NEW YORK -- Does vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin consider herself intellectual? You betcha!

"And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on," Palin said in an interview with People magazine. "You can't just go on what is presented you."

.snip.

Palin said if she and husband Todd had had a sixth child, they had already picked a name for a boy joining siblings Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.

"I always wanted a son named Zamboni," she said.

[YOY]

3. I'm sure she is well apt on debating such topics as "Playdoh: Red or Yellow?"

and "Jesus: Blue Eyes or Green?"

[Lefta Dissenter]

4. you've got to be kidding

what the hell is wrong with that woman??? :shrug:

[rateyes]

5. A son named Zamboni?

What does she do, name her children after the places they are conceived? Next thing you'll know she'll want a daughter named "Backseat Ova Buick."

[Dr.Phool]

47. Zamboni Hussein Palin.

:rofl:

[brooklynite]

6. It's true...she can see the Library from her house!

[dweller]

51. and thus, she can measure her

'Eye Cue'.


dp

[Piewhacket]

115. "Eye Cue"???!!!! You are EVIL! Evil evil evil.....

and twisted, bizarre, weird, and cynical...
but in a nice way.

sigh... at last.
i've come home at at last.

[liberal N proud]

8. I want to hear her say inti-lect-you-all

It would be like nucular

[earth mom]

9. This is the funniest thing I've heard all week! Palin is proving to be a huge joke.

:rofl:

p.s. Dupe thread in GD: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4287520

[wordpix]

123. just like her hero, pRes. Dimwit

[Nambe]

10. It is just a mood swing Sarah. Go shoot a moose and get to bed.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Zamboni, rhymes with phony. Yeah, that's a good fit...........

[MurrayDelph]

12. This word she is using

I do not think it means what she think it means.

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. ...from the great movie "Princess Bride"?

My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die

[Tansy_Gold]

36. Inigo

otherwise it would be

"My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to dye."




Sorry.

[unblock]

37. DUzy!!

:rofl:

[Tansy_Gold]

68. It's one of my favorite movies

I would never have thought of the pun if the other poster hadn't misnamed the character.


to a warped mind, some things are obvious.



The very warped,



Tansy Gold

[Demeter]

69. Tansy Gold! What Are You Doing Slumming In Palin Country?

We need the cheer on SMW. What a bloodbath!

And there is PUNishment in store for such colorful language. This is a family website. (Whether it's the Addams or the Mansons, I'm not quite sure yet).

[KatyaR]

86. LOL

:spray:

[intaglio]

113. My partner has pointed out that "Never..."

Never start a land war in Asia is a line from that film

[Tansy_Gold]

118. Indeed I believe it is.

I have the film on VHS. Haven't watched it for a couple of years. I think it's time for a revisit.


Billy Crystal and Carol Kane are the stars.



TG

[greyl]

100. Nice! nt

[Indenturedebtor]

13. I have never heard an actual stupid person say "I'm stupid"

though I've heard some pretty smart people call themselves stupid. Sometimes I guess you're just too stupid to know that your brain doesn't work very well.

[OnyxCollie]

78. Those unaware are unaware they are unaware.

Stupid people are usually overly confident in their abilities. Smart people know the limits of their abilities and may doubt themselves.

[Indenturedebtor]

79. True that! Can't remember that famous quote about the trouble with Republicans

but it goes something like "The trouble with the world is that idiots are cocksure, while intelligent people are unsure." Or something like that.

[Hekate]

14. Wait--is this from The Onion? Because I have tears in my eyes...

:rofl:

Hekate

[vixengrl]

70. My thought, too--somewhere an Onion writer is slamming

his head on a desk, crying, "She beat me to it, damn her, she beat me to it!"


She hath slain satire. ("Long live satire!")

[pitohui]

15. idiots always do

the marvelous thing about being a stupid person is that you literally don't have the mental material to understand just how stupid you really are

think about your pet, how he is utterly convinced that he's smarter than you and that he can outwit you on every conceivable and logical level

and then keep in mind that your pet (or at least my pet) is probably smarter than sarah palin!

it's actually pretty easy for morons to think they're smart because they have no capacity to judge or to see just how much of the world they miss

[lonestarnot]

18. And I have a pet slug!

:woohoo:

[louis-t]

16. Another lame attempt at humor?

Keep yer day job, stupid.

[HereSince1628]

17. I think I see an emerging pattern . . .

Half my first year classes think they are intellectual. They are generally the half that fails.

We need comparative data. Why not find another person who was a sportscaster and has and interest in politics?

I nominate we evaluate the intellectualism of Palin with Keith O. Maybe she would agree to doing that on his show!?

