Palin on Colbert

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) tweets: "Getting ready to tape shout-out for our awesome US troops serving overseas! Will be on 'Colbert Report' next month, broadcast from Iraq..."

1. Ugh. It's rare that Steven has a guest that I just cannot bear.

I'll pass.

[ejpoeta]

2. will she be IN iraq?? or will it just be a satellite thing?

[ColbertWatcher]

8. She's an attention whore, she will be in Iraq.

It will provide her with excellent promotional materials for her 2012 campaign.

[alsame]

11. A satellite? You mean she can't

just see Iraq from her house?:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

3. What a dumbass.

Colbert was told not to disclose that info and she blabs it on Twitter?

[DireStrike]

4. She might be getting the details wrong.

Her use of the phrase "broadcast from Iraq" might be the stupidity here. His show isn't going to be live, is it?

And it might not be in Iraq.



...or, more likely, you are completely right.

[ColbertWatcher]

6. That's actually pretty funny!

And probably part of Colbert's strategy!

She is ignant when it comes to geography.

5. Iraq and next month is pretty non-specific

Local news anywhere usually announces the day when units deploy. Usually because units hold a rally where loved ones get to say good bye, and the loved ones usually know in advance what base they are going to so they can write mail. While you're over there in MWR's across Iraq and Kuwait you can see dates of famous people coming to a location as well. As long as you don't disclose travel plans such as arriving near Kuwait City at such and such time, boarding a military aircraft at such an such time to BIAP arriving at such and such time it is ok.

7. Oh yes, but ...

... Dr. Colbert turned his trip to the Persian Gulf into a puzzle and she messed it up. She must hate America.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

9. Not really. Colbert was told not to say what country in the persian gulf he was going to and not to

say when either. It was an awesome bit on his show! She ruined it!

[JonLP24]

10. I have no idea what Colbert was told

I was just speaking from experience. That is all.

[ColbertWatcher]

12. You don't know what Dr. Colbert was told!? That means you're not an Hero™!

Why do you hate America!?

[underpants]

16. Exactly what I thought

:eyes:

[armyowalgreens]

13. I swear to God if Palin fucked this up...

I'm going to release a wolf into her house.

[DireStrike]

15. That seems unfair for the wolf

but then again, I don't think helicopters fit inside Palin's house.

[XemaSab]

14. Good

She can go make an ass of herself on the other side of the planet. x(

[and-justice-for-all]

17. What is she doing in Iraq??

and why the hell is Falin going to be on Colbert??! :puke:
