Quotes by Governor Palin during a series of interviews by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006 when she was running for Governor...

On Creationism:

The simple yet elegantly awkward moose proves God's creation and not evolution is the source of all life. How could something as oddly shaped and silly looking as a moose evolve through so-called "natural selection?" Is evolution a committee? There is nothing natural about a dorky moose! Only God could have made a moose and given it huge antlers to fight off his predatory enemies. God has a well known sense of humor,

I mean He made the platypus too.

On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR:

God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats.

Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoy caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new, at the time, custom Austrian hunting rifle. And guess what? That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great!

On Alaskans serving overseas in Iraq:

Well, God bless them, and I mean God and Jesus because without Jesus we'd be Muslims too or Jewish, which would be a little better because of the superior Israeli Air Force.

The question is, will what works in Colorado Springs work in Toledo, Ohio, Scranton, Pa., Detroit or Gary, Ind.? Can it possibly sell in Florida? And how long can McCain-Palin get away with sweeping the party's evangelical right-wing agenda under the rug? Surely when pressed, even though McCain wasn't fully on board before last week, how can they not affirm their allegiance to an anti-choice, anti-stem cell research, abstinence only, anti-gay rights agenda?

Will Charlie Gibson ever ask Sarah Palin the questions you want? Don't hold your breath, you'll turn blue and die.

Will Wolf Blitzer ever compare the McCain and Obama tax programs for their effect on people making less that $160,000 a year? Again, don't hold your breath. Wolfie knows which side his continued employment is buttered on.

General Electric TV (NBC/MSNBC) just dropped Tweety and Olbermann as their political anchors in response to Republican complaints. Someone is surprised?

We are watching the imposistion of a fascist, theocratic state, and it's being done right in front of us.

I love Republicn consistency.

In July, Palin says she'll cooperate. Then after her coronation, she wanted to have the Alaska State Personnel Board - whose three members she appointed - handle it. Now she and the First Dude won't cooperate and a bi-partisan investigation has become "tainted by partisanship."

How dare you try and make us legally responsible for anything? We're Republicans, after all!!

Republican: a synonym for "shameless shithead."

As my feminist wife - whose activism goes back to being a Friend of Jane - put it, "any woman who would support Sarah Palin, or fail to oppose her, is no feminist."

The Palin candidacy does accomplish one good thing: it exposes the "Black Nationalist wing" of American feminism for the idiots they are.

Had the talentless Hank Williams Jr. had a different father, no one would have ever heard of him, given how tenth-rate his talent has always been.

But it's always nice to watch a southern moron prove what ten generations of hillbilly incest can create.

Someone is surprised that Ms. Montagne has once again proven herself to be the kind of "journalist" NPR would hire only under the reign of error that has been the Bush Administration and its administration of public broadcasting? She was once thinking last year of joining the McCain campaign, which demonstrates how "fair and balanced" she is.

Calling Lionel Chetwynd a "writer" is like saying someone who can sign their name the same on consecutive attempts is a writer. In truth, his very-pedestrian "creative typing" is definitely on display in the yawn-inducing "Hanoi Hilton" (which tanked with the public when broadcast back in 1987, since even Republicans can identify wooden writing). It's taken 21 years for Warner's to get around to releasing this dog because they hope the public has forgotten how bad it is.

Chetwynd is far better known for a 30 year career of undermining his fellow writers every three years when the WGA contract comes up for re-negotiation. He's actively worked every time to create groups of management stooges who claim to be "independent writers" who are "oppressed" by the terrible lefty leadership of the union and forced to be members. As is usual with conservative hypocrites (is there any other kind?), he's always happy to snarf up the benefits won for him by his betters.

Patrick Ruffini: proof of the catastrophe of home schooling.
