From Palin's Twitter account:
Do you believe in miracles?! http://u.nu/72z2f Congratulations, @JoeWMiller! Thank you for your service, Sen. Murkowski. On to November!

I would like to remind Becky that the Americans were not considered the victors in 1980 until the very last goal. This game is not yet over.
You probably shouldn't start celebrating until the fat lady sings. No offense.
Stunning late news, Lisa conceded. Unbelievable. I don't know what she's thinking.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Becky could twitter how Vanity Fair made her out to be a sullen, vindictive, bought and paid for drone for Scarah.
ReplyDeleteBrace youselves: Little Miss Raging Fraud gets the Vanity Fair treatment.
ReplyDeleteAnd IM and Gryphen get mentioned along with other bloggers.
Enjoy. It's delicious.

ReplyDeleteThanks to Beck, "miracle" is the new buzz word. If his followers feel that a bunch of geese flying overhead is a miracle, they have a pretty low opinion of god's power.
ReplyDeleteGryphen... congrats on making it in the VF article.
ReplyDeleteNever let Sarah throw any cans at you.
palin herself referred to it in one of her many vapid interviews as "this miracle on ice." so i guess it still could be the she-devil, but i wouldn't count on her, on the other hand, to get the tiny url correct. she would probably link it to disney's figure skating extravaganzas.
ReplyDeleteI believed in miracles when her bag of bones was sent justifiably packing on November 4, 2008.
ReplyDeleteOdious, vile woman. Oh, and Thank you for your service? What a bitch. No, I mean it. What a bitch.
In a reference to the center of the world Katie Couric, name one thing in Senator Lisa Murkowski's legislative career and near decade of service that she accomplished for Alaska?
Oh that's right, you don't even know what the Senate does, along with the VP, Governor, oil & gas regulator, Mayor,
ethical councilman or a journalist. You are stupid and average. Not just average, but below average. And tacky.
If you Alaskans want to make Palin's head explode, recruit Murkowski to run for the GOP nomination for President!!
ReplyDeleteStupid Sarah the sportsgirl. She doesn't know hockey! She only knows football and basketball rules: a typical American armchair quarterback housewife that enjoys the game. Not a sports specialist.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone knows much about that game, anyway. I think they're just throwing around a soundbite again. Sounds good and repeatable!
The "Miracle on Ice" - the U.S. did not get the gold with the Soviet Union win. The U.S. won by defeating Finland.
It was round-robin, not single elimination. Under Olympic rules at the time, the group game with Sweden was counted along with the medal round games (Soviet Union and Finland).
It was magic because of the USSR skill level relative to the amateur hockey players for the U.S. (they were not NHL) and the season's crappy play record.
It was a MIRACLE because they sucked!
Get it, Sarah? So the comparison for Sarah and Joe is what? Sarah and Joe are less skillful? They can beat Finland? They're crappy, but can pull off an upset?
Whatever.
Yes... WGE Sarah....I would find it easier to believe in miracles... than your version of "The Wild Ride " story.
ReplyDeleteSOME things... just can NEVER happen.
I wonder how Trig's REAL Mom feels now knowing and seeing How Sarah has abused 'Her ' poor Kid..?
Here's a brief recap of the game, so we all know exactly what the "miracle" is.
ReplyDeleteThe Soviets made some stupid mistakes. They played the final second of the first period with just three players on the ice. There was some kind of confusion and the rest of the team had already headed for the locker room. In the last few seconds, a couple of defensemen stopped playing and watched the clock tick down. The goalie started to move out of the goal and the U.S. scored. The first period ended tied 2-2.
In the second period, the Soviet coach replaced the goalie with the backup, the turning point of the game and described by the coach himself as "the biggest mistake of my career."
The Soviets dominated play in the second period, outshooting the Americans 12-2, but only scored once.
The second period ended with the Soviets leading 3-2.
In the third and final period, he U.S. only managed two shots in 27 minutes. Six minutes in, one of the critical Soviet players got a penalty. With Krutov out of play, the U.S. had a power play (this means the Soviets were shorthanded one player)and a significant offensive opportunity.
A random shot went into the net under the Soviet goalie just as the power play was ending (almost 9 minutes into the period), tying the game 3-3.
The U.S. got another goal with 10 minutes left to the game, leading to the final score 4-3.
The Soviets panicked, played badly, went all over the place. And lost.
The end. That's "The Miracle".
The Soviets went on to continue to dominate in hockey that season and the next, kicking American ass all over the place as usual. HC CSKA Moscow won more Soviet championships and European cups than any other team in history.
Interesting Alaska side note that Sarah Palin doesn't know, also too. The Soviet Red Army hockey team ceased to exist, obviously, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. They just happened to be in Alaska at the time (Dec '91-Jan '92?), playing what may have been their last game. In the Sullivan Arena. I happen to have 2 pucks and a jersey from that tourney.
But of course, Sarah could see them play from her house, right?
I'm really thinking that Joe Miller and Sarah Palin must have this confused with the other "Miracle On Ice," The Penguins of Madagascar.

You have to know $arah didn't write that as there is no friggin' way she would thank Lisa Murkowski for anything, let alone her service to the state as Senator. Palin doesn't do "thank you's".
ReplyDeleteLove the Vanity Fair article!
