Saturday Night Live's one-woman ratings bonanza, Sarah Palin will participate in the show's 40th anniversary special, a political source tells PEOPLE.
SNL producer Lorne Michaels invited Palin to return to the show and the former Alaska governor accepted, a source close to Palin confirms.
Palin, the Republican VP candidate who was regularly spoofed on the show by spot-on comic doppelgänger Tina Fey during – and after – the 2008 presidential race, showed she was a good sport by appearing on the show herself two weeks before Election Day that year.
No hard feelings since then? You betcha!
Let's face it after last week Palin would probably be willing to show up on a cable access show about vajazzling if they would ask her.
She is just lucky that SNL is apparently inviting just about everybody who EVER appeared on the show to this 40th anniversary special.
But to be honest Palin WAS good for the ratings. I mean let's face it people LOVE to see her mocked and ridiculed.
And hopefully this special will offer more of the same.
Does that mean that Tina and Amy will be back, too, also? Just a little message for Sarah Palin: Be care what you wish for. They can still see Russia and your house at the same time.
ReplyDeleteKind of like Colbert's finale when he invited everyone that had ever been on the show. I hope the dancing moose and eskimos and Jason Sudekis as "snow machine Todd" make an appearance as well, as should Amy Poehler doing her Sarah Palin rap while truly 9 months pregnant. (Amy had to do the rap piece because Sarah Palin was to afraid to do it herself)
ReplyDeleteBleech!
ReplyDeleteAnd double bleech, she is also going to CCRAP! (CPac) WTF! We will never be rid of this hag!
DeleteNo doubt Sarah needs a payday. It takes a lot of money to maintain the lifestyle that she has become accustomed to.
ReplyDeleteI have been patiently waiting G for you to post about Sarah so I could share this little gem courtesy of Jesse Ventura, who I guess has his own channel. This was from February 3 and it is worth the four minutes. He rips Sarah and her friend Kyle the sniper (who Jesse won a lawsuit against for lying about him in his book).
http://www.examiner.com/article/jesse-ventura-sarah-palin-is-delusional-and-desperate-for-talking-about-2016
Jesse sure doesn't hold back, does he. Thanks for the link.
DeleteI think this video is so entertaining.
DeleteJesse the Body...tells it like it is!
A real fun watch.
Sarah's going to be at CPAC, too. They never learn do they? I won't be watching SNL.
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us.
DeleteShe will be at CPAC but will she give her usual bumper sticker mouth mush and then exit the stage or will she stay for the questions that the people who are actually really considering running are going to answer? There's the difference, will the c4p fan club dare ask that of her? or are they just so thrilled that she got asked they don't care, their dream of Miss Moose Nuggets running blinds them to all those pesky questions, besides they think she is waiting like a master chess player to announce her move. Some people never learn.
DeleteThe latter, 3:24 PM, but they're so anal that they believe any darn word out of her mouth. Watch 'em when she backs off 2016 and gives her excuse. They just CANNOT, for the life of them, see how they're being played.
DeleteShe's a chess player, all right, like the kid on the playground that talks you out of your lunch money and promises you'll be invited to his next party. Money and attention is all she wants, and she'll stop at nothing to get it.
Oh come on, Sarah Palin is just an American Celebrity Curiosity at this point in her career, kind of like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, except without the sex tape. She's exactly where she always wanted to be.
Delete4:07pm
DeleteAt this point she doesn't have to "back out" of running, it's rather obvious to anyone with a brain that she is not running for anything. You can't pose with some ignorant rightwing military guy with a Fuc_ sign and run for POTUS. You can't have a third rate reality show and run for anything. You can't offer up a random mentally ill performance at the Freedumb Summit and be running for anything. She's comedy, right wing, evangelical dumbass comedy; she's now the poster child for everything that is broken and wrong with the uneducated and overly religious far right. She's comedy gold for most of us, but unfortunately there are 15-20% of Americans that identify with her and they always will because they are as dumb as she is. We can't fix that, we just have to realize that these kind of people exist and they will always be dumb and religious.
Of course she is, 5:03 PM, and anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't she taken God out of speeches? Those 4pees with their prayer beads and psalms....she is SO not what they think she is.
