Government experience includes seeking a ministry grant to make a walk which is not particularly silly, very silly.

a constitutional scholar:

strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses.

with a keen understanding of economics:

18 pounds and a kilt, that’s – nine hundred million pounds!

and a tough stance on the environment:

i’m a lumber jack and i’m ok. i sleep all night, i work all day.

michael palin is also an expert at foreign policy and international diplomacy:

this is supposed to be a happy occasion, let’s not bicker and argue about who killed who

while a deeply religious man:

nobody expects the spanish inquisition!

committed to tradition family values:

every sperm is sacred, every sperm is grace

with his extensive military background:

he’s also tough on terrorists and not afraid to use advanced interrogation methods:

if that’s the way you want it. cardinal, poke her with the soft cushion – ha ha!

a true visionary, a man of the people and most importantly, a hockey mom with a simple homespun philosophy that anyone can understand:

try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in and try to live together in harmony with people of all creeds and nations. and finally, here are some gratuitous pictures of penises.

michael palin, because apparently anyone can run the free world nowadays. so why not?

Just thought I’d share.

So far she’s been allowed into public view only to deliver a speech similar to the one she gave at her party’s convention, the one in which, with the sass and smile of a punch line, she ridiculed community organizers who step up to help less fortunate communities whose government has allowed them to fall through the cracks. Her speech made for good television, something the McCain camp felt they desperately needed. And it sure fired up the folks at the Republican National Convention. Who can blame them? They finally have a candidate who can shoot a gun, drink a beer AND speak in complete English sentences. This is real change for them.

my bold.

But this is the self-help you can get if you hang with Palin.

And Bush announcing lots more troops to come home at first of the year. Yeah.
