Palin Makes Iraq-9/11 Link That Even Bush Isn’t Dumb Enough To Make Anymore

No more public appearances for you!Yes, America, this for sure is the relatable, spunky mom with small-town values who we want to be president after John McCain dies his third week in office: the one who blames the attacks of September 11 on Iraq. This puts her in a very exclusive club of exactly two, the other member being Dick Cheney, and together they are the only two humans left on earth willing to say with a straight face that there was a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda before 9/11.

Sarah Palin’s son is going off to put his Country First, or possibly avoid embarrassing his family with any more drug-fueled vandalism escapades, so Palin went and spoke at Track’s deployment ceremony.

Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would “defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.”

OH SWELL.

  1. Well shit. Pardon me while I go donate another $50 to the Obama campaign.

  2. Sarah Palin is an al Qaeda plant, whose goal is to strike fear of the Crusader in the hearts of Muslims everywhere.

  3. JadedDIssonance says at 10:54 am, September 12th, 2008

    Hardy Har Har.

  4. Oh, Jeebus F’in Crrist on a shingle, she didn’t! She did. Even Bush doesn’t say this anymore. Did they make her watch old Dick Cheney on MTP tapes to get her talking points? Just shoot me now.

  5. Give her a break - she was just quoting Abraham Lincoln.

  6. Johnny Zhivago says at 10:54 am, September 12th, 2008

    With Track in Iraq, at least the teenage girls of Wasilla will be safer.

  7. JadedDIssonance says at 10:54 am, September 12th, 2008

    The Gordo: y’know, I had the SAME EXACT THOUGHT!!! I want to see the latest Hoperaising totals.

  8. And those WMD’s are still there…..somewhere!

  9. InsidiousTuna says at 10:56 am, September 12th, 2008

    The Gordo: I’m out of money, or I would go match your donation right now.

  10. Hey, maybe she wasn’t talking about the death of thousands of Americans on Sept. 11. Maybe the Iraqis were involved in the creation and marketing of Vioxx.

  11. CankleBiter says at 10:56 am, September 12th, 2008

    Unfortunately it proves she is utterly qualified to take over for Darth Cheney.

  12. WTF? Can we institute an entrance exam for the fucking POTUS and Veep positions? Preschools these days have entrance exams these days, fer chrissakes… This is sad and pathetic, but the people pushing up Walnuts! numbers are the people who believe this shit…

  13. KittyKatMan says at 10:58 am, September 12th, 2008

    What’s really dumb is saying yes to the VP spot when you were a member of an American-hater club:

  14. Noodle Salad says at 10:58 am, September 12th, 2008

    Lipstick on Dick Cheney is still Dick Cheney.

  15. Jeebus, people, don’t you see: We have to fight them there so we don’t have to fight them in Alaska.

  16. Godless Liberal says at 10:59 am, September 12th, 2008

    Oh my Jesus there isn’t really even anything funny about this.

  17. “Yup, Yup. Brits had this report sayin’ Iraq wuz buyin’ a nuke-u-lar spongebob from niggers in Africa.”

  18. MoodProcessor says at 10:59 am, September 12th, 2008

    Ingnorance is blistering.

  19. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:00 am, September 12th, 2008

    …this morning while getting my daily events fix, I heard Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski complaining that Charlie Gibson was “pop quizzing” Sarah Palin. And also implying that a particular question about “hubris” was sexist because it wouldn’t be asked of a man. But what these 2 dodo birds don’t realize is that political vetting of candidates can now be measured in two time frames: Pre-Bush and Post-Bush. Seven years ago, every time someone asked George Bush a foreign policy question Republicans complained that people were unfairly “quizzing” him. Not realizing how important his views and knowledge of foreign policy will effect our country. Fast-forward to 2008; and we are now neck deep in the problems caused by 7 years of head strong, short-sighted and ill prepared foreign policy. This attitude that our political representatives should be given a free pass on certain issues is ridiculous and goes back to the whole mindset of electing officials based on personality not substance. To be fair I don’t expect Sarah Palin(or any candidate for that matter) to know everything about foreign or domestic policy, but what I do expect is a reasonable sense involvement in the global environment; not a repetition of talking points. She was so obviously coached, that we really know nothing of Sarah Palin’s real outlook on the world or even if she even has or cares to have an outlook . It is disturbing that today in the United States elections are nothing more than glorified student body president elections. Can someone please tell me WHY Americans have such an aversion to electing the SMARTEST and MOST QUALIFIED people into office?

