CNN

Why have people quit listening to me? I'm still saying lots of stupid stuff. Why am I not on the quotes list? What am I, chopped liver? Just listen to me. I can be as stupid as anyone they quoted. I'm the stupidest of all. Somebody listen to me!! I'm a Nobel Prize winner!!!

How about "I've visited all 57 states" – The savior Barack Obama
or
"My uncle helped liberate Auschwitz" – The Russian Barack Obama

At least Dubya knows how many states there are...

All you silly people defending Gov Palin by listing the actual quote are just (as always) missing the forest for the trees. The original and exact quote was said by Palin in the midst of making the totally ridiculous argument that Alaska's proximity to Russia was part of her foreign policy credentials! Using her "logic" (term used loosely), since I live in Texas, if elected to office, I now have foreign policy experience with Mexico. This is why Republicans have almost run this nation into the ground. The nation is burning and they build straw men and set them on fire like a crazy mob all the while the nation continues to burn and they stand around patting themselves on the back for destroying the straw men. Can you guys start to focus on REAL issues?

we all now that before palin used the term "YOU BETCHA" obama used it starting in 2002.

Can't wait to see how you Obama liberals blame the Chicago corruption – and Obama's participation in it – on Palin's "ignorance."

I can't fathom the connection – Palin can't see Chicago from her house – but since when has logic stopped the Obama idol worshippers from whacking away at the Palin pinata. Sorry but wailin' at Palin does not distract us from what's really going on with Mr. Obama.

It's shocking to me to see how eager everyone is, Democrat or Republican, to hate each other. People wonder why there are such problems in this country; everyone is practically foaming at the mouth for another crack at whatever ignorant member of either side. Things have become not so much about the issues anymore as they have about throwing verbal punches back and forth. The only way to get out of this dilemma is to work together. It's easy to sit back and whine about a result you find unfavorable. If you really cared, you'd go and do something about it that's productive instead of carrying on with this political bickering. Talk about blindness....this country can't even see itself being torn apart from the inside by stupidity and blatant ignorance. It's a real shame...

Hmm....you mean to tell me that the republican oral blunders of the campagin top the list, but the democratic gems like Biden going on about how FDR went on TV to calm the nation during the Great Depression are nowhere to be found? Haha, what liberal media?

"Can't wait to see and watch the liberal media covering up for Obama and the democrat ilk when they start screwing up America on Jan 22 2009"

Right. The current administration has done such a great job.

Ah the righties miss ole' mumblin' George so much. Aint that cute.

I kind of wish people would stop quarreling over politics. The elections are over. Democracy has spoken. Regardless of who you supported prior to the election, you should now be fully ready to pledge your support to Obama and Biden. Dissent is detrimental to the success of our great nation.

You all need to get a life...stop being haters and pull together for a better country now.

Kate has the IQ of a dirty diaper....except the diaper serves a purpose. Kate, maybe the US should have an IQ test for the right to vote. If we did, maybe George W wouldn't have crushed this country.

A Presidential Library? What will be the theme.....Green Eggs and Ham

i've been to 57 states and kenya.....

i would have liked to see:

"welcome to my hanging" – dubya

"in 1929 when the stock market crashed FDR adressed the nation on TV" – joe biden

"stand up chuck" – joe biden

I just love the conservatives who respond on these stories. They were lousy, ungracious winners for eight years. Now, they are cry-baby losers. None of you "tards" got into Harvard, so JUST SHUT UP!

how come biden's three letter word did not make the list JOBS J-O-B-S

Yeah Willy, it will be interesting to see how Obama and the Democrats are going to start "screwing up America." You mean continue screwing it up after the past 8 years of Bush and the Republicans putting us in the fast lane to Hell?

@ It's On Now-

"IYERS AND ROUGHT"

Are you trying to say Ayers and Wright. Well, I can see from the posts what is not on...the lights in the house.

Palin represents the idiots in this nation–and I believe that she does it very Well!

Wily Brown, if the media were liberal, as you say, they would have hammered Bush and Cheney to pieces for stupid things and lies they've voiced. They hammered Clinton about 'not inhaling', yet let Bush stop all questions about his own marijuana usage, and didn't even go after his cocaine use. If the media were liberal, why didn't everyone see when W. stated that he is "truly not that concerned about that guy, bin Laden"? That approach of labeling the media as liberal is a cheating argument – if the media agrees with you, let it stand...if not, then discredit it for having an unfair slant.

Personal to Tom in Delaware:

Palin stated you can see Russia from Alaska, Fey just extended it.

But, do run Palin in 2012; the debates will be a scream!!!

