Sarah's New Gig

Ugh...

Vulgar - Yes. Uninformed - Yes. Grating - Yes. Hot - Yes.

The depiction of a frumpy, long faced grandma is imprecise. Well I guess she is a grandma. A sexy grandma.

Actually this is a job for which Sarah Palin seems well suited. I wish her well.

Nice hack job, Clay. Even you are running scared of the lady...or maybe especially you.

And she hasn't even announced her candidacy. All that bad-mouthing of a non-candidate [yet!] shows the drawing power of the lady.

Methinks we have a winner here...behold our 2012 president!!

With Massachusetts' Sen Brown taking the drunk's place in the U.S. Senate, the march back to re-taking our government has begun.

That re-taking terrifies the socialist/communist elements among our leaders and their supporters...witness the senseless, rabid, groundless attacks on a woman -- attacks that come from those who equally rabidly supported a unmitigated socialist/wannabe communist.

Talk about double standards...Gov Palin's attackers think it is OK to be ruled by an unqualified, egotistical, verbally incompetent, late-term abortion supporting man -- but are terrified by the thought of being led by an experienced, executive-level, 100% woman who wears something besides a man's suit...one that does NOT support leaving abortion-surviving babies in a "Dirty Linen" closet to die alone, naked, unfed, and unloved. Her attackers are a real item, indeed.

Dear Leader is in Massachusetts today drumming up failing support; look for ACORN to follow shortly. The Dems have to win somehow, right? They are calling out the big guns. Pity they are spiked. Heh, heh.

Just what Fox needs, another mouthpiece. For all those out there that say they watch "unbiased" news, this should set the record straight. Listening to Palin sounds like listening to an untrained parrot. Is she really the best you right-wingers have to offer?

Always good to know that Fox has room for yet one more LOSER!!

Well, on the bright side, this most likely precludes her from the 2012 Presidential race. And if it doesn't, then God help us all, because it would open a door that can't be closed. Talking heads from both sides of the aisle would be encouraged to run for President. How divisive would that be?

EaTn, I loved the "...untrained parrot...." analogy. I am still chuckling over that one.

However, on the 'bright side', my earliest perspectives on Fox have now been confirmed.

Yes, the channel that gave us America's most dysfunctional (and that is an understatement, to say the least) family "The Simpsons", now offers us America's answer to why American's are so afraid of electing a woman president. Sarah Palin.

And, I don't mind that Fox gave her a job. I don't have to listen, there is a "mute" button, and I can 'tune' her out without waking up to her the next morning with a guilty conscience.

Besides, if history is any indication, she'll likely walk away one day and never be heard from again. We can only hope.

Wishing everyone a Sunday, never to be forgotten, Woody

samplegirl - funny you should call a highly successful woman a loser. What do you do that makes you such a winner? There are few things more ironic than the sight of "progressive" women sharpening their nails against a successful woman who dares to be conservative. This cartoon and the posts it has inspired from the Lefties out there are continued evidence of the Left's ridiculous fear of successful conservative women.

I sort of feel sorry for her.

I think she is being thrown to the front so the politicians and movers can carry on their backroom machinations, this being one of them.

I'd like to know what she thinks about Haiti. Has she expressed an opinion on that equal to Limpbow and Robberson?

Clara - would you honestly listen to her opinion on Haiti? or just hear what you wanted to hear anyway and then bash her answer?

Walden - you beat me to my comment - Thanks

Clay - please please don't get on the same rotation of toons you did in 2009. I'm guessing next one will be guns or global warming? or maybe spice it up with a Wamp??

Well said Rolando, Walden and wareagleash. One doesn't have to be a FoxNews or Palin fan to see the blatant and virile hypocrisy out of the mouths of the Lockstepper-Left here. The hostility and hatred are so palpable from those who know nothing of history, objective journalism and research, the Bible, commonsense and decency, that Clay's cartoon is awash in a putrid blast of hot air.

Incredibly ignorant, not hot, and no insight into anything relevant...makes her the perfect representative for most conservatives from this area.

Aren't the Kennedys America's most dysfunctional family? (They have lots of competition, to be sure.)
Imagine McCain elected in '08, drops dead, President Palin instead of President Obama. Would today's deficit be as big as BO's? Would a few moderate health care reforms be in place, rather than some radical monstrosity, not passed, not to take effect for a few years but gotta be done in a desperate hurry before the Democrats lose, of all senate seats, one in Massachusetts, showing that the demos--the people--hate what BO/Read/Pelosi are doing? (Mr Bennett, do you have a cartoon ready mocking the needless antipopulist haste, and one mocking the Democrats if they lose that seat? By the way, have you read Governor Palin's book? [I have not. Have you? Yes or no, please.])

