Sarah Palin Torches Alaskan Countryside On Way Out

Tipster “TJBeck” sends us this NASA Earth Observatory “Image of the Day” of Alaska, which is completely on fire. How very “Saddam Hussein” of an exit, Sarah Palin! And nice touch with the targeted scorching of “Little Black One.” [NASA]

    we sure could use her here on the East Coast where it looks like the Russians are rearing their ugly heads.

  2. hockeymom says at 1:17 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Fire Bug.
    I’ll bet she tortured dogs as a child, also.

  3. Scarab says at 1:17 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Isn’t that Egypt?

  4. Alex Trebeks Girl says at 1:21 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Dude, she totally hauled ass and quit in time before the second coming and shit of that nature. Go sarah go!

  5. That’s one helluva book burning.

  6. Setting fire to the entire state is pretty drastic. Do the Palins not own a paper shredder?

  7. Come here a minute says at 1:25 pm, August 5th, 2009

    takes12no1: Now we can’t say Sarah didn’t warn us, but it turns out that Biden is the man on Putin rearing, also — he will dispatch all necessary anti-submarine defense forces to the Delaware beaches, by train.

    If you look closely at the clouds/smoke within the white box, it appears to be two eyes and a forehead. And one of the eyes is winkin’ at’cha. My Lord, SP has sublimated herself.

  9. BadKitty says at 1:28 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Huh, I was wondering where Dick Cheney has been. Anyone else smell sulfur?

  10. Hooray For Anything says at 1:30 pm, August 5th, 2009

    See, that’s what happens when the press starts makin’ things up

  11. TeddyS says at 1:30 pm, August 5th, 2009

    The fire began on Little Black One when the torches and pitchfork mob was passing through.

  12. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 1:30 pm, August 5th, 2009

    It’s probably her attempt of smoke signaling Jesus for the Rapture.

  13. Extemporanus says at 1:34 pm, August 5th, 2009

    takes12no1: The whole clan’s in NYC, right now! (Really.)

    She’s meeting with her book publisher, Todd’s banging Ashley Dupree, and the kids are trying to return their baby brother to FAO Schwartz.

    Stay vigilant, Wonkette Big Apple operatives! And maybe give the FDNY a heads-up, too…

  14. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:35 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Mmmmmm smoked Alaska.

  15. hobospacejunkie says at 1:41 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Now we know why she couldn’t name a single news publication for Katie Couric. She’s been studying Sherman’s march through the south in preparation for her scorched earth departure from Alaska.

  16. George Will' says at 1:41 pm, August 5th, 2009

    She’s obviously burning NObama’s birth certificate

  17. 4tehlulz says at 1:42 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Sarah, most people burn only one cross at a time. Just sayin’.

  18. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 1:43 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Scarab:
    Yeah, let’s not jump to any hasty geographical conclusions here until we get a FOX News fact check.

    Things are not always what they seem. Sometimes scandal ridden R’s are really D’s. Sometimes Iraq is really Egypt. Sometimes WMD’s have really been found even when they haven’t. For all we know, this could be an image of Nobama’s Cash-for-Clunkers Katrina hurricane destroying the nation. Only Fox knows for sure.

  19. 4tehlulz: no, she’s burning bridges…. to no where.

  20. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:45 pm, August 5th, 2009

    To steal from Bobcat Golthwait, that is probably the first time that “on fire” and Sarah Palin have been used in the same paragraph in a long time.

    Still, the comparison to Saddam is apt. I’m pretty sure we won’t find her weapons of mass destruction either.

  21. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 1:45 pm, August 5th, 2009

    If you look closely, you can see SP in a helicopter, dropping fire retardant and shootin wolves.

    Heh, retardant.

  22. Cape Clod says at 1:46 pm, August 5th, 2009

    I guess she left before the moose could take revenge on their tormentor.

  23. freakishlystrong says at 1:46 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Uh, bitch, that’s Big Black One Fire to you…

  24. orange says at 1:48 pm, August 5th, 2009

    When will she start this new Twitter page w/ all the straight talk and shit?

  25. WadISay says at 1:49 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Sarah Palin is the Nostradamus of Alaska. Her farewell address foretold all of this, if only we’d been able to interpret it.

  26. zenferret says at 1:51 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Extemporanus: So is ARod banging Bristol or Willow now?

    Oh and run Dave! She’s a comin’ to mouth rape you too!

