They’re all dire, but number five’s a doozy. Sterling stuff from the ‘Cuda, who’s orders of magnitude better on the stump than McCain will ever be. But, er, since when is crossing the border into Pakistan to hit AQ a bad idea? Note to S.P.: You had it right the first time.

She shoots……………….SHE SCORES!
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 2:40 PM
She says ‘invade’, not ‘cross the border to hit’.
I would say there are orders of magnitude in the difference :)
She’s absolutely great on the stump. She’s a superstar in the making.

Looming crisis – Joe Biden’s next speech.
LMAO!
Mark1971 on October 21, 2008 at 2:42 PM
Sweet!
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 2:42 PM
Mmmmm. Ronald Reagan in pantyhose. Oh dang! That’s a troubling image.
whitetop on October 21, 2008 at 2:42 PM
Is plausible deniability a lost concept?
lorien1973 on October 21, 2008 at 2:42 PM
The 5th one is the gem: The 5th crisis, the one Obama fears most, is Biden’s next speaking engagement. LOL X 1,000,000! Priceless.
Mutnodjmet on October 21, 2008 at 2:42 PM

Palin is McCain;s best move, evah!
We needed her before the convention!
Thankful she is saying this, what a great series of bullet points:
1, 2, 3, 4 foregin policy mistakes!

Rush played this and said: “You go girl!”
carbon_footprint on October 21, 2008 at 2:45 PM
It was great but…I keep expecting her to hold up a book to show her first graders class the pictures
tomas on October 21, 2008 at 2:46 PM
She’s fantastic.
CP on October 21, 2008 at 2:46 PM
Well, if she were at a Democratic rally, it would be appropriate. I see it though.
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 2:48 PM
Paging Mr. Biden, Mr. Joe Biden.
swami on October 21, 2008 at 2:48 PM
Note to AP: er…you had it wrong for the vast majority of your SP posts – she is magically delicious. Go get ya’ some pessimism.
Fuquay Steve on October 21, 2008 at 2:49 PM
Gloom and Doom, the democrat way…
null on October 21, 2008 at 2:50 PM
I was in a hurry trying to get out of the house while she was on and I stood in the middle of the living room to watch her whole presetation. I could not force myself to stop.
I have not been this excited about a candidate since Ronald Maximus.
Elizabetty on October 21, 2008 at 2:50 PM
Paging does not reach his box. They put him in there after they let Michelle out.

Grue in the Attic on October 21, 2008 at 2:50 PM
Nah…she is the political love child of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher who is better looking than either of her political parents.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 2:51 PM
Er… Allah is a moron.
MobileVideoEngineer on October 21, 2008 at 2:52 PM
Awesome.
One of the major challenges for this campaign in the next two weeks is to figure out how to get more people watching Sarah Palin speak.
Perhaps holding her back in the media has been part of a strategy to get her on TV whenever and wherever they want in the next two weeks — after the ratings for the VP debate, SNL, and her interviews, what TV producer in his right mind is going to turn down having Sarah Palin on his show?
Want ten minutes on Good Morning America (with some “preconditions”)? No problem. Want a featured spot on Jay Leno? Done. Be a guest judge on Dancing with the Stars? A cameo on CSI or Grey’s Anatomy? You name it.
ClintACK on October 21, 2008 at 2:52 PM
She’s gonna be our prez in 2012, Grue. Man, I can’t wait.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 2:53 PM
The number you have called is not avalible at this time, please hang up and try your call again.
This is a recording….

She’s great!

Checkmate.
And exactly how the hell did you come to that conclusion…?

Grue in the Attic on October 21, 2008 at 2:53 PM
You know, I’m popping PeptoBismols as though they were M&Ms. Please, please can’t middle America be made to watch this over and over again! Don’t let the MSM just drop this down the memory hole like every other Biden gaffe! All you potential Obama voters, do ya feel lucky, punks?
Fortunata on October 21, 2008 at 2:54 PM
Well delivered, but Palin making points about inexperience in a foreign policy crisis might remind some voters of their concerns with her. Powell’s and Adelman’s comments over the weekend didn’t help.
Maybe Palin pushing the Obama-is-a-socialist message is more effective, since she has credibility as an executive and the only thing Barry has run is his mouth.
dedalus on October 21, 2008 at 2:54 PM
You leave my Pessimistic Jerk alone!

upinak on October 21, 2008 at 2:54 PM
2012 will be a good year. I’ll be 27 and hopefully done with school and my current job and on my way to more permanent employment. And then Sarah’cuda will be president.
Darn it, you’re making me impatient.
*eats*
Grue in the Attic on October 21, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Allah, why don’t you just slack off while you’re up and before your knees get sore begging for mercy?
Mcguyver on October 21, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Rush just played this and the people at work were staring at me because I was laughing so hard. Thank Allah, I knew you would get it quickly. You’re the best. Oh, the other think, I think Sen. McCain mentioned that in regards to Pakistan you shouldn’t discuss it in the campaign. Besides we are already doing across the border hits.
Cindy Munford on October 21, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Sadly, it seems all they’re doing is playing the “spine of steel” part over and over. :|

Joe was pumping gas at the local filling station, and was not available for comment.

