IMA FRY ME UP SUM ROOSKIES

So, OK: Vladimir Putin is possibly plotting an air strike against the U.S.? Is there any other way to interpret what she said here? (Sorry for the pre-roll ad; I just parrot what Gruber links to, man.)

I look forward to my masochistic side making me feel oddly disappointed when these destructive, demented dead-enders lose. (If they win, I'm going to go, like, shitting-into-bell-jars crazy.)

This is the first clip of Palin I've heard, and, well... I mean... Oh my...

In complete fairness, I don't think she's saying that Putin is planning an air-strike on the US. She'd have to be talking about the world we actually inhabit to be saying that. But to verify this opinion I'd have to listen to the clip again, and it really hurts to watch someone embarrass themselves that much.

There's more footage over on urbaniak's journal if you need a couple more minutes of slackjawed wonderment. My favorite bit is the "trade as uh opportunity erm competitive duh SCARY THING!!" interjection at the end.

I can't stand to watch.

This is funny though:

Post Turtle

A young doctor in Texas struck up a conversation with an elderly rancher who had come in with a bad cut on his hand. They talked while the doctor was suturing the cut, and eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain: "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of an idiot put her up there to begin with."
