Who's the biggest joke?

by **bedub1** on Thu Sep 20, 2012 11:21 am

After watching all of Mitt rMoney's blunders, I can't help but ask this question.

by **Frigidus** on Thu Sep 20, 2012 11:24 am

Not even close. Palin is up there with Donald Trump and Herman Cain as far as how hilarious their political careers (if they can be called that) are.

by **Woodruff** on Thu Sep 20, 2012 11:29 am

Yep, this one's not even close. Palin wins in a landslide.

I agree "I can see Russia from my back door" is pretty bad. But "My life would have been easier if I was born a Mexican" is pretty fucking stupid. The guy is a joke on a world-wide level. An embarrassment to all Americans.

How can you joke about a nice pair of boobs?

by **koontz1973** on Thu Sep 20, 2012 11:57 am

Out of both of them, the biggest joke must be how did they get so many gullible idiots to vote for them in the first place.

Palin is just funny to watch all the time. Always love to see her on the news over here.

Who voted for Romney.

Romney's a flip-flopper... but he's no more a joke than Kerri or Dukakis.

(Wait... why do all the loser President Wannabe's come from Massachusetts?)

That's not a fair question....because it only exists with the double standard. The reality is that Obama could do the exact same things that either Romney or Palin do and are huge jokes, but if Obama did it, it would not be a joke...

For example, imagine Sarah Palin went on the Jay Leno show, and when Palin was asked if she knew what the national debt was, and she replied "I don't know....2 trillion?", the next day, the media would be all over it, and labeling Palin "unelectable" and a complete dumbass. It would play 24-7, to the point of it being impossible to not hear about how Palin is a hypocrite because she want's to reduce the debt, but has no idea how much the debt is.

Does anyone disagree if that happened, it would turn Palin into an even bigger joke and a ditz?

Is this a mainstream media liberal conspiracy FTW argument?

Maybe PhatScotty is the biggest joke.

LIAR!

Sara Palin never said any such thing.

Tina Fey made that statement in a parody of Sara Palin.

This shows that the biggest joke is ... YOU ... because you can't tell the truth from comic parody.

I also raise a pont of order. "Biggest" needs to be applied to more than two options.

Biden is the biggest joke. Bigger than Carter. Bigger than Qualyle. Bigger than Millard Filmore. Bigger than Alfred E. Newman.

I think Ann Romeny coming out and telling people to stop making fun or her husband and giving him such a hard time is hilarious. Is she going to say that to china? How about the middle east? Is she going to tell Iran that? Stop making fun of my husband!

All I can imagine is the wizard from the Wizard of Oz, when we get's caught behind the curtain. After being caught he exclaims: "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain".

If there wasn't the potential for so much damage to be caused by Romney it was be even more hilarious. Instead it borders on scary how fucking nuts they are.

I said Palin. Romney would be funny if it wasn't so sad/scary that he's already made it this far.

Rmoney's funniest remark was made to College students when he told them if they want to start a business upon graduation to just "borrow the money from your parents."

and Palin did say "I can see Russia from my house" in her interview with Katie Couric. Doh!

I am pretty sure you're mistaken, although I suppose it may not have been that exact quote.
I distinctly remember it being in an interview. I'm quite sure it wasn't Tina Fey.

by **Baron Von PWN** on Fri Sep 21, 2012 12:30 pm

I think the rough quote regarding palin. was in response to a question in which she was asked what her foreign affairs credentials were. Palin's response was something along the lines of you can see Russia from parts of alaska or that Russia was near alaska.

Tina fey then parodied it with the famous "I can see alaska from my house"

at least I'm pretty sure that's how it went down.

That's exactly how it went down. Palin never said "I can see Russia from my house!" and was said by Tina Fey playing Palin.

Sarah Palin wrote:You betcha!

The basis for the line was Governor Palin's September 2008 appearance on ABC News, her first major interview after being tapped as the vice-presidential nominee. During that appearance, interviewer Charles Gibson asked her what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, and she responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

Two days later, on the 2008 season premiere of Saturday Night Live, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler appeared in a sketch portraying Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton, during which Fey spoofed Governor Palin's remark of a few days earlier with the following exchange:

FEY AS PALIN: "You know, Hillary and I don't agree on everything . . ."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: (OVERLAPPING) "Anything. I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy."
FEY AS PALIN: "And I can see Russia from my house."

On a clear day, those on the Alaskan island of Little Diomede can see the Russian island of Big Diomede, located across the International Date Line some two and a half miles away. Given that Big Diomede has no permanent population, the amount of foreign policy experience one can gain from staring at it is debatable. But it's a fact, you can see Russian soil while standing in Alaska.

Also... Captain Kirk never said, "Beam me up Scotty" and Sherlock Holmes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson."

by **Phatscotty** on Fri Sep 21, 2012 1:20 pm

Okay, I see nobody wanted to look under the joke rug with me....

Here is Obama on Dave Letterman last week, saying he doesn't remember how much America's national debt is......

No joking allowed!!!!!!!!

by **oVo** on Fri Sep 21, 2012 1:24 pm

Al Gore never said, "I invented the internet."

by **Phatscotty** on Fri Sep 21, 2012 2:00 pm

...and, it wasn't "we don't need no stinking bahdges!" it was "we don't have to show you any stinking bahdges"

and all she was pointing out was that many people in the lower 48 forget that Alaska is is closer to Russia than Alaska is to the lower 48. It's a completely different geography in Alaska, foreign to people in the lower 48.

I have been waiting a looong time to use the phrase "the lower 48"

Biggest Joke;

1) Palin
2) Phatty
3) Romney

That is in general terms ,though to be fair to the first 2 even in their wildest fantasies I doubt they thought they were fit to be President.
