Given Sarah Palin's reasoning why she is qualified, come up with a government position you are

[madinmaryland]

qualified for.

She said since Russia is a neighbor, that makes her qualified in internation relations.

Me:

I've said the brazilian joke a brazillion times, so I would make the perfect Ambassador to Brazil!!

[MrsBrady]

1. i hear this one on the stepanie miller show today...

this guy called in...

he said....
...since i've been known to roll and smoke a few in my time...
can I be head of the "joint" chiefs of staff?


i laughed out loud in the car

[NewJeffCT]

2. I've been to China twice, does that make me overqualified

to be ambassador to China in the Palin world?

However, we did have to fly over Russian airspace once when we went to China, so I am qualified in international relations like Palin.

I've been to the beach, so I'm qualified to be a marine biologist.

I do a good job taking care of my lawn at home, so I can be qualified to head the Dept. of Agriculture.

I live in the State of Connecticut, so I'm also qualified to be Secretary of State. (and, a pox on those Commonwealthers!)

I've hired attorneys before, so I can be attorney general.

I have a bank account and I like money, so I'm qualified to be Secretary of the Treasury.

[madinmaryland]

5. Dude! You're just way overqualified for any position!!1!!

:hi:

But you could fire Joe Lieberman, since you are from Connecticut!!

[NewJeffCT]

6. He's already been fired from his own "Connecticut for Lieberman" party

Lieberman Political Party That Opposes Lieberman
By MARK PAZNIOKAS | Courant Staff Writer
September 16, 2008

Even casual observers know that Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut has invested significant time and political capital in electing John McCain president.

So, it only follows that the Connecticut for Lieberman Party would be squarely for McCain, right?

Wrong.

It's not even for Lieberman.

[Sabriel]

7. I took a geology survey class in college

Ladies, Roe v Wade is safe with me.

[likesmountains 52]

9. I eat food...can I head up the FDA?

[madinmaryland]

10. I think you will get the head of the USDA.

[TZ]

13. I'm a lab tech!

I should be head of FDA!!! Lab rats everywhere would rejoice!
Either that or head of NIH, I'd love to get some political payback to certain people there...

[madinmaryland]

14. As shill for teh evul big pharma, it would be a good fit for you!!1!!

[NewJeffCT]

[BOSSHOG]

[XemaSab]

38. He could be ambassador

[BOSSHOG]

[BOSSHOG]

15. I drive by Walmart every day so I have Values

[CBHagman]

46. I think I like your reply best of all.

Values voters indeed! :rofl:

[Liberal Dose]

18. I had a 2 hour layover in Tokyo on the way to Bangkok.

Since I have more foreign relations experience than Sarah Palin, I should be VP.

[Liberal Dose]

19. On second thought, since I have worked on a security project and also know how to lock the doors and

windows at night, I should be the head of Homeland Security.

[madinmaryland]

21. Heckuva job you're doing!!1!!

[Liberal Dose]

23. Thanks. It's a HUGH responsibility!! nt

[madinmaryland]

25. I'm series!!1!!

bolt-action rifle. That makes me Supreme Allied Commander Europe!

:woohoo: I'm a 4-star general!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

26. I buy things with money

That qualifies me to be Secretary of the Treasury. :evilgrin:

[huskerlaw]

27. I live in California, which touches Mexico

so I can be the Ambassador to Mexico.

In fact I could be Ambassador to the following countries:

1. Switzerland: I've had layovers there TWICE.
2. Belgium: Spent 2 weeks there, so I'm probably qualified to be their Prime Minister.
3. UK: 3 days in London, baby!
4. Netherlands: I went to a gay pride festival in Amsterdam. That would qualify me for many things, actually.
5. France: Briefly passed through it while on the Eurostar.
6. Iceland: Flew over it on the way to Europe, survived insane turbulence...so they owe me.

I am a lawyer, so I'm overqualified for Attorney General and SCOTUS.

Unfortunately, I have 3 college degrees, so I'm overqualified for pretty much any government position. x(

[SoxFan]

28. Governor of Georgia

All those times changing planes in Atlanta finally paid off!
:woohoo:

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. I've had gas a few times

Since methane's considered an alternate fuel I should be Energy Czar.

[KitchenWitch]

30. I am lazy, can I be head of FEMA?

[madinmaryland]

32. If you have ridden a horse or judged a horse riding contest then

you can have the position.