  20. Enturbulator says at 11:01 am, September 12th, 2008

    The more this snowbilly flaps her gums the more ignorant and batshit crazy she sounds.

    Our country would never…

    Oh, shit.

  21. You know, I think this brings up a very interesting insight into the governor’s foreign policy outlook and credentials, and reflects that as much as she can dismissively discuss…

    Holy Shit! Wait! Is she wearing RIMLESS GLASSES! I WEAR RIMLESS GLASSES! She’s JUST LIKE ME!1!! I am SOOO voting for this woman.

    What were we talking about?

  22. Sorry, not a massive enough misspeak to convince the looney right that she’s dangerously inexperienced.

    The McCain people will just say that Sarah was only reflecting her understanding that Al Qaeda in Iraq is behind many of the suicide bombings there and that Al Qaeda attacked us on 9/11, ergo Giuliani has a woody.

  23. Did Al-Queda or Iraq attack us on September 11th? Christ that over SEVEN YEARS ago. Who can be so certain about something that long ago?

    One time I got into a debate with my friend over who was in Deliverance: Jon Voight or Tom Skerritt. This is just like that except this time the idiot who thinks it was Tom Skerritt MIGHT HAVE TO BE PRESIDENT ONE FUCKFARTING DAY.

  24. SuperRounder says at 11:03 am, September 12th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Please stop listening/watching Joe Scardouche. You’re better than that.

  25. masterdebater says at 11:03 am, September 12th, 2008

    No one in the media has ever held Bush responsible for this lie, so it makes sense to repeat it as often as possible to the gullible electorate. There is a wierd need people seem to have since the Reagan years. They want stupid people in office (I guess because they can keep the “anyone can be President” belief alive in their hearts). It’s the 21st century American, or at least the republican way, to do things that offend the conscience of thoughtful people…because 9/11 changed everything, 9/11, terrorists, bombs, 9/11, god bless America, thank you for your support.

  26. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:06 am, September 12th, 2008

    …Nah, Im gonna have to disagree with you guys on her qualifications to be VP. This is the way it suppose to be:

    President = Dumb azz with no foreign policy experience and confuses countries/enemies!

    Vice President = Warmongering blood thirsty sociopath.

    So, see the problem is they mixed up the order on this one. FAIL!

  27. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 11:06 am, September 12th, 2008

    She doesn’t mean the suicide bombers over there, does she? Great Leaping Jeebus, I just want this bitch to say something that doesn’t make me want to savage her knees with a ball-peen hammer.

  28. whiteasasheet says at 11:07 am, September 12th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Because the smartest and most qualified candidate happens to be black? Maybe?

  29. Fight the enemy there, men and women of our proud military. We’ll fight our other enemies (Frau Palin) while you’re gone.

  30. AmericanValues says at 11:07 am, September 12th, 2008

    Glasses! also referred to the Iraq war as a task from God.

    WALNUTS!/Glasses! 08 : Four more years of lies and holy wars!

  31. Sarah Palin is so terrifying. The massive levels of crazy radiating from her make the movie Jesus Camp look like a lighthearted musical.

    I’m about to march up to one of the Obama tards annoying people with pamphlets outside the student union to demand a fistful of Obama stickers and a membership to their elitist club. Hopey is starting to look pretty appealing.

  32. ManchuCandidate says at 11:09 am, September 12th, 2008

    Saw clips of it this morning.

    I could hear the arctic wind whistling between Palin’s ears and flying over the tundra she calls a brain. She’s got the cunning and sharp teeth of a wolverine, but unable to grasp anything beyond “Fire hot” or “Me so horny.”