DeleteHow will she explain this to her fans? Without confessing to being a hypocrites? Sarah has always craved the spotlight and attention. She sold out the people of Alaska as quick as she could to go 'Hollywood'. Remember how she ridiculed Levi, calling him Ricky Hollywood? I hope they make so much fun of her. They did before, but she was honestly too stupid to realize it. I guess she's still on her damage control tour after her embarrassing speach in I U Wah!
ReplyDeleteHow will she explain this to her fans? They think that this is how a Rogue Independent Tea Party runs for president. Sarah can keep this act up until it is time to find for the 2016 primaries. Then, she will pull a "wait until 2020" moment.
DeleteSarah just wants to be in the public eye. As long as the spotlight is bright enough, she can't see that people are laughing at her.
Sarah is heading to Cambridge without realizing that people in England think that she is a huge joke. They can't understand how anyone that stupid could have been nominated to run for high office.
Explain it to her fans? They're over the moon at the pee pond! It's sure sign that she's still relevant, and that the media, GOP, and we are just a big bunch of jealous meanies!
DeleteLet 'em.......she's NOT running. She CAN'T and she knows it. Not in 2020....never again.
C4p take on her SNL appearance,
DeleteI can't see Jeb Bush, Scott Walker or even Marc Rubio going on SNL. I don't think they can't exude natural comedic instincts like Sarah Palin can. They're way too stiff for SNL. This is yet another reason why she's such a threat to the GOPe...she's a natural and this can't be copied
This is good for Dems. It shows finally that the GOP REALLY is a clown show, especially after making all that noise about her this last week. SAhe will take the shine right off their so-called serious 2016 hopefuls.
DeleteAnd SNL hasn't been watchable since I was middle aged, so who cares. It makes her look desperate after what she wrote about them.
Mildred
In my opinion, the best years were when Fallon, Fey, Poehler and Seth Meyers were in the cast. I remember watching the first show in 1975.
DeleteLet the pee pond have their celebration and dream their dreams. 2016 is not going to happen.
DeleteMildred you are so right. Remember the 70s when the SNL cast was half a dozen really funny people? Now the credits go on from A to Z for 5 minutes, and all of 'em together can't get the laughs of one Gilda Radner.
Delete<<and all of 'em together can't get the laughs of one Gilda Radner.
Deletehttps://screen.yahoo.com/roseanne-rosannadanna-smoking-000000279.html
Yes, Gilda, Dan, Jane... the Killer Bees, Coneheads, Olympia Restaurant, and Jaws at the door. Crazy but oh so funny. Palin doesn't belong in their league. How I would love to see Rosanna take her apart.
DeleteMildred
I like Father Guido Sarducci and his "Finda the Pope in the Pizza"!
DeleteRemember Eddie Murphy as the pimp "Velvet Jones", back when he really was funny??
DeleteExplain it?
DeleteShe'll tell them she's making the ultimate sacrifice. SarahPAC is running a deficit because they are not donating enough, so Sarah is going on SNL to generate revenue for the good fight.
Just FYI -- In reading Amys book it's clear that the piece was never written for SP. The notion that she declined was part of the bit.
ReplyDeleteThey just lost this viewer. Was looking forward to the 40th too, no way I'm watching it if she's on.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ make her GO AWAY.
ReplyDeleteWho wants her drunken impaired ass on to ruin the show. She is not talented or funny.
Not intentionally funny.
DeleteSarah Palin has always been about Hollywood, so are her daughters.
ReplyDeleteEven with their expensive toys and their surgically-altered faces they've all flunked, so they throw shit on Hollywood.
Every one of those bitchez would blow anyone for another shot at Hollywood. The tabloids can't spot you buying expensive designer shit in Anchorage, you have to send away for it and then instagram it- it's not the same, people just don't envy you enough.
No way I'm watching it either.
ReplyDeletepuke, are her drunken kids coming with her?
ReplyDeleteof course...they will ALL go since they need to get the "free goodies" like when they stole the expensive "goody bags."
DeletePalin Scavengers and drunks.
DeleteSimple; she is running out of money..If they are willing to pay her, she will be there....soon, she will be doing the game show circuit, then off to more reality TV
ReplyDeleteI see a hair extensions infomercial in her future...
DeleteEddie Murphy will also attend. Maybe he and Palin can reenact the famous Palin Rice dorm scene?
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about reenacting the womb shifter scene?
DeleteSarah Palin should bring props like a FUC_ poster or a god thing.
ReplyDeleteWe will see a bozo. The joke. She has nothing to bring to the table anymore. Won't watch.
