As funny as it gets. Check the guy in the background as he slaughters the birds.
HAHAHA what a dingbat she is.

Nov 22, 2008 01:41 pm Uhg! She just makes my head hurt.
Nov 22, 2008 02:43 pm I heard about that a few days ago, kinda funny actually. Has little reflection on Sarah in particular, just funny and an unfortunate bit o' timing.
Still, an accomplished lady, regardless of political stance or position. Worthy of vice presidency, no, probably not, but it was fun watching her campaign, get the left all in a tizzy and stuff.
Nov 22, 2008 03:57 pm Yeah, funny for sure...
Man, this thread title would make a great album title!
Nov 22, 2008 06:42 pm Or a band name, Hue.
Ya got to admit that the audio alone is breathtakingly hilarious. The video is only icing. I laughed so hard when I first experienced this that I almost threw up in my mouth a little.
Having said that, in a parallel universe I would probably hit it.
Given a 12 pack and a large roll of duct tape, of course ;-)
Nov 22, 2008 08:55 pm its gotta be a death band surely?
i know very little about Palin, but she know's how to waffle on, oblivious to everything obviously.
wtf was she on about anyway? didnt make a whole lotta sense.
Nov 22, 2008 09:47 pm Oh well, probably getting her a lot of attention again. It'll keep her in the news for awhile longer.
I was hoping for more gore actually. The guy doing the turkey offing was funny as well standing there and looking right over with the Look at me face going on.
I'm with Herb on the laughing as well. Although I started pretty much right at the beginning knowing what was coming next.
As for hittin it. I don't think I'd need the 12 pack at all. She is pretty good looking, kinda got the library laddy look goin with the glasses and all. She'd jsut toss em aside and then let her hair down...
And well, ya know.
Nov 22, 2008 10:15 pm Noize, as I read your post I was startled for a second.

At first, I saw a capital G. Whew.
Nov 22, 2008 10:56 pm Duct tape would still be necessary.
And well, ya know.
Nov 22, 2008 11:04 pm Noize i was thinking the same thing, where's the gore man? i wann see heads gettin "ripped" off and the bodies duct taped to the roofs! not neatly cut off and blurred out. Ha Ha Ha.(blood curdlingly)
and yep, i'd give her a go f sure, she's hot! she can leave the glasses on though. they are kinda hot also.
and the 12 pack?
well that goes regardless.
Nov 22, 2008 11:22 pm OK Herb, I can think of a few things the Duct tape would come in handy for.
I'm a baaaad boy.
Nov 24, 2008 12:03 pm I think anything she does will be newsworthy for some time. For some reason the US just loves to know what she's doing.
As it aired on my local news, I laughed at the guy in the background. As far as the backlash, I don't think she really cares. Up here nobody gives a **** and we are amazed people care so much what our governor does. It was a turkey neck and little blood drip drip dripping.
Last but not least, she was aware of her surroundings. They informed her of the background and she stated she had no problem with it. She is back to being an Alaskan official and is quite aware of what would throw us into a fit, this was not it.
Nov 24, 2008 12:05 pm Nah, her star will fade as fast as it rose...
Nov 24, 2008 12:10 pm Personally, I hope so. She is doing her best to bring us the gas pipeline up here and I just want to get on with that. Tons of jobs will open up and my investment property will skyrocket :)
Nov 24, 2008 12:15 pm Yeah, I agree, let her get back to work, she seems like one of the more authentic politicians, she has her share of "scandal" like any politician, but, when the media and the left resorted to making an issue of her wardrobe and hair style, well, she must not have too much because that's really reaching at nothing.

