Now THIS is what Eskimo Bingo looks like.
Still a game that I have never played in my 50 plus years living in this state.
I mean I've played a versing of it at work functions but we never called it such a racially insensitive name.
P.S. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Palin also links to this whiny little post from Nancy French's husband about how he was hated in college for being a Right Wing douchebag and then goes on to make the lamest attempt ever to defend Sarah Palin.

Where are the red (or snowy white) vests, ties, sweaters, socks and scarves? Looks to me like they are sitting around a pile of wood, not presents. Are any of them the needy boys living with Track? I think Sarah wants to show us she can still draw a crowd...especially since we criticized the small number of folks photographed at her turkey carving, with a cheese knife, demonstration.
DeleteThey are prepping for a funeral.
DeleteYou don't see any fun, I guess you had to be there. They do this every year? Is it one of those things Sarah brought up from the past and now they stage this to make it seem an annual tradition?
That may be a needy buddy next to Track. Only one other person seems aware the picture was snapped. it may have been one of their friends, not a Palin.
What all did she bribe these people to show up? That may be Junker straddling the brown bag gifts, looking at girls plate, grey shirt, hat, tatt. He looks like the kind of guy parents are thrilled when daughter brings it home. It is a good thing that Todd set them up.
Junker is also with tatts? I thought he was from a good Christian family. Are all the Christians in Alaska fake ones?

She was drooling over the thought of Track's warrior body when she mentioned is story tattoos.

The first time I ever heard of that game (and it wasn't called Eskimo Bingo) was when I saw it played on the TV show, "The Office." It was early in the series, and each person in the Office brought a gift to the Office Christmas Party. Some brought gag gifts, some brought cheap gifts, some brought very expensive gifts and Jim brought a teapot that he know that Pam (the girl he secretly loved at the the time) would like. We watched as the blue teapot was grabbed by different people in the office, and Jim's heart sank each time-- until, finally, Pam got it!
ReplyDeleteWikipedia calls the game Yankee Swap or White Elephant gift exchange, and there are plenty of variations. Usually, each person brings something. They can decide ahead of time on a price limit and other rules for the gifts. Since all of the gifts in Sarah's house were thrown into brown paper bags, (except for the red wrapped gift), I have to assume to Palin organized it for the photo op and supplied the goodies. The brown paper bags looks as if this was thrown together at the last minute, Sarah didn't care enough to wrap the presents with pretty paper or she was too cheap to waste paper that was just going to get ripped off, anyway.
It's also a rather rude game, stealing presents when the spirit of Christmas is supposed to be about giving. It also looks a little mean spirited to snatch a gift from a kid who really wanted that thing. It's on the order of another cherished family tradition, smashing the kid's face in the birthday cake. Were they all raised in the woods by wolves?
Here is the moral of this comment. The original gifts were brought by the three wise men to honor the birth of Christ. They knew that he was special because of the star which shined so brightly. They brought precious things, and it must have been important because it took them 12 days to get there. They GAVE! They did not play "Steal the Gold," or I
"I got the myrrh and I'm keeping it!" They GAVE items of great value to honor that significant birth. Frankincense and myrrh were incense that was burned in the temple in religious offering, and gold, of course was valuable. They gave significant gifts to honor Christ.
Palin joked about getting a gun as an act of civil disobedience last year, following the tragic shooting in Newton, CT. Buying a gun and giving a gun may be legal in Alaska. An act of civil disobedience is sitting in the whites-only section of the bus or sitting at the lunch counter where they didn't serve African Americans. Palin has no sense at all when it comes to the spirit of giving during Christmas. The gifts are not political statements. And, they do not have to be as precious as gold, myrrh and frankincense. The little drummer boy's gift was to play for Him. People give what they can. The spirit of stealing from each other may be a cherished Palin family tradition because it embodies Todd's famous expression, "What's in it for us?" Exactly, Todd, what's in it for you? Who gets the best gift? No, the answer should be, who gave the most thoughtful gift?
It's a shitty "game"; mean- spirited and creates jealousy where non hah existed.