ReplyDeleteSarah was not funny the first time she was on. She has no sense of humor and her "sarcasm" is just plain nasty.
ReplyDeleteShe thought she was being cool during the rap skit, but she just came across as clueless.
SNL has really gone down hill,it isn't even close to funny anymore., so having Sarah on isn't surprising.
And the woman and her daughter DARES to call Levi "Johnny Hollywood?" PFT...Hypocrites!
ReplyDelete'Ricky' Hollywood.
DeleteWell, I won't watch it if it means there's a chance I might see that horrid creature.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I have no doubt that she will wear her stiff, phony smile as she tries to pretend that she is just a fun-lovin' kinda gal that just loves her some SNL.
When she tries things like this, her thin skin always ends up showing, as well as her inability to relate to other people when the topic is not how wonderful she is.
If they have any sense at all at SNL, her invitation is, as someone above suggested, the same invitation handed out to everyone who ever appeared on SNL in the past 40 years, and at most she will be part of an ensemble, which won't please ol' Norma Desmond one little bit.
You know what will piss her off more than being the butt of jokes? Not being the subject of any special attention.
God only knows what the tasteless old barfly will decide is appropriate for this festive occasion.
I kind of enjoy seeing her emaciated frame and hair extensions and cheek implants. It makes me both laugh at her and be sad for her because she's aging so terribly and plus, she's way sick in the head, and that sometimes makes me not want to laugh, but then I just have to because she's such a bitch.
DeleteIts sally that you will all see.
DeleteLike a bush. Who wants the same old family. They were duds. If the second bush was a baffoon then then next bush is just punishment. Repubs get another candidate.
ReplyDeleteReenact the brawl. That will be so funny.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking they would do!
DeleteWill they allow Pissy Brissy to urinate on stage like she did in the guy's driveway? Have Trig on yelling "Bullshit"? Maybe a skit about pimps, with Taahhd challenging Velvet Jones (Eddie Murphy) for the "prize bitch" $carah?
DeleteSarah Palin -- a very good reason to NOT watch the show.
ReplyDeleteNot only this but she will be speaking at CPAC also, too. How will she pull that off when they will be taking unscripted questions? http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/cpac-changes-2016-audience-114650.html
ReplyDeleteShe will get out of it. Wait and see!
DeleteNo, they will have plants in the audience with questions that she will be aware of and have prepared answers memorized. Simple as that!
DeleteShe'll "pivot".
Delete3:35 she'll respond as she did to what do you read? and what did you learn about paul revere's famous ride? It's all good.
DeleteI will not be a part of encouragement to her vindictive nature and ugliness. I will never forget nor forgive .
ReplyDeleteI will just have to not watch snl.oh well.
I hope it gets cancelled. She brings bad luck to everyone.
DeleteOh come on, aren't you having fun watching her slide into irrelevance? Hello, she can't even get but one conservative radio/tv host to support her, and that's only because Mark Levin hasn't actually said anything about her, and in her mind omission is acceptance, but not really.
DeleteI wonder if she thinks they like her?
ReplyDeleteWill Sarah bring her dog to SNL and step on his spine so we can see if Jill likes it?
ReplyDeleteActually? NOT. the only reason to watch sarah palin is to confirm what has been said over and over again by many also making money off of the entire circus act. So What. Big Deal. hooter on snl good sport. still bad witch. make shame.

Oh, Mittens, we hardly knew ye. Turns out, it's just as well we didn't....
Its just too bad that you can count the people on one of Sarah's bony little hands that know about babygate and they will never tell. That would truly shut her up, but it will never happen... sigh
ReplyDeleteWhatever, she never looked pregnant except for in that one series of photos. Anyone with two eyes knows she didn't give birth to that kid.
DeleteSome day they will have to tell as there will be investigations. Who knew wwat and when..
DeleteThey better hide all the goody gift bags or sheand her KKKlan wil ltake off with them like they did before. Hide the towels, makeup, etc!
ReplyDeleteProof that c4pers are slooow...
ReplyDeleteHer speeches are memorable, and easy to follow. You come away knowing exactly where she stands on the issues.
yep....she talks like us....walks like us...
GOOD GOD! If I talked and walked like Palin, I would go to the nearest ER, assuming I had suffered a massive stroke!
