transcipt for prank call to SP

A transcript of a prank phone call between Quebec comedy duo "The Masked Avengers" and Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

(Listen to the Palin Prank Call)

Sarah Palin: This is Sarah.

Masked Avengers: Ah, yeah, Gov. Palin.

Palin: Hello.

Avengers: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.

Palin: Oh, it's not him yet, they're saying. I always do that.

Avengers: Yes, hello, Gov. Palin.

Palin: Hello, this is Sarah, how are you?

AVENGERS: Fine, and you? This is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?

PALIN: Oh, it's so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.

AVENGERS: Oh, it's a pleasure.

PALIN: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you and thank you for taking a few minutes to talk to me.

AVENGERS: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American adviser Johnny Hallyday, you know?

PALIN: Yes, good.

AVENGERS: Excellent. Are you confident?

PALIN: Very confident and we're thankful that polls are showing that the race is tightening and...

AVENGERS: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now, my dear?

PALIN: I feel so good. I feel like we're in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon you get your second wind and you plow to the finish.

AVENGERS: You see, I got elected in France because I'm real and you seem to be someone who's real, as well.

PALIN: Yes, yeah. Nico, we so appreciate this opportunity.

AVENGERS: You know I see you as a president one day, too.

PALIN: Maybe in eight years.

AVENGERS: Well, I hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common because personally one of my favourite activities is to hunt, too.

PALIN: Oh, very good. We should go hunting together.

AVENGERS: Exactly, we could try go hunting by helicopter like you did. I never did that. Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des bebe phoque s, aussi [translation: we can kill baby seals also].

PALIN: Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.

AVENGERS: I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun. I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President Cheney.

PALIN: No, I'll be a careful shot, yes.

AVENGERS: Yes, you know we have a lot in common also, because except from my house I can see Belgium. That's kind of less interesting than you.

PALIN: Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes.

AVENGERS: Some people said in the last days and I thought that was mean that you weren't experienced enough in foreign relations and you know that's completely false. That's the thing that I said to my great friend, the prime minister of Canada Stef Carse.

PALIN: Well, he's doing fine, too, and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder.

AVENGERS: I was wondering because you are so next to him, one of my good friends, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois, have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?

PALIN: I haven't seen him at one of the rallies but it's been great working with the Canadian officials. I know as governor we have a great co-operative effort there as we work on all of our resource-development projects. You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife. Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours.

AVENGERS: Thank you very much. You know my wife Carla would love to meet you, even though you know she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today.

PALIN: Well, give her a big hug for me.

AVENGERS: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she's so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.

PALIN: Oh my goodness, I didn't know that.

AVENGERS: Yes, in French it's called de rouge a levre sur un cochon [translation: lipstick on a pig], or if you prefer in English, Joe the Plumber...it's his life, Joe the Plumber.

PALIN: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism.

AVENGERS: I just want to be sure. That phenomenon Joe the Plumber. That's not your husband, right?

PALIN: That's not my husband but he's a normal American who just works hard and doesn't want government to take his money.

AVENGERS: Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.

PALIN: Right, that's what it's all about, the middle class and government needing to work for them. You're a very good example for us here.

AVENGERS: I see a bit about NBC, even Fox News wasn't an ally as much as usual.

PALIN: Yeah, that's what we're up against.

AVENGERS: Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?

PALIN: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.

AVENGERS: That was really edgy.

PALIN: Well, good.

AVENGERS: I really loved you and I must say something also, governor, you've been pranked by the Masked Avengers. We are two comedians from Montreal.

PALIN: Ohhh, have we been pranked? And what radio station is this?

AVENGERS: CKOI in Montreal.

PALIN: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters.

AVENGERS: CK...hello?

FAKE SARKOZY: Yes, in French, it’s called "Du rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne" [Translation: Lipstick on a hot sexy woman] or if you prefer in English “Joe the Plumber it is Life, Joe the Plumber”.

GOV. PALIN: Maybe she understands the some of the unfair criticism, but I bet you she’s such a hard worker too and she realizes you just plough through that criticism.

