    • Sarah or Ann Coulter? Who gives better head? The only real question in the universe worth asking. I don't know, personally, that is, but......you gotta ask yourself.

      Nice job on the video.

    • Has it occurred to anyone yet that yes, even someone with the mind of a child, and dumber than a box of rocks can make it appear that she's now finaly leaving the very office she ran for VP to leave last November,and like, something has actualy changed to make the least difference ? Sarah Palin is one of the most skillful manipulators I have ever seen next to that Russian monk Rasputin who mesmerized the Romanovs before the Bolshevik Revolution. She knows males and females alike will fawn over her, and give her all the media attention she needs to make her fortune. It must be child's play to her to hop from public office to political fundraising to lucrative money making book and speaking engagments, to
      Hollywood "stardumb" to play the suckers. There's one born every minute with a carny & shill to take their money. She fancies herself as the fm Ronald Ray Gun, copying his career path. But when will the suckers wake up and realize they've been had ? That's rhetorical by the way; you needent feel you should respond. Never will they wake up, because the Saracuda is their "dream" Neo Con. And when you're dreaming you can't wake up. If she had some plan to repair the negligent damage Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quale, Dubya/Cheny inflicted on the USA by making their cronies rich at the public's expense.... And especialy some plan to stop the wars without end 1984 ism, and reinvest future American earned wealth back into the health & well being of all
      Americans, especialy the 1 in 6 children who are the poorest and forgotten, then great. But when all the smoke & mirrors clear, she's just another cheap, sleezy, opportunist ,political hack who thinks this is the kind of entertainment the American circus deserves like the 40% of the fearful who voted for Dubya's proteges though they knew this country was going down the tubes. She's another "devil take the hindmost" "it's everyone for him/herself" Neo Con. AKA a HUSTLER !!! Hers are the same tired policies that have never worked. Same poison in a different bottle pretending to be the cure. The fugly smear tactics she used in the last election branded her to lack any character & integrity. Her idea of public service is the public is destined to serve her. If consciencious citizens realy think that's something to get excited about, then they're out to lunch or asleep at the wheel. Think on this for a moment: When Americans treat their elected Executives as though they were Rock Stars or Porn Stars, what will whatever pathetic excuse that passes for honest governance become but "Show Biz". And what will you
      Current.com readers who vote become but "groupies"
      Jan for Gore asked; "What is the obsession with her ?"
      Like Paul Newman said in Cool Hand Luke when George Kennedy looked astonished at seeing his poker hand win the bluff: "Sometimes all you need to win is to have nothin' in your hand if you play it right"

    • Keep em coming Ben. Not as priceless as your old tech report spots, but funny nonetheless.

      Good ol Sarah Palin. I'm sure she's a real nice person on a social level, but as a politician she's making it far too easy for the press to eat her alive.

    • Very wise of her. Her finances were depleted with all the bullshit lawsuits filed against her. As a governor - she is subject to a lot of scrutiny - and can not accept $$$ for anything. The idea is to campaign for the republicans to take over both houses in a year - and she is a force to be reconed with. Not a good presidential nominee for 12 - not in my view. But she is extremely popular - as is shown by the leftie retards feeling quite threatened by her. She can campaign around the country, collect money for her speeches (something the governor can't do), and make a lame-dick out of Obummer's final 2 years in the office. That is unless he screws himself and gets impeached for any one of the treasonous acts he is doing with my country!!! So go Sarah - leftards will tremble with ugly hate and bile coming out of their ears - and that will make it that much sweeter!!!

      Californians are done with the GOP, thanks Gubernator Musclehead. Besides, she'd have to get elected there by liberals, gays, ethnicities that are not western European, atheists, non-Judeo-Christian religious institutions, urbanites from hostile booming metropolises, and California academia, or, as she and Grandpa called them, elitist, communists, socialists, and people who are simply not 'real Americans.' California has changed a lot since the recall of Gray Davis, back when they state had some money. Governor Musclehead went and ruined all that, and has sorely disappointed his party with his politically contrite liberal leanings, like his stance on greening up Cahlifornyah and his acceptance of the Obama stimulus. The California political landscape has changed a lot since the days of Panther Rallies and the Gipper. Even the Gipper's son Mike is more progressive than Republican these days. Besides, she's walked off the job on Alaskans at the worst possible time. Don't dare think Californians would ever forget that, especially progressives, liberals, and Dems.

      No, Sarah is pursuing a ghost writer who can intelligibly turn the story of her life into a bestseller Rupert Murdoch's publishers can lucretively market. And, she's hoping to parlez her stint as Governor and McCain running mate into a television career that will pay her more than merely being the Governor. We're talking about a woman who exploited her own special needs baby, passing the poor thing around GOP prolife rallies like a primo-filled bong at Burning Man. She's in this for whatever bills she can get paid.

