1. Can you say hypocrite??? Wow, I sure can!

Do they think we won't notice?

My gawd, we do.

[Buzz Clik]

16. Hypocrite? By all appearances. More likely she's too dimwitted to recall that it happened.

[MADem]

66. Hypocrite? YOU BETCHA!!!! (wink!) nt

[krispos42]

86. I can. And I can spell it. Can Sarah?

[Enrique]

2. what nationality is Sarah? n/t

[Initech]

10. Uhhmerican.

[Voice for Peace]

19. ++ lol

[Aerows]

20. Dumberican

[Bucky]

12. All of them

[formercia]

14. Unamerican

with a dual citizenship from Bumfuckistan.

[mountain grammy]

23. +1000

Bumfuckistan indeed!

[TheMadMonk]

45. Tad homophobid don't you think? /nt

[formercia]

46. Not at all

Unless you're English.

Bum=Bad, worthless,etc, in the US

[TheMadMonk]

54. Or Australian. But that aside, it's still an allusion to distateful sexual practices.

And the word's etymology is far closer to allusions to rurals having sex with their sisters and animals than anything to do with bindlestiffs.

[IrishAyes]

60. Far as I'm concerned, your word's not the last on the matter.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

83. Good grief. There's one in every crowd.

[Maraya1969]

62. A bumfuck is an idiot just like a bumblefuck. They are both from Bumfuckistan.

I had no thought of sex when I read that. I think the first reference to bumfuck was in Rain Man when Tom Cruise was having a fit in the middle of bumfuck Iowa or some place.

[TheDebbieDee]

63. You've never heard of West Bumfuck? It's a place that doesn't exist, of course,

that we referred to all the time when I was in the Army. Example: I left my cigarettes in West Bumfuck.

[TheMadMonk]

91. And the etymology remains, somewhere so remote and lonely...

...that if people didn't indulge in "un-natural" sexual practices, they wouldn't be getting any at all.

[NBachers]

65. How much is a tad, Tad?

[Initech]

15. Russian, since she can see it from her house.

[Enrique]

17. she does wear red a lot

just saying...

[Jamaal510]

22. Wingnutese

[pinboy3niner]

25. In what respect, Charlie?

That never gets old.

[swimboy]

34. Please proceed, governor!

[AndyA]

32. Palin's a lipstick-wearin' American Pit Bull Maverick, of course!

American Pit Bull Mavericks hail from an area near Russia, because they can see it from their land.

[chknltl]

40. Uhhh-laskan.

On the Bering Ocean to be exact.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

42. In what respect?..... No but seriously, what are the people from Dumbfuckistan called? nt

[Jackpine Radical]

50. Republicans.

Any other questions?

[Hubert Flottz]

67. Azzcrackistan...

Look at the photo. Both idiots in that shot are out in the rain and the stairs are high and dry. In Azzcrackistan their moms don't teach them to get in out of the rain, in the home school.

[jmowreader]

68. She's a Kryptonian

Sarah says she can see Russia from her house. She fails to notice there's a ridge to the west of Wasilla. Because she can see through it, it should be obvious to one and all that Sarah was packed in a rocket many years before Krypton blew up and sent to Earth because they just knew she would turn out bad.

[awoke_in_2003]

84. Nationality?...

I want to know which is her home planet.

[Blue Owl]

3. There she is, Miss American...

[pinboy3niner]

5. Miss...

[truebluegreen]

7. DUzy!

[66 dmhlt]

73. Now THAT made me laugh! (And I thought I'd seen them all.)

[Solly Mack]

4. No surprise there.

[Politicalboi]

6. It looks like she is going to

Fall on her ass. I'm surprised she didn't ride the railing down, hillbilly style.

[Warpy]

56. She looks like she's trying to figure out how steps work

I sympathize. RA means I go up stairs just fine but going down them is a thrill a minute.

Not that I think she has anything worse going on than stupidity.

[Segami]

8. If Only......

[tblue37]

9. Silly Rabbit, don't you know? IOKIYAR. nt

[SidDithers]

11. DU re...

Sid

[Wait Wut]

33. One of my favorites.

Did anyone consider that the President was showing the Turkish PM some courtesy by not letting him drown and that it would have made the PM uncomfortable if he was being covered while the President was not?

I've seen our President stand in the rain sans umbrella several times. This was definitely an exception.

I also recall pics of our President holding an umbrella over the FLOTUS while he got wet.

[SidDithers]

37. Yeah. That was my thinking too...

he's stood in the rain on his own a bunch of times, but he wasn't alone here. He had Erdogan with him.

I think this was an impromptu solution to keep the Turkish PM dry.

Sid

[IrishAyes]

59. That's because he's a true gentleman. So rare these days.

[Rex]

39. Oh yeah

that one is going into the photobucket collection. TY.

[freshwest]

52. Our President has no fear of water, unlike the Wicked Wacko of Wasilla.

[JackN415]

13. It's not halloween yet! n/t

[JBoy]

18. Pretty stupid to be hypocritical about something so petty

She's such a lightweight.

[mckara]

21. Palin is Such a Douche Bag that I Cannot K & R

[mountain grammy]

24. Sarah doesn't know about cameras and recorders.. shhh, don't tell her.

[DallasNE]

26. I Have A Friend That Met Sarah Palin In An Official Capacity

This is what that person, an influential Republican insider, said recently regarding Palin.

i actually met Sarah Palin and she is one of the most insincere, superficial, disingenuous persons I have ever met....and after 15 years in DC I have met a lot of them..............I wouldn't trust her for a nano second."

