The Official Sarah-Palin-is-an-Idiot Thread

I envision this thread as being a one-stop resource for videos of Sarah Palin being an idiot. I know we've been posting a lot of these in other threads, but I thought it wouldn't hurt if we had an official one whose title wasn't issue-specific.

Also welcome: "Sarah Palin's so dumb" jokes.

For example...

Sarah Palin's so dumb, when she read on the Vice Presidential Candidate job application not to write below the dotted line, she put "O.K."

Sarah Palin is so dumb.

How dumb is she?

She's so dumb she thinks being near Russia gives her FoPo experience.

Sorry guys, I can't think of any good Palin jokes right now. I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

Here's a great link: http://palinquotes.sillycloud.com/

falcon, your last two posts have been GOLD. Seriously.

Jesus Christ, she is dumb.

But you know... over the past week I've spent a lot of time watching Sarah Palin videos and thinking about how stupid she is... and I haven't really taken the time to watch videos of Biden. This video reminded me how awesome he is.

It looks like she is struggling to come up with enough buzz phrases to fill her answers.

Biden had some dumb things to say too. Violence Against Women Act? That's pretty stupid. Violence against anyone is already illegal.

I wasn't real sure what that had to do with the question TBH.

He was asked which Supreme Court decision he disagree with. The court struck down his "Violence Against Women Act", and he disagreed with that decision.

That interview was pretty bad on both parties. Palin didn't have a clue what she was talking about and Biden needs to learn how to shut the fuck up. He did do better on the second question though.

I think his excessive use of verbiage and extraneous loquaciousness is going to be Biden's Achilles heel in tomorrow's debate. He will talk for hours and Palin will slip in with a one-liner, which, despite all her other forms of communication, she's alright at.

Welp, that's it. I'm voting for Obama.

I love David Letterman.

It just doesn't stop.

Tomorrow might just be the McCain camp's last opportunity to make a genuine comeback. No pressure.

Jesus Christ.

You know, if I were interviewing Sarah Palin, I wouldn't let her get by so easily.

curbyourentropy: Governor Palin, what newspapers do you read?
Sarah Palin: Oh, all of them, really any news source that we uh, have...
curbyourentropy: Which ones specifically?
Sarah Palin: Oh, you know... any that I can get my hand on, and in Alaska we--
curbyourentropy: Right, but can you name a few?
Sarah Palin: --we actually have a lot more access to things than people might think, because, Alaska's basically a microcosm for America...
curbyourentropy: Uh huh. Yeah. But, back to the newspapers... which ones do you read?
Sarah Palin: People have asked me, "Aren't you afraid you'll feel cut off from Washington D.C. up there?" and I just say...
curbyourentropy: Okay, seriously, Governor Palin? Shut the fuck up and answer my fucking question. What... newspapers... do you read? Or, really, just name a newspaper. Any newspaper at all. Just one. One newspaper... so that you can walk away from this interview knowing that you actually managed to answer a single... fucking... question. Please.
Sarah Palin: Well, like I said, I do have an immense appreciation for the media and I think what they're doing is important to the overall umbrella of shoring up the economy...



and then I'd slap her and leave.

at any rate, my point is, I think journalists need to really start calling her out on this shit right then and there.

I know Katie Couric often wears the deadpan "what" look on her face, but it fits so well here.

A slightly better one than the above

This weekend\\\'s SNL parody is gonna be brutal yet again. I love how they used exactly what she said and didn\'t change anything.

Joe Biden is a fucking idiot.

here we go

I like that guy.

Katie's face is priceless when she just keeps repeating "Alaska Alaska Alaska"

Tonight will definitely be all bodies contortion

What time does the debate start tonight? I need to make sure my popcorn is hot.

9:00 EST...I have to work late and I will be SO mad if I miss it. I'm literally having a party.

That's 6pm here. I'm glad i'm off today.

Unfortunately I'm going to miss it... I'm going to a concert in Philadelphia.

I'm not too worried, though, because I know that everyone's going to be covering the shit out of it afterwards anyway. And that's the only really important part of these debates... not the debates themselves, but everyone's reactions. Unfortunately.

damn that's 3 am here guess I'll have to youtube it again.

I'm so excited for this debate. I want to watch it as much as a new Bravo show, and that says a lot.

My house can't decide how to run the drinking game. What are you supposed to take a shot on? "Microcosm of America?"

Everytime Palin says "Alaska"

also for "like" and "whatever" when used out of context. ie. no drinks if she says something along the lines of "I'll do whatever I have to do in order to fulfill my duties to the American public, even if it's something I don't like." Of course she'd never say that.

I reckon we might be disappointed. Palin will do better than expected and won't make any horrendous gaffes. Biden will probably make one or two minor ones as well and the pundits will call it a victory for Palin.

But of course I'm hoping for an utter trainwreck that kills the McCain ticket.

Hurry and get your card before the debate starts!

lmao

I'm pretty sure this is what will happen.

Don't get your hopes up.

Sarah Palin plans to go on the attack in tonight’s debate, hitting Joe Biden for what she will call his foreign policy blunders and penchant for adopting liberal positions on taxes and other issues, according to campaign officials involved in prepping her for tonight’s showdown…

“This is going to finally put her back into a position where we see her like we saw her the first couple weeks,” a McCain official said. “She was herself. She was authentic, and people related to that. … Tonight, she’ll get into a rhythm. You’re going to see her in a way that you haven’t seen her yet.”…


tldr: she's gonna not answer questions or address specific policies, and will work off a script.

I wouldn't be surprised if she'll be considered the winner of the debate.

This supports the idea that she doesn't know how to answer questions about herself but she is beyond competent when it comes to tearing other people a new one:

So maybe some of you guys are right... maybe the only reason she founders in front of Couric is because she has no backup mechanism of dissing her instead of answering the question.

Less than an hour to go

I think we might even see the temporary re-birth of Palinmania (at least in the media), but it will be a flash in the pan again. Of course, that won't stop Obama supporters from freaking out about it.

it's actually over an hour. it starts at 9 EST