DeleteI'm betting there was nothing in those bags. They had ONE wrapped present in the house and had to improvise for the photo shoot.
DeleteAlso, I've been an Alaskan since the '60s and never heard of "Eskimo Bingo." But I do imagine there is a sub-culture in Wasilla that mocks "Eskimos" the same way their grandparents mocked "Injuns."

DeleteWhat!!! They didn't invite Kristy Patullo? All of the Trolls were too drunk to hit the internet.
ReplyDeleteWho do you think is crazy glued to the ceiling fan taking the photo?
DeleteWho are those peeps? I think the little boy in the back of the photo is Trig, without his glasses. The guy in the red shirt and khaki vest, picking his nose, looks like Chuck Heath Jr. If that's CH Jr., then one of the two blonds must be his wife. I vote for the blond with her back to the camera, bottom center of the photo with three white stripes across her back. there are some boys near her, maybe on either side of her, Chuck's kids? (Don't they ever get to spend time with his first wife, their mother?) Maybe that's their daughter in the white outfit, the only little girl in the photo.
ReplyDeleteContinue with my guesses, because everything is so fuzzy, I see a girl in black looking at Trig. If it was Bristol, then we should be seeing Tripp. His blond hair would stand out, but I am going to guess that they are in Arizona. Behind that girl is Todd, and to his right, seated in the chair, it's Track talking to Sally.Where's Chuck Senior? I haven't any idea who the rest of these people are.
Is Trig carrying a present or his trusty i-pad? I remember that some time ago, Sarah learned that Trig could communicate by pointing to things on the i-pad. Chuck Heath Sr. gave a radio interview earlier this year where he said that Trig could say three or four words. Can't he speak? How's his therapy going? Is someone going to steal whatever Trig is holding? That'll teach him some Christmas spirit!
Interesting camera angle. Perhaps the fuzziness is on purpose, ain't nothing "cute" in the whole bunch of them.

I'm bored with Palin Christmas game already.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to see a genuine family. I hope Sunny and Levi share their cute little angel, Breeze. With or without Tripp, good if he is free to be with them. That might take a miracle. Especially Christmas morning would be the best with Breeze and her brother. Breaks my heart to think of what it is like for Tripp with trial fathers and all.
Sunny posted on her fb that they will be celebrating Christmas with the kids on the 26th because she used the plural I'm assuming that means Tripp will be there.
DeletePerhaps Tripp is w/his Dad, Levi, for Christmas since there are no 'blond' boys in the photo? It appears to be Bristol in front of the tree and to the right - in black - w/her legs separated. I see Trig in the photo - facing us - perhaps Todd is the guy standing near him since he seems to be the one that actually cares for the kid when in photos.
ReplyDeleteCheap, cheap gift exchange w/the brown-paper sacks. Those w/the 'true' spirit of Christmas would have wrapped them! Perhaps Sarah is trying to save some of her 'hard' earned money?
Wouldn't that have been a nice project for the kids-- a stack of red and green wrapping paper and bows, some scotch tape and a afternoon of fun wrapping all those copies of Sarah's books for the grab-bag. If Sarah gives each person there her book, no one would dare steal a copy from someone else. There's no advantage in it.

