Palin invades Canada! In retaliation Canucks contemplating using rude language!

So Sarah actually decided it was time to finally leave the safe Christian soil of the good ole US of A and travel to Canada with their cold induced eternally erect liberal nipples and their evil fascist socialized medicine.

Yes Sarah was taking a huge risk of being attacked by Canada's uber-liberal media or, worse yet, of being ignored by Canada's uber-liberal media.

So how did she do?

Well according to Canadian reporter Colby Cash it was a struggle just to make it through her speech.

Strongest line of the night–most heartfelt–is her description of debt as “immoral”. Her clickety-clack pace of statistics and factoids is held up for a moment as she speaks slowly about the intergenerational unfairness of public insolvency. Soon, however, she returns to her exhausting regular rhythm. It’s a struggle to maintain attention.

Mr. Cash took copious notes and if you click his highlighted name you can share his pain.

This next reporter reveals that apparently in the past (now hold onto your heads tightly Palin-bots this might cause them to explode!) Sarah's family had received socialized health care from Canada! Here is a direct quote from Sarah herself: “My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse. Believe it or not – this was in the ‘60s – we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn’t that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada."

OH...MY...GOD! Can you believe that Sarah Palin's family were a bunch of socialists? Well thank God, and Todd, that she married an Alaskan native so that her family could receive free government subsidized health care in the good ole US....hey wait a minute! Is that hypocrisy I smell?

Well the important thing is that she did great in Calgary, so we Alaskans can finally be proud of Sarah for once. Though reporter Colby Cash returns to tell us that the deck may have been heavily stacked in Palin's favor for this particular speech.

In no other Canadian city of equal size would her denunciation of “snake-oil” climate science have been greeted with such unrestrained, joyous roars by a very elite, very wealthy audience. (The Palomino Room was saturated with old Reformers, including Stockwell Day. At the end of the festivities, Ralph Klein, perhaps eager for refreshment, came blasting down the aisle in my direction at the approximate speed of a maglev train.) I’m not sure there is even an American city where Palin’s climate skepticism and drill-or-be-damned pro-fossil stance would have been so well-received. Certainly there can’t be one where an appearance by Palin would be beset by a grand total of one (1) poor sad-sack anarchist protester. I know in Edmonton there’d be 20. (It’s the same 20 every time no matter what’s being protested.)

Ahh now I get it!

But you know what is of particular interest to me is that, at least so far, there has been no mention by the media of a Trig Palin sighting. We hear Piper mentioned a number of times, but Sarah's favorite prop is nowhere to be found. Which of course just lends itself to feeding the "conspiracy" about Trig's birth because of course he could not travel into Canada without a birth certificate, and that thing is more elusive than the Loch Ness Monster!

Things that make you go "Hmm".

(And while we are on the topic of babies, I would also be interested if anybody stumbles across a mention of Tripp Johnston either. I still have a few lingering questions about that child as well.)

Just to close this post out, and since I cannot think of a good closer right now, I will leave you with this very humorous video sent to me by commenter bondwooley, called "Last of the Last Straws". Watch until the end you will love it, I promise.)



Update: It looks like one of my brilliant visitors (Thanks Kat) caught Sarah Palin in yet another lie. (I know, go figure right?)

In the above link Palin claims that while living in Skagway her brother was burned and they took him to the town of Whitehorse, in Canada, for treatment. However in an article written in the Skagway News around May 0f 2007 (Using the guilty plea of the VECO executives as a reference point), Palin tells a completely different story: Her brother burned his foot badly jumping through a fire, and her mother had to take him down to Juneau on the ferry to the hospital.

Well gee which story is true? Did brother Chuck get medical treatment in Juneau or Whitehorse? Or are we to believe Chuck was terribly accident prone and needed to be treated for burns multiple times, in a variety of locations?

Quick somebody go shake RAM and tell her she is on the clock again!
