Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose
hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah
Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President .

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.'

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post
turtle was.

The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you
come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post
turtle.'

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued
to explain. 'You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't
belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and
you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.

Just imagine what Kissinger was thinking when he saw Palin """discuss"""" foreign policy issues with Gibson and Couric.

LOL

Keep it up Katie. Is this the best you can do to get people to watch your show? Pretty pathetic. I would tell you you're almost as bad as Charlie Gipson, but that wouldn't be truthful. Unfortunately, you're not that smart. So here's the deal, the more you "pick on" Palin, the deeper you dig you're own grave. Do you really think Perky Katie will ever be able to come back after appearing as a spiteful, vindictive, ankle biter. So, keep it up, I know I'll never watch you again.

Palin calls Obama naive..... now thats hilarious.... like the pot calling the kettle black....

She is a joke and the more she talks the more unqualified she appears...

Palin is the unable..... she is the candidate to nowhere... now I wish she would just go there

Palin and McCain are right.

dumb dumb dumb

As a fellow Texan, I like the words of Mortimer Snerd.....couldn't say it any better

back after appearing as a spiteful, vindictive, ankle biter. So, keep it up, I know I'll never watch you again.

what exactly did Katie do?

Sarah Palin is far more credible than Kissinger. She can see Russia!

Seriously, how in the world does someone with absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE of anything become a VP candidate?

I hope people are listening to the rediculous and scary display of McCain's judgement.

what did Katie do????

anyone???

Someone pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease make it stop!!! This woman is a joke--what was McCain smoking when he chose her as his running mate???? The interview with Couric was painful to watch--she is so not ready to be in the public eye! How does she run her state?? Oh yes, I forgot, her husband is the "shadow" governor!

FUN QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!!!!

answer this correctly and you will receive today's award for BRIGHTEST PERSON THAT READS ABC:

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE FOLLOWING ARGUMENT ABOUT DRILLING IN OUR COUNTRY FOR ENERGY SOURCES?

1- Who said: "OUR OPPONENTS SAY, AGAIN AND AGAIN, THAT DRILLING WILL NOT SOLVE ALL OF AMERICA'S ENGERGY PROBLEMS - AS IF WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT ALREADY"

2- And who said: "I BEG TO DISAGREE WITH ANY CANDIDATE WHO WOULD SAY WE CAN'T DRILL OUR WAY OUT OF OUR PROBLEMS"

Choose your Answer:

A - Sarah Palin Against Sarah Palin
B - Former Mayor of Wasila Against Alaska's Governor
C - Brystol Palins Mom Against Willow Palin's Mom
D - All of the Above

What arrogance and disrepect - I don't think this woman "foreign policy expert" with her six year bachelor degree in journalism could carry Obama's briefcase. Who is she to so publicly diss a man who has accomplished much academically and in his career? It shows her insecurity - competent people can disagree intelligently on complex subjects without such disdain. She should just continue to shut up and be thought stupid than to continue to open her mouth and remove all doubt. Go home before you completely embarrass yourself, your state and your family.

Ha ha ha!

Barack Obama is so 'down to earth' that the little minds like Sarah's easily overlook the magnitude of the man.

Barack Obama is a Harvard Lawyer, a University professor, spent 11 years in State and National Legislatures, and has been given props by other experienced Senators on the Foreign Relations Committee; yet this little c-grade college grad, Sarah Falin, thinks such a HIGHLY INTELLIGENT & HIGHLY EDUCATED US Senator is 'naive'? lol

Sarah Falin hardly knows what foreign policy issues are and she is trying to be snotty. Then the McCaint campaign gets defensive when this 'green' Falin is called out for her lack of national and international aptitude and experience? lol

Childishly and foolishly holding a foreign opponents in disdain is exactly the kind of narrow-mindedness why bush-McCaint got humiliated by Russians over Georgia!

AMERICA TRUELY BETTER PRAY THAT SARAH PALIN, OR JOHN McCAIN DOESN'T WIN THIS ELECTION... OR WE ARE DOOMED ...

