she's pretty much a cardboard cutout of a woman selected from the "generic politician's wife" bargain bin. i'm willing to bet somewhere on her body there's a stamp that reads, "made in hong kong."

i usually try to avoid critiquing politicians' wives but this particular one keeps trying to inject herself into the political conversation, when she's about as useless as hen shit on a pump handle. she's like linda mccartney to paul mccartney, injecting herself fairly pointlessly into her husband's fame as though she has any relevance there.

not that I expect cindy to know this, but alaska used to be russian. that means palin and putin are basically cousins, by her logic. They should have a family meeting and discuss dr zhivago over borsht and moose burgers. make the world a better place.

Palin's message to the Alaskan Independence Party

[Deckard]

Palin in a talk to the church congregation on the Iraq War:

"[Pray] for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God....That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."


Palin, in supporting a $30 billion Alaskan national gas pipeline project:

"I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that."


Exactly the kind of "thinking" the world could do without right now.

[Deckard]

Some of Palin's remarks that I quoted earlier....

...our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God....That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.
...
"I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built."

ABC tonight released an early transcript of parts of an interview with Palin...

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.

PALIN: But the reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln's words when he said -- first, he suggested never presume to know what God's will is, and I would never presume to know God's will or to speak God's words.

Let me just break here and say hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Ok, continue....

...but what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that's a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God's side.

That's what that comment was all about, Charlie. //

GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln's words, but you went on and said, "There is a plan and it is God's plan."

PALIN: I believe that there is a plan for this world and that plan for this world is for good. I believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that I believe are God-given, Charlie, and I believe that those are the rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That, in my world view, is a grand -- the grand plan.

GIBSON: But then are you sending your son on a task that is from God?

PALIN: I don't know if the task is from God, Charlie. What I know is that my son has made a decision. I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer.

Thou shalt tie thyself up in knots....

S'about right.

She doesn't shoot godless mooses. She shoots left wing, liberal polar bears.

She also snipes activist wolves from helicopters.
