ThinkProgress » Palin: ‘Obviously, We’ve Got To Stand With Our North Korean Allies’

Yes, our North Korean allies.

She'd make an EXCELLENT president!

I would have disagreed, but now that she's added reality show star to her resume I can safely say that she should take over in oh twelve.

In 2012 Sarah Palin is.....The Pyongyang Candidate!

Please guys tell me she will never be president. I'm scared.

We all are, tegid, we all are.

I don't think the GOP will let it happen. She's the only potential candidate who polls losing against Obama currently. I can't imagine they would allow her to weaken the GOP's chances of retaking the White House in '12.

You betcha!

Tea party?

I doubt she'll run I mean she is making assloads of money by being a foxnews consultant and speaking at tea party gathering. Her family is raking in the dollars because she is no longer involved in politics.

I just don't see her giving up her cushy job making all that money and being immune to any real complaints against her to enter into a contest where she makes nothing and she will be put under an actual microscope.

It's never about money...it's about power. And once the job is done they can make a shit-ton more than they do now.

Man, lets just put her and Joe Biden in a comedy together and call it a day.

I'd watch it.

Oh man it's the perfect setup for an Odd Couple reboot.

Should be more like: "GOP: You went full retard. Everyone knows you don't go full retard."

"Tea Party" might work too.

Wow.... really? Wow...

And yes, ex-Pres like George Bush are making MILLIONS doing speeches. He was in town like 6 months ago or so? And did a 20 min speech, got paid 100 grand US for it. People PAID MONEY to LISTEN TO GEORGE BUSH.

oh yeah that's good

It's the new American dream, I suppose. In the past you could start with two cents and become rich. Now you can start with two brain cells and become President.

Or is that even funny? Hell if I know... Palin does scare the shit out of me, though.

Don't worry about her. As I'm sure most of you know, early polls indicate that Palin could easily win a GOP primary but would lose the general election in a landslide. She's a nightmare for Republicans, and they'll find some way to shut her down. If they don't, she has a snowball's chance in hell of becoming president. Some kind of ridiculous miracle would have to take place between now and then.

I wish I shared your optimism, Tress.

Whenever I hear a populist politician spout off crap like this, I am so very thankful that emigration to New Zealand is on the table for me.

As much as I dislike her, if we crucified everyone over their slips of the tongue we wouldn't have any politicians left. I mean, she's not the only politician in the 57 states to say something dumb

But for reasons completely separate to stupid slips of the tongue, I pray to God she goes away.

No, but her slip of the tongue will be forgotten in no time. People will bring up that 57 state thing FOREVER.

Seriously? As if people don't bring up "See Russia from my house" whenever she comes up in conversation? Hell, that and other awesome stuff she's brought to the table have been immortalized (quite wonderfully I might add) by Tina Fey on SNL. I can't say what will and what won't be remembered "forever" but the idea that people are going to forget the crazy stuff Palin has said? No way man. No freaking way.

Which I'm okay with.

I suppose you're right. Some things just stick in our consciousness no matter how hard we try to push them out.

We do have to ask ourselves, though: Is our children learning?

I learned, but then I forgot what I learned.

The thought of Sarah Palin as the Commander in Chief of the United States fills me with a chilling dread that I can not adequately express in words.

Suffice to say it would likely herald the apocalypse...

It does come on pretty strong. I give them an A for being inventive though.

Besides, I think we should have gone to war with the Shire a long time ago.

That video was way, way funnier than I expected, and not just because I used Bubbles Larouche as my name.

hehe.. me too, but what sticks out is that she keep saying "You didn't vote" and I kept going "Yes I DID!!!"

Exactly, Chibi! That was where I clicked it off.

Voting is good, dontcha know?

I go by the philosophy.... "If you don't vote, then don't complain!"
