This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

Now you have achieved the highest source of facts, Lucille the coffee shop waitress..... With information like this, the winning side is shaking in their collective boots.
How do you show your face, with quotes of fact from Lucille? That is even below the bottom of the barrel. I hope you are embarrassed..., you shoud be

I'll take this time to point out what you just did.

You "questioned" the validity of the story (sourced from an anonymous waitress speaking to the "LAProgressive.com" crack news team) .... and then apparently forgot that you didn't know if the story was true, but decided you'd cast despersion anyway.


Nice. No wonder Americans are so easily duped into war.

Default No, I am not embarrassed at all.

One witness is not enough proof but it wouldn't surprise me that she said it. I've heard worse.

From the link:

"""“She’s doesn’t like different opinions and she refuses to compromise,” Kilkenny notes. “When she was mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t hers. Worse, ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits but on the basis of who proposed them.”
Sound familiar? Palin may well be Dick Cheney’s reincarnate.""""


Interesting article.

I'm not surprised either based on her venom and arrogance during her speech. Though I'd love to have a full name for a witness...

the entire article is really interesting if that is in fact how politics is run up there.

I love her. That's priceless. Even if it is a fabrication.

Holy cow. I just wish this waitress would give her full name and enroll in the witness protection program.
Even if this source lacks details, well, seriously, do you think someone would have to have an extraordinary imagination to make up something like this?
Realistically, the answer is no.

I realize you have two degrees, and believe me, I'm plenty impressed, but I suggest that, after reading your post, you could use some more education...
Please, stay awake in class next time....

This just in: Barack Obama's cousin's sister's best friend overheard him call John McCain a "peckerwood" while eating a cheese danish. More on this as it develops.

Fair. Balanced. Incredibly Stupid.
