Still I would like to beat Letterman to the punch so here is:
THE TOP TEN REASONS THAT SARAH PALIN RESIGNED!
10. It was the only thing she could think of that would tear the media attention away from Michael Jackson’s death and bring it back to her.
9. Still has not recovered from the loss of equilibrium after all of that stupid winking on the campaign trail.
8. Finally saw video of one of her speeches and realized that she may in fact be crazy.
7. Found Todd’s name on a petition to impeach her.
6. Decided that all of this governing crap is getting in the way of her political career.

5. Lost her lucky cork bottomed shoes. Simply cannot govern without them.
4. After making her 2 million dollar book deal and scamming her supporters out of hundreds of thousands of dollars Sarah feels that she has milked this Governor thing for all that she can.
3. Just plumb ran out of new lies to tell.
2. Saw that Meg Stapleton rented “Single White Female” and now wants that bitch as far away from her as possible.
And the number one reason why Sarah Palin resigned
1. God finally closed and locked that door that he opened for her, because even God is sick and tired of Sarah Palin!
But I leave it up to Sarah Palin herself to really bring humor to your Sunday afternoon.
I am not exactly a fashion plate, but just what in the hell is she wearing?
So lets have a caption contest shall we?
How would YOU label this picture?
(Credit to the AP for this photo by the way.)
I realize I might be sued for this, but it's the truth. I saw that picture on another site this AM and I thought it was Palin stopping to sign an autograph for a couple with two kids.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until I saw it here, bigger, that I suddenly realized that was Todd bending down...and Bristol or Kendra or Willow or whatever their names are-- one of the older daughters.
and tigg and tagg or whatever...the two kids.
Hence, I caption this:
THEY ARE NOT MINE
And I am not referring to the kids in the stroller, either.
"I want the AIP to know I'm still with 'em, so I'll wear yellow instead of Red, White & Blue. You betcha."
ReplyDeleteOh, my God...this shows who the parents really are in this picture...Dud and Bristol. It is Bristol, not Willow in the pic...she is taller and has much longer hair, as seen here.
ReplyDeleteI am going to label it
"IRISH TWINS...and I've got the stroller to prove it!"
As I still believe Bristol is the mother of both kids. It is her protest statement, claiming both her sons. Come sue me Sarah...
Sarah's outfit is hideous, as usual she's got the double fisted blackberries and the red cork wedges on. Maybe she's trying to look more like a Grandma with that sweater, since that is something NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 75 would wear.
Bub Trig looking at his foot: "My mom went to Washington DC and got $150,000 worth of designer clothes... and all I got was this stupid shoe."
ReplyDeleteWhat is up with the long-sleeve sweater? Looks plenty warm to me.
ReplyDeleteHey Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteShe's wearing something knit for a nitwit.
I saw this picture also,too on HuffPo, and thought WTF? After all, didn't she twitter that it was something like 82* up there? And she is wearing that heinous yellow longsleeved HOT jacket? (and in Kosovo, with the troops, where it was DEFINITELY COOLER - she was SHORT SLEEVED?!???
ReplyDeleteAlso, too, that female pushing the stroller with the two grand kids of hers - ANOTHER one of those stand-ins for Bristol! (Bristol's hair is NOT that long...)
So... what to name it?
"LOOKEY HERE - I AM HOT!!!" (not 'hot', but HOT - because I am an idiot and wear too warm clothing in hot weather)
She was wearing the red-strappy,cork-wedged shoes at her resignation speech! They are definitely her fave shoes this summer!
ReplyDeleteMy Arctic Cat stuff is in the wash and this is all that I have to wear. In a couple of weeks, I have a big shopping trip planned as soon as my PAC and Trust Fund (I mean Fund Trust) cut me the checks. Manolo Blahnik, here I come!
ReplyDeletePalin sneaks into Juneau. Pajama-clad bloggers wonder who paid.
ReplyDeleteUsed clothing store special. Are those sun glasses the $250 Versace ones mentioned on another blog?
ReplyDeleteReally, let's just move on. She is small potatoes and always will be.
I want to hear more about the other issues in AK.
Did she find that crocheted sweater up in the attic at the Gov mansion?
ReplyDeleteUsed clothing store special. Are those sunglasses on Bristol/Willow, the $250 Versace ones mentioned on another blog?
ReplyDeleteLet's move on. She is small potatoes and always will be. There are too many others things to be concerned about in Alaska.
