Palin didn't know the difference between England and the UK!..

[HipChick]

Up on Palin gates...

In his upcoming book, "The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power", Geoffrey interviewed more than 100 people and learned about some secrets that Sarah Palin would rather the public didn't know.

The date of the publication of his book has been pushed back to the end of July 2010

<snip>
Therefore it was great to hear Geoffrey Dunn talking yesterday on the air with Shannyn Moore. He shared some fascinating details. For example, Geoffrey has talked to members of the McCain/Palin campaign, and it turned out that Sarah just didn't know...

--> the difference between North- and South-Korea
--> ANYTHING about the Vietnam war

...but she also didn't know...

--> the difference between England and the UK!

<snip>

Another interesting detail which Geoffrey Dunn discloses is that "around 90%" of the people he talked to about Sarah Palin were Republicans. He confirms that it's nothing but a myth that the Republicans in Alaska like Sarah Palin a lot. In fact, many of them strongly dislike her - which I agree with, having myself seen several confidential emails by leading Alaskan Republican politicians in which Sarah Palin was mentioned in the most unflattering way! Yes, we have a very capable network in Alaska by now.


But that's by far not everything that Geoffrey has to share. He also has some frightening details: He believes that Sarah is already in full preparation for the Presidential run, and she has already gathered a support team around her.

1. Surprisingly, ALOT of people don't. n/t

[Raine]

4. I'm sure many don't but they most likely aren't going to run for president

either, nothing frightens me as much as stupid. :scared:

[Fire1]

18. LOL!! Gotcha!! n/t

[blondeatlast]

33. Exactly. Makes a big difference regarding the job qualies. nt

31. I work in an international sales dept.

and most Americans don't realize that the UK = England, Wales, Scotland, & Ireland. Unfortunately, this would be another way that Palin resembles the general populace.

[Zomby Woof]

32. Northern Ireland to be precise

That little slip of the keyboard could ignite a flame war. :-)

[valerief]

2. I know how it'll play out. She'll run in the primary and before the vote

A mercenary will * her and the news will be FLOODED with mourning for her and, by association, Republicans. That will generate 'sympathy' votes for Republicans, poor dears.

[XemaSab]

3. The UK is where the Sex Pistols are from

[ashling]

27. And where the Dixie Chicks go to make

traitorous comments about stupid Republican presidon'ts. :sarcasm:

[dgibby]

5. Palin doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground.

How could anyone expect her to know the difference between England and the UK? That's waaaay above her pay grade.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. But, but the folksy, UKsy, is the University of Kentucky

suddenly everything has a 'sy on the end

Holy *%(%(% there would be a mass exodus if 'that' was president

[Mind_your_head]

7. The UK (United Kingdom) ..... wasn't that the show with Marlin Perkins?

:shrug:



:sarcasm:

[Captain Hilts]

17. Yeah, I laughed. nt

[HopeHoops]

8. She doesn't know the difference between her tits and her buttocks. No shock here.

[Hissyspit]

9. Of course she doesn't.

And her followers love her for it.

[Pab Sungenis]

10. I'm not surprised.

She doesn't know the difference between Alaska and America, so why should she know that England is part of the UK, not just another name for it?

[mascarax]

11. She knows the difference between a Crunchwrap Supreme & Chalupa

at Taco Bell.

Must she know EVERYTHING?

[lonestarnot]

12. dingafuckingling thinks she's cute too all highschoolie and all.

[Bitwit1234]

13. I tell you truthfully people

I think she has trouble finding her butt, most of the time.

[Captain Hilts]

14. Actually, most folks don't know the diff between England, UK and Britain.

This is England's flag:

It seems you see this only during the World Cup:



This is the flag with the cross of St. Patrick:



It's part of the op - art design of her Britannic Majesty's Queen Elizabeth's flag:

It actually has an 'up' and a 'down', so pay attention:



This is the other 3rd of the flag. It is the Flag of Sean Connery and Susan Boyle: It's the cross of St. Andrew:



The Welsh are 'British' and have a cool flag: 'Corgi' is Welsh for 'dog':



Scotland, Wales and England are Britain.

The UK is Scotland, England, Wales AND Northern Ireland.

[HipChick]

15. But are they trying to angle to run for President?

[Captain Hilts]

16. True. Most of us have a better grasp of our limitations. nt

[HipChick]

19. The Welsh might dispute that..strongly

:rofl:

[Captain Hilts]

20. May my late grandmother and Tom Jones forgive me!!!!!

[Loudmxr]

29. How's that Union Jacky thing workin' out for ya?

Seriously I try and explain this to my SO and I can never find the right flags embedded in the Union Jack. So I make a complete mess of my explanation. I thank you very much.

1 England
2 Scotland
3 Wales
4 British Rail (I think) See total cock up.

[Captain Hilts]

30. The confusing thing is Wales doesn't seem to be represented. But St. G, St. A. and St. P crosses

are. It's considered the world's first piece of 'modern' art. And it is.

So, to make up for Wales not being on the flag, celebrate St. David's Day on March 1st. Go outta control!

It's confusing the shit out of people when Scots are described as being 'British', but they are. It seems to piss off some Scots, but not others.

[rhett o rick]

21. I no, I no, but isnt she hot?

:sarcasm:

[opihimoimoi]

22. Evolution by Diversity = many ideas/concepts, some good, some worse, some in the Middle

Sarah is a living example::: Worse of the Worse Category.

and yet the Pubs need a throwaway Candidate to fight Obama semi vigerously should the Administration poll strong next year...just to save Face....

Enter Moosey Mama from Wasilla...she figures if W Bush can do it...so can she...

Of course the odds for her Oval Quest is astronomically dismal....but fantasy can fool her too.

Who gonna be the new Wannabe's? The next Throwaways"....with Palin?

Get your popcorn ready

[bullwinkle428]

23. Cut her some slack - she can't actually see it from her house!

:evilgrin:

[provis99]

24. Big deal. The English don't know the difference between England and the UK.

To my English uncle-in-law, England IS the UK. The Scots, Welsh, and Northern Irish are wankers and immigrants (his words, not mine).

My friend Mark, who grew up in England, also resented it when he saw Scots waving the Union Jack, which was England's flag (according to him).

[roguevalley]

26. My great grandpa, from Newpitslago, would be pissed to see a scot

waving the union jack too. :P

[11 Bravo]

25. In related news, she is also unable to differentiate between her ass and her elbow.

[MrMickeysMom]

28. Once again, we are reminded of that old saying...

Beauty is skin deep... but stupid is forever!