    • You're right, _bob. Palin's going to be with us for a long time, unfortunately as the white trash chick version of Jerry Springer. Plastic Jesus worshipping, gun-totin, tobaccy chawrin, inbred, reactionary, xenophobic lobotomites of every neo-conniving stripe are going fall in under the enthralling spell of this siren's song, a theme which sounds remarkably like the dueling banjoes in Deliverance.

      Queue that chant! Everyone, Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!

      "Palin's going to be with us for a long time, unfortunately as the white trash chick version of Jerry Springer."

      David Letterman couldn't have said it (then apologised for it) better.

      Carlos, Rage, where's your liberal love? Where's your tolerance for people who are different from you? If Sarah were a lesbian, you couldn't get enough of her!

      And I noticed you have absolutely nothing in your rant about her policies or her politics that you take issue with. In typical liberal fasion, you skip the real issues and initiate a personal attack in the hopes that we never get around to the matters of substance, where liberals have little traction politically.

      You have both made my point, you sexist nazis. What about this woman are you afraid of?!!!!

      Get used to it....President Palin....has a nice ring to it.

      :]

      LMAO at you inbred pseudo-revolutionary, xenophobic, reactionary, hypocritical, sanctimonious, religio-fascist neo-conniving headcases bamboozled by this pinhead in high fashion pumps, to once again be led far against your own best interests, all to justify your misguided belief that the fraudulently and ungodly perpetration of the nationalistic pursuit of AmeriKKKan happiness, greivously sustained by the manipulative malfeasance of the global military industrial corporatocracy, only actually exists to benifit you 'real' AmeriKKKans! You're the ones with the ruffles on your vibrantly pink panties in a wad because the rest of the entire world is laughingat YOU! Of all the presumptuous gall! After all, the elusive 'they' did support Obama - Biden over the Ol' Fart - Brainless Bimbo '08 ticket.

      Face it, the reality is that the illusive 'they' care no more about you righteously indignant patriotic white right-wing douche hoses than they do anyone else whom you idiots have interjected as unAmerican pinkos whom 'real' AmeriKKKa has been somehow mandated to socially catigate since the occidental occupation of the eastern shores of a land idiots mistook to be India while lost during past imperial conquests that gave revolutionary birth to the elusive 'they.' The elusive 'they' are only looking out for what promises to lucretively advance the fortunes of the top 5% of the population that currently owns this planet. Sadly, Palin's utility in the scope of the bigger picture is hardly Presidential, even when you count the local Wasilla PTA. She's merely expendable political T&A who's slowly losing entertainment value.

      LOL!!! Grow up! The elusive 'they' give no more of a damn about you politically naive Jesus Campers than they do anyone else they've programmed you to fear and hate without cause or reason. IDIOTS!!!

      LOL! So angry, so full of hatespeech. Where's your love for mankind, 96? Too bad your mother wasn't pro-choice. I'd have defended her choice to vacuume you out of her uterus up to and beyond the third trimester.

      You would have made such a beautiful late term abortion.

    • You people make me laugh! If she's such an idiot, wouldn't you hope, pray, BEG HER to run in 2012? She should be easy to beat! Bring it!

      Maybe you know she could tear the living sh!t out of mostof the liberal limp-wrists you'll put up as "candidates".

      You HOPE she disappears. But she won't. Sarah will be around for YEARS to kick your liberal a$$es! She has legs (both real and political) that you pukes are soooo jealous of! Bwahahahahahahaha!

      Go ahead, make all your pathetic jokes, your cheap shots that end up offending women, and continue to display your disgust for REAL powerful and independant women, (unlike your heroines like Hillary who need a sad excuse for a democrat "man" like Bill to get her anywhere in life).

      Just like the crow you will eat in 2 years when your great messiah is a pariah with poll numbers that will make him WISH he was as popular as EITHER Bush was, you will live to regret your flippant distain for this smart, strong, beautiful, independant woman.

      Anyone here old enough to remeber how unpopular Reagan was in 1988 when he left office? Yet around the world and at home today, Reagan is considered one of the best Presidents in history. Check the polls you love so much.

      Last week, MJ had 5 million less viewers for his funeral than Reagan did for his in 2004.

      Clinton is considered one of the worst around the world. Oh, he may get cheers from the frat boys and wife-cheaters who "wink-wink" and wish they could get away with what slick Willy has and still does, but real men, real husbands, real fathers hold him in contempt as a man and as a so-called "leader". That pathetic mockery of a marriage they have is a perfect example of their liberal hypocrisy.