Rolando says.."Methinks we have a winner here...behold our 2012 president!!" Please stop, you are keeping me in stitches, ROFLMAO. I guess you have no problem with a person who quits as the Gov of her state to grab as many dollars as she can. A person who has no idea of the world politically, geographically, philosophically, or historically outside of Alaska. A person who freezes up when asked the most basic questions that a high school civics student would know. A quitter and a whiner with no substance.

As far as being "terrified by the thought of being led by an experienced, executive-level, 100% woman who wears something besides a man's suit...", I assume you respect those qualities and probably supported Hillary for Prez??

Are Repubs really so desperate that Palin has become the standard bearer for your party? Are you truly sincere in believing that this woman is qualified in being the most powerful person in the world?

Never mind, Repubs loved their last Prez who was spouting the same diatribe as Palin is now. How did he work out for you and the country? Oh well, keep drinking that ole conservative Kool Aid.

Sarah as Prez?? You're kidding...right?

Rolando, I don't think Clay (or any of us on the left, for that matter) are 'running scared' of Sarah Palin. I can't imagine a better gift to the Democratic party than for the Republicans to nominate this vapid prom queen.

Ridicule is not reserved for those who pose the greatest threat. Sometimes it's directed at those who are merely the most ignorant. I think Sarah Palin falls into the latter category.

She couldn't (or wouldn't) even serve out her entire term as Governor of Alaska. So, what makes you think that this woman could be elected dogcatcher, let alone president. Unless, of course, the American people want a chief executive who doesn't know why there is a North and South Korea, can't find Germany on a map, or, in late 2008, thought Saddam Hussein was the mastermind of 9/11.

Palin's followers are passionate, no doubt, but their numbers are insignificant. She appeals to angry white folks who feel like they deserve better, but can’t seem to achieve it because those darn liberals, or the snooty intellectuals, or all those minorities demanding 'special' rights are conspiring against them. They're people who have no clue as to how or why their lives are in shambles, and have no better an idea as to how to clean up the mess.

This is the group that considers Sarah Palin as one of their own, but what they fail to realize is that she would avoid them all like a plague if she didn’t want their vote, or their money.

The votes of this embittered segment of our society won’t ever be enough to get Sarah Palin elected to anything, but their money will ultimately make her a very, very wealthy woman.

Walden opined: "...funny you should call a highly successful woman a loser."

What's funny is that you think that this loser named Sarah Palin is "highly successful".

I think this is an area of discussion where I must agree with the crazy left loony cool aid drinkers: this woman cannot be the best choice to run the executive branch of our government. This has nothing to do with her positions on various issues. It has to do with her ability to persuade others that her convictions are right.

She reminds me of a street preacher who screams on the corner while everyone else goes about their business. It is not enough to be right. You have to know why you are right and have an ability to argue persuasively that the other course of action is wrong. She is George Bush III. She only resonates well with the people who already agree with her.

She would be the worst thing that could happen to the conservative movement that is trying to pull itself up out of the neo-conservative quagmire. She energizes "the base" with pithy comments about community organizers and pitbulls with lipstick but I am afraid she ha very little substance to go along with that style. Just because Obama is only minimally qualified to President, why do need to elect another minimally qualified candidate?

Obviously Palin is a very popular and dynamic person with ability to draw crowds, and will probably be a hit with the conservative Fox viewers. I was amazed that she turned out to be an asset in the last election, and I won't rule out her future political career. On the other side of the coin, she is a polarizing figure that would not well serve the conservatives should she run for president. One day a woman will hold the office, but it is a far stretch of the imagination to think it would be Palin.

The purest of venom spat at Gov Palin, the newest news analyst at the highly successful Number-one-for-years-now cable news network, is the purest evidence of the fear she generates in the shriveled up hearts of the Liberal-Left. LMAO.

She isn't even running and they still blindly hate her. Their depth of hate for her is deeper and much blinder than my relatively shallow detestation for Dear Leader and all he stands for -- which certainly isn't America. You all know how I feel about him and it is a mere shadow of the unreasoning panic-stricken thought that they will be on the street next Nov.

