October 6, 2008

Ha Ha, It’s Sarah Palin’s Historic Doodle

by Jim Newell  

Uhh: “On a recent reporting trip to Alaska, TNR senior editor Noam Scheiber came across a piece of paper from an old Wasilla city budget, on the back of which Palin doodled and brainstormed her potential mayoral campaign themes (‘time for a change,’ ‘you would be my boss!’) and qualifications (‘life-long alaskan,’ ‘NRA supporter,’ ‘taxpayer!’).” The PDF is kind of comical but mostly illegible. Still, good lord this woman makes it tough. It is the job of COMEDIANS to PRETEND that the dumb governor likes to doodle about her silly ambitions on the back of government-held paper.

Narcissism is a real bitch and is running for VEEP.

Sarah Palin can write her own name?! Once again, she DEFIES expectations.

Johnny Zhivago October 6, 2008 at 2:25 pm

You know what they say about people who doodle 4 pointed stars!

WagTehGod October 6, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Is that a **starburst** right next the 87?

FMA October 6, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Satire was brutally slain earlier this month, found bound and gagged and strangled with moose entrails. The suspect, Sarah Palin, remains at large.

Kev-O-Tron October 6, 2008 at 2:27 pm

Other qualifications are: eternally pregnant, cute! and submissive during roll plays (related to ‘you would be my boss’). Actually, I think I read this in the local alt-weekly personal ads.

HIROHITO99 October 6, 2008 at 2:27 pm

It would have been nice if she had scrawled the interlocked VH (Van Halen symbol) or Def Leapord somewhere on this thing. Otherwise… she’s really just one of the most simple minded people to have ever lived isn’t she? I mean, this is no joke is it? She’s really that stupid!

Dave J. October 6, 2008 at 2:27 pm

Hmmm, wonder if she has mania? She kind of starts off orderly, does a bulleted list with education, but by the end you can tell she’s like “oh, shit, THAT’S a good idea, and, oooh, talk about taxes–but not too much!!!–and then, oooh yeah, that’s good, write that down, no, fuck, cross that out, oh yeah, Mayor, and, what 87/year, yeah, good, oooh, list those names, yeah…”

Tommy Says Soooo October 6, 2008 at 2:29 pm

The fact that she would trace around her last name just shows how much she likes getting boofed by Todd.

ParallelComics October 6, 2008 at 2:30 pm

[re=122448]HIROHITO99[/re]: She scrawled the Van Halen symbol in her child’s name, what more do you want?

SayItWithWookies October 6, 2008 at 2:30 pm

I like “Part of the Bureaucracy.” How about, “Same awful shit, prettier package” for a slogan?

NoWireHangers October 6, 2008 at 2:31 pm

At least she didn’t dot the ‘i’ with a heart or a tiny pitbull. Although, I doubt she could draw the latter…or the former for that matter. Really I’m just surprised she spelled her name correctly.

Texan Bulldoggette October 6, 2008 at 2:31 pm

Where’s the “I heart Todd” line with xoxoxo written all around it? And does she really think “Part of the Bureaucracy” is a good political tagline? (Sigh…in which she spelled bureaucracy wrong.)

ParallelComics October 6, 2008 at 2:32 pm

Of course, John McCain’s youthful doodles are in a national history museum in DC as the earliest examples of documents written in the colonies.

Geddit, because he’s old!!

Next time I see Palin, I’m going to teach her this awesome way to turn the word ‘fuck’ into ‘Flyers’ that I learned in sixth grade.

“life-long Alaska”

Does the University of Idaho have an Alaska branch?

mattbolt October 6, 2008 at 2:39 pm

Whoa whoa, it gets cut off at the top, but she wrote “Annexation from…” from what? Annex Alaska from America?? WHAT IS YOUR REAL PLAN

Also, her blabbering at the bottom has several instances of misusing the apostrophe. I mean, I don’t want to sound like a LIBRUL ELITIST but for fuck’s sake, people in high-ranking roles should be able to spell at a seventh-grade level

[re=122507]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: “If McCain wins the election, we’ve got just as much work to do as if Obama won,” DeLay said. “I’ve known McCain for 23 years, and McCain’s hard to swallow.”

More: “His stance on global warming, immigration, campaign finance, affirmative action,” DeLay said, “it’s just a whole list of things that is not going to appeal to conservative Republicans. And if he becomes president, teaming up with the Democrats, we’re going to have a lot of work to do to stop them.”

Hmmmm. I don’t know that McCain would be “teaming up” with anyone on anything. DeLay and Gingrich. Man I wish those guys shared a prison cell. I wish the fleas of a thousand camels would infest their armpits. I wish…how many more wishes I got?

thx for letting me in. :)

Too bad she is not Obama’s Veep. The slogan would be “Vote for Hopey & Dopey”.

facehead October 6, 2008 at 3:11 pm

OOOOOOOOOO! I just had a happy thought to share with everyone.

So, Obama will win this election (unless they find out about his illegitimate white baby), and then…after four years, we get another election… which means… SARAH PALIN WILL RUN AGAIN!!! Maybe even for presidential candidate for the repubs (if not as Veep). Of course, she’ll lose that too, and in the meantime we get more Tina Fey, more moose jokes, o dear, we are all blessed.

The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.