FAKE SARKOZY: I just want to be sure, I don’t quite understand the phenomenon Joe the Plumber, that’s not your husband, right?

GOV. PALIN: That’s not my husband, but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.

FAKE SARKOZY: Yes, yes, I understand. We have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called “Marcel the Guy with Bread Under his Armpit”. Oui.

GOV. PALIN: Right, that’s what it’s all about, the middle class and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.

FAKE SARKOZY: I seen a bit, but NBC, even Fox News wasn’t an ally, an ally, sorry about as much as usual.

GOV. PALIN: Yes, that’s what we’re up against.

FAKE SARKOZY: I must say, Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life - you know, Hustler’s “Nailin’ Palin”.

GOV. PALIN: Oh good, thank you.

FAKE SARKOZY: That was really edgy.

I was able to find it after all . and the phone call is NOT the reason I hate her and I am not alone!

 

[kokonut]

It's better to read from the actual source.

Palin Announces No Second Term

12:00pm AKST - Update from Governor Palin: We'll soon attach info on decision to not seek re-election... this is in Alaska's best interest, my family's happy... it is good, stay tuned.

Hi Alaska, I appreciate speaking directly TO you, the people I serve, as your Governor.

People who know me know that besides faith and family, nothing's more important to me than our beloved Alaska. Serving her people is the greatest honor I could imagine.

I want Alaskans to grasp what can be in store for our state. We were purchased as a territory because a member of President Abe Lincoln's cabinet, William Seward, providentially saw in this great land, vast riches, beauty, strategic placement on the globe, and opportunity. He boldly looked "North to the Future". But he endured such ridicule and mocking for his vision for Alaska, remember the adversaries scoffed, calling this "Seward's Folly". Seward withstood such disdain as he chose the uncomfortable, unconventional, but RIGHT path to secure Alaska, so Alaska could help secure the United States.

People who know me know that besides faith and family, nothing's more important to me than our beloved Alaska.

Alaska's mission - to contribute to America. We're strategic IN the world as the air crossroads OF the world, as a gatekeeper of the continent. Bold visionaries knew this - Alaska would be part of America's great destiny.

Our destiny to be reached by responsibly developing our natural resources. This land, blessed with clean air, water, wildlife, minerals, AND oil and gas. It's energy! God gave us energy.

So to serve the state is a humbling responsibility, because I know in my soul that Alaska is of such import, for America's security, in our very volatile world. And you know me by now, I promised even four years ago to show MY independence... no more conventional "politics as usual".

And we are doing well! My administration's accomplishments speak for themselves. We work tirelessly for Alaskans.

We aggressively and responsibly develop our resources because they were created to be used to better our world... to HELP people... and we protect the environment and Alaskans (the resource owners) foremost with our policies.

Here's some of the things we've done:

We created a petroleum integrity office to oversee safe development. We held the line FOR Alaskans on Point Thomson - and finally for the first time in decades - they're drilling for oil and gas.

We have AGIA, the gasline project - a massive bi-partisan victory (the vote was 58 to 1!) - also succeeding as intended - protecting Alaskans as our clean natural gas will flow to energize us, and America, through a competitive, pro-private sector project. This is the largest private sector energy project, ever. THIS is energy independence.

And ACES - another bipartisan effort - is working as intended and industry is publicly acknowledging its success. Our new oil and gas "clear and equitable formula" is so Alaskans will no longer be taken advantage of. ACES incentivizes NEW exploration and development and JOBS that were previously not going to happen with a monopolized North Slope oil basin.

We cleaned up previously accepted unethical actions; we ushered in bi-partisan Ethics Reform.

We also slowed the rate of government growth, we worked with the Legislature to save billions of dollars for the future, and I made no lobbyist friends with my hundreds of millions of dollars in budget vetoes... but living beyond our means today is irresponsible for tomorrow.

We took government out of the dairy business and put it back into private-sector hands - where it should be.

