The comedy is switching to high gear...

tempered only by the frightening realization that Sarah might one day be pulling the strings on the world economy, and in the words of Matt Damon "have the nuclear codes".

You can always tell when Sarah's attention starts to wander or when she's on shakey intellectual ground and starting to make stuff up. The folksyness gets ramped up by a factor of ten and her voice raises a couple of octaves.

Wait a minute, that happens every time she speaks....

I find the fact that Sarah Palin can reduce her opponents to eye-rolling, frothing at the mouth illegibility with one simple statement to be an endless source of amusement. :D

Agreed. She needs to run for the next election if only to provide comic material to late night talk show hosts monologues....

Her opponents are all much smarter than she is and right now she is the subject of dirisive laughter, not eye rolling frothing at the mouth illegibility whatever that is. But if the Americans are some day actually stupid enough to elect her president no one on earth will find it remotely funny.

Ah, the smug AvCanada intellectuals are taking a run at George W. Bush. Let's take a look at the facts, for a moment.

George W. Bush has two university degrees, from Yale and a Harvard MBA. You were the first person in your family to graduate from high school.

George W. Bush is a millionaire. You can't even pay your credit card off each month.

George W. Bush flew F-105's. You think a C150 is a big deal.

George W. Bush was elected Governor of Texas, and President of the United States. Twice. You couldn't get elected as Mayor of your craphole backwater little town if you spent a lifetime trying.

George W. Bush invaded and conquered two countries: Iraq and Afganistan. Note that the latter kicked the Soviet Union's butt. You couldn't control the shopping carts in a parking lot of a Walmart.

If George W. Bush is stupid, you're a whole lot dumber than he is.

You misspelled once.

I remember when he said mission accomplished on the carrier and then all the troops pulled out of Iraq and went home because the Iraqis threw down their arms and embraced democracy like a long lost lover who was easy to convince to try anal.

That was great.

George W won the sperm lottery, just like JFK did.

He couldn't figure out that if you spend more than you bring in, you go broke. The only business courses I took were in high school, but that's all I need to figure out that reducing interest rates and increasing risky lending to an overheated economy with runaway inflation without a solid asset base was a recipe for disaster, but he had an MBA so he must have known better. Of course, it wasn't his money on the line when he wrecked the economy, was it?

He deserted a job most of pilots would give our left nut for, flying fighters but not having to go to war like his comrades in the USAF and USN did. He was nothing as a pilot compared to his dad or John McCain. I suppose he was a better pilot than Obama was. :rolleyes:


He 'won' Afghanistan and Iraq about as good as the Sovs won Afghanistan did the first time around. But the US doesn't have the excuse of another superpower giving the insurgents technical and matériel support. Remember when the mujahideen and the US were friends?


He was the President of the US; he was supposed to be smarter than us yokels. Somehow, I don't think a yokel could do much worse.

The Texas ANG was where connected young men went to stamp the military X but risk no danger of going into combat in Viet Nam. It was legal draft dodging for important people's sons.

And Baby Assad's credentials are quite impressive on paper too. A doctorate from Oxford, flies his own presidential jet, he was elected to the Syrian presidency twice as well (99% of the vote). if gGeorge W Bush is smart, then Assad is a whole lot smarter than he is.

bmc: Objectively, please list here:

1) your university degrees held, and schools you graduated from
2) your approximate net worth (within a million or so)
3) supersonic jet aircraft you have checked out on
4) which countries you have been head of state of
5) which countries you successfully invaded and conquered

If you think George W Bush is pitiful, well, objectively you are triply so.

I get aroused every time I see Sarah Palin and she says something nonsensical.

I think I'm developing a premature ejaculation problem. :oops:

I think it's time I go to rehab.

hz2p, I have your back. I too am one of the few that would of voted for Jr. if I were American. Excellent arguments about the degrees, the F105, the presidency. Conquering countries, I sort of have to disagree. Whilst it did get rid of Saddam and now bin Laden, and probably kiboshed several terrorist act, W did state the war in Iraq was won how long ago, and yet they are still there. Don't get me wrong, I support our troops in Afghanistan and still say they should be in the midst of combat. But it is far from over.

If these armchair quarterbacks can continue to beak, let them run for Pres.

I would just vote for Sara to be pres just to have something hot to look at on the nightly news. Now there is a cougar. Compared to Hillary the alley cat, this is one pussy I would not vote for.

Cheers.

Simply put, even though the woman will never be President, every time she opens her mouth she's able to piss off large swaths of her left-wing opponents. For me that holds a very high entertainment value. I also find it amusing that Canadians are all over themselves on the merits or lack thereof, of Sarah Palin when we elected Gene the Cretin not once, not twice, but three times, and if his party hadn't thrown him out on his ass, would probably done it a fourth time. When the Cretin was in full 'liddle guy' pea-soup mode, his cultivated accent was thick enough to require a chain saw, and his syntax was downright embarrasing. And Canadians lapped it up.

Her left wing opponents aren't pissed off, they're laughing at her as is everybody else except starry-eyed Republicans and Teabaggers. I would have thought that would register on right-wingers down there, but I guess not.

Up in Canada she wouldn't stand a chance, but in the celebrity obsessed United States of America anything is possible. That's why underneath the disbelieving laughter the rest of the world is a little bit worried.