What is it with you Palin supporters? Any time this woman is asked a simple question, she makes a stupid answer. Then you complain she's being "picked on"?

The truth is she IS NOT PREPARED TO LEAD OUR NATION!

ANYONE. I mean anyone could do and say exactly what she is doing and saying. But this is not the "WHO WANTS TO BE VICE PRESIDENT" show.

Some of us want the BEST MINDS for our leadership - not some mediocre minded prom queen who can only read a sarcastic speech and a guy who keeps reciting life events from 40 years ago.

You folks probably think the Hannity infomercial was a "real" interview.

From the latest NYT/CBS poll:

nearly 3 in 4 respondents call it a good idea for the president to meet with leaders of unfriendly countries.

Palin is out of touch with Americans.

Someone pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease make it stop!!! This woman is a joke--what was McCain smoking when he chose her as his running mate???? The interview with Couric was painful to watch--she is so not ready to be in the public eye! How does she run her state?? Oh yes, I forgot, her husband is the "shadow" governor!

HOW DOES SHE RUN HER STATE? Why by getting more pork money than any other state! hell... even Jessica Simpson would be a better VEEP...

Alaska #1! (state with money for pork projects)

Gigi---Point WELL TAKEN!!

The "confirmation" CBS got (which wasn't from Kissinger himself as they inplied) sounds like it confirms what Palin said about his position.

"Seriously, how in the world does someone with absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE of anything become a VP candidate?"

By having:
• Executive experience being a change agent as a Governor, fighting corruption and gov’t waste.

• Executive experience with budgeting and running a government.

• Experience with energy issues – we have an energy crisis that is threatening our national security.

• Life experience that has taught her to value the core values that have made America a great nation:

o Free Market/Pro-growth economic policies
o Strong national defense to stand up to evil regimes rather than appease them
o A gov’t that promotes traditional values, in a non-coercive way.

Know what; I only read the commentaries on bush's and Falin's speeches. lol

The breadth of their thinking is so narrow; it is very very hard to watch and listen to the shallow baby of such intellectually challenged individuals who are supposed to be leaders.

US badly needs to upgrade the educational system. In this way, we won't have a majority of mis-educated citizens voting fellow fools into office.

That is one of the huge down sides of democracy; fools get to vote for their own kind. And if they have the numbers, the nation perishes!

How much Bank scandel actually follows McCain? Well, He was investigated and largely exonerated in a political influence scandal of the 1980s as a member of the 'Keating Five'. His connection to Rick Davis, who imbezzeled money from Fannie Mae, as early as last Month. And one of McCains sons, who was a bank auditor, mysteriously left his job , two months before the bank went bankrupt. Even another Senator from an earlier speech, connected McCain to the scandel in the 1980's. The 'Keats five'. McCain has told us, he has been in contact with the Senate, but even the Senators said, they had not spoken to him. He just heard of the plan two days ago. McCain has lost Touch. Being touched by CORUPTION, must make him feel a little numb. If he can still feel at all.

I have a question, about any other organizations, he may be a part of.

Americans may be curious to know which one. I suggest transparency be implemented. At least that is McCains platform. It still is, Right?

And guess what, about Todd Palin?
:)
Of course, Sarah could not join. But she could speak at a group meeting. She's a Female. Only Men join this group. Women join the OTHER ONE. :)

Who is Senator Richard Shelby...
Who wants the answers?
Who is waiting for the book, to come out?

She can see Russia from her from her front porch.

If she goes upstairs, she can see Iran out her bathroom window.

PATHETIC JUDGEMENT, JOHN.

WHAT A MISTAKE.

Sarah Palin is a Joke unto Herself.

I feel like watching a comedy when I watch the interview.

Now that Sarah has ticked off the foreign affairs box, she will fly to Washington and fix the economy. Next week, she can concentrate on global warming. By the time November 4th rolls along there will be no more issues and she will be seen as saviour of the world.

In Sarah's mind this is true. Please don't bring her down, Katie. She's just getting the hang of this whole running for high office thingy.

