Yipes! Lets hope not!!!

All hail Mooselini!

My opinon means nothing

Shudder the thought! Hey, maybe she'll tell us just what she reads! (Although I think its The National Enquirer!)

If this actually happens, I think I'll get a gun and shoot myself... :-P

The putative Palin Administration looks far better than the one we've got. There aren't any tax evaders, gropers, and truthers, and the names of the various czars actually make some sense.

Of course, the truthfulness of Mr. Danzinger's cartoon is easily evident in his choice for Palin's Vice President -- Ugly Betty. Mr. Danzinger might want to check out the politics of America Ferrera, who played Ugly Betty; like most of the Hollywood set, she's an enthusiastic Barack Obama supporter. I guess Mr. Danzinger can update his cartoon to choose some other supposedly ugly female to be Vice President.

As for Palin shooting from AF1, she's a good enough shot that she doesn't need 18 holes per day to get it right. I really feel sorry for Mr. Obama's golf balls -- they are never shot properly.

President Palin. Life would be good. The end of the liberal influence in the US is the stuff of wonderful dreams. And those dreams will soon be reality.

Liberals are the problem. 2012. Solve the problem.

Jim

Just think of all those liberals making good on their threat to leave this country, or like Orin, commit sucide. Remember Alec Baldwin and his threat to leave this country if George Bush was elected? All talk, no action. Typical of their ilk.

To Orin, I'll load it for you.

Palin wouldn't seem so bad were in not for her utter lack of intelligence. She could not ask a simple question as to what newspapers and magazines she reads to help form her opinion on things that a president needs to deal with on a daily basis. She could not recount ONE newspaper or magazine, and then she blames katie Couric and the "Lamestream media" for an "ambush" interview. What a joke. If she had the brains to be president, people would take her seriously, but people won't cause she don't.

The only fact is under the cartoon: "Political cartoonist Jeff Danziger lives in New York City and is a frequent contributor to the Huffington Post." Huffington Post....enough said.

Bob believes in basic babbling

No Michele Bachmann? Of course not, there's no room for two dim-witted Divas who could not find their way out of a paper bag if their head were caught in one.

glenn grab

all of them are more competent than Eric Holder, our Attorney General who knows next to nothing about the laws or the history of the US....try the terrorists in a civilian court? how's that working out for you, Eric??!!!...how about your great Mafia raid, why is that never heard about any more?,,,,I'll tell you why..... you blew it, it was just a publicity stunt to draw attention away from your idiotic plans to rid of Guantanamo prison...the media will help you as much as they can, but you're still a left-wing moron...big mouth, no brains...you're not qualified to appear in small claims court!!

maandrews

The point guard and immigration service appointments sound perfect to me!

jose mairena

funny, how this simple woman pushes you guys button.

jose mairena

i see all the comments below and apply it against what we have in the white house presently; she would come looking 100% much better.

Patrick O'Neill

I'm not surprised that idiots love and defend her. If an illiterate, completely incompetent person can become famous, then there's hope for all the other incompetent morons out there. She absolves them of the need to have intelligence. She is the patron saint of the idiot.

JohnRJ08

Left out Todd Palin as National Security Advisor and Inspector Closeau as the head of the FBI.

Goeasy0

Typical drivel from the left, whoever replaces our current ADHD President in 2012 will be better than the man/child we have now.

affableman

unclesmrgol,

I wasn't going to comment until I saw yours. A good shot? Yeah, right. She took six shots to bring down a caribou that was just standing there. It didn't look like she'd hunted in her life.

Since you'll buy anything, I've got some nice ocean front property over in Arizona...

TexanPatriot

Come on you give her too much credit. It won't happen. Obama will just pull Directive 10-289 out of his shorts and implement it...see? No more freedom, no more elections, no more problems. Socialist Utopia for everybody! Whooopeee! Puppy dogs and pink cake for all! Nobody has to think for themselves anymore, your caring government will take care of you all.

xexon

Where are all the zionist Jews?

You can't have a presidential cabinet without them now or didn't you get the memo 30 years ago?

LOL! Thanks, Jeff Danziger. If Sarah Palin is elected President next time, the world might as well end on 12-21-2012.

Problem for the clowns like Danziger is that by unloading everything onto Palin any additional vitriol will be ignored i.e. 'There he goes again...' Also note his own self-loathing of his Jewish heritage

http://danzigercartoons.com/?m=201101

This tells you this poor fool has a bunch of 'sybills' in his cabeza best of all is his patented depictions of anyone he hates with asian eyes - one kmight guess Jeff's stint as a 'linguist' in 'nam made him very paranoid of all things outside the occident.

Almost forgot - what ever happened to Michael Ramirez or is this the Times way of cutting down expenses?