Hey DAvid, Biden doesn't know when TV was invented? That's really relevant, isn't it? What a joke – did you know the answer to that without looking it up? Palin didn't even have to be set up by loaded questions to look like an idiot – it just comes naturally for her. Her ignorance on a whole range of things doesn't compare to your stupid little Biden list. She is not a moron – she's just ignorant, but Biden's intellect blows her out of the water. And by the way you don't stay in office as US Senator for 30 years if you are a walking joke. And I don't hate Bush, not even blindly. I think he was a plain-spoken idiot that ran our country into the ground and only became president because of his last name, but I don't hate him.

Hey DE-

Read a real polling site like Pollster or FiveThirtyEight. The Zogby poll was a joke.

All of you need to be quiet and concentrate on the real issues: It's the Economy, stupid! Who cares about the top ten quotes! I think Senator McCain said it all when he mentioned he's not sure would support a Palin presidential nomination – guess Gov. Pawlenty of MN isn't looking so boring now! BIG MISTAKE, SENATOR, guess you should have chosen the boring guy!
Palin is back in Alaska where she belongs and hopefully stays, Bush and Cheney leave with the country in a MES (good riddance to them both)and hopefully the new president can fix things – if not, guess we will be right back here in 4 years bashing each other again!

You kids are clueless! Wait until O'bama screws up.

WHAT A SURPRISE..... ALL OF THE "BAD" QUOTES ARE FROM REPUBLICANS.

WHAT ABOUT OBAMA'S CLAIM TO HAVE VISITED ALL 57 STATES?

WHAT ABOUT BIDEN'S MANY VERBAL FARTS?

Palin is a joke and anyone who thinks she is worth her wait in moose caca is looney.

"Have any of you seen the public schools in Obama's old stomping grounds?"

Actually, Illinois is a leading change agent in schools, as they are implementing school-wide positive behavior supports. That's actually great news for America's education.

How's your foot taste?

What happened to Czechoslovakia?

Hey Polly I think you need a man!! Get a life or laid.

Tina Fey could get rich. This idiot Palin is a gift that keeps on giving.

God I hate Americans.All of you, liberal, conservative, whatever. Look at yourselves, you make me feel ashamed FOR you. A disgrace.

all facets of our economy are tanking and measures to stem the tide have been or are projected to e marginally effective at best, we are fighting two wars that are nowhere near completion, corruption abounds in the boardrooms of wallstreet and the offices of politicians, and the current incumbent republican president who has presided over this mess for 8 years has one of the lowest approval ratings in the history of the United States. Yeah, i cant wait for the Democrats to "start screwing up" our country come January 22, 2009.

Well, Tina provided us with great entertainment and many laughs. But I don't think Palin is that goofey!!! Is she??? Ok, she gets on my nerves after listening to her for a while, but I wouldn't mind stopping by and sampling some of that moose meat chili...

I DONT CARE WHAT OBAMA SAID WRONG ECT. HE SAID SOME PRETTY INTENSE AND AMAZING THINGS IN REGARD TO CHANGE AND HOPE AND THE FUTURE. UNFORTUNATELY THE GAFFE WILL COME WHEN EVERYONE,EVERYONE, EVERYONE FINDS OUT THAT HE SPOKE A MILLION WORDS BUT NEVER REALLY SAID ANYTHING. KINDA LIKE A SOYJOY COMMERCIAL. LOADED WITH ........WHATEVER, THE PRODUCT WREAKS OF FAILURE!!!!!

Where's Obama's dumb comments?
"57 states"..
and "huh, huh.. I can't put uh two words uh, together on my huh, mm uh, own.

"The fundamentals of our economy are strong." (insert sound effects of a car crash, followed by any game show losing music.)

Well the woman from Wasilla has been reduce to a poddle.

Can't wait to see and watch the liberal media covering up for Obama and the democrat ilk when they start screwing up America on Jan 22 2009

I feel so bad for the Republicans,I wrote a song about their pain,I play the record between my forefinger and my thumb.

@Kate

"insights"? did you mean "incites"? ignorant much?

I would rate CNNs handling of the news far more goofy than palin or mccain flubs. thank you.

Tina Fey is nowhere near as beautiful and exciting as Palin. She was a poor replacement–the homely sister. Guess her fame is up now that the real star is out of the spotlight. As for Palin not running for President–Obama thought she was–he trashed and mocked her at every turn until somene informed him she was the VP candidate. Obama's best trashy quote was calling his Grandma a "typical white person." that trumps everything anyone else said about racism.

To Kate, who said, "Spoke to soon, EXACTLY! we still have half a month of Blago bullet dodging by Obama folks…..Palin still insights rabid libtards, like CNN, it's great! Go Sarah Palin."

