- thepoliticalcat, on 09/30/2008, -13/+322What was even worse (or more larf-inducing) was realizing that Tina Fey didn't make stuff up when she was mocking Palin. It was almost word-for-word.
- NoDrama, on 09/30/2008, -12/+286Can they mock something which doesn't exist?
- 10snut, on 09/30/2008, -15/+205The cover isn't very far-fetched...that actually is Palin's stance on foreign relations. If she can see it, she can either shoot it or attack it.
- siggyfawn, on 09/30/2008, -18/+157I just don't understand how anyone could vote Republican. Maybe someone can educate me. Please.
1) The Bush govt has been the least conservative republican government in the history of America. Bigger govt, more spending, destroying civil liberties. Spying on Americans? Waste? Needless wars? Bush is basically a liberal nightmare. Running around the world, overacting, spending like mad, spying on Americans, consolidating power in Washington. How is this remotely what republicans stand for? Not to mention all this was done by scaring conservatives that evil arabs were coming for them and they needed a historical power grabs to keep them safe. It's beyond me.
2) The President doesn't have that much power. It's the party. Congress. Sentate. White House staff. No President just goes off making decisions, changes, ruling the country in his own image. It's a massive party structure of power, nothing is done without a poll to make sure congressmen/sentors won't be hurt and/or a PR hit. It's all so calculated, processed, controlled.
Given that. Why elect the same power structure? McCain is not a conservative. In any regard. So we toss a non-conservative president, in with a non-conservative republican power structure in Washington, that has failed us. I'm sorry, the people in the White House have failed America. It's indefensible. Sorry, it just is. So why replace Bush and keep going forward with the same party?
As sad as it is, it's time to let the other corrupt party take a shot at it. At least it's different criminals, with different faces. Different agendas. Different ways to screw Americans. You almost have to vote for ANYONE the dems nominated, just because the republican power structure has been so bad, so off track, so beyond understanding.
Reasonable Americans realize politicians are more or less corrupt. It's mostly the system. You need money, and the people who give money want value in return. Special interest groups run the country. But at some point, you need to switch out the parties, give them a shot to live up to 10% of what they sell. See you can't really blame Bush. That's how people get confused. They think Bush is behind EVERYTHING. He's actually behind almost none of it. Everything this president has done was carefully calculated by the republican think tank. It's the party that pushes the agenda, not Bush. He's just the figurehead. Which is why I can't understand why you'd vote another figurehead into that same republican power structure. They've failed us. They've failed conservatives. They've failed our children.
Are the dems any better? Who really knows. Just by default, the opposition party should get a crack at it. Then maybe the republicans will clean house, restore civil liberties and stop treating Americans like criminals. Conservatives have been scared into submission, but that won't last forever. I'm not even conservative! But it's appalling. The country has been run into the ground, why on earth would we elect another figure head to the same old power structure. To have any faith, that the 100 or so Republicans that run Washington can turn it around with McCain, it’s absurd. It’s a leap of faith that’s beyond justification. Republicans have betrayed their own. Sorry, it's time for the dems to take a shot at raping America. Change for the sake of change, oh what a great time we live in. - Shiftgood, on 09/30/2008, -10/+129THE DIFFERENCE between the cover depicting OBAMA and PALIN is that.
Obamas cover: was a collection of smears put upon him by the opposition.
Palins cover: Is her own wording and doing.
seeeeeeeeethediffrence? - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -19/+107LOL!!... Front Page!!
- TheCure, on 09/30/2008, -12/+95Seems to work pretty well with that whole God thing
- holesome, on 09/30/2008, -10/+87Sorry, but being briefed is not the sort of experience this country needs, no matter if it's the economy, foreign policy, or any of the other obvious central themes that voters interested in more than a personality/popularity contest study. This is not an election for homecoming queen, this is about being President of the U.S. at one of the most challenging times in our history - and whoever takes over the Oval Office stands a decent chance of being VERY unpopular indeed while making very hard choices.
I honestly don't think either McCain or Palin understands that. I think they'd get testy with us, and react with petty outbursts when they weren't perceived as rescuers, or heroes, from day one - I don't think they'd want the job if they understood the costs.
