Sarah Palin Calls Herself & Supporters Alien Race

Must. Go.Seems like some reporter here doesn’t much know how to transcribe Palinese: “And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today, it’s like a truth serum where when he’s there, he seems to be more candid, and remember it was there that he talked about, there you go, the bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, you know holding on to religion and guns and, um, so something about he being there in San Francisco.” It is spelled “Klingon,” as in, “Sarah Palin is a horribly mean space alien called a Klingon, and these are her Klingon friends.” This word is so much better than “Bitter.” So we’ll give this transcriber a free pass — BUT ONLY ONCE, SEE? Also: Jesus, did anyone understand any of that quote?? [CNN]

    Sadly, The Constitution grants her the right to speak….like a fucking moron.

  2. choinski says at 1:41 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Today is a good day for her career to die.

  3. A: No.

  4. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 1:41 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Seeing her words transcribed makes me. need. liquor.

  5. 4tehlulz says at 1:41 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    This picture choice seems to imply that Joe Biden is a furry. Are you saying Joe Biden is a furry?

  6. You try getting fisted in the ass all night and then the next day not being honest about your plans to take over America.

  7. NewSpence says at 1:42 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Two words.
    Oral Suppository.

  8. Alex Trebeks Girl says at 1:43 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    This is the most sexist crap I’ve ever read. Shame on wonkette. Lazy media.

  9. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 1:43 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    It was bitter clingons with guns, Barbie. At least get it right when you slander That One.

  10. I think “dingleberry” was the word she was looking for.

  11. Liverspots says at 1:44 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    It all started when George Takei got gay married….

  12. Viva la Cynthia says at 1:45 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    FreshCliches: And we’re violating that right of hers at this very second, guyz!

  13. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 1:45 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    BobLoblawLawBlog: I dare anyone to diagram a sentence (and I use that term loosely/Bristol-y) from any Bible Spice quote. To anyone who tries, make sure you have excellent health insurance before you make an attempt. You may need a brain surgeon to mop up the mess.

  14. Viva la Cynthia says at 1:46 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    4tehlulz: The VP debate would have been infinitely more watchable if he was.

  15. FreshCliches: It’s her constitutional right to speak in incomplete sentences.

  16. choinski says at 1:46 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Forget the cling-ons, what about the bitter Klingers? Is Jamie Farr still in the army and pissed about it?

  17. …Is she trying to imply that BO is gay? Deriving gay libtard truthiness power from his crystal palace in SF, like fucking superman? Or is she calling him Superman? …so confused.

  18. BillyClubb says at 1:46 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    And Sarah adds: “It’s the far-left wing of the [Democratic ]party is getting ready to take over the entire federal government.”

    Like I didn’t already expect that. Geez, lady, gimme some news I don’t know in my heart is true.

  19. She’s like a blog for people who can’t figure out how to turn on the computer.

  20. SayItWithWookies says at 1:47 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    “Just yesterday, revelation, an audiotape surfaces,” Palin argued, despite the fact that the Obama interview has been posted online for nine months.

    That’s in keeping with her idea that 4.6 billion years is about the same as 6,000 years.

  21. Mr Blifil says at 1:48 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I wondered how long until somebody played the Alien Race Card.

    Join me in supporting a ban on Klingon Marriage

    http://www.askthelawguy.info/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/klingwed1.jpg

    It is an abomination.

  24. NoWireHangers says at 1:49 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I’m just waiting for her head to explode from all this thinking. Well, I guess it’s not really thinking. Hmm, not sure what word to use. I guess, I’ll just say that I see Bible Spice as robot on the verge of meltdown.

  25. thesycophant says at 1:49 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I was skimming and thought that was one of those Hilarious Wonkette Exaggeratino Quotes (hwecks), but then I saw that it was actually really from Sarah Palin and somehow I found another piece of me inside that could still die.

  26. Barack Obama wants to take away your bat’leths!

  27. Aloysius says at 1:50 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    In space, no one can hear Sarah Palin field dress the English language.

  28. freakishlystrong says at 1:52 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Huwahhh? I beg of you Jim, send the pic to her campaign, it perfectly encapsulates this whole long nightmare…

  29. obfuscator says at 1:52 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Jesus, she’s so fucking horribly delicious.

  30. Whiskeybaby says at 1:53 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Forming coherent sentences: ur doing it wrong.

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:55 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    They mentioned San Francisco, so you know it was some sort of smear.

