Sarah Palin

#23 Sarah Palin and First Dude Todd have close ties to the Alaskan Independence Party, which seeks to secede from the United States.

No matter how much they try to hide it, Sarah Palin and her hubby Todd can’t shake the fact that they have courted the Alaskan Independent Party (AIP) for many years. Todd himself was a member from 1995–2002 (with a brief hiatus in 2000). As for Sarah, she addressed the Party’s convention in 2000, and [...]

#2 Radio talk show host Stephanie Miller dubbed Sarah Palin “Caribou Barbie”—and the name has stuck.

Mattel may not be thrilled, and Santa Claus even less so, but the spectre of our svelte Sarah Palin armed to slaughter Old St. Nick’s reindeer is titillating disturbed Americans from Nome to New York City.
Now this is where all you Caribou Barbie fans proclaim loudly, “But I didn’t know caribou was the NRA code [...]

#4 In 2007 Sarah Palin offered $150 to every hunter who hacked off the left foreleg of a wolf shot from a plane.

The Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972 made aerial wolf hunting illegal for hunters—spoilsports! But don’t get your camouflage panties in a bunch, there’s a loophole. State governments can give out permits to state employees or licensed individuals for the sake of protecting “land, water, wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals, human life, or crops.”
Where There’s a [...]

#12 According to an aide, Sarah Palin once dressed as Tina Fey for Halloween.

. . . And Tina Fey donned her signature specs and an updo and nailed Sarah Palin in a scathingly funny SNL season-opeining skit alongside comedy cohort Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. Can we say the two were separated at birth? Here’s a look at how these women stack up:
Tina Fey: Wrote and anchored SNL’s [...]

#65 In 2005, Sarah Palin completed Humpy’s Anchorage Marathon in 3:59:36.

Forget running the road to the White House, this frigid veep candidate made a mad dash across the frozen tundra in a marathon with runners that should be more concerned about hypothermia than dehydration. She clocked a fast enough time on the chilly course to rank fourteenth among women, fourth in her age group, and [...]

#77 Sarah Palin’s best girlfriends, known as the Elite 6, are divided on whether to vote for her—or not.

Even Palin’s buddies aren’t so sure about her as a candidate for vice president. Her group of friends, who refer to themselves as the “Elite 6,” met each other at aerobics classes.
“And we just kinda bonded and did our little workouts together, and after workouts, sometimes we’d go and have chocolate and coffee or soda,” [...]

#75 As VP on the Republican ticket, Sarah Palin is expected to help convince those 18 million disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters to switch to the McCain camp.

Sarah Says
“. . . Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America, but it turns out the women of America aren’t finished yet and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all.”
—Sarah Palin
If Sarah does indeed help McCain attract some embittered Hillary supporters, it could spell victory for [...]

#70 In her much-anticipated interview with Charlie Gibson on ABC News, Palin obviously stumbled when he asked her about the “Bush Doctrine,” leading many pundits to speculate that she didn’t understand the question.

The Who Doctrine?
When Charles Gibson of ABC asked Sarah Palin how she felt about the “Bush Doctrine,” our hockey mom proved a little out of her element.
“In what respect, Charlie?”
Translation: What is the Bush Doctrine? S—t, I hope he doesn’t notice that I have no f—king clue what he is talking about! Maybe if I [...]

#69 Sarah Palin and Joe Biden agree that Barack Obama should have chosen Hillary Clinton as his runningmate.

Rivals Sarah Palin and Joe Biden have at least one thing in common: They both think that Barack Obama regrets not having picked Hillary for his runningmate.
This shared opinion of the opposing VP candidates, however unlikely, is predictably the last we’ll see during this election. Why? Because the two opponents could not be more different. [...]

#58 When questioned about her knowledge of foreign affairs, Palin notes that her experience with Russia is unique. So unique, in fact, that only Eskimos and polar bear can claim a closer relationship.

Palin’s supporters note that Alaska’s “proximity” to Russia has given her unique experience on foreign affairs. No less than Cindy McCain states that, “Remember that Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia.” Thanks for clearing that up, Cindy. Now go back to your sorority house and spend some “quality time” with the [...]
