.
Hysterical! My local radio station plays the blonde bimbo comments almost daily. Yup, we US Americans sure don’t have much to represent us, do we? At least, that’s what I personally believe.
It’s pretty much like saying you live down the street from from a bank so therefore I am a financial expert.
Good thing she doesn’t live down the street from a whorehouse!
That I would actually pay to see.
Well, Wasilla is the Crystal Meth capital of Alaska, what does that make her?
Chicago’s known for street gangs- what’s that make Obama?
Obama wasn’t the mayor of Chicago.
Community organizer, that’s just as good, right?
Depends if he kept his colours and can do the Windy City version of crip walk…
Just to comment on one part of your post, heebyjeeby…
I do not agree with Palin on the aerial hunting. It seems akin to shooting baby deer in my book. However, I was discussing it with my boss yesterday and he did bring up a good point. If you are a good enough shot to hit a moving target from a moving target, then more power to you! It’s a heck of a lot harder to hit a wolf running full out on the tundra than it is to hit a deer from the confines of a stationary stand.
As far as her other stands on the issues, she’s too much of a Reagan Republican for me NOT to like. Just because she and I (and McCain and I) don’t see eye to eye on every single issue doesn’t mean I won’t vote for them. I disagree with Obama and Biden on pretty much everything (with a few exceptions), so it stands to reason I won’t be voting for them. Personal lives and friendships aside, on the issues, I will be voting Republican.
What’s wrong with shooting baby deer – YUM!
Same thing as baby humans.
Interesting how someone who blathers on about being “pro-life” is so big on hunting …
It shows a commitment to service, something Republicans don’t seem to be able to grasp. But as usual you are changing the topic when it suits you – the issue is responsibility. As mayor she could have changed things in Wasilla, but chose to focus on pulling in the pork instead of dealing with the meth problem. Obama, not being the mayor of Chicago, did not flunk any similar test of responsibility.
So his experience as a community organizer is actually worthless then?
As I said, commitment to service or the public good is something Republicans just don’t comprehend. Thanks for proving my point so admirably.
I guess I must need another coffee because your incomprehensible labeling of Republicans is starting to rub me the wrong way.
I am confused too…
You seem easily confused. Being a community organizer is a grass-roots way to give some voice to the average joe and to get things accomplished at a local level. It comes with responsibility but little or no power. Republicans have been belittling Obama for having mentioned doing something that was a public service with no power and little reward, so it seems to me that either they don’t understand the concept, or it’s simply an attempt to turn something good into some kind of a smear.
Sarah Palin had power, and all she did with it was persecute people who offended her and manufacture a reputation as a ‘maverick’ by gouging even more money out of the oil companies – which frankly I would have considered a worthwhile goal if it were for any other purpose than to line the pockets of the citizens of America’s foremost welfare state, Alaska. Sadly, that was her primary goal – just a different kind of pork.
Tell me one accomplishment Obama made as a community organizer, an actual concrete thing he did? What, did he walk little old ladies across the street, clean up litter? What?
As a community organizer, Obama set up a tutoring program, a job training program, and a tenant’s rights organization in a housing project. This information was easily available, but finding out the facts isn’t a priority for you, is it?
The bottom line is that all of the candidates are short on experience – and yes, including McCain (being a former prisoner of war with a wealthy wife is no more a qualification than being able to see Russia). However, while Obama has succeeded more than he has failed at the challenges in the various positions he has held, Palin’s record is unblemished failure at accomplishing anything worthwhile, except lining the pockets of the people in Alaska.
Please, John McCain has been a US Senator since 1987. You have a strong opinion and you are biased against Palin because of who she is as a person (you mentioned the beauty pagent thing earlier, young girls change as they grow you know…), you just don’t like her. It wouldn’t matter what she had accomplished in the past because it would never count to you for much, that is apparrent.
Nice try, but no, it’s ALL about the issues. The beauty-pageant thing is was only to defend my calling her an airhead, but it’s interesting how you fixated on that, and ignored all the other things I mentioned, and I mentioned plenty.
Sarah Palin is all about the perks, the power, and the pork – she has accomplished nothing outside of those. Her track record on the environment is abysmal. Her grasp of the idea of separation of church and state is minimal, and her support even less, if it exists at all. She made rape victims pay for their own forensic kits, and she’s against a woman’s right to choose. She’s the focus of an investigation and pulling every string in sight to stall it and cover up, because she’s dirty and she knows it. I could go on, but I think that’s enough to prove my point. She’s a small-minded, small-town hick who couldn’t have gotten elected as governor anywhere outside of a backwoods red state.
You have to believe it’s personal because the truth is too unpleasant. Nope, check out all the other things I called her on – the beauty pageant bit is the least of my problems with her. If she agreed with me on the issues, it wouldn’t matter a bit. I’ve voted for worse for the right reasons before.
Same old lies… “She’s a small-minded, small-town hick who couldn’t have gotten elected as governor anywhere outside of a backwoods red state. ” All about the issues hey?
That was just my summary – I made plenty of factual points, but I notice that you don’t respond to any of them. Do facts scare you, or just inconvience your beliefs?
No you made NO factual points, everything you said was either a lie, or your own opinion. Please do some research. For example, Palin did NOT make any woman pay for a rape kit that is an out and out lie. The Chief of Police in Wasilla had a policy of asking the INSURANCE company to pay for the kit, they do the same in many other states like Missouri and North Carolina. So don’t try to blame that on Palin. I challenge you to find a single woman that has been charged for a rape kit in Wasilla.
