Palin Rocks!!!

I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I love Palin! Have since I was 12 years old and would stay up late, when the show would come on PBS at 11, fiddling with the rabbit ears on the black and white TV in my bedroom to pick up the UHS channel.

I mean seriously, what's not to love about Palin?

Palin understands religion:

Chaplain: Let us praise God.
[The congregation rises.]
Chaplain: O Lord…
Congregation: O Lord…
Chaplain: … ooh, You are so big…
Congregation: … ooh, You are so big…
Chaplain: … so absolutely huge.
Congregation: … so absolutely huge.
Chaplain: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell You.
Congregation: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell You.
Chaplain: Forgive us, O Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying, and…
Congregation: … and barefaced flattery.
Chaplain: But You're so strong and, well, just so… super.
Congregation: Fantastic!
Chaplain: Amen.
Congregation: Amen.
Palin understands democracy:

Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Palin is totally down with women's health and reproductive issues:

Hospital Administrator: And what are you doing this morning?
Obstetrician: It's a birth.
Hospital Administrator: Ah. And what sort of thing is that?
Dr. Spenser: Well, that's where we take a new baby out of a lady's tummy.
Hospital Administrator: Wonderful what we can do nowdays.

Palin knows the party:

Wanda: I'm sorry about my brother, Ken. I know he's insensitive. He's had a hard life. Dad used to beat him up.
Ken: Good.

I could go on and on about how much I love Michael Palin. I've had a crush on him for 27 years. He's Oxford-educated, funny, self-deprecating and I could watch him for hours.



What's that you say? We were talking about the other famous Palin?

Oh good lord, scratch all that then.

UPDATE: It's been a week since I wrote that, and today I stumbled on Michael Palin for President. Click here for a better list of reasons than I came up with! Palin '08!!!

If only he were running for VP. As it is I'm forced to watch "The Daily Show" in order to survive the next two months! Thanks for another laugh!

Guess what?

I freakin' adore you! Were there a time machine (and I bet there is somewhere, oh, I just do!), we could go back to our 12 year old selves, only we'd live nearby, and we could have sleepovers and watch Python! The moment I discovered them, I was gone. When I first saw Michael Palin in 'The Holy Grail' MY quest became to marry him. And marry him some more.

You and I? We'd have been in the principal's office a lot, I think.

I love Michael Palin too. Funny, though. I thought of him too when the other Palin came into the limelight. ANd I thought to myself, why do I always draw such connections? Glad you did too.

Barbara- Fasten your seatbelt, my dear, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Diff Girl- I adore you more. Infinity. When I daydream about how much fun you and I would have had together in the 80s, I hope you knew how to fight, because we would have, after too many trips to the principal's office, been kicked out and sent to alternative school. And I was a total wuss who would have needed your protection.

MereCat- Who wouldn't love him? And be afraid of her? Yikes.

Hey, I hear she can field-dress a moose like no one's business and nail a postage stamp from 500 yards with a .22. What's more to want in a woman?

But. Seriously. Yikes.
