Who said the Bush Administration's departure from the White House would result in a lack of material!? Sarah Palin, as a regular "everywoman," provides more comedic gold in 1 sentence, than all of Obama's gaffes thus far.

It's a great time to be a comedian! Is there like a RSS feed for everything Palin says? I want to start writing up to the minute jokes.

If Palin is so funny to you then why don't you set the same thing up for Joe Biden....? He seems to get a pass from you leftists and the media.... I wonder why...? Chris

"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." --Joe Biden

"A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!" --Joe Biden, at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama (Watch video clip)

"If your kitchen table is like mine, you sit there at night before you put the kids to bed and you talk about what you need. You talk about how much you are worried about being able to pay the bills. Ladies and gentlemen, that is not a worry John McCain has to worry about. It's a pretty hard experience. He'll have to figure out which of the seven kitchen tables to sit at." --Joe Biden

"There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb, and 9/11." --Joe Biden, on Rudy Giuliani (Watch video clip)

"I should start with an apology to Rudy Giuliani. I said every sentence Rudy utters has a noun, a verb, and 9/11 in it. I was wrong. He called me to tell me after Pat Robertson's endorsement, there's an Amen in every sentence he says too." --Joe Biden

"Yes." --Joe Biden, giving a one-word answer during a Democratic debate to NBC Anchor Brian Wiliams, who cited criticism of Biden's "uncontrolled verbosity" and tendency to be a “gaffe machine” in asking whether he would "have the discipline you would need on the world stage"

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." --Joe Biden on Barack Obama

"I got tested for AIDS. I know Barack got tested for AIDS. There's no shame in being tested for AIDS. It's an important thing."

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." --Joe Biden

A politician whose actions contradicts their words and beliefs are genuine and true politician. THis "syndrome" is shared by most politicians of all parties.

Of course we don't want to. We want to combine the BEST of public health care with the BEST of private healthcare.

Seeing's how we're #37 (France is #1), we should be lifting the best ideas from countries 1 through 36.

But some people are so prejudiced against anything that's done in other countries, they refuse to consider new ideas. We have become a very close-minded, parochial country.

France is #1...?

come on ... it's been widely reported that the way the French do emergency treatment is not the best... I call your attention to the Princess Diana who got into a bad car accident.. you remember that one...?

Yeah, it's obviously the fault of socialized medicine.

If you remember, America's practice on handling that situation and France's differs. In America we try to get the patient to the hospital ASAP where they have all the equipment needed to treat the person. In France they try to stabilize the patient first, then transport.

While the American approach makes more sense to me, the French may have a very good reason for their practice. The systems are just different.

I work with a French national. I'll ask him about this next week. By the way, he prefers the American medical system, but he is shocked by the high cost.

You are correct... I remember watching coverage of this story and it was widely reported here that they think she would have been saved had she been taken to the hostipal sooner...

As for the costs... well the reason it's "cheaper" is that they have higher taxes on everything else... and that's what funds all their "social programs".. what does gas cost there..? and this is what is coming here...

They are going to increase coverage to folks who don't pay now, including illegal aliens... and spread it around to the rest of us...

I've been to the doctor recently and I can tell you that I think my plan at Kaiser is great... and yea it's expensive...

and....Yea I have a "co-pay" too in addition to the monthly bill... but I can't believe how well I have been treated...

Because we're talking about Sarah Palin. Why does Sarah Palin get a pass from you rightists and the media? I wonder why...?

"Because we're talking about Sarah Palin."

Right. The whole supposition by those wailing about Sarah Palin and her health care "inconsistencies" was debunked earlier in this thread. So the reason we are talking about her is because of an incorrect premise from a PDS induced article. So in essence, she is not "getting a pass," there never should have been an issue in the first place...
