Palin Responds to Federal Bail Out

Palin responded to a question about the economic recovery plan, which was hashed out overnight. She answered, but she made it clear that she was then going to concentrate on the Blue Star Moms, “Bailout? Ok? Then I’m going to talk to these gals whose sons are also in the service. But, thankful that John McCain is able to have some of those provisions implemented in that Paulson proposal to have more sound oversight,” Palin said. “Taxpayers aren’t going to be assumed to be called upon to bail out so I’m glad that John McCain’s voice is heard and his leadership too.”

Directly after that answer, the press was escorted out for 15 minutes and then re-positioned to a staircase in the middle of Di Bruno Bros.—which was too far away to hear what the women were talking about or to ask the Vice-Presidential candidate any other questions.

While waiting for their drinks Palin and the women started talking about their sons in the Army. Maureen Snook said her son told her, “Mom, you won’t know where I am.” Palin responded, “That’s what my son says! I belong to the Army now. I belong to America. My baby!” referring to her 19 year old son Track who is deployed in Iraq.

Palin’s daughter Willow joined the four Blue Star Moms: Julie Devitt, Nancy Harding, Maureen Snook, and Lee Anthony. The women sipped coffee, laughed, took pictures, and even hugged during their almost hour meeting.

1. Trying a "do-over" is she? Won't work due to the magic of recorded images

Anyone know if there been any polls asking Americans what they think about Palin hiding out from the media?

[rzemanfl]

2. I am uh, something John McCain bailing, uh, Blue Star, so

taxpayers, Sarah Palin, okay oversight gals, glad leadership, too heard.

[Barrett808]

3. "Taxpayers aren’t going to be assumed to be called upon to bail out"?

Um, isn't that the essence of the bailout?

[maddezmom]

6. that what I've been assuming all along

she is nuttier than my aunt's Christmas fruitcake. :D

[Bryn]

28. LOL

:7

[HomerRamone]

11. I'd like to use one of my lifelines nt

[krkaufman]

32. I was bummed that SNL didn't go down a few more of the lifeline options last night.

Palin: "Can I ask the audience?"
Couric: "Again, no, this is not a game show. And there is no audience."

Palin: "Sounds like?"

[earthlover]

24. Naw....the bailout will be financed by Moose Belly Futures....

E-Gad!!!!!!

[krkaufman]

31. Yeah, that was amazing. She truly is without a clue.

Whatever other vagaries there are with the bailout legislation, the taxpayers are footing the frickin' bill. Not that I agree with it, but the basic fact is evident to anyone paying the slightest attention.

[gopbuster]

4. Sarah...we have the original draft that had oversight in it already n/t

[snappyturtle]

5. Well, isn't that special? Trust me I'm not mocking Blue Star Moms but

I am questioning palin's present day focus. This event sounds like a sorority tea party. Wouldn't you think the repukes would have palin in lock down studying for the up coming debate?

on edit: I can hardly WAIT for the debate! :popcorn:

[krkaufman]

33. Don't get your hopes up on the debate.

You'd be amazed at what can be done with technology nowadays.

[whosinpower]

7. gobbldegook

WTF????

[all.of.me]

8. gals?

A 1950-ish male word if I ever heard one....

[YellowRubberDuckie]

9. That is such crap.

McCain had nothing to do with the coming agreement. It was mainly Pelosi and the dems.

[Cass]

10. WTF?

“Taxpayers aren’t going to be assumed to be called upon to bail out so I’m glad that John McCain’s voice is heard and his leadership too.”

Due to John McCain's leadership on this issue, the taxpayers won't have to fund this bailout - that's what I gather she is attempting to say here. How the f*** did she manage to come up with that interpretation is what I'd like to know since it's not based on one shred of reality. She is so profoundly clueless, even more so than Bush was.

[Joanne98]

12. Well gee whiz. Gidget understands bailouts too!

:sarcasm:

[krkaufman]

34. Well, of course she does. Her husbands a fisherman ...

... and he's had to bail water out of his boat on numerous occasions. Same thing, really.

[grandpappy]

13. Help!! Anybody have access to a Palinese interpreter? I don't understand her Language.

[yorkiemommie1]

20. I thought it was ME

That I'd lost my reading comprehension powers overnight!

[WVRICK13]

14. What Language is Palin Speaking?

Just when I thought Bush was the dumbest man to ever give public speeches Palin ups him by THREE. She did not answer any question, use proper grammar, make any point, nor speak English. I have had more intelligent conversations with my cats.