Bless their hearts. I meet those that "walk and talk" like Mrs. Palin often in my life. They make my coffee, serve me lunch, prepare and deliver my dinner order, clean my home and car and pick up and deliver my laundry. I don't, however much I appreciate these people, want them to lead my country.
DeleteI don't want them to live in my country.
Delete5.25 I meet people daily who work in restaurants, stores, many service industries who have more work ethic and dignity with healthy self respect who are MUCH better than any member of this grifting family. People who take pride in what they do, even if the pay is low. People who do not give $carah a second thought, because they are busy living their own lives. People who are raising kids who do not drink and swear like the vile PayMe family members. They do not go on fundme site, begging for $$$ like Chuckles Jr. These people have something that is missing in the grifting PayMe's PRIDE.
DeletePalin has just thrown all her faux " manly " talk radio defenders under the bus.
ReplyDeleteAll that Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Erik Erickson,
Laura Ingraham and the rest have been wailing
about the past near decade ,
is that poor , naive, Christian conservative,
true patriot , Founding Father , Constitution,
Benghazi, American Sniper ,
Pure . Sainted and Blessed Mother Palin has been unmercifully beaten down by the evil, left wing ,
Communist, Socialist and statist media.
With Tina Fey and SNL being in the forefront of her hateful attackers .
So, how will her defenders explain Palin willingly returning to the scene of the crime ?
For the publicity she craves like it's heroin ?
Hmmmm ?
There are many and apt NSFW terms for Palin's pathetic and craven knee pad fawning on the media she pretends to hate.
The tea party Madonna is actually an SNL strumpet on the stroll.
An over the hill strumpet. Bristles will need MUCH more grooming in order to fill those "patriotic pumps" $carah is no Einstein, but Bristles comes across as borderline retarded. Oops, did I say "retarded"? Learning disabled, "Working disabled" also, too.
DeleteJust wait till Bruce Jenner gets done with his/her transition. she'll be more passable than Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteAt least she won't need a teleprompter or to memorize her lines on snl according to the pond scum;
ReplyDeletePeople worry too much about what Palin knows, but I gotta tell ya that having a near photographic memory like she does makes her unique. Once she has read something, it is hers forever.
She don't need no dang goper consultant!
As well as photographic memory, two incidents I recall indicate her brain can perform two mental tasks at the same time.
Bwahahaha!
Palin does not have a photographic memory! You need to watch "Game Change" - she had to use cards for reference. They tried to teach her and she couldn't learn and retain things (memory!).
DeleteShe remembers FOREVER when it comes to things being done to her, or said about her, that she hasn't liked. But, a great memory for real facts and information? Forget it!
Watched her too much in Alaska - review the facts!
maybe she has a photogenic memory...
DeleteI watched some videos today about Gabby Giffords and the crosshairs & then Sarah & her FU poster with crosshairs---and then heard she was going to be on SNL & at CPAC. She should not have been given after Gabby. The media who cover her, and the groups who extend invitations, are as sick as she is.
ReplyDeleteMeant "She should not have been given "any attention"
DeleteAgreed. She should have been an outcast from then on!
DeleteThe Hypocrisy of Sarah Palin Has Never Been More Transparent Than Her Proposal to Eliminate Religious Freedom
ReplyDeletehttps://malialitman.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/the-hypocrisy-of-sarah-palin-has-never-been-more-transparent-than-her-proposal-to-eliminate-religious-freedom/
Last year, Palin spoke to writers Tom Shales and James Miller for the latest update to their oral history of the show, Live from New York.
ReplyDelete“I think SNL is egotistical if they believe that it was truly an effect on maybe the public debate about who should lead the country in the next four years,” she said of the show’s supposed political influence. As for why she decided to appear the first time, Palin added, “I know that they portrayed me as an idiot, and I hated that, and I wanted to come on the show and counter some of that.”
“If I ran into Tina Fey again today, I would say: ‘You need to at least pay for my kids’ braces or something from all the money that you made off of pretending that you’re me!” Palin said of the comedian who embodied her so expertly seven years ago. “My goodness, you capitalized on that! Can’t you contribute a little bit? Jeez!’”
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/sarah-palin-will-also-be-appearing-on-snls-40th-anniversary-show/#disqus_thread
I'd love seeing Tina Fey tell Palin 'fuck you' and then turn around and thank her for being such an idiot, liar and fraud which provided her some great material to mimic her and make WAAAAY more money than she (Palin) ever will in her lifetime!