Okay, so you think you are intellectually superior to the "rabid libtards"?

Try learning how to spell, you moron. Insights? How about incites.

I hate to use this word, but, who is the 'tard?

I thought Reverend Wrights quotes would have made the top two.

To Keep you "change"

What a stupid racist, ignorant thing to say. Much respect should be given to Obama, his wife and his children. He is a very fine example for all people, regardless of race. The fact that you and people who think like you can't accept him, speaks volumes to the change we really need!

To Kate, with the undecipherable comment at 9:21pm– do you mean "incites" instead of "insights"? Kinda changes the whole meaning, huh?

if you really think sarah palin is not a fool i think you are the fool. how can you even say she is bright. impossible. people who think sarah palin is a good choice should be shot for stupidity reasons

None of you look well-informed when you're arguing like children...

DAvid, if you want ignorant, Palin is your poster child. The twit cant even name a newspaper she has ever read.

@ Kate

And here I would have thought someone who supposedly supports Palin would realize that she might not like the use of language like "libtards." That's ok though, we've come to expect that kind of hypocrisy from the GOP...party of tropical thunder.

PLEASE... would a liberal out there bashing Palin explain how Biden is better? Is it because he has Senate experience?
–Does it even matter that he was on the WRONG side (even within his own party) of almost every major foreign policy issue in the past 20 years?
–Does it not matter to you people that he didn't know who was President when the Great Depression started or when TV started?
–Did it not matter that he doesn't even know the Ammendment that defines the Vice Presidents job (which is, in effect, his boss the past 30+ years)?

The guy is a walking joke and a bag man for DuPont but you have such blinding hatred for Bush you don't see it. Pathetic.

Now you have Obama handing out cabinet posts to every insider liberal and old friend he can find.... where's the real change he promised you? He just named Chicago's head of Schools as the Education Secretary??? Guess his kids won't be going to public school anytime soon. Have any of you seen the public schools in Obama's old stomping grounds?

Oh well, lots of countries have voted with blinders on in the past because they wanted change..... Germany in the 1930's, Italy in the 1920's, Venezuela a few years ago.... good luck to us all.

Stop discussing me, I'm irrelevant to American Politics now. Please let me fall back to the place I came from, obscurity.

Where is Joe the Plumber, Electrician, Teacher, Hygienist, Waitress, everyman?

SOON AS OBAMA SAYS "I WILL" TO THE NICE CHIEF JUSTICE HE'LL TURN TO IYERS AND ROUGHT AND SAY

"ITSONNOW!!!!"

Joe Biden should be number 1 through 5 with his ignorant comments.

Well ; I wonder who made these selections ?

Here is the plain and simple facts, Sara Palin, believes that ONLY creationism should be taught in PUBLIC schools, She BELIEVES that if you are RAPED by your BROTHER and get pregnant you should HAVE TO KEEP THE SPAWN BY LAW. Thats all anyone should have to know. She is a product of the FAR FAR FAR right, a complete idiot JC freak that actually covered up her teen daughters first pregnancy. Look it up for yourself.

And we are interested in this article because.... ?

I really don't need anyone to tell me what nonsense we have heard this year and during this election campaign... strange that there is always SOMEONE who is eager to tell us what to think and believe! Obviously, this is one man's opinion.

*LOL* I can't help but agree with him on most of them, however!

@ No Hillary = No Obama

Don't forget Yale.

Spoke to soon, EXACTLY!
we still have half a month of Blago bullet dodging by Obama folks.....

Palin still insights rabid libtards, like CNN, it's great! Go Sarah!

@ DE

Sorry dude. That kind of polling does little to deflect polls in places like TX that showed fully 60%+ of the people polled there believed Obama was a Muslim. You're going to have to do better if you want to deflect attention from the GOP's nasty, racist, sexist (yes, picking Palin was based on playing the political sex card, which makes it sexist) and xenophobic misinformation campaign.

I just can't wait for January 20th and then the savior who "speaks so well" can start paying my mortgage and putting gas in my car.

The best quote of the year" of course I have foreign policy experience, we border Russia on one side and Canada on theother" by Sarah Palin. Hysterical!!!! she is one funny chic..... she is so out there!

HAHAHA...it's going to be a very VERY LOOOONG 8 years for some of you HAHAHAHA

Shapiro admitted in another interview that he is a liberal democrat and that influenced his decision to leave Obama and Biden quotes off the top ten list. Stories like this just give creditability to the Zogby Poll that showed that Obama voters knew more Palin's background, real and fictional, of which they didn't know the difference, than Obama's background.

