Here's Sarah Palin, up in Alaska, just talking about some stuff. And what's that behind her? Oh that's some dude slaughtering some giant turkeys and putting them into some kind of meat grinder. No big deal. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Now that the election is over and both Tina Fey and Sarah Palin have ended their runs playing the potential future Vice President, what's in the cards for the two women? Both are hilarious — one intentionally, one unintentionally — and both are beautiful and (arguably) talented. So who will stand a better chance for success in life after the presidential election?
Ugh, everything about this woman. Why can't she just fade away? Tina Fey already said she was going to hang up her backwoods female-Slingblade impression…Sarah Palin should drop it too.
But this video does bring up an interesting/terrifying point: there are thousands, if not more, people in America that think that Sarah Palin is qualified to run for POTUS, despite the fact that Trig probably has a better grasp on world geography than she does.
Ooooooh BURN! Sarah Palin, the gun-toting ice bride who as of late has been calling Barack Obama "Barack the Wealth Spreader," seems to have forgotten that the policies of the Ice Planet Hoth, over which she governs, are rife with the very same socialistic practices she claims to hate soooooo much.
This from elitist Kuran The New Yorker:
Funnily enough, that Alaskan senator that was just convicted of taking over $250,000 in bribes from disgraced oil executive Bill Allen, is on his way back to his home to continue his reelection bid to keep the Democrats from getting the majority in the Senate:
He promised, as he has in the past, to fight for election to the finish, and to "fight this unjust verdict with every ounce of energy I have," he said. "I am innocent." He is headed to Alaska later this week, presumably to take part in a debate with his opponent on Thursday.
Hopefully Stevens can campaign well from his jail cell, where he faces up to five years for all five felony accounts of fraud.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck was invited to introduce Sarah Palin at Florida rallies over the weekend, presumably because the McCain camp knows Lissy is the best attack dog available who still believes the nonsense the right wing has been spewing. This time around she defended Palin's wardrobe, saying it doesn't matter how much money she spends as long as she wears that tiny flag pin, the sign of a good president or vice president. This was an obvious dig at Barack Obama, who is clearly a terrorist who wants to blow up America because he chose not to wear the flag pin. Genius, this lady. The most laughable aspect of this is Elisabeth's hypocrisy, claiming that Democrats refuse to focus on the REAL ISSUES when day after day she sits on The View and spews that Bill Ayers/terrorist agenda.
See those maniacs at right? The ones a-hootin' and a-hollerin' about how, if they had their own country, the blacks and gays and A-rabs wouldn't be able to take their women and bars and money, respectively? Ironically, those clowns calling for a Southern nation in America seem to have a lot more in common with the North than they think. The far North, that is. And you know we wouldn't be talking about the crazies in Alaska right now if it had nothing to do with witchy ding-dong Sarah Palin.

Did you know that Vaseline has its own viral marketing scheme? No, it has nothing to do with those Internet websites that kids like these days, or product placement on Gossip Girls. No, Vaseline is going to advertise the old fashioned way: by associating themselves with a political candidate.
But like, super obliquely:

'A critic of Gov. Sarah Palin is suing to try to force preservation of any government-related e-mails that Palin sent from private accounts. [...] Palin used "gov.sarah" in one of the Yahoo e-mail addresses she sometimes used to conduct state business. The hacker targeted her separate "gov.palin" account. Both have been shut down. The hacking of Palin's private account is significant because Palin has sometimes used private e-mail accounts to conduct state business. Previously disclosed e-mails indicate her administration embraced Yahoo accounts as an alternative to government e-mail, which could possibly be released to the public under Alaska's Open Records Act. "Palin's decision to conduct state business in such an unprofessional and secretive manner suggests that her promise to have an ethical, open, honest and transparent administration is pure bogus," [former state worker and the lawsuit's plaintiff Andree] McLeod said in a statement Saturday.'

From the second half of Katie Couric's interview with vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, airing tonight:
COURIC: You've cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land– boundary that we have with– Canada. It– it's funny that a comment like that was– kind of made to– cari– I don't know, you know? Reporters–
COURIC: Mock?
PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.
COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.
PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our– our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia–
COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.
Munger, who writes the Progressive Alaska blog, told me Palin is not just a creationist, but a "young Earth" creationist who believes that man and dinosaurs once shared the planet, and that the world will end in her lifetime.
…
Munger claims she tried to stock the local school board with creationists several years ago, which caused him to quiz her on her beliefs."She doesn't believe in science, and her father was a science teacher," Munger said. "She told me she felt she would see Jesus in her lifetime."

The Anchorage Daily is Alaska's biggest newspaper. And with a readership that large (probably not that large, it's still Alaska after all, and everyone there speaks Russian), and with so few home heroes to to celebrate, perhaps the daily would be kinder to their "hottest governor" and current VP candidate Sarah Palin.

PalinForGovernor.com now redirects to JohnMcCain.com. But if you're still interested in Sarah Palin's old campaign site, and reading about her "support [for] our Constitutional right to bear arms and am a proponent of gun safety programs for Alaska's youth," you can see it here. Otherwise, you're stuck reading more about "Country First."
Hoser found! After what must have been hours of rather simple but tedious work, the New York Daily News was able to track down Bristol Palin's fertile young mate, a self-professed "fuckin' redneck" named Levi Johnston. Apparently, the paper then fell in love with the 18-year-old hockey player:
