You can't stop Sarah Palin …

Jump to Comments

… you can only hope to contain her.

This whole thing has now become a lolection.

I should quit the posts completely and devote my time to captioning pictures of Sarah Palin with “I can has veep nao?” and the like.

I could have spent the entire day at my computer, writing a new post every time I saw a Palin scandal, and I’d barely have time to keep up.

Remember when Hillary Clinton claimed the snipers were shooting at her? Aside from the gunfire, what’s the difference between saying that and claiming your refueling stopover was a trip to Ireland that counts as foreign policy experience?

From Politico today:

I wrote the other day that a Palin spokeswoman said trips to Germany, Kuwait and Ireland made up her foreign travel.

Two details worth clarifying:

The Ireland trip was a refueling stop on her trip to military installations in Germany and Kuwait, spokeswoman Maria Comella said.

Nice.

A couple of years ago, the overnight Montreal-Toronto bus that I was on stopped on a Reservation near Kingston, Ont. so that the driver could buy cheap smokes at 2 a.m.

I didn’t know had had experience in Native Affairs. That’s kind of cool.

Seriously?

As I type, in the last 36 hours we’ve found out that Sarah Palin’s daughter is pregnant with the child of a teen who admittedly doesn’t want kids; that Sarah believes the Iraq war is Godly; that she belonged (along with her husband) to an organization lobbying for Alaskan independence; that she ran a car wash into the ground in her younger days; that she has hired lawyers to protect her and her staff during a growing corruption probe; that she attempted to ban books from the library immediately after winning a mayoral election; that her own mother-in-law may not vote for her; that her staff tried to pass off a refueling stop as a “visit” to a country … and that she has a pastor just as crazy as Barack Obama’s.

Thirty. Six. Hours.

That’s why I’m writing this post. If Sarah Palin can get all that out there, I can at least update the blog twice.