[EFerrari]

19. She reminds me of the compulsive liar on SNL.

"And then I won an Olympic Gold Medal, yeah."

[HereSince1628]

24. Fer sure, you betcha! n/t

[Colorado Liberal]

58. And then I went home to my wife, Morgan Fairchild

...yeah, that's the ticket!

[Posteritatis]

23. Funny how that works, isn't it

My teaching experience so far's mainly limited to TAing and some subbing, but I always noticed the ones who ostentatiously self-identify as Thinkers(tm) tend to be the ones who flame out come the first midterm. I'm assuming it stops holding true so universally after awhile, but after a little while there's at least the chance that you'll have earned the term.

(What's the significance of your username, by the way? My inner historian's curiosity is piqued.)

[HereSince1628]

28. Descendant of early colonial family, you've probably heard of my crazy cousin Zelda

Fitzgerald. Based on personal observations, I'm pretty sure her condition is heritable.

[Endangered Specie]

20. well, she is smarter than her oldest daughter...

[Zambero]

22. Then Minnie Pearl was a Rhodes Scholar!

BTW, My great-grandmother's maiden name was Zamboni. 5 weird kids' names in one family sounds like a good place to stop!

[crispini]

25. zamboni..WTF

[Lugnut]

26. Yo Sarah!

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

27. lolololololololololol Alrighty then

lolololololol

[Kalifornia.Kid]

29. As long as Starbucks doesn't run out of cups - you betcha you'll never run out of smarts.

"And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on," Palin said in an interview with People magazine. "You can't just go on what is presented you."

[The Backlash Cometh]

30. Oh dear.

[llmart]

31. This is similiar.....

to her clearing herself of any wrongdoing in Troopergate. The narcissisctic idiot thinks if she says so, it's true.

I have a bird sitting on my birdbath right now who's smarter than this dimwit.

[Politicalboi]

32. But she still hasn't

Read the Constitution on what a VP does.

[D23MIURG23]

33. She's like old faithful.

Every 90 minutes or so there is another giant explosion of bullshit.

As beauty contestants go I think she is actually on the dumber end.

[YDogg]

34. good lord

[Sanity Claws]

35. "I always wanted a son named Zamboni," she said.

With that line, I was sure this article was a joke.
It's not.

Sarah is a satarist's dream.

[VaYallaDawg]

38. The world knows that Sarah is phony

But it’s still fun to watch the baloney
So now she chimes in
Her new next of kin
Is gonna be known as Zamboni

[FatDave]

39. Governor, I am an intellectual.

My wife is an intellectual. My family and friends are all intellectuals. You, madam, are no intellectual.

[no limit]

40. Zamboni? Is she serious? I can't tell.

[unblock]

41. poor kid. everybody knows "zamboni" is a girl's name

:eyes:

[sofa king]

42. She is special and unique....

That and the other identifiable criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which both Palin and the President seem to share in addition to their towering "intellects," can be found here.

[gingersnaps1]

43. OMG!!! It's real

[faulknercindy]

44. Moron Moron Moron

How does anybody listen to that with a straight face.

[ElboRuum]

55. I'm not sure anyone DID listen to that with a straight face.

[TBF]

45. Well in comparison to Joe the Plumber...

nah, I take that back. ;)

[mahina]

46. O= Plato's Republic, P="Walter, the Farting Dog"

[Porschenut1066]

48. As a Neocon she "must be" part of the 'Intellectual elite" and so

is expected to 'Rule" over the ignorant masses like a royal without the Nobles oblige(SP) (the obligation to look after and treat your subjects well) For Neocons it does not matter how really stupid they are they still think they know all the answers.

[9thkvius]

49. Wow - who needs drugs when you have stuff like this?

I mean, I can't imagine anything my brain could come up with in any sort of chemically induced state that could top that article.

[wordpix]

124. well I'm still LOL & it's been several minutes...

[ryanmuegge]

50. Yet she still tries to exploit the false dichotomy of intellectual vs. regular hockey mom.

[harmonicon]

52. this has to be satire

[ElboRuum]

53. What? Because she wears glasses?

:eyes:

[ElboRuum]

54. Full name: Zamboni Robocop Trebuchet Geometry Palin.

Only Trebuchet is pronounced "tree bucket".

[terrya]

56. And I consider myself the winner of this year's Mr. Olympia contest.

Of course, that's a complete lie as well.

[formercia]

57. Everything is relative.

It all depends who you hang with. Doesn't say much for her crowd.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King.

