  • Confused ironist Sarah Palin used the secret alias “Tina Fey” to check into a hotel. [Top of the Ticket]
  • Palin did this interview called “Question from a Third Grader,” in which she fielded technical, jargon-filled queries like “what does a Vice President do?” from journalistic heavyweight/eight-year-old Brandon Garcia, who’s interviewed every Vice President since Richard Nixon. It was classic Gotcha Journalism, and all Palin could do was talk about how her second husband Piper asks her that all the time and spit out some garbled, half-English nonsense about gettin’ in and helpin’.

If Oprah can get 200,000 house wives to read Faulkner, there is little doubt she can get 200,000 to vote for a Mussulman.

“…journalistic heavyweight/eight-year-old Brandon Garcia, who’s interviewed every Vice President since Richard Nixon.”

Wha?! Brandon’s been in the eighth grade since Nixon? No Child Left Behind has really been a failure.

BobLoblawLawBlog October 21, 2008 at 3:14 pm

OPRAH? As in “Our Pithy Rhymes As Humor”? That infomercial will be hilarious! And to the point!

Secessionist Sarah wants to rule the Senate with her ironlady fist of freedom.

Wal-Mart moms are far too busy beating and screaming at their numerous offspring to be bothered.

SayItWithWookies October 21, 2008 at 3:25 pm

So if McCain/Palin win, the evil overlord will be played by the president, and the idiot who can’t talk his/her way out of a paper bag will be the VP? No wonder they’re the candidates of change.

BillyClubb October 21, 2008 at 3:25 pm

“Palin… ordered copies of the New York Daily News, Post, Times and USA Today. “

Sounds like Palin was afraid Katie Couric would drop by and again ask the question “What newspapers do you read?”. Then Palin could yell out “all of ‘em, just like I said!”

Min October 21, 2008 at 3:26 pm

That OPRAH. It scares me.

Sarah must have holes in her brain. Maybe she got mad moose disease from all those delicious mooseburgers.

In charge of the United States Senate? I shudder to think what she imagines that might mean.

Holy shit! Is crazy wearing a red leather suit in that clip? What the hell? Does that strike anybody else as weird?

[re=141689]BillyClubb[/re]: Do you think she chose those because they have pretty pictures and pointless articles with no meaning? Did The Economist use too many big, European words?

Someone should let Brandon know that she is wrong, and the VP has almost no power whatsoever in the Senate to be helpin’ or votin’ or policy makin’ or anythin’

Bob Hopeless October 21, 2008 at 4:03 pm

As a parent I can tell you that at eight years old children go through what is commonly known as the “gotcha phase”.

Itsjustme October 21, 2008 at 4:05 pm

Then Brandon stumped the bitch by asking her “what qualifies you to be Vice President of the United States?”

Democratica October 21, 2008 at 4:05 pm

[re=141660]spencer[/re]: Well, let’s be honest, she got $200K of ‘em to BUY Faulkner… now they just need to press the button on their diebold machines (think of it like a giant iPhone!)

President Beeblebrox October 21, 2008 at 4:06 pm

WTF? Does Palin ever have any idea what she’s talking about? I guess this goes along with the concept of the unitary executive and that “flexible role” for the VP she described in the debate with Biden. ‘Cause, y’know, that crappy stuff in the Constitution is all outdated, like Article I, Section 3, Article II, Section 1, the 12th Amendment, the 20th Amendment, and the 25th Amendment.

Unless “Amendment” is the name of her next kid…

She’s wearing that Michael Jackson Thriller jacket. So she’s a child molester too, probably. And would stab Paul McCartney in the back in a second, if given the chance.

longjohnson October 21, 2008 at 5:13 pm

I all seriousness, I had no idea how literally ill informed Palin was until I watched her answer the question relating to the position of Vice President.

She literally marks the trail for leaders that exude stupidity.

McCain and his cohorts (selection committee) must have been deluded by the absence of pussy in their own lives. Perhaps, this elementary formula will help to assist those who were equally stunned as to how Republicans get or do not get laid. Eg. factor p = (-v * n) – v being lack of pussy and n, the number of years that there has been an absence of any pussy within a ten mile radius.

Brandon shit his pants 7 seconds into her answer.

What Sarah doesn’t know is that Brandon Garcia attends an elementary school in ‘Not Real’ Virginia and lurves both polar bears and teh Blacks. GOTCHA, SARAH!

So the GuvTard wants 3rd graders to know that they NEVER have to learn to talk like a grownup. YEAH!

somelegalbitch October 21, 2008 at 7:44 pm

I’m starting to think she might actually be retarded. Like Charlize Theron in Arrested Development.

canary October 21, 2008 at 8:52 pm

The photos that John McCain uses from his Walmart video are on istockphoto.com. I’ve used them for my own site. They also all happen to be the pictures of black families. Couldn’t he get pictures of genuine McCain supporters?

You can see the istockphotos here:

rupert_pupkin October 21, 2008 at 11:38 pm

“In charge of the Senate”?!?! Hasn’t this potential stand in for old man McCain ever hear of the Constitution? Separation of powers ring a bell? I think we learned that in the third grade…

One Yield Regular October 22, 2008 at 12:49 am

The attention being paid to her description of the Vice President’s role is really misplaced here (I mean, of COURSE she believes the Vice-President’s role is to control the Senate – is this surprising to anyone?).

The real attention here needs to be paid to her concluding her answer by saying, in pitch-perfect Mormonspeak: “‘ppreciate you.”
