Great moments in Wingnut Logic.
A sampling (which was too adorable to pass up) from the Gun Counter Gomer League of I'm Smart! Not Like Everybody Says... Like Dumb... I'm Smart and I Want Respect! commenters while discussing the virtues of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin:
Palin - She'd certainly spice up the ticket. I like everything I've heard about Palin and was initially very enthusiatic about her. But she's not yet ready for prime time. McCain is 71, that makes his VP choice even more crucial than Obama's.
As much as I love the idea of a pro-life, tax-cutting conservative VP who also is pretty and hunts, I can't see her dealing wtih Russia or Iran at this point. Not because Palin is female, but because she just ain't ready. Both would be better than Lieberman or Huckabee or Ridge. But I'm not breaking out the champagne yet.

If Alaska did have its own foreign policy (as ‘Bering Strait’ seems to think), I’m pretty sure it would be much more accommodationist toward Russia than the Republicans would like.
Why don’t we put our anti-ballistic missiles in Alaska instead of Poland?
Look, these people not only read Gomer’s site and take him seriously, they offer up (allegedly) serious comments on his writing. That tells you all you need to know about them.
Yeah, bring on Palin, and let Bering Strait and friends provide the cheerleading section. Wouldn’t do McInane a bit of good.
Well, I certainly recall Palin on the front lines of the “Great Crab Boat battle of ought-4″ when Russian crabbers snuck into the Bering strait and stole a bunch of good ol’ American crab pots, because American crab pots are like Levi’s jeans, and Russian crab pots are like, umm, not-Levi’s Jeans.
Palin bolted down to the docks and found the crewmen from the Cornelia Marie but was taken aback when they made suggestive gestures and inquired if she wanted to go crabbing with them. It was all solved when the dickhead captain from the Northwestern and the even more dickheaded captain from the Wizard traded the rooskies some salmon and vodka for the stolen crab pots.
There already are some anti-ballistic missiles and radar in Alaska.
It’s too bad Michael Palin isn’t eligible for the presidency. Maybe we could get Terry Gilliam.
God bless the Alaska Militia and its brave little dogsled cavalry.
Maybe the Canadians will use their strong dollar wisely and buy back Alaska in the very near future. As long as they promise to keep all the natives (like donna v and bering strait) I think we should accept any offer they give us.
When I see logic and wisdom like Donna V displays, I realize the left is doomed.
But if you’re a Republican, you can never have too many anti-missile missiles. And of course, putting more of them in Alaska instead of in Poland or Latvia or wherever would, you know, actually allow them to intercept missiles from North Korea or Russia headed to the U.S. On the other hand, it’s possible the crafty Ruskies and North Korean commies will send their missiles the other way as a feint in a sort of hit ‘em where they won’t expect it sort of thing. On the other other hand, North Korea doesn’t have any missiles that would reach Poland, much less sail on to hit the U.S. after overflying Polish air space. I bet John Bolton could explain the whole thing because you should never trust a Sicilian when death is on the line…
Install some tubes betwixt Russia and Alaska already.
She’s also kicking Santa’s ass.
Remember: these people are allowed to vote.
Maybe not all - I bet some of Gomer’s readership is under 18. And there may be a few felons in there too.
These people also make me (briefly) question the wisdom of universal suffrage.
Goodbyetoallthat - as well as here in Montana, in Arkansas, the Dakotas, and almost anywhere else there are not many people. In part because our missiles, unlike those in Iran, can actually hit a target anywhere in the world rather than just those within 1000 miles.
She can’t deal with Russia?! But she’s pretty!
Biggest problem isn’t voting, it’s breeding.
Wait, Alaska’s a state? I thought it was one of those exotic, foreign lands.
Heh, I’ll bet something of reasonable value that “Bering Strait” is someone trolling from Sadly, No.