Delete12:36 PM
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice thought.
First, it is important to acknowledge the religious right’s entire issue in their war on Christmas narrative is predicated on the manner in which Americans express wishes for the winter holidays and nothing more. Their contention that “Happy Holidays” is non-believers’ crusade to extricate Jesus of the “Christ in Christmas” is as phony as their contention that saying “Merry Christmas” identifies one as a follower of biblical Christ. The regular defenders of the faith leading up to and during the winter holidays, Bill O’Reilly, Sarah Palin, and Fox News claim “Happy Holidays” is an attack on their right to celebrate Christmas by, as O’Reilly claims, dirty secularists crusading to “banish any mention of Jesus in the public square.” Attention whore and charlatan Sarah Palin has travelled the country pimping her book and warning Americans that the soldiers in the war on Christmas are “angry atheists” on a campaign to “abort Christ from Christmas” despite atheists could not care less whether Christians celebrate the mythological “virgin birth” or use the day to get material possessions at someone else’s expense.
ReplyDeleteThe glaring hypocrisy of those on the right, primarily conservative Christians, is they want Christ kept in Christmas during the Pagan winter holidays, but “abort Christ” from the policies and agendas they promote throughout the year. One does not have to be a biblical scholar to know the Jesus of the Gospels promoted and admonished his followers to feed, clothe, and care for the poor and infirm, or that he preached that the rich have to sell all their belongings and give the proceeds to the poor if they want to get to Heaven.
Although there are several Gospel accounts of Christ’s advocacy for the poor, his foretelling of judgment day and who will be “blessed to inherit the kingdom prepared for you” shows the importance he placed on caring for the poor. He said, “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me.” His followers failed to understand the meaning of the story and asked, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we welcome you, or naked and clothe you?” The Jesus Christ that conservative Christians are fighting to keep in Christmas replied, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:25-40). There is no better explanation of how important biblical Christ believed it was to care for the poor, but it is lost on conservative Christians in Republican and teabagger ranks.
The Christian conservatives fighting to keep Jesus in Christmas are the same hypocrites fighting to keep him and his teachings to care for the needy out of their policies that deliberately create more suffering for the poor; not relieve it as their “Christ in Christmas” preached throughout his ministry. In fact,
http://www.politicususa.com/2013/12/25/wing-hypocrites-christ-christmas-harming-poor-365-days-year.html
Most Americans adjust their holiday greeting at this time of year to fit w/their friend and family base. If they are Christian, we can say Merry Christmas; if they are Jewish, nothing need be said; if they are atheists or agnostic, most say happy holidays, enjoy the holidays or have an enjoyable season!
DeleteIt's easy as can be and will become more necessary and expected as the population grows and changes even more.

Delete...The Gospel According to Fox News preaches a tale of Christian persecution running rampant through America. While others around the world face imprisonment or even execution for their religious beliefs, Christians in the states suffer the indignity of facing a holiday season sans baby Jesus Christ's omnipresence in the public square. Instead of sharing parables of the Beatitudes in practice, Fox's Meghan Kelly's chose to push forth the blatantly racist proposition that Jesus and Santa are white; the line between Fox News and the Daily Show's parodies have now become almost indistinguishable.
ReplyDeleteKelly added to her extensive mythmaking repertoire by claiming that the American Humanist Association (AHA) is denying toys to poor children. Roy Speckhardt, executive director of AHA, recounts his televised appearance with Kelly where he tried to discuss how Samaritan Purse's Operation Christmas Child tries to use public schools as a workforce for their presents for conversions program. He noted:
'It's hard to take seriously a program that expects poor kids to convert just because they receive a Christmas present and a pamphlet about Jesus. If only it were so easy to convert, and de-convert, kids would be getting presents from all sorts of groups.'
Fred Edwords, the national director of United Coalition of Reason offered this perspective on the history of the war between evangelical Christians and atheists:
'The religious right started this whole "war on Christmas" myth when a few years back they launched their organized attack against calling the trees erected at the capitol and White House "Holiday Trees". They also boycotted major businesses that said "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". As a result, their pressure effected some change, and they gloated on their success. But then humanist and atheist groups decided to launch awareness campaigns during the winter holiday season, reaching out to those who may have felt excluded by all of this nonsense. And the religious right went ballistic. After awhile, however, these campaigns got predictable and became less effective. So fewer of them were launched. But the religious right was still there – never having needed atheists to prompt them in the first place. And this year is making that reality abundantly clear.'
Crossing the front lines to the atheist base, one finds a spirit of fun and playfulness seems to have replaced the angry atheist persona of yesteryear. For example, instead of protesting the presence of a nativity scene in the Florida State capitol, an atheist chose to erect a Festivus Pole made from beer cans. This pole was designed to commemorate the infamous holiday popularised by the television show Seinfeld joins other displays in the rotunda including a nativity scene, posters from atheists, and a crudely-made Flying Spaghetti Monster. (A petition to include a similar satanic display was denied.)
Accordiing to David Silverman, president, American Atheists, this shift from activism to pluralistic accommodation "sends the clear message that the season is not owned by one religion, but rather everyone, and reinforces the idea that Christianity is one religion of many. While this is correct, ethical, and American, it's a clear defeat for those who prefer the old days of inequality."
A recent survey by the Public Religion Research Group points to a shifting toward such pluralism, with close to half of Americans (49%) surveyed agreeing that stores and businesses should greet their customers with "happy holidays" or "season's greetings" instead of "merry Christmas", out of respect for people of different faiths. This number is up from 44% when they conducted this survey in 2010.