What I meant to say was I challenge you to find a single woman that has paid for a rape kit in Wasilla.
Oh, I see – anything bad said about Palin is an automatic lie, despite all evidence to the contrary (hands over ears, la la la la). Sorry, dude, you are being a Republican weasel. It happened on her watch, it’s her responsibility. For the record, it is illegal to charge an insurance company for anything the patient isn’t responsible for, so yes, the victims were charged, or else the state committed fraud. I also noticed you had to backtrack and change ‘charged’ to ‘paid for’ – if none of them actually had to pay, it wasn’t Palin’s fault.
Let’s look more in depth at the first thing I mentioned, her record on the environment. Here’s one of her better documented lies: she filed a suit to prevent polar bears being listed as threatened, saying that this was based on a comprehensive scientific review. She was asked to release the study, and she refused. The document was later released, and showed clearly that the scientists agreed completely with the government, that the bears were in trouble and may be completely extinct within this century. In short, she lied to protect oil development.
There was a clean water initiative on the ballot last August, which she aggressively opposed, preferring that mining companies be allowed to dump waste into salmon stream unhindered. She has never met a mining proposal she didn’t love, including the Pebble mine which she supported, and the plan for which endangers the world’s largest sockeye salmon run
Under her watch, there is little to no effective regulation and oversight of oil facilities. She supports drilling in all of Alaska’s most sensitive areas, including the ANWR, solely to increase the state’s revenue. Greed, pure and simple.
She gave Exxon a pass on paying the fines for the Exxon Valdez spill by just letting it slide, while the company continues to profit hugely in Alaska.
Basically, while the people of her own state have asked repeatedly for better environmental protection, she has ignored their wishes and done as she pleases.
How about this little gem? Here’s her idea of wildlife management: she expanded the program to shoot wolves from helicopters, not because they are overpopulated or killing livestock, but so that their natural prey can overpopulate and make it easier for sport hunters.
Her idea of what’s good for the environment is what’s good for oil companies, mining companies, hunters, and assorted special interests.
Like I said – perks, power, and pork. And I have noticed that you have not managed to put forth one single good thing, just one, that she has ever done. Not even one….
Ya know ema, even though I love you very much, when I read this little 1 2 between you and HeebyJeeby, I must say that you ignore his actual points an awfull lot.
But I might add, HeebyJeeby, it would be nice if you would also post the sources of your (factual or not) information
D’oh – Heeby can’t post any sources because most of what he/she says is opinion. That’s basically why I ignore most of it.
Heeby – I am still waiting for the list of women that have paid for a rape kit in Wasilla? Find anything yet? If this was such a travesty then why is not the whole country up in arms over the rape kit charge which is practised in other states (like I said before Missouri and North Carolina)? Where is the outrage? This is more of a left wing witch hunt than anything. Lets see your sources on the other enviroment issues because I have read just the opposite. It seems pretty unlikely she would do anything to damage the commercial fishing industry since she and her husband ran a commercial fishing company before she went into politics. She is pro-business and pro-profit and I see nothing wrong with that and neither do the people of Alaska who are getting a $1200 rebate this year which will help with high heating costs.
Wasilla was the only town in Alaska to bill victims for rape kits. Palin was maor at the time. True or false?
@ema:
How can you say it’s “all opinion” if you haven’t given him the chance to give his sources? You seem to close yourself off from what he says about Palin very fast, is that just because he says things you don’t like?
But about that pro-profit. That’s 1 thing, it’s worse when “pro-profit” would mean “profit above everything else”. Ofcourse I don’t know for sure if that’s the case, but the only thing I want to say is that you have to look very skeptical to titles like that. They often portrait things better then they actually are.
D’oh – it’s because he/she says things like this: “She’s a small-minded, small-town hick who couldn’t have gotten elected as governor anywhere outside of a backwoods red state. ” That causes me to close my mind off to anything else he/she may have to say. I may say similar things from time to time about Obama but I try not to and when called on it I will try to do better. Heeby won’t even admit to a tiny amount of slant.
Toast – It’s not a given that Wasilla was the only town in Alaska to follow this policy (which was in place before Palin was elected so she obviously did not sponsor it or create it) and it is not a given she was aware of it. Here is a direct quote from her campaign spokeswoman Maria Comella : ‘”[Palin] does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test,” Comella said. “Gov. Palin’s position could not be more clear. To suggest otherwise is a deliberate misrepresentation of her commitment to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice.”‘ So, likewise for Obama, we can believe her at her word, or not.
So just because he sad that you ignore every other point he makes? Really, why don’t you just ignore that stuff and not ignore the rest? Looks like cherry-picking to me. I won’t ignore your actual points if your post would have a similair sentence, imo that would be pretty weak for me to do.
Ema.
Here is your first hand account right here:

Maybe Ill try to find more later. Im at work right now.
@_@ ema…you lose. Everything that HeebyJeeby cited is true and accurate. I haven’t had a look at Kennyboy’s links, but everything that Heeby’s posted I’ve read in news reports over the last couple of weeks or so. I’m not sure if it’s been readily reported by the media but Associated Press has a lot of articles RE: Palin’s environmental stances, controversies, etc.
Wendy – haha that’s a matter of opinion – most of the things you have read and what was last posted here are left-wing blogs with opinion pieces and not actual fact. I never defended her environmental stance so if something is on the AP about that, that is fine and it’s a valid thing to look at about her, I mainly object to the stupid rumors like she wanted to make rape victims responsible for rape kit charges or she is for abstinence only sexed, or she wants to take away all birth control even from married people, or she was not pregnant, or she wanted to ban books – all those are stupid rumors spread by hate filled nasty left-wing blogs and have been debunked.