DeleteWe all know, it's all about the money with Palin as will as public attention, be it good or bad! Make this go around BAD for Palin, Tina Fey! Haha!
Haha!
This really irks me. Palin did not pay for any of her kids' braces because they got them for free because of their Native benefits. If she paid for them it was her choice.
DeleteShut the F up!
(I have no problem with Native health benefits and support them. It is Palin claiming she had to pay for braces when she didn't have to that bugs me. Among other things.)
Kinda like the lie she tells about how all those ethics complaints were bankrupting them when the state paid for her state involvement. She was the one who hired the fancy expensive lawyers to defend her (tell her tricks to get out of the mess she got herself into).
Also, too, the biggest ethics complaint expenses came from the complaint she filed against herself so the personnel board could rule in her favor.
Also, too, too. I guess she got her money's worth from the fancy lawyer who thought that one up.
BIA Indian healthcare doesn't usually cover cosmetic things such as braces, they cover preventive and basic health so she and Todd would have had to pay for braces. That's one of the things she probably didn't lie about.
Delete7:59pm
DeleteTina Fey is too much of a lady and has too much class to behave that way. Even though she knows Palin is an idiot she's always been polite when questioned about her and was even polite to Mrs. Palin and her kids when they were backstage at SNL. Even though she abhors Palin's politics Tina Fey is a much better person than Mrs. Palin and knows how to behave in polite society, whereas the Palin Klan all act like wild animals. That's why Tina Fey is a popular successful and well thought-of person while the Mrs. Palin is a laughing stock has-been.
Actually you are wrong about the braces, in Alaska they are paid for by Native corporations.
DeleteWhat I would give to see a SNL re-enactment of the drunken brawl!
DeleteRegarding braces. As we all know SP kept her kids front and center all the time even back before she was gov. Does anyone recall seeing a picture of any of the brats with braces on? I sure don't. She lied, again.
DeleteSo Sarah Palin chooses to ignore SNL's Palin incest skit while she feigns outrage over lesser jokes from other corners of the media. The woman excels at hypocrisy.
ReplyDeleteExactly! She chooses to go back on the one show that actually did take a cheap, unnecessary shot at her family back during the 2008 election. It was suggested she appeared on SNL the first time even after the incest joke because she felt she had to for the campaign. Fair enough: So now what's her excuse?!
DeleteProof that Sarah has no convictions. She complains about the mainstream media giving a false image of her yet willingly appears on the show that mocked her more than any other program. Anyone who thinks she's serious about running in 2016 deserves to be fleeced within a penny of their net worth.
ReplyDeleteAnd they are, 4:55 PM!
DeletePete at the pond thinks she will announce her run for potus on snl! Yeah, that sounds fitting of a palin run!
DeleteHey Sarah Palin at SNL will you scream, “Don't you know who I am!”
ReplyDeleteI just hope the 'gotcha' teleprompter goes rogue again.
ReplyDeleteNope. Nope. we wont watch that Dope! neither will our friends. poor choice snl.
ReplyDeleteIf they have invited everyone that has been on the show (40 years!), for this celebration, I would think Palin would not be on for a very long period of time.
DeleteBut, I would suspect Tina Fey to have a much bigger roll due to her long involvement with the show.
Forty years of folks that have been on the show is a LOT!
Wouldn't it be fun being there to see the reception Palin receives. Wonder what kind of extra special treatment she has requested for being there? Haha! Best probably to get her on and off as quickly as possible! Much more important folks will be appearing!
In the Las Vegas Review Journal Feb. 4, an article by
ReplyDeleteKathleen Parker called "Palin Sacrificed By Gop for
Expedience." Rep. Strategists Failed To Nurture
Ex-VP Candidate.
As I remember. Palin slammed the door in everyone's face
who tried to prepare her for questions from the Press,
plus the gotcha questions. She said ," I'm Going Rogue."
She , one evening, opened the hotel room door to two
men , who arrived to prepare for the next day's press
meeting, in nothing but a bath towel wrapped around her body..She was rogue, for sure!
As far as I am concerned, she sacrificed herself! Palin will
jump on the victim part of this article and never let go!
Saturday Night Live maybe you can create a skit from the crap Mayor Sarah Palin put our town Wasilla through?
ReplyDeleteMayor Sarah was very focused on the sports complex that was built 1.93 miles - 3 minutes down the road from Mayor Sarah Palin's house but the Commander-In-Chief of Wasilla forgot to buy the land before they started building on it.