  32. Viva la Cynthia says at 1:55 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Also from CNN today, this guy who is still wrestling with “moral issues” and so he’s still undecided about who to vote for: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/03/undecided.voters/index.html

    I’m pretty sure those moral issues are, “If I tell people who I’ve decided to vote for, then no one will care what I think as an undecided voter anymore! Halp! i needz teh attenshun!”

  33. Uncle Al says at 1:57 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    tremendous: Ha ha, I love Ralph Wiggum….

  34. SayItWithWookies says at 1:57 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    MathewBrooks: Oh, my — I’m all for equal rights and everything — but where do I sign up?

  35. Alien race? Mexican or Canadian?

  36. FreshCliches says at 1:57 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    “And there must be something about San Francisco and he because it’s like I heard on Fox News today….

    Now THERE’S the litmus test for any future candidate once Hopey rides into DC on the back of his Unicorn.

    See you in ‘16, Republicans. Hopefully, you’ll have recaptured your party from The Raptured.

  37. Hopey dont play that game says at 1:57 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Without the filter of the librul media her speech flows like William F. Buckley (if he was brain-damaged, disoriented, and re-programmed in Fargo).

  38. jodyleek says at 1:57 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Stupid is as stupid speaks.

  39. Johnny Zhivago says at 1:59 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Bitter Klingons are the ones who had their ray-guns taken away from them.

  40. 23 Skidoo says at 1:59 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I think if Jack Cafferty reads this transcript, his head will explode. Sweet Lord, she is as dumb as they come.

  41. Johnny Zhivago says at 2:00 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Under the bus, you go, Sarah!!!

  42. Mista Eko says at 2:00 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Revenge is a dish best served with over 300 Electoral Votes.

  43. Sarah Palin (vp@whitehouse.gov) says at 2:00 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I!!??!!1!

  44. Just seems like this is a good time for a sing-a-long

    So bye-bye, miss american pie.
    Drove my chevy to the levee,
    But the levee was dry.
    And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
    Singin’, “this’ll be the day that I die.
    “this’ll be the day that I die.”

  45. MathewBrooks says at 2:02 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    These bitter Klingons have their own translation of the Bible too!
    http://klv.mrklingon.org/

  46. Neon Trotsky says at 2:02 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    This reminds me of a certain Colbert Report:

    Palin’s not the first Klingon-American Republican…

  47. Custerwolf says at 2:05 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Hey Sarah - what’s the difference between a Porsche and a pile of dead babies?
    I don’t have a Porsche in my garage.

  48. V572625694 says at 2:06 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    dano: NoWireHangers: If she weren’t allowed to speak this way, you’d have to worry about the First Amendment.

  49. San Fran Cisco. Global Djs

  50. MathewBrooks says at 2:11 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    bago: Thump thump thump…if you’re goin…to San-fran-cisco….thump thump

  51. Tommy Says Soooo says at 2:11 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    How do you say “queeb” in Klingon?

  52. FreshCliches says at 2:12 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Mista Eko: Do you require credit/acknowledgment/copyright, because I’m so stealing that for the next 48 hours.

  53. fuckinredneck says at 2:13 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Klingons definitely do cling-on to their guns. Also their curved swordy things.

    But Obama’s definitely got the black Vulcan vote sewed up: http://www.starfleet-knights.com/Pictures/tuvok.jpg

  54. MathewBrooks says at 2:14 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    fuckinredneck: Obama will take away your Bat’leth!

  55. blinky_twinkie says at 2:14 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: I have tried. Oh, good Lordy Lordy mah frend Jeebus who lurvs and heps me, have I tried. Her oral gesticulations defy all sober attempts at diagramming… Oh. My bad.

    Well, if San Francisco passes Measure K and legalizes prostitution, I will be able to get drunk and stoned off my ass when I solicit sex while Twittering the diagrams of her concession speech. Hail Jeebus.

  56. Mista Eko says at 2:14 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    FreshCliches: Hah. Go for it.

  57. PerhapsSo says at 2:16 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Ha, I went to college with the guy who wrote that. Hoya Saxa, Peter Hamby!!

  58. We are all Klingons now. Does that mean we have to attend the conventions?

  59. Cogito Ergo Bibo: Are there Klingons without guns?

  60. fuckinredneck says at 2:19 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    MathewBrooks: He will take your Bat’leth, make it legal for warriors to marry, and will negotiate with the Romulans without preconditions! THAT NEUTRAL ZONE’S THERE FOR A REASON, BUB!

  61. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 2:22 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I assume the Klingons won the bowling tournament since the furries DON’T HAVE ANY FUCKING FINGERS.

    Yeah, I know it’s off-topic, but that poster interests me far more than Palin’s latest gaffe at this point.