We provided unprecedented support for education initiatives, and with the right leadership, finally filled long-vacant public safety positions. We built a sub-Cabinet on Climate Change and took heat from Outside special interests for our biologically-sound wildlife management for abundance.

We broke ground on the new prison.

And we made common sense conservative choices to eliminate personal luxuries like the jet, the chef, the junkets... the entourage.

And the Lt. Governor and I said "no" to our pay raises. So much success in this first term - and with this success I am proud to take credit... for hiring the right people! Our goal was to achieve a gasline project, more fair oil and gas valuation, and ethics reform in four years. We did it in two. It's because of the people... good public servants surrounding the Governor's office, with servants' hearts and astounding work ethic... THEY are Alaska's success!

We are doing well! I wish you'd hear MORE from the media of your state's progress and how we tackle Outside interests - daily - SPECIAL interests that would stymie our state. Even those debt-ridden stimulus dollars that would force the heavy hand of federal government into our communities with an "all-knowing attitude" - I have taken the slings and arrows with that unpopular move to veto because I know being right is better than being popular. Some of those dollars would harm Alaska and harm America - I resisted those dollars because of the obscene national debt we're forcing our children to pay, because of today's Big Government spending; it's immoral and doesn't even make economic sense!

Another accomplishment - our Law Department protected states' rights - TWO huge U.S. Supreme Court reversals came down against that liberal Ninth Circuit, deciding in OUR state's favor over the last two weeks. We're protectors of our Constitution - federalists protect states' rights as mandated in 10th amendment.

But you don't hear much of the good stuff in the press anymore, do you?

Some say things changed for me on August 29th last year - the day John McCain tapped me to be his running-mate - I say others changed.

Let me speak to that for a minute.

Political operatives descended on Alaska last August, digging for dirt. The ethics law I championed became their weapon of choice. Over the past nine months I've been accused of all sorts of frivolous ethics violations - such as holding a fish in a photograph, wearing a jacket with a logo on it, and answering reporters' questions.

Every one - all 15 of the ethics complaints have been dismissed. We've won! But it hasn't been cheap - the State has wasted THOUSANDS of hours of YOUR time and shelled out some two million of YOUR dollars to respond to "opposition research" - that's money NOT going to fund teachers or troopers - or safer roads. And this political absurdity, the "politics of personal destruction" ... Todd and I are looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills in order to set the record straight. And what about the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn't cost them a dime so they're not going to stop draining public resources - spending other peoples' money in their game.

It's pretty insane - my staff and I spend most of our day dealing with THIS instead of progressing our state now. I know I promised no more "politics as usual," but THIS isn't what anyone had in mind for ALASKA.

If I have learned one thing: LIFE is about choices!

And one chooses how to react to circumstances. You can choose to engage in things that tear down, or build up. I choose to work very hard on a path for fruitfulness and productivity. I choose NOT to tear down and waste precious time; but to build UP this state and our country, and her industrious, generous, patriotic, free people!

Life is too short to compromise time and resources... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and "go with the flow".

Nah, only dead fish "go with the flow".

No. Productive, fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts, choosing to wisely utilize precious time... to BUILD UP.

And there is such a need to BUILD up and FIGHT for our state and our country. I choose to FIGHT for it! And I'll work hard for others who still believe in free enterprise and smaller government; strong national security for our country and support for our troops; energy independence; and for those who will protect freedom and equality and LIFE... I'll work for and campaign for those PROUD to be American, and those who are INSPIRED by our ideals and won't deride them.

I WILL support others who seek to serve, in or out of office, for the RIGHT reasons, and I don't care what party they're in or no party at all. Inside Alaska - or Outside Alaska.

But I won't do it from the Governor's desk.

I've never believed that I, nor anyone else, needs a title to do this - to make a difference... to HELP people. So I choose, for my State and my family, more "freedom" to progress, all the way around... so that Alaska may progress... I will not seek re-election as Governor.