I crocheted this while I was in the Caribou Crazy House for Postpartum Depression (after Trig, whom I didn't birth, was born.)
ReplyDeleteWhen did it become acceptable to just prop a bottle in a baby's mouth? Don't mothers hold their children to feed them anymore? Or does Bristol just not know any better?
ReplyDeletei go with #10
ReplyDeleteShe will famously "change her mind" come 2 weeks.. give some blabbola statement on why that will be eaten up
She just hated seeing MJ all over the news.. Where was her Troop Photo OP??? hello people?? Fine I'll call a crazed impromtu speech that will get my mug back out there and give me something to Twitter about .. Can't focus on my famiy .. too boring.. I need drama I say!
Here are my caption------
ReplyDeleteWinkie & Her Grandbabies
"Can't wait to spend all that donated money on some fancy new designer clothes and a hairdresser. It'll go fine with my fancy pageant walking.. do ya think that the people fell for that I'm doing this for Alaska crap?"
ReplyDelete#6 says it all, in a very George W. Bush-like way. Governin's hard work!
ReplyDelete(notice how the baby carriage is labeled 'dreamer design'? Perfect!)
ReplyDeleteCaption:
"THE PALIN FAMILY FREE ON BAIL"
Trig: "I'd rather talk to my shoe than listen to Grammy!"
ReplyDeleteThe one dressed like Dumbo is Mine
ReplyDeleteThat's her Buttercup sweater!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it mentioned here or anywhere else on Alaska blogs yet, but Geoffrey Dunn wrote up his impressions of Friday's "stepping down" speech that same day, and posted it on HuffPo.
ReplyDeleteIf there's ANY upcoming books I want to read, it'll be Geoffrey Dunn's book on Palin.
He probably has had to add a few new chapters after the past couple of days. I wonder if he's telling his publisher and editor, "let's wait, there's probably more!"
Todd is trying to remember which one he is supposed to the father of
ReplyDelete"bristol palin's beautiful irish twins. $1000 prize for whoever find's trig's glasses......"
ReplyDeleteOoh, ooh, I have a clue!
ReplyDeletehttp://breepalin.blogspot.com/2009/07/sarah-palins-guide-to-professional.html
It's her Suck it up Buttercup sweater!!
ReplyDelete"On her way to sue everyone..."
ReplyDeleteUm...not #5, Gryphen...
ReplyDeleteI think she was wearing those shoes at the "stepping down" speech.
----------------
Really, you could Photoshop Todd, the two babies, and Bristol right out of that picture -- or snap your fingers like Jeannie and they'd disappear...
It's not too hard to imagine Sarah Palin would have exactly the same blithe attention-absorbing grin on her face -- she'd never know they were gone.
My caption is,
"Just you try to pry these Blackberries out of my hands! I'll NEVER give them up!!"
LOL! I usually refrain from making disparaging remarks about one’s looks or dress, but what the hell is that yellow thingy?! Looks like someone started out to crochet a toilet seat cover and combined it with an afghan blanket. Ok, let her have the RNC clothes back. That thing is just pitiful!
ReplyDeleteCaption for the photo:
ReplyDeleteSpotted at the parade was Sarah Palin in her suck-it-up buttercup yellow sweater, along with daughter Bristol and First Dud.
Gryphen, it was hard to hear you last night on Shannyn's show. Next time, speak louder!
Looks like Trig is trying to put his foot in his mouth. Better him than his grandmother, for a change.
ReplyDeleteHow about,
ReplyDelete"Awww! Look at Bristol's cute kids!"
Proud Granddaddy!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Anonymous, @12:00, she faked a pregnancy, she probably faked being a republican, too! Remember her nice video to the AIP convention?!
Why did I get a twin stroller? I've only got one kid.
ReplyDelete"I quit government so I could change America thru knitting more sweaters like this home made treasure I'm wearing. Notice the 'special effect-light reflecting tanning buttons' Imma gonna start a mail order business (from prison)...YEAP"
ReplyDelete~OR~
"Yellow, the color of COWARDS"
Juneau police about to make their capture of world's dumbest criminals..
ReplyDeleteNot to pick on the babies, but have you heard that in England they refer to princes William and Harry as "the heir and the spare"?
ReplyDeleteI think that's what we are seeing here.
Sue me.
A double stroller???? Isn't one child supposed to be Sarahs and one child supposed to be Bristols????
ReplyDeleteClearly it is a giant, crocheted doily, that has buttons in front, so you can either wear it, or drape it across a small display table to show off collectable figurines.