Christian activists show their love by covering Chicago atheist display and berating onlookers
A Christian activist group placed a banner over an atheist display at Chicago’s Daley Plaza proclaiming that “A is for Angels.”
The banner covers a sign set up earlier this month by the Freedom From Religion Foundation that explained that an 8.5-foot lighted “A” stood for “atheists” as part of a protest of Christmas-themed items on the public square.
The activists clashed Thursday with atheists at Daley Plaza over the banner, saying that objections to the counter-protest were inhibiting their constitutional rights.
“You shouldn’t be protesting the ‘A.’ Protesting the ‘A’ means you are surrendering our freedom of speech,” said a woman who described herself as a Christian activist. “Everybody should have their opportunity to speak here.”
She suggested that anyone who disagreed with her to “go back and read the Constitution.”
The atheist display celebrates the “season of the Winter Solstice,” and shows constitutional framers Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, as well as the Statue of Liberty, standing or kneeling in adoration of the founding document, which was adopted Dec. 15, 1791, lying in a manger.
“We celebrate the birth of the Unconquered Sun – the TRUE reason for the season,” the banner reads. “As Americans, let us also honor the birth of our Bill of Rights, which reminds us there can be no freedom OF religion, without having freedom FROM religion in government.”
William Kelly, chairman of the Remember America Foundation, said that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel should never have granted the atheist group permission to set up their display.
“I think if you actually read the text of the atheist display it’s actually more hate speech,” Kelly said. “It’s really not adding anything to the Christmas spirit, it’s really not even telling anybody who they really are or what they believe or what they want for society. They’re just saying they don’t like Christianity.”
He said the display could be upsetting to families with children who expect to encounter a Christmas tree or Nativity scene, but not atheist symbols that criticize their religious beliefs.
“The message that I’m bringing here today is that, as Christians, and especially at Christmas time, we’re here to spread a message of love,” Kelly said.
That’s exactly why the Christian activists printed up a banner, brought it to Daley Plaza to cover up the atheist display and berated onlookers who questioned them, he said.
“What we’re hoping that it’s possible that if we as Christians show our love and support for our atheist brothers and sisters that maybe, maybe they might be more tolerant toward Christian values, not only you know, at Christmas time, but the entire year, as well,” Kelly said.

