WHAT’S ALASKAN FOR ‘IGNORANT’? Asked about the housing collapse and emergency government takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Sarah Palin said they had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” Both are private corporations — or were until they were bailed out over the weekend by the Bush Administration and, uh, the taxpayers. [Sam Stein/Associated Press]
Four more years! Four more years! USA! USA!
and so on . . .
At least she knows that they’re companies. When they asked her last week, she murmured something about those sambos who ask for money near the train station.
Whew! She certainly ain’t no scientific rocket, is she?
She should’a told ‘em how them big city bank type things don’t know nuthin’ ’bout no small town Amurka, where people know how to get the gubmit to give errbody checks for free.
But she’s pretty!
I feel sad that the only place we’ll see this gaffe is here, DailyKos & HuffPo. Why does the ‘angry left’ hate Mother Sarah?
Does anyone think Carolyn Bauer is going to hear about this? Or give a rat’s ass if she does? Back to Orbitz for one way tickets to somewhere far far away.
She’s clairvoyant!
oh, is this why the mccain folks don’t want her talkin’ to the media?
i cant believe people are voting for this dumbbell vagrant from our racist wintery brothers to the north and west.
It’s like the Inuit and the word “snow”, Alaskans have 14 words for “inept politician”. They elect so many of them they just got tired of using the same phrase over and over.

Did she really use the word “gotten”? English language fail…but actually, I’m not surprised.
Too big and too expensive to the taxpayers?
Does she know how taxes are spent? 54% of taxes (one out of two bucks, baby) go to current and past military (probably including McCain’s pension).

The supreme court is the basketball arena in DC.
The federal reserve is where all that oil is stored.
Congress is the sexual union of a man and a woman–within the sanctity of the marriage bed, why thank you very much!
The president’s cabinet has some big jugs of liquor in it.
The tutoring should clear that up and then she’ll be all set for the heartbeat away job.
It’s amazing how this woman moved so quickly from GILF to GILFOIWABG.
(Only If Wearing A Ball Gag)…..
Now Ken, “ignorant” implies you’re undereducated, and capable of doing better. Palin is bone-stupid. In her case, the old redneck saying of “if you kill him/her/it, it won’t learn nuthun’” does not apply. What you see here is what you get.
who’s the idiot here ?
you people are .. if you wouldn’t make demands of compliant media to do things they’re not equipped to do, like ask questions, you won’t get answers you don’t want to hear, from people who aren’t equipped to answer questions.
nobody pays attention — she could repeat the sambo crack with gibson, and it would be obama’s fault.
the only interivew anyone will pay any mind to is the chas gibson softball tourney …. and if you think she’s going to get tripped up there, i have a bridge to … well …. Nowhere, Alaska to sell you.
I thought Fannie Mae was a candy and Freddie Mac a hamburger, and so big was good.
We need some picutes of sarah without the glasses with her hair down and in Frederick’s of Hollywood female underwear.
I guess they moved this lesson up to chapter one in her study guide.
Texan Bulldoggette: why do the lefty medias get all sissified when they are called liberal? so what? they do realize when they back off and get cowardly, they in turn become entrenched in the septic miasma that is conservatism?
msnbc really blew it not letting KO get the left-leaning viewers all pissy and active during the election.
bah.
4 more years of this cunt and I’ll fucking cut my womb out!
I am still violently pelting words in my head trying to figure out how this idiot woman has become such a rock star celebrity? She doesn’t even have a nice voice..
Basically All you have to do to become VP in the US of A is to go to 5 colleges, finally get a journalism degree without ever writing for a Newspaper, pop out 5 kids - the last being mentally and physically challenged - tote him around and pass him from hand to hand to show what a great pitbulls she is in lipstick, oppose abortion (even in cases of rape and incest), oppose sex education which by the way your teenage daughter quit school to have a baby for her dropout unemployed baby daddy.. Oh and let’s not forget she was the Mayor of a town of 9000 - and under her watch, they had a METH epidemic and as of today.. as Gov. of Alaska, Mrs. Van Palin has the highest rate (ratio wise of course) of Sexually Infectious Diseases in the US, formally known as STDs..
They want your wombs America..
WadISay: At least we know what her next two kids are going to be named.
What. Ever.
Larry Fine: face down on the bed.
Sorry. Bad bear.
she’s like, clubbed alaskan seal cub cute!
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and I believe that our, education like such as, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.
USA! USA! USA!
Let me clear this up,
You see, in Alaska, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are a well-known sexy polar bear couple
at the world famous Wasilla zoo, or they were, before Sarah righteously blew them
away with a shotgun for being way too fucking fat.
Gopherit v2.0: FTW!
Uncle Al: Eggsactly!
Wow. I guess we now know from which parent Trig Palin gets his intelligence.
