Rep. Barney Frank and Sarah Palin at the winter Gridiron Club dinner Below, Todd Palin's cummerbund is modeled after the Alaskan flag. Palin faces 'death panel' and leaves 'em laughing GRIDIRON CLUB | She lightheartedly roasts journalists at their annual dinner WASHINGTON -- "Sometimes you just got to trust your instincts. And when you don't, you end up in places like this," joked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at the Gridiron Club winter dinner. She was speaking to an unfamiliar audience Saturday night -- an exclusive gathering of journalists. "At least now I can put a face to all the newspapers that I do read," Palin continued, spoofing that Katie Couric question to her during the campaign about what she reads. Palin mocked herself -- and the reporters -- all in the spirit of the evening, which called for heavy doses of self-deprecating humor and gentle barbs: "It's good to be here though, really, in front of this audience of leading journalists and intellectuals, or as I like to call it, a death panel." Palin shared the bill at the black-tie dinner of the 124-year old club with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.). She was joined by her husband, Todd Palin, and her parents. Palin -- a potential 2012 presidential candidate -- is touring the nation promoting her memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life. Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, just published a biography titled Barney Frank: The Story of America's Only Left-Handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman. At the reception, Palin mingled and posed for pictures. She told me, when I asked, that her purse was made from otter. Todd Palin explained to me his cummerbund was based on the Big Dipper and North Star in the Alaskan flag. Palin's speech was loaded with zingers -- aimed at her and the journalists. Palin, John McCain's running mate, had some interesting help in crafting her speech, enlisting Eric Schnure, a former speechwriter for former Vice President Al Gore. Other good Palin lines: • She almost had another title for her book. "Somebody suggested that I go with How to Look Like a Million Bucks for Only $150,000. Todd liked The Audacity of North Slope. I considered not having a title at all. I said it before, but some of the Beltway Boys just don't get it: that you don't need a title to make an impact." That was a dig at critics who slammed her for quitting as Alaska governor. • Her book did not have an index, so she made one up: "So under A, we have Alaska, media not understanding, pages 1 through 432. Under B. Biased media; pages 1 though 432. And under C, conservative media, got to see acknowledgments for that." • After her book came out, a cadre of former McCain staffers trashed Palin. Without using his name, she slammed Steve Schmidt, McCain's bald campaign manager. "Normally the Democrat speaker would deliver a speech after me. But instead, I hear the McCain campaign staff asked if they could use that time for a rebuttal. . . . Suffice it to say, that if ever I need a bald campaign manager, it appears all that I am left with is James Carville." • On Vice President Biden: "I can't help think of what might have been. I can be the vice president overseeing the signing of bail-out checks and Joe Biden could be on the road selling his new book, Going Rogaine." • Before Frank spoke, the Gridiron chorus sang a song about Frank to the tune of "We Three Kings." Retorted Frank, "I'm very flattered to be the second Jew to have that tune dedicated to."

#74. To: mumbling MORON aka Moderate Mammal (#72)
LMAOAY!!!!! What's the matter you simpering pu$$y? Don't you like being treated like you treat everyone else a$$wipe? Too F ing bad. "mumbling moron is not what he pretends to be. "He" is a total fraud, whose entire purpose is to tarnish all of us opponents of the current invasion of illegal aliens. He is nothing but a liar and a fraud, who is working FOR illegal aliens and their supporters."

What's the matter you simpering pu$$y? Don't you like being treated like you treat everyone else a$$wipe? http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/002931.html Hugely Pro-Illegal Columnist Ruben Navarrette Endorses Palin By Digger There's something dirty going on and everyone is ignoring it, except me it seems. That is the stance of Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin on illegal immigration. Now we get word in this latest column by Ruben Navarette Jr. - a champion of illegal aliens in this country who is fresh off of ranting and raving about how good the child of illegal aliens did in the Olympics - to bring us this piece on how Palin is a good choice for the Republican Party. The endorsement of someone who has involved himself so much in pushing the illegal alien agenda for so many years and now endorses Palin should send up red flags for anyone who truly cares about this issue. In the piece he basically reiterates the same thing others have been saying, but I believe there is an ulterior motive for someone who has championed for illegal aliens for so long. His piece is very well written to obscure this fact though and it makes me even question her stance on illegal immigration even more. Just as an example of the pro-illegal propaganda Navarrette puts out, just have a read of this piece where he gives illegal alien supporters a little advice on how they can win the battle for America. Oh, there is plenty to criticize in the most recent round of immigration raids, starting with the fact that employers never seem to get punished as severely and as publicly as workers do – at least not by immigration officials. (There is always the hope that other government agencies – such as the U.S. Labor Department or even the Internal Revenue Service – will look at a case and mete out their own brand of justice.) Or the fact that those who are apprehended often are herded like cattle and charged with heavy crimes such as identity theft. Or the fact that, lacking access to counsel, many plead guilty in proceedings they don't even understand, and end up in prison rather than simply being deported as they typically have been. "The fact" that illegal aliens are herded like cattle? Really?