Matter of fact, one of their number, snoopdiggitydog or something, is so frightened of her he can't even understand a simple post. To simplify it further for his benefit, I voted for Palin last election... unhappily along with the guy on the ticket with her -- you know, whosis, the RINO.

Rolando wrote: "The purest of venom spat at Gov Palin..."

The woman is no longer "Governor" of anything. She quit the job, or did you not get the memo?

"She isn't even running and they still blindly hate her."

Who has used the word "hate" when referring to her? No one.

Recognizing the fact that the woman has more air inside her cranium than brain, does not translate into "hate." Recognizing that there are pathetic people who think that she is a success at anything when facts clearly dictate a second look at such an opinion, doesn't translate into "hate" either.

I for one am praying that she does throw her hat in the ring. It will be fun to watch her go down in flames, long before election day. She can't begin to take the heat that will come down if she attempts to run for President.

"I voted for Palin last election... unhappily along with the guy on the ticket with her -- you know, whosis, the RINO."

I'm hardly surprised. Your problem is that you haven't event tried to dig into this woman's past, much less come to the realization that her political leanings and stances change with the wind.

And let's not forget the simple fact that had the woman not won a beauty pageant years ago, or had been handpicked by John McCain to appear on a national stage, she would be a complete nobody outside of the state of Alaska. It's noteworthy, in my opinion at least, that the woman appears to have been politically exiled in her own state.

Clearly, the fact that this woman has become a sort of "darling" among splintered factions of the Republican Party, with all her limits and lack of attributes that would qualify her for high office, only illustrate just how weak and fractured Republicans are at the moment.

They may grab a seat or two between now and 2012, but it will be quite some time before they regain control of this nation again.

To save precious minutes from your day, skip reading all comments on this cartoon. They are the same comments that have been posted for every Palin cartoon Clay has published. And there have been many, a disproportionate number for someone who apparently poses no threat.

Clay, is it permissable for Mrs. Palin to have any role in society? I'm just not sure what she should be doing since every action is so intensely scrutinized.

They may grab a seat or two?

Barack C-SPAN Obama and his policies don't seem to be helping Coakley in Massachusetts? If Massachusetts goes Republican, the rest of the country will be icing on the cake.

Myself, I've had it with both parties. The Republican party better get their "Conservative" act together. I'll vote Tea Party or Libertarian before I vote for any of the current Republicans in office again. No incumbents.

We need someone to represent "We the People" instead of me the politician.

I wouldn't have a problem voting for Palin at all. As a matter of fact, I would love to see Rhonda Thurman replace Zach Wamp.

I absolutely love this one, Clay.

Just Sarah

There is nothing wrong with the person,Sarah Palin,she is a representative,average American.She is spunky,attractive,but not particularly informed,just like the average American. Much of the criticism she receives is because,as a national political figure,she has moved beyond her reasonable range of competency and thereby draws ridicule.

On the other hand,we elected a President with an overwhelming intellect who seems to be a prisoner of the establishment,unable to soar as the break away leader so many in the world had hoped. Leadership is an elusive quality. Carter had the vision and knowledge without the leadership skills.

We are a nation in search of a new self identity,and a leader to help us define a new American vision.The search continues,but time is running short.

Republicans at one time had a perfect female candidate and one that I personally would have considered voting for.

She is intelligent, personable, unflappable, and easy on the eyes. I suspect that had she been asked about her favorite newspaper or magazine, world affairs, and such things as the founding fathers of this nation, her responses would have been quick, candid, and above all, interesting.

It's a shame that Condoleezza Rice had no interest in running for political office. I dare offer that had she or someone of that caliber been picked to run for Vice President last year, we'd be talking about President McCain.

While it may appear that I am a liberal at the moment, the fact is that my votes are actually cast for people whom I feel have the ability to weight important decisions carefully and who have the ability to do the job they are elected for.

I was very interested in seeing what Sarah Palin was all about, because nothing would please me more than for the Republican Party to bring in fresh faces to replace those who have ruined it by being non-negotiable and only in sync with the elite of this nation.

Unfortunately, during the following months, she exposed herself to be completely lacking in all qualities that would make her an effective leader. She's ticked off too many people in her own state and continues to be shrouded in controversy. And she runs for higher ground the minute she begins to lose a fight that she quite often starts.