2nd that. I couldn't imagine the pain of listening to her on the TV every day. Remember The Nanny?
OY.
Nov 24, 2008 01:27 pm Well your opinion is obvious Herb :), please elaborate for me though exactly what you hate about her. I am honestly curious if it's just her personality or was it something she did\said specifically?
Nov 24, 2008 01:29 pm That's just the left's way of being tolerant, understanding and open minded, by hating people with different opinions.
Nov 24, 2008 03:08 pm Back up a little. It's her voice. And yes, she would annoy me even if she were the governor of the state where I live.
You can try to pigeonhole me all you want, but your insults mean nothing. It's funny how when a winger hears someone disagree with someone in their party, that person must be a "leftie" or some other disparaged thing. Whatever happened to the middle? Most Americans reside there, despite what the media will have you believe.

As a professional woman, I have worked long and hard to gain the respect of my male peers - for them to see me as an equal, not as a sex object. When Palin winked at the camera during the debate, I tasted bile. How could she do this to her sisters? How could she sexualize something that was supposed to show she could compete with the boys on their turf, using their rules?
Sarah Palin DOES NOT represent me!!!"[/quote]
Now you have another opinion.
Nov 24, 2008 03:13 pm Yeah, I love it when women hate other women for being women...there is merit in being a woman. Woman that so hate being women that they mock women that are women are comical.
This just in, news flash, men and women ARE different, deal with it.
Women that have to work to gain respect among male peers either don't deserve it in the first place by being substandard in the job, regardless of gender, or, are dealing with incredibly ignorant, chauvinistic, piggish male peers whose respect is really not worth seeking.
It's sad to me that women now mock each other for being women.
Nov 24, 2008 03:40 pm Hi Dan - this is Tambra:
My heart breaks for the men who are intimidated by strong women. I feel very sad for the men who think that to be a "real" woman means to be coy and sheepish and flirtatious.
We women of the '80s had to break the stereotype portrayed by the media that women were weak and women were stupid. If you don't think this is so, watch any movie prior to 1980 where a woman is running away from something scary: what does she do every time? Fall, of course; with a big strong man to pick her up. And if she is crying? Slap her in the face.
And on the contrary; I had to work twice as hard doing the same work to prove that I was even in the same league as my male counterparts. Apparently, you have never been humiliated by being patronized by a man: "That's really something, sweetie. Who helped you with that?" or "We already have a woman in that department" or "If you unbutton the top button of your blouse, you might get that raise."
I agree. Men and women are different. Viva la differance! And stupid is stupid. It doesn't matter if you have a penis (Dan Quayle) or boobies (Palin).
I'm just happy that my husband is man enough to accept my strengths as well as my extremely girly femininity. And I, unlike Palin, would never use my girlieness to gain professional advantage. Ever!

Nov 24, 2008 03:46 pm Who the hell is Tambra Moser? Pailin set the women's movement back 15 years by winking? Is somebody exaggerating a bit maybe? I love a well thought rant but that seems like the statement from someone who may be a little extreme in her beliefs.
So it's her voice then? Heh, she reminds me of the lady from Fargo yet the accent is not as strong. Oh ya know.
I think what got me is the dingbat comment though. That leads me to believe it's not only her voice that bothers you.
Nov 24, 2008 03:52 pm Ok, no disrespect, but that is still an outrageous claim and 100% false.
Nov 24, 2008 04:05 pm This is Tambra again. I promise this will be my final post, then I'll leave you boys to whatever it is you boys do.
Cpt Tripps wrote: "Is somebody exaggerating a bit maybe?"
Yes, Mr. Infectious Disease, I was exaggerating a bit. I understand that no disrespect was intended. Thank you. My beliefs are no more or no less extreme than yours.
Also, being a huge fan of men (I love that men can beat each other up on the ball field then go have a friendly beer), I am a little disappointed that so many men were taken in by her little game. Before I became enlightened and realized that such foolishness is inherently devious, I used the wink-wink, I'm-just-a-silly-girl routine to get unsuspecting men to buy me booze. I laughed at their ignorance and their inability to think with their brains instead of their weeners. It was wrong for me to do so. Palin played that game with the American public, and it was wrong for her to do so as well.
Thank you for this opportunity to bring a woman's perspective into the boy's club. Have fun in your discussions. Oh, by the way, please be nice to Herb. He has his girly side too.

