Palin is a highly decorated military commander.

[Wetzelbill]

She led the Alaskan National Guard to victory in the Battle of the Bulge during World War Two, liberating Granada in the process and further preventing Abdul Qader Khan from selling off more nuclear secrets to the Sandanistas who were meeting with Bin Ladin, Saddam and this girl I used to have a crush on in my writing class but who turned out to be a horrible jerk.

So I for one, applaud Sarah Palin's service to our country and her extensive national security background, as the survivor of a couple of foreign airports, I can tell you just how good it is to be back home in the United States - except those times when we want to you know secede from the United States - and be all footloose and duty-free.

John McCain was a POW.

[NewJeffCT]

1. uh oh, Cheney might be pissed at her

if she stopped AQ Khan from selling nuclear secrets.

[Wetzelbill]

4. That's because she is a REFORMER

And John McCain is a POW.

[NewJeffCT]

10. I never knew that

McCain was a POW? He's so modest about it, I've never heard that story.

[Wetzelbill]

21. oh he's a humble hero, he'll be the first one to tell you that

Over and over and over. While on tv. In one of his ghost-written books. On his website. While being interviewed for a Vietnam documentary. In statements from his campaign, Out on the trail. The man flat out just doesn't want to talk about it.

2. ...

:spray:

[Wetzelbill]

6. this is the most serious post I made all day too

[im1013]

12. I know.. I can't help feeling all giggly and shit!!!

Just too much fun, it must be illegal in some way!

:crazy:

[rurallib]

3. Whoaaa ... and she was point guard!

[Wetzelbill]

5. That goes more towards her domestic executive experience I think

[rurallib]

9. True - decisions made in a pressure situation, though.

[Wetzelbill]

22. getting an assist is a lot like solving health care

Or something.

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. Looks like she's at the Gates of Hell now

What a woman!

[Wetzelbill]

14. It's all part of McCain's master plan.

You just can't question his judgment. For over five years he wasn't even allowed to have judgment!

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. McCain just didn't realize the Gates of Hell

Was his own campaign.

[Wetzelbill]

25. poor woman I almost feel like I shouldn't crack so many jokes

It's really McCain's grotesque judgment that put her in this position, and she was probably so excited just to have the chance that she accepted. But honestly, wtf was he thinking? Granted, I did say ALMOST, so I still have plenty more posts like this in the arsenal. But it is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.

[Matariki]

8. Ha! For all the LIES they tell, this might well be a quote

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

19. oh the bullshit goes deep, my friends

:)

[pinto]

11. America Frist.

:yoiks:

[Wetzelbill]

17. it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

A McCain presidency that is.

[Bunny]

13. I noticed that you very cleverly left out the part where she became Miss Alaska, but

stepped down immediately after winning the crown. This was right before she shipped out to the Bulge, and she didn't want her unit distracted by having a Miss AK in their midst. The first runner-up gratefully took over the crown and served her state admirably, while Palin went on to glory in The War.

[Wetzelbill]

16. I plan on including that in my biography of her "Sarah Palin: The Real Greatest Generation"

[HughBeaumont]

18. Reminds me of the 19%-ers who thanked Bewsh "for his service" in his staged 2004 appearances.

Guardin' our homeland against the mighty air fleet of the ubiquitous Cong . . . BRAVERY that none of us could ever IMAGINE! Certainly not even like that wussbag John Kerry, who only volunteered to be a human target on a Swift Boat. PFFFFFT. Here's a box of band-aids. Call George Bewsh when you get some REAL heroics on your record, Comrade!

[Wetzelbill]

23. those bandaids

If there is one thing that pisses me off it's that chickenshit stuff. The party of patriotism don't exactly respect Vets too much, that's for sure. I interviewed a homeless vet the other day, he lives in the dirt, pretty much. You don't see any RWers clamoring for guys like that, they just deny they exist.

[HughBeaumont]

34. They only like rich old and/or racist vets.

Preferrably big donors and gung-ho useful idiots who'll peddle the fear and hate.

I wonder if we'll see Fat Pat Peale and that vile purple heart band-aid making it's way up her 74 chins:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. She once won at Monopoly and therefore confirmed her economic and fiscal expertise

[Wetzelbill]

24. And because she owns the railroad she knows more about Amtrak than Biden.

[Canuckistanian]

26. Hell, I served with her in 'Nam

Yup, she was my platoon leader. We called her Snake. Don't remember why, but she was a tough motherfucker. We all took her for a lifer. But she was definitely a juicer - once saw her down a half bottle of Jack D in 5 minutes then disassemble, clean and reassemble an M1A1 in the field, in the dark.

Long story short, we were at Khe Sanh when the shit hit the fan. Sarah goes apeshit. She singlehandedly took out 7 Charlie platoons and once shot a low-flying MiG out of the air with an RPG! A fuckin' RPG! Can you believe that shit?

Here's the only picture I have of those days. That's Snake (er, Sarah) on the right.


She may be a Section 8 case, but she saved my ass in beaucoup firefights.

Anyways, that's my story.

[Wetzelbill]

28. Snake lol

That's awesome.

[grantcart]

27. that was before the AIP took her POW

[Wetzelbill]

29. which gives her more POW experience than Obama and Biden

put together.

[Maven]

30. YOU SIR ARE A GAWDDAMN PATRIOT!

GUNS!

UNBORN CHILD!

:patriot:

[Wetzelbill]

32. I should be hailed as one

If it wasn't for my treasonous liberal ways. And such as.

[medicswife]

31. And she regularly defeats the dreaded Al Quaeda Moose Brigade

and turns them into stew! We don't need Chuck Norris anymore, we have Sarah Palin.

[Wetzelbill]

33. They pretty much are the same person
