Palin's Paul Revere

Turtle · Jun 3, 2011

I wish you could make this stuff up, but ya can't, ya just can't.

From the Magical Mystery: Is Paul Really Dead? Tour.

Clearly, her pageant training has served her well. Much like one of the hopeful queens in that last question and answer round, where a question is asked and she doesn't know the answer, Palin slips into pageant mode, complete with facial expressions and darting and batting eyes to distract from what is coming out her mouth, as she makes up the answer and just keeps talking until she thinks she's covered all the possibilities.

Wish I could see this one, they never work on this computer. You do know that Paul Revere and the Raiders have several concert dates this year don't you?

They often tour with Bill Medley.

OH, you mean that OTHER Paul Revere guy, don't you?

Turtle · Jun 3, 2011

That would actually be a good question for Sarah Palin. She thinks Paul Revere was "he who warned the, the... (gimme a minute, I'll get it) the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms by ringing those bells, and and uhm, making sure as he's riding his horse through town! to.... send those warning shots and bells that we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free!"

Started out rough, but vamped long enough to finish with a big bang. A pageant success! Never mind Paul Revere used lanterns, not bells and fired shots, to warn the patriots, not the British.

I'm 'enery the 8th I am,
'nery the 8th I am, I am.
I got married to the widow next door
She’s been married seven times before
And every one was an 'enery ('enery!)
She wouldn’t have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam!)
I’m her eighth old man, I’m 'enery
'enery the eighth I am.

Second verse... same as the first!

"Uh, Mrs. Palin, that's Herman's Hermits, not Paul Revere. And that's a different Paul Revere."

"Oh, well that's different, isn't it. Never mind."

Seriously, what does this woman think she's doing? That was just really weird. I get it, I'm sure she is exhausted and all, but c'mon.

If you can't view the clip, here's a transcript. This really doesn't do it justice, you really need to see the video.

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."

What the???????

She couldn't have meant THIS, right? I mean she's just too stooooooopid to have been correct.......

witness23 · Jun 3, 2011

The only thing missing was a "you betchya" ugh.

layoutshooter · Jun 3, 2011

Yeah, but then she would ask if the British had the same type of gun control ideas that Obama has. THAT would bail her out.

Why is it that SO MANY of those in the political public eye have "Lint for Brains"? Most of them out there don't seem to have the brains God gave a goose!

It's either past your bedtime and you are tired, or you have been hittin' the bottle?

Nope, and yep. Anyone even remotely familiar with basic human body language knows that. Just look at her on the video while she's grasping for something, anything, to say that makes a modicum of sense. Of course, the Palin faithful will be able to find something that substantiates her saying Revere wore a yellow polka dot bikini on his ride. But the bottom line is, yes, she is just too stooooooopid to have been correct.

You must suffer from a severe case of "Humor Deficit Disorder".

Yes, it's bed time, been working hard for 2 days straight. No I did not hit a bottle or anything else, except for a few bugs and a small bird.

Are you ever NOT personal?

Are you paid by the word, the hour or the insult?

Open-minded, I see......be careful about that, one can be so open-minded that their brains fall out.

Turtle · Jun 3, 2011

One can also be so close-minded that intelligence cannot be squeezed in.

You asked a question, I answered it, and because you don't like my answer, you come after me? Seriously? Do you really want to make this about me because I don't agree with you, or about Palin and what she said today? I'm fine either way, just let me know to what topic you would like the thread to be changed.

Jeepers you're getting cranky.....didn't you see the smilie that would indicate that I was joking???

I guess I just don't get your "British" type of humor.

Yes, it's bed time, been working hard for 2 days straight. No I did not hit a bottle or anything else, except for a few bugs and a small bird.

Then go to bed.

Are you ever NOT personal?

Don't be so thinned skinned.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you. Does EO pay you to interject disparaging remarks about Obama in every thread, even ones that have nothing to do with him, such as this one?

I mean c'mon, you post in a thread about a video of Palin that you can't even view

Then you make a comment that has nothing to do at all with thread, about Obama, gun control and lint

It happens so often on here with some people that it's sometimes hard to tell. I've seen it happen several times where people add a little smiley thingy to make people think they are joking, when they really aren't, too, so ya never know.

It would be so much better if she would act like she is answering and talk about something not even related to the question like most politicians now wouldn't it.

layoutshooter · Jun 4, 2011

"Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you. Does EO pay you to interject disparaging remarks about Obama in every thread, even ones that have nothing to do with him, such as this one?"

Since when was Obama a member in here? He is a politician and therefor fair game for any body to say almost any thing they wish to about it. Like: Of course Obama is NOT a member in here. He has never run a business and likely is not smart enough to do so. That is why he went into politics. That is one of the few places where lame brains can go to earn a living!

Yet again, you failed to answer the question, which had zero to do with the membership of Obama here. The question was why you must disparage Obama and all politicians, ad nauseum, in nearly every reply, whether it has any relevance to the topic, or adds any new thoughts on the subject. The answer is in my sigline.

Turtle · Jun 4, 2011

Nice. Very nice.

On topic: way back when Palin first became news, I said I wanted so much to admire her, but couldn't. She is a self serving media :censoredsign:

, interested primarily in the financial well being of herself and her family. Now that she's succeeded in that goal, I wish she'd treat the rest of us as she did the citizens of the state she governed, and quit.