You mixed up your pronouns.
No, I think that it is a case of mixed pro-fessionals. Of course, there isn’t much difference between a politician and a whore, well…
The moral fortitude of the whore is such she didn’t go into politics… so there’s a world of difference
A whore has the moral backbone not to go into politics
Glory!
Most politicians lack both the agility and the fashion sense to be whores.
That’s twice that I tried to post a response and it was eaten.
It’s worse when you see that happen with posts as large as 5000 letters, wich happend to me a couple of times on forums
Hence is why I copy/paste my comments in Open Office before I post.
because Russia is in the picture! Russia. when she was asked about foriegn policy – that’s what she said. that she can see russia from her house. that’s foriegn policy for Palin. Besides, I thought she had 5 kids. where’s the other ones?
Older Son was probably training in the Army…and is presently in Iraq.
Youngest son in not yet born in this picture, he is now 4 months old.
It’s kind of mildly humorous, but not in a laugh out loud sense.
I chuckled to myself. This is front page worthy.
She’s in danger of pirates. Especially today. ARRRRRRRRRRRR!
Indeed, me hearty! ARRRRRR-A-AARRRRRRRRRGHRRRRRGHRRRR!
It got a chortle out of me.
Me, too. I thought it was pretty damn funny, actually!
In Soviet Russia, the unplanned pregnancy has you.
Most appropriate Soviet Russian in a while ^_^ WIN
it would have been funnier if they all had titles and/or it was “missing from this picture: Russia”
No. I don’t think it would’ve.
well thankfully what you think doesn’t matter. please go back to eating your bucket of paste kthnxbai.
Where’s the Biden and Obama LOL”s ?
Oh yeah, this is Pundit kitchen.
Try stuckon-stupid.com.
They’ll be here as soon as someone on the right is funny or smart enough to come up with some that are good enough to get here. So, don’t hold your breath, because the right just isn’t funny and Republicans aren’t smart. The people who are funny and clever enough to think of the good jokes and captions are all on the left. So the bias you are perceiving is not real nor is it a manufactured bias of this website, it’s simply a natural consequence.
No, they just have to look on other less biased sites.
You have no regard for facts at all, do you? There is no editorial bias in the selection here – these go by votes and votes alone.
The right, it just ain’t funny….
Oh, the left is funny, I won’t disagree with you there!
You assume that the entire voting audience here at PK is not completely biased. I think you would get a better cross section of the entire internet audience if you went to other sites, at least if you were looking for humor from a different angle.
” Neo—There is no Bias!”
Only Zul
Are there funny right wing biased sites? I’ve never seen one.
Implement the “Fairness Doctrine” so that we are all forced to watch and listen to things that either aren’t funny or aren’t interesting just to make it fair!!!!!! hehe
Or, we could just let free speech take its course and allow those things which are funny, intelligent, and interesting to prosper, and things which are not funny, intelligent, or interesting to FAIL, no matter if they are left-wing biased or right-wing biased.
- equal opportunity free-speecher
I guess you could always make your own site and do that.
I could, and the free market and free speech would dictate whether I rose or fell. Not some looney in Washington who says that just because no one wants to read what I blog or watch what I post on Youtube, I should be forced down the throats of millions to make it fair.
I’m certainly not saying that I’m funny, nor am I trying to be. I’m just set in my ways. Thank you, though, for bolstering my point!
Bring on Capitalism! Down with Socialism! hehehe
I’m from Belgium, and I have the right to laugh with *all* Merkian politicians, with or without bias. The possibility that I am either a republican or a democrat, is about the same as the possibility that the earth will be destroyed by the Large Hardon Collider. (sic)
And all your budweiser beer are belong to us!
So… you’re on the right?
LOL!
You just LOLed at the equivalent of “I’m rubber, you’re glue.” Thus proving Heeby Jeeby’s assessment of the right wing’s capacity for humor.
So, what’s your point? I found TheLarkin’s reply to Heeby Jeeby funny. As for humor, you have none, so what qualifies you to be a comedian (sound familiar)?
Hey, I didn’t say everyone on the left was funny, just that no one on the right was. Case in point….
amen.
It’s not that Republicans aren’t funny, it’s just that we tend to try to stay away from the mean-spirited smacks-in-the-face that some liberals choose to employ. Personally, I think this picture is hilarious! And with Governor Palin’s sense of humor, I’m sure she probably does too!
Wow. That is complete balderdash.
Really? 90 % of these LOL’s are against Republicans. Try making out some LOL’s making fun of Obama and see if ANY make it on here.
There are two Obama LOLs on the same page as the above pic. However, I *will* take your excellent advice and try making out.
[smooch smoochy smooch smooch]
Woo hoo!
Republicans, stay away from mean-spirited smacks in the face? Ok – that was almost funny. Republicans love mean-spirited, it’s meat and drink to them – they just can’t make it amusing.
Are you really Jellybean ?
Feeding from the hate trough.
Thanks, ck, that’s the best description of Republicans I have seen in a long time.
My friend, spit out the kool-aid, it will kill ya! I can categorically tell you right now that I do not hate a single soul on the face of God’s green earth. I do disagree with people, and maybe sometimes a bit to vociferously. But as a registered Republican, I don’t hate you, ck, jellybeans, Seth or a whole host of other lefties. But I will tell you when I disagree. I don’t see how that equates to hate. Can you explain it to me?
