In her case, it could refer to the "back country".

That Lincoln thing is pretty powerful though...

This just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Next: we'll learn that she's really an Aztec war-goddess imprisoned in the tundra by Poseidon 2,000 years ago. She's been accidentally freed by oil prospectors, and now she's itching to take the fight to Mt. Olympus.

Palin is the gift that keeps on giving. The Iraq War is God's Task, well, at least as of June it was...

Doesn't McCain know about internet video? You know, the stuff that comes through the tubes?

I love you, Sarah Palin. You've made me the happiest man in the world. Never leave us, Sarah. Never!

I would give anything to listen in on the phone call when McCain calls Palin to ask her if she really, really is that fucking insane.

"Country first. We'll get around to looting private citizens afterwards."

Sarah Palin really puts the cunt back into country, eh?

Sarah, dear...

...is this 'country' you speak of America? I was under the impression that you and your husband hated America?

Would the Palins even be able to get the security clearances required to give them access to the White House due to such anti-American statements?

Just wondering...

@3, you left off perhaps the best part of her eloquent speech: (as reported on MSNBC)

"It wasn't all serious, though. At one point during the address, Palin praised the graduating class as “a bunch of cool-looking Christians.” Then she picked out one student in the crowd and said with a smile, “Ben, I don't know you well enough yet, but looking at you, I'm thinking, people are going to [be] interested in Jesus Christ through you because of the way you look - this red-headed Sasquatch for Jesus. You look good!” The students cheered. “Times are really changin'. And with the times that change, looks even change.”

The seven-minute speech is posted on the Web site of Palin's former church, the Wasilla Assembly of God. But, the political operative said, the McCain campaign seems to have had no knowledge of it when Palin was announced as McCain's running mate on Friday."

Look out! The red-headed Sasquatches for Jesus are coming! Of course I'm interested in Jesus Christ, just don't eat me Mr. Sasquatch!

@6, this is exactly what I was thinking as the men were chanting. It's eerie and creepy.

@1

You know, Lincoln would shit a brick (log) if he knew what the republican party of today had become. They may as well be two different parties. So, you know... suck it, 'tard.

Regarding McCain's Country First slogan, Sarah Palin has indeed put the *Cunt* into Country.

Why, yes, Briss, she does, as I said a mere two hours before you @9.

Clearly, this is rural idiocy.

I love seeing the "alaska" sign in the background. Makes the picture oh-so-much better.

Oh c'mon you nit-pickers, they never really said which country first.

Besides, if Palin truly believes Alaska is a sovereign territory not associated with the United States of America, then technically she earns LOADS of "foreign policy experience", every time she steps foot in the lower 48,right?

OTOH, the whole "born on foreign soil" thing might prove to be a problem for her come swearing-in time...
