Sarah "Joe Six-pack" Palin

"It's time that normal Joe Six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency," the Republican vice presidential candidate told radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt.

Wow, this explains everything! She would have been so much better off to say Joe Public. We now know the moderators and interviewers should be asking Joe Six-pack questions. So let's ask her!

• Joe Sixpack:

  Can you name at least 2 different brands of beers?

  
  
• Sarah Palin:

  Umm.. Coors Light and Bud Light.

• Joe Sixpack:

  Fantastic answer.

• Joe Sixpack:

  Do you know how many beer are in a sixpack?

• Sarah Palin:

  Umm...you know in Alaska; we like beer. Beer is good

• Joe Sixpack:

  Let me rephrase the question. I'm talking about the actual number of beers that are contained within a sixpack of beer.

• Sarah Palin:

  Umm.. who cares about the number. It's all about drinking them all.
  

• Joe Sixpack:

  Another fantastic answer. You're on a roll!

More astounding Palinism's

What is a Palinism?

It is a word used to describe "dumb random thoughts or ideas that have nothing to do with the question asked"

Sarah, Do you read newspapers?

......

For example, a big story in the media today is Palin’s curious response to – again Katie Couric – about where the Alaska Governor gets her news.

Gotcha

People can debate all they want about “gotcha’ journalism” and whether Palin has been a victim of it. But asking someone what newspapers they read cannot be stretched even by the most radical of partisans to be in that category. That would truly be a bridge to nowhere. Not even Rush Limbaugh would try to cross that one.

It was a pretty simple question.

“When it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?” Couric asked.

“I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media,” Palin responded.

Take two

You think Couric may have had a follow-up to that response? You’d be correct. And it wasn’t a devious follow-up. In fact, it was two words. “What specifically?”

Same response. “Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years,” she said.

This could lead some viewers to think aloud, “How about throwing the hometown paper a bone? The Mat Su Valley Frontiersman or the Anchorage Daily News. Or heck, say the Weekly World News. But just name one.

Third time’s a charm

No dice. When Couric tried one last time, Palin responded:

“I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too,” she said. “Alaska isn’t a foreign country, where it’s kind of suggested, ‘Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?’ Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.”

--------------

Another amazingly outlandish answer. I was joking earlier about somebody asking Sarah Palin a question about how to make an Apple Pie and wondered about the response.

What? Another Palinism? Can't be true!

Katie Couric quizzes the governor of Alaska on her Supreme Court knowledge.

You can almost hear the awkward silence that follows. This really wasn't a trick question or a gotcha based on the info that follows.

COURIC: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?

PALIN: Well, let's see. There's -- of course -- in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are -- those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know -- going through the history of America, there would be others but --

COURIC: Can you think of any?

PALIN: Well, I could think of -- of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads toda

Guess Sarah Palin forgot about her quote she made earlier in the year.

Supreme Court Weighs Exxon Valdez Damages Feb.27,2008

When the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review that lowered judgment, Alaska's Republican Gov. Sarah Palin said it was a "kick in Alaska's collective gut, " and called Exxon's lengthy appeals "a case of justice delayed being justice denied."

Canada's Jungle Politics with a nattering squirrel

I had a chance to watch the French Language debates featuring the representative leaders of Canada's political parties.
The left side of the political spectrum put up quite the united front and it became quite clear that we are faced with Jungle Politics with a nattering squirrel.

Let me explain!

Brotherhood of Chimps

You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours

"Cooperating improves the chance for survival and reproduction, and it could give mammals two types of evolutionary advantage. If you cooperate with a brother, who shares many of your genes, both of you may have more offspring."

- Explains how the "left" side of the political species continue to reproduce.

Lets' look at Chimp and the Left Intelligence.
Chimpanzee Intelligence

• they have sophisticated hunting(political) strategies that require cooperation, and allow animals to achieve influence and rank by sharing meat(or not running candidates in closely contested ridings)
  
• they are highly status conscious and manipulative, capable of deception(sounds like the left side of the political spectrum)
• they are analytical and problem-solvers, clearly capable of insight and complex "cognitive performance" in both the wild and in captivity, and particularly adept at analyzing relative relationships(when the left is cornered, they band together to create a united front)
  

Let's look a little closer at these "chimps" from the Left.

Stephane Dion


Confused? Making up some new policies on the fly during the debate. Calm down monkey.. it will be alright, you'll figure out how to run a good political campaign in another election... if you're lucky.

Gilles Duceppe


Always looking for a hand-out? Always thinking about what is good for Quebec and we know you don't care about the rest of Canada. Why are you even allowed to debate? Bad Monkey! Bad monkey for all of Canada.

Jack Layton



Ahh... the caring and thoughtful monkey but has no real clues about appealing to all of Canadians by becoming a more central party. We (the majority of Canadians) don't cuddle criminals and we don't smoke dope little monkey. We don't want dope sold in the local 7-Eleven. It's bad enough when kids have drinking parties. Do you want them to have NDP "I smoke dope" parties?

Elizabeth May

This annoying but sometimes adorable little forest creature can get on our political nerves. She is a nattering chipmunk that goes on and on about a man-made climate crisis. This is a crisis that is split down the middle in the international scientific community with conflicting theories. Of course this unbalanced chipmunk can only focus on one. So to fix her version of the crisis; she would either shut-down the oilsands to reduce our carbon footprint (the federal government would lose 10-20+ billion in overall taxes) or have them pay 10-20 billion in carbon-credits that will destroy further investment in the oilsands. These carbon credits would slow-down or possibly shut-down oilsands production and the results would be huge job losses. There will be NO CARBON REDUCTION if credits are paid; it's just a transfer of wealth. She will use the carbon credit money by offering tax credits for companies using and creating Green technology. But if the oil companies invest in Green technology; she will have to give tax credits to an industry that she despises. What a BAD chimpmunk. If you store too much junk in your cheeks, you're bound to spill out some outrageous hot air.