Delete5:16--
DeleteOh, you're on thin ice all right, but it's not on any lake.
Where's the corpse? The whole family wears black and sits around brown paper bags waiting to pounce. I didn't read her book, but does she get to the part about "Eskimo Twister"? Everyone gets nekkid and greased up with moose lard, the twister board, action ready, machine washable vinyl, the arrow's (tip and all) is spun to a color and hilarity (and holiday memories to last a lifetime) ensues!
ReplyDeleteGotta love holiday traditions!!!!!
So Brancy's "Trial"/husband wrote a fable! These literate elites sure know how to cross market bullshit. Poor conservatard "free speech" lawyer feels his ilk are "mocked into liberalism". How can that be possible? If you're a true Conservitard, you've got cotton in your ears, your version of "Jesus" is "The one true" version, and trumps every other christian's version of "jesus". It's a "branding" issue, not a bullying/free speech issue. It's everyone's right to drop out of one school that protects free speech (Harvard) and join one that professes free speech AND conservative values (Liberty U).
Hee!
DeleteIt is a singularly unattractive group of people, isn't it?
I love that Track (I think that's him) is sitting with a drink in his hand, "warrior" tattoos on display.
And crazy uncle (the same guy who was wearing shorts in the awful photo from last year) looks like he's picking his nose.
How hard is it to take another photo? In focus?
My bet for the photographer is Chuck Heath Jr, the adulterer.
And four of the guys couldn't be bothered to take their caps off.
I'm pretty sure Sarah Palin wasn't on the scene. She was "sequestered" somewhere in the Compound, self-medicating. It used to be CrunchWraps, now it's harder stuff . . . . Of course for all we know, dear Todd is administering her "nutrients."
is sitting with a drink in his hand, "warrior" tattoos on display... which one is Track?
DeleteThat does look like crazy Uncle. He wants to make one of those Awkward Family Photo blogs.
the adulterer had a nice camera for the turkey and his outdoor shots, why would he use a cell for a shot like that?
These are not gentlemen, hats inside hillbillies.
I think you are right, Sarah is probably with her new catch. Not doing C Eve with family.
Liz, it's a cell phone camera, and not a very good one at that.
DeleteChrist in a handbag, the Palins all have iPhones and they can take high quality photos. They are just too lazy, arrogant and deceptive.
Delete6:07 AM
DeleteMost of all DECEPTIVE
It is Christmas and they demonstrate they fear the truth and reality.
Don't mean to pry, but since Sarah talks about Christianity did the Palins invite Brad Hanson over for some egg nogg and fellowship?
ReplyDeleteIs Todd still holding a grudge against Brad? It's not Brad's fault. If Todd can't satisfy his woman then someone else will. Right Glenn?
DeleteAll of those brown paper sacks contain G.E.D.'S for the future.
ReplyDeleteThat's setting the bar pretty high for a PALIN
DeleteNot to put a damper on the trailer park Christmas games, where is Todd's side of the family? How come Sarah didn't invite them to join in the Wasilla Hillbillies Native American Bingo?
ReplyDeleteHow would it look to invite Alaska Native Americans to play Eskimo Bingo? Maybe that's why Todd's side of the family wasn't invited? But why wasn't Todd's side of the family invited over for Thanksgiving? Did they Sarah play Eskimo Bingo on that day too?
DeleteNative Americans are not allowed to play that racist game? That's my guess.
DeleteTodd's mother Blanche is native. She and Jim Palin have been divorced for many years.
DeleteAnom 6:58 even divorced couples play Eskimo bingo.
DeleteThat's a good question. Do Eskimos play Eskimo Bingo? Maybe they call it Gringo Bingo?
DeleteWhat does the Palin and Heath families play on Martin Luther King Day?
ReplyDeleteNegro Bingo?
I think it's a family game. But who knows.
ReplyDeleteThis is blog worthy?
ReplyDeleteYes, why do you ask?
DeleteIf you're looking for something truly blogworthy, take a click over to Brancy's blog, at least she posts two thirds of a nativity set. Guess who's missing?
DeleteA) Mary B)Jesus C)Joseph.
Yep, Joseph's out of the picture, Mary's a single mom, just like Bristol, and Jesus doesn't have a male role model at home, just like Propp, er Tripp, er whoev's
What's the racist name of the bingo game Sarah plays on Cinco de Mayo?
ReplyDeleteFive rounds of Mayan Bingo?
DeleteI see no religious decorations, though I do see they dragged out and sobered up Trackmarks for a family pic, though apparently slut Bristol still hasn't learned how to keep her legs together.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that Trackmarks with a drink or a gun in one hand? Why is his other hand on the thigh of the Needy Buddy?
Delete7:49 Could it be that Track is attracted to his needy buddy?
DeleteSeriously, where is Todd's mother, father and siblings?
ReplyDeleteThere are NEVER photos of the Todd Palins being w/his side of the family. I suspect they really, really, really dislike Sarah OR Sarah thinks they are beneath her!
ReplyDeleteI know I'd never want to be part of her family! Barf!
They did have a picture at his grandmothers (I think). It may have been last year. The nose picker may be from Dillingham or that side of the family. Also Candance (?) is from his side of the family, pretty sure. She sold the money shoes, is always on the take for swag. Traveled free? Shady deals galore. She had a baby and may only do consultant work now.
DeleteIt looks like her by the tree, on the floor in a two tone sweater,
A lot of people on Todd's side of the family are very liberal. I know for a fact that one of his nieces is a huge Obama supporter. I suspect this may have something to do with why you never see them with the Palin side of the family.
DeleteFaye Palin can't stand Sarah and Todd and Jim barely tolerates Sarah. Chit chat on the golf course.
DeleteThere is no law that says anyone, liberal or not, has to be complicit in crimes. The ones close enough to the family have to know about the fake birth. Jim Palin went on campaigns with liar Chuck (senile) Heath, Sr. to promote the fraud and family.
DeletePoor Faye Palin if she is too weak to stand up to her lying family. She chose them and she could choose to do the right thing.
At first glance, I assumed they were all sitting around
ReplyDeletea fire pit because of all the logs assembled.
Then I realized that this is what Palin assumes is Christmas.
What a dreary and unfestive group.
Not a single wrapped gift , stocking or bow anywhere.
Looks like a UPS truck took a dump in their living room.
And poor Trig , all alone,
has been abandoned in the nose picking section.
Clearly, the Palin clan is trying to out grunge
the Duck Dynasty.
Emphasis on " nasty".
When does the book tour start again or did Sarah quit on this too?
ReplyDeleteHow do you sell the War on Christmas when Christmas is over?
DeleteThe blonde by the tree could be this girl?
ReplyDeletehttp://us4palin.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/20130717-043822.jpg
She is a nanny and lives or lived with Bristol?
That's the "story". cough cough wife swap cough cough
Delete
ReplyDeletetrying to find a recognizable Palin in this mess is like playing "where's Waldo?"
Damn it must stink in there? A circle full of stinky socks.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Tripp is with his father and Suny and baby sister. I hope so. I'd much rather be with the Johnstons than the Pains.
ReplyDeleteWhat do they store under the table?
ReplyDeleteGreen and red paper plates is festive for the Palins. Is that the kiddie table?
John McCain is crazy as it gets. Can you see this group anywhere near the White House? Shadow veep the creep. eewwww.
Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas!
I can't see Palin there anywhere in the pic. My thought is that she is still in Arizona and the pic was emailed to her to put up on her website.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteHello Everyone!!
ReplyDeleteWish you and your family Happy New Years in advanced.
Red and Green paper plates.
ReplyDeleteStay classy millionaire Palins!!

You don't get it, Eskimo Bingo Is The Reason For The Season.
Sarah Palin
ReplyDeleteTuesday at 8:50pm · Edited · Now THIS is what Eskimo Bingo looks like...
Sarah it looks like a bunch of white people who doesn't want to go to church to me playing a racist game. What's the next game after Eskimo Bingo?
"Pin The Tail On Mexican?"
Sarah is not a racist.
DeleteDidn't sports commentator Sarah screw a black man in her sister's college dorm room in order to get an interview while she was still dating Todd? Does that sound like a racist to you?
What she screamed afterwards in the hallways,"I FUCKED A BLACK MAN", shows that she did not believe that she could do it.
DeletePalin, whose latest book, Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas, is ranked an embarrassing #591 right now, in 2008 was asked by Katie Couric in a now infamous interview, “what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?”
ReplyDelete“Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years,” Palin responded, unable to name a single one.
On Monday, Van Susteren asked Palin if she had “any problem…about the manners of how” Robertson had made his anti-gay comments to GQ. “We don’t talk about it on television much, but if you actually the read article, there’s a rather and offensive — at least, I think — offensive description” of homosexuality, Van Susteren noted. “You know, there are two ways to say different things, and in the article and I know he’s a graphic type guy, but do you have any objection on the manners aspect, how he said it?”
“I haven’t read the article,” Palin admitted to her fellow Fox News colleague.
“I don’t know exactly how he said it,” she continued
Another interesting aspect in all of this is anyone worth their salt would want to actually know what someone actually said before they defended or attacked them. Palin often pats herself on the back for not trusting the “lame stream media,” which, considering Fox News signs her paycheck, is a joke. But if she’s not trusting the media to report what Robertson said, and she didn’t read the article, why is she even talking about it, not only immediately after Robertson’s comments went viral, but five days later, during a scheduled Fox News interview?
http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/sarah-palin-admits-she-has-no-idea-what-shes-talking-about-video/politics/2013/12/26/80803
Pretty damn dumb of anybody to defend a person's comment without even reading what they said.
DeleteIt's as stupid like telling Katie Couric you read everything but you can't tell her what you read.
Sarah Palin is Immoral Minority's bitch. What this picture is actually is saying is look everybody I do have relatives that like me.
ReplyDeleteRelatives that want to know what's in it for them. Isn't that the cousin that is the Queen of Swag and was always working it?
DeleteAnom 7:14 Cousin Swag.... too funny
DeleteSarah Palin
ReplyDeleteTuesday at 8:50pm · Now THIS is what Eskimo Bingo looks like...
No Sarah, it looks like you are playing Circle Jerk to me.
Phoenix BlackHawk > Sarah Palin
ReplyDelete35 minutes ago near San Francisco, CA · Dear Mrs. Palin...why don't you read the article and see what he actually said before you comment. I don't know one black person that enjoyed picking cotton or having to walk twenty blocks to the "coloured only" water fountain...if it worked. And if you're SO quick to defend Phil for making such comments, where were you in Skokie, Il. defending the rights of the KKK when they marched? See, Mrs Palin...it's not what he believes that is wrong...it's what he said and how he said it. Read the article in it entirety. Then I would invite you to attend my class here at Seminary when we discuss if it's a question of faith or just plain old American stupidity.