It just goes to show anybody can be an idiot, even people who graduate from Harvard

I consider myself a liberal – but even I see a liberal bias on this list. On a list that seemed to focus on political blunders that became prime soundbites, it seems strange that Obama's "they cling to guns or religion" quote was not ranked. It was a moment in the campaign where the Republicans found their wedge in, and could have very well been a crucial turning point in their favor. Strange that it failed to make the cut.

Republications should just face the fact that the only reason to vote for Palin was that she was good looking. Kind of a 50's thing where the women were good for just a few things and talking was not one of them.

Even if Sarah Palin never becomes president she's still more accomplished than the terminally adolescent liberals with Mommy issues.

It is just something that no one will forget. Give the lady a break. Would like to see more important things highlighted rather than dredging mistakes of the past. Think forward with prosperity.
Benigna Marko

John McCain should be right near the top with his quote that Sarah Palin was ready to be president.

This is almost as lame as the shoe throwing incident. Michael Ware's reaction seemed like he approved of the whole thing. I mean doesn't Brown have any other news to report besides all this redux on the ticker.

Yes, Palin is an easy person to ridicule and she doesn't have the best qualities, but what I find appalling is the ignorance of those who actually attributed Tina Fey's quote and actually believed that Palin said "I can see Russia from my house." I'm talking to you Mr. Hughley, check your facts first and actually watch the news rather than getting it from SNL.

Between this and McCain's ringing endorsement of her, the writing's on the wall...God did the right thing, he sent you back to Alaska and that's where you'll stay.
Palin for KKK president '12. (they can all move to Ak.)

A Canuck December 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

You have to include "that was a size 10 shoe" LOL !!!!!!!
_______________________________________________________
I love it. and the only good thing you can say about that bozo bush is he has good reflexes.

Obama: We've been campaigning in, what is it , fifty, I think it's, yeah, fifty-seven states. And we have one to go, one more to go.

Yes, he said that. Yes, he was serious. You can hear the audience laughing because they think he's joking. They quickly quieted when they realized he wasn't.

Obama: We've been campaigning in, what is it , fifty, I think it's, yeah, fifty-seven states. And we have one to go, one more to go.

Bwoy, she almost finished 1st!!

Bwoy, she almost won that contest!!

Bwoy, she almost finished first!!

Boy, she almost finished first!!

God, some of these comments thrashing Obama are making me laugh very hard.

Please...

WHAT ABOUT "I CAN SEE THE RESCOS DINING ROOM TABLE FROM MY HOUSE, OR GUILTY AS SIN FREE AS A BIRD, OR THATS ABOVE MY PAY GRADE.

...And that's where you'd find the Republican ticket leading the race.!

Finally Obama has been beaten fair & square , LLoooL

Pretty much everything that came out of Palins mouth was utter nonsense.
She needs to just go away.

WHAT ABOUT G-D AMERICA, KEELIN CIVIES AND AIR READIN VILLAGES, I CANT DENY HIM, OR WHAT EVER

To be fair, you're right, both parties make gaffes. The reason you pay more attention to Republican ones is that the media, liberal to the core, gives them much more air time.

I appreciated Tina Fey's portrayal of Palin. It helped me stay informed, as I do not speak in tongues.

peace love and understanding

You can of course quote Palin's 'race baiting' comments. Perhaps you'd like to share some specific ones. I suspect you won't find any. As far as death threats, don't you think it's logical that the first serious black Presidential candidate wouldn't get the most death threats? You're giving Palin too much 'credit'.

where are my comments???

At least the repubs can laugh at themselves. Make fun of a dem or Nobama supporter and they get nasty. Lighten up libs, not everyone laughs behind your back.

Jeff -

Not all of us are conservatives who believe Shapiro's list is another liberal Obama fan's propaganda farce. And of course it's presented by CNN as "news' and defended by folks like you who seem lost in the fantasy of "just words" and oblivious to what's really going on around you politically.

Mark my words, it will not be six months before Chicago politics tests Barack Obama – and your apparent fondness for him.

Talk about funny:

Last time I saw a mouth like lib has, it had a hook in it. The dumbing down of public schools looks like it finally caught up to us here in the USA.

Wow "Len", you must be a product of Liberal public education – your remarks say it all: "oh- and there are no obama or biden quotes because they are actually educated and know what they're talking about."

So, according to Biden "FDR had his fireside chats on TV in 1929". Not to be outdone, Obama campaigned in all 57 states. I can't stop laughing....

How come Palins rambling rollercoaster comment about everything didnt make the list? That one was pretty stupid.

To Gerda Edwards:

Georgia is in Europe.

and to this: “They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?“ (Never materialized) – Obama

Never materialized? Do you mean to tell me you totally missed folks from the republican party saying Barack HUSSEIN Obama, giving heavy emphasis to the Hussein part? You totally missed people at McCains rally yelling "kill him" and no one telling those folks to quiet down or behave? You actually, somehow, managed to miss every instance of McCain and Palin both calling Mr Obama inexperienced? Do you watch TV or read newspapers?

