We are squeezing in as many Sarah Palin stories as we can today, in the hopes that we will never have to type out her name again, whee! She voted this morning, in Wasilla, but refused to tell reporters who she’d voted for. Is she in the tank???
Certainly sounds like it, given this incredibly vague thing she told a cluster of freezing journalists: “I don’t have to tell anybody who I vote for. Nobody does. And that’s really cool about America, also.”
Perhaps she was making an oblique reference to the Employee Free Choice Act, which opponents argue takes away the “secret ballot” in union elections. Or perhaps she was just saying the first thing that popped into her head, which is that there are various cool things about America. Whatever. She will have a chance to explain all of this when she announces her presidential exploratory committee tomorrow.
Thanks to Meagan and Michael for the super-exclusive Palin pic.
Palin votes in Wasilla, talks to reporters [Jonathan Martin]
We need video of Tony Harris trying to contain the giggles.
Going rogue one last time.
I just made the mistake of reading comments on the AOL News story “The sad campaign of John McCain” and some guy called melikecookies has posted a link to this screenshot he says he took of their results page at midnight LAST NIGHT:

Can someone please reassure me this is a forgery and not something more sinister. Please? I’m easily rattled today.
The thing is, she can’t vote for herself without voting for WALNUTS!
How embarassing, doesn’t she know voting is for libtards?
also
If she could talk without a script she could have gone for a laugh by saying she voted for Sarkozy.
What’s with the excessive use of “also”?
JUST FINISH THE SENTENCE WHERE THE SENTENCE ENDS!
She wrote in Hillary Clinton, like all feminists.
So very glad Jonathan Martin quoted the “also” at the end of the sentence, that rilly gets the ol’ point across, doncha know. Also.
Oh please, if there is any MILF out there screaming for a little hot wife interracial action it’s Bible Spice. I am sure more than one link on their favorites list is for interracial lovin’.
I think we all know who she voted for. I mean she obviously wrote in Ron Paul.
I’M MAVERICKY!! I VOTED FOR THE DARKY!!
McOLDY BREATH IS A LUZER!!
GO SP in 2012, 2016, AND 2020!!!!!!1!!!
-SP
Yay! I just voted in Laramie, Wyoming, so my vote does no good in the electoral vote, but I can help a tad in the popular vote.
Also, I voted for every last mother-stabbing terrorist-loving money-stealing Democrat I could find - plus some I just made up.
You know another cool thing about America? You can have all the guns’n'ammo you want. Well, almost. You need a special permit for machine guns. But when I’m veep we’ll fix that! An’ then I’ll make it so you can have yer own nuke-you-lar weapons too — why not?
And here’s another cool thing about America: you can use yer guns to shoot animals from helio-copters, just like in Vietnam! You betcha!
She wrote in her own name. Somewhere in Wasilla is a ballot with MOOSE HUNTER MAVERICK, LOL scribbled in crayon.
I’m saying she voted straight bitter ticket.
Today we are all 47 year old African American Harvard Law Review editors.
…when I heard that she flew back to Alaska I automatically assumed she was in labor again!
Politico commenter helpfully points out the her exercising her “right to privacy” contradicts the views of the opponents of Roe v. Wade! ALSO!
I knew it. She can’t read. Voting was just a random chance thing for her. She really doesn’t know how she voted.
Off topic a bit..didn’t know where to post. I voted just an hour ago. After leaving the middle high school gym I went to my car and broke down…seriously wept. Only recently have I realized just how tattered I’ve by these eight long years of corruption, and down right evil. I’ve been overwhelmed by depresssion, disgust, and seething rage. Now I feel shriven…washed clean in the blood the lamb. Whatever happens now, I know that for the first time in a long time, I just feel plain better about the prospects for our future if a man such as Hopey can go this far.
emberglance: Looks like he got the Diebold feed. Ruh-roh.
She just doesn’t want anyone to know that she is, and has always been, Paultard #1.
I thought Palin costumes were outlawed.
Kathryn Jean Lopez is gay for Palin and her babies. She wants Sarah to divorce her husband and live with her and hunt moose together. These real Lesbian fantasies i know for a fact, rarely come true.
Everyone in the world knows you’re voting for yourself, and you can’t say that? You can’t take the opportunity to say your own name on TV as one last opportunity to self-promote because you’re too busy being an asshole?