And so as I thought about this announcement that I wouldn't run for re-election and what it means for Alaska, I thought about how much fun some governors have as lame ducks... travel around the state, to the Lower 48 (maybe), overseas on international trade - as so many politicians do. And then I thought - that's what's wrong - many just accept that lame duck status, hit the road, draw the paycheck, and "milk it". I'm not putting Alaska through that - I promised efficiencies and effectiveness! ? That's not how I am wired. I am not wired to operate under the same old "politics as usual." I promised that four years ago - and I meant it.

It's not what is best for Alaska.

I am determined to take the right path for Alaska even though it is unconventional and not so comfortable.

With this announcement that I am not seeking re-election... I've determined it's best to transfer the authority of governor to Lieutenant Governor Parnell; and I am willing to do so, so that this administration - with its positive agenda, its accomplishments, and its successful road to an incredible future - can continue without interruption and with great administrative and legislative success.

My choice is to take a stand and effect change - not hit our heads against the wall and watch valuable state time and money, millions of your dollars, go down the drain in this new environment. Rather, we know we can effect positive change outside government at this moment in time, on another scale, and actually make a difference for our priorities - and so we will, for Alaskans and for Americans.

Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me - sports... basketball. I use it because you're naïve if you don't see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket... and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN. And I'm doing that - keeping our eye on the ball that represents sound priorities - smaller government, energy independence, national security, freedom! And I know when it's time to pass the ball - for victory.

I have given my reasons candidly and truthfully... and my last day won't be for another few weeks so the transition will be very smooth. In fact, we will look to swear Sean in - in Fairbanks at the conclusion of our Governor's picnics.

I do not want to disappoint anyone with my decision; all I can ask is that you TRUST me with this decision - but it's no more "politics as usual".

Some Alaskans don't mind wasting public dollars and state time. I do. I cannot stand here as your Governor and allow millions upon millions of our dollars go to waste just so I can hold the title of Governor. And my children won't allow it either. ? Some will question the timing. ? Let's just say, this decision has been in the works for awhile...

In fact, this decision comes after much consideration, and finally polling the most important people in my life - my children (where the count was unanimous... well, in response to asking: "Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children's future from OUTSIDE the Governor's office?" It was four "yes's" and one "hell yeah!" The "hell yeah" sealed it - and someday I'll talk about the details of that... I think much of it had to do with the kids seeing their baby brother Trig mocked by some pretty mean-spirited adults recently.) Um, by the way, sure wish folks could ever, ever understand that we ALL could learn so much from someone like Trig - I know he needs me, but I need him even more... what a child can offer to set priorities RIGHT - that time is precious... the world needs more "Trigs", not fewer.

My decision was also fortified during this most recent trip to Kosovo and Landstuhl, to visit our wounded soldiers overseas, those who sacrifice themselves in war for OUR freedom and security... we can ALL learn from our selfless Troops... they're bold, they don't give up, they take a stand and know that LIFE is short so they choose to NOT waste time. They choose to be productive and to serve something greater than SELF... and to build up their families, their states, our country. These Troops and their important missions - those are truly the worthy causes in this world and should be the public priority with time and resources and NOT this local / superficial wasteful political bloodsport.

May we ALL learn from them!

*((Gotta put First Things First))*

First things first: as Governor, I love my job and I love Alaska. It hurts to make this choice but I am doing what's best for Alaska. I've explained why... though I think of the saying on my parents' refrigerator that says "Don't explain: your friends don't need it and your enemies won't believe you anyway."

But I have given my reasons... no more "politics as usual" and I am taking my fight for what's right - for Alaska - in a new direction.

Now, despite this, I don't want any Alaskan dissuaded from entering politics after seeing this REAL "climate change" that began in August... no, we NEED hardworking, average Americans fighting for what's right! And I will support you because we need YOU and YOU can effect change, and I can too on the outside.

We need those who will respect our Constitution where government's supposed to serve from the BOTTOM UP, not move toward this TOP DOWN big government take-over... but rather, will be protectors of individual rights - who also have enough common sense to acknowledge when conditions have drastically changed and are willing to call an audible and pass the ball when it's time so the team can win! And that is what I'm doing!