      And Obama's legacy is destined to be not far behind that pig Clinton.

      What has Michael Jackson got to do with anything? Michael was an entertainer with ZERO political clout, not an aspiring politician with aspirations of taking over the free world.

      Was it my pointing out Rush's hillbilly heroin abuses and miscreant sexual foreign affairs that evoked images of a dead entertainer?

      Three things are clear from your post.

      One, you aren't smart enough to understand Irony.

      Two, you are a nationalistic conformist who is uncomfortable with his own sense of identity.

      Three, if you think Hemispheres is Rush's best album, you know very little about music.

      Great post. Keep 'em coming.

    • LOL! June Cleavage is merely cashing in what few chips she has left to pay her legal bills. Face it, Palin's political career is over. The GOP is not going to forget that McCain was tanked because the voters had absolutely ZERO confidence in a Palin Presidency, in the highly likely event the grim reaper actually did catch up to Gramps. The GOP is done with that woman, no matter how hard the they pretend to publicly suck it graciously up and walk it off with dignity. What's more, no living politician who values his/her future in politics is ever going to risk coupling up with Palin as a running mate. The woman is Dan Quayle in a wig and Coco Channel suit, with fierce Prada pumps, only much dumber. That, and all these lame and shady grifting scams she's deploying to raise needful cash, for which Alaska Law Enforcement is constantly smacking her hands on the news, have worked only to intensify the Justice Department's scrutiny of her ethics, catapulting her embarrassingly from her once haughty perch on the moral high ground.

      Palin has read and reread that memo dated Tuesday, 04NOV08 from the American people making crystal clear that we didn't trust her and Gramps to run down to the local Seven-11 to get us beer and cigarettes, let alone run the United States government. We the beleaguered people have already endured the unchecked and unchallenged pathocracy of one criminally psychotic narcissist with fiendish delusions of granduer and an unreasonable sense of unilateral global entitlement. This time around, America demanded the President possess a demonstratably measurable IQ and an impressive command of the English language. Some appreciation for the rule of law, both foreign and domestic, was also a requirement. And, Sarah conceded that she had none of that, for all of her claims to be ready like Sponge Bob on Day-1.

      So, Palin has simply abandoned her coy and laughable claims to be Presidential to pursue opportunities more in tune with the five bulletpoints on her half-page resume. She's accepted the fact that the Presidency of the United States of America isn't some reality show where an appointed administrative serfdom executes Presidential responsibilities and duties the elected President either has no desire or erudition and skill to so much as attempt, let alone ever complete, despite the horrific achievement of that detrimental feat by Bush43. The American President represents the people of the United States of America to the world. And, God love her, Sarah Palin was never going to be buffed and polished well enough by GOP handlers or anyone else in time to qualify to be an Oval Office house plant by 2012. That poor woman has been in over her head almost every day since leaving the Wasilla City Council. And, I suspect she and her handlers have always known that.

      Now all she wants is to be out of politics and on TV, doing something that guarantees her pallets of American cash and positive public recognition and respect, all with zero responsibility or accountability. And, why not? Limbaugh is a right wing power broker and king maker, making a butt-load of cash, despite his arguably mediocre radio ratings. And, he's a fat, crass, obtuse, vulgar, obnoxious, petulent, UGLY, mysogenist xenophobic dope fiend who upsets American foreign relations everytime he visits an islandic paradise for the sole purpose of picking out a small boy to fondle! Surely, the former Alaska Gov can command higher ratings, just showing up to hair, wardrobe, and makeup on time everyday. After all, the one-time Miss Congeniality is nothing if not gorgeous and charming, even if she is unfathomably stupid. Trust me, Rupert Murdoch would sell off a valuable asset to generously compensate scholarly teams of subject matter experts to handle all the cerebral heavy lifting needed to make this Alaskan road lizard into something roguishly pretending to be a Rhodes Scholar. It's definitely a far better fit for the embattled communicator than a career in national politcs.

      All of the stuff you have said she's done have only been unproven accusations. I'm not saying she's perfect there's just been no proof so far.

    • Oh, come on she has the right to make it big! Think of all the Hollywood trainwrecks that just passed away or have gone to jail; peolpe we still look up to even after they've done really bizarre stuff.
      In Hollywood she'd actually be BORING!
      If that's why she quit then she's on my fecal roster for sure. Sure the media has beaten her like a rented mule but she took an oath when she took office.

      Great job, Ben ... especially the phrase "fleeting beauty." She is as ridiculous as a slovenly 34-year-old dressing like he's 21, wearing a baseball cap backwards to look hip circa 1996, and affecting a bored look to substitute for wit.
      You rock, man!