Kissinger kept communism alive in the Soviet Union about 10 years longer than it should have lasted by supporting payments to the Soviets. Many scholars look at Kissinger as a naive idealist. Now Obama follows the same policies as Kissinger. To say you agree with Kissinger is not flattering at all.

If Sarah Palin is so arrogant and thinks she's such an expert, why isn't she forcing McCain's hand to speak out, take dozens of interviews, and meet with the big bad press? Does she really think people look at her credentials and then Obama's and think she has the constitutional knowledge to go around ridiculing other politicians? This isn't Wasilla, where you only have to be smarter than a few thousand other people. I am a professional woman with an advanced degree and certification, and I am so ashamed when I see her embarrass all of us. She is the epitome of what I have fought against my whole career - a token female brought in to a situation to be used as a means to an end. Women have struggled for so long to be treated fairly, and recognized for their education and accomplishments. She seems to be the only one who cannot recognize she is being used. Does she have no dignity to be gagged like the crazy grandma and not allowed out in public on her own? At some level, since she goes along with this treatment, even she must acknowledge deep down that she is woefully out of her league.

Sarah Palin

The gift that keeps on giving.

Thank You!

The Republicans can not even agree with each other. Some have been on news stating they agree with the Dems, and some do not. Even Richard Shelby said the Rebuplicans, may not be able, to stop the vote. But then the Republicans, say they can not agree with each other. Bill O'Reilly just played a recording attacking Jews. O'Reilly is a sick man. Why has he not called out McCains coruption. Because he is 'Fair and McCained.' Why hasn't he played McCains Pastor on his show? Because it McCains Pastor is a Hate Monger too. Yet, he talks about the other side, he is Biased. Will his darkest secret be revealed? He is a CAPITOL TERRORIST, who wants to continue, to swim in BLACK GOLD. Middle America, has felt his words.

Every time she attemps to formulate an opinion, she forgets what the flash cards read. I am sick of her already. i'm sure she's a good mayor and a responsible Mother, but why must we be forced to read her headlines of stupidity. She is one heartbeat away from the trailer park. After November, will she go away and never come back?

This woman truly does not know her ass from a hole in the ground!

Did y'all see the video of Palin being indoctrinated agaist Witchcraft?
Go to you tube, search for "Palin Witchcraft".

This woman is a incompetent, stupid, ignorant, religious End of Times freak who will destroy America if let within a mile of the white house.

She's a BIMBO.

That's all.

I was shot when I saw the future vice president in that interview. I don't know how she mananges to become the gov of Alaska. I say sorry for the republicain party for choosing this imcompetent...She even does not know how to answer to the basics questions, how she can represent this great nation. That is telling now the battle is over. WE will welcome Barack and Biden in the White House in November 4th night

By the way will someone please tell t dimwit that russia had an election and Putin is no longer the President!!!!!!

Here are some words for Obama supporters:
Obama's own words

"Just this past week, we passed out of the US Senate Banking Cmte, which is my Cmte a bill..." on 7/23/2008 The promblem is he is NOT on this Cmte.

It's just words!

"My father served in WWII, and when he came home, he got the services that he needed." on 6/28/2008. remark at the NALEO conference in DC. The only probem is that his father NEVER served.

It's just words!

"I'm NOT favor of SAME sex marriage, but favor civil UNION" in Zaneville, OH on 7/1/2008.

It's just words!

"Because, you know, it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of US. I've now been in 57 States, I think one left to go. One left to go, Alaska AND Hawaii I was not allowed to go even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it." at Beaverton, OR on 5/9/2008

It's just words!

There are MORE, these are just a few highlights.

Now, who is the DUMBASS? What say you Obama supporters?

I'll take Palin's comment "I can Russia.." any time. At least, I know it's ACCURATE!

ANYBODY who stands up to McCain prime puppeteer Kissinger gets a point in my book. I'll take Palin. Now if we could just match her with a Ron Paul or somebody who isn't insane, we might be able to turn this country around. McCain may be garbage but it's you guys who will get her elected. The more you attack her the higher her approval goes up. The women have had enough of being told what to think and what to do! It's about freakin' time. Take THAT Hilliary!