Remember Alaska... America is now, more than ever, looking North to the Future. It'll be good. So God bless you, and from me and my family - to ALL Alaska - you have my heart.

And we will be in the capable hands of our Lieutenant Governor, Sean Parnell. And Lieutenant General Craig Campbell will assume the role of Lieutenant Governor. And it is my promise to you that I will always be standing by, ready to assist. We have a good, positive agenda for Alaska.

In the words of General MacArthur said, "We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction."

SarahPAC - Sarah Palin's Official PAC

I think it's a brilliant move.

MATALIN: Well, I think it’s really brilliant, with two caveats, one being that there’s nothing else, ala the Sanford fiasco. There’s nothing else that we don’t know. If all that’s there is what we see right now, it’s brilliant.

And, secondly, that she has a plan and people have a plan to put up with the conventional wisdom, chatterati and the political class saying how stupid it is, because it’s brilliant.

On the substance, there’s the key economic issue — I know everyone says — thinks it’s health care, but it’s really energy. And she’s the queen of energy.
And the second big issue for 2012 will be the role of government. And she has a record of reform and ethics reform and making government smaller and reigning in spending — all those issues that are getting increasingly important as Barack Obama expands on his agenda.

So — and her delivery was incredible — a charis — a less charismatic person probably couldn’t pull it off. But as — as already referenced, she will be freed up and liberated in the way Mitt Romney is here to run around and raise money and get political chips by spending it and get political capital. And she is still raising the kinds of crowds and money that she always did.

Note the blue bolded words. That's a big hint.

I was hoping that it had some words with . I did not mean to waste anyone time. I have seen other youtube on this site .

Thank you for transcript.
Yes, I was hoping to see some words but nothing.

 

[Liebling:-)))]

I wish Palin the best of good luck in the future.

 

[Liebling:-)))]

I agree...people expect miracles from Obama..it takes time.

Yeah, I can´t beleive when I read some comment for blame Obama when they know very well that Obama has been in office for almost 7 month. :roll:

Palin for president? Hahahaha!

I did vote Obama in last Nov and don't feel so regret because I prefer to have Obama/Biden in office over McCain/Palin, many of McCain's policies would be similar to Bush and wouldn't make economy so better in 2009, it's still bad because it take alot of time to recover, however McCain/Palin could make more worse than you thought.

I don't mind about moderate republicans in office, such as Colin Powell but crazy conservative republicans are really no way for me because I had done with Bush admin for 8 years and it wasn't so good. Bush admin is nowhere to similar as Reagan admin does.

I do have some disagree with Obama but I picked him as most one.

I never want Palin to be in white house.

Yes I second that.

Yes I also have some disagree with Obama, too.

She doesn't shoot wild animals from helicopters.

She doesn't hunt from a helicopter.

Do you have any proof that Palin herself shot any animals from a helicopter?

Nope, didn't happen.

No matter either she did or not but she AUTHORIZE her people to do.

No, I'm not blind nor deaf, and I can use my critical reading skills. I suggest you do the same.

I read your link. It has no proof that Palin shot moose from an airplane. It's not a "story." It's a forum of people tossing around their unfounded opinions.

Here is link to fresh your memory.

http://www.alldeaf.com/war-political-news/56878-ladies-would-you-vote-palin.html

There´re plenty of bears and wolves skin rugs, fur coats, etc.

I am not surprised that you still don´t want to see it.

 

[Reba]

Yeah, I can´t beleive when I read some comment for blame Obama when they know very well that Obama has been in office for almost 7 month. :roll:

5 1/2 months

No matter either she did or not but she AUTHORIZE her people to do.

Sorry, but accuracy does matter.

Here is link to fresh your memory.

Maybe you'd better read it yourself.

I am not surprised that you still don´t want to see it.

I never said that Palin didn't hunt. I said that she didn't hunt from planes or helicopters.

I am not surprised that you see things that aren't there. There is no proof that she hunts from planes or helicopters.