And yet another reply eaten.. sheesh! Anyway, I really hate generalizations so maybe you can clarify why it is you think all Republicans hate? I know there are some Liberals here that despise what some Republicans say and abuse them accordingly. But is it fair to lump everyone in the category?
Sorry, you are quite right. Let me rephrase: Republicans who are currently running for office and all the people who are involved in the machinery to ensure their victory by manipulating the media and the electorate, those who support them out of something other than ignorance, and by far the preponderance of all who post on this blog – they all seem to be motivated in their public pronouncements by hate and the will to win at all odds and all costs, with no regard for truth. The word “trough” was a good one, too, as greed seems to be the other big key.
I’m not young, I remember another kind of Republican. They believed and practiced in fiscal conservancy and the separation of church and state. I quite liked those Republicans.
You mean Goldwater republicans?
For my personal preference, I would go back even further to a Teddy Roosevelt-style progressive Republican. Hell, I would even vote for one of those, if they weren’t extinct.
Amen! Give me Cicero or give me Ted!
That sounds like projection to me.
All the hate on this site is coming from Obama supporters. It’s the liberals who are feeding at the hate trough, then projecting their own behaviour onto others.
Amen, brother!
You spell behaviour like a non-American.
Here EP, have an extra helping of hatertots and a glass of hateraid.
I’ve seen your posts, Evil Pundit, and you are the biggest proponent and practicioner of hatred that posts on this site. For you to claim ‘projection’ is very nearly risible.
Nah- you are by far the front runner, …coming in ahead,…. LOOK OUT …It’s Heeby Jeeby- the winner by an ass! Take the Winners Circle please !
I’m a Republican and I don’t particularly like the mean spirited. However, I will repond in kind if I think something that is said is complete nonsense.
Funny because to the right of the comments is a drawing on a tshirt that kind of makes it look like the opposite is true. I’ve never seen anything as disgusting about Obama or Biden.
It’s called “projection”.
This is what happens when liberals falsely assign their own attributes to conservatives. They are projecting their hatred onto their opponents.
Kinda looks like it EP, especially when I look over to the right and see that hateful drawing is still there.
They keep that ad up just for you, I’m sure.
Those are called ‘ads’ if you are unfamiliar with the concept, and they are not part of this site. Third parties pay to have them put here, and the ads are a separate commercial entity and the space can be purchased by anyone with the money. For you to confuse them with the actual content of the site shows a regrettable lack of understanding of the basics of the internet.
The ads on humor sites are often objectionable, as those are, and if you prefer not to see them, get Firefox.
I wasn’t confusing them with actual content of the site, but it was undoubtedly created by someone with a liberal slant, you can’t deny that. I wouldn’t make anything like that about Obama, I actually like Obama he seems like a nice man and I respect him for running and putting himself and his family out there in the public eye.
Actually, I kinda can. Have you been to the website that the ad is for? They specialize in very crude humor, and there is very little there that is political. There are no other anti-McCain or anit-Palin shirts at all. From that, my deduction would be that there primary interest is in making money, and not political at all.
Seriously, get Firefox. You have much more control over offensive ads.
Now if you could somehow wriggle in there the bit about free market capitalism at work, and the complaints of certain people to stifle, regulate, or otherwise hinder the market… maybe a line or two about how if the shirt was unpopular, it’d be taken down as an ineffective sale?
But herb, you prove my entire point! Here is the original post in part: “Republicans love mean-spirited, it’s meat and drink to them -.” — Then I said that was not true, just look at the ad to the right, I mean it’s pretty mean spiritied. I didn’t say to take it down did I? — Now you are saying it must be popular since it is still up there!! That means people are buying it, and it ain’t Republicans buyin’ it! Let it stay there, glad the people are making money AND proving my point.
But, they will be taxed heavily if they are making over 200k if Obama gets in, hope they know that.
Then I’m in trouble….!
Is it reading comprehension issues or logic issues that is throwing you people? I didn’t say Republicans have a monopoly on mean-spirited, just that they embraced it. There are mean-spirited people on all sides of every issue, they are just far more visibly numerous in the McCain campaign.
I’ve posted that kind of remark other times here and it has been misinterpreted in the same way – you can call me on a generalization, that’s legitimate, but don’t falsely categorize what I say. Do you guys not understand that when someone says Republicans are mean-spirited (or anything else), it does NOT mean that ONLY Republicans are mean-spirited? And saying that the left is just as bad because of one t-shirt ad A) does NOT in any way invalidate or counter what I said and B) if fails to prove your point that the left is as bad – one single ad by a commercial company does not an argument make about the nature of the left. Take a basic logic or debate lesson, fellas, you need it.
And for you Republicans that don’t agree with my characterizations – take a long hard look at your party and its tactics. I’m right, and by all that’s weird, even Karl Rove agrees. You don’t like being seen that way? Take back your party. It’s high time.
Well, there are many tshirt ads on this page, all anti-Palin, but the point is not the number of ads, but that the tshirt mush be selling quite nicely for them because it is still there. It’s the people buying the tshirt who have a liberal slant and you cannot deny that. So, please go back and re-read the posts because you are the one who has failed to understand.
No, again you draw an unsubstantiated conclusion. The purpose of those ads is not to sell that particular t-shirt, but to get people to come to their website and look at all of their t-shirts. Even if they didn’t sell a single one of that particular shirt, it grabs the attention and gets people to their site to look. That’s marketing, not evidence.
And no, anyone who buys the shirt does not “have a liberal slant”. They may BE a liberal, or they might just like crude shirts, but ‘slanted’ applies to stories and new sources, not people. But you’re just spouting the party line like a good little right-wing automaton, so I suppose it was inevitable when you are talking about things you don’t quite understand that you would get the words wrong.