Gopherit: Precisely. She made nice patterns with the lines and curly letter thingies. Just like on the SAT
emberglance: I don’t know if that’s for real or not…but I did have a dream a few weeks ago where I was looking at something very much like that picture. Scary.
emberglance: I saw it last night as well, but it’s been cleared out since then. More than likely, it was leftover test data before they pushed the web app live.
I mean, c’mon….it’s AOL, for Chrissakes.
Come here a minute: Yes, I’m also going to end every sentence today with an also, whether it makes grammatical sense or not also!
Clearly she wrote-in “First Dude.”
emberglance: I like cookies, too, also, but not when they’re made out of bullshit, also. Doncha know that screenshot looks like a bullshit cookie. Underbaked, too, also.
Sussemilch: It’s because she wrote in Palin for Pres. and McCain for Veep.
God, I hate this woman. Please, please, please crawl back into belly of that Tauntaun on that frozen
tundra known as planet Hoth. You are a very ugly princess Lea.
God, I am so sick of her voice. ALSO!!
emberglance: Well, I can’t reassure you, but I can thank you for inflicting upon me a deep paranoia that will last the rest of the day.
She always did poorly on multiple choice tests. There were no questions about field dressing animals or favorite sports mascots.
This was just another of those fuckin’ gotcha questions.
I bet she’s so into this ‘going rogue’ thing that she wrote herself in—not realizing she’s actually on the ballot… officially.
emberglance: The numbers on that are WAY low.
slappypaddy: NO IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!!!! But thanks for the reassurance. I’ve taken a deep breath and I’m going to turn off the “Internet” for a bit… Maybe read a book or something.
Each “Also” makes me just a little bit crazier. I don’t think I’ll make it to see the 9pm EST results. Mom!
Palin’s in the tank for Japan.
Arturo Bandini: Sorry. I should have kept it to myself.
Styrofoam Boots:I hope her idea of “going rogue” is the same as John Kerry’s “going commando”
emberglance: It appears to be a fake - If you look above the chart showing overall EV totals, it then shows the various states all with 0% figures, which I would assume are precincts reporting or vote percentages. The EV total says 100% reporting, so it would appear to be contradictory and most likely someone just simply made their own image for a joke.
ALSO, the overall vote totals are incredibly low; ~100 million voters? No way, not this time, there are estimates it will reach 140 million this time around.
Fuck. The word salad that comes out of her mouth is mind-numbing. It’s like listening to a moderately-retarded, schizophrenic homeless person try to explain behaviorism to a pigeon.
On a related note, it seems she has the endorsement of the adult entertainment industry:

emberglance: To be fair, it doesn’t take much to make me paranoid. At least, that’s what my neighbor’s dog told me this morning.
MarieDeGournay: I hear you…except for that ‘blood of the lamb’ part, as I’m an atheist.
But still…wash the stinking piles of manure from the White House - it’s about damn time.
She voted herself Preznit Of Most Stuffs, and also etc.
I also voted today, also. Also I voted for Barack Obama, also.
cal: When Palin costumes are outlawed only outlaws will have 150,000 wardrobes.
…go to Hell loser, also.
All, for one last time, repeat after me:
“In what respect Charlie?”
NotAnEvilLobbyist: Also, Alan Keyes with 250,000 votes or the Socialist Workers’ Party earning 150,000 votes from 5,000 in 2004? Methinks not.
emberglance: The same numbers are being reported by KMPH: http://videos.pappastv.com/kmph/news/political/national/WEBRUNDO.HTM
MarieDeGournay: No kidding. It is only beginning to dawn on me that we can begin to fix some of the chaos that Bush and his cohort of thieves, murderers and traitors have created since January, 2001.
Even with two wars and a collapsing economy, a President who can think and who has the backing of Congress means this hope thing might work. also
Is that Scott McClellan?
Monkey: Yeah right…like she would actually vote for Walnuts! for VP…she wrote in her future husband Joe the Plumber…
She probably doesn’t want to to know that she voted for Stevens.
“Witnesses report hearing Palin mumble ‘When in doubt, always choose C’ to herself while filling out her ballot.”
smooshie: Right. McCain has 48M votes after 1% of the precincts have reported. Ok.
emberglance: I told you guys this already. 274 will be Walnuts total, but the popular vote will be a bit closer.
emberglance: THERE’S NO WRITE-IN VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!!!! THE NWO + NAU ARE TRYING TO STOP THE RevolUTION!!!!!
grendel: Why do you keep doing this?
http://www.ctsportscards.com/images/products/2926.jpg
Honestly, she probably wrote herself in.
emberglance: Not enough total electoral votes.
grendel: No fucking possible way.