ReplyDeleteSyrin has left an extremely interesting comment on Shannyn Moore's blog:
ReplyDelete"There are several more RUMORS going around.
Such as: Palin was found guilty of abuse and misconduct for wrong doing with her ‘Legal Defense Fund” (WHY DOES SOMEONE ETHICAL NEED A LEGAL DEFENSE FUND?) millons of dollars are said to be un accounted for RUMORED embezzlement- Sarah Pac sponsored?… She was given an ultimatum (I think this is highly improper, possibly unlawful) by her appointed 3 member personnal board that she, if continues to be the Gov the TRUTH of the matter would have to come out and the whole mess and paper trail would have to be released to the public. However, it’s RUMORED if she RESIGNS she was told by that appointed 3 member board that determines ETHICAL matters in the State of Alaska that she can essentially TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a RUMOR"
Trig: "I'd rather talk to my foot than listen to Grammy one more minute!"
ReplyDeleteCan't think of a sufficiently clever caption, but I LOVE #6 on your list! Sums her up perfectly!
ReplyDelete"I am wearing yellow (instead of red) for easier transition into orange."
ReplyDeleteThose cops in the background need to lay off the doughnuts.
ReplyDeletemmmmmm douggggghhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnuts......
Looks like she's wearing her yellow sweater; her buttercup-yellow sweater, to be more specific.
ReplyDeleteHey, ya'll...Sarah wore that sweater to an official governor type event in May. Check out bree palin's blog or the official ak.gov website photo section...it's actually a three-peat sweater!
ReplyDelete"I'm quitting politics to start a new clothing line made out of used afghans. You betcha. Martha Stewart can just sit down and shut up, also too."
ReplyDeleteWow, if that is bristol!!! She has really gained some weight since the Candies' thingy ma'jiggy. Yowser, lots of weight gain on that one!!!
ReplyDeletehow nice - a twin stroller for "uncle" and "nephew"
ReplyDeleteSomewhat OT but did anyone else notice that Todd isn't wearing a wedding ring? Did he wear one before?
ReplyDelete...ran outta lies...
ReplyDelete..one or both of the health officials she fired - got dirt on her
...finally figured out that she does not know how to govern
...Germany asked her to move in
...upset 'about the death of M. Jackson
...she learned that her dad 'accidentaly' released some pictures taken when she was suppose to be preg with trig
...she finally figured out what 'G.i.N.O." stands for
...couldn't get anymore meds
...PrezO paid her to quit
...todds gf got pictures
Does anyone know what the t-shirt worn by the Bristol-alike on the left (Ha!!) says? I see a tattered flag and I think the word "change". Something tea-partyish, we can presume?
ReplyDeleteOh, and my caption:
"Global warmin'? It aint a-happenin'. Also."
7 and 8 are the funniest.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking number one should be....The house payment is due (IRS)
ReplyDeleteCaption with the police in the background? Remember that song, "They're Coming to Take Me Away!"
ReplyDeleteBristol's t-shirt says: If you don't love America, get the hell out (from John Rich of Big and Rich)
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin says: If you don't love Alaska, quit your job as governor and go South.
Contrarian here says, I like the sweater, especially for an informal, unofficial event. And the two infants live together and have the same caregiver(s), so a double stroller makes sense for strolling. No evidence here.
ReplyDelete"Who needs fashion consultants and fancy clothes?"
ReplyDeleteI pulled this outfit together in under a minute, then topped it off with my favorite red hat. Casual, yet elegant and doesn’t cost a fortune.
Wal-Mart is right down the road, ya know. Hey there, you all give a big shout-out to Bristol and her kids here! I mean HER Tripp and MY trig.
And also, too, why is she holding an Alaska flag and not the stars and stripes?
ReplyDeleteIs that WAR standing behind her? She heads a parade in NY, prancing down the street and yet didn't even respond to the AK parade committee who had invited her and had a car waiting for her. Yah, she loves AK.
ReplyDeleteShe's already acting like a private citizen, slinking along the sidewalk like a tourist (not that tourists slink) and is now out setneting? WTF???
RE the sweater - Palingates had a great post about GINO's fashion sense with photos awhile ago, contrasting campaign clothes with her normal stuff. What a hoot! Ze deadly yellow sweater was featured. Must be one of her favorites.
Caption: Maybe if I look at my shoe long enough, I can forget I belong to this family.
why the twin stroller, is trig going to be with bristol everytime she take tripp out?????