[PfcHammer]

59. I can haz brain cell?

:rofl:

[northofdenali]

64. DUzy!

:rofl:

Edited to add:

[ElboRuum]

66. Not after I sees wot u do wit all teh othurs.

[baldguy]

60. The Onion invades the MSM.

I bet she considers herself a CHristian & and American too.

[damntexdem]

61. Well, she IS ineffectual.

Oh! What? Intellectual? LOL!!!

[nickgutierrez]

62. Of course she is.

How else do you think she can read all of the newspapers?

[ElboRuum]

63. I consider myself to be Zarthan Olfactory.

I consider myself to be Zarthan Olfactory, Master of the Universe and inventor of air.

Here is my brother, Sleep Apnea, God of Canned Hash and Rubber Bands.

My sister over here, Three Hole Punch, owns the royalty rights to the prefix giga, and made a fortune when hard drives finally got enough capacity.

My uncle, Superfluous Rex, has been the leader of several extra-galactic dynasties and owns a chain of extra-galactic-dynasty-themed restaurants called "Rex's Extra-Galactic Dynasty." Best ribs in all of the Local Group. Most of the recipes were created by my aunt, Extraneous Battlescar, Overlord of the Budsari Hyperplane, Scourge of The Outer Realms, Destroyer of Suns. Try the Flayed-Alive Quesadillas. They're quite special, and quite spicy.

My father, Aegis Erstwhile Olfactory, has ascended to a higher plane of existence and doesn't get back much, so we really don't know what he's been up to lately.

[ShortnFiery]

65. WTF?!? Classifies newspapers that she reads as "All of them."

:crazy:

[TankLV]

121. Wow - you got a first pick of "zamboni" and "my other brother zamboni" paliln!

Now that's a news coup!

I guess the names "purple" and "crotch rocket" were already taken...

[Overseas]

67. I guess she's just forgotten more than she ever read? //nt

[endarkenment]

71. Has anyone asked her what was the last book (besides the bible) she read?

My guess: a) 'I'll get rate back ta ya on that'; or b) one of the left behind series.

[Strathos]

72. Really? Well, she's the only one

I would never consider her anything near intellectual. I'm not an "intellectual" but at least I can spot 'em. LOL

[mnhtnbb]

73. She has no idea what an idiot she is, does she?

[mnhtnbb]

74. Of course not, she's a Republican. Self-awareness is not high

on their list of accomplishments.

[AKing]

75. deleted

[KamaAina]

76. Well, I consider myself musically talented

despite having been politely but firmly asked to leave fourth-grade band, so I guess that means I can sell out Giants Stadium, right? :eyes:

[melody]

77. I consider myself to be Bill Gates

I didn't realize it was like a magic deal.

[LynnTheDem]

80. ROTFLMAO!!!!

That's FUNNY!!!

:rofl:

[dipsydoodle]

81. I think she might have meant

ineffectual but then English isn't her strongest point.

She also said the reason she has so many babies is that her and Todd don't believe in him using condominiums.

[truthisfreedom]

82. If she's intellectual,

Paris Hilton is the reincarnation of Einstein.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

83. She also considers "Family Circus" as heavy reading.

[bobd0]

84. Why not Saks Fifth Avenue Palin, or Neiman Marcus Palin?

At least those names would have more basis in reality than hockey related names for the child of a "hockey mom" that definitely isn't.

[KatyaR]

85. Excuse me for a minute . . .

I have to go beat my head against the wall until it bleeds and my brain spills out onto the floor. :banghead:

OMG, we are a country of idiots . . . .

[clear eye]

87. Must be the glasses n/t

[appleannie1]

88. She read "My Pet Goat" too and actually held it right side up.

[greyl]

102. ot: The Pet Goat was a story in a text book, and the upside-down pic was P.shopped.

[Aristus]

Who has the Captain Picard "WTF IS this shit?!" pic?

[Piewhacket]

92. No, compared to a Republican.

[Generator]

93. And I consider myself a playboy centerfold

It's mind over matter.

[Cass]

94. Does she think this is a juicy little pearl of wisdom?

"And you have to be up on not only current events, but you have to understand the foundation of the issues that you're working on," Palin said in an interview with People magazine. "You can't just go on what is presented you."

Uh, no shit, Sherlock.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

105. What?

Sarah thinks she is intellectual? Yeah, well, some auditioners for American Idol think they can actually sing, too.

[sakabatou]

117. ....

[Zavulon]

119. She probably IS an intellectual.

I base this on the fact that every person I've ever met who calls himself or herself an intellectual is a fucking idiot. I'd expect the same thing from Caribou Barbie.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

120. No, Sarah dear...You're ineffectual.
