You can mark down Dec. 3, 2009 as the day Sarah Palin reached her kookiest extreme, at least until she outdoes herself again (h/t: Ben Smith):

Transcript:

HUMPHRIES: Sarah Palin here on the Rusty Humphries Show. One of the questions Jason asks is would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?

PALIN: I think the public rightly is still making it an issue. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t know if I would have to bother to make it an issue because I think there are enough members of the electorate that still want answers.

HUMPHRIES: Do you think it’s a fair question to be looking at?

PALIN: I think it’s a fair question just like I think past associations and past voting records. All of that is fair game. You know, I’ve got to tell you too, I think our campaign, the McCain-Palin campaign didn’t do a good enough job in that area. We didn’t call out Obama and some of his associates on their records and what their beliefs were, and perhaps what their future plans were, and I don’t think that was fair to voters to not have done our job as candidates and a campaign to bring to light a lot of things that now we’re seeing manifest in the administration.

HUMPHRIES: I mean, truly if your past is fair game and your kids are fair game, certainly Obama’s past should be. I mean, we want to treat men and women equally, right?

PALIN: Hey, you know, that’s a great point. And that weird conspiracy theory freaky thing that people talk about that Trig isn’t my real son, and a lot of people that went "Well, you need to produce his birth certificate, you need to prove that he’s your kid," which we have done, but yeah, so maybe we can reverse that, and use the same thinking on the other one.

8. This is sad

The woman doesn't even believe in anything. Even in interviews with unintelligent conservative talk-show hosts who fucking pander to her, she gets confused and just says shit to please whoever she is talking to. It would be one thing if she actually had principles, even if they were terrible principles, but her entire game is promoting her personal identity to the least among us. She is without a doubt the most egotistical, self-obsessed personality in politics today.

9. "THE OTHER ONE" AGAIN????

When Grampa was 'talkin' funny again' in the debate, didn't he say "that one over there' or something like that... You remember, the one that goes with "YOU PEOPLE" so well!!!!!!!!

[Ramulux]

11. What?

No idea what your talking about.

12. The phrase

"which we have done" in the final paragraph is a lie.