No, again, that tshirt was used for the ad on this particular website because it would draw people to that tshirt site to buy that tshirt, even though they may buy other tshirts when they get there. You know nothing of marketing obviously. There is no way they would put a tshirt up as an advert if it was not a big seller. Ads cost money you know. No conservative in their right mind would ever wear such a tshirt, maybe if it was Obama and Hillary, but I wager you would never see one like that anywhere. Also, I can say someone has a liberal “slant” all I want, pretty sure everyone understands my meaning, so please stop correcting my english to deflect away from your weak arguments.
I’ll split the difference, ema: about half the people that check out that shirt are liberals/have a liberal slant; the other half are people that like tasteless jokes These are the folks that would have a “Drill, baby, drill” T-shirt in the same drawer as one that reads “Slavery: it gets shit done”. Sardonic humor is apolitical.
Have you ever heard of shockvertising? And you say HeebyJeeby knows nothing about marketing?
I still say that it would attract a liberal audience more than a conservative audience and I as a conservative would tend not to buy anything they have to sell because that one is so offensive to me. They may get website hits from both sides. Even if it was created by a conservative, which I doubt, it is certainly directed towards liberal tshirt wearers.
Yes ofcourse it would, but they really don’t care about it. They just want to get there products sold, any of them, whereither they’re liberal or not.
I’d say it’s more to the point to say it attracts an audience that likes crude humor. On this site I am identified as a liberal because it is a political sites and that is where my ideas and beliefs lie. However, being liberal is only one part of many that makes me who I am. I don’t walk through life asking myself what would a liberal do. I live my life and make choices based on myself as a person and THEN when it comes to politics I say I believe in more liberal ideas than conservative ones. What I’m saying is that politics and our leanings do not necessarily permeate our entire lives. The only slant a business has is one that will enable them to make the most money possible. Sex and, in the current climate of our country, politics sells and because Palin is new and interesting I think it is completely fair to say the only slant on that shirt is to make money.
Oh please.
You can’t help but trip over ugly pictures of Obama as Osama, or with big fro wigs, bling, etc.
They’re everywhere on the net. You’ve seen them. Next.
No I haven’t ! Where are they ?
Ahahahahahahaa, that’s even funnier than this macro.
Wait… were you being serious? Wow. What color is the sky in your world?
There are two Obama captions on the *exact same page*! Hello?
Stop projecting your hate!
Won’t *somebody* please think of the children?!
Nothing is stopping you from making Obama/Biden lols OB1, go ahead. I found an Obama lol a while ago about his ears where he was standing between 2 big airplane engines (Making Obama’s ears look smaller, you’re doing it right, or something like that).) pretty funny. And the latest about Little Big Ear as well, the one where he is depicted as a Jedi as well. So there you go: Obama lols, happy now? If you feel like whining, go make some more, it’s an open site.
Good shit!
Hehe, a cleverlol
You DO know she never said that right? … Just checking. With all the rumors flying around you never know.
Also
“GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?
PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War.”
It was Gibson that asked about insight related to proximity – what was she supposed to say? Another trap by the “unbiased” media. It’s not any worse in my opinion than Obama saying “My muslim faith” in an interview, although look at the difference – Stephanopolous jumped to correct him immedidately – if that’s not biased I don’t know what it. I don’t know how any of these guys have any credibility anymore.
No, ema, it was Palin who brought up the proximity issue:
GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.
* * * [discussion of issue]
PALIN: * * *
And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.

from here: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/Story?id=5782924&page=2
Your candidate is an idiot and it’s not Gibson’s fault, nor that of any other “liberal media.” Nice try though.
I think you just made ema’s point there in the very first sentence, didn’t you? “GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.” <—–Isn’t this Gibson making a point that Alaska is CLOSE to Russia, they should discuss that? Gibson is leading her on that theme.
Here are some of the questions Gibson asked Obama:
———————————————————————
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to win?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?
—————————–
How does it feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel Mr. Obama? You are soooooooo great Mr. Obama. Pant, pant, pant. Where were the touchy feely questions for Palin? That man should be driven out of the industry.
So Because you have nothing to back up this argument, you change the subject? Glad to see you have so much confidence in your candidate.
I believe the point was the comparison in the interviews between Obama and Palin. Sounds like Obama got softball questions and Palin got more difficult one’s. Since I’ve seen neither interview, I can’t make a qualified judgement on either.
Maybe she got more difficult questions because the American public doesn’t know where she stands on half of the issues, where as Obama had already been campaigning for months before the interview.
Or maybe it’s because Charlie Gibson is biased? That would probably the more likely scenario, especially given there are a lot undecideds that aren’t sure who they will vote for.
Actually, Gibson’s questions to Obama sounded more like “Mmmph mm mmph mmppphhh mmm?” since he had his nose stuck in Obama’s rear end the whole time !!
Where can I find transcripts of both interviews?
Proctologist Weekly
Actually since there are “a lot undecideds” it would make sense, and be the more likely scenario, to ask Palin about the issues and not be biased. Why ask Obama questions when you know the answers are going to be lifted from the stump speech anyway?
Ok, fair enough. But, you know as well as I do that people will formulate opinions on what they hear, not what they read. Not everyone is going to want to take the time to wade through all of the opinions expressed on the internet.
And still no one knows where he stands on the issues
If you wanted to know, it’s clear that you have the internet and can navigate to LOLs, I would suspect you can navigate to his page. Just like hundreds of people have for both candidates. It’s really not that difficult to find information, you just have to be wiling to look for it.