I have a hard time admiring those kind of qualities. Others disagree.

Will she run for President in 2012? A few months ago, I'd have bet the answer to that question would have been a resounding "yes." I give her a 50/50 chance at the moment. I don't think that she even knows what she will do from day to day. She's having too much fun at the moment being a star.

I think the decision makers at Fox have some very deep political aspirations in mind by keeping her in the limelight. I think that they are setting up America to watch the absolute ultimate reality show ever broadcast, and they intend to re-mold her image like a piece of clay.

If it works, Fox will become the first network to have launched a President into office.

Imagine the implications of that for a moment. Scary.

Condi would never apply for the thankless job. She knows no Democrat would vote for a 100% black woman, especially a highly competent, experienced one such as she is -- except for the black bloc, maybe.

Besides, if you are for her she is automatically ruled out...you like-thinkers [the shallow ones and the MSM] are the guys who gave us whosis, the RINO.

BTW, the title "Governor" applies as a courtesy or an honorific -- just as "President" or "Congressman/woman" applies to former officeholders. It is for life. But you know little of courtesy...for instance, a president bowing to another head of state is NOT courtesy or even protocol. That is "obseisance".

I agree with this cartoon 100%. She is not so bad to look at but listening to her makes me frustrated. So the Mute button is a good compromise.

Some of you get way too fired up over cartoons. You should get more fired up about what's actually going on in this country every day. Then, get up out of your chairs and do something instead of sitting there at your computer hiding from the world.

Clay,

Why not use the same Palin setting except with this slight change. Have Obama with the big ears holding a tv remote pointing it a Brian Lamb. Keep the same MUTE on the screen. Bet you won't!

Tater, If it made any sense to do so, I'm sure Clay would have done it.

Actually, from reading Lamb's biography on Wikipedia, I'd like to call him a friend.

Unfortunately, since I've not had a TV for more than 33 years, I've not had a chance to view him or C-Span.

You've got that VERY backwards. Republicans are the party that has consistently resisted black candidates. They've got their tokens, but unless they fall lockstep behind the conservative agenda, they are ostracized and overwhelmingly rejected.

"Besides, if you are for her she is automatically ruled out...you like-thinkers [the shallow ones and the MSM] are the guys who gave us whosis, the RINO."

Rolando, I am hardly shallow. I dig for the details on just about EVERY candidate I vote for, be they national or local.

"BTW, the title "Governor" applies as a courtesy or an honorific -- just as "President" or "Congressman/woman" applies to former officeholders. It is for life. But you know little of courtesy...for instance, a president bowing to another head of state is NOT courtesy or even protocol."

The woman quit her position while under fire, and thus is not entitled, in my opinion, to retain her title. I'd have far more respect for the woman had she stuck it out and fought all the accusations that were leveled her way.

Sarah Palin is trying to fast track her way up a ladder. The only thing is, no one can really figure out at the moment where she is exactly attempting to go.

The only consistent thing she has done is to seek out cameras in order to put on performances. Perhaps a movie is in her future. Who knows?

You are deadly wrong again, alprova. You make a habit of it..."dig for details", indeed.

The least bit of research [do your own!] shows the Democrats were and are in the forefront in "keeping the black man on the plantation" by year after year denying him equal rights with whites, totally opposing en bloc the Civil Rights Act of 1964, et al, and even today making him a ward of the government figuratively unable to tie his own shoes without government assistance. Democrats have -- through discredited, racist Eugenics programs -- committed genocide through their selective abortion programs aimed specifically at blacks, and their so-called welfare programs that force a man to leave his family and destroy its cohesion by making it totally dependent on government handouts.

Over and over again they do this...then, without batting an eye or stumbling over the blatant lie, blame it on Republicans! And the blacks believe them! Even to the point of figuratively fastening the slave-collar around their own necks.

Oh yeah, you guys have done a really outstanding job of destroying the black man's self-esteem and making him feel worthless as a man and as a human being. I must give you that. P.S. Those aren't government Democrats helping the Haitians...they are plain old private-citizen Americans doing what they do best -- helping those in need.

Democrats also have an excellent Big Lie going...they put the old-time Nazis and Russians to shame. All they do is blame the Republicans. Over and over and over.......and over.

