Yet Another Unkindest Cut Of All

Posted by on . 4 comments.

It is not known at the time of going to press how Sarah Palin plans to live this down:

The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska’s largest newspaper, endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Sunday after declaring Gov. Sarah Palin “too risky” to be one step away from the Oval Office.

The ADN actually pulled off a double diss:

“Like picking (Republican presidential candidate John) McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time,” The Daily News said.

For reasons best known to itself — and which may or may not involve the deposition of brown matter on its corporate journalistic nose — the ADN is leaving itself the option of changing its mind in some future presidential election. (Hence the “at this time”.)

Since we at 1115 — or just little old me, actually — cannot visualize a possible future in which putting Palin one heartbeat away from the presidency would not be risky, we are happy to rush in where the ADN fears to tread:

Sarah Palin. No Way. Ever!

No Bloody Fricking Way.

    and sarabeth joins the club of people who confuse my distaste for obama with acceptance of mccain/palin.

    THE NEW DEAL made America strong enough to win World War II.

    THE GREAT SOCIETY made America great enough to go to the moon.

    REAGANOMICS destroyed that strength and greatness letting Gordon Gecko run free.

    Obama is not a Socialist, and what he proposes is not Socialism.

    The only Socialist in the race for the White House is Sarah Palin.
    Alaska’s Windfall Profit Tax = Redistribution of wealth, earned by Entrepenuers.

    What we have under W., and what REAGANOMICS essentially is, is a system
    akin to Feudal Europe, which is what America’s founding fathers fought for
    Independence from in the first place.

    And just as the Palin’s fight for Alaskan Independence,
    Obama fights for America’s Independence from Gordon Gecko,
    and the Republican party which would turn the U.S.A. into
    The Peoples Republic Of America so they could run it just like their
    heroes run China.

    It’s true that Sarah Palin does have the most executive experience
    of all the candidates in this election. This experience includes
    “spreading the wealth” (see: Alaska’s Windfall Profits Tax),
    “abuse of power” (see: Troopergate), “questionable expenditures”
    (see: Family travel expenses, hair and wardrobe costs).

    But let us not get caught up in the here and now.
    Let us journey through the past darkly:

    From Lil’ Sarah Palin’s 4th Grade portfolio:

    DEMOCRATS = DEMOCRACY
    As in “the democratically elected government of…”

    REPUBLICANS = REPUBLIC
    As in The People’s Republic of China
    The People’s Republic of Cuba

    I hope to grow up to: Live in a FREE Alaska and marry Joe Vogel,
    the leader of the Alaskan Independence Party.
