Is Sarah Palin actually a halfwit?

I meant - gotcha - as in "I understand".

Not Gotcha question (like the simple questions that Palin describes as gotcha questions after she inevitable messes up the answer.

Q:

What have you seen so far today and what are you going to take away from your visit?

Palin

In a shout-out, gotcha type of question that was asked of me, I answered candidly. And I know my American history.

Thanks for the clarification, but it still doesn't make sense.

(and a bit of an aside... I bet Sarah Palin knows how old her children are. But I’ve got to give Obama a bit of latitude there… his penchant for using fuzzy math might contribute to the problem. )

Whatever her fashion strategy, Palin says she was keen to show that a pregnant woman could be a full-time governor of Alaska. Even the much greater complications of a 43 year old with a Down Syndrome child would not deter her from proving her feminist mettle.

And so at a little more than eight months' pregnant, 43 years' old, with a Down Syndrome unborn child, Sarah Palin made an extraordinary decision. She was going to fly from Alaska to Texas and back in the last month of pregnancy. This is usually prohibited by airlines and strongly advised against by doctors. Palin's own doctor, Cathy Baldwin-Johnson, insisted (when she was prepared to talk to the press) that Palin did not ask her whether it was OK to fly. Many airlines bar pregnant women from flying in their final month of pregnancy because of the obvious risk of labor beginning mid-flight. But at eight months' pregnant with a special needs child, a child who would need special attention during any delivery, Palin flew a total of over 8,000 miles on commercial planes, risking a delivery in mid-air without a doctor or nurse, which could have been very dangerous and even fatal to her child.

Here's a basic timetable, put together from numerous sources which summarizes what we know. Times are a bit confusing since during the course of the trip, Sarah Palin would have also GAINED three hours, as she moved from Central Time in Texas to Alaskan Time in Anchorage.

April 17th - 4 a.m. Central Time - 1 a.m. Alaska Time - Gov. Palin calls physician to report signs of labor, specifically that she was leaking amniotic fluid.
April 17th - 12 noon (approximate) Central Time - 9 a.m. Alaska Time - Gov. Palin gives "luncheon" speech.) Leaves in such a hurry for the airport that the governor of Texas thought she was having the baby right then.
April 17th - 2:30 P.M. Central Time (11:30 - A.M. Alaska Time) (This is speculation, based on CURRENT Alaskan Airline schedule.) Flight leaves Dallas for Seattle.
April 17th - 4:40 PM Pacific Time (3:40 P.M - Alaska time) Flight arrives in Seattle. Since they gained two hours, this is actually a 4 hour and ten minutes flight.

April 17th- Numerous web sites state that Gov. Palin arrived in Anchorage "around 10:30." Based on current schedules, there are two flights that go from Seattle to Anchorage, one that leaves at 7 PM and arrives at 9:46, the other that leaves at 8 PM and arrives at 10:47. This gives a layover in Seattle of either two hours, ten minutes OR three hours ten minutes. It's impossible to say whether the schedule has changed since last April, but this is probably pretty close to what was in existence then. Departure times are in Pacific time, arrival times in Alaska Time. This is a 3 hour 45 minute flight.

April 17th - Approximate 10:30 Alaska time. Arrives Anchorage. This is now approximately 21 hours after initially calling her physician. Total time in air: 7 hours 55 minutes PLUS either a two hour or three hour layover in Seattle.

April 18th - Approximately midnight. Arrives Mat-Su Regional Center in Palmer Alaska, 23 hours after initially calling her physician.

April 18th - 6:30 a.m. Trig Paxson Van Palin is born weighting 6 pounds 2 oz.

bizarrely she drove

past the hospital with a neo-natal unit to get to a hospital that does not specialize in premature deliveries, where she ultimately gave birth to Trig Palin, her fifth son.

No, what doesn't make sense is the "Secular Socialist Kenyan Marxist Atheist Muslim who doesn't have a college transcript" part. Who said what you described, certainly not me?

You know what’s ironic? This website is loaded with banners and advertisements paid by Sarah Palin. So you all should thank her for allowing you to continue to spout your hate against her “free of charge.” I guess it just goes to prove she’s a far, far better person than...

if you observe the obvious contradictions you will note that I was being somewhat facetious.

However you have earned your tinfoil hat by going on about his college transcripts and asking what he has to hide like many of the other conspiracy mongers. I can't be bothered to go through your posts to show your other spurious claims and willingness to go along with the WND.net nonsense

So it doesn’t “bother” you to throw insults and innuendo at me (like so much is thrown against Sarah Palin here), but when called on it... you “can’t be bothered to go through your post.” Just trying to get the story clear, thanks.

You clearly have an almost pathological level of some imaginary persecution syndrome.

Based on your posting record and style, you deserve what you get. It's the same for everyone.

Deal with it.

Boards.ie ltd goes through a single advertising firm - I think just Google Adsense. They may occasionally get a special deal for one or two things but generally they don't have much control over what advertisements get displayed on here. You can email hello@boards.ie for more clarification.

Aside from that I donate directly to Boards.ie ltd. and as a subscriber I have the option to disable the advertisements.

But I applaud that limp attempt to try and - well, I'm not exactly sure what you were trying to accomplish. She certainly didn't browse the internet, find boards.ie and ask DeVore if she could pay to keep this site open. So I guess it just goes to prove... nothing about her. Nothing at all.

I don't think I've ever seen a Sarah Palin add on here. Maybe once, a long time ago, if then.

I'm guessing the ads displayed are tailored to the user based on their browsing history possibly? Maybe that's why Amerika feels Palin's active involvement in this site is far greater than that perceived by the rest of us. Or maybe there is some special source of information that is being directly transmitted that we aren't in the know about because of our simple mindedness.

Bachman is really stealing Palins thunder right now.

Imagine the paroxysms of all those poor souls suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome if Sarah Palin had said something this stupid.

Before abruptly abandoning the latest negotiations in a fit of pique, the president warned House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.): "Don't call my bluff."

This is what happens when he opens his mouth without a teleprompter in front of him. You betcha!

Man in negotiations stand off says "Don't call my bluff".

You'll have to explain what is so unusual about that. You're entitled to disagree with him but to compare it with Caribou Barbie's statements is grasping at straws.

I wonder if Palin could win the Republican nomination and then the presidential election by running a campaign that points out how all the other candidates are just as much halfwits as palin is.

This is a Youtube Video from Ray Stevens - One of her prominent supporters. Not supposed to be funny. But it is.

Well with Texas being the model for fiscal growth, maybe it’s time for a little crazy; rather than just settling on what we currently got... liberal, ignorant and stupid.

How incredibly stupid do you have to be to call a documentary about palin "the undefeated"???

Is it a joke? Is it possible they're so half witted that somehow they're reinterpreting the word "defeat" so that losing the election wasnt a "defeat"?

Or what? I have no other explanation.

LOL wut?

Texas' debt is growing at a faster rate than the US govt's!

For all the controversy over the national debt ceiling, here's a surprise: Since 2001, the debt load in conservative Texas has grown faster than the federal debt.

Texas has been borrowing more than most other states, too. And local entities, from cities to school districts to transit authorities, have been piling up even more debt.
From 2001 to 2010, state debt alone grew from $13.4 billion to $37.8 billion, according to the Texas Bond Review Board. That's an increase of 281 percent. Over the same time, the national debt rose almost 234 percent, with two wars, two tax cuts and stimulus spending.

And don't forget, those lazy Texan handout-addicts are begging the federal gov't for help, of all things, because they say they can't afford the bill from fighting their massive wildfires.
