Palinweek begins

“If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat? I always remind people from outside our state that there’s plenty of room for all Alaska’s animals - right next to the mashed potatoes.”

Ahahahahahaha, that dry dry wit. You can just tell she was hangin out with Safire and Buckley and George Will.

Some days I can't wait til 2012. (And no, I don't mean that wretched movie, which isn't half as entertaining as a national election with Sarah Palin in it.)

I especially love that she calls that "my philosophy" as if she made up that old joke.

She gets all of her philosophy from Henny Youngman:

My family is frugal. We clip coupons. We shop at Costco. I'll buy anything marked down. Last year I bought an escalator.

*rimshot*

Year before that I bought a bridge to nowhere. Hey, it was on sale!

What I love about Sarah Palin is that she actually thinks it's a good idea for a political candidate to print this shit. She has no internal controls that tell her what she should say among friends and what she should publish in a book. (I'm still hoping for a joke about planting a watermelon patch on the White House South Lawn.)

It's going to make this week a lot of fun, watching the firestorm of factification and all the GOP pundits* tripping over each other to distance themselves from her first and loudest. Makes a nice break from the state budget woes and Afhganistan.

*Well, the halfway rational ones. Rush Limbaugh called it "truly one of the most substantive policy books I've read." No further comment needed, there.

Palin was misquoted a lot during the campaign. If anyone wants their current 'quotes' believed by fair-minded people, they'd better link to the original.

Nah, that would be too gay.