[KitchenWitch]

[CottonBear]

;)

[Rosie1223]

[Tikki]

33. I'm sure this one has been used to infinity...

Tikki

[likesmountains 52]

41. Well, then you are qualified to guard all those stem cells!

[Jamastiene]

34. I love food and drugs, lots of them.

I also love alcohol, tobacco, and weapons. I'm torn. Which do I love better? Should I head up the FDA or the ATF?

Fuck it. I love women more than anything. I should head up the Gynecological Administration. Screw it if there's not already one. Create it just for me. Nobody loves that more than I do. :P

[Burma Jones]

36. I've been called Defensive, AND played Defensive Tackle on my HS Football Team

So, I'm the new SECDEF

[XemaSab]

37. I graduated high school

so I should be secretary of education.

I've been to a bunch of national parks so I should be head of interior.

I once castigated a neighbor for pouring antifreeze down a storm drain so I should head the EPA.

I have seen the US/Mexico border in three states, I've crossed the Canadian border in two states, and I've seen a Cuban chug, so I should head up homeland security.

I've lived in Humboldt County, so I should be drug czar.

I once had a toilet overflow, so I should be head of FEMA.

I've been in the hospital, so I should be head of Health and Human Services.

I've been on unemployment, so I should be head of Labor.

I've taken Amtrak and various local public transportation systems, and I've also driven my car a lot, so I should be head of Transportation.

I can change a lightbulb and put gas in the car, so I should be head of DOE.


Finally, having a degree in soils and many relatives who are foresters, I'm GROSSLY OVERQUALIFIED for the department of Agriculture. :P

[billyskank]

40. You're not qualified to head the EPA

Your neighbour who poured the antifreeze down the drain is. :P

[hamsterjill]

39. Press Secretary!!!

I don't have any qualifications...so that qualifies me as Press Secretary! I'll just make everything up as I go along.

[japple]

42. I look at the moon and stars every night, so that should

give me the experience I need to be an astronaut or even head of NASA.

[Zuiderelle]

43. I love Goldfish crackers and I've had a wild life... Secretary of Fish and Wildlife

:bounce:

[Z_I_Peevey]

44. I am part Choctaw, so naturally...

Ambassador to India!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

45. I should be Secretary of Agriculture

because I display plants in my window.

[charlie and algernon]

47. i talked with both Catholics and Protestants in N. Ireland

I should be Secretary of State

[Ookie]

48. I sat on the "throne" today

so I'm qualified to be the queen!

[lost-in-nj]

49. I like to

reconcile my check book....
can i be like

:shrug:


lost


:rofl:

[bumblebee1]

50. Let's see- according to Sarah Palin logic:

I've been to Europe twice. I've also been to the Bahamas twice and Canada twice. Maybe I'm qualified to be Secretary of State.

While in Europe, I visited Italy twice, France twice, Germany twice and drove through Austria. An ambassadorship may be in my future.

I served 12 yrs in the Navy. My hubby retired from the Navy. Either of us can serve as Sec. of the Navy or Sec. of Defense.

I've driven across the country twice (east-west) and up and down the I-95 corridor a few times. I've even flown on a few planes. Perhaps Sec. of Transportation is in my future.

I've worked a few security jobs. Dept. of Homeland Security is also up my alley.

I've even taken a few drugs in my life. (Legally prescribed drugs). I've been known to drink alcohol a few times. While in the Navy, I learned to fire small weapons. The ATF would also be a great qualification.

I've been working in a warehouse for the past few years. I have plenty of warehouse experience. Maybe Sec of Labor is in my future.

Hubby and I visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Either one of us can be Interior Secretary.

Wow!!! With the above list, I'm more qualified to be VP than Ms Palin is.

[wickerwoman]

51. I turned down a joint once. Can I head up the DEA?

:er herm: :cough: once

[MountainLaurel]

52. I'm married to a law student

So therefore I can be Attorney General.

[Left Is Write]

55. I have lived near Canada my whole life AND I speak Minnesotan, so

I'm sure there's an international relations and/or translator position for me.

I belong to the PTA but am not on the board. However, I make up for not being on the PTA board by being a Girl Scout Leader, so clearly I am highly qualified for the office of Vice President. My radio experience, which includes both writing and voicing commercials as well as doing off-the-cuff stuff on-air, has me prepared for either TelePrompter reading OR "winging it" during important speeches.

[madinmaryland]

56. PTA Member means you are qualified to be head of the Department of Education!

[sasquatch]

57. My picking on Midlo makes me qualified to run the division of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

:D

[Rob H.]

58. I can make a mean paper airplane

therefore I should be head of the FAA.
