Palin: "I've joined this team of mavericks"

[Darkside55]

Do not trust her, she is against everlasting peace in 20XX

 

[Absinthe]

First thing I saw.

Ominous. And possibly sexy.

 

[VictimOfScience]

I will say it anywhere it is appropriate: Palin is now a perfectly formed turd at the bottom of Joe Biden's bowl. He ate her up and sh*t her out tonight. The fact that she didn't implode completely is hardly the kind of bar we want to set for the office of second in command of the world. Well done Joe.

 

[Darkside55]

Yet the after-debate commentary had most people saying she was the lead in this debate.

In any case

TEAM

OF

MAVERICKS

 

[MiccyNarc]

She was only in the lead because so many people set her bar so low that when she surpassed it, she looked amazing.

It's like having a D student finally make one C, everyone thinks its amazing.

Good analogy. And it is not like you would then want that student to be your class's valedictorian. That just wouldn't make any sense. :O

I'm just glad the polls say the American public thinks Joe won. I would've been a-feared otherwise.

You can't let reploids run around unchecked.

Here's a great article about the family whose name got the whole word into the lexicon in the first place: Who You Callin' a Maverick?

An excerpt:

?I?m just enraged that McCain calls himself a maverick,? said Terrellita Maverick, 82, a San Antonio native who proudly carries the name of a family that has been known for its progressive politics since the 1600s, when an early ancestor in Boston got into trouble with the law over his agitation for the rights of indentured servants.

Considering the family?s long history of association with liberalism and progressive ideals, it should come as no surprise that Ms. Maverick insists that John McCain, who has voted so often with his party, ?is in no way a maverick, in uppercase or lowercase.?

?It?s just incredible ? the nerve! ? to suggest that he?s not part of that Republican herd. Every time we hear it, all my children and I and all my family shrink a little and say, ?Oh, my God, he said it again.? ?

Hahaha! These GOP morons had really best stop using that term. This family does not mess around.

[Mr Stabby]

Ron Paul is a maverick

what the hell is with the link?

Villains in Rockman X were called Mavericks.

Rockman, Zero, and later Axl are called "Maverick Hunters."

I kinda figured I was banking on a long shot with that joke on this board.

 

[MJ12]

Man I hate the little ads you'll see with Sarah Palin "Sarah Palin, A Proven Maverick!"

What?! Is there a test one can take to become a proven maverick??

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Whenever i read the thread title I always say MAVERICKS louder.

 

[VirusType2]

I always think of my beard trimmer every time I hear Maverick

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I think about this bunny tracks map on UT99' Named BT - Maverick

 

[VictimOfScience]

I don't think I can enjoy Top Gun anymore either. ;(

The report from the investigation on Sarah Palin abusing her powers as Governor is supposed to come today, October 10th.

The investigator's report is expected by October 10.[11] Democratic state Senator Hollis French, who is overseeing the investigation, stated the report will "likely be damaging" to the Palin administration, and may be an October surprise.[12]

I bet you that republicans will still defend her if found guilty and forced to resign. They'll still support her. They'll scream that this was a liberal democrat plot to have her removed from office, ignoring the fact that this was brought forth by four democrats and TEN republicans! And that it's republicans who also wanted to ensure the speedy date.

And that it was Palin who wanted originally for it to go forward until she became vice president.

betty white is awesome

When Betty White calls someone a crazy bitch, they're a crazy bitch who overshadows Betty White.

that's because republicans and their supporters are morons ...no really:

But over the past few decades, the Republican Party has driven away people who live in cities, in highly educated regions and on the coasts. This expulsion has had many causes. But the big one is this: Republican political tacticians decided to mobilize their coalition with a form of social class warfare. Democrats kept nominating coastal pointy-heads like Michael Dukakis so Republicans attacked coastal pointy-heads.

Over the past 15 years, the same argument has been heard from a thousand politicians and a hundred television and talk-radio jocks. The nation is divided between the wholesome Joe Sixpacks in the heartland and the oversophisticated, overeducated, oversecularized denizens of the coasts.

What had been a disdain for liberal intellectuals slipped into a disdain for the educated class as a whole.

The political effects of this trend have been obvious. Republicans have alienated the highly educated regions ? Silicon Valley, northern Virginia, the suburbs outside of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Raleigh-Durham. The West Coast and the Northeast are mostly gone.

The Republicans have alienated whole professions. Lawyers now donate to the Democratic Party over the Republican Party at 4-to-1 rates. With doctors, it?s 2-to-1. With tech executives, it?s 5-to-1. With investment bankers, it?s 2-to-1. It took talent for Republicans to lose the banking community.
