Palin is a Post Turtle?

[SunsetDreams]

This was a comment posted on CBSNews.com site in response to the article about the Palin camp shutting out the media.

"While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President .

The old rancher said, ''Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.''

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.

The old rancher said, ''When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle.''

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. ''You know she didn''t get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb *** put her up there to begin with."