I dont understand why people hate Sarah Palin. She used to be a hockey mum, which shows she is tough. She's got over a years experience as a governer, which isnt too bad. Yesterday she met a few foreign leaders, so she now knows about international relations too. In a few weeks why cant she be a heart beat away from total control of our armed forces...oops...okay God help us!

Oh Johnny boy, why did you go out and ruin this campain? I was on your side as an Independent! Now your just a shell of yourself, why oh why did you choose this Palin chick? She is ruining your legacy. A VP almost never helps, but they can always hurt.

Drop her, Romney would have been a better compliment to your scattering beliefs.

Of all the vp choices McCain had to pick her. I know he was trying to win over the conservatives but omg, couldn't he find someone smarter. She's an embarrassment.

The "confirmation" CBS got (which wasn't from Kissinger himself as they inplied) sounds like it confirms what Palin said about his position.

Former U.S. secretaries of state say they support talks with Iran

By Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service

Tags: Iran, United States

Five former U.S. secretaries of state on Monday announced their support for talks with Iran, with all five saying the United States should not wait to launch diplomatic engagements with the Islamic Republic.

The former chief diplomats, Madeleine K. Albright; James A. Baker, III; Warren Christopher; Henry A. Kissinger; and Colin L. Powell issued their support for talks during a roundtable discussion entitled "The Next President: A World of Challenges," held at Washington D.C.'s George Washington University.

Obama experience included:

...........
...........
...........

Now, he is running for the POTUS.
What a JOKE! this one is a real JOKER!

Yes... God help us all.

Usually when O'Reilly finds a video he dispises, he reveils the makers of the videos. Yet tonight he showed a scared McCain being made fun of. But didn't reveil the makers. Unusual for him. they are corupted by McCains CAPITOLISTS, trying to get a sympathy vote. Sick O'Reilly. Just keep being 'Fair and McSilly'. People watch all the channels. and realize when McCain and his Staff memebers talk, They seem to disagree with each other, and even the Republicans. McCain has NO Plan, but Obamas. He NEVER endorsed Green Energy, until just weeks ago. Even Palin could not think of any of your ideas. Sad little man. Forign Capitol Terrorist are taking American homes. Neighbors are selling their belongings, to make their next house payments. While the Far Right Tycoons, say they want to wait for a plan,until Americans are dying. But They will be able to pick throgh the bodies, for flesh. Hitler did the same thing. Nazi Far right Tycoons are ready to destroy America. Let us see Mccains Specific Plan.

Sarah Palin employed a lobbyist who also worked for Jack Abramoff to secure $27 million in pork spending for Wasilla - more than $4,000 per resident.

In her two years as governor, requested $453 MILLION in earmarks.

Alaska ranks first in the nation for pork, taking in SEVEN TIMES the national average.

Voter in America, If you depend on gaffes and soundbytes to formulate your opinion then I wouldn't even bother reading the candidates' outlines on teh issues.

What is becoming clear to Americans is that Obama is very much in touch. McCain is just very wealthy.

But

Why bother even reading at all? Just let Foxnews and their "Soundbyte Assult Division" guide you towards reality. That is just FNSAD.

Obama is just an evil wittle muslim. There, there, feel better my feeble little lamb?

This lady Palin is a disaster. I listened to her interview this evening and the CNN discussions on what she said. This is pathetic! Is she saying that our respected Henry Kissinger does not get it too on meeting with Iranian president as proposed by Obama? Give me a break.People like Sarah Palin one does not need a vice presidential candidate. Joe Biden will mince you.You are simply not ready and a very bad choice.Very unfortunat for MaCain, no wonder she has been avoiding the press. No hiding place for you, and there is no room for mediocres in this computer age.GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08&12