  27. McDuff says at 1:51 pm, August 5th, 2009

    I hear Levi needs a job — hand ‘em a shovel and get’r done!

  28. Cape Clod says at 1:52 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Its a shame. The population of Little Black One was growing so fast thay were thinking about changing it’s name to “That One.”

  29. Hooray For Anything says at 1:54 pm, August 5th, 2009

    That’s not out-of-control forest fires, it’s just God keeping Alaskans warm.

  30. Accordion-o-rama says at 1:55 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Her reign should have lasted a thousand years. But since it did not, Alaska must die with her, lest it be overrun and soiled by barbarians from the East (coast).

  31. gurukalehuru says at 1:56 pm, August 5th, 2009

    “Is the little black one on fire?”
    “I dunno, Alaska.”

  32. joezoo says at 1:56 pm, August 5th, 2009

    She salted the earth, too, as a way to get back at Levi’s family. But the poor dear doesn’t realize you don’t “grow” meth, bless her heart.

  33. takes12no1 says at 1:56 pm, August 5th, 2009

    SnarkNotFark: I’ll be damned. You are correct sir/madam. Good eye.

  34. I DO see the good eye… and also the lazy one.

  35. I DO see the good eye…and also the lazy one.

  36. lawrenceofthedesert says at 2:28 pm, August 5th, 2009

    It’s just a spot of residue from the new film, “Cheech & Chong Go Camping.” (Cheech, the former governor should note, is a palindrome.)

  37. Extemporanus says at 2:29 pm, August 5th, 2009

    zenferret: All I know is that the Palin women have a history of fucking, running, and causing uncomfortable burning sensations.

    Mark my words: Before the week is over, the Statue of Liberty will have contracted herpes.

  38. lee hussein oswald says at 2:31 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Sarah Palin says
    that she’d like to know
    why she’s given half her term
    to people she hates now…

  39. the problem child says at 2:33 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Sadly, this may not be the worst thing she has done to the state.

  40. rocktonsammy says at 2:48 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Betcha SP was jogging in them hawt spandex and sparks was a flying burning everything in sight.

  41. DoctorCulturae says at 2:52 pm, August 5th, 2009

    I ain’t fooled. That’s a close-up of a Klingon head.

  42. MO Inkslinger says at 2:56 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Alaska has been plagued with fires, floods, earthquakes and volcanic ash. The only thing remaining are the coming of the locusts and the boils. Perhaps Palin’s resignation will free the people of Alaska or perhaps someone is telling the people of Alaska to run the devil from their midst.

  43. TJBeck says at 2:57 pm, August 5th, 2009

    “Made-Up Rumors”? This is backed by the finest science known to man (NASA, and the Bible)!

  44. Jim89048 says at 3:20 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Extemporanus: Pity that, what with Letterman on vacation and unable to document for eternity.

  45. Jim89048 says at 3:22 pm, August 5th, 2009

    Spontaneous pants-combustion?

  46. S.Luggo says at 4:51 pm, August 5th, 2009

    That’s a view best seen through the bomb sight of a B-52.

  47. Didn’t Palin turn down Federal Stimulus money that could have been used to enhance Alaska’s forest fire fighting abilities? She was right to do it, I guess, since taking the money would have been saying, “you betcha,” to creeping Socialism.

  48. thefrontpage says at 9:59 am, August 6th, 2009

    Meanwhile, on the Palin front:

    New hot-in-love couple Sarah Palin and Larry Craig rolled into Sturgis late Wednesday night on some new, shiny Harleys, and they were an immediate hit at The Buffalo Chip. Craig took tons of pictures of some bare-chested women, Palin was wearing a sexy leopard-skin halter top and short shorts, and they even cranked out some mean versions of “Ten Seconds To Love” and “Shout at the Devil” at the Biker Kareoke Contest at The Whild Hoggs bar. Palin and Craig told folks that they listened to a lot of Motley Crue during their ride from Iowa to Sturgis. They said that they’re heading to Burning Man next, where they’ll host a Bikers and Politicians Community at the annual bohemian arts gathering in the desert.

  49. prophet1195 says at 2:49 pm, August 6th, 2009

    Isn’t she holed up in Murdoch’s cave learnin’ English?

  50. Carson says at 6:13 pm, August 6th, 2009

    There’s so much smoke, you can’t even see Russia no more!