This is the BEST News I've heard since my being cleared to graduate at Minnesota State University Moorhead. We need to get Obama out, impeachment if we have to. Our economy is so bad and, as a former Democrat, I have totally been repulsed by Obama and his entire staff.

We need leadership and Obama is NOT leading. We have way too many people out of work, college grads that can't find work at a liveable wage and way too many people having to work two, three or more jobs just to keep food on the table at jobs they can't stand.

We need change and the sooner we get Obama out, the sooner we can get to what's important to the United States, not by taking away our grandchildrens' grandchildrens money the way that man is.

I agree that Obama is NOT leadin'. He's a self-destruction direction to this country. I mean, he is tryin' to destroy our country by makin' chaos with everythin' ( economy, job, and all ). I had a good talk with my son in law who is Marine about Obama and what he thinks of him. He told me that our country is a virtually communist and he don't support Obama, if not at all.

I don't think that Obama is REALLY doin' a well job, no matter how long ago he became a President. I read lots of informations about somethin' else, too and who is really behind all this that will make this world to become one world government and such. I don't support Obama. Thankfully, I don't vote for him.

I don't care if, anyone in this site thinks that it is not true about "communist" and vice versa -- I would rather to let them go and have them to find out about it themselves later on when an unfold events reveal on its own term. It will reveal and all the people will wonder HOW it did happen. Everythin' will be irreversible and people can't change it back. They will be stuck with it and the freedom will become more less and less. I have ONE big problem here -- I can not say ONE word here that I know WHO controls the government.

 

[Maria]

^^ We won't be able to know if this will happen.

 

[shel90]

I noticed those weblinks, too, Reba and I've got your back on this one! Opinion doesn't make it fact. Tell me deaf people are this out of the loop that they can't use critical thinking skills to think with? Oh, wait . . . that's against deaf culture, I forgot. Silly me.

Stop with the stereotyping of deaf people. Hearing people are just as bad if not worse. It is not a deaf or a hearing thing...

 

[saywhatkid]

She got elected because our last governor was so bad she looked great. She did not take down the old boys, that is totally false, that was an FBI investigation that started before she got in. She does not hunt from helicopters that is absurd and totally untrue. She did get in office with only the experience of a small town mayor of a town of 7-8,000 people. Her tour as governor has been half taken up by being called upon by McCain for VP. She is completely and totally unqualified to run our country. Other than that she is okay just another bossy charismatic hard as nails Alaskan female, there is a whole bunch of em' up here.

Some things happen by mistake and some don't. Chew on this notion a minute or two and you will start to wonder just like I did. Shortly before the VP choice by McCain this happened: General Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama. I puzzled over this a little right up until Sarah Palin was announced to be McCain's choice. Major General Colin Powell as McCain's VP. He was waiting to be asked. That was in the news. He wasn't asked. Palin was. If it had been the other way around? McCain would have won. Tight race but he would have won. They lost on purpose and gave a first class American one more dipping as a slap in the face farewell. And gave us Sarah Palin. Compare the two. A first time governor with no experience outside of Alaska except a college career no-one would advertise, compared to Major General Colin Powell?
So why did they lose on purpose? Exactly why is happening now: the policy direction that Obama is on was started by them, as unfortunate as it is there is no other way to stave off a real depression. This policy is one born of desperation not choice. How it is done has to be done by the Democrats, the Republican party only knows how to pander to big business interests and they follow that course exceedingly well. The same business
interests that just have just freshly raped our economy with unrestrained gusto for eight years.
They are not in the business of looking towards the interests of all of the rest of us. We are here to pay for their fancy homes and big office buildings and most of all their entitled lifestyles. And we will do that. It is a beautiful thing: taxes that have to go up will be blamed on the Democrats. It is pretty amazing watching these professional criminals at work- they are the very best.