Yeah, Sarah was "under fire", alright...by Democrats scraping up innuendo, rumor, or plain old made up lies and unfounded accusations, none of which were ever proven, upheld, prosecuted, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Get that? NONE of them. That wasn't "under fire", that was political assassination. Although unheard of in Democrat circles, sometimes Americans DO do things for the good of the country. Sarah is one of those people...as opposed to Dear Leader, for instance.

But that's OK...Sarah now has the largest bully pulpit of all...FoxNews. Watch the Courics, the Tina whatsherface's, and the other loudmouth idiots and talking heads run for cover.

Sarah can now, without MSM mis-quotes, etc, directly answer all those snide remarks, all those nasty comments about her children, all those perverted sexual remarks about her underage daughters, etc...you know, the usual suspects making their usual nasty comments.

Excerpt from Condi Rice speech. It's ashame alprova refers to her as a token:

The first Republican that I knew was my father John Rice. And he is still the Republican that I admire most. My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did.

I want you to know--I want you to know that my father has never forgotten that day, and neither have I.

I joined the party for different reasons. I found a party that sees me as an individual, not as part of a group. I found a party that puts family first. I found a party that has love of liberty at its core, and I found a party that believes that peace begins with strength.

1964 Civil Rights Act Vote By Party and Region The Original House Version:

Southern Democrats: 7-87 (seven percent-93 percent) Southern Republicans: 0-10 (zero percent-100 percent) Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94 percent-six percent) Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85 percent-15 percent) The Senate Version:

Southern Democrats: 1-20 (five percent-95 percent) Southern Republicans: 0-1 (zero percent-100 percent) Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98 percent-2 percent) Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84 percent-16 percent)

Original vote count aside, it was the Republican, NOT the Dem Party that devised and enacted the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and it is the Dems (like in a small town in Virginia) who recently forced the CRA on the resident majority Blacks-to vote the DNP ticket-when they preferred to vote the RNP ticket. Like they do in many precincts across the nation-LA, Detroit, Chicago, Philly-to the Latinos as well, complete coercion and manipulation, coupled with Black Panther thuggery. And Rolando is correct below on the other points, (preach, Brother preach).

Oz: very good quote from Condi. I love her and her tough, no nonsense spirit. She is brilliant and full of grace. She obviously did not agree with everything Bush and friends enacted or said (like many of us), but she knew her duty was to her country and to its people. The MSM (led by the Left-Progressives) ridiculed her, then ignored anything worthwhile she had to say. She wanted to coach football and loved teaching, so back to teaching she went. Whoever her students are, are incredibly blessed. She is a Conservative intellectual of the highest order and Sarah is a down-to-earth, Conservative woman with a heart of gold and a big mouth that brought down corrupt Alaskan Repubs and Dems alike. That's why these women are hated, villified and ridiculed, because they actually accomplished something worthwhile.

(Would any of the PC-Left crowd here and elsewhere DARE to criticize Big Mouths: Maxine Waters, Valerie Jarrett, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi et al, all Dunderheads of the highest order?). But guess who will get the last laugh, we may see Justice in our own time.

The reasons I don't have any respect for her is because she is vindictive, insincere, hypocritical, arrogant, manipulative, and condescending. Very few people who worked with her in Alaska had anything good to say about her- in politics or personally. Her absolute hypocracy at backing abstinance only policy backfired when the truth about her daughter got out. Then to make matters worse they trotted out the baby's father in an obvious attempt at a shot gun wedding. Then she whined about the media attention her family received. She was the one who put her family on the pedistal for" Family Values." She is the one that let her family become the sacrificial lamb for her political ambitions.

Tsk ozzy, lots of hatred and vitriol, little to no comments from the 'facts' department. She's not president or running, yet, so what do you fear and loathe her for? Seems to many of us, your kind should be checking out and keeping tabs on your people in the WH and Congress right about now. Plenty of hypocrites, liars, phonies, manipulators, condescenders and just plain hate-the-masses-and-want-to-rip-them-off-big-time Gollums there to keep you all busy for the next two or three generations. When all yours and your kids money is gone then maybe you'll see that compared to the aforementioned, Sarah is a Nun and her family compound is the Nunnery.

On the opposite side of the same coin, I trust Hillary Clinton as far as I could throw her. She has too many ties to corporate America for my taste. President Obama wasn't my first choice either. Didn't the Dems learn anything from what happened in '94 with Hillarycare? It cost them majorities in the House and the Senate. Both sides are corrupt when it comes to corporate money.

Yes.

I like this cartoon.....and the one Clay's drawn.
