Food editor Pat Coleman and I are in the office listening to Michael Palin accepting the vice presidential nomination for John McCain.
PALIN: Complete and Utter Spastic…
Coleman spent his last two years of high school in Alaska, where apparently the pregnancy rate is through the ceiling, so he is qualified to have an opinion here. We have concluded that Palin’s nomination simply must be a joke, but here are our thoughts, as they occur to us. Feel free to add yours…
1.She has no executive experience.
2.Although she is very fertile.
3.She can’t speak.
4.She sounds stupid.
5.”A ship in harbor is safe. But that’s not why the ship is built.”
6.Hockey mom.
7.She’s quoting senators from Ohio…
8.She sounds like she would rip your face off if you asked when her life started.
9.Joe Biden will “take this chick to the mat,” says Coleman.
10.The crowd is cheering “USA…USA…”
PALIN: Miss Wasilla, 1984…
11.It just seems so desperate….
12.Seriously.
13.She’s praising Hillary Clinton now. Oh my gosh.
14.The Republicans are expecting women to vote for them based on gender issues?!
15.The internets reveal she is considered Alaska’s “GILF.” The G is for “governor.”
16.I am feeling guilty about this post. Especially the sexist bits, and that comment about Michael Palin being “spastic.” Who knew. I’m sorry.
17.I’m over it now.
18.Now really: Why?
19.WHYY?!
Matt, you filthy bastard. Don’t ask why, just say “Thanks!”
HAWT.
And dumb, just the way America likes ’em.
You know the gals on Saturday Night Live are already trying to find the perfect Sarah Palin wig.
OH, BOY, IS SHE GONNA GET IT.
I think that a lot of what you wrote is sexist. But you know what? She was picked, at least in part, for her youth and gender, so that shit is fair game to make fun of.
I wonder how well she was vetted, since her name isn’t one that was kicked around much. It would be so awesome to find out about some skeletons in the closet. Maybe some oil-related. That would be nice and fun to watch.
And now The Sisterhood is banishing me.
Well, given that she is currently under investigation – by fellow Republicans no less – for corruption, pressuring people to sack he ex-inlaw because of a personal fallout, I’d say she’s easy meat for the Dems.
And anyway, anyone who calls their kids Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig has got issues…
Still, the Republican convention next week looks like being overshadowed by Katrina II. Oh, the irony.
Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.
GASP.
I think this pick was intended by McCain as art or something. Totally hilarious. But at least he has Alaska ON LOCK now.
Me likey – very VPILF.
GILF – MILF — she has five kids, so she is accessible. Wadda looker. Yow-za.
Well, I never! How dare you make such rude insensitive comments? And just what is this GILF and MILF nonsense. Really, now. What would your mother say?
I am a 53 year old mother and grandmother and if I wanted a female in office it would be Hillary who has skills this woman can’t even begin to imagine.Can you imagine her as president? Cause thats what we’d be stuck with when McCain kicks the bucket Which isn’t far off. I hope she gets torn apart by all democrats cause this is a JOKE>
I think SNL should do a high school type wrestling match between the gilf and Biden…Both is red jumpers and ear guards
