... I've got nothin'.

[apocalypsos]

At an Ohio Right to Life fundraiser Friday night, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin once again defended the notes she wrote on her hand during last month's Tea Party Convention. She said she didn't have a good answer to media criticism at the time, but now she has one: God did it too.

A supporter sent her the biblical passage Isaiah 49:16: "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."

"If what was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us," Palin said. "In that passage he says, I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you. And I'm like okay, I'm in good company."


I don't want what amuses me more, that she seems to have no shame saying this in a public setting, or that according to her that passage means that an omnipotent all-powerful being needed to write someone's name on his hand to remember them.

Also, if I start a novel where two actresses have an affair and fight monsters in their spare time, I'm going to blame Sandra Bullock.

Yes, use the entity many of your voters do not actually believe in to defend your inabillity to remember shit. Was she going to write on her hand when President McCain sent her to visit the Head Cheese Of Importantcountrystan?

This argument would fly better if she'd known it was okay with The Big Sky Guy when she did it.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

I think that's hilarious, but I'm stuck in disbelief.

She is so fucking stupid. There, I've said it.

The passage says "engrave," not "scribble." So unless she hauls out the Swiss army knife and starts carving, I'm not gonna be impressed.