The other problem is Wasilla’s new expensive overpriced hockey rink complex which was built 3 minutes away from Mayor Sarah's house was built far from Wasilla’s population center. Our kids can’t walk there or ride their bicycles to Sarah's hockey rink complex.
SALON
Palin does have two major accomplishments to her name as mayor: the by now highly publicized sports complex on the outskirts of Wasilla, which she pushed through city government, and the less well-known emergency dispatch center, which she also brought to her hometown.
The sports complex, however, is seen by many local officials as a budget-busting white elephant.
“I feel sorry for our current mayor, because of the mess that Sarah left behind,” said Anne Kilkenny, a respected government watchdog in Wasilla. “And the sports arena is still a money loser for the city.”
“Sarah was very focused on the sports complex,” said Wasilla council member Dianne Woodruff, who began serving after Palin’s tenure. “But somebody forgot to buy the land before they started building on it. Somebody dropped the ball. It was the fault of the people running the city at the time. As a result, we’ve spent well over a million dollars more than we should have. And we’re still paying for it.”
Today, the sports complex sits like a huge airplane hangar outside the Wasilla city limits, in a clearing in the woods.
Since Palin’s administration decided to build the complex far from Wasilla’s population center, kids can’t walk there or ride their bicycles. On a recent, drizzly afternoon, the cavernous building sat nearly empty. Inside, two girls glided aimlessly around on the ice rink.
But the quiet arena still held Palin’s charged presence. A wall plaque commemorated Mayor Sarah Palin and her City Council for constructing the edifice. And on the walls, big, bold quotations urged young athletes to attempt impossible, Sarah Barracuda-like feats: “‘You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.’ — Wayne Gretzky.”
http://www.salon.com/2008/09/17/palin_mayor/
Curious, because Wasilla’s expensive hockey rink was built 3 minutes away from Mayor Sarah Palin's property, did Wasilla’s new complex increase Sarah Palin's property value?
Deletedid Wasilla’s new complex increase Sarah Palin's property value?
DeleteSure, a lot. It was built with free supplies. So whatever the land was worth plus a new free house that she can sell for more than nothing is a win!
I can't believe SNL actually asked her and I can't believe she accepted. Too funny. Of course I'm going to watch it. Why boycott the whole show, when she'll only be on it for 5 min. or less? They've got a lot of people to run through if the rumor is true that they invited everyone who'd ever been on the show. (I realize how difficult it would have been to narrow down the list of invitees, since the huge egos in Hollywood would explode if they were among the non-invitees. However, every Bride's family has coped with the same kind of decision and they manage to get through it).
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope she's not the one who gets all the press. Also, even though Palin is the least likely of the CPAC speakers to run in 2016, she'll probably be the one to get the media attention--unless they actually are done with her. I'd love to see the media completely avoid both SNL & CPAC because she justs doing both to see her name in the news. Sick of her.
DeleteDid the Las Vegas Review Journal written by Kathleen Parker mention that Sarah Palin is unqualified to do anything?
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin believed that being the governor of an energy producing state qualified Sarah Palin to be recognized as the United States of America's Energy Expert even though energy expert Sarah Palin never received training in this field from Wasilla High School, any college or university, nor hired or trained and educated by any oil or energy producing company on this planet.
Mayor Sarah Palin of tiny Wasilla hired a town manager to do the job she was elected to do believes she is presidential material.
Gov Sarah Palin who quit the job she was elected to do 1/2 way through her only term as governor of Alaska believes she is presidential material.
I wonder if Kathleen Parker believes that Sarah Palin is presidential material?
When Sarah was elected mayor of Wasilla, she got 400-500 votes TOTAL. That TOTALLY qualifies her to be president of the U.S. !!!
Delete7:29 PM John McCain is the one that referred to Palin as the 'energy expert' when they were on the campaign together.
ReplyDeleteEveryone in Alaska just laughed! It was obvious she had not been questioned about oil and gas issues to see how much she actually knew! Which was zilch and still is today!!!
I see Gilda doing Emily Litilda?, going off on Palin having DS and Chevy correcting her.."Never mind"..
ReplyDelete7:38 Why didn't Gov Sarah Palin correct John McCain during the 2008 presidential election campaign when he first announced that Sarah Palin is America's energy expert?