Let the others argue about hunting from aircraft....welcome to AllDeaf! Very solid postings here. Some people blindly follow a party platform right over a cliff. I have offered the theory of rotating party control as a good thing. Both parties have good points. If one party is in power for a long period, the other party needs to adjust the "tilt" from the group in control. I try to stay in the middle, but lean left a bit. I will never be wealthy, and even if I was to hit the lottery, I have no issues with paying taxes. Wealthy want to pay less, because their entire drive is money based; their measure of success is their bank account balance, if you will. I just want to stay dry when it rains, warm when it's cold, and eat when I am hungry. I don't need a 51" HDTV in my kitchen.

Maria,

Between you and Reba, the two of you are the only two whose comments I respect. I know both your backgrounds and where you're both coming from. I am so glad that I'm not the only one that feels we're all heading for trouble and that our grandchildren's grandchildren are going to be paying for this mess. Thanks to both of you for having my back!!!

 

[Oceanbreeze]

Oh wow, did you figure that out yourself, Einstein? I think it was pretty obvious to everyone by the QUOTATION MARKS that the article was a cut and paste. You're just throwing in a red herring here and avoiding addressing the actual words from the article. There is a big difference between not quoting sources in an official document or academic paper and an online bulletin board. And of course, you manage to throw in a cheap shot at Deaf culture along the way. No surprise there.




Yes, judging ALL of Deaf culture and all d/Deaf people based on a couple posts in this thread clearly demonstrates your superior critical reasoning and intellectual ability.




It's called a "slant rhyme." The assonance of the two words rhymes while the consonance does not. As someone who claims to be a professional writer, this should be quite obvious to you.


So, would you like to pick out any other ridiculous non-issues and belittle people's intelligence while trying to make yourself look holier than thou? I'd be happy to point it out to you every single time.

I understand the importance of citing sources, using proper documentation, etc. In fact, as a writing instructor at a major public university, I probably understand that more than most people. But in the context above, these things were far less of an issue than Pek1 making blanket statements about Deaf culture not having critical thinking skills or that all deaf people don't understand the need to provide citations. If you'll re-read my post, you'll see that I was addressing Pek's snide remarks towards Deaf culture more than the issue of citation. I didn't say it was okay to not provide a source, but I did try to downplay the importance of that in light of the mean-spirited remarks he made, so sorry if that that wasn't clear.

Funny that you would point out that one little part of my post and ignore all the other things in it, then call ME the nitpicker.

(BTW, while WDYS didn't cite everything in the post, s/he did provide a source for the very long article from the Fish and Game service.)

Thank you. His pompous atitude is really quite annoying. I also am shocked that not more deafies find what he said offensive. I did and I'm hearing.

 

[AlleyCat]

I get your point, OB. And I'm not in disagreement. My post (and TWA's response) was about that there has been so much controversy about providing sources and links on this forum that Pek was actually right to ask for one. At this point I'm offering no comment on the rest of his post - just about the sources/links issue, that's all.

 

[KarissaMann05]

Come on!! Let's keep her down all the way until it begins to take away from her duties as a governor!! Maul her down!!!

(Mauling! Mauling! Mauling!)

(Palin had been defeated)

*gasps!* Now, now, now -- Congrats, you defeated her!!! You must be so proud!!! GO YOU GUYS!!!

Is it so cool!?












:roll: While I am not a Sarah Palin fan, I'm not surprise I see a plenty of "hateful posts" in here. =/ A continuous overwhelming outpouring of erroneous charges brought up that was against her by Obamacrats and liberals (EDIT: I meant, speak of general people). It was enough to drive her away.

Well, you see, she decided to do what was right and to resign so the idiocy of others would not bring down Alaska. Yeah, I see differently. Frankly, I don't care what you think of what I said. =/

 

[~*Kaelei*~]

If she tries to run for PResident in 2012, there's no way in hell I would vote for her. I mean look at her right now... she can't even be a governor in Alaska.... Think about it, Sarah quits being Alaska Governor because she can't handle it, what makes her think that she can handle being President of United States? Being president is a hell lot tougher job than it is being a governor!

No way in a million years that I would vote for her! What a joke!
