I remember Sambo's well. I used to love their pancakes, and I ate there once with a black friend of mine from boot camp. I do not remember the renaming of it, however.

Hello? She left the governorship so she would not cheat the State of Alaska while she pursued other interests. You didn't listen to her speech, obviously.

I think she made the right choice. A lot of people would have stayed on, as a "lame duck" and continued to pursue other things.

Ahh, do you mean getting paid for not showing up for work like Obama and Biden did for nearly two years.

Or do you mean the values in all the lies from this idiotic administration in place right now?

So Kennedy passes away and did not finish his time and you believe that he cheated his state then also right?

Wondering which way you want it to be?
Well, since it is Palin we are discussing, they will say anything. Doesn't have to be true. Just make stuff up. They have been doing it for at least the last 9 years, and probably longer than that. Oh yeah, they have; they used to accuse Reagan of nodding off in meetings, and claimed he was senile.

Many more.

Don't forget McCain was "out of the office", too, during the campaign, as was Sarah.

Leave Kennedy out of it, will you, just this once? The man is dead. Don't be such a partisan that you accuse him of "quitting" b/c he died. How low can you go?
Apparently it doesn't bother you that Nancy Pelosi has been flying around all over the country and demanding bigger military jets for her little trips home, etc. Not only that, if she even thinks she might go somewhere, she has had a plane readied (at taxpayer expense), and then often cancels. This costs all of us millions of dollars.

Now you're really getting petty. You mean to say you've never heard anyone say "palling around"? Give me a break.

"Sounds like an illiterate"? Are you not listening to Obama? I don't see that his speech is any more "educated sounding". He talks like a Chicago thug. Do you criticize his speech?

Let's quit picking on the way a person speaks. Listen to some old clips of Lyndon Johnson. Democrats are not immune from colloquial language.

Is it a value to lie, and cheat your employer (The general public of the entire nation?)

I just described half of Obama's tax cheating cabinet, including the actual tax collector!. Yet the governor of a state 2,000 miles from you, who has no effect on you whatsover takes a per diem when she shouldn't and you are horrified.

Try calling someone black Sambo to their face and see how much your strip mall karate lessons will be worth!
reconmark.
Shouldn't there have been some kind of corroborating evidence that Palin said this? Shouldn't that be more of a point than the actual word itself?

But how stupid can a man be, imagening that chosing the dumbest woman in all of america would be to his benefit? What does it show about his capacity and reasoning?

Glad he made an ass of himself via Palin. I didn't see him as a suitable leader anyways.
Now this post just makes you look silly. McCain ruined his chances, because he has no credibility.

When he chose Palin, he got a significant bump in the polls, and as she went around speaking, the Republicans began raking in millions for the McCain camp, which had been suffering before.

Palin is not the "dumbest woman in the world". But this black Congresswoman from California (name slips me right now) that thinks Castro is so wonderful might be.

Maxine Waters. She also wanted to take away the oil from the oil companies.
