Sarah Palin: just shut the fuck up, already.

Please tell me that career involves her accepting the offer from Playboy.

Additionally, her Lt. Governor ended up being elected in her place and has turned out to be total fucking loser as well, firmly in the pocket of the oil industry. He acts like a petulant schoolboy when the legislature won’t rubber stamp his agenda.

Oh, don’t worry. The death panels only target conservatives. It’s really a misnomer, as they’re only for retirees - the younger cases are merely sterilised. It should be in your copy of the Socialist Weekly, 14th week of 2009? Or you could check the index in the Little Red Book for a ref… I know circulation is low in the US. Cheer up though, once Obama secures his second term by flooding the ballot with illegal immigrants and felons voting multiple times, we’ll see a resurgence in Socialist Medicine and the Soviet Union.

Put me down as a Bush supporter.

I’d still do her.

As would I, but only prior to Astroboy14, not immediately after, nor concurrently.

You’re a man of principle.

This is probably a separate rant, but once an office holder is out of office, the title of that office no longer applies. Hence Sarah Palin should no longer be called Governor Palin, nor should Dick Cheney be called Vice-President. Period. Same for former presidents, mayors, aldermen, senators, etc…

Knock it off, dammit!!! Any talking head who uses those titles incorrectly should be flogged.

Sorry - just had to get that out of my system.

She’d quit halfway through the photoshoot to better serve America’s horny overwrought conservatives.

Says who? There are honorifics that traditionally follow people after they are no longer serving in that capacity. Judge, Ambassador, and Governor fall into that category.

As long as we have FairyChatMom and her flog, I imagine we’ll make do… :cool:

I’m responding without reading the thread, but I can safely say that I heartily agree with the title of this thread.

it is kinda like monkeys and typewritewrs

Sigh I remember when people were telling me that I was scared of Sarah Palin. Those were simpler times. It was easy to tell who had no idea what they were talking about. I wish I had kept a list.

I was scared of the fact that she could have been in a position to end up as President of the United States. Now, I am just amused.

This was Sarah Palin talking. I think we can rule out cleverness.

Traditionally, only the titles Governor and Ambassador stick with the holder when his term of service is completed.

Thus, Senator George Aiken left the Senate in 1975, and was quite properly referred to as “Governor Aiken” for the rest of his days (he was governor back in the 1930s). Similarly, Elliot Richardson was correctly known as “Ambassador Richardson” right up until his death in 1999, even though his ambassadorship was completed in 1975.

You are correct with respect to all other office holders. It is incorrect to speak of Presidents Clinton or Bush (either of them), or Congressman Armey, or Mayor Guilliani.

Palin, on the other hand, IS correctly addressed as Governor.

Actually she was born in Sandpoint Idaho. About 20 miles northwest of where I now sit. Her family moved to Alaska before her first birthday. They still love Sarah here. :confused:

Perhaps, but it’s funnier (and more accurate) to address her as Half-Governor Palin.

“*s”.
