Did you see that little twit Palin on Colbert?

[Drunken Irishman]

She cracked a really lame joke about her son being the only Iraqi soldier with a snow mobile.

C'mon, Sarah, get better writers or at least crack fun of yourself, like Pres. Obama did.

Humility is NOT her strong suit.

[jgraz]

1. No, I decided to stick screwdrivers in my ears instead

Waaaay less painful.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

2. Terrible...do you think W. will be on tomorrow? He's GOT to be.

Everyone else has been.

[jeff30997]

3. Only if Cheney goes with him to tell the idiot what to say.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. I completely forgot about Cheney! Obama and McCain were Monday, HW and Big Dog were Tuesday, Biden

and Palin were yesterday....could Cheney and W be tomorrow? What a horrible thing to do to the troops.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Obama lied. He said we weren't torturing anymore.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

6. Meet the New Boss! Same as the Old Boss!

[Drunken Irishman]

7. lol

[AndyA]

12. I'm beginning to think it's all been a dream.

I THOUGHT we'd elected someone who promised to end the wars, bring transparency to government, and was a fierce supporter of gay rights.

Am I dreaming? Because the man in the office may look different, but some of his policies sure stink like the previous occupant of the Oval Office. :shrug:

Whatever happened to the guy who made all those promises? Surely he didn't say those things to just get elected, because if he did he's the same as all the others.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

20. Every politician breaks promises, but this does not mean that all politicians are "the same".

Kennedy, Nixon, Lincoln, Hoover, FDR, Buchanan, Clinton and W. all said things to get elected and they are not all the same. Does this mean that breaking promises was the right thing to do? No. Does it mean that they were correct to break these promises? No. It only means that binary thinking does not serve us well.

This is why I find the "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" meme to be faulty. Rather, one could more accurately say, as you did "I agree with X Y Z, I disagree with A B C."

The "New Boss Same as the Old Boss" reasoning gave us W. You will never ever convince me that we'd be where we are now if Al Gore had been inaugurated in 2001. But no. Rather than look at each issue critically, people just threw up their hands and said "Well, they're both shit on *this* issue, I guess they must just be the same on *all* issues."

[AndyA]

21. I guess a lot of it depends on exactly which issues are the most important to you.

If you're gay, and you are experiencing discrimination on a daily basis, or if you're about to be thrown out of the military because of it, obviously it will be pretty important to you.

If you're sick and have no health care, that would be an urgency that would be very important to you and those around you.

I agree that if Al Gore had been in office instead of *, things would be very much different (for the better) in this country today. Obama needs to figure out that he will lose support from those who have an interest in the promises he made and doesn't keep. If he expects to have the opportunity at a second term, he needs to get moving on some of these issues. Every day that goes by, he loses support.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

30. We agree on that.

[asphalt.jungle]

23. You would think the Pres is about to break some "broken promises" record the way they talk about

all the promises he's broken.

well here are some facts

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/
and some are just nitpicking.

[Drunken Irishman]

27. Did you not get we were joking?

Wow.

[tavalon]

8. Ain't that the truth!

[Phx_Dem]

32. I can't believe there is any way in hell that Colbert would have either of those

two pieces of shit on his show. Especially Cheeeeeney. If he does, I hope they get boo'd.

[opihimoimoi]

9. Pubs in general lack wit....they rather focus on the Nits....we see them picking Nits

all the time...its so distracvting but thats their purpose it seems....

[onehandle]

10. Pass. About once every hundred episodes, Steven has a guest I cannot take.

She is an embarrassment to modern day America and to women everywhere.

I will not watch.

[high density]

15. She was not a guest. It was a 15 second 'greeting' recorded for the troops. NM

[onehandle]

18. Oh, thank God. I can fast forward tonight on Hulu. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Is that the same snowmobile family members have sex on?

A real heirloom, if true.

[zulchzulu]

13. What was funny about her stupid comments were that no one reacted to her

It was a classic example of how she is merely an ineffective communicator and one who uses her children for props. Disgusting...

[OwnedByFerrets]

17. That was glaringly obvious. Nothing but crickets.

[rvablue]

24. I missed it last night. Please, oh, please tell me that is true, that she didn't

get a laugh from the crowd.

It would make my day, as you know her and Tawd and the brood were probably all sitting around the teevee, breathless at the infinite cheers they were sure they would get....and didn't.

Saw it the first two nights and both the President and the Big Dawg got some laughs. So the contrast would be very, very interesting!

[high density]

14. It was painful

Who went to her for a comment? Around here, snow machines make snow, they don't drive on it.

She really needs to fade back into obscurity where she belongs.

[zbdent]

16. and that joke was bullshit ...

how does she know that he's the only one with a snowmobile? If a Dem had said this, the media would be going on and on about how much of a lie that is ...

[rvablue]

25. The woman is tone deaf. She's obviously proven this yet again.

Her son after all was deployed from an Alaskan outfit. What makes her think her son is the only one with a snow machine?

It's all about Sarah. The woman doesn't know how to conceive a thought that doesn't orbit around her tiny, self-absorbed universe.

[Clio the Leo]

19. Or like Dave does EVERY night...

.... "I am NOT a celebrity ... an old man, yes, but I am NOT a celebrity!"

"There have been THOUSANDS of jokes I wish I hadn't told."

"Why are we all laughing about this show getting canceled?"

Works every time.

[jenmito]

22. Something like, " Please watch for my son Track. He'll be the only one on a snow machine."

I'm so sick of her and her kids' names and the "snow machine" comments and her faux outrage about the "media elite" and the "NY/Hollywood entertainers who don't understand the REAL America" and on and on and on and on...

[MiniMe]

26. Palin would have referred to it as a snow machine

Since he is there as part of the Alaska National Guard (or reserve, not sure which), I'm sure he isn't the only one who has one.

[TEXASYANKEE]

28. I thought McCain was great.

There was some self-effacing humor. And I am no McCain fan.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

29. Even Poppy was amusing.

But Yukon Barbie fell flat.

[Orsino]

37. Yeah. Palin's attempted joke fell flat, and Biden's was a bit disappointing.

McCain's and Poppy's were good. Obama's was even better.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

33. I was going to say the same thing. It isn't a Dems vs. Repubs thing because McCain was fine.

Even GW was fine. But Palin was awful.

[dflprincess]

36. McCain advised the troops that it was important to clean their muskets daily

and that that was something he had learned at Valley Forge.

[Phx_Dem]

31. I don't think she got any applause. I thought Biden and others did, am I wrong?

The one person who hasn't been on, and probably should, is Sec Def Bob Gates. Maybe tonight.

[Blue_In_AK]

34. Did she actually say "snowmobile"?

Not "snowmachine"? She is officially no longer an Alaskan if that is what she said.

[rainbow4321]

35. She's an idiot..she put on her Twitter where the show was going to be from

A few weeks ago... the entry said that she was taping her appearance for the Colbert Show for when it would be broadcasting from Iraq. Um, great, except, was it not supposed to be somewhat of a surprise/unannounced location???

[mzteris]

38. why tf was she even ON there?

I mean, she's a NOBODY!

I'm really really disappointed that she got the invite to do so. Who's next? Rush?