They’re not interested, obviously.
I honestly can’t wait for the debates. Anyone can read a speech from a teleprompter. It takes an actual stance on issues and a deep-seated set of beliefs to be able to answer a question without stuttering over the answer, or going off on an unrelated rant if the teleprompter fails. If you don’t have to overthink the answer to make sure you’re either not contradicting yourself or making the American public mad, then you have a more concise and to the point answer.
Honestly, I’m speaking about both sides here. I truly want to hear Barak and Joe defend themselves, the same way I want John and Sarah to. If they get the exact same questions to answer, I believe we will get closer to the actual truth. Just make sure you ask McCain one, let Obama answer, then ask Obama the next question first to even out the debates and not allow the advantage of hearing the other person answer first every time.
Perhaps a more complete, side-by-side comparison of *all* the questions asked both candidates? I mean, I don’t remember hearing of Charlie and Barack walking tenderly through the garden.
Can you find transcripts of both for us to look at?
So then proximity IS a fair assessment for qualifications?? You are twisting the subject and redirecting it from the matter at hand. I think it’s a fair question.
Proximity does not make her experienced at foreign relations.
No no no no no. It is not a slip. The McCain camp repeatedly used the proximity line.
This has nothing to do with your strawman “liberal” media bs.
So why didn’t Obama say “My alleged Muslim faith”? It also doesn’t explain the immediate knee-jerk reaction of George Step. does it? Why didn’t he just let it stand if it wasn’t an obvious gaffe?
Have you listened to the actual interview? Because by what you are saying, it really sounds like you haven’t.
Quit parroting what is circulated on blogs. There is more to the story, go find it.
Yes I have listened to the entire interview. Happy?
No, it wasn’t Gibson- Palin herself brought up the proximity issue.
GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.
PALIN: Sure.
GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.
[discussion]
PALIN: * * * And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
Your candidate is a moron and it’s not Gibson’s fault. Nice try though.
let’s not compare obama and palin. and indeed obama has much more intelligent and in depth answers to these kinds of questions. check out the whole video of the interview with Palin. it’s ridiculous.
Obama’s own running mate criticized him for not being prepared or able to run the country, and just last week (I believe) said that he (Biden) was not the most qualified pick for VP. So I agree. Let’s not compare the Republican VP pick with the Democrat President pick, because you aren’t comparing apples to apples. Let’s compare McCain’s record of foreign policy, domestic policy, and crossing the aisle to work with an opposing party to Obama’s. Oh, wait, he doesn’t have a record any of those! He barely has a record of being there during Senate sessions! Saying “Um….um…..um…..” and “I…..I…….uh…..I’m………er…….um……well……” over and over during an interview without a teleprompter does not an intelligent answer make. It simply means that you can’t think on your feet.
Obama himself has admitted he is not qualified back in 2004, watch the video attached.
Stephanopolous’s correction would not have made sense in the actual context of the quote. He’s a dumbass. I know you are a McCain supporter, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t listen to anything that actually comes out of Obama’s mouth instead of what is picked up and run in the horse race.
My point was the press is handling him with kit gloves and they are on the attack for Palin. Not what Obama said, although it was really really strange sounding you have to admit that.
First, it’s “kid gloves”, as in the genteel gloves made from the tender leather of a baby goat.
Second, there are only two politicians in the last year that are getting ginger treatment from the press: Biden and McCain. Nobody’s putting Palin through the ringer yet — not to the degree of Obama (Wright, Pflager, Ayers, Rezco, et al) or god-forbid Hillary — but she’s getting more direct criticism than John “I was a POW so shut it” McCain.
Whoops!! kiD gloves!!
—————-
Come on herb, no one has ever ever ever grilled Obama on ANY of those things, not really.
The media didn’t see fit to grill him; that would require engaging him with the issues, when instead they could just hype the shit out of these issues and fan the flames of ratings– er, *controversy*. Yeah, that’s what I meant to say.
Nobody’s seriously grilled McCain about anything, period.
So you’re basically saying that from Alaska (any part thereof) you can’t see Russia? You might want to take a close look at the Bering Strait. Click on my name if you want further confirmation that Palin wasn’t exaggerating.
What does the actual geography have to do with anything. Sure you can see it in some parts of Alaska. i don’t think anyone is debating that. All anyone IS saying is that looking across the Bering Strait and looking at the landmass that is Russia, does not give anyone foreign policy experience.
And neither does a two week Rock star tour of Europe once make Obama an expert.
No, but being on the Senate Foreign Relations committee helps.
Actually, it’s on the Subcommittee on European Affairs (which is not THE Foreign Relations Committee), which has convened no policy hearings since he took over as its chairman last January. I see lot’s of experience there..
The problem with citing Obama’s committees as “experience”, is that he never turned up to any meetings.
Obama is the ultimate empty suit. There’s just nothing there at all.
You and Seth must be cut from the same cloth. You’re great at infering something that wasn’t said and extrapolating an entire argument from it. I was only replying to what you posted, which made it sound like you thought Palin was stretching it by saying you can see Russia from Alaska. You didn’t elaborate any futher then that, so I was only pointing out the flaw in your post. If you want to avoid further confusion, try expounding on your train of thought. And I will say this, you’re correct. Being able to see Russia does not make a person a foreign policy expert.
in bed.
LOL! Stop it!
That’s what she said… Then got a restraining order.
