Slog - Comments on I Can See Kabul From My House http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/i_can_see_kabul_from_my_house This just in... Three days after a mostly gaffe-free debate performance, the Alaska governor fumbled during a speech in which she praised U.S. soldiers for “fighting terrorism and protecting us and our democratic values”. “They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan,” she told several hundred supporters at a fundraising event in San Francisco....

So yeah I can see how it's fair to call Afghanistan our neighbor.

If you had a million reporters following you around recording everything you say, I bet there'd be all kinds of chestnuts to post on the internet as proof of what a moron you are.

Hey Dan, remember that time you said supporting Bush when he invaded Iraq was a good idea? Except, oh -- no. That's different. You actually meant to say that.

Of course, the other thing that's different is that Sarah Palin's running for Vice President of the United States. You're just an internationally syndicated columnist, TV personality, and editorial director of the largest free weekly between Vancouver BC and San Francisco, west to Denver. Surely nobody can expect consistency and accuracy from you.

Unlike, you know, Sarah Palin, who is clearly a key player in our national political dialogue.

Dan is articulate, intelligent and does not need cueing, prompting or notecards to get through a discussion. Oh yeah and he is not afraid to answer questions.

@12 Dan Savage is a key player in our national political dialogue.

Her appearance at all on the national stage is the result of an inept pandering attempt by the McCain camp. She's a shiny object meant to distract us from actual political dialogue.

This news item is no great revelation. Governor Palin misspoke, she's done it, Obama's done it, Dan's done it and I've done it. It's just a bit of schadenfreude for those of us who find her nomination repugnant not because she's a republican, but because those who nominated her seem to have such blatant disregard if not downright contempt for the people of this nation by putting this clown car on the ticket.

I was hoping for something much more dramatic... Like she didn't know what country Kabul was in or something.

The GOP has repeatedly subverted our constitution via the crimes of Nixon, Ollie North, arms for hostages, and the cherrypickingo f intell and torture we've seen recently. And hundreds and millions of folks support that, with whom you are associated. And it ws your party, I believe, who tried to subvert our constitution with the Clinton impeachment when lyign about a blow job isin't a high crime and misdemeanor. (It's a low crime -- duh--not about seizing levers of power, etc.) I believe under the GOP that several democratic govts. were overthrown by the USA including Iran, Chile and Gautemala. And you are associated with people associated with that. So you, sir are plagued by your associations with terrorists, murderers war criminals and crimes against humanity. Obviously you hate America and all that it stands for. Why? Becuase when our strongest ideals are challenged, you are among those whose first reaction is to surrender those ideals that make America great under a quick white flag of surrender.

Unity all y'all, except Bailo--

The only reason Palin is a "key player in our national political dialogue" is because she's such a fucking arrogant moron that we have no choice but to talk about her.

The Obama campaign is even in Omaha, for God's sake. Maybe it has something to do with the gay marriage amendment. If so, good luck, Sarah, you'll need it.