Obama and Biden hold no such illusions; they're ready to roll up their sleeves and sacrifice on behalf of the USA. That, my friends, is leadership. The job will be thankless; the task is daunting. - bugsact, on 09/30/2008, -8/+83I wonder if McCain will go after the New Yorker now?
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -2/+51She can zoom in on South Africa, and the Iraq, as well as US Americans.
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -9/+56That cover is SEXIST! You are not showing deference to Palin as instructed!
Plus, she can see Canada too! and a Bank of America...she's banked with them for 20 years...that experience is what will lead us out of this financial crisis.
I'm John McCain, and I approve this message. - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -1/+47Damn elitist drawing person, making their damn elitist east-coast magazine cover all funny like with their elitist pencils!
- dagnabbit, on 09/30/2008, -6/+43Actually, it was word-for-word. Exactly. The whole ramble just copied for all to laugh at. There wasn't any reason to embellish because her answer was just that stupid.
- dinot, on 09/30/2008, -4/+41i like the part where the "my team vs your team" mentality rationalizes obvious stupidity.
- sgvprelude, on 09/30/2008, -2/+36I'm from Los Angeles...I have foreign policy experience with the Mexicans.
- funkyloki, on 09/30/2008, -2/+33Dugg for elitist pencils
- wendelgee2, on 09/30/2008, -3/+32No, we're not. We're making fun of Palin via a New Yorker cover.
- whiteguysamurai, on 09/30/2008, -7/+36I'm so tired of politicians that make America look stupid.
- banderwocky, on 09/30/2008, -3/+28Pretty much sums it up. I guess if she looks at the moon, she can be an astronaut as well!
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -2/+27Zing!
- Dalhectar, on 09/30/2008, -0/+25I call BS on her foreign policy experience. Because everyone in Alaska knows you can't defend against both Russia AND Canada at the same time. If you are looking at one, then your back is turned against the other for a SNEAK ATTACK!!
- dinot, on 09/30/2008, -4/+28anti-Republican? more like anti-stupid.
- showmethemonet, on 09/30/2008, -9/+32LOL! She has foreign policy experience like the Clampetts had experience with see-ment ponds.
- whypickthree, on 09/30/2008, -0/+22Who needs SNL writers when you have Sarah Palin writing her own material?
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -17/+39PRESIDENT ***** PALIN. Dear God, save us.
- dirtypenguin, on 09/30/2008, -1/+21Not quite the same thing as the Obama cover. If they had a cover of Palin getting it on with Todd's best friend, Bristol giving birth on the floor, Track doing blow off the coffee table, and a fully gutted moose hanging from the rafters, that would be comparable. It's just satire, right?
- prnorm, on 09/30/2008, -0/+20Like maple syrup, Canada's evil oozes over the United States.
- fishbeef33, on 09/30/2008, -1/+20Just another piece of sexist, "gotcha" journalism that focuses on elitist knowledge and ignores the importance of a person's character.
Whoa! Sorry, I thought I was a Christian conservative for a second there. - Dipsomaniac, on 09/30/2008, -0/+18Dude, you don't look at Canada for a sneak attack. Everybody up here knows that we're infiltrating through your hockey teams.
- mdemkiw, on 09/30/2008, -3/+21Jack Cafferty said it best regarding Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie, and I quote;
" I'm 65 and have been covering politic a long time; that is one of the most pathetic peaces of tape I have ever seen from someone inspirer to one of the highest offices in the country"
Untied States of America, how could you allow democracy to end up like this?
I live 10mile from the sea; I guess that makes me a marine biologist. - asnider, on 09/30/2008, -4/+22Hey, don't forget that she's also right beside Canada, and that's a foreign nation, too!
- Kenzan, on 09/30/2008, -3/+20Ya, I kin see Rassia over there Doncha know?
Those commie bastards are just waitin' to rear their ugly heads over in America, ya.
You Betcha! - thirdcoastborn, on 09/30/2008, -1/+17I heard she was going to fix Wall Street by going down there and shooting all them damn Bears she keeps hearing about. Digg it
- Beej, on 09/30/2008, -5/+20Here's how: "Who else are you going to vote for? The bleeding-heart gun-controlling liberal tax-and-spend big-government flag-burning Democrat baby-killer communist Arab Muslim black socialist elitist?"