If only Jack were still here.....Jeff could have him 'holding a paper with his back to us and intoning his (Jack's) angst at what has transpired nearly 50 years since he was so quickly removed from us....why?....if only.....Jeff...Jack....Herblock......Ed Murrow.....Wallie world....Lord Jennings.....Teddy in the outhouse.....

Loving it!

"President Palin. Life would be good. The end of the liberal influence in the US is the stuff of wonderful dreams. And those dreams will soon be reality.

Liberals are the problem. 2012. Solve the problem."

I'll vote for Palin- anything for a good laugh...if this dingbat wins then it will be fun again with an idiot in the Whitehouse- like Bush...GO SARAH GO!!!!

Truth

Hey, I didn't vote for that disaster in the WH.

I yell it from the mountain tops everyday

I voted for Sarah Palin.

Native Angeleno

Mooselini!

IT ALL MATTERS

How could she do any worse than we have right now? Heck! At least America would know where she stands on all issues. No more wishy-washy, don't know exactly what and where NOBAMA stands. She is more than a community organizer. Governors actually make decisions and run an entire state. Tired of the slanderous comments against Palin - she has been correct on so many counts that it just irritates the liberals to no end. Go SARAH! and irritate the LIBS all you want - they are sooo easy and so vitriolic.
Keep pushing their buttons. Makes them look so pathetic.

Dilissa Milburn

You should really try listening to her speak substantively instead of using your ever-shrinking forum to attack her. She is strong on energy, foreign policy and the economic condition of our country. She believes in constitutional conservatism and is the least likely perpetrator of cronyism. Check her record and cease the personal attacks. Please?

Kim

More trying to damage Palin liberal guys showing more be scared about Palin!

xexon

Balderdash.

Palin is a hollowheaded automaton. Programmable.

Just like Ronald Reagan was. The NWO crowd have held the Whitehouse ever since.

Goeasy0

Darn! I missed the one on Obama's second term.

CHOAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Historylover77

Just what we need:

A Quitter who could not even
finish 1 term as Governor of Alaska, before
quitting and running home.

The GOP Party of Wall Street needs a new puppet(Palin)
so it can complete the job of bankrupting the country
and destroying the USA as a world economic power.
The GOP loves appealing to the simpleton voters,
a stooge frontperson, and then stealing the country blind.

If Americans are stupid enough to fall for this load
of manure and elect this woman president, then
America deserves what it will get:
a complete implosion of the USA economic system
into utter bankruptcy and chaos fueled by the
next Wall Street bubble and crash
with Palin freaking out and quitting in the middle
of the crisis just like she did in Alaska.

Downtown LA

It's not that liberals are scared of Palin. It's quite the opposite. We actually welcome her presence because it makes all Republicans and conservatives look like idiots. The downside is that Palin makes Americans look like a bunch of nitwits to the rest of the world.

Liberals are scared of her lack of intelligence and thereby the choices she will make in running the USA. Come on, are you conservatives serious? This woman has the intelligence to run our country? There should be an IQ test and general intelligence test for all potential presidential candidates. If we did that IQ test for all voters, there would not be many conservatives! (i.e. just read the unintelligible posts from Palin supportors)

The dumbing down of America has finally begun, and that's what scares me. There is a huge divide between the educated class and the uneducated morons who support other morons.

Krunch1

Just another cheap shot from the left!

Why is the left so afraid of Palin?

Charlotte Tyler

Nice try. There is so much that you idiots are missing about Palin; I can hardly wait to prove you knuckle-draggers wrong. One thing's for sure: she is going to have to clean up the mess your 1-term con-artist vacation boy is creating.

radargeek

Oh yeah, we are the idiots went we love a person who loves this country. You are the smart-guys when you love a suit who hates this country. Enough said-snip!

Jim

Ha Ha Ha You have got to love how much Sarah Palin is feared by the Left.

Jim

@Downtown LA

Your post is a perfect example of why more then 52% of Americans, many of whom used to consider themselves Moderate to Liberal, now identify themselves as "just right of center".

The Left has lost average, middle class, wage earners by 1.) Ignoring them in any conversation about which direction the country should be headed in.
2.) Assuming an "Ellitist" persona, by denigrating everyone who has a different opinion from the ultra-left.

It is extremely possible, the hijacking of the democratic party by the ultra-liberal 5%, may make a 2nd term by President Obama, almost an impossibility.

Based on 90 percent of the comments here, Idiocracy has arrived. The Repugnants were wise to dumb down education over the last three decades - it worked! We now have a sizable percentage of the population that are a bunch of uneducated, willfully ignorant, bible-believin', nature-hatin', xenophobic simpletons. Can't wait til California can secede and get away from you fat dopes in Flyoversville.
