You forgot. Alaska also borders Canada. Therefore she has foreign experience on twice the fronts as any other Governor. Plus, there are all the illegal Eskimos from Siberia slipping across the ice.

UPDATE: The illegal Eskimos immigration has stopped for now. Apparently they can’t slip across the ice as the North Pole is ice free. Once the weather cools, look for them to start hitching rides with the Ice Road Truckers.

Its been fun so far listening to the liars defending her record.

My favorite so far really has been several who have said “Alaska is close to Russia.” I would never have thought of that one.

I’ve also heard “If you can raise 5 kids you have executive experience.” But that is an old saw brought out routinely.

Twist and shout. Spin and pander.

What does this have to do with the nation’s monetary policy or foreign policy? I haven’t a clue. All the damned Palin articles in this blog are turning it into a tabloid.

It demonstrates her integrity. McCain brought her, three of her children, and a grandchild on stage. Palin was held up as a virtuous mother before we even knew what her policies were. She is being shown as disingenuous and how her policy of anti-contraception, anti-sex education, and anti-abortion doesn’t work. Does what else she believes in work as well?

So your point is very valid, her private life shouldn’t matter. Yet because she made it part of her political persona, it has become an open topic. Add this to the fact that she is under investigation for corruption by the Alaska legislature.

Add this to the fact she tried to fire the town Librarian because she wouldn’t ban books Palin thought objectionable. Palin backed down when the Librarian caved. She fired the town Police Chief because he enforced the law as written. She fired the town streets Maintenance Manager because he couldn’t plow all the streets with the budget and reduced manpower given him.

The other laughable thing was “Bush did 9/11″. Gimme a break, bush is such a moron he couldn’t conduct such an elegant conspiracy.

I attribute such things as 9/11 and Sarah Palin’s VP choice to mere GOP idiocy, which can be so extreme it gets confused with conspiracy.

Just enjoy, it will get worse I can guarantee it. Next thing you know the baby will be from incest, or the daughter gets caught with 1 kilo of colombian cocaine, or Palin actually is a man or something.

Nothing is apt to hurt Obama much worse than bunch of out of control supporters that make people want to spew.

As one man once said, “I can deal with my enemies but God save me from my friends,” or words to that effect.

Luckily, my daughter graduated HS drug-free, jail-free, and child-free.

But I have friends are weren’t so lucky. One friend’s daughter (he has two daughters) has a multi-racial child by a drug dealer . The other daughter is 180 degrees — scholarship, good part time job, etc. He did divorce his wife while the kids were still in HS but why would one go bad and the other not?

People seem to think that as parents you have complete control over everything your kids do. That’s not so. All you can do is teach the lesson. Sometimes it sticks.

What does this have to do with Mrs. Palin? She is obviously human and probably a nervous wreck right now. And her husband is probably cleaning the shotgun getting ready for a wedding.

What does this have to do with the nation’s monetary policy or foreign policy? I haven’t a clue. All the damned Palin articles in this blog are turning it into a tabloid.

I would like to see more articles on the issues and not the spectacles, please.

“Ooo, you want me for VP? Cool. I’m all yours. Loyalty to the Party. That’s my Prime Directive. Here’s a salute!”

“No, there are no–repeat, NO–skeletons in my closet.”

“Woopsie, pregnant daughter. That’s none of your business. This is the Party of Business, but that’s none of your business.”

“You didn’t ask about a pregnant unmarried daughter. How the hey am I supposed to know what you want? I thought you meant the OTHER kind of closet.”

“Five months. No doubt of it. I said FIVE.”

“Those pix of me at seven months pregger; those are REAL!!!! I just don’t get very big when I get pregger.”

“My daughter had mono for five months before my delivery of sweet little Trig. And now she doesn’t, but she’s pregger.”

“We are cashing in a lot of chits on this one, getting the whole story off onto page nine. You think the Repubs are powerless. Look around.”

“Any more Qs?”

I’d like to bring up another Palin, Michael, of Monty Python fame (and also of Pole-to-Pole fame; he’s been to Alaska, in a ballsy way). Reminiscing about their magnum opus, “The Meaning of Life”, the Pythons chuckled that most of the budget for the movie was blown in the first few days with the expensively-choreographed, hilariously funny segment, “Every Sperm is Sacred”. Since daughter Palin didn’t know about or didn’t practice birth control, shouldn’t that segment become the Palin theme song?

LOL That’s like saying the Sarah Palin’s mind is geared towards diaper minutia and PTA rhetoric.

Yes, she is religious. Very often such people substitute their view of evil for constitutional and administrative restrictions. Thats just fine when you agree with the goal, terrible if you are against the goal, and is procedurally defective.

These anti-abortion creationists care little about other people’s freedoms and should be looked at with disdain as “political leaders.” I agree with McCain–such people as his VP pick are agents of intolerance. Not good for “all” the people.

Exactly. You have to have a mind that is geared towards legal minutia & rhetoric. Qualities that make you an excellent lawyer. NOT qualities that help you manage and run large entities with high productivity…

My response was not ad hominem.

The Harvard Faculty is not equivalent to the POTUS.

So, except for every conclusion you make, good post.