[thecrow]

25. She is speaking in tongues.........

Maybe it's code for the AoG crowd...?

[Blue Gardener]

26. Only GOD can understand her when she speaks in tongues

Obviously, no one else can understand WTF she's talking about.

[foxfeet]

35. She speaks "Miss Teen South Carolina" fluently.

[IndianaGreen]

15. Palin should talk to a Gold Star mom, such as Cindy Sheehan

Palin's son will spend his tour in air conditioned quarters guarding the brass, while Joe Grunt in the field has another day of cold rations and hasn't bathed in weeks.

[rosesaylavee]

16. English is her first language, right?

If yes, what the hell did she just say?

[maddezmom]

17. everything she says sounds like

pig latin to me. :D

[rosesaylavee]

19. Hence, the lipstick issue.

:P

[Jazzgirl]

22. I could certainly understand her better if she was speaking

piglatin. Every time I read one of her quotes I think I am an absolute idiot because I have a helluva time trying to interpret what she is trying to say. Dayum, I thought *shrub could mangle the English language but she absolutely takes the cake! :crazy:

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

18. Have to recommend, for another WTF moment by Palin. nt

:banghead:

[Left Brain]

21. Give that woman an award

[DrZeeLit]

23. Jeepers Creepers -- She takes garbled syntax to a new, ugly level.

I heard somebody say that she makes Bush sound like Cicero.
Okay, but I doubt most of the population gets a good visual with Cicero.

How about she makes George Bush sound like .... mmmm.... thinkin' of somebody good... reeeeaaaalllllly good... Like Barack Obama?

Nah...but it's the best analogy. Okay, insert Lincoln. That should work. Yup, yup. Makes Georgie sound like Lincoln.

[truthisfreedom]

41. She makes bush sound like Obama.

[clspector]

27. My fear

is that they're lowering expectations for her to the point where if she doesn't poo herself or puke on the moderator she'll look like a Rhodes scholar.

[halobeam]

30. I hear what you're saying

but.. "they" really didn't do anything, she just spoke. She's lowering the expectations, but imo, it's REAL. She can't string two words together.

My question is, if she had a conversation with Bush yet, at all, did they both understand each other?

[livelongandprosper]

29. ...also it all has to do with job creation something

about health care also...

[and-justice-for-all]

36. Who cares...nt

[mitchum]

37. Jeez, she mangles the language more than the father of the chimp in chief

[OakCliffDem]

38. Will McCain retract this statement made by her too?

[GinaMaria]

39. Take Action: from Democrats.Com Email

Monday: Call to Stop Paulson's Plunder


(1) Call your Representatives and Senators at 800-473-6711 or 202-224-3121 and say No Bailout!

(2) Email them too and tell your friends:
http://democrats.com/stop-paulsons-plunder

After a week of high-drama negotiations, Congress and Hank Paulson issued Bailout version 1.1, which is just the original Paulson pig with a lot of lipstick.

Republicans say the deal will be profitable for taxpayers, but they are lying - just as they did about the invasion of Iraq producing lower gas prices. It's a lie because Paulson has full power to pay too much for the securities and he will because his real goal is a bailout of bank executives and shareholders with our money - a massive ($2,333 per person!) transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich.

Democrats say they got oversight, accountability, and limits on executive compensation but each of these provisions is so full of Republican-written loopholes that they are meaningless - just like all other restrictions imposed on the Bush Administration, from Iraq to wiretapping. And that's before Bush simply negates any restrictions he doesn't like with one of his unconstitutional (and hence impeachable) signing statements.

So our answer remains ABSOLUTELY NOT.

The House will vote on Monday and the Senate will vote on Wednesday.


So call your Senators and Representative right now to say "No $700 Billion Bailout for Wall Street" - dial the Capitol switchboard at 800-473-6711 or 202-224-3121 or dial direct using the instant phone lookup on the right side of http://usalone.com


And if you have not e mailed your Senators and Representative , please do it now:

Thanks for all you do!

40. "Makes Bush sound like Cicero..."

:rofl:

Thanks, I needed that. But if Palin heard that quote, she'd be baffled at why Bush sounds like a city in Illinois.

Actually, Palin could (but won't) learn a lot from Marcus Tullius Cicero. Some quotes cut-n-pasted at random:

The budget should be balanced. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered, and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.

The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.

To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool.

Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system.

Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

In extraordinary events, ignorance of their causes produces astonishment.

A liar is not believed even though he tell the truth.

There are no true friends in politics.

The rabble estimate few things according to their real value, most things according to their prejudices.