Tequila Face:
I know this makes me sound elitist, but her English is atrocious. Over the weekend I heard her interviewed and she said something to the effect of: “If they would have let John McCain blah, blah, blah.”
Seriously, people, what is it about the bitters that they prize ignorance and illiteracy?
“gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.”
This is exactly how I feel about Alaska.
Please someone answer this for me…If this woman is elected, as a taxpayer, do I have to pay for her daughter’s pregnancy? Doesn’t she get a free-for-all on insurance?
Alaska doesn’t get earmarks it IS AN EARMARK!
Here’s a fun one for those of you who can’t even get on an Amtrak train because they are too crowded. Despite massive increases in ridership, they only have enough money to refurbish 12 passenger cars NATIONWIDE to add to their fleet.
The STATE OWNED Alaska Railroad - which hauls coal, gasoline (back north) and gravel - and TOURISTS received something like $80M/yr in handouts from the same federal government that wants to shut Amtrak down.
Amazing!
This world is canfusing!
The only taxpayer funded Fannies are the asses currently in charge who are screwing the country.
In the words of Karl Pilkington:
“You can only talk rubbish if you’re aware of knowledge.” So our dear little Mooselover might not be talking rubbish since she’s unaware of the true facts surrounding, you know, current events. Such as.
VP Candidate Lesson #1: It’s good to know what the taxpayers are *actually* paying for, and to avoid stepping on your dick, like such as.
TheWhig: It’s “She’s no rocket surgeon”
Who cares what Palin thinks. What matters, my fellow workers, is that the great revolutionary leader George Bush has nationalized the great banks of America! At last the vile beast of Capitalism has been tamed and whimpers under the control of the Glorious State. Unite comrades, unite - for the hour of Socialist Utopia is now at hand.
*waves Red Flag*
Our Sarah is always and forever Peggy Hill. This goes well beyond the hair, glasses, and face, to the redneck boyfriends (of Luanne and Bristol) to the no-doubt disgusting “Wal-Mart mom” recipes. And, yeah, the complete ignorance of the world outside. http://www.fox.com/kingofthehill/bios/peggy.htm
Itsjustme:
Look at the bright side. If she’s elected, they’ll do something about global warming, just to bring ice fishing back to the basin.
A republican that shoots her mouth off without thinking or knowing what the hell she’s talking about? There’s no way they will keep someone like that on the ticket.
Can’t we give Alaska back to Russia? I’m sure Putin will be able to educate Palin in no time about true capitalism. By the way, everything folks here say about what a welfare state Alaska is has been, ahem, right on the money. Hypocrisy thy name is Alaska, which incidentally has been ruled by repubs pretty much all the time since it became a state.
RuperttheBear: Big jugs, heh, heh
magic titty: Fuck you! I’m a wintery racist and I’m not voting for her! Well, I can’t actually, but still..
Back to the educational underground bunker for Caribou Barbie. Maybe that’s why she transferred schools so often; she just left, as soon as exams rolled around.
magic titty: Part of the Rovian-ing of the media, I would assume. Fox is ‘fair & balanced’ when we all know the truth of that cute little tagline. But when the other networks try to report something Rove et al don’t want reported, they are part of the bad ‘liberal’ media. Frankly, it’s a good strategy that dumb asses can understand: ‘media bad; they hate America.’

be nice.
madtowngooner: those poor eskimoes needz our freedom earmarks to keep payin for our madeinchina walmart crapz!
wheelie: Oh… am I laughing or crying? I can’t tell anymore…
Well, that didn’t take long.
madtowngooner: No. But on the plus side, the way Bush has the economy headed, Russia may be able to buy it back. Of course the locals won’t want that because Alaskan Independence is much more attractive. I think we should just nuke ‘em before they get too uppity. I know that would be attacking one of our own states, but you have to think preemptively here. 911 changed everything.
Texan Bulldoggette: i wonder what level of scandal she would have to achieve to be vilified by the electorate?
video of her eating a dead wolf with her bare hands?
interracial porn?
JadedDIssonance: Shouldn’t that be posted at the Onion?
wheelie: You commie-Micks think your all kinds of funny, don’t you?
Oh, yeah, A+. I need to stock up on irony-meters for this campaign season.
(Paraphrasing an e-mail I just got re: this gaffe)
Any suggestions on what country we should move to after November?
masterdebater: Back in the early 1960’s when the North Slope oil and Alaska pipleline was just a vaguely defined plan, one proposal to build a deep water port for off take at the end of the pipeline considered the effects of setting off a nuclear device to dredge out a large shallow water inlet in the ’southeast’. I actually saw the proposals at Mobil when I was with them in the 1980’s.
d4g33z: Sexist.
thursdaynext27: I don’t know if there is anywhere that will be safe. Stupidity like this will have a worldwide reach. We won’t be able to run or hide from this. Plus, wherever we went we’d be tarred and feathered for being stupid fucking Amerikkkans who fucked up yet again by not electing the far superior, smart and beautiful black man. I don’t think this country deserves Barry.
magic titty: Naah, eating a dead wolf would really get those jerk offs excited. People would be going to their local grocery stores trying to find wolf meat.
