Anyone ever watch BBC America's nightly news program?
Boy, the Republicans are spinning, spinning, spinning. Trying to say that Sarah has more experience than BOTH Obama and Biden now! Good heavens, what in the world kind of juice do they think that Americans drink on a daily basis?

:wtf:

1. I do, usually on a Monday night.
I work second shift the rest of the week. What a breath of fresh air. News, not fluff crap about celebrities. The republicans are saying Sarah Palin is more qualified than both Obama and Biden? What the bloody hell are they drinking or taking for drugs? I need to meet their drug dealer.

3. They had some woman on CNN saying the same thing.
That she has "executive experience" and that Obama and Biden do not.

Larry King just laughed at her, saying you can't tell me that Palin has more experience than Biden.


spin, spin!

4. Yeah, I've heard this new line of pure, unadulterated
MOOSE shit about 15 times today. What a crock of crap. Must be some of that good Alaskan weed I used to hear about when I was in college.

6. Heard one earlier claim that her PTA membership counts as service to America.
These people are unbelievable.

18. I don't know how much longer this is going to
be able to continue though. With this AIP stuff, and then troopergate both of which seem to have real legs. I'm starting to think that some of these posters are right and she is going to go the way of the dodo bird as McCain's VP.

In fact, I remember some speculation out there earlier that McCain would end up getting replaced in favor of Mike Huckabee or someone like that just to shake things up.

8. She apparently can gut a moose like it's nobody's business but hasn't followed the war in Iraq.
She's a wingnut wet dream.

:scared:

10. She actually went after Biden because she has a son that is going to be deployed to Iraq.
Is that hysterical or what?

Somebody needs to tell her to find out about her opponent before she goes after him.

She is starting to remind me of a Barbie Doll.
Pretty on the outside, hollow on the inside.

15. Because Joe and Beau Biden were careful not to reveal
the specifics of his deployment, unlike Sarah who put his entire unit at risk by blabbing all about Track's mission in public.

16. Ohhhhh, that really pissed me and my husband off!!! We've gone
through two deployments now and boy oh boy, you know that info isn't supposed to be blabbed out over a microphone for a round of applause. Actually, I'm perturbed that the media hasn't mentioned anything about that.

23. I'll bet you aren't the only miltary family who picked up on that.
No wonder troops in Iraq are donating 6-to-1 to Obama over McErratic.

13. OMFG Now that one really pisses me off.
What kind of crap runningmate did John McCain pick????? Like the lying about Miss Congeniality thing is funny, but the rest of this shit, it's really bogus. I mean, what if they won and he died of a heart attack from the shock of it!? Shit. Then we'd be stuck with this lady for our President? So much for old Johnny boy putting Country First. Boy oh boy, I hope she keeps saying it, because eventually she'll find out that his son is going too, and then she'll look like even more of an ass.

:banghead:

14. That's all I keep thinking about - McSurge saying "Country First".
Why aren't Dems using this against him?

19. I have always loved your sig cartoon, but I think I might have to
steal it and do a little Photoshopping to replace the donkey with Sarah Palin in a apron. "Voila! My special elephant ass and moose chunks casserole. Chew slowly, or you might CHOKE."

12. The claim is that she has executive experience
and that since both Dems and senators they do not have experience like running a state or even a city. Its shallow and spurious. But thats rethug thinking. Throw anything, everything, until something sticks. And it doesn't have to reach the opposition. It just has to stick for those that already hate the dems. It increases the mindlessness of the right and makes them all the more drones.

17. I missed it tonight, forgot it's actually a week-day
did they correct the spin? They usually are really good at calling a lie (in a polite way).

20. Oh yes, he was ever so genteel about it. lol
He gave her a little more leeway than I'd have liked to see, I would have liked him to point out that if that's the case, she should be top of the ticket considering McCain has never had any "executive" experience either.
