LETTER: Palin would have fixed spill quickly

[Swede]

Lots of funny replies to this one.

To the editor:

Sarah Palin would have had the Gulf oil spill under control two months ago. The well would have been back in production, the environment cleaned up, punishment meted out, the fisherman back to fishing and tourists back to touristin'.

1. What, would she flip open her skull

and have all the oilfall into that vast void?

[AnArmyVeteran]

23. That was my first thought! :) It's more vast than the Grand Canyon.

2. What a stupid behind thing to write

Palin couldn't clean up a juice spill on a counter.

3. In reality, she would've quit half-way through.

4. That's hilarious--thanks, Swede!

At first I thought it was lampooning Palin, but nooooes--the author is series!1!1 :rofl:

I'm bookmarking the comments to explore further whenever I need a lift. Thanks again.

7. I don't really know if I should be laughing . . .

. . . at the thought of anyone taking Sarah Palin seriously. I find that kind of frightening for real, possibly because there are SO many. :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

21. We can only HOPE it's a short-lived phenomenon

The spoutings of the principals are fun to mock, but the numbers of their followers--the Palinistas, the dittoheads, the Beckistanians, etc.--are disturbing.

We seem to be going through a phase when many seem to have lost their grip on sanity and reality. It's pretty amazing that politics, ideology and bigotry can make so many people so demented.

I think we'll survive. But I can't help wondering if history won't label this "the Loony Era".

[HughBeaumont]

5. Uhhhhhh, if her family is any indication of her "cleaning" abilities . . .

. . . then this opinion is an hour past "delusional steaming pile".

But that goes without saying, doesn't it?

[pnwmom]

6. You can laugh at it, but millions of people would agree with that letter.

And they're all probably regular voters.

[w8liftinglady]

13. well...my county has 55K...and 40K would agree.

sigh.

[pnwmom]

15. You live in Texas, right?

I have some relatives there. It's still mostly Bush country, despite everything.

[w8liftinglady]

17. sigh...yes.On the positive side,Bill White may just beat Perry!

He is magnificent..I met him today....
I can dream..can't I?

[pnwmom]

18. Wouldn't that be something? We'd all celebrate! n/t

8. The BP owned Alaska pipeline started leaking in March 2006

It continues to have leaking issues. The most recent in May of 2010. Looks like the half term governor couldn't handle a much smaller leak in her home state.

[merh]

9. This comment made me laugh out loud.

whywhywhy writes:

I once read that a radical group was promoting a voter literacy test prior to casting a ballot. After reading this letter I can see some validity in that.

You were right there are a lot of funny replies to this letter.

[pnwmom]

12. A literacy test won't help us.

We need to require a sanity test.

[merh]

24. Good point.

But the results would be truly frightening.

[w8liftinglady]

25. LOL...that would be plain scary...

[edbermac]

10. Sarah would have wiggled her nose like Elizabeth Montgomery in Bewitched.

And...PRESTO! Not a drop of oil in sight!

[NC_Nurse]

11. Thanks for that. Many priceless replies...

:-)

[Fuzz]

14. Jesus would have capped it

[Vickers]

16. And she would've shown some cleavage in the process!!!

:eyes:

[ericinne]

19. Reminds me of another tea bagger

Sarah Palin would have had the Gulf oil spill under control two months ago. The well would have been back in production, the environment cleaned up, punishment meted out, the fisherman back to fishing and tourists back to touristin'

Reminds me of a Chuck Norris joke.

[spanone]

20. hey stupid, the fucking well was never in production

[mitchum]

22. I still think that was written in the tradition of Ed Anger and Bob Boudelang

and I'm not an optimist

[upi402]

26. and rainbows would bloom from my bum

:hurts:

[donheld]

27. You mean she would have started to clean it up

and quit half way through
