LONDON: British author Salman Rushdie branded US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin as a "joke" Sunday and said naming her as Republican John McCain's running mate was a "colossal misjudgement".

isn’t there still a fatwah or something out on him for his book?
it’s hard for me to believe that he was married to padma (top chef). i wonder what they had in common?
> Salman Rushdie says VP pick Palin is ‘a joke’,
Actually the joke is that after 10 years, you’re still in hiding from the skeery Mooslums. Now that’s funny.
For the life of me why does anyone give a rats As* what Rushdie or for that matter what any Brit says. A good rule of thumb for getting things correct is to ask a Brit for advice and then do opposite of what they say. Then you will have a good chance of being correct.
Her beliefs and her son is fighting in your ‘hood allowing you to say ignorant things like that, sir.
Supporting Obama who is intent on meeting with and legitimizing Terrorist Ahmadinejad in the international community, and is the same guy that wants to murder you for writing a book.
Talk about “colossal misjudgement”.
It’s all about abortion. It’s always all about abortion.
Stand up, Salman!
You come from a loser country that is capitulating to Islam.
So, bite me.
He continues to write and be published, and makes numerous appearances to promote his books, as well as appears on television shows frequently. I’d hardly call him “in hiding”.
I wonder what Margaret Thatcher, who employed the British security services to save the Salman Rushdie who despised her, thinks of Gov. Palin.
Actually John Mccain is a joke. and salman your book, satanic verses was so much drivel, but I like the fact it infuriated the muzzies.
Salman Rushdie is a typical weasel leftist — happy to cower behind the protection of people who understand something about defending our freedoms — meanwhile he works with his band of termites to undermine the entire structure of freedom.
Go to Iran, Rushdie and see how long you last there — we’re tired of protecting your flabby butt when you are so obviously unworthy of the freedom you don’t deserve.
WOW!! What a man. Is he still hiding under his bead? Talking about throwing a rock on a hornets nest and running. If I knew where he was I think I’d call the folks at the mosque.
Yawn.....
For someone who wrote a book that STILL has people trying to kill him, I’m SO going to take HIS advice!
Oh and word of wisdom to Mr. SALMONELLA.... “check out what the good Governor did for Alaska in 18 months!”
As for firing ole’ Walt. He was disliked BEFORE she became the Governor! I lived in Alaska for 9 years. Still know a ton of people up there. He NEVER liked taking “orders” from women. As to Trooper Wooten, he’s a dangerous guy to be in a trooper car! And, if he was threatening my dad or father in law, taking a Taser gun, shooting Moose from his squad car (without a license), drinking on the job (again in the squad car) all tells me he’s ONE LOOSE CANNON. And that’s only a tip of the iceberg with regard to him. He did some nasty stuff to Gov. Palin’s sister, which is why she left him. Todd Palin was trying to protect his family. A dead father in law, or nephew would have been hard to live with.
She/ Gov. Palin couldn’t approach the personal stuff, so he and some staff members asked Monegan to do something about the loose cannon making threats and doing unthinkable acts.
But the weanie that he is, didn’t like that! Boo hoooooo
A Governor can remove any Department heads at her choosing when she comes on board. It’s too bad she didn’t get rid of that dirt ball on the git go. NO ONE like him.
Well, except our author in hiding perhaps! LOL
LOL
McCain is no joke. You will rue the day you said that if Obama wins. I hope you watched Sean Hannity tonight. And you realize the deaths on his hands in Kenya!
Who gives a flying *boop* what Salman Rushdie thinks?
Salman Rushdie is hiding from Muslims who want him dead.
Obama is a Muslim.
Obama wants to make friends with all Muslims, including those wanting to kill Salman Rushdie.
Stupid Rushdie. He wants Obama in office.
Some people are just too stupid to live.
Another Euro-Islamic heard from.
Rushdie should stick to writing novels critical of islam....