Close enough – she said you could see it from Alaska, and those were her exact words in the Gibson intervew. How is that any less air-headed than saying she could see it from her house? It’s still not a qualification.
yep, and Cindy McCain said that it’s really a qualification:
Apparently, Cindy has to ask the campaign to clarify what Cindy believes:
Why did Katie have to call the campaign to clarify this?
It matters little anyway. None of the candidate’s spouses are going to be holding office. This one just made me scratch my head.
Maybe she can ask Biden for help next time.
HeebyJeeby Says: “the right just isn’t funny and Republicans aren’t smart.”
.
And ema proves it.
And you obviously fail at geography and the basic search tools provided by Google.
You fail at reading comprehension, and/or basic logic skills. No one is saying you can’t see Russia from Alaska. Duh. We are saying that being able to see something does not make you an expert on it. We are saying, anyone who claims that being close to Russia gives you foreign policy experience is an IDIOT, unfit to teach grade school, let alone run or VP America. Alaska does not negotiate with Russia, okay? She’s either an idiot or a cynical manipulator for saying that, end of story.
Excuse me, but I was replying to exactly what was posted, ok? My god, pull the burr out of your butt for one minute and try reading something within context. HJ said, “Close enough – she said you could see it from Alaska, and those were her exact words in the Gibson intervew. How is that any less air-headed than saying she could see it from her house?” So your getting all over me for something that was said by someone else that was wrong. You never disappoint, Seth.
In what way, shape, or form was I wrong? You can see Russia from Little Diomede, and Sarah Palin is an unqualified airhead. So far I’m batting 1000…
Nah, maybe 220 in the Minors.
It sounded to me like you were implying that Russia can’t be seen from Alaska. If I misread what you were saying, I apologies. Maybe you could clarify your point more clearly next time.
So, innumeracy is also a problem? With 3 points on the table (Russia’s visibility, unqualified, airhead) batting 220 is not a possible mathematical outcome.
My point, which was adequately clear to anyone with minimal reading comprehension, is that it doesn’t matter whether Russia can be seen from her house or simply from her state, it’s not any kind of qualification. I can’t make it any plainer.
Oh, I concur, but neither does the proximity of Russia, either from the state or her house, qualify her as an air-head. As I said, if I misunderstood, please forgive.
You know what? Thanks! You clearly stated your point of view and I can appreciate better where you’re coming from. It’s probably a long road until we see eye to eye, but after that I do respect you and your opnions. And I would rather respect someone despite the differences rather then hold any amount of animosity towards them.
Some respect back at you, likewise! So tell me, are you the only
Republican here than can and will discuss ideas reasonably, or are the other just not chiming in on this thread? Because so far, you seem a minority here, but I do realize that one thread is not a valid sample, so I’m asking. And yes, I know Evil Pundit is a troll rejected even by his (theoretically) own side, so I’m not counting him.
It would unfair for me to take sides like that. I could state *my* opinion, but then that’s all it would be. My suggestion would be to engage some of the other Republicans and let the responses help you shape your own ideas. I will say this, I do try and stay openminded, but I can switch to troll mode in a heartbeat, especially if I haven’t had my morning coffee yet.
I have engaged with some of the others here. They spout the rightwing gospel like good little party droids and are reduced to frothing and insults with almost no prompting, and are incapable of sustaining any kind of rational discourse, from what I have seen.
I wasn’t actually asking you to take sides, by the way – I was looking for encouragement that there might be more than one of you, but I will take it from your reply that the answer to that is no. Sorry, it doesn’t appear to be worth my while to stick around for just one. Nice chatting with you while it lasted, though.
There are more then just one of me, the problem as I see it is we all have varying opinions on different issues. Some are like me where they wobble down the middle whereas others tend to be a little more right minded. On the other hand, there’s quite a few going down the left side that I might agree with from time to time as well. What I would say is unfair is that you have dismissed me and any value I might bring to a discussion you’re involved with. I would only ask that you re-evaluate that position and realize that that everyone who takes the time to respond to posts might add some value.
Why do you even spend time decided whereither your idea’s are on the left, the right or the middle. Isn’t the only thing that matters is that the solutions work for the problems, whereither the solutions are deemed liberal, conservative or whatever.
Because people have a tendancy to put labels on things. I was only trying to clarify my position based other peoples perception to give them an idea of where I stand.
sorry if multiple posts, PK eating them
They look like Riker, Troi, and some short crew members. Someone should Photoshop in a starfield with an arrow pointing to earth, because this lady is really way out there.
right on. has anyone checked to see if she’s actually human?
Typical.
Yeah, typically FUNNY!
No, just typically, mindlessly hateful.
Everything on the liberal side of politics is based on hatred.
Versus the time you posted that piece of forgiveness and amelioration?
Oh, wait–
Not even mentioning the fact that he’s generalising every liberal there is.
But wait a second, the same thing happens to Republicans but that’s ok?
I love the way that some people descend into profanity when their small minds and limited vocabularies fail them.
You f**king f**kers need to learn how to f**king speak a f**king g*ddam word right or we’ll f**king beat you the f**k to death!
Crap, ate part of my post. That last part was directed purely at those who can’t form a coherent sentence without using a curse word. I was trying to explain the first part of my post in a way they could understand.
Me = fail on this one
No, typical funny.
After all, this site is a spin-off of ICHC, I Can Has Cheezburger, a site that features funny captions (capshuns) on pictures of cute little kittens (kittehs)
This is not, and I repeat NOT, a political site. If you think it is, you don’t know a thing about the World Wide Web (which is a European invention[*] akshually, brought to you by the same people who built the Large Hardon Collider).