Now we have also great quote from the Iraqi journalist throwing his shoes into criminals. By the way, where we can email him our thanks?

Serious question - as an Obama supporter, I'm truly curious where all this "messiah", etc. stuff came from? I support him for many good reasons and I won't list them all, but I most certainly do not consider him the "messiah" or god-like or any such - where'd that come from?

Jeez, did any of you Republican whiners even read the whole list? They're not ALL about Palin and McCain. And they're not all "dumb things people said this year." I agree that both Obama and Biden had some gaffes during the campaign. But as the article said, they just weren't memorable enough to make the top ten.

I would have put in the top 10 some of Sarah Palin's race-baiting comments that led to the resurgence of white supremacist groups in the US and the greatest number of death threats against a president or president-elect in history. In my opinion, it was her hateful, snarky words–delivered in her "ya hey dere" folksy accent–that stirred up all the vitriol we now see in these posts.

meow. It astounds me how this article turned into such a cat fight, lacking any coherency or intelligence whatsoever.

LIP December 15th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Once and for all…Palin said you can see Russia from Alaska, not her house and you can if you are on the Aleutian island closest to Russia. Fey made the other statement by misquoting Palin. Get it straight idiots and lets not forget that Sarah Palin received 53,000,000 votes, losing by only a few million to Obama and when Hillary ran against Obama she received 18,000,000 votes…quite a contrast.
_____________________________________________________

first of all, you're comparing apples to oranges. second, you're still in a delusional state of mind. Palin was not running for president.

Both parties made some pretty good gaffes this election cycle. It's just a widely accepted fact that Republicans ALWAYS say stupid things (just look at this blog for example), so we pay attention to them more!

pssst......hey repubes, YOU LOST!!! deal with it.
It's our world now!!!

Bravo to the shoe thrower too bad you missed and too bad the shoes were not bricks

Obama rocks!!!!!

6:42pm post NAILED it in so many ways. We bees gettin dat change yoyo! HELP HELP!

To "Anonymous";

You said:

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of this planet. I hope you will join me as we try to change it."–B Obama.

Uhhh, change it to what?"

So let me see if I understand you correctly; in your opinion, being the greatest nation on Earth means we shouldn't try to make it better still??

No wonder you lost.

My 9 year old granddaughter doesn't whine near as much as you conservative buttheads. You lost. Get over it.

And to Gerty (or whatever her name is) who put together a list of verbal miscues by Obama and Biden, you're kidding, right?? So you found eight or ten gaffes between the two of them. Congrats. LOL!! Have you ever HEARD bush speak? Did you watch the Couric interview?? Neither Palin nor bush are able to string together a coherent sentence unless it's written down for them, and even then it's hit or miss. Obama has more intellegence in his left pinky than these two idiots combined.

Your "leaders" had an 8-year run, during which they ran our precious USA into the toilet. Only thing left to say is GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!

Now go back to the Faux News boards where you belong.

Yea, Len, BHObama was the height of intellect when he thought there were 58 states. LOL. He and Biden are as dim-witted as you are.

Is Obamo even an American? Where is his B.C.? What is it about Chicago and corrupt politics? Why does half of America want the USA to cease to exist? This is all NOT funny stuff. And all the Obamo voter can think about is what kind of doggy the king is going to choose. America is in a sad state of affairs......can she recover?

Sister Sarah needs to reimburse the RNC for the Victoria's Secret goods and Todd needs to do the same with $600 worth of silk boxer shorts. Down-home folks? Right!!!!

Gerda-

..."and did I mention he's black"?

Hmm, when I saw the news clip it was "and he doesn't look like the rest of the Presidents"...

But I guess your version makes it a little more titillating, doesn't it?

Say it ain't so joe!

Nobody said that anyone else didn't make any mistaken quotes or gaffs – the article is talking about the top 10 – and if your folks are in the top ten – well then – facts is facts – Right!??

Why are the democrats so afraid of Palin. I think they are afraid they may to contend with her in the future. I think she is attractive, smart, and willing to take on all challenges. Palin iin 2012

To Mike in Syracuse:

It appears one of your like-minded Palin supporters (Mark who posted at 6:30 EST) believes that it was the governor who first said "I can see Russia from my house!" not Tina Fey. As an Obama supporter – and someone absolutely appalled by Palin – I can tell you that I paid close attention to the governor's actual quotes – some of which were used in subsequent SNL skits.

