Pales In Comparison

Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.  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 that term, the listener asked him what a 'post-turtle' is. The old farmer 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 farmer saw a puzzled look on the other'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 a dumb ass put her up there to begin with."

Yep, that's a post turtle.

 

 

 

The Couric Interview

The more I watch this, the more I think that this is the most important issue of the campaign. There is absolutely NO WAY that this woman will ever be ready to be POTUS.

Oh, Yea. She's Ready To Lead

She's just not ready to debate.

"The Obama and McCain campaigns have agreed to an unusual free-flowing format for the three televised presidential debates, which begin on Friday, but the McCain camp fought for and won a much more structured approach for the questioning at the vice-presidential debate," according to the New York Times.

"At the insistence of the McCain campaign," the Oct. 2 debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden "will have shorter question-and-answer segments than those for the presidential nominees... There will also be much less opportunity for free-wheeling, direct exchanges between the running mates."

"McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Ms. Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive."

Are you feckin' pullin' me leg with this shite?  She might be at a disadvantage debating Joe Biden, but she's ready to sit across the table from Vladimir Putin or, or, or Any. World. Leader. and protect our interests?

If John McCain is elected, we are indeed a stupid nation.