  33. donner_froh says at 11:09 am, September 12th, 2008

    Believing that Saddam Hussien was responsible for 9/11 must be a new qualification for VP on the Republican ticket. The only one.

  34. Ha! According to the article, her husband’s Secret Service name is “Driller”.

  35. V572625694 says at 11:09 am, September 12th, 2008

    Palin for presnident (of Dumbfuckistan)!

  36. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:12 am, September 12th, 2008

    SuperRounder: …the funny thing is that 80% of the time he opens his mouth I mute the T.V. He is such a fukking hack, honestly I think I can tolerate Pat Buchanan more than him! He has such a condescending and arrogant tone when he speaks, it makes me want to kick my T.V. over.

  37. You the shit’s gotten serious when AngryBlakGuy: starts posting without any snark at all.

  38. I love reading the Palin/National Enquirer stuff, but then I see the “Liberace Resurrected” tease on the side, and it totally fans down my boner.

  39. I think you all missed VPILF’s point:
    “the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans” refers to Mooslims and Brown People, aren’t all Iraqi’s Mooslims and Brown People? QED.

  40. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 11:14 am, September 12th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: You can’t have a beer, or a glass of chilled moose blood, and talk about wrastlin’ with the most smartest and qualified. They prefer elitist book reading and wine. Now I ask you, how can you trust someone in office that you wouldn’t even have a drink with?

  41. Caribou Barbie: Saddam Hussein set up us teh bomb!

  42. obfuscator says at 11:15 am, September 12th, 2008

    Quietly: On Wednesday night, MSNBC ran footage of Palin telling the congregation at her church to pray that God decided to give the state of Alaska some new oil pipeline or some shit. What’s the far northern equivalent of snake handling? Wolverine molesting?

  43. WIDTAP: There is an implied “You Know” in there somewhere.

  44. A solid community college education is vital preparation for a career in public service.

  45. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:15 am, September 12th, 2008

    …was anyone able to hold down their lunch long enough to watch FAUX News evaluation of the interview? I would love to hear the spin they put on this one.

  46. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:16 am, September 12th, 2008

    V572625694: …I heard they are currently at war with Asshatia!

  47. masterdebater says at 11:16 am, September 12th, 2008

    whiteasasheet: Well, yes…but it’s racist of you to point it out…Oh, and it disparages working moms with handicapped children and pregnant daughters who want to be President more than anything else in the world, and don’t care what they have to do or say to get there.

  48. SuperRounder says at 11:18 am, September 12th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: It’s that “obviously you can’t argue with me on this” tone. And the way he pretends to be impartial. I actually heard him say “I’m just the average American male.” he makes me never want to visit Northern Florida. Can’t you just give the panhandle back to Alabama?

  49. MrAgro: What do you mean? I’d TOTALLY vote for Tom Skerrit.

  50. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:20 am, September 12th, 2008

    DieOnTheTurnpike: …if a serious drinking problem is the only requirement to be president then I’m going start putting together my campaign right now! I wonder how “AngryBlakGuy ‘08″ will play in the south?

  51. mookworthjwilson says at 11:20 am, September 12th, 2008

    MrAgro: We should just end this whole thing and appoint Tom Skerrit as our president.

  52. I want Biden to challenge her to an honor duel and make her cry like Brian Urlacher in that Old Spice commercial.

  53. The Gordo: mookworthjwilson: Truer words have never been spoken by both of you.

  54. StripesAndPlaids says at 11:25 am, September 12th, 2008

    shoeho: If you think she is like Dick Cheney now, wait until she shoots an old man in the face.

  55. Da Derga: Haha, I see what they did there with the double meanings.

  56. obfuscator: She’s a half step down from snake handling… the Assembly of God church she went to until 6 years ago (when she decided to start in politics) practices speaking in tongues… they’re seriously Jesus Freaks in the freakiest sense of the word.