They wanted more of her.
They got it.

Common Sensical individuals wouldn’t care, because it is true.
upinak on October 21, 2008 at 2:59 PM
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet America’s (kinda smokin’) Margaret Thatcher.
So. Totally. Awesome.
Sugar Land on October 21, 2008 at 3:00 PM
She’s good. I don’t care what anyone says! I’m glad she’s not a democrat, because with the press endorsing her, she would be the next President!
afotia on October 21, 2008 at 3:00 PM
She’s definitely getting better.
Roger Waters on October 21, 2008 at 3:02 PM
Wow… that was really well done. Very composed, only a small jigger of folksiness (just enough), direct, and steely-eyed.

Fuquay Steve on October 21, 2008 at 3:03 PM
I think the Pakistan bit was directed at Obama supporters. They truly do believe that Dear Leader would NEVER, EVER, EVER invade another country. Even when faced with directed quotes from Dear Leader, they still refuse to believe it. It’s like they are brainwashed.
bloggless on October 21, 2008 at 3:04 PM
Robin H is an icon here in NC. Loved by Conservative Dems too. I’d be surprised to see Kissel pull it off. The NEGADs against Kissel are very effective.
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 3:04 PM
Drag on the ticket my ass.
She’s dragging that ticket – hopefully across the finish line.

The last time I saw Peggy she had her pinkie in the air as she demurly sipped her tea at the Four Seasons. I think she was nibling on a scone.
Fuquay Steve on October 21, 2008 at 3:07 PM
yeah, hope Hayes wins. If its a Dem wave year again he may not if enough moderates and huge black turnout against him
jp on October 21, 2008 at 3:07 PM
Glad they’ve taken the leash off the pitbull and are keeping her well-stocked with lipstick.

lodge on October 21, 2008 at 3:09 PM
And you’re browsing his site. What does that make you, eh?
I think Sarah Palin keeps visualizing Obama and Biden as moose. That’s why she keeps dropping them with one shot.
MadisonConservative on October 21, 2008 at 3:10 PM
FN A!
TheSitRep on October 21, 2008 at 3:12 PM
I drew the mental picture of Biden spending “a night in the box” ala Cool Hand Luke.
He was crying.
Sefton on October 21, 2008 at 3:12 PM
The Sarah Chronicles
some parallels there.
Onager on October 21, 2008 at 3:12 PM
She has faith and confidence in herself AND in the American people. If she drags McCain home a winner there will be no stopping her in 4 years.
DeweyWins on October 21, 2008 at 3:12 PM
Have I told anyone here how much I love her?
Kinda smokin’ Margaret Thatcher indeed!
Gottafang on October 21, 2008 at 3:12 PM
They need to book her on every news show possible to say these points. TUDAY!
marklmail on October 21, 2008 at 3:13 PM
Sitting up here in America’s Hat© I’m constantly amused and bemused by the circus you folks call an election.
Having said that….wow.
That was a hell of a speech.

Mistahtibbs on October 21, 2008 at 3:13 PM
Damn, that girl nailed it…and made Botox Joe look like the tool that he is. You’ll never see this stump speech on the networks for very long…
Wyznowski on October 21, 2008 at 3:13 PM
The absolutely fabulous Governor Sarah Palin energizes the Straight Talk Express. She means what she says.
onlineanalyst on October 21, 2008 at 3:14 PM
I noticed on the ticker that it attributed Sarah with saying what Joe said about the office of president doesn’t lend itself to on the job training. No wonder journalism today sucks, they can’t even get a quote right.
Torch on October 21, 2008 at 3:14 PM