What's the matter you simpering pu$$y? Don't you like being treated like you treat everyone else a$$wipe? http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2008/10/23/its-official-palin-supports-path-to-citizenship/ It’s Official: Palin Supports “Path To Citizenship” In my piece on Sarah Palin’s immigration policy I made the points that she hasn’t thought and/or doesn’t care that much about the issue; and if she happens to have good instincts, they aren’t going to come out as McCain’s running mate or vice president. Both of these assertions came to fruition in a recent interview with Univision. When asked how many “undocmented immigrants” were in her state, she replied “I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s a good question.” As for amnesty, she says she’s against it; but qualifies that she’s only against “total amnesty.” One thing she is against without qualifications is deportations, There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that’s not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration. So what’s her alternative between “total amnesty” and deportations. If you guessed, “attrition through enforcement,” you’re wrong. Instead when she is asked “so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?” She responded, I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country. In my article, I got a bit of grief about calling Palin “a pig in a poke—despite the lipstick.” Well, the gender sensitive conservatives can be happy to know that there is no pig in the poke. Her amnesty cat is out of the bag.
bears repeating .... "mumbling moron is not what he pretends to be. "He" is a total fraud, whose entire purpose is to tarnish all of us opponents of the current invasion of illegal aliens. He is nothing but a liar and a fraud, who is working FOR illegal aliens and their supporters."

http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2008/09/16/mccain-on-univision-he-will-work-for-amnesty-starting-the-first-day/ McCain on Univision: He Will Work for Amnesty Starting “The First Day” John McCain was interviewed on Sept. 15 by the Hispanic broadcaster Jorge Ramos, and the Senator let a few cats out of the bag, like his intention of engineering a massive amnesty beginning on the first day of his Presidency. Apparently the idea that he “got” voter objections for rewarding lawbreaking foreigners doesn’t translate well into Spanish. The dialogue below is from page three of the Univision transcript, which begins here, Alone with John McCain. Senator, the last time we talk, you told us that it would take a year or two to secure the border, and then you said we can address the other part of it. Would that include massive legalization for millions of undocumented immigrants in this country? I think it means that we go through a step by step process of allowing people to apply and achieve citizenship in this country, of course. But, I want to point out again; it’s a little more complicated. It goes against the platform of your party, by the way, because they are against the legalization of millions of undocumented immigrants. My position is very clear, and that was part of our proposal, that I took up twice. By the way, Senator Obama tried to kill it, because he proposed an amendment that would have done away with any temporary worker program. So, there is a huge difference there. So, what we need to do is take the two million according to (Michael) Chertoff, that have broken laws in our country, and deport or imprison them. They are law breakers. Other people who have come here and have been here for a period of time and are law abiding citizens and are willing to go through a certain process, of course, there are not twelve million pairs of handcuffs in America. So, we can together, republicans and democrats, work out this issue, provide a path to citizenship, on the principle that they do not take any priority over anyone who came to this country legally, or waited legally. And, of course they should pay a fine, because they acted illegally. But, our heritage, the heritage of this country, is people who have come to this country for a better life, and as I said at the Convention, these are God’s children and it will be done in a humane and compassionate fashion. Senator Barack Obama told us in an interview that he would present a comprehensive immigration reform to congress during the first year. Could you match that? Sure, I would do it in the first day, but I was the one who led, I was the one who led with Senator (Ted) Kennedy, a great political risk to myself. Senator Obama tried to kill it, because he was doing what the unions wanted. The unions in America do not want a temporary worker program, so Senator Obama came to the floor and had an amendment that would have basically killed immigration reform, because it was a fragile coalition between republicans and democrats. So, don’t let Senator Obama get away with saying that he supports comprehensive reform, when he tried to kill it.
I'm not supporting another Bubba,period. If that's my only choice,I won't vote or will do another write-in vote.
Saving America is not a Junior HS prom queen contest. Ok,so you hate her because she is an attractive woman.
You have serious problems with attractive women,don't you? You can't make a post about Palin without writing "beauty queen" in it somewhere. Here is a hint for you. Being attractive and female no more disqualifies a candidate for president than being unattractive and male does qualifify a candidate. Maybe you would prefer Lady Lindsey Graham as a candidate?
Yea, that must be it.
Are you really so child-like (retarded) that you think a VP candidate even HAS a position on anything? Their job is to parrot the positions of the presidential candidate.
Yes, no substance to her beliefs. She is disqualifies because she supports everyone but Americans. Playing the bigot card is beneath you.
Since the VP would be President if case of...Yes, we should know all her positions.
Yea, that must be it. Yeah,I think it is. You just use her VP stands as an excuse. There is no way you can possibly be stupid enough to think or expect a VP candidate to state ANY positions in public that disagree with those of the top of the ticket. The fact that you can't write her name without adding the words "beauty queen" is the dead giveaway.
You have no freaking idea what her beliefs are on this issue. All you know is what she said while following the script as a VP candidate. On top of that,her being the Governor of Alaska at the time and having lived in Alaska her whole life made her the only governor with no illegal alien problem. I can guarantee you that there are no illegals camped out in gullies in Alaska or hanging around outside building supply stores waiting to pick up tax free jobs. Now that she has traveled around the rest of the states during the campaign trip and now the book tour,I suspect she has a MUCH better understanding of the issue than she had before. Not that either one of us know for sure because as far as I know,she hasn't said one word about it either way since the campaign ended. If it were JUST about illegal aliens and not her appearance and gender,you would be willing to wait until she stood on her own feet and made her own statements on illegal aliens before you started jumping down her throat. Who knows,once she does I may join you in slamming her? Being pro-amnesty is a deal-breaker for me,too. I'm just willing to wait until I see and hear her say she is pro-amnesty now that she is on her own before I pass judgment. Until that time,she remains the sole acceptable potential candidate for 2012.
Since the VP would be President if case of...Yes, we should know all her positions. ROFLMAO!
Sarah Palin: No, I do not. I do not. What is it about NO that you do not understand, muttering moron?
What's the difference between Racism_Boot's mouth and anal pore? There isn't any, they both spew gas and feces.
See a psychiatrist before you hurt yourself, moron!