Palin understands that you cannot negotiate or try to reason with a crazy person. It's just makes them more unstable. Iranians are certifiable, just ask one of their citizens if they think the justice system is fair. They inprison and torture their people for no logical reason. An American FBI agent went there to investigate cigarette smuggling in 2007 and hasn't been seen since.
Why do we want to appease and negotiate with the unstable, illogical leaders in Iran? No matter what we say or do, they will always hate us for just being who we are. They think U.S. is a sinful country because we tolerate homesexuality, women are not required to wear head coverings, we do not stone people to death for adultery or for speaking out against our country's leaders. Young girls are required to marry older men who are abusive. If the women have children and decide to divorce, she is an outcast and doesn't even have rights to her children. Women can be inprisoned for being alone with a male unrelated to her. They hate all our music, TV shows and arts.
Ahmadenjad has absolutely no respect for the U.S. and mocks us to our face. Yet, the far left feels it necessary to honor him with a banquet, and Larry King feels it necessary to have a little pow-wow with him on his show when he visits here.
Until Iran shows some humanity towards their people, Israel and the U.S. we do not owe them a sit down, negotiation, handshake or a kiss-my-@ss.

I don't recall that Kissinger is particularly wise or successful. He was mediocre, at best.

Let's see him obtain verifiably successful cooperation with A-hole-dine-jihad before we praise him any more.

I'd rather see Palin squeeze that Little Monkey's peanuts, anyway.

How much Bank scandel actually follows McCain? Well, He was investigated and largely exonerated in a political influence scandal of the 1980s as a member of the 'Keating Five'. His connection to Rick Davis, who imbezzeled money from Fannie Mae, as early as last Month. And one of McCains sons, who was a bank auditor, mysteriously left his job , two months before the bank went bankrupt.

Of course, Sarah could not join. But she could speak at a group meeting. She's a Female. Only Men join this group. Women join the OTHER ONE.

Who is Senator Richard Shelby...
Who wants the answers?
So McCain sides with FOREIGN CAPITOLIST NAZIS. The Far Right Republican have voiced their opinions, about America. The Do want it to fall. And the said IRAN was bad. CAPITOL TERRORISTS ARE ALREADY IN AMERICA. They are just waiting for Middle America, to kill eachother, trying to get to them. A 'CHEMICAL WEDDING', is the story of Republicans.

Incidntally, for all of you deep thinkers out there who condemn Palin for lacking sufficient experience to be Vice President, why don't you have a serious look at the "experience" that your Presidential candidate purports to have. They're on par, so your arguments are totally asinine.

Palin and McCain are far right.

S Adams....

What has the Bush administration accomplished with its foriegn policies? Nothing! Heck, It can't get any worse by sitting down with our enemies and at least trying to accomplish something.

Pointing out how much they hate everything western doesn't make the nuclear threat just go away. Taking the high and mighty road and saying "we don't owe them" is just BS. Obviously you don't see our enemies as human. And for that you have already lost the battle of diplomacy. Had Ronald Reagan not sat with Gorbey where would Russia be today? Better off? Nevermind, I just realized that you shouldn't argue with an Idiot.

I'm all for diplomacy and if that fails you go to step 2. That is simply all that Obama is saying. How is that so hard to understand?

God save us from Geezer and Gidget!
This country cannot stand more mediocre idiots

"I BEG TO DISAGREE WITH ANY CANDIDATE WHO WOULD SAY WE CAN'T DRILL OUR WAY OUT OF OUR PROBLEMS"

and my favorite:

"we began a nearly $40 BILLION natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independance"

IT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED!!
Wtih federal approval YEARS AWAY, not a single section of teh pipeline has been laid. and thanks to Sarah BRILLIANT negotiation, the State could end up paying the pipeline's contractor $500 Million EVEN IF IT NEVER BREAKS GROUND ON THE PROJECT.

LOL!

dude, you actually made me laugh!

The stupid one here is Palin she thinks she has all the answers geeee I meet him and I can see Russia I know what I am doing like he-- you do lady ....

Apparently some people posting here don't like Couric asking reasonable questions of Palin. Pizza Hut can ask a job applicant if they know how to make pizza dough but the press can't ask a VP candidate how being governor of Alaska qualifies them for the job. Pathetic.

So here's the deal, the more you "pick on" Palin, the deeper you dig you're own grave. .

**********************
Please Katie, what you people don't understand we like Sarah Palins wrappings, just the way she was presented to us. We don't want you disturbing that picture we have of her. We don't want to look inside the package, we don't care what is inside.
We don't care if she is shallow and not a deep thinker or even not very knowledgable, so stop trying to point it out to us.
That is why you have a liberal bias, you are always looking for facts and truth, not things that we care anything about.

