wowzer. Maid of the Bering Sea
Edited on Wed Jun-01-11 08:51 AM by cali
RAPIDAN, Va. — On the very weekend America paused to remember all those whose sacrifices are the blood fruit of our freedom, rolling in like thunder, clad in black leather, was yet another red-white-and-blue bundle of American sacrifice and patriotism.

Just in time to ensure that no backyard barbecue anywhere in America was without joy, debate, rancor, confusion, fist-fights, something.

Back into our lives rode Sarah of Alaska, Maid of the Bering Sea, devoured, ogled and debated by the masses.

She is our modern Joan of Arc, dressed in black leather chaps, hunting camo or fishing boat slicker, unafraid to mount her steed, whether a Harley or a snow machine. She is a woman, bloody hands, capable of any man’s task — even that Holy Grail of politics with which no woman has ever been entrusted.

Unlike sister St. Joan, Sarah does not pass herself as a man. She can do any man’s work, without ceding an ounce of her gas station pin-up babe good looks.

1. Good thing I haven't eaten breakfast, yet...
it would be all over my keyboard.

Are you sure this isn't from The Onion??

2. "Motorpsycho" came to mind, actually.
Sarah would not have been of place in a Russ Meyer sexploitation flick.

3. She didn't even ride the Harley. She was a passenger straddling a pretty, pigtailed blonde.
The whole spectacle was political porn for proto-fascists.

5. I guess the MoonieTimes would think she's the
greatest. Jon Stewart called her Joan of Anchorage and Rachel Maddow compared her brand of politics and photo ops to Vladimir Putin.

6. Did St. Joan
have children who were trained to pimp for their mother?



Didn't think so.

7. I like another article there. "GOP presidential field needs excitement"
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/may/31/gop-field-needs-a-dose-of-excitement/

C'mon. This isn't some stupid reality show that needs ratings. IT'S THE FUCKING PRESIDENCY.

What the hell has happened? x(

8. That's what I wonder every time I see one of these loons
glorify Palin...DO THEY REALLY BELIEVE SHE WOULD MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT or are they in a popularity contest? I can't believe they really believe she could run a nation or be a decent representative to the world.
