I'm sure that you will, but it didn't include a "death panel" in the first place.

Kind of like how some posters here give Palin "credit" for her support of drilling in ANWR and think that that is the same issue as the all Alaska natural gas pipeline that she supported when she was running for office. Now all we've got is a multi million deal with Canada (and most of the jobs going to Canadian citizens) and no lower 48 market for the gas. Good thing Hugo Chavez will probably help out our bush residents with fuel costs yet again this coming winter; sure would be nice if some of that natural gas could eventually play a role in allowing people to keep living out in the more remote villages.

Palin's bright idea was to relocate them to the valley. Everyone in Alaska knows how that has worked out for those who have relocated....

Along with the protests taking place in the Town Hall's.

Should be an interesting evolution and outcome.

Aftermath should be entertaining too!

So you are crediting the former governor of Alaska with the boorish behavior in the Town Halls? I think that started before the FB remarks "flew from her fingertips".

Oh no, I can already hear the speech in my head if she runs for office again. "As an outsider, I stepped up to Obama and his health care plan and to all those others in D.C. and said, 'No to your death panels!' And I said, 'No, you can't kill my baby'! I'm the barracuda!"

Nope, I'm adding them together.

BTW, didn't realize you spoke for all of Alaska, must be smaller than I understood it to be.

You auditioning to help write her speeches? Drop the last sentence and I think you have the start of a resume.

*L* It's actually funny that you said that because on the first go around, I didn't include the barracuda part. And then I thought, "What the heck. Go all out! Be mavericky!"

I must have missed the part where I said that I spoke for all Alaskans. I certainly don't speak for Ray, who continues to lust after the former gov. no matter how many times his poor wife whacks him over the head with a frying pan every time she catches him looking at photochopped quasi Palin porn on the 'net.

Nonetheless, the lady's approval rating here has crashed and burned. The majority see her as a quitter.

Helenjen would be a great speechwriter but the Palien would probably have a lot of trouble with anything that made sense.