Nov 24, 2008 04:31 pm My problem lies not in being intimidated by a "strong woman" or whatever, my problem lies in these "strong women" looking down on women who choose to do things like stay home, rather than work, to raise kids, as they are some sort of lesser women and doing such a disservice to the so-called "women's movement".
My wife, for one, is an incredibly strong, educated women, worthy of respect, demands it, and won't accept less, who CHOSE to quit working (outside the home) for a few years for the far more noble task of staying home and raising children so as not to ship them off to some day care and let strangers raise them. Many "strong professional women" look down on that, and it pisses me off.
Now, that said, I am not saying you are or are not that type of person, I don't know you, but, when I hear all this **** about the "women's movement" and "strong professional women" fighting for respect of their peers, that is what comes into my mind.
The fact Sarah Palin can be a reasonably successful women, and still be feminine, I find refreshing
I for one personally lost no respect for her when she winked, I found it fun and lighthearted, something a lot of people in this world would be well served in having a little bit of themselves. People have sticks WAY to far up their asses these days and really gotta get a grip.
So, while my anger may be misplaced in this particular instance, any time I hear of the "women's movement" I think of unshaven militant lesbians trying to be men and looking down on women who choose otherwise.
Nov 24, 2008 04:33 pm Ok ok,
Being an Alaskan resident I can tell you I voted for Palin, I also think she is semi attractive. But that is not why I voted for her.
We have had corrupt self serving politicians in this state for far too long. There is a ton of big oil money up here and choosing someone who actually cares about the state instead of lining their own pockets is key. I may have been fooled as she may just be a great actor, but I honestly believe she cares about the state we live in and "that" is why I voted for her. You will have to give the modern man more credit, just like the modern woman. We have both evolved into better beings and I personally think your comments are more damaging to my view of a strong woman.
I guess it just bugs me when people form a reasonable theory based of their own personal assumptions and spout it as fact. You state "how many men were taken in by her game", who are you talking about? I don't know any personally.
Also, men know the game girls are playing in the bars yet simply don't care. Their is definitely some thinking with the weiner involved, but we are far from ignorant to the fact. You may be a fan of men, but you give them no credit.
Alas, I would never dream of being mean to Herb, he's HRC oldschool and pretty damn funny :)
p.s. by calling us boys instead of men, I am sure the men's rights movement was set back at least 17 minutes :)
Nov 24, 2008 05:12 pm i believe palin cares about alaska insofar as caring about alaska helped her personal ambitions. the signs are pretty clear to me. all those scandals all point to the same basic impulse. lining her own pockets, to palin, meant getting votes, as before she was governor, she was mayor, and she needed those votes. what a trick, to bring all that oil revenue to YOUR pockets, and doing it as a republican as well. it looks great in several different ways. it translates to votes and it's a great way to ascend the ladder. she seems to have taken some weird environmental stances as well because doing so helped business. but wilderness is part of alaska's business. i haven't seen many signals that she puts the state above herself. it's just that the state is so unusual and the leadership was so entrenched that this big obvious hole opened up for a maverick to storm in and play a kind of game with the people.
Nov 24, 2008 05:21 pm well, come on forty, she is just a politician, subject to certain non-negotiable habits and thoughts, just like all of them, left, right or center.
Trips, that is an obvious excuse to use, if they are pretty/handsome the opponent assumes that's why they got votes...it was the same thing with that scumbag John Edwards...cuz he had nice hair (or whatever)...it's standard fare to assume the other side in any case is so incredibly shallow and/or stupid they'd vote for that kind of reason...
...sadly, many are.
Both sides believe the other is ignorant and shallow. Hard and I disagree on damn near everything social/political, but I will never, ever say that about him, as he's demonstrated honest deep thought and conviction to his opinions, I feel they are wrong, but that's based on my own opinions, which I feel just as strongly and deeply for...
I dunno what I am ranting about, but there ya go.
Time for another shot of jag...damnit, where's Geoff when I got jag...oh, yeah, defending our country.

