Maybe, maybe not. Half the population still thinks she said "I can see Russia from my house", when in fact it was Tina Fey of SNL who said it.

How quickly the world forgets. She DID say that. Tina Fey also did in the sketch that highlighted the bimbo's utter stupidity.

 

[MtnMax/Magniac]

Sorry, Pete. FALSE, even verified by left-leaniing snopes. She DID say that Siberia, which is part of Russia, can be seen from one of the Aleutian Islands, which is true.
Tina Fey did a hatchet job on her on SNL, which was magnified by the media.

Ooooo, I'm BURNED!
(Yes, I did really believe it too.)

She's still a total ditz.

"My sympathies go out to the unfortunate citizens of Ebola"

After many searches, only found that quote on a couple of spoof pages, generating a lot of comments on twitter & facebook. Another example of misinformation touted as truth.

BTW, she would never get my vote, but I get weary of all conservatives berated for mis-statements, whether they actually made them or not, when our illustrious President (who campaigned in 57 states) and VP Biden (too many gaffes to enumerate) get a pass.

It's just right over the border." --Sarah Palin, explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008 (Watch video clip)

2. "Mr. President, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke." --Sarah Palin, on how President Obama should deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, CPAC speech, March 8, 2014

3. "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." –-Sarah Palin, in a message posted on Facebook about Obama's health care plan, Aug. 7, 2009

4. "All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008 (Watch video clip)

5. "Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008 (Watch video clip)

6. "'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!'" --a Tweet sent by Sarah Palin in response to being ridiculed for inventing the word "refudiate," proudly mistaking her illiteracy for literary genius, July 18, 2010

7. "He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin, botching the history of Paul Revere's midnight ride, June 3, 2011

9. "We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" --Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010

10. "Ohh, good, thank you, yes." --Sarah Palin, after a notorious Canadian prank caller, posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy, complimented her on the documentary about her life, Hustler's "Nailin Paylin," Nov. 1, 2008 (Read more about the prank call, watch the video and see the transcript)

[HyperPete]

OK, some of them are real winners too.

But you have to acknowledge that all politicians are corrupt imbeciles, or they would not be politicians in the first place. As for Biden, I think senility plays a role too.

 

[MtnMax/Magniac]

We can certainly agree on that. Anyone really qualified for the job of President is smart enough to not want the job.

 

[forestdaledave]

And oh yeah, I forgot to mention -
She is also compassionate, and keenly interested in world politics and current affairs. She was recently quoted as saying on a late night talk show.....
"My sympathies go out to the unfortunate citizens of Ebola"

simply amazing, I say, amazing.

 

[MtnMax/Magniac]

simply amazing, I say, amazing.

That's good, Dave, just pick the so-called "quote" you like, and ignore the rest of the thread.
