(Sort of a) caption contest

Someone’s noticed that during her recent Tea Party speech Palin had “Energy”, “Tax,” and “Lift Americans Spirits” written on her hand – she used it to crib from when questioned about Republican priorities.

A spy pic from the House yesterday suggests that Key’s taken a leaf out of Palin’s book. Any ideas what it says?

    If this didn’t actually happen, then you need something saying that. At the very least this should be tagged “Humour”.

    [lprent: that is pretty much up to the author. ]

    At least they can put the comments on their hands, they don’t need a telepmompter like Obama which carries a lot more info as he talks more BS.

    But all in all big deal, woopy, what a game breaker.

      Is this some sort of political correctness thing?

      “All intent must be clearly labelled, lest the easily confused know not what to think”

      fuck that.

        Not at all PB. AYB said that it was true, which it clearly is not. I am fine with a joke or two, and it does make a good caption contest, but be truthful about it, call it what it is.

            PB, AYB has claimed this is a true photo. It is not. He should admit that.

            [lprent: No he did not claim that – I just reread the post to be sure. You either have a reading deficiency or you’re lying. Which is it? Remember I don’t allow direct attacks on authors. ]

                PB, I doubt that. I guess lying is OK now huh?

                Felix- “A spy pic from the House yesterday suggests that Key’s taken a leaf out of Palin’s book.”

                What do you think that means?

                [lprent: You certainly seem to be lying further up claiming about what a_y_b said. But I guess that doesn’t count in your moral universe? ]

                Lukas.

                It obviously all means that at least some of the standardistas are in cahoots with evil foreign overlords who have infiltrated parliament with boxes full of whiz bang spywear, the results of which are being passed on to ‘thestandard’ for dissemination with the intent of fomenting disquiet and revolution.

                Or it might less obviously mean something else entirely.

                Whadyareckon?

                oh, you mean just like the media are in cahoots to get the left, Bush planned 9/11 and John Key is secretly controlled by people in the US?

      For absolutely no reason I could discern, that was also the first thing that came to my mind.

      I’m not sure whether that means we’re particularly perceptive, marty, or that we’re both in need of some intensive psychoanalysis.

    1. 18.1

      Evidently some are Scott, yes.

      Remember that one about a “National cycleway” being the basis for economic recovery and job creation?

    1. 20.1

      Yeah, though when Obama had that televised meeting with GOP congress critters, he didn’t need a prompter to eat their lunch.

      They won’t be doing that again in a hurry.

        1. 20.1.1.1

          Nah I only said she doesn’t need a ‘prompter. I was wrong though, using one would probably help.

          But I guess 30 words a minute makes for a pretty dull speech.

          1. 20.1.1.1.1

            Come on now PB, you almost let your guard down. admit it, you think Sarah is HOT!!!!

            But, is she HOT!!! enough for you to bat for the other side?

      1. 20.2.1

        Don’t think I would go thaaaat far.

        But at least with good looking politicians, if you don’t like what they are saying, you can turn the sound off!