  62. pondscum says at 2:22 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Custerwolf: Thanks. I just spit all over my monitor.
    Can we start the dead baby jokes now?

  63. coolcatdaddy says at 2:24 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    “Cling-ons”?

    Isn’t that some new brand of diaper or something?

  64. MathewBrooks says at 2:27 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    fuckinredneck: hahaha WIN

  65. the invisible woman says at 2:30 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Hopey dont play that game: Your name shouldn’t have “game.” If your name is derived from Homey the Clown of In Living Color fame, it’s “Homey, don’t play that.” Hence. “Hopey, don’t play that.” Getting this right is just as important as voting. You accidentally exposed your whiteness, didn’t you?

  66. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 2:33 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    grendel: Maybe dead Klingons don’t have guns; and yet, I somehow still think they carry them to their graves in case there are Romulans in the next life.

  67. norbizness says at 2:38 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    The reporter forgot *****WINK***** and ****STARBURST**** at the end of the quote.

  68. Tommy Says Soooo says at 2:40 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Hahaha, nutbar Wendy Button responds to the vicious dumping of Wonktards and others on her at the Daily Beast:

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2008-10-31/hot-button/

  69. liquiddaddy says at 2:41 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Does she mean Klingons on Uranus?

  70. Danko Ramone says at 2:44 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Given she clearly speaks a different, as yet unknown to the rest of humanity language, maybe she IS part of an alien race.

    http://www.bustergetmypills.com

  71. Outstando says at 2:50 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Palin in a Star Trek porn would make bank. Plus, the Klingon currency is strong against the dollar.

  72. skroocap says at 2:50 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    She’s a poet. You need the line breaks to get it:

    Something About San Francisco and He

    And there must be something
    about San Francisco and he

    because it’s like I heard
    on Fox News today,
    it’s like a truth serum
    where when he’s there,
    he seems to be
    more candid,
    and remember it was there
    that he talked about,
    there you go,
    the bitter clingers,
    the cling-ons,
    all of us,
    I guess,
    you know
    holding on to religion
    and guns and,

    um,

    so something about
    he being there
    in San Francisco.

  73. Crazybroad says at 2:53 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Cogito Ergo Bibo: Here you go darling! Not even the most experienced grammarian could do it (but damned if she didn’t try)!

    “Diagramming Sarah: Can Palin’s Sentences Stand Up to a Grammarian?”

    http://www.slate.com/id/2201158/

  74. I guess Cindy is cutting Sarah in on “the good stuff” now. She probably IS seeing Klingons, at this point.

  75. Paterlanger says at 2:55 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    I want the change. I’m in deserverance of the change. And so give me my change and let these two fuckranauts, klingon or otherwise, fuck-off and get out of the way of my change.

  76. One Yield Regular says at 3:01 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    skroocap: That’s not bad.

    Sheesh. What IS it with these Republicans and their histrionic San Francisco phobia?

    But maybe she’s on to something. When she stopped by the Hyatt at SFO last month, she told the gathering how happy she was to be in Marin County. The only way you can simultaneously be in Marin AND at SFO is through some kind of Klingon hyperspace voodoo.

  77. slappypaddy says at 3:07 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    She is living proof of the long-term damage that results from watching too much television.

  78. qwerty42 says at 3:16 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    So we get to be ruled by either the Klingons or the Furries? Not the Romulans or Cardassians? Or the Borg? cripes.

  79. Rusty Shackleford says at 3:26 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    How come every time she opens her mouth, it makes me think of Alex Karras’ character in “Blazing Saddles?”

    In that context, “Mongo merely pawn in game of life” takes on an entirely new meaning.

  80. GollyGeeWilly says at 3:41 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Are you fucking kidding me? Retards call her retarded!!!

  81. Joey Ratz says at 3:45 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Tommy Says Soooo: Um… So, she’s a Democratic speechwriter who decided to vote for WALNUTS! because the Dems were mean to Joe the Plumber and thus proved they hate the working class? WTF?

    She’ll fit right in at the Palin household.

  82. renttoowncoitus says at 5:32 pm, November 3rd, 2008

    Actually, I’ve partied with Sarah and Bristol and they are both insatiable.

  83. Why is it that I can see her dumb ass refusing to concede the election even if McCain concedes?

  84. I think it’s so beautiful that they’re transcribing her word-for-word; you can’t look at that with a straight face and argue that she’s qualified for anything except a “Flowers for Algernon” cold read. She makes Dubya sound like Atticus fucking Finch, and that, “my friends,” is a tall order.