dedalus on October 21, 2008 at 2:54 PM
Doesn’t matter. She is doing a great job on ALL fronts. Hitting his domestic policy (socialism) and now his foreign policy b/c Joe Biden put it back front and center. Go SaraCuda! She can say anything she wants. She is not running for Pres. They all wish that this was a straight up experience battle btwn Palin and Senator Gubment, but saying it over and over don’t make it so.
JAM on October 21, 2008 at 3:16 PM
This is why the left loathes her. She is good at this stuff. She can work a crowd.
I am sure that is why McCain picked her.
But don’t tell Buckley, Noonan and Brooks. Not to mention Powell and a lot of other Washington based political divas who have no idea how regular people talk and think.
Terrye on October 21, 2008 at 3:16 PM
I’d like to bring up Barry’s “spine of steel” by Sarah and referencing is abject cowardice at meeting McCain in town halls.
Joe the plumber exposed why Team Marxist feared McCain….Barry would have tangled himself all up in his own puppet strings.
Let’s roll.
ex-Democrat on October 21, 2008 at 3:17 PM
They “never” let me play with those. I’d do more damage by accidently landing in your back yard and blowing the shingles off your roof.
Funny knowing a Conservative from FV though. The only other person I know that still lives there is a former pilot from my unit that settled down there with his family as a CPA. The most liberal person I ever met in the military.
Cheers neighbor!
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Joe was in a padded cell, in a straight jacket and a muzzle…he had no comment.
Joe may be doing the rest of the campaign in the fetal position.
right2bright on October 21, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Boy, she is dynamite. Future star for sure.
You can really see why guys like Dick Morris are salivating to get the contract to work her campaign for 2012.
The interesting part of the next year, IF Obama wins, is not what O-man will do, but what will Sarah do.
She has a bright future in a rebuilt Republican Party on the national level if she wants it.
Sapwolf on October 21, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Sara’cuda and Joe are the reason McCain is going to win….
Your rash has spread, Manly. Now, I believe.
HornetSting on October 21, 2008 at 3:18 PM
I meant, Joe the Plumber AND Joe the Idiot.
HornetSting on October 21, 2008 at 3:19 PM
Sarah: Thanks for the warning, Joe!
Joe: God luv ya, whaddamI talkin about???
dont taze me bro on October 21, 2008 at 3:21 PM
She works it right with a good campaign manager, there is no stopping her in 2012 even if Obama wins this election.
Sapwolf on October 21, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Oh they have an idea…but at this point they have abandoned us to curry favor with the candidate they think will be elected president so as to preserve their status in the New Obama Order.
Unfortunately for them, they are very badly mistaken. And when the dust settles after Nov 4, there will be a reckoning for their teachery.
I for one, will not forget what they have done. In that spirit, let me dust off a variation of the Guy Fawkes poem:
Remember, remember
The 4th of November
The RINO treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the RINO treason
Should EVER be forgot.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Correction: There will be no stopping her in 2012 even after McCain wins the election.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Impossible. I use a medicated ointment.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 3:25 PM
I’ve finally figured her out, her popularity that is. She is telling you to get up off the grocery store floor and knock off the crying before she runs you over with the shopping cart.
Limerick on October 21, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Oh man, She’s good!!!
ksm on October 21, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Yeah, don’t do that.
But keep the Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher’s political metaphorical love child idea going. I like that idea. But it is, after all, just an idea. And Sarah isn’t the reincarnation of their essences. She’s her own person. (Reminds me of the very sad story of Lady Thatcher’s troubling times as written by her daughter and posted here a few months ago. It’s so sad.)

I think you mistakenly used the Enzyte® Topical Rush™ , not the medicated ointment. Only one way to find out. Are you smiling like Enzyte Bob?
I might just be smiling like Bob after the election is McCain & Palin win over Obama and Biden.
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 3:33 PM
My concern is that she is firing up the base but not swinging moderates. In the end McCain needs the most voters not the most enthusiastic voters.
She did good on the clip though.
dedalus on October 21, 2008 at 3:34 PM
She looks like she’s having fun. :)
ksm on October 21, 2008 at 3:36 PM
That explains it. The rash is still there and now I’m hung like an ox.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 3:39 PM
She’s wonderful and continues to get better all the time.
UnEasyRider on October 21, 2008 at 3:40 PM
Do we have to tell HornetSting what a manly rash really is?
I have to admit that I find that handle a bit off-putting. Although I’m sure JetBoy likes it.
BigD on October 21, 2008 at 3:40 PM
When can you be certain that Joe Biden is going to say something absolutely absurd and make a fool of himself?
His lips are moving.

OMG, she’s good. We can never let her go!
Oink on October 21, 2008 at 3:42 PM
Lady Thatcher’s illness breaks my heart. I will never forget watching her at Reagan’s funeral. She approached the casket and curtseyed. She farking curtseyed.
I wept.
The only other person on the planet to whom a British subject pays that kind of tribute is the Queen herself.
