Sarah Palin New York Connection: Not So Much Really

We can only talk about John McCain's Vice Presidential pick, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, if we can find some local angle, our boss says. Okay, how about this: AP reports that, when Sarah Palin came to the 2004 GOP Convention, she was "a wide-eyed delegate awed by the fast-paced environs in New York City." She thinks we're awesome! Also, New York and Alaska are both big states. And: a lot of New Yorkers live off Federal programs, and so does Alaska!

The first and only previous woman to run for Vice President on a major party ticket was New York's Geraldine Ferraro, who lost 49 states and later said Obama was only popular because he's black.

That's all we have until we can look up her contributions from oil and gas companies.

(Oh yeah: this ought to get Hillary Clinton out full-force for Obama. Someone else one fibrillation away from First Woman President? Bitch, please!)

You have to admit that Sarah Palin is pretty hot (remember she was in the Ms. Alaska Pageant) and MUCH BETTER on the eyes than Joe Biden. Oh and wait until you see the bikini pics!!! NOT BAD for a mother of 5.

Poor 'Ol Sarah - has she remembered to bring McCain the 100 cases of Geritol he will be needing to say alive for 48 more months.

And if he (((croaks))) will Sarah in a bikini be enough to call off the Russian bear in Georgia, ahem.

Good lick Sarah, with that bible (Torah?) name the ZioNAZI's should love ya - if you keep the welfare payments coming, that is, jajaja.

But, if we are to have a corrupt-free truly 'even handed' Middle East peacemaker, Obama is the one!

Jennifer says:

What a shock! The Republican posting supporting Sarah Palin, (T.F.) is full of poor grammar and misspellings! Maybe if your party gave a crap about our schools then you could spell better, you poor thing. Hmmm...let's see, what do Dukakis (one K in the middle by the way), Kerry and Obama have in common? Not much.

Sarah Palin is fabulous. I think it’s okay to be apprehensive, but I had no worries. Sarah's the real deal. She'll knock 'em dead every time. And, I’ve found the perfect (unofficial) theme song(s) for John McCain & Sarah. It’s Jan & Dean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsHHQGY2_KU Or my fave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX7X4FovYRA&NR=1 How ‘bout them Dems everybody, think they're done: http://theseedsof9-11.com

SHE IS NOT SO GREAT THE PICS OF HER WITH THE SLAUGHTERED MOOSE AND THE BLOOD FROM IT'S MOUTH DO NOT SHOW A CLEAN KILL. THE MOOSE SUFFERED. SHE IS NOT WHAT I WANT AND I HAVE SERVED SHIELD/STORM AND THIS WAR. WARRIORS DO NOT HUNT UNLESS NECESSARY, WE DO NOT APPRECIATE PAIN, SUFFERING AND DEATH WITHOUT A REASON. SHE IS COLD, CRUEL, INDIFFERANT AND I AM AMAZED SHE SAVED THE BABY. I DO NOT SUPPORT NOR DO I LIKE HER. CPT MAC