As to that Bonny Fwank photo - he's just gotta be thinking "MEOW!"

Esse Quam Videri.
Umm, okay... The VP as we all know would become President in case of the Presidents incapacitation. Therefore the VP's stand on issues is important. Of course, since McCain is already a corpse....
Yet he us still walking around and causing trouble. He even has his double-breasted fat daughter running around and causing trouble.
I suppose the millions who've driven hundreds on miles to see her at crowded venues, her million books sold and counting in two weeks, and all who voted for the slimy McStain JUST to give Palin a shot at the Federal level represents "no inspiration" in your Book of Dead. Here's something I KNOW you've NEVER considered; The reptilian CFR-McStain people chose Palin because they thought she'd fall flat on her face and embarrass "the conservative base," Christians, and Reaganites. Just the opposite occurred. The Plan was that McStain was a patsy and would NOT win. DUH. It's called The Fix (see 1992 for precedence.) Funny thing ALMOST happened; He almost won BECAUSE OF Palin.
While you're sulking and hoping to exhume Eisenhower and his Operation Wetback. NOT happening. OPTION "A" is not available. Promising a fictional or virtual undefined "path" is just savvy politics. When you quote Palin on some specifics, THEN take of "treason." Until then, bitch and moan about 0bama (unless in your opinion he's NOT worth referring to as a "f***ing traitor.")
No wonder the Republic is falling. Writing in a billion-to-one shot like Paul (who bailed out then was too cowardly to run as an Indy) or Tancredo (who dropped out), or your other choice IS less probable a winner than a Lottery Ticket." You just have problems dealing with reality.
RAMOS: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants? PALIN: No, I do not. I do not. Try hosing down the beer goggles next time, Magoo.
If he's pretending to have a grasp of reality, he's failed miserably.
But...There are soooo many Bubbas left to run. Wouldn't five in a row be really cool? ;-) There's always Daddy Jeb...Prescott (naah - they're saving him for 2020)...Biden (should God-forbid something "happen",) OR Hitlery should she just challenge the current Kenyan Bubba outright. Wheeee!!
Pete: "Ok,so you hate her because she is an attractive woman." BU-STED.
Exactamundo.
Yes, a "path to citizenship" is a real grasp on reality. You support Palin, you support illegals.
LOL! That's a PERFECT illustration of YOUR uniformly spit flecked, insane, and stupid posts keith! "LMAOAY!!!!! What's the matter you simpering pu$$y?

Everyone on the planet has a path to citizenship here in the US. Post the path that Sarah has in mind for undocumented. Can anyone post the path?
----------------------------------------------------------- Post the path that Sarah has in mind for undocumented. Can anyone post the path? There you go asking the retarded Mohammed Mammal to document his insane allegations! You're not playing fair! You deserve 30 lashes with a saliva- soaked burqa.

Can ANYONE name a group of people that don't have a path to US Citizenship? Anyone?
----------------------------------------------------------- Sure. White Europeans.
Better stop buying your Abilify from those Canadian pharmacies advertised in spam emails - they're ripping you off big-time. You're probably getting powdered drywall rather than the medicine you need.
What's the difference between Sarah Palin's mouth and other parts of her body? Only some of the things that don't come out of her mouth are retarded.
