could she become more irrelevant / Palin: "We Thank President Bush" for Setting Up Bin Laden Kill

[sasha031]

Before a friendly crowd at Colorado Christian University on Monday night, Sarah Palin lauded President George W. Bush for the killing of Osama bin Laden without mentioning President Obama's name a single time. Describing bin Laden as "the public face of Islamic terrorism," Palin said American troops' "courage and their determination brought us justice." She went on to say, "We thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory."

As the Denver Post reported, Palin did get her jabs in at Obama and his administration. She criticized the president's handling of the conflict in Libya for a "lack of clarity" and for overreaching. "We can't fight every war," she said. "We can't undo every injustice in the world. We don't go looking for dragons to slay."

Indeed, Palin's speech came off as a platform for her to lay out foreign policy vision. Here's more from Politico:

1. She just can't bring herself to give Obama credit where credit is due

What an ignorant $@#%

[ecstatic]

2. But yet, Bush isn't responsible for the economy? OK

Uggh they are so sickening.

[malaise]

3. Stupid comments like these only make

more folks realize that she's a batshit crazy partisan.

[blm]

4. She thanks Bush for closing the Bin Laden unit at the CIA in 2005 so Bin Laden could rest easy till

an actual pursuit would be launched in 2009 from a REAL president?

[bluestateguy]

5. If she does not like the way Obama is running the country, she should leave

nt

[callous taoboy]

6. I envision her babbling to herself in a padded room.

[Turbineguy]

7. OK, so let me understand this.

People went out and worked. They earned money. Then they spent that money on tickets to listen to this twit?

[Wait Wut]

11. Amazing, isn't it?

I encourage it. Let them waste their money on the likes of her. It gives them less to donate to their yet unknown faux viable teaper candidate.

[Buns_of_Fire]

30. Well, they don't sell Pet Rocks anymore -- so they went with the next best thing.

Sister Sarah -- the teabagger's own Pet Rock. (You can't teach a Pet Rock to fetch a newspaper, either.)

[pipi_k]

8. She should consider...

taking W out hunting with her too.

He could run out into the field and make the wildlife stand still so she can get a better shot at them.

[groundloop]

13. She should consider a hunting trip with Cheney.....

but on second thought I'm not sure anybody deserves that.

[RKP5637]

9. She's an absolute ass and stupid except when it comes to working the

crowds to make herself some $$$ off the fools that flock to her, and to boost her ego and her insatiable desire for attention. These people are really quite revolting. The Un-Americans.

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Who's "we"?

What is she the fucking Queen?

[patricia92243]

12. Just showing herself for the witch that she really is. n/t

[niyad]

24. PLEASE do not lump real witches in with this vile waste of resources

[tjwash]

14. What's with the fucking flood of "politico" posts today?

What's next, weekly world news and national enquirer links here?

[Frances]

18. The link takes you to Mother Jones

Mother Jones has the quote from Politico. I read the comments at the end of the article and a Mother Jones reader complained about Politico too.

[Urban Prairie]

15. Rattle-ramble, rattle-ramble...that pea-sized chunk of gray matter in her skull was working OT.

She may avoid saying his name, but inside she's fuming and disturbed that he IS getting much credit nonetheless, and regardless of what she says, outside of course, her like-minded RWer whackjob sycophants.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind whatsoever, that when Palin first heard the news that OBL had been found and killed, her very first thought/emotion was dismay and how she would be affected by soon needing to spin it away from Obama in her speeches.

[badgerpup]

33. Give her a break...

I mean, there's NO WAY IN HELL she could spin this in such a way that she or her family is being victimized by the 'lame-stream' media', right?
:evilgrin:

Next best thing is to give credit where it isn't due.
Wonder how long it's gonna take for her to try to spread a rumor that she was in on this and 'they couldn't have done it without her insight'...:rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

16. The phrase "foreign policy vision" should NEVER be used in

association with someone who claims knowledge based on her ability to see Russia from her front porch! :banghead:

[TTUBatfan2008]

17. Her only foreign policy "vision"...

is "I can see Russia from my house!"

[ChoppinBroccoli]

19. All These RW A-Holes Bending Over Backwards To Praise Bush For This............

..............can easily be defeated by reminding them of one fact:

When Obama had the chance to go in and kill Bin Laden, he issued the order. Bang. Headshot.

When Bush had the chance to go in and kill Bin Laden, he issued the order...........for the troops to stand down.

[soleft]

20. I'm starting to think she will be the 2012 nominee

Because noooooooobody else is going to want to run. She will be the Ruth Messinger of the party. And she did say if no one else ran, she would run. If they do give her that door, her ego will push her thru it.

[cbdo2007]

21. Humility has always been one of her weaker traits.

[spanone]

22. blow it out your ass, honey

[ChoppinBroccoli]

23. Would It Be Inappropriate To Borrow A Line From Mel Gibson?

"You should just SMIIIIIIIIILE........and BLOW ME!!!"

[LynneSin]

25. OMG you have GOT to be kidding me

Stupid is as stupid does!

[truebrit71]

26. What a mucking foron...

:crazy:

[niyad]

27. ugh, between her and mccrystal being here yesterday, it was no wonder I had a migraine

[Rocknrule]

28. Good God, there are people who still like Bush?!

In my own state, no less!

Seriously, you don't know how disturbing it is to me that there are Americans who still like that one-man wrecking crew after everything he did to this country.

And as a side note, since this was at CCU, to me it just further perpetuates the idea they try to push that you have to be right-wing to be Christian. How anyone could believe that boggles my mind. Jesus said "Feed the poor". Republicans say "Fuck the poor".

[classof56]

29. Colorado Christian University??

OMG--many long years ago I attended that school when it had a different name. That was back in the day when Christians had a thing about lying (shouldn't oughta do that) and praying for those in authority (that was biblical). And a lot of students had the goal of spreading the gospel throughout the world, sorta like Jesus said, which included that social justice thing. Can't ever recall a politician speaking at the school. Wow--the times they have changed!

Oh, and Palin's the idiot I've always thought she was. Maybe she should follow the biblical admonition that women keep silent in church. And for her, everywhere else.

Peace.

[peekaloo]

31. We also thank Jebus for giving us the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus!

[Lovette]

32. This is 100% proof

Sarah Palin is brain dead!! :rofl:

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

34. How Low Can You Go?

Join us as Sarah Palin limbos her way into obscurity and irrelevance.



Surely someone here at DU can Photoshop her mug onto the limbo dancer.

[Lovette]

35. How do you give credit to the person that gave credit to the person who done the job??
