My chainses feel just fine. Actually, wait - no, they suck!
For an entire menagerie of bizarre, see the flickr group.
And to get rid of that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach, go here. (Hipster Schnug)
Katie Couric asked both Joe Biden and Sarah “Joe Six-pack American” Palin how they felt about Roe V. Wade.
As you might imagine, Palin’s “answer” to the question, “What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?” is “insane” and “horrifying” and no matter your political slant “totally stupid.”
Follow the babbling for yourself.
Couric Why, in your view, is Roe v. Wade a bad decision?
Sarah Palin: I think it should be a states’ issue not a federal government-mandated, mandating yes or no on such an important issue. I’m, in that sense, a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas. Now, foundationally, also, though, it’s no secret that I’m pro-life that I believe in a culture of life is very important for this country. Personally that’s what I would like to see, um, further embraced by America.
Couric: Do you think there’s an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution?
Palin: I do. Yeah, I do.
Couric: The cornerstone of Roe v. Wade.
Palin: I do. And I believe that individual states can best handle what the people within the different constituencies in the 50 states would like to see their will ushered in an issue like that.
Couric: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?
Palin: Well, let’s see. There’s, of course in the great history of America there have been rulings, that’s never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but …
Couric: Can you think of any?
Palin: Well, I could think of … any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But, you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a vice president, if I’m so privileged to serve, wouldn’t be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.
I’ll say it again – wtf?
Her staccato-of-sass delivery may or may not fool you, but I dare you to diagram one, complete sentence in that entire exchange.