ReplyDeleteBy keeping her silence and allowing John McCain to parade her around America as America's energy expert makes Sarah Palin more guilty than John McCain trying to boost unqualified Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin is not qualified to be America's energy expert or America's spokesperson when it comes to family morals, how to raise children or speak about being a Christian or raising Christians.
If they are lookcng back at 40 years of SNL, you betcha that Sarah will be the joke when they bring Tina back. Tina both wrote and performed on the show, won Emmys, 30 Rock and movies vs. Sarah whose 15 minutes have now expired.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:38 said:
ReplyDelete7:29 PM John McCain is the one that referred to Palin as the 'energy expert' when they were on the campaign together.
Well Anon 7:38, Sarah Palin and John McCain sat down together on FOX and did Energy Expert Sarah Palin correct her title of United States of America Energy Expert?
OOPS 1.) Instead, McCain promoted Palin as “one of the foremost experts” on energy while echoing her own distortions about her record on a natural gas pipeline that supposedly helped earn her prominent place in the world of energy experts.
(Excuse me: Instead, McCain promoted Palin as “one of the foremost experts” on energy)
OOPS 2.) McCain answered, “Well, first of all, she's probably one of the foremost experts in this nation on energy issues.
(Did we hear that correctly? McCain answered, “Well, first of all, she's probably one of the foremost experts in this nation on energy issues.)
And she's responsible for – make a long story short, a pipeline, a $40 billion pipeline bringing natural gas from Alaska down to the lower 48.”
Besides the fact that there is no agreement to build the pipeline and it's not a $40 billion project, Palin's work on the pipeline would hardly make her “one of the foremost experts” on energy in the country.
OOPS 3.) And so I think that there's nobody more qualified to take on our mission of becoming energy independence.”
(What did John McCain say about Sarah Palin?)
And so I think that there's nobody more qualified to take on our mission of becoming energy independence.”
OOPS 4.) Yes, Palin is a national security maven, too, according to McCain. “Energy is national security. National security is energy,” he said in all seriousness.
(So now Sarah Palin is a national security maven and Sarah Palin didn't say anything about that?)

FOX News' McCain/Palin Infomercial Pimps Palin As “One Of The Foremost Experts” On Energy
Mavericks” John McCain and Sarah Palin sat down for yet another FOX News infomercial on last night's (10/8/08) Hannity & Colmes staged on their behalf by Sean Hannity and without the inconvenience of any possibly disagreeable questions from Alan Colmes. No maverick questions for the mavericks allowed! Instead, McCain promoted Palin as “one of the foremost experts” on energy while echoing her own distortions about her record on a natural gas pipeline that supposedly helped earn her prominent place in the world of energy experts. Self-styled“journalist” Hannity never questioned a word. With video.
McCain Makes the Case that Energy State Governors Are Great on National Security
ReplyDeleteJoe Sudbay is right–this interview, in which McCain is challenged to explain why Governor Palin is qualified to be a 72-year old heartbeat away from the presidency, is terrible.
But I’m most interested–disturbed, really–by his latest explanation of how Sarah Palin is qualified on the matter that McCain says matters most: national security.
Reporter: You say you’re sure she has the experience, but I’m just asking for an example. What experience does she have in the field of national security?
McCain: Energy. She knows more about energy than uh probably anyone else in the United States of America. She represe–is a governor of the state that 20% of America’s energy supply comes from there. And you all know that energy is a critical and vital national security issue.
McCain is basically arguing that serving as governor of a state that supplies a lot of America’s energy gives a person great national security credentials.
Hmmm. Governors of states that supply lots of energy … states that supply lots of energy … lets see, those would include Alaska, Louisiana, …
Ut oh.
And Texas.
Now aside from the fact that McCain is wrong about his claim that Alaska provides 20% of our energy supply (it provides 20% of our oil, relatively little–at least thus far–of our natural gas, and insignificant amounts of coal, nuclear, wind, or solar power), he’s basically arguing that a guy like George Bush has the national security qualifications to be President.
And we saw how well that worked out.
All in all, I’d say, McCain’s making a great case for voting against Sarah Palin.

If they're inviting that many people they won't have time for Sarah. She'll get a quick 1.5 second cameo along with everyone else. Not even as much as Colbert's guests got. She certainly won't get an entire bit.
ReplyDeletePlus, I'll bet she backs out at the last minute.
