  5. What a lady. Mothers, this is the role model you want your girls to aspire to. The left doesn’t know what they’re missing.

  10. Shatner was doing the same thing previous to this.
    He is starting to look like his counterpart who came from NY, Jerome Howard.

  12. That Sarah Palin! What a gal!
    ‘Such a good sport, so natural, so spunky, so not intimidated by asshats, not to mention drop-dead gorgeous, not to mention all the right values: pro-life, pro-family, pro-women as opposed to feminists, pro-kids, pro-guys, pro-all the things that will ensure the continuation of homo sapiens on earth with compassion and common sense.
    If I was American, I’d vote for her for POTUS. Go, Sarah!
    I heart her, too, Soccermom!

  13. That was great!
    Such class from Sarah Palin, as per usual.
    Heh, that odd looking skinny guy was looking a bit bewildered there for a sec, no?
    Go Sarah go, the left are so afraid of you.

  14. Greetings SDA. Love the vid. Where did Sarah Palin come from out of the slime of politics down here – she is a woman of integrity, intelligence and grit. See my comparison between Obama and Palin and what is allowed to each:

    “About Misspeaking – War on Sarah’s Words.”

  15. I don’t think Diane Francis would approve of Sarah, what with Sarah having more than one kid and all.

  16. I Can See Romulus From My House
    How about “I can see the Russian Embassy From My Hotel Room”?
    The left will never love Governor Palin the way they fawn over Obama. However, the left is beginning to wake up to the idea that Mrs. Palin is very witty and has begun to understand her personal charisma is one of the reasons why she was and is so popular in Alaska.
    Last Saturday, December 5, Palin spoke to a group of very leftist journalists at the Gridiron Club in Washington. Apparently, even they found it hilarious. The entire text is here:

  17. Mr.X @ 11:52 am, I’d say the Left does know what they’re missing and their jealousy is palpable.

  18. Palin’s scheduled appearance at a hospital fundraiser in Hamilton is already making leftard heads pop. They think because there is a dipper MP (damn!) in the area she shouldn’t be allowed to speak because “we” are a social democratic community.
    Meanwhile $200 dinner tickets are already moving briskly.

  19. Funny…Letterman continues to slam her so she makes an appearance on Conan’s show…I wouldn’t be surprised if she turned up there again.

  20. Ken (Kulak)
    So typical of a lefty, she has two children, wonder which one she’d choose to do without?
    My take on this ignorance from her is that one of them is not living up to her expectations.

  21. William Shatner is from Montreal and Sarah Palin is from Alaska, the freak state given its proximity to Canada. William Riker, commander of the Enterprise, is also from Alaska. Coincidence? I think not.
    It’s good to see people are being good sports about this, though William Shatner appeared nervous- a little- “Amok Time” nervous.

  24. Watch how cbc covered this story.They simply show the clip oh Sarah doing her very cute response..they had NO mention of why she was there,just left the viewer thinking that she just came on out of the blue to mock Shatner.Fair and balanced cbc!

  26. Great spot for Palin. I love the way the left despises her. People clearly respond to her. I like her too.
    But none of that means that I want to see her as President; and I don’t think she will get there anyway. Comparisons with Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher (especially Margaret Thatcher) are misguided and wishful thinking.

  28. Comparisons with Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher (especially Margaret Thatcher) are misguided and wishful thinking.
    … speaking of misguided statements….
    For a more informed analysis, SDA readers may want to examine an excellent article by Steve Flesher at American Thinker.

    Liberals and Republicans alike declared Ronald Reagan unqualified to be president, especially after Gerald Ford beat him for the Republican nomination in 1976. Even after four years of Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford himself remarked as late as March 1979 that Reagan was “unelectable.”
    Gerald Ford is not the only member of a previously-failed presidential campaign to make such a proclamation. Just last month, Steve Schmidt, who headed the losing McCain ticket, claimed that Palin would not be “a winning candidate” for president.

  29. the joke on the lefties is that they catapulted Sarah to the “top” with their attacks on her, without those attacks she would probably still be mayor of Alaska and inconsequential

  30. Hey, anyone notice she’s speaking in a totally different manner? None of that phony folksy crap, with the dropping og ‘g”s, etc. Her voice is even different, pitched lower, not so perky and “well, golly gee!” It can’t be explained away by the fact that she’s reading another’s words.
    Makes you think, doesn’t it? Like the folksy stuff is put-on act. Wonder what else is put-on?
    BTW, when someone does an act, like Shatner did, based on the implicit premise that you are a blithering idiot, it usually doesn’t help, in most discerning eyes, for you to jump in and help them out with the spirit of “it’s all good fun”…..but whatever.

  33. Maybe Palin isn’t, at this time qualified to be president. What are proper qualifications? It is afterall a popularity contest. The gormless clod who presently leads the U.S. is not qualified in any respect but he did win the contest. Each time Palin is the subject of a Letterman joke or makes an appearance on prime time tv she increases her popularity.

  34. That lady is definitely the next POTUS.
    Kate: Have you invited her down to hunt white-tail with you next fall?
    Heh.

  35. Sarah.
    Class act.
    Part of me wishes I was American because of her. What an awesome lady!

  36. Boy wen bleet comes out from under his rock to blast somebody, it sure is a withering attack! I mean wow!
    But there is one thing I don’t understand, bleet, and maybe you can help me with this, because I am a little slow, but is it at all possible that the media overemphasized the folksiness as a line of attack? Do you resent that she is controlling how she is presented now? I sure do! I wish that we could only get our Sarah second hand through trusted filters like NBC and MSNBC, and CNN! I bet if that happened, we wouldn’t have to wonder why she seems maybe a little smarter than I thought.

  37. Brent: Flesher’s is a superficial comparison which takes no account of the demonstrated depth of Reagan’s thinking on a very wide range of issues by the mid-70s, well before he ever became President. Palin at this stage can’t come close, and I don’t think she ever will.
    The main similarity right now between Reagan and Palin is the one you focus on, that they were/are widely dismissed. But Flesher overstates his argument in Reagan’s case, and even if it was just as he says it was for Reagan by the mid-70s, that’s not enough to validate the comparison between him and Palin. But as far as I’ve seen, this is the main argument that those people use who want to draw a favourable comparison between the two. It’s simplistic.
    Still, as I said, I like her and detest the way she’s been treated by the left and the media.

  38. You know, Microsoft has a motto: Embrace and extend. I think this is Palin’s strategy… take the jokes, and make them yours. She comes across as good-humoured, and the people love it.
    And this is in Los Angeles.

  39. Bleet, you ain’t seen nothing. Hunt up some youtube of Obama talkin’ to black folk, if you want to witness dialect swing.

  41. Without doubt OBOZO and Obamamania will be carefully analysed and studied for generations.
    It appears that Sarah Palin is an integral fraction of that.
    Sarah Palin is as much a product of the Democratic/media dream machine as OBOZO. The democrats/media instantly recognized Sarah Palin as their nemisis and went into insane attack mode.
    Bizarre as it may seem, it is entirely possible that Sarah Palin has become what the Democrat/media machine envisioned and by adopting that image, Palin will become the first woman POTUS.
    Now….let me clarify this…..the Democrat/media image of Palin is what is currently seen. In their desperation to remove her as a threat, the Democrat/media portrayal Of Sarah Palin as an inexperienced, uneducated, dim-witted, red-neck, rustic bumpkin was over-played perhaps. The unintended consequence was a lowered expectation, and inspired empathy for an underdog.
    Image making is indeed a tricky business.
    My position is that the Democrat/media machine should have stuck exclusively to inciting Obamamania and left Sarah Palin unmolested and unmentioned….but they didn’t did they?

    Or maybe she’s just capable of modulating her voice in this certain setting. I saw her speak publicly a few weeks ago, and that folksy vernacular was right there.

  44. This is a parable Jesus spoke in parables so that people would understand.
    This note is legal tender for all debts both public and private.
    1. The government says you can take possession of any property contracted to purchase by surrendering said note.
    2. Virtually all property is covered by such contracts, land, ships, buildings, planes, intellectual property, easements, licenses. It is virtually impossible to do anything without surrendering such note.
    3, Say hypothetically all the property in ASU is worth $100 which is all the notes printed by ASU.
    All items are covered by purchase and sale agreements and law satisfied by surrendering the notes.
    initial agreement xyz
    1. All the private land and buildings are worth $ 20.00 30.00
    3. All vehicles and machinery are worth $ 20.00 30.00
    5. All agreements to provide goods and services, medical, $ 20.00
    labor, etc.
    are worth
    2. All public land and buildings are worth $ 20.00 30.00
    4. All licenses and taxes are worth $ 20.00
    sh $75.00 xyz $ 65.00 gov $40.00
    john doe decides to start a company xyz inc. He has no assets but he promises to buy all the land machinery and vehicles for $90. He sell stock 100 shares @ $,70 per share and his company owns all the land and machinery in ASU. He rents all the land and machinery to the shareholders for $40 per year and gives his shareholders $.40 per share. His shareholders make $40.00 plus $20.00 for goods and services. The government pays xyz $10.00 per year to rent public property and $20.00 to rent vehicles and private property. The gov gives an additional $5.00 to xyz for goods and services and $5.00 to shareholders for goods and services.
    His shareholders pay the taxes. They rent the land and vehicles. They provide the services and make $20.00. The government rents the land and pays goods and services of $5.00.
    Understand that this is a laid back little country. Very small. a few old pick-up, some shacks a bunch of chickens running around. They printed $100 in 1847 and thats all there is. It is a real paradise except for one thing. Every 20 years or so a big hurricane named Gladiola comes in and smashes up the little country. Without fail, it can be as calm as a corpse for thousands of miles. Then even though ASU is landlocked, this big wind comes in and smashes everything.
    Ii all started when a limey sailor showed up in town with painted harlot. Things were a lot different then. There were houses and cabanas and even a couple of churches and about eight bars. It seems the limey sailor and his harlot were mainly interested in the bars ( and each other ). To get on with the story. One sunny day this lady showed up in what looked to be a wedding dress. It was hard to tell it was so dirty, it looked like she had been wearing it for months. She came into town and said to the first soul she met. “My name is Gladiola. Have you seen this person?”, and she showed a crumpled picture. The person she spoke with said, “It could possibly be that English gentleman who showed by a few weeks ago”.
    Gladiola then asked. “You might tell me where I could find him?” She was pointed to one of the local pubs. She walked to the door and peered in and stood there for a moment. She dropped the picture and put her hand to her eye. She left and no one has seen her before or since. But two days later we all heard a terrible howling and terrific wind and lightning. The rain came in sideways.
    When it was over no one knew if the limey sailor or the harlot were alive or among the missing.
    The country was rebuilt as good as new, but twenty years later almost to that day the same thing happened.
    It was rebuilt this time with no bars and it became law that all must attend church.
    No matter twenty years latter it happened again. Scientists from all over debunked it and came to the country to study and write papers. Those who survived it said “Yes, it sure looked like a hurricane all right!”
    As painful as it is to live through this all these years, it was even worse after Nicaragua invaded us. Then when Gladiola came she took Nicaragua too. Now everybody just leaves us alone. You won’t even see it on a map.
    Once we were told to build holes and folks dug in. Sure is a lot of water in one of those canes. About the only ones to survive were above ground.
    Then we were told to build concrete bunkers. The water washed out the foundations. The roofs of a couple that still show are a great place to work on the pickups.
    Getting back to the original story which is our economy. When john doe finally grabbed every inch of this paradise ( paradise except for one thing ). The shareholders started bidding up the stock. The $,40 stock climbed to $200.00. john doe was selling options at a future date for 150.00 with the price at close to $200.00. What a steal! How could you lose!
    john doe hired a guy to dump a load of ice by the river. He then got the guys at the TV station to say an ice age was coming sure as heck, 24 hours a day. By this time it was against the law to talk about Gladiola. Which was a subject nobody wanted to talk about anyway. And just after john sold his stock for $200. the stock went down to $,40. Then because john was “too big” to fail the government promised John $10 million, which is fifty times all the the money that’s ever circulated in the country. So there are a couple of thousand ASU citizens that each owe john a million each.
    Now john is building a great big stadium on top of drunken limey mountain, and there is a very slippery and steep path down, And all the folks who owe him money have to be up there next weekend. That’s just about the time Gladiola comes through and I don’t want to go.