There are other reasons, of course, but I think that one is the most resonant.
Personally, I just want someone smart in office. - arb0324, on 09/30/2008, -1/+16I cannot wait till she nationally embarrasses herself debating Biden...
- edicius, on 09/30/2008, -2/+17bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb iran
- Sublimin4L, on 09/30/2008, -0/+15yeeeeeeeeeeeeesido
- wilhoitm, on 09/30/2008, -4/+18She is looking for Dinosaurs!
- raskali, on 09/30/2008, -0/+13Hey, we sold you Alaska, why the hell would we want it back?
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -3/+16If McCain gets elected I think we should put Palin in space so she can keep an eye on the entire planet. I'd feel a lot better that way.
- Kenzan, on 09/30/2008, -1/+13At least his policy isn't like McSame's "Bomb first, ask questions later."
- funkyloki, on 09/30/2008, -2/+14Actually, that is not correct. Tina Fey did say everything that Palin said, but she also added stuff, like the dollar value menu comment. I am quite sure that even if Palin thought that way, she would never say dollar value menu in a national interview. At least, I hope she's not that dumb.
- funkyloki, on 09/30/2008, -0/+12You must have forgotten that this is satire, and that they did something similar to Obama and his wife, all though that wasn't pointed directly at them, but at the people propagating the ridiculous rumors about him. I think it is totally appropriate. To claim you have foreign policy experience because of where you physically reside and it's proximity to another country is ludicrous, and deserves to be parodied.
- jerrolds, on 09/30/2008, -4/+16They didnt put nearly the amount effort they put into satirizing the Obama's :( Looks like a hack job in comparison
- samimnot, on 09/30/2008, -3/+15Technically, the cover art is misleading. Sarah has stated on many occasions that she can not see Russia looking out her window (as depicted). She has to climb this really tall tree in her backyard.
Gov. Palin has also stated that she saved the tax payers money ;-) by using her own ladder... - BlacklabelSAR, on 09/30/2008, -2/+14But that's just it. Fundamentalist Christians feel superior and that they alone are doing God's work.
Fundamentalism is the exact opposite of Critical Thinking.
I've personally run into it. I've run into gay-bashing "Christians" in an office setting. I asked about their hate and judgement of others and didn't Christ say explicitly NOT to do those things? The response was "I'm not good at debating the Bible, but gays cause a lot of problems".
And also "Well, Christ was God, so anything in the Bible, even the Old Testament, is the Word of Christ." So evidently Christ said Eye for an Eye, but also, Turn the Other Cheek and Love Thine Enemy as Thy Brother?
Those things are contradictory.
In fact I, an Agnostic, know the Bible better than these zombies.
And the look in their eyes was the same look that the children had in Children of the Corn. - funkyloki, on 09/30/2008, -0/+12All your hockey teams are belong to us!
- funkyloki, on 09/30/2008, -0/+12While foreign policy is McCain's big knowledge area, Obama was able to stand toe-to-toe with McCain during the debate. With all the experience McCain has, he should have destroyed Obama, and he didn't and that is good enough for me.
Let's be realistic. There is NO TRAINING for the PotUSA. Reallly. That is a job that you must learn as you go. The fact that Obama is a constitutional scholar speaks volumes about his capabilities and critical thinking prowess, as well as his knowledge of how our country is supposed to work. So I don't ask for a person who is ready from day one, but someone who is capable of learning, is eloquent, can think on their feet, can compromise, is intelligent & calm, cool headed, collected, is at the top of their game and is one of the elite. Let me say that again, he must be one of the elite. I do not want someone for the leader of my country who I can "relate" to. I'm not gonna kick back and talk sports with the pres. He should be college educated within the top of his class, successful, well-spoken, an achiever. Why would we settle for anything less? That just makes no sense. Obama proves that he is that man time and time again, just as he did in McCain's arena during this last debate. - Geannie, on 09/30/2008, -9/+20Awesome cover!
