Looks like **Jimmy Joe** gnawed his way through the leather straps again. Better get the trank gun and the net before he starts pestering the livestock… ---

> [@Jimmy\_Joe\_Meager](#): > > Remember that rule the Democrats made up a few years ago about how criticizing the President of the United States on foreign soil makes you a loyal, American patriot? Remember how gleeful they all got when the Dixie Chicks insulted Bush at a concert in England? Not that it’s really all that relevant, because I don’t mind that Sarah Palin said whatever she said overseas, but I’m curious as to exactly what behavior you are talking about here. ---

I don’t get it. You’re pointing out something retarded a republican did, and then blaming it on the democrats, because when someone did the same thing a few years ago, the republicans freaked out about it. If anything, the republicans are the hypocrites. _They’re_ the ones who said “you don’t criticize president on foreign soil” and then did it themselves. On the other hand, here’s how the democrats are relevant to this topic: …they aren’t. ---

> [@Rigamarole](#): > > Why would you think anybody cares what Sarah Palin is saying, regardless of what type of soil she is on? He’s apparently thinks he’s satirizing [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=533219). But the satire doesn’t make any sense, RW pundits really did say that criticizing the Presidents overseas was traitorous, while leftwing pundits never said doing so automatically makes you “a loyal American patriot”. Also, if he does think he has a devastating take down of **DtC** ’s OP in the linked thread, one wishes he would post it _in that thread_ so people involved in the conversation could see it and those who aren’t wouldn’t waste time reading a more or less incomprehensible OP. ---

So Sarah is a big fan of the Chinese form of governement? ---

Because she is doing it to build up foreign policy credentials in her next run at the top of the repub ticket, it matters. She is all they have. They could not allow her to waste her talents in the tundra. They had to remove her and try and educate and flesh out her resume. I do not know how this will do it, but that appears to be the plan. I am sure they have supplied her with a remedial political tutor to teach her what to say. It will not be easy. She is starting from the bottom. ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > So Sarah is a big fan of the Chinese form of governement? In fairness, I’m not sure she realizes China _is_ another form of government. She just thinks she’s in a really really really big Chinatown. I’m curious who the hell in China is interested in what Palin has to say. She has no political power whatever (she’s not even a governor anymore), they have no votes, so what’s the appeal? Is it just a front to funnel money to her somehow? ---
