Which is more embarassing? Gov. Palin or Gov. Blagojevich?

[ddeclue]

Would you rather move from IL to AK or from AK to IL?

Palin is apparently whining (someone send her a cheese wheel please) about her media coverage during the election after the election is over..

:eyes:

[backscatter712]

1. Not sure... They're both corrupt idiots.

On the bright side, judging by the impeachment vote today, Blago's not going to be governor for much longer...

[onehandle]

2. Palin. What's embarrassing is that she still has a job after scandals and being identified as...

...a nutbag airhead.

[JayMusgrove]

30. a nutbag airhead who also broke several state laws........

I guess the people of Alaska just don't care!

[YOY]

3. Ones a corrupt dim politician and the otherone is dim corrupt politician.

Once is more dim than the other and the vice versa for corruption level.

Still nothing anyone wants...

[jhrobbins]

24. I also think it is very telling that the Republicans, by and large, got in lock step

to defend Palin and Democrats, by and large, called for Blagojevich's removal. Dare I say that Democrats have more integrity when it comes to issues like this?

[YOY]

28. Dare away. I agree.

n.t.

[JayMusgrove]

31. Agreed, this is the difference between Repugs and Democratic voters! n/t

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. Yes. NT

[lapfog_1]

5. Every time I hear "also" from Palin's lips

I physically cringe. I shout at the TeeVee... "Nooooooo". I have to change the channel quickly because I know another one is coming shortly. It's the same reaction that I have to * speaking, only magnified (and I didn't think that was possible!).

Blago is a jerk, probably a liar, and annoying. Very likely a criminal. But I don't have that visceral reaction to him speaking.

Dems are going to impeach and remove Blago from his governorship, possibly jail him as a criminal.

Palin is likely to be the frontrunner to challenge Obama in 2012.

[Danger Mouse]

6. They're equally embarassing.

[Fearless]

7. I'm gonna say Palin.

At least the stuff coming out about Blagojevich isn't "new", it's happened before. Palin on the other hand is opening an entirely new can of BS every time she opens her mouth.

[Terran]

8. sorta apples and oranges here...

Palin borders on the farcical, whereas Blago's quaint 19th century appetite for graft is almost too weird for words.

[JayMusgrove]

32. are you forgetting how Palin go her house built? n/t

[alsame]

9. I say Palin, she's both stupid and corrupt. Blago is corrupt by

choice, but I don't think he's ignorant.

[IndianaGreen]

11. Hear, hear!

And Palin is a whiner, while Blago will go down swinging.

Ya know, he might end up getting acquitted. I haven't seen a case against him yet. There is no evidence he took money. Talk alone won't do it.

[roguevalley]

13. unless the talk qualifies as solicitation of a crime. going out and

getting someone to kill your husband is a crime even if you don't give money over yet. we shall see.

[OHdem10]

10. Most embarassing: How the US Senators(Dems) have handled

this issue in a political move to try to hang onto a seat.

[damntexdem]

12. Blago -- he's a Democrat. Palin embarrasses the GOP -- good!

Besides, many of them don't even know enough to be embarrassed.

As to moving, the issue with Blago is to move him out of the guv's chair, not to move millions of citizens who suffer from his idiocy. Of course, Alaskans might be wise to conclude the same regarding Palin.

Actually, BOTH states are too cold for me, anyway -- even though I used to live in Illinois.

[davsand]

14. Well, as somebody from Illinois Blago is more embarrassing to me.

Palin--well, she is a mess in a lot of ways, but Illinois elected Blago TWICE. This is his second term. A lot of us knew he was corrupt and the state STILL re-elected the man. (As my husband says, "See how we are?") If the GOP runs Palin again or Alaska re-elects her THEN we are on equal footing, I think.

On a personal note, I have to admit that it amuses heck outta me to see how many IL Dems are claiming now to have voted Green in that election. I have to wonder why Whitney didn't win with all those votes?

:evilgrin:

[Uzybone]

15. Palin, dems would never put Blago a heartbeat away from POTUS

Blago is a piece of work, but history books will have the Alaska Palins in there. My 8 and 7 year old know who Palin is. Thats much better than any indoctrination I could give them on making them liberals (just kidding about the indoctrination part).

[ddeclue]

17. Well except I didn't pose this as a D-R dilemma but rather as an IL-AK dilemma.

as in who is more embarrassed by their governor...

[Uzybone]

23. I see...in that case its clearly Blago

Alaskans have no shame. They almost re-elected a 7 felony senator.

[BklynChick]

16. no brainer, Palin

[Frustratedlady]

18. It's a tie!

[Kaylee]

19. Palin, since she is still Governor and not going anywhere.

:puke:

[ShortnFiery]

20. PALIN - hands down. I have no regard for those who are "willfully ignorant"

of current affairs.

[Forkboy]

21. Corruption is nothing new, but Palin's breathtaking level of stupidity is rare even among Repubs.

I'm embarrassed to be in the same species as her. After that being in a party with a corrupt yobbo is almost cool.

[Phx_Dem]

22. Definitely Palin. She makes Blago look great.

[Fire1]

25. Palin........hands down!

[juno jones]

26. Blago

Because he has a 'D' after his name.

We expect it out of vapid miss teenage alaska. But our party needs to be better than that. "Everybody does it" is often not a very good excuse.

Having grown up in IL this whole mess doesn't surprise me. From what I can tell, the downstate Repub machine stumbled bad so the Dem Chicago machine stepped into the power vacuum. With predictable results. Restructuring of both parties is inevitable and long overdue. I wish my home state peeps good luck with that.

[RiverStone]

27. Have them trade hairdos, then ask me

[ddeclue]

29. WHAT??? NO PHOTOSHOP????

Where's the fun in THAT....

:shrug:

[camera obscura]

36. Okay, I'm not a photoshop whiz, but...

Palin with Blago hair looks sort of like a woman still, actually.

[RiverStone]

37. OK, that's creepy funny!

Now, what's that ol gig on Conan --- what if they mated?

Thanks :hi:

[ddeclue]

41. DUZY!!!

:rofl:

They look pretty creepy though...

[Vektor]

47. Funny, I always thought that Palin with her own hair...

...actually looked like a total man, and an angular, rugged, craggy one to boot.

The Blago hair puts her over the top as the fugliest thing I've ever seen.

[camera obscura]

33. Palin - because while Dems have scorned Blago, the Republicans still worship "the 'Cuda"

That's pretty damn embarassing.

[HughMoran]

34. Palin is a MORON, MORON, MORON, MORON, MORON, MORON

Oh, and did I mention that she is a moron?

[Withywindle]

35. Blago, 'cause he's ours.

But I'm not moving to Alaska.


It's not the cold. It's the skeeters. And the meth.

[Skittles]

38. definitley Palin

at lease Blago is entertaining

[AtomicKitten]

39. They are both car wrecks. n/t

[geek tragedy]

40. Blago wins the tie-breaker:

Most Embarrassing Hair.

[Radical Activist]

42. The nice thing about IL

is that once you get rid of Blago we have a lot of good Democrats in office. Alaska...not so much.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

43. I don't think Blago spends as much on his hair as Palin

[woodsong100]

44. It's a tossup

To me, they're equally repugnant.

[truebrit71]

45. Blago...he is smart enough to know better...Palin is just plain fucking stupid...

...I have eaten meals with higher IQ's than the Gov of Alaska...

[Vektor]

46. Palin. Blag is corrupt as hell...

But Palin is corrupt as hell AND dumber than a bag of wet napkins.

She makes GWB look intelligent, and THAT is ridiculously embarrassing.