  57. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 11:26 am, September 12th, 2008

    Speaking of the VPILF aspect, apologies if this has already been posted. Behold the woman who actually beat Palin to become Miss Alaska: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5772411

    Looks like this won’t be the first time she’s been up against a stronger, more talented option who also, incidentally, is black. I’d be willing to bet even this woman knows Iraq’s non-relationship to 9/11. Most school kids do and they merely study it as history. Mother Moose lived it.

  58. obfuscator says at 11:26 am, September 12th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: Only if Michael Ironsides can be VP.

  59. NoWireHangers says at 11:26 am, September 12th, 2008

    Of course there’s a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda! Read between the lines people!

    IRAQ
    AL Qaeda

    Only Dick Cheney and Palin believe this? HA! I listened to a woman on NPR last night insist that Obama was secretly a Mooslim and lying to America and that “in her gut” she just couldn’t trust him. Let’s not forget that 1/5 of US Americans can’t find the USA on a map. Our electorate is pretty stupid. God help us.

  60. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:27 am, September 12th, 2008

    SuperRounder: …actually since the panhandle of Florida is where most of state prisons are, I think we should just wall it off and make it a prison colony kinda like the way the British did Australia.

    AngryBlakGuy: win

    Gov. Gidget is a walking, talking example of why No Child Left Behind does not work: she was “educated” (read “crammed”) to the ‘test’ and regurgitated answers, i.e. ’she was taught to the test.’ She does not understand the material (see her answer to the Bush Doctrine).

  66. edgydrifter says at 11:29 am, September 12th, 2008

    facehead: +1, yup yup.

  67. Weeping Jesus says at 11:29 am, September 12th, 2008

    So, am I understanding that 2008 marks the official tipping point of the American republic? A huge percentage of polled voters say:

    1. Take candidate with limited local government experience and no demonstrated history of knowledge of (or even interest in) national or international affairs.
    2. Coach candidate for a few weeks on shallow talking points and facile nexus explanations.
    3. Claim candidate is now “force to be reckoned with”.
    4. Place candidate in position to inherit presidency upon death of elderly, confused partner.

    Really, I understand that some will say this is the logical extension of what we have had with Bush. But Bush grew up in a political family and even if he didn’t really understand anything that the grownups were talking about he absorbed the atmosphere and showed a readiness to be worked like a ventriloquist’s dummy.

    2012 could be something out of an absurdist comedy.

  68. Hart88: In fact, they’re sitting right next to the killer who actually murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

  69. StripesAndPlaids says at 11:29 am, September 12th, 2008

    Do you even need to watch it?

    Faux Femme Airhead ONE: OMG! I, like, almost came when Palin talked about linking Iraq with 9/11!
    Faux Femme Airhead Two: Seriously! Me Too!
    Faux Male Airhead: That Chuck Gibson was so mean to that sweet soon to be grandma Palin asking her all those hard questions. Only if she were a black man because they get all the easy ones!
    FFA1: Yeah, like, you know, “What is your favorite color?” Obviously, BLACK.
    FFA2: Yeah, all those like, um, black people stick together.
    FMA: Of course. The only thing that will save us are Tax Cuts and more wars on dark people.
    FFA1: I hear all my friends that they’ll vote for Palin because she’s a mom and we all like our moms unlike those Demrats.
    FFA2: Yeah. Is it, um like, wrong to get a little wet when you see Sarah on TV?
    FMA: Ewwww, women yuck. I don’t like it when they wear tight clothing. They really should show more of Bristol’s ‘fiance’ Levi. I’d take a chubby from him…”
    FFA1 and FFA2 look at FMA. “Um, hypothetically speaking because I’m all man.”
    FFA1 and FFA2 share a knowing look of “Yeah right”
    A flustered FMA, “Uh, when we come back. We will be talking about Obama. Baby eater or Baby Molester. You decide, on Faux.”

    ManchuCandidate: …hehehe

  78. AngryBlakGuy: ESCAPE FROM JACKSONVILLE

  79. AngryBlakGuy: I dunno, it sounds like you’re describing a Palin/Palin ‘08 ticket. She’s got the stupid down pat, and is more than happy to lead us into war against Russia, so that pretty much covers the sociopath part as well.

