MADISON, Wis. — Sarah Palin defended Wisconsin’s governor at a tea party tax day rally Saturday Apr 16 2011, telling hundreds of supporters that his polarizing union rights law is designed to save public jobs.
Sarah Palin rallied the people in Madison
Shouted quite clearly “The battle is on”.
The rent-a-mob jeered
And the patriots cheered.
“It starts here, Obama, – Game on!”
While Sarah did run with the thundering herd.
From most there was not a discouraging word.
Except from the press.
They made such a mess.
Is it lies or just bias? Distinction is blurred.
Over 23000 pages of Sarah Palin’s e-mails were released June 10 2011, covering her years a Governor up to her selection as Vice President. Washington Post called for volunteers to help them dig up dirt. What did they find? Nothing, except more than 13000 e-mails without anything embarrassing, all produced in a time span of 2 years. Who, if any can duplicate that? After reading a few of the e-mails I came away with the impression: This is exactly the executive I would like to work for: demanding, no nonsense, inspiring, compassionate, organized and clear.
With e-mails galore from then Governor Palin
The MSM hoped to put the last nail in
her coffin. The Press horde
instead fell on their sword.
Soon President Palin we all may be hailin’.

A hard-working governor showing true grit
and wit: Can you flippinbelieveit?
She turned the tables
on media fables.
The true Sarah Palin: A Presidentfit.
The “Hobbits for Palin”, so spoke John McCain
Implying the “Tea Party” vote was in vain.
It’s business as usual
Our future not crucial
Pile debt upon debt, it is Washington’s gain.
“We have the wind in our face because the American people have the wind in their faces,” David Axelrod told an audience of New Hampshire politicians and business leaders September 27. “So this is going to be a titanic struggle. But I firmly believe we’re on the right side of the struggle.”
A Titanic struggle in Obama’s way
The iceberg of debt, what more can I say.
The music is playing,
Decisions delaying.
Please Run! Sarah, run to our aid, don’t delay.
Can folks have Thanksgiving and not mention God? (1)
Esther does not even once mention God. (2)
“If I perish, I perish” (3)
An expression to cherish.
T’was Sarah’s and Bibi’s Thanksgiving, Thank God! (4)
(1). President Obama in his Thanksgiving radio address reflected on how truly lucky we are. He gave thanks to the troops and volunteers in soup kitchens and spread it around. In fact, he gave thanks to just about everybody, but not God.
(2)There is a book in the Holy Bible that does not mention the name of God, not even once. The book is Esther (Hadassah in Hebrew). Yet God is everywhere between the lines, just not expressed in words.
(3)When Sarah Palin abruptly resigned as Governor less than 3 years into her term, she went fishing. The press was there and asked her many questions. She claimed the reasons for her resignation were so obvious that anybody should get it. Liberal interviewers are not just anybody, so they kept asking. In one of her answers she said the phrase from Esther, slightly concealed “If I die, I die”. This was too deep for the interviewers, for they do not even know there is a book in the Bible called Esther, and if they do they would never admit it, for the Bible is not something about which they are supposed to acknowledge any knowledge.
(4)In March 2011 Governor Sarah Palin’s arrived in Jerusalem just as Israelis celebrated the festivities of Purim.
Purim is the day Jews celebrate the story of Esther. It’s a very festive day. Kids dress up and food gifts are distributed to family and friends. People are very joyous and there is a lot of singing and dancing in the streets. It’s customary to drink lots of wine on Purim. It is also a day of giving a plenty of money to charity.
Governor Palin joined Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his family for dinner in Jerusalem on Monday evening; The Purim dinner!
The croniest capitalism
Obama’s is sort of fascism
But Mitt Romney can’t say
He is out of the fray
So Run, Sarah Run, for we can’t have a schism.
Sarah Palin: Criminal penalty if vote traded for campaign contribution. [The Alaska Senate watered down the 2007 ethics bill] The Senate’s action was politics-as-usual. We were determined to keep the pressure on.
That pressure paid off when legislators approved an omnibus ethics bill. It included my administration’s ethics proposal, as well as the House’s muscular amendment that imposed criminal penalties on lawmakers who traded votes for campaign contributions. Plus, any legislator convicted of a felony would forfeit his or her state pension. We were pleased that no one could claim pride of authorship on this. Finally the Capitol had pulled together and passed a strong bill. A Democrat lawmaker noted: “This is one of the best pieces of work I’ve seen come out of the legislature because it came out as a policy document and not a political document.” It was music to my ears: POLICY, not politics.

Mikado in Missoula, Montana, Sarah Palin beheading?
“Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone, All centuries but this, and every country but his own;”
This is a phrase in the Gilbert and Sullivan play “Mikado” comic opera that the Missoula Community Theatre performed Jan 21-23, 26-30 in Missoula, Montana.
It is supposed to be political satire, the script calls for inserting current political events. The song itself sings about it: “The task of filling up the blanks I’d rather leave to you. But it really doesn’t matter whom you put upon the list, For they’d none of ‘em be missed — they’d none of ‘em be missed! (Chorus: (including Children)) You may put ‘em on the list — you may put ‘em on the list; And they’ll none of ‘em be missed — they’ll none of ‘em be missed!”
So, what current political trends did the good people of Missoula come up with?
Being an enlightened, liberal University town the up-to-date script called for the beheading of Sarah Palin. The public laughed and applauded. They had modified the lines:
“And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy, And who “doesn’t think she dances, but would rather like to try”; And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist — I don’t think she’d be missed — I’m sure she’d not he missed! (Chorus: (Children)) He’s got her on the list — he’s got her on the list; And I don’t think she’ll be missed — I’m sure she’ll not be missed!”
A few people in the audience thought this was not in the best taste, one man, Rory Page, Clinton wrote in a letter to the editor: (excerpt) Now, I realize you play to a mostly liberal audience in Missoula and so, I am sure, felt comfortable in your calling for the beheading of Sarah Palin. I am painfully aware that most in the audience tittered with laughter and clapped because “no one would miss her” but there were some in your audience who took great offense to this “uncivil tone” about another human being:
This came to the attention of national media, and so the Executive Director Michael McGill decided to alter the lyrics for the remainder of the schedule. He also sent out a “letter of apology” where he states: “I am sorry that the satirical reference to Sarah Palin has offended some of our patrons.” He was in no way sorry for what the writer had done, only that some took offense to it. So he changed the lyrics, and it became:” And that crazy Sarah Palin needs a psychoanalyst. She never would be missed, No she never would be missed.”
That was reassuring. Sarah Palin had to remain in the lyrics in the most derogatory form they could muster, in this new “Civility” environment.
Of course there is no name associated with
“Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone, All centuries but this, and every country but his own;”
Any ideas?
And the obligatory limerick:
Misoula, Montana, a small college town.
They are so superior, they have cap and gown.
“Behead Sarah Palin’
The Mikado railin’
The children chimed in, you must not let them down.
Driving Miss Sarah, it’s not what you think.
As he drives our nation right down to the brink.
In the back seat she ponders
As he quickly squanders
Our kit and kaboodle, they’re gone in a blink.
