(((SARAH PALIN KISSES)))

Tuesday afternoon on The Laura Ingraham Show, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took a swing at her former running mate, Sen. John McCain, after he likened the tea party movement to hobbits from the Lord of the Rings series.
Though host Laura Ingraham referred to McCain’s words as “recent,” they were actually from a House speech in 2011, after that year’s debt ceiling crisis. Republicans who “failed to raise the debt ceiling” could escape all the blame, and “the tea party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor,” the senator mocked. “This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into GOP Senate nominees.”
“I’m a hobbit then,” Palin retorted Tuesday. “I’m a proud hobbit then.”
“The tea party movement, it’s not a party,” she continued. “If the GOP machine continues to try to marginalize that tea party patriot, who is doing all the hard work to get Republicans re-elected, then the establishment will go the way of the Whigs.”
Palin warned that such rhetoric could cause an even greater surge in grassroots outrage towards the mainstream Republican Party.
“The establishment within the major political parties in our nation, the self-proclaimed best and brightest, have been calling the shots for far too long,” she concluded, “and they’ve gotten us into the problems that we’re facing today.”

Yep, at the end all of middle earth gave them what passed then for a standing ovation. So McCain is again blowing-off on things he knows nothing about while guys like Cruz get several- minute standing ovations.
That’s got to be tough for Juan, lining his pocket with La Raza/union/Ch. Of Commerce money and not being able to deliver.
I'll stand with Gov. Palin in declaring myself to be a "hobbit" as well. (When they're green in the spring, parts of the Flint Hills of Kansas look remarkably like the Shire.)
And Aragorn said, “Let Mithrandir set (the crown) upon my head, if he will; for he has been the mover of all that has been accomplished, and this is his victory”.
And Frodo would never have been motivated to leave the Shire without Mithrandir.
Mithrandir refused the Ring. Frodo at the very end, claimed it for his own.
You’re quoting Jackson. I’m quoting Tolkien.
“My dear Frodo!’ exclaimed Gandalf. ‘Hobbits really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch.”
While we agree that Frodo and Sam completed the Quest (albeit with an assist from Smeagol), the mover behind all that happened was Mithrandir.
I just wish there was a Wizard to help us.
Cleanup on isle 2010 Sarah.
7:15:18 – The Boss reacts to Sarah Palin’s speech at the Billy Graham Birthday Celebration: “Is there any way that she could be put to sleep? If they put a bunch of scientist together to assemble the dumbest person in the world…they couldn’t make one more stupid than her.” An uncharacteristically measured response from the I-Man.
I know it's his thing to say outrageous things but he and his social crowd hate Palin and he was deadly serious. I heard it. I recall that it was last Friday's show. Why do people like Imus and his ultra liberal crowd hate? Palin is not the only one they'd singled out. And not a peep out of the public.
Well, she did endorse Cruz and the two are more simpatico than she and McCain.
Hard to wash the smell of that skunk off ya..
I think McCain is going gaga. Maybe its just as well he lost the election.
The Hobbits are the true, the proud, the patriots, and . . . unlike some of you . . . the free.
You photo of “Tricksy Hobbit McCain” hit the mark! I hope Sarah is lurking and sees it.
In the Hobbit analogy, McCain is the traitor Wormtongue.
We'll see who comes out on top at the end of this quest Senator Wormtongue.
Love it!
Bingo! She says what needs to be said.
FINALLY!!!!! Someone outside of FR has said it! THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE CAUSED ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS TODAY ARE THE LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES... MEN THAT HAVE BEEN IN DC MOST OF THEIR LIVES... THEY NOW OFFER TO FIX THEIR MESS... BUT THEIR FIXES JUST CAUSE EVERYTHING EVIL THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO MULTIPLY. WE MUST PURGE THE BODY POLITIC OF THEM ALL!
GOD bless Sarah... she was the first to declare DEATH PANELS also!
