John Kerry: ‘Too Bad’ Palin Didn’t Go Missing
It is obvious that Lurch knows the only way for him to get any media attention is to mention Sarah Palin’s name. The sad thing is that if John Kerry went missing, who would really notice?
U.S. Sen. John Kerry must have been channeling his inner Letterman yesterday.
The Bay State senator was telling a group of business and civic leaders in town at his invitation about the “bizarre’’ tale of how South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford had “disappeared for four days’’ and claimed to be hiking along the Appalachian Trail, but no one was really certain of his whereabouts.
“Too bad,’’ Kerry said, “if a governor had to go missing it couldn’t have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin.’’
The Democratic-centric crowd laughed.
Of course, Kerry couldn’t know that 24-hours later the Sanford story would get even stranger when the Republican governor confessed he had actually been in Argentina over Father’s Day weekend – a long, long way from the Appalachian Trail – and with his paramour, no less.
So if Palin is keeping count of potential GOP presidential rivals, well, another one just bit the dust.
Kerry and David Letterman will just have to cope with that.
Rush Limbaugh On Un-American Activities
Say, folks: we have a new definition of what constitutes “un-American” behavior from the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Speaking at Saint Anthony’s Church in San Francisco before a group of immigrants (legal and illegal), Speaker Pelosi took aim at Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
She accused them of kicking in doors in the middle of the night in order to send parents away from their children. “It must be stopped… what value system is that? I think it’s un-American,” she said. But she did have kind words for the immigrants in the audience — including those here illegally. They are “very, very patriotic,” because they are taking responsibility “for our country’s future.”
Now, I know nany of you find this sickening. You wonder why those who enforce our laws are called “un-American,” while those who break the law are called patriots. You remember Democrats like Dick Durbin and John Murtha comparing our military to Nazis and falsely accusing them of murder. You remember John Kerry accusing our troops of atrocities they did not commit — yet years later he’s elevated to the status of “war hero.”
And now, government policy calls for the irresponsible to be bailed out by the responsible; achievers to be punished while losers are rewarded. Tax cheats run government agencies, while the House speaker attacks those who put their lives on the line defending our borders.
What you are witnessing is liberalism on parade; unplugged. You see an America… 180 degrees out of phase. Some of you voted for it — you should be ashamed.
Sarah Palin Takes Her Cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz and Onions
Sarah once again proves that she is one of us! She knows how to order a Philly Cheesesteak. No Swiss cheese for her and I’ll bet she didn’t try to eat it with a fork either.
Sarah Palin Likes Her Cheesesteak ‘With’
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin takes her cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz and onions.
The Republican vice presidential candidate made a brief campaign stop at Tony Luke’s steak shop in South Philadelphia on Saturday evening. Wearing jeans and a beige raincoat, Palin greeted curious
onlookers, signed autographs and posed for pictures before ordering two steaks to go.“Sarah, your steak is ready,” a cashier said over the loudspeaker a few minutes after she ordered.
As dozens of onlookers crowded around her, Palin headed back to the window to pick up the order. The cashier told her the order was on the house, so Palin tossed her cash into a donation jar outside
the window. A smiling Palin signed autographs on scraps of paper at the window while she waited.“Thank you so much for letting me stop in,” she said before picking up the bags and heading back to her SUV with 14-year-old daughter Willow at her side.
Ordering cheesesteaks at a Philadelphia steak shop is a longtime tradition in the City of Brotherly Love, where the sandwich is a cultural icon.
Palin said she thinks Arizona Sen. John McCain was “awesome” and “absolutely on his game” in Friday night’s presidential debate with Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. Both candidates have been
campaigning heavily in Pennsylvania, expected to be a key battleground in the November election.One undecided voter at Saturday’s stop said she was charmed after a brief talk with Palin, and more inclined to vote for McCain. Shannon Sampere, 24, of Newark, Del., said she and Palin talked about good bakeries in the area, adding that she found her to be very down to earth.
“She’s a very genuine person,” Sampere said.
The cashier told her the order was on the house, so Palin tossed her cash into a donation jar outside the window.
Would Hillary do that?
Remember this… John Kerry demonstrates how not to eat a cheesesteak.
If Sen. John F. Kerry’s presidential aspirations melt like a dollop of Cheez Whiz in the sun, the trouble may well be traced to an incident in South Philadelphia on Monday.
There, the Massachusetts Democrat went to Pat’s Steaks and ordered a cheesesteak — with Swiss cheese. If that weren’t bad enough, the candidate asked photographers not to take his picture while he ate the sandwich; shutters clicked anyway, and Kerry was caught nibbling daintily at his sandwich — another serious faux pas.
“It will doom his candidacy in Philadelphia,” predicted Craig LaBan, food critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer, which broke the Sandwich Scandal. After all, Philly cheesesteaks come with Cheez Whiz, or occasionally American or provolone. But Swiss cheese? “In Philadelphia, that’s an alternative lifestyle,” LaBan explained.