Sarah doesn't read anything. Sarah just says anything that will get her name and face into the news. It is scary to believe that this beauty pageant contestant was almost an old man's heartburn away from the presidency.
so Piper is about 8 years old in this photo and Bristol is pregnant.....things that make you go hmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteWhat photo? Top? Where is Piper? Willow?
Deleteadd to above comment - Willow looks preggers too.....how old is this photo?
ReplyDeleteWho is the booger eating man in the red shirt and tan vest? Must be a Heath since Sarah doesn't invite Todd's family to play, wait one....
ReplyDeleteESKIMO BINGO!
Is that Willow with the exposed ready to milk prego titties sitting on the floor in front of the chair on the top right side?
ReplyDeleteIf that is not Willow with the exposed milky white jugs, then who is that Trollop? If she is underage then shame on her parents. If she is of legal age t is she with child?
DeleteWho is that trollop with the exposed milking jugs? Is it one of Todd's Anchorage girls?
DeleteLook at that girl and tell me if her two male first cousins aren't trying to sneak a peak at her breasts.
DeleteLooks like she doesn't mind.
If she is underage then shame on her parents.
DeleteIf she is of age then sign her up Todd.
I thought it is cold in Alaska? Why aren't those puppies covered up?
DeleteBetcha old grandma Sarah is jealous of that girl's cleavage. As much as Sarah stuffs her bra and whatever it is she does, Sarah can't get cleavage like that.
DeleteChuck Heath Jr. had the decency and respect for their fans and uploaded better quality photos. Thanks, Chuck. Way to go!

Sarah Palin has the most incompetent Facebook ever for a politician (pretender). She fails again. Only proves her disdain for the suckers that send her money. teehee Glad they waste it on the charlatan fake birth fraud.

She doesn't have a thought in her head. Hiding behind a Bible quote is safer. What a con the daughter turned out to be.
If Sarah Palin's book is ranked in the 700's then how can she expect to go on her lousy book tour? That shit is embarrassing. Sarah should call it quits like she quit on the people of Alaska as their failed co-governor.
ReplyDeleteLooks like that kid to the right of Caint Get Right is eating out of an old recycled pie pan.

INSTEAD OF BEING PUT TO BED.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD MOOSE, OR...
NO.
(whimpers)
W-WERE YOU RAISED ON
THIS KIND OF VERY SORT OF RUSTIC FOOD?
YEAH. MY MOM NORMALLY COOKS IT, SO...
OH... LORD.
(dog whimpers, barks)
THIS IS SO NASTY.

I APPRECIATE ORGANIC AND FARM FRESH AND LOCAL.
BUT MOOSE LIVER?
YOU KEEP THINKING, WELL, MAYBE IT'LL LOOK BETTER
ONCE YOU COOK IT. IT DIDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
WHILE TRIPP CONTINUES TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH,
MELISSA AND WILLOW SIT DOWN TO DINNER.
UGH!
(mouth full) OKAY.
This rather bizarre gift exchange was done once at the office where I worked. I thought it was extremely tacky. At least you could not unwrap the gift before passing it on to someone else. I'd rather put some thought into what I was buying/making for a particular person. That's most of the fun of gift giving to me.
