Where does the "scared" meme come from?

Handsome without being obviously vain. And self-deprecating enough to tell your Obama joke better and sooner than any comedian. He's comedy poison. And US politics is comedy-driven. So here's Ms. Palin, who not only IS the biggest political joke since Dan Quail but also has the courtesy to write her own jokes. How many politicians have had TWO of their speeches repeated verbatim as comedy gold? Sarah Palin was sent by god himself. The god here is Loki. We should all sacrifice many rubber chickens to Sleipnir's Mother. -------------------------- Long story, but it comes down to Loki shape-shifting to mare form in order to distract an enemy's stallion and ending up pregnant with a colt.

I get the occasional "not PC" Obama joke from various non-mainstream sources, but they are all either generic race stuff or just plain not funny. I'm entirely capable of laughing at my own side. The other thing that suggests to me that Obama is more "not funny" than "off limits" is that there was a small spate of jokes about his race. "A black guy will get elected President when pigs fly." "Hey, swine flu!" SNL tries to do comedy about him. They certainly don't consider him untouchable. But it just doesn't fly.

It appears that people were spitting on the wrong side its worked for almost every president speech patterns are good to work with, his complete different cadence when giving a speech or speaking ad hoc is good material date night is a great target.

She'd have Nuke codes and more than likely press the damned button, plus being smart as a plug nickel. That is the ONLY TWO things I was afraid of... now its fun watching her implode.