[NewJeffCT]

71. And a Sarah Palin fan would respond

that your friend is "jealous of her fertility" (actual quote from a Freeper claiming other women didn't like Palin because they were jealous of her fertility)

[southernyankeebelle]

27. The woman is sooo jealous of the president she still hasn't gotten over it.

[Cha]

28. Big Mouth-non existent brain

[winter is coming]

29. She may be wearing high stiletto heels, in which case she should use both hands on the railing. n/t

[demmiblue]

30. Heh!

[DRoseDARs]

31. A picture of Nixon, Reagan, or Bush Sr. having umbrellas held from them would have been nice too. nt

[ebayfool]

87. !

[DRoseDARs]

90. !!

I searched hard for one of Bush Jr. Nice find.

[Wait Wut]

35. To be fair...

...she can't get her hair wet because if that lump gets wet it turns into a gremlin.

[Rozlee]

57. Or...

there's a bunch of coiled hissing snakes under it. If she ever takes her glasses off, for gawd's sake, run!

[SemperEadem]

93. I call that hairdo of hers the octopus head

looks like she's got an octopus taking a ride on her skull.

[Skidmore]

36. That woman has damaged frontal lobes.

No other explanation.

[Rex]

38. She's a born loser, almost the exact copy of GWB

but different gender.

[alfredo]

41. Her porters weren't there to carry her down the stairs.

[lindysalsagal]

43. Dumbfukistani

[bluedigger]

44. The American Outpost of Colorado objects.

[SoCalDem]

47. and Florida & Virginia & Ohio

and NC..... once

[Botany]

69. That was w/ the help of gop voting machines

4 years later

[question everything]

48. No one has ever claimed that Palin is smart, insightful or simply honest (nt)

[TheMadMonk]

49. Interesting that folk of a certain age, are failing to mention...

...that holding an umbrella for a lady (don't bother, I know) was, once upon a time, simply common courtesy. Even makes a certain amount of sense on stairs. One hand for purse, one for the banister, and all concentration on those ridiculous things women stick on the ends of their legs and call shoes.

It never ceases to amaze me, how folk can find common ground in stupidly petty little things like this, but then be at each other's throats over matters of true import, such as abuses of power, failure to prosecute clear violations of law, sexual violence, institutional and state sanctioned brutality. Common courtesty is misogyny, but the jury is always out on date rape.

[patrice]

51. K&RRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . . !

[Chaco Dundee]

61. agree wholeheartedly

That Bimbo is boring at best.not even Grams Mc Cain is after her tail any longer.

[nikto]

78. Positively shocking...

[Warren DeMontague]

53. Most Americans also hold their own jobs

[Half-Century Man]

55. She should hold her own

Umbrella...opinion to herself....hand over her mouth...lighting rod...conversation with chipmunks...hand over a candle...national convention in the walk-in freezer at the Denny's in Devil's Lake ND...car over her head...canvas bag over her head....

[calimary]

58. Looks like she can still get rained on.

From this angle, anyway. Whether or not, she's still all wet.

[sigmasix]

64. didnt palin quit when the going was tuff?

She's the perfect example of modern America right wing extremism's love for willfully ignorant people. Remember: her followers believe that the gold coins they ordered from limbaugh and beck are going to protect them during the coming zombie plague. Palin doesn't have to be intelligent, wise or coherent to attract support from hate-infused fox "news" consumers- she just needs to display bigot-fueled rage and reasonless hatred for America and the teabaggers continue to love her.

[Botany]

70. Remember Hurricane Sandy? Obama stopped his campaign and went back to the White House and ...

helped to get the job done ..... Katrina 2,000 deaths and 4,000 + deaths in the years afterwards
Sandy which hit a much more populated area 100 deaths.

[NewJeffCT]

72. Another picture from Facebook on presidential umbrellas

Didn't see it posted upthread, but I may have missed it.

[ebayfool]

88. Aha! Great minds & all that! Didn't see this before I posted! n/t

[rocktivity]

74. There's a reason why some Americans DON'T hold their own umbreallas

rocktivity

[DWinNJ]

75. What I find Palinesk

A) It does not appear to be raining
B) She isn't actually covered by the umbrella

In other words an ineffective effort for a nonexistent problem.

[nikto]

76. Mama Grizzlies...

Can't get their hair wet, dontcha' know.

[pinboy3niner]

81. There's a reason for that...

[Liberal_in_LA]

77. she's such a hater

[nikto]

79. Dubya was such an imitator...

(note: bag of coke edited out of both pictures)

[nikto]

82. Organic progression...

[texshelters]

80. Great photo.

But it's not a marine...

It doesn't look photoshopped either...

PTxS

[deurbano]

85. Did THIS violate Marine uniform protocol? (Cue the outrage?!)

http://www.onemarinesview.com/one_marines_view/2012/06/respect-enough-said-semper-fidelis.html

[drynberg]

89. Couldn't help but notice that POTUS actually have umbrellas OVER their heads and bodies,

I'm just sayin'...Sarah is "comic relief" for busy problem solving Americans...HA HA

[SemperEadem]

92. a fucking idiot

a lipstick wearing you-know-what. Plain and simple.

[NCLefty]

94. She doesn't care, and the baggers that might benefit from seeing that pic probably never will.

In FACT, she probably just made more money for her sham PAC by foaming at the mouth about the umbrella.

[trusty elf]

95. .......