I know you probably think you are just trying to have an adult conversation with Sarah, but she clearly can't handle her, so treat her like you would a fragile 6 year old.
We don't want to get to really know her. We like what we see and we dont' want to know anymore about it.

We only want what will reinforce what we already think and believe.

People are so short sighted. Your so fast to attack someone that you show a poor knowledge of our history and how people rise to the top when needed.
I made one trip outside of the USA,I had no formal education, I owned slaves from the age of 11 until my death,I took tincture of opium for a long time, I wanted to avoid war if at all possible but would not be run over by anyone and I am the Father of your Country.

William, are you serious?

no wonder these people support George W Bush.

I loved the picture of little sarah kneeling at the feet of Kissinger. That's what I expected, "poor little girl" overwhelmed by the big bad politicians.

What on earth was McCain thinking or was he thinking at all?

One should not hold talks with ABC News without preconditions (if at all).

THANK YOU JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Once again you prove you JUDGEMENT is horrendous.

Sarah nor her family will ever be the same.

Alaska now is now in the spotlight and the citizens are up in arms

America is groaning of your decision to make her your vp.

Republicans are feverishly trying to cover your ineptness

Democrats are rejoicing yet confused at your every move.

Suspending your campaign - not good
Ending your campaign - SMART (so I guess that will never happen)

Well see you in Mississippi. Be there or be "you"

Kissinger may support unconditional subordinate-level talks with the Iranians, but that is a far cry from Obama's statement that he would be willing to go directly into talks at the presidential level. It is naive to do so without first laying a framework by subordinates. Katie is mixing apples and oranges when she suggests that Palin disagrees with Kissinger.

If you want VP gaffs, go no further than Katie's interview with Biden in which he said FDR went on TV to calm Americans after the 1929 crash, even though Hoover was president at the time and it was pre-TV era. To quote one of the postings above: "Seriously, how in the world does someone with absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE of anything become a VP candidate?" Instead of casting stones at each misstatement of some arcane fact, look instead at the character and judgment of the person. The "gotcha" game being played by the media doesn't serve our republic well. After all, we are selecting leaders, not Jeopardy contestants.

ABC -- Help!!!

Sarah Palin needs a tutorial in US History. Does anyone recall that during the height of the Cold War with the former USSR, Dr. Kissinger was Secretary of State in the Nixon Administration.

Russia war our archenemy, and providing active military aid to the NVC, and otherwise taking every conceivable position to harm our troops and interests around the world. Pres. Nixon and SS Kissinger continued negotiations with the former USSR, and despite the bad blood, threat of war, MAD, etc., we (the US) still participated in a joint space venture with the Soviets.

Yes. We talk to enemies. Yes. We work on projects together. Yes. We do small things to hopefully use diplomacy to build the goodwill essential to getting something, anything, done in our Nation's self-interest.

Sarah Palin is so naive, so scripted, so uneducated, that only people as intellectually inferior to her could possibly believe she has any business participating in these discussions. She could not win a high school debate on foreign policy and history. What a pathetic joke she is.

So, I guess if Sen Obama proposed negotiations with Iran, diplomatic sit downs, and even a joint space mission with Iran for peace, he would be only a naive fool according to Palin, despite that this would be a diplomatic play right of out of one of the most successful diplomatic teams (Nixon/Kissinger) in the history of the US. Many mistakes were made, obviously, but nobody can dispute the progress they (Nixon/Kissinger) made viz China, the USSR, SALT, etc. Somehow the name Palin just does not have the gravitas of some of our country's other major players, Kennedy, Nixon, Kissinger, Truman, Johnson, etc. She is a joke!

Somebody took up for war criminal Kissinger. WOW! Every read or hear "The Trial of Henry Kissinger? It's worth a read or a look at google video, my friend. The man is wanted for murder and can't even land in certain countries (like Chile for example) because he was convicted for WAR CRIMES, nice bloke indeed!!!
