Sarah Palin’s Magical Mad-Lib Tour took her to Florida today where 60,000 people younger than former POW John McCain turned out to see her since actual Palin sightings are rarer than running into J.D. Salinger at Taco Bell.
Before giving yet another highly-scripted talking point recitation, Palin took her snowbilly family out for a special treat:
Palin, her husband and three of their children arrived in Orlando but spent a family day at Disney World, she said as she introduced her entourage to the enthusiastic crowd.
Please note that the thirteen and a half-minutes spent in the It’s A Small World ride doubled her international experience meaning that we can all rest easy about that little gap in her resume. Oh, and that smartypants passport flaunting Joe Biden can suck on it, boo-yah! High five!
Unfortunately after sharing vacation photos Palin felt compelled to talk policy which, along with the telling the truth, is not one of her strong points:
In a theme Palin would pound home, GOP Chairman Jim Greer Greer said Obama and his running mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, have records of voting for higher taxes and have said on the campaign trail that they would increase regulation of financial markets.
"John MCain and I are going to take our case for reform to every voter in every background and every party, or no party at all," said Palin. "We’re going to Washington to shake things up."
She said "John McCain warned Congress that we needed to do something before these problems became a crisis," but that Washington — including Obama and Biden — did not act for months as financial giants teetered and toppled.
"Americans are caught in kind of a perfect storm between high taxes, high gas prices, greed on Wall Street and a shortage of courage in Washington," she said. "But we need new leadership in Washington — we need serious reform on Wall Street."
Because "reform" of Wall Street is good and increasing "regulation of financial markets" is bad. Or different. Or something.
I dunno. Maybe she going to switch from being a Naughty Librarian to being a Naughty Reform School Matron and toss those bad boys on Wall Street over her lap and give them a good spanking.
Usually that costs those guys about $200 downtown so they’ll probably appreciate the freebie now that times are tough…

Psychopaths don’t blink and lying comes naturally to them.
She remembered to use McCain’s name first this time. Did Caribou Barbie get a little trip to the woodshed?
“Reform,” in this case, means they’re going to make all those bad Wall Street zillionaires promise really hard that they are never going to do it again, and only then will they give them the Social Security money to play with.
Sometime, someone should really ask them why, if McCain knew all this bad stuff was going to happen, he never bothered to try to stop it or do anything at all about it. Come on, media hairdos, neither one of them talks to you anyway, so it’s not like they can take away your “access.”
Gosh, regulation of fiancial markets would be bad for investment bankers’ conspicuous consumption–er–CAPITALISM!
Don’t forget, TBogg, that the Duggars, I mean Palins, may very well have gone to Epcot, which would increase her foreign policy knowledge approximately by eleventy.
Is Palin, Bush with Boobs?
This woman is dumber than a box of hammers. Only motherfuckers in this country who are stupider are the retard morons who’re gonna vote for her.
Yep. Unfortunately, that appears to be 40 percent of the population. It probably includes a few borderline competent people who just don’t like their leaders to be smarter than them, either way, it’s all just profoundly depressing to think about on a Monday morning.
The thirteen and a half-minutes spent in the It’s A Small World ride seem like an eternity. I think that you’re discounting Palin’s time spent in learning about foreign affairs.
As a bonus, she got to hear that catchy theme song from the ride. The campaign should substitute “It’s a Small World, After All” for “Barracuda”, and play it over, and over, and over, and over…
Now, I’m not saying it’s not true what the fire chief is saying, but 60,000 people in a “picturesque town square”? Myth Alaska pulled almost as many people to listen to her babblings from the padded cell as Obama did during the Democratic National Convention?
I can haz photographics?
How’d they cram all of those walkers into such a small space?
Wow!!! Palin is just a total senility magnet, isn’t she? Maybe she has a kickin’ pureed moose stew recipe that makes all the seniors weak kneed.
Oh–and how fabulous for the Fort Meyers News! Palin draws her biggest crowd ever and they scoop everyone—cause 600 versus 60,000, same thing, right???
I say if we’re going to send someone to Washington to shake things, we send this guy.
BTW, the GOP chairman’s name is Jim Greer Greer?
Krusty and Sarah are coming to my area today. I intend to make them pay dearly for the insult. This is my town Mofos. I’ll be the one in the red hat and taser darts in my ass. If I dont post here tomorrow AM, will you pass the hat for bail?
Just went back and looked at photos on the Fort Meyers super Shopper’s website. Of the 23 photos of Palin and her pimped out children only 1 (maybe 2, if you’re feeling generous) actually shows the “crowd” that showed up. And it’s of people crammed into the Epcotesque square, and is clearly trying to use this to make attendance appear far greater than it was.
It’s especially apparent if one looks at the pictures of Obama on mudflats, where he is clearly dwarfed by the full capacity crowd of 20,000 plus.
Come on people, think about it. It’s easy to see 60,000 people when you use wingnut arithmetic. It’s the same mathematics that’s responsble for our current financial situation. Just close your eyes and think of a number.
Fixed.
After EMI sent McCain a cease-and-desist letter over the usage of the song Barracuda,the song was played during the convention. Ann & Nancy Wilson then made a statement to the press:

Added Republican dumb-fuckery: It’s another “Born in the USA” moment. The song Barracuda is a rant against the greedy assholes of the corporate music machine.
Is Palin, Bush with Boobs?
Haha. Considering his supporters, Bush is Bush with Boobs.
Palin at Disney World? Walt’s head is spinning in its cryogenic cylinder.
That’s Just What I Said
It is indeed “a world of tears,” my friends…