I’ll take the geek bullet for you, ema:
on Star Trek: the Next Generation, Counselor Deanna Troi served aboard the Enterprise. As an alien hybrid half-human, half-Betazoid, Troi “has partial telepathic abilities and is an extra-sensory empath with clairsentience” [WikiPedia].
Implying that Palin resembles the emotionally empathic psychic isn’t an insult. At least not among the Geek-elite
From Geek Land, Troi was massively hot!!
I was always more a fan of Tasha Yar before the tar thing got her, but I was always willing for a Beta-swirl.
Too dykey- Troi was THE babe ( OMG…Trekkie..breaking…thru…)
Dr Crusher is a total MILF.
I have to admit I never have watched a moment of this show…
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on here in weeks. Keep it up.
BTW, yea, she didn’t say that the proximity was a foreign policy credential, but the McCain campain has repeatedly.
yeah, I have been trying to post the original Cindy McCain video at YouTube, but PK keeps eating it.
When it’s the only straw you have, you grab at it.
Like Obama constantly playing the Race card ?
Lime McCain, constantly playing the POW card?
Anyone know when this pic was actually taken? Bristol looks pretty prego-o, but not as much as she did at the convention. And just for conspiracy’s sake, anyone notice the same baby bump on our dear Bristol here:
http://gov.state.ak.us/photos/PalinFamily_Outside_Med.jpg
Supposedly taken in ’07 WAY before little Trig joined team Palin?
Just askin’
That could be the famous “female pooch” that I sported from the time I was about 13, lol. I have never had a flat stomach, and have always looked about 3-4 months preggers. Which is funny, because when I actually DID get pregnant, I never got much of a belly! I don’t know this 100% because I don’t know Bristol or her family personally, but she could just be one of those girls like me who is not exactly fat, but who isn’t skinny as a rail either. I prefer the term “squishy”
Bridget Jones called them her “wobbly bits”. You are right that most women that aren’t starving models have them.
You nutcases are still pushing that Trig conspiracy lie?
Libs never give up on the hate, do they?
EP, careful with the generalizations. After I have called several to task for the same thing, I believe it’s only fair that the other side of the aisle doesn’t paint Liberals the same stripe. I’m sure there are quite a few here that are actually Moderate Democrats, thus being closer to the center.
I don’t know how anyone can keep going with that lie.
It is far more likely that she is just a little chubby.
Chubby and pregnant look different. Chubby is more spread around, pregnant is more of an isolated bump. You can decide for yourself how the picture looks, but to me it looks more pregnant than chubby.
Frankly, I would hope that the conspiracy theory is the correct explanation, since the other one is so much worse.
As I pointed out in a slightly earlier comment, I looked pregnant from the time I was 13 until I actually got pregnant. Women are shaped differently, and some of them have localized fat. Case in point, me
I’d be the happiest woman in the world if my fat were a little more spread out, because it would be easier to hide! She’s just got a female pooch.
I always liked the term ‘frank’. I’ve no idea its origin, but it’s what my old roommate termed her bit-of-belly.
I think I’d like her better, or feel sympathetically anyway, if she had gone to that much trouble to try to help her daughter, rather than thinking that she’d risked a medical emergency getting on a plane with her water leaking and flying to Alaska just so her son wouldn’t be a Texan. Not that I’m judging her–how could anyone know what they would have done in either of those possible situations?
True, I’d would be willing to do just about anything to avoid me child being born a Texan.
Fatty needs to cut back on the moose.
That’s a little harsh, eh? Squishy is not fat.
Here I sit standing up for the girls who have a little something extra….
Oh wait, I can’t stand up if I’m sitting. Someone better tell Biden, quick!
Hehe.
Win ! badddabump!!
Maybe if you stood more you wouldn’t have that bulge.
You’re making the same assumption that Joe Biden made the other day, that everyone in the world is capable of standing. And, you’re perpetrating the stereotype that all women are supposed to have 0 body fat.
FAIL!!!!
Ignorance, ur doin it right!
WIN!!
Fatty apologist win!
You’re an ass, and I doubt you are built like Will Smith (naked in the shower in I Robot, hot!) yourself.
This comment is sexist and shallow and mean.
LOL @ Tina Fey.
Isn’t Russia a pretty picture? Maybe we can kill some animals over there, since we are just about done with seals and polar bears in the U.S.
Who says it ain’t fun to use laser rifles and shoot shit out of a plane.
Great publicity for the Last Frontier BTW.
So, is this a bad time to say, pregnant or not, shes kinda cute, i’d hit it.
Go for it – Betch can’t get pregnant twice!
http://folhawega.blogspot.com/2008/09/live-from-new-york-its-tina-fey-3.html
let’s face it folks, hillbilly culture has taken over. they’re breeding intelligence out of our gene pool!
Umm, unfortunately for the stupid, idiotic democrats, Sarah Palin is NOT running for president, John McCain is, and at least he knows how to run SOMETHING other than a “Community” which is all Obama has ever and will ever run. And BTW everyone, Obama is playing the race card being all like, “If you don’t vote for me, that means you are racist”, but how about this, if you don’t vote for John McCain and SARAH PALIN, then you are sexist. and you can reproduce and still be racist, but you can’t reproduce if you are sexist….. Sorry guys.
What does McCain run again…? His WIFE owns a brewery, so I think she would have a bit more leadership experience…
Being locked in a cage and beaten with a stick doesn’t make you a leader – unless you’re running for president.
I’m guessing those who voted less than five on this didn’t see the SNL sketch.
I don’t get it…
HI RUSSIA!
Ya lyublyu ROSSIYU!