And as far as Mark's comment re: Palin's inability to name the papers or magazines she reads – you consider a public servant keeping herself informed on current events and issues to be a frivolity? After the past nearly 8 years, we need a whole lot more of that kind of frivolity!

Just goes to show Republicans have no sense of humor (without gore), or sense at all, or the idea of freedom of speech, or....

....heck, you pick it.

Gosh Mark, what Kool-Aid did you have to drink to go to that side?
Decency? Yes, the lefties on these blogs go overboard here but not to the level of hate I saw on here from the right wingers, especially during the election.

Just read the comment from "Keep your change" under yours.

All the Republican whack-jobs out there making comments here are just too ignorant to understand scientific methods of study and drawing conclusions. No Republican theo-psycho will ever get a Science-based position in Obama's cabinet.

None of you gun-hugging bible-thumpers believe in principles like habitat carrying capacity, finite resource management, or the second law of thermodynamics. All you think you need to know is in the bible, and since the second coming is at hand there's no need to protect the environment.

You are all quite mad.

It is good to hear Obama state that he will use the best available science on which to base his decisions. I hope he does.

"Inflate your tires."-B. Obama

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of this planet. I hope you will join me as we try to change it."–B Obama.

Uhhh, change it to what?

"Oh c'mon folks. lay off Palin. It is in very poor taste to riducule someone who is mentally limited. You don't poke fun at the village idiot do you?"

I have a button on my work table that says, "Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot," so I guess I have to confess that in some limited circumstances, the answer is yes.

I think Obama's quote "I have now been in all 57 states" is the best. 57?????duh,duh

that should read "..., you need to take your meds."

Get a grip folks! It's just humor. The Obama and Biden gaffes are not funny (yet), but I'm sure there will be enough in the next 4 years suitable for SNL skits. And by the way, Rob, you are need to take your meds.

So funny to watch the losers growl, snort and spit like junkyard dogs. Doesn't matter what the story is, they're just "Mad as Hell and won't take it anymore..." but they have to.

You might have read today that even John McCain has refused to say if he would support Palin as a Presidential candidate. Hindsight's a mess, ain't it?

... she can also say .. I see a bright burning light on the horizon ...

To Gerda Edwards –

Wow, where did you copy this list from, Fox News? Love your last quote, "“They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?“ (Never materialized) Is that your opinion that this tactic never materialized or did you copy this from someone else, too?

McCain, Palin, and the rest of the GOP continuously and vehemently argued that Obama was inexperienced and different. Ergo, the terrorist remarks, the monkey with an Obama sticker, the ridiculous "Hussein" comments. They tried everything they could to prey on Americans' fears of the unknown and of race. Thankfully, a majority of Americans rejected the "rights" fear-based arguments and innuendo. We will not fall victim to our own fears anymore. Of course, fear is still alive in the "red" states of the South, but that's another story for another time.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such pettiness, liberals.
Okay, for all you Kool-Aid drinkers, let me set the record straight. The question to Palin actually included the fact Russia could be seen from some parts of Alaska; she was simply echoing the question in her answer. Second, while many of you elite liberals may have time to read both the L.A. & N.Y. Times cover to cover, this nose to the grindstone woman has just a bit on her plate during the day to day to indulge in such frivolity.
Based on what I read on the CNN blogs, it is quite clear conservatives have the upper hand when it comes to decency. I was a Democrat until the liberals took over my party (the liberal Democrats are quite different from the standard "free-cheese" Democrats, in case you didn't know).

That's right, do not include Obama in the top10. That would be bad bad bad, not to mention RACIST! Can you say Media Bias? The reason nobody pokes fun at the new messiah and his paperbag over the head wife, is out of fear of being called racist. They are OFF limits in every way, which is really sad. Last sounds heard from the USA, "mayday mayday".

glad there's finally an official recognition of all the dumb things republicans say.

maybe tina fey should run for president in 2012 instead of palin. she better represents palin than palin does.

oh- and there are no obama or biden quotes because they are actually educated and know what they're talking about.

Gee, the grapes are really sour this year.

So, let me get this straight...Tina Fey (with her multiple Emmys, her stint on the Weekend Update Desk at SNL, her position as head writer of SNL and authorship of both Mean Girl and Baby Mama) is a "15 minte of fame" flash in the pan, but Sarah Palin is a legitimate political powerhouse with the knowledge, wisdom and experience to guide an nation of millions. Are you kidding me???????

I'm so glad that I live in a vastly different America than some of you folks. Based on intelligence alone, I would vote for Tina in a heartbeat before I would cast my vote for "Shoot 'Em Up" Sarah. She has elevated knowing nothing and being proud of it to a freaking art form! If you can honestly look and listen to this woman and say that you would be proud to have her represent you, then you are an idiot!

