I can’t speak for New Yorkers, but…..
Despite a season of barbs aimed at the coastal elites, Palin seemed to offer an olive branch to the Big Apple: "I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don’t we? That’s an alikeness between Alaskans and New Yorkers," she said.
In my heart of hearts I just know that when she uses the phrase "That’s a moot point" she pronounces it "mute". Oh yeah, you betcha….

Now you’ve got me wondering what David Sedaris would have to say about ol’ Caribou Barbie.
It’s as though she wandered in from a site called “MILFs With Glasses.” What an unpleasant, stupid, ignorant person.
Educated people from NYC to Wasilla all tear up when they hear some ignorant buffoon use a non-word like “alikeness”.
As a New Yorker, what really makes me tear up is the thought of Palin anywhere near the Oval Office. It also makes me think aboot moving 100 miles further north.
Palin/Bald Bag o’ Shit 2012!
Once Sarah’s callin’ the shots, what could possibly go wrong?
Please, we must all remember that our alikenesses are bigger than our differencenesses.
Of course, some people’s stupiditynesses are the biggest of all.
Almost as stirring as to hear W. refer repeatedly to “helicopter drivers.”
How would Palin know how Alaskans would respond to Major League Baseball on their home tundra?
In Palin’s case, MILF is an acronym for Mediocrities I’d Like to Forget.
fauxmaxbaer, if (G-d forbid!) the election had gone the other way, the Palin/Johnstons would even as we speak be moving their trailers, meth labs, bottles of OxyContin, and field gear to within a mile of Casa Biscuitbarrel. Having Cheney as a “neighbor” meant a tremendous amount of added security gear, visible snipers, etc., at the Naval Observatory. The Wasilla Hillbillies would bring painful new meaning to “There goes the neighborhood!”
Not in ‘12. Not EVER!
Dear Sarah,
Speaking from and for the little island of Manhattan, take your fucking olive branch and your “alikness” and stick it up your ass.
Thank you.
When I hear the Nat’l. Anthem played, I throw up in my mouth just a smidgen. May be the tail-gating.
I think she was talking to the ‘real’ New Yorkers in Queens and the Bronx ;>)
I think it’s time for a new National Anthem. After considering various possibilities over the years (U.S. Blues, Won’t Get Fooled Again), I think I’ve decided.
Ladies and Gentlemen, will you please rise as we celebrate America with our new National Anthem…
She’s Lloyd Christmas in glasses. Go back to Alaska where the beer flows like wine.
Hey, hey, hey!! I’m talkin’ ‘ere!!!
Palin has doubtless put any number of handlers on the Alaska state payroll. Their weeks of tireless work have paid off: Palin is able to recite a cliche.
In my heart of hearts I just know that when she uses the phrase “That’s a moot point” she pronounces it “mute”.
I wish all her points were mute.
God what a friggin’ awful chud this woman is.
Good news is, she’s providing her opponents with all the campaign quotes they’ll need for attack ads in 4 years. By the time they get done with her, she won’t be able to win an election for dogcatcher.
ah, one of my all-time favorites (and perfect for the closing mile of a half-marathon). i’ll rise and stand to that any time. never saw the vid before — excellent, thx for sharing.
I don’t think she’s capable of enunciating “mute”. Too complicated.
“Moat” may be closer.
