WAIT A MINUTE!

Palin is 44 years old. Assuming that she was 8 when she started second grade, that must have been in the fall of 1972.

Biden was sworn in as a senator in the January of 1973.

So how is it possible for Palin to listen to Biden's speeches in the senate since she was a second grader? :wtf:

Why are the media not calling her on these damn lies. :argh:

More importantly, is not she a Christian? Why the hell is she lying so much? Is not that a sin?

1. Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972.

2. 2003? Where you been?

Biden has been in the senate since 1972.

6. Good thing you didn't say 'yeesh' n/t

[1corona4u]

8. Why?

I've never said 'yeesh'. Sheesh...and Jeez....but never 'yeesh'.

[thewiseguy]

7. It was a typo. I meant to say 1973.

[sandnsea]

3. For his 6th term

He was first elected in 1972.

4. Umm, what?

Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972

5. Some are...

She said the following:

I'm looking forward to meeting too. I've never met him before. But I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade."

Two things: when Palin was in Second Grade, Biden hadn't been elected to the Senate. And when she was in third grade, do you really believe she was hearing about speeches by Joe Biden? Who in the national press corps at the time were hearing about Biden's speeches in 1972?

She just lies. She can't help herself. She has a serious psychological problem: making stuff up, imagining things happened when they didn't, saying one thing in one interview and then directly contradicting herself in the next. She makes Stephen Glass look like George Washington. It's pathological. My list of undeniable factual lies from Palin is here:

9. Maybe she had to repeat 2nd grade.

If her college career is any indicator...

10. Wait another minute to use Wikipedia before posting

and you will save yourself major embarrassment next time.

11. Excuse me?

19. I was responding to your original post -- the typo with 2003

Then you corrected it. And now it is just no big deal.

Oooooooh, she was off by SEVERAL MONTHS !! Oooooh ! She said 1972, the date he was elected but he wasn't inaugurated until 1973! Oh wow lordy lordy !!

[thewiseguy]

21. She specifically went for the year he was elected

That was no accident

[Overseas]

24. I just don't see a big story in Sep 72 vs Jan 73.

No reason for the dramatic statement "it was no accident."

[nyhuskyfan]

12. Honestly

It's just a throwaway line - probably written for her - that wasn't meant to be a statement of fact. Let's not get bent out of shape over that one when there's so much more substantive things to go after her on.

I truthfully would wager that she has never heard Biden speak in her life before the last month or two. I don't think C-Span has been on the list of favorites in the Palin household.

[DevonRex]

13. I caught that, too. And even if we ignore the dates, how can anybody

believe she actually LISTENED to Biden when she was in grammar school? Hell, she doesn't even read newspapers NOW.

[TuxedoKat]

14. Well

as a freshman senator I doubt Biden was making speeches that drew national attention much before the late '70s or early '80s, which would have put Palin in HS then as she graduated from HS in '82. Somehow I doubt she was paying attention to Senate speeches in HS either.

[Obamarama]

15. First of all, who would REMEMBER such a thing from second grade.

Jesus on a freakin' trailer hitch, I can barely remember my CLASSMATES from 2nd grade. My parent's knew our then Governor of Michigan William Milliken. Our neighbors were good friends with Gerald Ford and his family...the Fords used to visit them from time to time when Ford was a representative and they were back in MI.

Point is: I had a strong connection to two governmental leaders as a 2nd grader. I knew who they were and that they were important, AND I had actually MET them. BUT, even with that strong of connection I can't recall ever seeing/listening to one of their speeches. GIMME A FUCKING BREAK!

Like we're supposed to believe that she was an astute 2nd grader listening to Biden's speeches in the middle of BFE?

I just want to slap the shit out of this moron!

[mscuedawg]

16. Palin's "type" of Christian...

...uses the Bible for their own agenda...just as her running mate is using his POW status for HIS own political agenda...

And those who support this abuse of their faith, should burn too... :mad:

[tkmorris]

17. In January of '73, she was in the second grade

Palin is ridiculous, the worst VP nominee I've ever seen, but she WAS in the second grade when Biden entered office. Find something real to go after, there's plenty to choose from.

[mscuedawg]

18. This whole "situtaiton" is a touche to the lipstick thing...

Think about it...

She says the lipstick joke...

Obama says "lipstick on a pig and its still a pig"....::CROWD ROARS INTO LAUGHTER::


GOP freak..."He said it BECAUSE Palin used the lipstick joke! He called her a PIG! Everyone KNEW it was in reference to her lipstick thing...thats why they laughed!!!"


Now we have Palin saying (in her condescending, Edie McClurg tone) "I heard Biden speak (dramatic pause to hit the point home)...when I was in second grade"....::CROWD ROARS INTO LAUGHTER::


Excuse me, Governor Palin...WHO is playing GOTCHA POLITICS? Pallleeeeeeeeze...this is all laughable.

[seabeyond]

20. further, at 44 she is not politically aware, we know damn sure at 8 she wasnt listening

to delaware senator.....

it is all stupid. a stupid joke about him being old and her not. the really stupid

is it shows at a young age biden success, were hers was so limited and puts a spotlight on mccains age

[LiberalHeart]

22. Isn't the real news here that she got as far as the second grade?

[hamsterjill]

23. Now you meanies!!! Give lil Sarah a break, here!!

She didn't say since she was in second grade. She said since she was LIKE in second grade...

{Sarcasm, of course}