    In an ideal world, people who consider their afterlife fairy tale more important than their current life would never hold a job with more responsibilities than asking “Do you want fries with that?”

  80. ProgHead777 says at 11:37 am, September 12th, 2008

    The thing that scares me is that she’s actually getting mixed reviews on the Gibson interview. Chuck Todd said something to the effect of, “Well, it wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.”

    Really?! I mean, you could actually see the sparks coming out of her ears as she connected the questions to the answers they drilled into her head during the foreign policy boot camp she’s been through this past week or whatever. And the fact that she actually had some answers, good or bad, doesn’t change the fact that she very obviously doesn’t know what she talking about.

  81. obfuscator: Viper/Jester 08!!!!!

  82. sati demise says at 11:38 am, September 12th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: No, thats just the change they will bring to the White House.
    Role reversal!

  83. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 11:39 am, September 12th, 2008

    StripesAndPlaids: …and that is how Palin will become POTUS.

  84. >>Well, it wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.

    He’s right; she managed not to _explicitly_ call for a nuclear strike on Moscow, so she did OK.

  85. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 11:43 am, September 12th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: And that’s the point! Our leaders should be better than us. You know what I’m starting to realize? I think we can blame this on reality television as much as anything.

    People have gotten too used to seeing their dumbass surrogate friends locked in a house with twelve other dumbasses for months at a stretch. The reason behind why someone is on the teevee, versus what they’re supposed to bring to the table to even be there to begin with, is being lost. It may be helpful to ratings to be sure that a reality show cast has someone for every type of person to identify with, but I want a leader who drinks far less than I do, is one helluva lot smarter and who won’t accidentally hit the button to start WW III while thinking she’s buzzing Marge in the next office.

  86. RobPetrified says at 11:46 am, September 12th, 2008

  87. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:48 am, September 12th, 2008

    DoctorCulturae: …how about her answer on Israel?! “We shouldn’t second guess Israel” WTF?! In case no one told her: Israel is surrounded by a half a dozen countries who really dont like it very much. And even if it used every nuke in its arsenal there would still be plenty of brown people to overwhelm their defenses. The only reason why they don’t overrun them with hordes of foot soldiers is because they are afraid of us! And right now our military isn’t in the greatest condition. And in the immortal words of some military commander that I cant remember “Never start a fight that you cant win”!

  88. ProgHead777 says at 11:49 am, September 12th, 2008

    4tehlulz: I wish he’d asked her explicitly about nuclear weapons. Ha! That woulda been a hoot!

    “Why, yes, as NATO allies we would naturally be expected to cremate all of Georgia’s enemies in a thermonuclear holocaust.” *smiles*

  89. Cogito Ergo Bibo: So you’re saying I SHOULDN’T vote for the candidate I’d most like to have a beer/prayer/affair with? So Palin/McCain’s out. I guess that leaves Ron Paul, since I can’t think of anything I’d want to do with him. Obama’s out because he’s bla . . . um, eats arugula.

  90. I address you today from my office on the dangle, formerly known as “La Florida”. It is important to note we can see Cuba from the balconies of our hotels and haciendas in Key West. And there is enough rhum here to help all of us forget Bush and his indocterinations.

    Fingers crossed, my friends! I’m selling my precious swing state vote for a chance to be in the cabinet. I was originally thinking just ambassador, but did you see my fucking resume above?

  91. NoWireHangers says at 11:51 am, September 12th, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: Reality TV is the result of our doomed society, but also gasoline for the fire…

    I mean, I don’t even know anymore. Devolution…what a concept.

  92. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:52 am, September 12th, 2008

    ProgHead777: “Well, it wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.”

    Translation: At least she didn’t swallow her tongue or urinate on herself!

  93. >>I guess that leaves Ron Paul, since I can’t think of anything I’d want to do with him.

    Not even hot libertarian sex?