  45. Mj is bang-on in his comments.
    To me she is this eras Douglas MacArthur – dearly loved by the right wing, deeply polarizing and ultimately very weak on policy and unelectable.
    The question remains in this comparison whether palin will fade away in the run-up to the next election as mac a did after coming home.

  46. Mike Kelley at December 12, 2009 11:55 AM
    I guess there is no law against the future POTUS being drop-dead gorgeous
    …And there you have the real reason for OUTRAGE from the left. The left’s women are ugly…and jealous.

  47. Wow, Tim in Vermont
    So the phony folksiness is merely the result of the Big Bad Liberal Media picking on her, huh?
    Yeah, I just hate how they dubbed the “oh golly gee” stuff into her statements, and raised her voice two octaves higher than in the clip above and made her say she didn’t know what the Bush doctrine was, or that she didn’t know what newspapers she read.
    I really hated when they did a CGI effect that made her like she was winking into the camera at the Vice Presidential Debate! Big Bad meanies!
    Look – here they are again in an interview just last week:
    INGRAHAM:Would you agree to a debate with Al Gore on this issue?
    PALIN: Oh my goodness. You know, it depends on what the venue would be, what the forum. Because Laura, as you know, if it would be some kind of conventional, traditional debate with his friends setting it up or being the commentators I’ll get clobbered because, you know, they don’t want to listen to the facts….
    Oh my goodness, gosh and golly gee! Poor widdle Sarah!
    INGRAHAM: But what if it’s an Oxford-style, proper debate format. I mean, he’s going to chicken out. I mean, if you challenge him to a debate, do you actually think he would accept it?
    PALIN: I don’t know, I don’t know. Oh, he wouldn’t want to lower himself, I think, to, you know, my level to debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla.
    AWWWW! Little poor widle ol’ Sarah!
    I HATE how the Big Bad Liberal Media puts those words in her mouth to make her sound like a victimized faux populist whiner!
    But you dig it, huh, Tim, just like with GWB talkin’ like a halfwit hayseed (even though he’s an aristocratic blueblood with an elite education) ’cause it doesn’t make you feel inferior. Suckered again!

  49. When a politician tries to act, it is usually pretty bad but Sarah and Captain Kirk was priceless. Those two pulled off the skit pretty well. Bravo.

  50. Well bleet, I am deeply touched by the honor of your reply.
    While I accept the bulk of your rebuke as inarguable gospel truth, and in retrospect, after your clear exposition, even obvious, but I would just like to know where the “Bush Doctrine” was formally codified. It would help me so much if you could point me to it, because, like poor ignorant Sarah, I can’t find any reference to it outside of the left wing blogosphere.
    Is her sin that she is unaware of the natterings of Kos? I bet she is also unaware of the engineering details of the findings of the troofers that heat can’t weaken steel?
