LAS VEGAS – Sarah Palin ridiculed President Barack Obama at a conservative bloggers conference Friday for his “cocaine snorting” and eating dog as a child.
“That cocaine snorting, and what he ate — Fido? Rufus?” the former Alaska governor said, alluding to Obama’s memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” in which he admits both to cocaine use and being served dog by his stepfather in Indonesia. “I think it’s funny that the cocktail circuit gives me a hard time for eating elk and moose. Anybody here have a pet moose? There’s a difference.”
It was part of a 30-minute speech at the RightOnline conference, in which she criticized the “permanent political class” and the “lamestream media” while applauding conservative bloggers for doing “what too many people in the old media won’t do, can’t do, and that’s tell the truth.”
“The role of new media is more fundamental than just a force for organizing,” Palin told hundreds of bloggers in a conference room at conservative donor Sheldon Adelson’s Venetian hotel. “New media has become a force for activism and information. You do what too many people in the old media won’t do, can’t do, and that’s tell the truth.”
Palin also got a little cheeky, making a pun about polls and poles in Vegas.
“Here we are in Vegas — in Washington, too — they talk a lot about polls. There are a lot of poles in Vegas,” said Palin, referring to strip club poles before addressing the president’s poll numbers. “There is a reason that the figures in those polls are augmented too.” The pun inspired cheers and laughter from the crowd...

Regarding your “asshat” comment, the “asshat” won the Republican Primaries, so the “asshat” will be the guy running against the Communist.
With those two choices, especially seeing what Obama has just pulled off with Amnesty, it's “asshat” 1, Communist 0 as far as my Vote in November.
Do what you will my FRiend, but another four years of Obama is simply unacceptable if this Country has any chance of surviving as a Constitutional Republic. The three SCOTUS Appointments that Obama will make in his next term will assure our destruction as a Free People.
As my dear Mother used to tell me, not making a choice is making a choice. Choose to not Vote for President, Vote for a Third Party (guaranteed loser) or Write In (guaranteed loser) and the result will be the same, Obama’s second term.
Love your idea, and believe me, I'd love to see it happen, but I've got to say that the only flaw in your scenario, is that you correctly identify Sarah Palin as the 50,000 megawatt electromagnet that pulls everyone together, but only to hand it off to Newt Gingrich.
Personally, I think that's backwards and counter-intuitive. If Newt should rightfully lead the nation back to sanity, then he ought to be that electromagnet that pulls everyone together, not Sarah.
But, do you think he can? I wouldn't bet on it. No, the brightest star in our pantheon is the natural choice, as far as I'm concerned. She's the only one who has what it takes to ignite our people to action and bring us all together. She's the Reagan of our era, and should be our presidential nominee.
It was a great speech and sure to cause much lefty angst. She put Obama down brilliantly with humor and ridicule, which lefties cannot stand.
Wife and I laughed our butts off throughout.
I see boobs are stilll putting her down, while they do....NOTHING.
Uh, brevity is the art of making a point.
No offense, but that notion is patently absurd. Romney is an abject liberal, and has done nothing in his political life but work against everything that Sarah believes in.
She'd have to betray every one of her core principles to support or endorse him, and that's very unlikely to happen.
four years of ORomney is simply unacceptable also.
True he may not hate our nation as much as Hussein, but that's not enough.
He's gonna Hoover US, and pave the way for Cankels to save the day!
“Cankles” will be around in 2016 no matter who wins in November. As I said in my original Post, it's Asshat (1), Communist (0).
The Republican Primary process chose a winner and I follow the Levin Rule, you Vote your Candidate in the Primary and you Vote your Party's Candidate in the General. To do otherwise hands your opponent unchecked power for the next four years which will result in a Progressive Repressive Regressive Supreme Court for generations to come.
It's your Vote or Non-Vote, so do as you see fit.
May God bless you and yours for each and every word and graphic of a magnificent post!
I have yet to see ANYTHING from you or any other Romney cheerleader (and admit it that is what you have decided to become) that advances ANY REASON whatsoever to believe that Romney's choices for SCOTUS or any other court would be any better than Obozo's. Remember that Earl Warren, William Brennan (himself a Demonrat), Potter Stewart, Herod Blackmun, Lewis Powell, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, David "Swish" Souter were all GOP nominees. Nixon also named G. Harold Carswell who was later arrested, ummmm, on his knees in a country club men's room but we were assured by the Trickster on Carswell's nomination that he was a dependable "conservative", at least as that term is understood by Romney's GOP-E polo club buddies.
Take a look at today's WaPo and today's George Will column on court appointments. Then find the link for Romney's judicial appointment track record in Massachusetts (a 5 page WaPo very detailed article by some staff writer). Brush up on history and weep for your fraud of a candidate. It does not matter that you like Gingrich and Palin if you are willing to sell the republic down the river.
As of now, CONSERVATIVES have LOST this election IF Romney is nominated. It just does not matter whether the next POTUS is Romney or Obozo: ideological brothers separated at birth. BOTH must be politically destroyed. NEITHER is acceptable. The time for militant resistance is at hand (BEFORE the election as well as after).
That is why the republic faces imminent death. We knew that Obozo would be renominated by his, ummm, comrades, but who would EVER have imagined that the ubercorrupt Romney could possibly use the anonymous shadow funding of his fellow Wall Street unprincipled corruptocrats to BUY the GOP nomination via a relentless campaign of lies, slanders, and libels against each and every decent candidate for the GOP nomination, aided and abetted by the GOP's stupidity in allowing the lame stream media enemies to control the debates and coverage? It is time for actual conservatives and actual Republicans to walk away unless the GOP National convention revolts and nominates an acceptable ticket (one that does NOT include Myth Romney or any other lying whore like him).
Return to paragraph 1 and accept the challenge to actually explain why Romney's appointments to courts can be expected to be any better than Obozo's OR stop emulating your hero by repeating his lies.
You have this right. Sarah for POTUS as the GOP candidate. Let Gingrich function as VP and Chief of Staff and attack dog.
Sarah may be forced to support Romney. I certainly hope that she won’t touch that despicable leftist SOB with a ten-foot pole. WHY SHOULD Sarah allow herself to be USED???? Romney will NEVER benefit from the conservative spirit of Americanism. Romney would not recognize it if it were to bite him in the ass which it will IF he is nominated.
WHY SHOULD Sarah allow herself to be USED????
:::::::::::
Simply to achieve the goal — GET OBAMA OUT.
It is not about Romney, it is about getting rid of Obama.
If he gets re-elected, NOTHING else will matter.
Thank you for that recognition, friend. I'm quite proud to remain standing with those who do more than pay lip service to our country, Founding Principles, core beliefs, and our beloved Constitution.
Good Grief! WTH aren’t YOU running? Fantastic!
This story shall the good man teach his son ...
My Shakespeare is limited, I have a hard time undestanding him. For the first time, I "get" the St. Crispian's Day speech.
All the more poignant because this is my first Father's Day without my dad to yak with. In this most profound of elections, I don't have him to consult with, and he was a Thomas Sowell-like thinker. TS was his #1 living favorite.
So I can only consult my own gut, brain, heart, and values. They've been most influenced by the best, most moral political mind I've known and loved.
Sarah either chooses to do one thing, or another. She's got a brain. Either she'll make the right choice, or not.
——Still the only political speaker who gets my pulse to race, and instill a sense of all-out vigor and optimism in me, since the 1980s and Ronald Reagan.——
Ditto.
It hurts to think of what might have been.