Now the interracial porn–that just might horrify enough of the evangelicals to make them stay home. I think if precious Bristol had gotten herself knocked up by a black guy, me thinks Mother Sarah would have taken her to a discrete little clinic somewhere on the frozen tundra.
Let your stupid shine on Sarah (soon to be a Trivial Pursuit question) Palin!
Somebody please ask her why the government didn’t bail out Bernie Mac too?
dingleberries: Obvious….he was a negro.
Serolf Divad: Correct grammar be elitist.
Botswana Meat Commission FC: New rule, to rip off Bill Maher: Whatever part of the country wants to secede, good riddance! Alaska will still sell us oil, Hawaii will still let airplanes full of haoles land, and Florida will still fuck up elections — just not ours anymore.
Uncle Al: I am willing to bet that like these US Americans will like friggin’ (I’m like totally sorry Iraq, whatevs), anywo, they will like vote for Sarah Palin and POW Pappi! Yess… So cool.. USA USA USA - God bless the Fucking USA!
dingleberries: … and Freddie Mercury!
Itsjustme: Forget the daughter’s pregnancy.. What about the retarded kid we will have to support until he dies prematurely? People take this shit as a joke, but what kind of selfish BITCH is excited to bring a Down Syndrome baby into this world. Seriously, you brain has to be constructed of fecal matter..
Now they are going to use that kid as a poster child for how cool it is to have a Downs baby.
Shit, my stomach hurts from this.
V572625694:
But then I’d be stuck living in Confederacy-stan.
Slutty_Chola_Cobbler: With good care, people with Down Syndrome can live until their 50’s. However, Trig is at a disadvantage because it seems as though his dumb ass mother will be too busy…uh…hopefully not running Washington… to properly care for him.
P.S. I love the username. It looks like someone reads dlisted.com!
Texan Bulldoggette: Fear not, dear lady, it’s already in a NYT blog too. It’s spreading. I’m sure it’ll be on the News Hour to-nite.
tina: I say FREE SARAH PALIN!

Tequila Face: There is nothing incorrect about gotten. It’s an Americanism. Why do you hate America?
Gopherit v2.0: LOL!!! And I never write LOL.
Jeez, I hope she wasn’t planning on funding her social spending by slashing expenditures to the Fannies.
magic titty: Drinking herbal tea instead of coffee.
Croissant instead of donut.
Keeping her tire properly inflated.
Being found in bed with a live girl or a dead boy.
Reading Wonkette.
snig: Speaking French without an accent.
Well, she’s right. Once something gets too big and expensive in Alaska, you go to the ‘lower’ 48 to bail you out. When Moosilini is running the show she’ll go to the lower Arabs and lower Chinese to bail us out. But them there sand-neegros and chinanikos are not good hard working white americans and they’ll have extracted all value by thens, leaving us to be sold on to the mexicans.
WHO WILL IMPREGNATE YOUR CHILDREN THEN SNOWBILLY?
I’ve seen this movie. Christopher Walken has special powers. There’s a hockey accident. A lot of snow. Some moron ends up president and pushes the red button.
They should be running ads 24-7 demanding that McCain and Alaska and George W. Bush give the people their money back. All $8 trillion of it. I just want the ads, all eleven bazillion of them, to feature a crowd of angry movie goers booing Bush on the movie screen and jumping up and down in unison chanting REFUND! REFUND! REFUND!
It’s not going to matter what this bitchface says….the fact is people will vote for her because “she’s just like me”….i.e. fucking dumb. Once McPOW and Mooselini are in office…McPOW will have a “heart attack” and Hillbilly Redneck will be President. Congress will also have been taken back from the Democrats in the election and Rove and Cheney will bring out another right wing extremist Nazi to be annointed Vice President by said Congress. There will be no dissent. There will be no protests. War on the intelligentsia will be declared formally and the Constitution will be defacated by Eskimo Barbie’s Redneck Son In Law on and burned. Fox News will play on every tv channel with the exception of one channel reserved for “American Idol” and “So you think you can Dance”. We will all sit on our couches, drooling.
Or, as a possible alternative scenario: all these fucking bumps in the polls that put McCabe and Mrs. Driller over Barry are just the honeymoon period, which will end as soon as the word gets out about how very, very little she knows about anything besides field dressing a moose.
timeoutofmind: That reminds me of a Frank Zappa quote about Rolling Stone: “Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read.” Yeah, it applies.
Alaska has fewer people than we’ve killed in Iraq, and more oil.
Do the maths.
You all realize that GSE’s o cost taxpayers money right?