As for Obama's ignored "misstatements", if you honestly think that a Harvard Law School graduate doesn't know how many states there are in this country you are wither ignorant or... nevermind...you're just unarguably ignorant.

The number of Obama supporters who think the Tina Fey quote was really made by Palin is just scary. These are the uninformed people who elected Obama.

Gerda, great list. If the press had gone after Obama/Biden as enthusiatically as they did McCain/Palin, we'd have a different PE.

THE BEST QUOTE OF THEM ALL:

"I VOTED FOR OBAMA"

NOT THAT IS SOME FUNNY STUFF RIGHT THERE! MAYBE A TAD MORE SCARY THAN FUNNY. SUPERFICIAL COMES TO MIND.

HOW COME OBOMA AND BIDEN DID NOT BREAK THE TOP 10. OH YEAH, I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THE MEDIA BIAS WHEN IT COMES TO THE MESSIAH!

@Linda: This *is* an objective list.

the republicans shoot from the hips with their quotes; because they can't put a coherent sentence together...and invariably, shot themselves in the foot and lost the white house!!!!

Boy, Rob, you are really out of it intellectually if you think the people of our nation are stupid enough to vote in another idiot for president. Even her constiuents in Alaska are realizing she's a mistake. Her approval rating has plummeted dramatically in her own state.

These are just as dumb, but weren't included.

"After this immediate problem, we've got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows." (Obama, a couple of weeks after McCain’s “fundamentals” quote) – Obama
“Chuck, stand up, let the people see you,” (to wheelchair-bound Chuck Graham) – Biden
“I left the country convinced that Russia's invasion of Georgia may be the one of the most significant events to occur in Europe since the end of communism.” (Georgia is in Asia, not Europe) – Biden
“I’ve now been in 57 states. I think one left to go.” (There are 50 states, 51 if you include DC) – Obama
“For the first time in my adult life, I’m proud of America” – M. Obama
“I can no more disown [Rev Wright] than I can my white grandmother” (a few days before he disowns Rev. Wright) – Obama
“All you have to do is to go down Union Street with me in Wilmington and go to Katie's Restaurant” (even though Katie’s had been closed for over 15 years) – Biden
“The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch.” (Article II defines the Executive Branch) – Biden
“Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union; they don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us” (To be fair, he may actually believe this) – Obama
“It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them” (about people in small towns in PA) – Obama
“They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?“ (Never materialized) – Obama

People are STILL defending Palin? My big toe has more sense than that ignorant clown. Speaks VOLUMES of your character... (or lack thereof).

Hilarious! We all need some laughs right now.

Are these republican wackos for real? Apparently an entire group of people decided to stop taking their meds.

Relax! The quotes are just plain funny, admit it.

Sarah Palin is not mentally challenged, she was just more mentally challenged by the press. They were constantly trying to catch her off guard and anyone could plainly see they didn't press Obama as hard on anything. The hardest question Obama was asked is what is his favorite color and how hard is it to be black.

Hey none of these folks have anything on me and my "gaffs" and quotes – no big deal......so what?? Not news – lets just laugh at ourselves and everyone around us.

Are thy afraid? How about something on Michelle's big butt?

Lots of republicans whining, huh?

I THINK FEY SHOULD GET LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When asked yesterday on ABC-TV's "This Week" whether he would support Palin for prez in 2012, John McCain said, "Oh no. There are so many other wonderful young governors." Even tho McCain said she energized his campaign, he knows (finally) what a mistake he made in choosing her for a running mate. No one could take her seriously.

What about the promise that daughter Bristol will marry her baby-daddy? Is that still in the works?

To Rob – Never, never never in a TRILLION years will she be president of anything, You can go back to your fantasy now.

Still waiting for the clothing auction for charity...

Okay. So we've got the liberal Democrat's biased list, when do we see the conservative biased list – or, be still my heart, an objective list?

Palin can.... now go back ..to her favorite trailer park...and

have her "Six Pack" of kids...!!!

Doc– your $100k in monopoly money is no good here. But Madoff can get you a sweet return on it.

I didn't support McCain but when is his quote on being in Iraq for 100 years goignt o be said correctly?
He was asked how long he thought we would be ther and said as long as it takes, evne 1 00years. Look how long we have been in Germany and Japan.
The implication that he menat fighting for 100 years is absurd.

How about Nobama and his 57 states? oh yeah I forgot, shhhh. Might be called a racist if I talk about him............want some media bias with that?

They couldn't use quotes from Biden, because he's prone to plagiarizing them.

Ollama couldn't be quoted because he kept changing his quotes to match whatever people wanted.

