Palin For President?

wenn2094422__opt1.jpg

Sarah Palin is still trying to stay in the public's eye and she's attacking her own political party!

Palin recently spoke to the Anchorage Daily News and stated that she and John McCain lost because the Republican ticket “represented too much of the status quo.”

She continued by saying that it was President George W. Bush's administration that ruined the the GOP brand, adding that it was "amazing" the McCain camp did as well as they did.

We agree. With Palin as his running mate, we're surprised they kept it as close they did for as long as they did!

Palin says, “I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration?”

And the intelligent Palin added, “If we’re talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented, and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing. So people desiring change, I think, went as far from the administration that is presently seated as they could. It's amazing that we did as well as we did.”

She also adds that she was "frustrated" at all the misinformation the media spread about her and her family.

Palin says, “Some of the goofy things, like who was Trig's mom. Well, I'm Trig's mom, and do you want to see my medical records to prove that? And banning books. That was a ridiculous thing also that could have so easily been corrected just by a reporter taking an extra step and not basing a report on gossip or speculation."

So, on to the important question. Will Palin run for President in 2012?

Palin didn't specifically confirm the news when asked, but she did mention that polls often switch.

Saying, “Look how fickle poll numbers are. Look where I've gone, up and down, up and down, even in the state of Alaska the last couple of months. We can't pay attention to those numbers.”

Let's just hope people aren't stupid enough to elect her as a candidate for 2012.

The Election May Be Over, But….

palin.gif

More details are being released about Sarah Palin and her sexy ways!

Such as the fact that she once greeted some John McCain staff members by wearing nothing more than a towel.

Hawt!!!

According to Newsweek, "At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. "I'll be just a minute," she said."

Very classy, right?

Oh, and remember those reports that Sarah spent over $150,000 on clothes? Well, it seems she actually spent more!

Newsweek also reports that "Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family–clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill."

"Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books."

Actually, we better see ALL of her outfits being donated or auctioned for charity as reports had previously said.

Shady, Sarah. Shady!

Oh, and even better, it turns out Palin requested to speak after McCain's concession speech yesterday, but luckily campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

Such an attention whore.

The entire country is better off today.

Well, except for Alaska.

Akon To Leave Country if McCain Wins

wenn52012932.jpg

We hate it when celebutards do shit like this!!!

In a recent interview with the UK's The Guardian, Akon opens up about what he'll do if McCain wins the presidency.

According to the musician, he'll give up his citizenship and return to Africa!

Seriously.

Can we buy you a ticket back???

Akon says, "If he [Obama] doesn't get into office, I'm gonna change my citizenship. I'm moving back to Africa. You can hold me to that. I'm afraid to live there if he [McCain] is President. The decisions he makes scare me: he's making selfish decisions, he's doing whatever it takes to get into office."

So insightful.

As for those bad decisions, Akon says one of them is selecting Palin as his running mate.

He adds, "I don't think he's going to last eight years so she's definitely going to be president. Oh my goodness - that's scarier. And who would be her running mate? Joe the Plumber?"

Ha! Ok, that was pretty funny.

Akon continue, "I'm very afraid. If the people don't see [that life in America will deteriorate under McCain], then that's a dangerous place to be for the next four years. I can't even envision how bad it's gonna be. I see it now - like, I'm driving down the highway, and I see cars parked with their emergency lights on because [people] can't afford to buy gas. You've got families walking, carrying infants to the next exit to take a taxi, because the taxi will get them home cheaper than the gas."

Akon also thinks the last elections were fixed.

He says, "I really, really hope that Obama gets in, but I don't want to jinx him. It's too early to say, because I do

He's such a thinker!

We don't wanna see McCai win, but - if he does - Akon better get packin'!

Sarah Palin's Medical Records Still A No Show

records.jpg

With Election Day TOMORROW, Sarah Palin has yet to release the medical records the campaign promised two weeks ago.

And it looks like it's not gonna happen at all!

Two weeks ago, Palin's team told reporters that the records were coming.

When the records didn't appear last week, an aide rescinded the deadline and admitted it wasn't known if the records would be made public or not.

Conversely, Obama, Biden, and even McCain - albeit briefly - have offered up their medical records.

Sketchy!

Sexy Sarah Overshadows McCain Again

feymccain__opt.jpg

John McCain deserves a nice pat on the back for pulling in a huge audience for Saturday Night Live this past weekend.

According to reports, the McCain episode drew a 9.0 rating/20 share overnight household rating in 56 markets.

But, it wasn't good enough to match or exceed the numbers Sarah Palin delivered to SNL a few weeks ago.

The Alaskan governor rounded up a 10.7/24 share rating and the honor of being the draw for the MOST WATCHED SNL show since December 1997.

Wonder how Johnny feels about playing second fiddle to his #2?

The creepily ambitious moose hunter is probably LOVING the fact that she again has proved to be more 'popular' than the old senator!

Sarah Palin Got Punk'd…Big Time!

John McCain must dying of embarrassment.

His VP pick has been involved in yet another big eff up!

Sarah Palin and her handlers were tricked into thinking that she was taking part in a Saturday afternoon phone interview with French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

The people who were actually on the other end of the line were two Canadian comedians, called The Masked Avengers, who have a regular show on Montreal radio station CKOI.

The shiz they throw at Sexy Sarah is pretty ridiculous!

Wonder if anyone from the Palin camp was fired last night?!

Click here to listen to the entire prank call.