  94. Depressed & Pissed-Off says at 11:52 am, September 12th, 2008
  95. StripesAndPlaids: She’ll do Cheney one better. She’ll shoot an old man in the face from a plane.

  96. ZippyDee: It’s quite easy to get in the cabinet. Prying yourself out once somebody has shut the doors on you is another matter.

    Cheers!

  97. Weeping Jesus says at 11:55 am, September 12th, 2008

    Palin in Alaska Business Monthly interview: “I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq.”

    Don’t worry, Sarah, it won’t matter….unless, of course, some deranged old nose-in-the-trough maverick decides you’re the perfect candidate to “shake up Washington”.

    I mean, what are the odds, Sarah? It would be as absurd as electing a professional wrestler to govern Minnesota….. holy shit, we ARE fucked.

  98. obfuscator says at 11:55 am, September 12th, 2008

    ProgHead777:

    That was Chuck’s way of saying, “Chris, all my data indicates that electing Governor Palin to the office of the vice presidency could have truly catastrophic consequences for this universe and any other alternate planes of reality. That being said, she seems to have developed the ability to memorize and recite a series of 3-sentence talking points, so it’s kind of a wash as far as that goes.”

  99. DoctorCulturae says at 11:56 am, September 12th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Agreed. What I like about the Bush Doctrine non-answer is that whistling of air rushing through her ears and out her eyes and nose, that hollow noiseless sound of emptiness, the smile of a pretty-person. Her tacit, unintentional answer is “look at my neat glasses, see my teeth, note how well my hair is quaffed.” One can faintly hear the commotion of a small kid scrambling in her room for an apple to give the teacher: “See, there tis doncha know!”

  100. 4tehlulz: Not even hot libertarian sex. Although if you put a pointy red hat on his head, I’d let him stand on my lawn with the rest of the garden gnomes.

  101. StripesAndPlaids: And that old man will be Mcarpetbagger.

    V-PILF: Hey, John You ever shoot a moose from a helicopter?

    Johnny-Mac: No, sarah, I haven’t. Why do you and your fine-assed self take on to alaska and show me how!

    (now, imagine air traffic controllers having to call a little piper-cub flying over the frozen tundra Air Force One)

    V-Pilf: Ok, Johnny-boy, just look right out this windo here… that’s it… just a little more..

    Johnny-Mac: Sarah, I don’t see anything but snow…

    V-PILF: Oh, just wait, your gonna see something….. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

    (Later on, at a presser in the Wasillia airport:)
    Prez-ilf: *sniff* Sniff….. I..I.. don’t know what happenend, I was aiming at a moose when Johnny looked out to see what I was aiming at when the Air Force One hit some turbulence… This is a sad day for our country. And Now that I am President, I hearby declare that ANWR is now for sale to the highest bidder.

    ZippyDee: Speaking of blinkety-blink: When will someone post the video of McBlinky shaking Hopesman’s hand at the end of last night discussion? It was a tsunami of blinkey, smiley, stuttery, Beavis heh-heherry. Methinks he was having a conniption.

  107. TGY: GAWD! Wouldn’t that have been great if Obama answered the question last night about putting McCain in his cabinet…”Sure! I could find a cozy spot for him in my KITCHEN cabinet!!!!”

  108. DoctorCulturae: The tell-tale heart. He knows he is a very, very bad man. Dear Lord, it looked like Obama laid a hand buzzer on him the way he jerked and twitched!

    Buh-bumhp, buh-bumhp, buh-bumhp, John McCain. Deep, deep down under the crust of hardened political expediency you have a tiny pilot light of a conscience. And your guilty mind will make you go nuts. Nutsier.

    He sold out his maverickness to the Rovians.

  113. Georgia Girl says at 12:21 pm, September 12th, 2008

    I live near Ft. Benning, Georgia. A customer of mine, a pregnant former air force airman whose husband has done two tours in Iraq believes our war in Iraq is about 9/ll. She wants to “finish” the job in Iraq even if it means losing her husband if he gets another tour. I was speechless and kept my mouth shut. Go figure. Whats that syndrome that Patty Hurst had?