I love this forum. What a boring planet this would be if everyone agreed with each other.
Tambra says thanks for the banter ;-)
Nov 24, 2008 05:43 pm well...ummmmmmm...about that jag I mentioned...
Nov 24, 2008 06:08 pm Bwahaha! Shall I tell her she drove you to drink? She'd get a kick out of that.
Nov 24, 2008 06:30 pm Yeah, she's too strong of a woman, I was intimidated and had no choice but to pump up my beer muscles with Jagermeister.
Now I must go shoot guns and watch strippers, for I am man.
Nov 24, 2008 06:40 pm Aaaahaha. Message delivered. Don't forget to fart and scratch your crotch.
Nov 24, 2008 07:01 pm Forty, you statement shows you have no idea what I was talking about. How is demanding higher taxes and less breaks for oil companies going to line her pocket? I would think that may lose you some favor.
If in the future you have only read the cliff notes, I wouldn't reccomend going go to the book club meeting for discussion.
Nov 24, 2008 07:45 pm Its all an up and down thing.
We go up, and we go down. It doesn't matter if it is a women or a man. It happens equally on both sides of the gender.
On Sarah, I respect her for just being herself I gues. But ya, maybe she could have attacked things differently, but would it have changed anything? Maybe, but then again maybe not.
And yes, it is the differences that make this country what it is. And us here as well.
Nov 25, 2008 11:46 am I guess at the end of the day I don't see why it's bad for a women to use her femininity to her advantage. If a wink can get her a free drink, I guess I don't see the big problem.
Heck, I know my wife and her friends have gotten a couple rounds when out at times, a table full of pretty ladies laughing and having fun, some guys notice say something goofy, the ladies laugh, they get a round, come over and see them all wearing wedding rings. I find it funny.
I don't see what's wrong in that...or, what makes it set back some movement 15 years.
Now, I could see where it would piss off those unshaven militant lesbians I referred to earlier since they likely couldn't do that...just cuz, well, they are unshaven militant lesbians, but still.
Of course we could take that a lot further and get into getting things for sex and that sort of stuff, which, I see as immoral, but at the same time if a woman can have THAT much power over a guy that easily, that guy is just sad.
Nov 25, 2008 06:25 pm Er...is that a Burberry scarf she's wearing?
Chav.
Tsk.

you didn't hear the distinction i made, so you missed the point. i very clearly said that 'lining her pockets' for sarah palin in alaska meant getting votes. not cash. give alaskan citizens more money for themselves and, you know, they like that. so they like you. and while i no longer remember the details of that whole thing, conservatives were cool with it, for a particular 'alaskan' reason which i don't now remember. you could do that up there and still be a conservative, right?
palin initially was all about rising from an unknown and becoming governor. most of what she's done helped her in that regard. she was positioning herself for it while she was running for wasilla mayor, i heard. introducing issues like abortion and other big conservative ideas into a local election that has no place for them. i think is because like obama, she was branding herself. that's fine to do, by the way, but call it like it is.
lining her pockets with votes, not money--that was my point.
Nov 25, 2008 06:59 pm Jeez, you say it like it's bad for politicians to give more money to their constituents...forty, here's a tip for you...never become a campaign manager for any politician. :-)
Nov 25, 2008 10:15 pm all i'm sayin' is that she was smart about how to win attention. sometimes she acted like a dem, other times like a rep. she ended up being seen as someone who was for the people, because the people always benefitted in some way from her actions. all she had to do, seems like, was go against the entrenched powers whenever possible. i had a hard time seeing how her actions as a whole had much to do with what would be good for alaska the state. she seemed to do mostly whatever would help her out.