What’s fun is that our current president/lord and master, G.W. Bush, voted for himself while softly chanting “four more years!”
Sussemilch: Hahah… after the “votes” are “tallied”
magic titty: I’m just preparing myself for the eventual heartache.
Smart lady - she simply realizes that the ticket won’t gain much from an endorsement by the likes of her.
Did anyone check her ballot for hanging chads? I wouldn’t want her vote for Obama to get thrown out over a technicality.
answerbird: Unless Pennsylvania was too close to call (21 ev). It’s GOP wishful thinking, and I’d love to know how they independently stumbled on the same 8-digit bullshit numbers.
emberglance: It’s a shop. I can tell from a few pixels and having seen a few shops in my time.
I used to work with a guy who had an interesting management theory. Basically people are either smart or dumb, lazy or ambitious. You hire the smart, lazy people as managers, the smart ambitious people as your front-line workers, your dumb, lazy people as your worker bees or drones, and you get rid of the dumb, ambitious ones because they’ll drive you out of your fucking mind with crackpot ideas that they’re dieing to try out. Here’s hoping Bible Spice infests the Repugs with her half-baked nutball ideas for the next four fucking years.
Today we are all mavericky. Wasilla-y. Whatever.
She voted straight ballot for the Alaska Independence Party, also.
AngryBlakGuy: win!
grendel: But it hurts my face.
She voted for Barry but is too much of a coward to admit it.
MarieDeGournay: What is with the crying? I just called a lady in Florida, she is elderly and waiting for her daughter to pick her up so she can go vote for Hopey, she made me sadz and cry, cause she stays at home and takes care of her handicapped daughter. Take that Wicked Witch of Wasilla, we have real PEOPLE also, with real dreams!
She should be happy they banned literacy tests for voting back in the 60s.
I always preferred sanity tests, anyway. “Do you believe Adam and Eve cavorted with dinosaurs? Yes?!? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY POLLING PLACE!”
MarieDeGournay: I am starting to hate that phrase “Whatever happens now.” We have one option with 2 paths; Muslim president when we awake Wednesday morning after rockin’ election parties, or Muslim president when we awake Wednesday morning after bloody cannibalistic race riots. I don’t see any room for a gray area here.
magic titty: I am going to puke.
magic titty: Sorry… it’s probably a joke… I hope…
emberglance: Well that doesn’t add up to enough…so…
AngryBlakGuy: She is. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1117/846886634_cd91b1bc56.jpg?v=0
When she got into the booth, God told her that she should just skip the whole VP thing and wait and run for The Big One in 2012. So she cast a vote for Hopey. And Ted Stevens also.
grendel: No, judging by the amount of voters in the deep, deep red state of Georgia, there might be some sort of phase state change from red to blue for Hopey. And if Georgia does that, no state is safe from the blue tide (except Texas where Tom Delay blesses each ballot individually).
I predict 300-330 electoral votes for Hopey. I get the feeling even the national polls have misunderestimated the dynamic.
“I’m not very b-r-i-t-e. But still I can vote. And that’s really cool about America, also.”
She obviously voted only for the Alaskan Secessionist party, and is looking forward to setting up the Republican Government in Exile in the Free Republic of Alaska.
Tomthebunny: +1.
I’d bet dollars to donuts (is that the saying???) that she wrote in SARA PALIN, AKA CARIBOU BARBIE!!! Screw Palin 2012, she wants it NOW!!!
Did anyone else notice how she said she’s hoping to “wake up” to find she’s Veep? So she’s planning to sack out before 9? Mayhaps because she knows how she voted?
What was that movie that had cops talking about how to tell if you’ve got a murderer in custody, in that he’ll be the one of your suspects in holding that’s sleeping in the morning? Granted, my English in wine-infested, but you get my drift, yeah? HENGH????
Lily Brown: ‘Also’ is the new ’such as’.
She was really flattered to hear that she was going rogue because she thought they meant “going rouge”. How nice of the liberal elite media to notic.
Let’s hope this is the last we hear from this idiot for a while:

“Tell your maw,

gonna send ya back to Wasilla…”
For the upcoming Electoral College drinking game, how many drinks will it be for a Republican elector that puts Palin’s name in for president?