  114. sati demise says at 12:24 pm, September 12th, 2008

    DoctorCulturae: And I swear to god, Hopey told John to ‘clean it up’ when he shook his hand.

    At least I hope that is what he said.
    Clean up your campaign, McNasty, and stop lying and then pretending you cant stop it because Barry refused to draw crowds for you while you droned on and on at a town hall meeting.

  115. Georgia Girl: Ummm Stockholm. But I hardly think its fair to start blaming Norweejuns for this shit.

  116. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:29 pm, September 12th, 2008

    …oh yeah, as of yesterday we no longer have diplomatic ties with Bolivia and Venezuela! I’m pretty sure Sarah Palin will have a thoughtful and comprehensive plan reduce the tension in the region?

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry I couldn’t even say that with a straight face!

    Man I thought Idiocracy was a comedy not a documentary.

  120. ZippyDee: Fuck, I’m wrong as can be. I just looked it up, and Norway is suspiciously close to Russia. Bastards!

  121. Urgent request for the talented among you out there:

    We desperately need a mash-up of Miss Carolina (”the Iraq”) and Palin’s Bush Doctrine answer…

    Anyone capable of putting such a gem together?

  122. DoctorCulturae says at 12:49 pm, September 12th, 2008

    sati demise: Yes, and when will McAngry stop POUTING about Hopesman not doing town hall events. I suspect Hopey will never do them now because he knows Gramps McPoutness will filibuster: 5.5 years, love of country, Gov. Gidget, McUnchange, etc. He’s proven he will not stay focused on any real issue and Barry will not dirty himself by going there.

    Grandpa McCoy: Dagnabbit Barry!

  123. This puts her in a very exclusive club of exactly two, the other member being Dick Cheney, and together they are the only two humans left on earth willing to say with a straight face that there was a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda before 9/11.

    She’s obviously uniquely qualified for the vice presidency. Joe Biden should take note.

  124. grendel: I grew up next to a woman who used to be a missionary for
    the Assemblies of God. She thought that with God’s help she could travel through space and time.
    That will come in handy when Mooselini presses the big red button that says “Launch”
    (she thinks it says “Lunch”).

  125. space stout: OR Aliens Tom Skerrit

  126. space stout: [make that] OR Deliverance Tom Skerrit!

  127. Sure she’ll recklessly link 9/11 and Iraq, but will she shoot a lawyer in the face and get him to apologize for being shot? I think not.

    http://thesebastards.blogspot.com/

  128. Meanwhile, Russian bombers are landing in Venezuela, bringing in Taliban soldiers to beef up the al Qaeda army already there so Cesar Chavez can capture the entire United States and we will make a gallant last stand in Alaska and … I need my meds after listening to GOP foreign policy.

  129. Will the Army shield Track’s whereabouts in Iraq, like the Brits did for Prince Harry? Or will they just hang his ass out to dry in Anbar?

    More drug-fueled vandalism stories, please!
    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Sara Palin doesn’t blink. You know who else doesn’t blink? Reptiles.

    Cadavers.

  132. non partisan says at 12:56 am, September 13th, 2008

    Hey kids. As an independant thinking guy, I’m really tired of the attacks.

    Let’s be clear, Palin did not make an Iraq, 9-11 link. I’ll wait while you digest that for a sec…

    Today’s Washington Post claims that Gov. Palin falsely equated Saddam Hussein with the 9/11 hijackers at the ceremony yesterday seeing Alaska troops off to Iraq. In reality she said they’d soon be taking on forces aligned with those who hit us on 9/11 - an obviously true statement. Al Qaeda in Iraq is part of Al Qaeda.

    So, I understand you don’t like this war. I personally don’t like war. But it is an act of desperation to take something so obviously out of context and try to SPIN it into something else.

    Other independants are watching, and you guys are making fools of yourselves with the over the top accusations.

    The stuff you’re saying about Palin, you’d never want said about you. Can you guys please grow up?

    Ciao.
