INGRAHAM to Palin: Would you agree to a debate with Al Gore on this issue?

[democracy1st]

INGRAHAM: Would you agree to a debate with Al Gore on this issue?

PALIN: Oh my goodness. You know, it depends on what the venue would be, what the forum. Because Laura, as you know, if it would be some kind of conventional, traditional debate with his friends setting it up or being the commentators I'll get clobbered because, you know, they don't want to listen to the facts. They don't want to listen to some reasonable voices in this. And that was proven with the publication of this op-ed, where they kind of got all we-weed up about it and wanted to call me and others deniers of changing weather patterns and climate conditions. Trying to make the issue into something that it is not.

INGRAHAM: But what if it's an Oxford-style, proper debate format. I mean, he's going to chicken out. I mean, if you challenge him to a debate, do you actually think he would accept it?

PALIN: I don't know, I don't know. Oh, he wouldn't want to lower himself, I think, to, you know, my level to debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla.

So, there you have it, if you find a venue for this debate where the odds are totally stacked in Sarah Palin's favor -- like maybe a dogsled race that you quit halfway through? -- she's game! Otherwise, she'll get clobbered. This was "proven," you know! Totally "proven!" When she was afforded the opportunity to write an op-ed in the Washington Post -- free from any editors who might normally say things like, "No, this is wrong," or "Sorry, we actually would prefer to not insult or readers intelligence because we'd like them to keep buying our newspaper" -- and when said op-ed wasn't universally showered with praise and accolades, it absolutely "proved" that the media and Al Gore's friends and "commentators" were just out to get her. Millionaire lady gadabout just can't catch a break!

This is sort of Palin's de facto setting for media appearances. May I remind you, she hasn't even bothered to go on any of the Sunday morning political talk shows. Not even Fox News Sunday! She was a candidate for vice-president!

So, per Palin, Al Gore can either agree to a debate set up according to the rules and customs of Alaska's Miss Teen Wordpower, or refuse to do so and be called an elitist who won't "debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla."

1. He would chew her up and spit her out...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Fumesucker]

6. You forget who would be scoring the "debate"..

The Village and the M$M.

This would be a lose-lose for Gore, no amount of facts and logic would make the slightest iota of difference in the outcome.

You might recall that Dimson "won" the "debate" with Gore in 2000, according to the Village and the M$M, did you let your lying eyes deceive you?

[liberal N proud]

12. The f&#ing M$M

[SoxFan]

7. KATIE COURIC chewed her up and spit her out!

[Andy823]

16. Yep.

And all Katie had to do was ask "what do you read"! :evilgrin:

[YOY]

29. and she wasn't even trying to chew...

Palin totally just got masticated! <---look it up lurking trolls...then feel stupid for getting a hard-on.

[Yupster]

8. He sure chewed up Ross Perot

Of course, personally I think Perot was right and I did in fact hear that giant sucking sound.

Perot did get clobbered in the debate though.

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. I hate to say this, but

Al Gore lied his ass off in that debate.

[11 Bravo]

34. In all of my 58 years, I have NEVER said anything that I truly hated to say.

[jaysunb]

2. Debate WHAT ?

We are living in truly "absurd" times.

Al Gore in a debate with Sarah Palin....shaking head...:wtf:

[tabatha]

3. She used Obama's expression "we-weed" ?

[jobycom]

4. Like John Cleese said, Monty Python could have written this.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. Michael Palin is still the best Palin.

[NoUsername]

17. Hell, Monty Python could have written much better.

That's it. John Cleese for President. Screw that whole citizenship thingie. Cleese would rawk in the White House. We need someone there that tells it like it is, not someone that bullshits us. We've had waaaayyyy too many years of that.

[Yavin4]

5. IOW, If You Pay Sarah, She Will Debate

$arah is for $ale.

[itsrobert]

9. That's the edited version; Here's the real quote..

INGRAHAM: But what if it's an Oxford-style, proper debate format. I mean, he's going to chicken out. I mean, if you challenge him to a debate, do you actually think he would accept it?

PALIN: I don't know, I don't know. Oh, he wouldn't want to lower himself. I think I prefer to wear heels, he can wear the oxfords, to, you know, so he can be on my level to debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla.

[malaise]

10. Little ignorant LIAR Sarah Palin from Wasilla

Don't tempt me Grifter - you don't know shit about shit - now STFU.

[FarLeftFist]

13. Remember when Sarah Palin used to believe in global warming?

In 2008

[11 Bravo]

14. Cool, at least one troll has taken time away from choking his chicken while gazing at an ...

autographed copy of "Going Rogue" long enough to click "unrec". Well done, young sir! That kind of restraint will make you much sought after at the next Young Republican's convention.

[snake in the grass]

19. Wrong!

He wasn't gazing at a copy of "Going Rogue", while he was whipping the monkey. He was watching Palin Porn*.

[Canuckistanian]

15. Palin's job is to judge. She doesn't like being judged herself.

I like how she implies how Gore "can't handle the truth", but, if offered a fair debate, says that Gore wouldn't debate lil' ol' "Sarah from Wasilla".

Precious.

[Bitwit1234]

18. If she had one of those little black boxes on her back

YOU KNOW LIKE bush did, during the debates.

[rosesaylavee]

20. What stupid people.

Why would Gore think of even talking with this woman let alone debate her?

Ridiculous.

[BeyondGeography]

21. She'd be dismantled, but the media would focus on Gore's condescending manner

Wakemeupwhenitsover.

[O is 44]

23. And here I thought this woman...

did not know her limits! Ha

"I don't know, I don't know. Oh, he wouldn't want to lower himself, I think, to, you know, my level to debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla"

[Marr]

24. That quote isn't a parody?

That's amazing. I honestly thought I was reading something from The Onion.

"We-weed up"... sheesh.

[Raschel]

27. I thought it was the Onion too! What a nutso lady. Why is she copying the President?

Is she trying to say things she thinks are hip, like Michael Steele does? They are all so BIZARRE.

[Jim Lane]

25. My first thought was "Yeah, do it!" But on further consideration....

I don't think I could bear to watch it.

It would be like that scene in Million Dollar Baby where the up-and-coming boxer spars with the mentally retarded guy who thinks he knows how to fight. It was one thing I would change in an otherwise excellent movie. There shouldn't have been nearly so much of that one-sided beating before Clint Eastwood, as the manager of the gym, sees what's going on and angrily intervenes to stop it.

But in a televised debate there'd be no Clint Eastwood to rescue Palin. The blood would just keep flowing.

[Jim Lane]

26. removing dupe

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

28. were they smoking reefer during this?

[peekaloo]

30. we-weed up? sounds like she pissed her pants.

:shrug:

[mitchum]

31. I wish that Wolfkiller Who Cried Wolf REALLY was a victim...

rather than just playing the same damn tired game over and over again.

[JNelson6563]

32. lol

Her entertainment value is quite something. And what a fabulous case study in narcissism!

Julie

[tanyev]

33. I bet she'd do it if they'd let her bring the ghost writer who actually wrote her column.

That person can do all the talking, and Sarah can stand off to the side winking and gesturing like a spokesmodel.

[HipChick]

35. Remember Bushes bulge?.. We'd have Bulge-gate...
