She sounds kind of… Canadian to me. And all that “hockey-mom” garbage is kind of a red light. Can we trust her not to sign the country over to Ottawa?

Given her husbands militia leanings, and her history (only documented in one photo, but come on, it was an official photo) of being sympathetic (if not supportive) of the John Birch Society, it actually makes a lot of sense. Those kinds of movements are thick with individuals who in normal like would be considered less than average. And they like seeing people like themselves in positions of power (hence George W’s popularity). Smarts has nothing to do with it. If she can spout the right talking points (Blacks sub-human, Jews evil, Trilateral Commission, etc.) she’s part of the gang. It’s not surprising to me that there have been reports of folks shouting things like “Kill him!” “Terrorist!” or “Traitor!” and she hasn’t blinked (or winked for that matter). As I was reading the various reports today of the various racially tinged outbursts today, the same name kept leaping to mind: David Duke. Palin is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong with the White nationalist movements in this country: for starters, most of what those movements are built on is patently wrong. So, for her to lie or make extreme (i.e., racist, anti-semitic, anti-World Order, etc) statements is really just part of a theme.

Too wierd to be amongst Northern Exposure’s eccentrics, and a lookalikey of Peggy Hill to boot (but without the charm, brains or lovability).

Not only is there something desperately wrong with her, there is something far more wrong about an electorate that allows and wants somebody like her, as OW says, to be at the top of the ticket. But then, she’s already behaving as if she’s at the top of the ticket, anyway. The press lets her get away with it. And here I thought Idiocracy was set 500 years from now.

I would have a problem with the likes of her on my PTA.

Governing is not the issue. Winning is the only issue.
When they selected Governor Palin, I think they were trying to kill two birds with one stone.
The media had convinced them that the country was full of women wh would vote for any woman who ran for office. The religious right did not support McCain.
The church lady was expected to be the rallying symbol for both those groups.
If you watch the tape of her 2006 debate you will see that she is having a joke at our expense.

I was listening more than watching so the winks didn’t really register with me. When i saw all the mentions of “the wink” i thought there was just one. But looking at some of the clips now online which show her winks (plural)? Damn, I’m thinkin’ the woman has some serious nervous twitch goin’ on there, ya know?

Maybe McCain isn’t the one we should be worryin’ about strokin’ out, you betcha!

Dude, she fucking winked at least three times during her debate. Winked! I’m not particularly well-versed in the Marquis of Queesbury’s Rules of Debate, but I’m pretty sure that if you wink, you automatically forfeit.

She winked.

She’s a rejected Northern Exposure character.

(Note to world in general: more Northern Exposure references please.)
