My friends, you just have to see this page from the fine people at Conservapedia, “The Trustworthy Encylopedia.” Scroll down.
Seriously, those Britannica folks must be a bunch of liars.

First, Sarah Palin claimed earlier this week that criticisms by the media were threatening her First Amendment rights. She then dazzled us yet again today with news that we’re actually at war with Iran. Her wealth of foreign policy experience and Constitutional knowledge have come shining through again.
Just when you thought she couldn’t possibly have anything left in the tank, however, Palin was tricked by a pair of comedians from a radio station in Quebec into thinking she was speaking with French President Sarkozy during a 6 minute long “interview”:
Those are some of the worst French accents ever. Obviously, not her fault for getting on the phone initially to speak with him, she was told it was Sarkozy by her own staff after all, but to go along with the outrageous things he was talking about just illustrates her lack of knowledge and experience even further. And can someone please tell me why no one on her staff seems to have a phone with caller ID? The last time I checked, no one calling from France was coming through with a 514 area code.
Ok, enough Palin bashing for the night. I did, however, see this video and thought it was definitely deserving of closing out the post for the evening:
Three days and counting!

What better way to follow-up a long and serious post on Halloween than to share a video with beer as its focal point? Thanks to Cyn and John B for spreading the word about this one.
I hope that Joe the Plumber truly understands that the only people who aren’t laughing AT him are delusional. That, and following the election, neither McCain nor Palin are going to give a rat’s ass who he is or what he’s doing.

Oh…my…gawd…
If it were real, my eyes (and ears) would be bleeding. It’s actually one of the many great pieces of content from 23/6, the same people who brought us the Ashley Todd Halloween mask (PDF).
Probably the best part about the whole thing was that Fox News and John McCain thought the whole thing was real. Even better than best, John McCain considers this to be “new technology.”
The three women, all actors and/or musicians, in the video - Barbara Baskin, Ellen Nira Cade and Jamie Robin - then “switched allegiances” (the Obama video disappeared, but I found this one) and followed it up with this little ditty:
Oh, but wait…there’s more! This one comes from the hilarious comics over at Barely Political.
Thanks to Mickey passing a couple of these along…it’s going to be a while before that first video stops haunting me.

I think Repooplicans.com may be the 247th blog/website to comment on this photo, but I just couldn’t let it go. Honestly, I was hoping this was some really good Photoshoppery, but (not so) sadly, it doesn’t look that way. The scarf has the word, “Vote,” on it and, yes, those really are Democratic donkeys. Unfortunately for Sarah, however, there isn’t a single GOP elephant:
Since everyone else seems to have covered how dumb she must be, how ignorant she is, how could she possibly make a mistake like this, etc., etc., I wanted to come at this from a slightly different angle. Sarah Palin has done more than enough on her own to establish the fact that she’s completely unfit for the office, so my question is this: Where the hell was her staff??? Who dropped the ball and let her walk out with this thing draped around her neck? I have to believe it is someone’s job to inspect her from head to toe, literally, before she makes an appearance in front of people or cameras. Or should I say it was someone’s job? A gaffe like this is akin to Mickey showing up wearing a Red Sox hat…and if you know Mickey, you know that would never happen.
Next up, Barack Obama earrings? If only we were that lucky.

Talk about an instant classic. Just watch Cindy’s face while John McCain is at his fumbling, bumbling best:
Reminds me very much of another oldie, but goodie:

Yet another reason why the Internet is AWESOME: Palin as President. Roll your cursor over and click on everything. Also, be sure to open/close the door three or four times.
Thanks to Mandi and Kristin for sharing!