And Fey, well we all know that her 15 minutes of fame is finally over. Anyone who thought she was even remotely funny has the same sort of taste that pushes movies like Beethoven 3 to the top of the box office.

Matt

Just quoting the Chicago Tribune, not the x-files... and the only fabrication that concerns me is Axlerod saying one thing and changing after the arrest... that and a half million in property

Time will tell

You have to include "that was a size 10 shoe" LOL !!!!!!!

Missing – Tina Fey saying, "Are we not doin' the talent portion?" then playing the flute.

Who will SNL get to portray Obama once he starts screwing up? Oh wait, that's right, SNL and the rest of the libs will never admit to him screwing up. Besides, wouldn't it be blasphemy to ridicule the Messiah?

What a poetic way to end 8 sorry years of leadership. Ducking flying shoes. File that under you ego Bush. They probably won't publish this but I don't care. I had the fun of writting it.

As much as I loved Fey's impression and loathed Palin herself, it did bother me that people confused Fey's Russia spoof as being an actual quote. But, as the campaign went on, I valued it being mistaken as a real quote more and more. There was another skit that was almost verbatim to the Palin/Couric innterview. "It's all about job security."

But, of course, I am dumber than a pocketful of rocks and about as usefull.

Ha ha, even John McCain said he wouldn't vote for Palin if she runs next time! That has got to be the worst VP pick ever! Cheney, while being pure evil, at least wasn't totally stupid.

"I can see everything Obama says will become Bible, just like The Apsotle Paul's. "

Obama's might have something in it that's actually VERIFIABLE, unlike Paul's.

@ LIP –

Sarah Palin was the VP pick. McCain, not Palin, received about 57 million votes to Obam's 65 million (53-46, which is pretty large in today's politics).

Clinton received 18 million votes – a record number – in the primaries where only limited numbers can vote due to party affiliation. You can't compare the two.

Nice try though.
---
"and lets not forget that Sarah Palin received 53,000,000 votes, losing by only a few million to Obama and when Hillary ran against Obama she received 18,000,000 votes…quite a contrast."

we are mavericks, should be number 1

I like the quotes chosen. I can't wait to hear the entire list.

It amazes me how some people take a simple (non-partisan) article like this one and use it to trash the other side. If you are one of those people, I think you need to take a break from politics for a while. Seriously, behaving this way can't be healthy. Take a deep breath and come back in a month or two when you can express your views without all of the un-healthy and un-helpful negativity.

If Sarah Palin is the first woman president, I will absolutely KNOW that the American Public has LOST its Collective MIND!

Get over it, Repubs.... you lost! Suck it up.... the Right Wing Fundamentalists have lost their hold over the majority of the American Public! You are on your way out.... you are NOT the majority, but the Minority.... and grow more so daily!

Wow...I think it says a lot about the stories CNN chooses to run when Tina Fey has the top spot while Obama's gaffe about "guns and religion" didn't even make the list. While Obama is an incredibly talented speaker, he admited that that was his biggest "bone-head" move. This is consistent with the stories and even the comments CNN has chosen to run during this election cycle. It's amazing to see the difference in reporting. All I can say is, get your news from as many different sources as you can. Don't go to just CNN, or just Fox news. Go to all of them, both left-leaning (CNN) and right-leaning (Fox News). the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

YES WE CAN!

That was the best one in my opinion.

I admit that I or no man or woman on this planet can come close to being as funny as a liberal Democrat using the words honesty and integrity, that's priceless!!!

The lib-bot dishonest lie of a so called defense of Biden saying that he meant that FDR said it while governor of New York is typical left wing lying and defense of their owners at all costs. Osama wishes his idiots had the loyalty of Obamas.

Hey at least with Obama as president 100% of this country is now behind the president, which was never the case over the last 8 years. In my state some libs were celebrating on 9/11 as their neighbors had lost loved ones, they are that sick. However if you read this blog or many others on the net, then you already know who the lib really is by now anyway.

You know.... I saw one of those scandal sheets and right on front was the lie that I have heard over and over hear.... As Creator is my witness I almost spit up in my mouth right there in the grocery store.

I am horrified that people are still saying that Obama is not an American Citizen because he was not born in the U.S. As well that he has a forged Birth Certificate!

At the risk of sounding redundant... since I can't say it to the scandal sheet I will say it here.... IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE OBAMA WAS BORN... .HIS MOTHER WAS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.... NO MATTER WHERE SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER CHILD, HE IS STILL AN AMERICAN CITIZEN... AND HE DOES NOT NEED TO FORGE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO PROVE IT!!!

So I would like to say that the quote I would add to the list is that ignorant fear or threat that Barack Obama is NOT a citizen of this country and has a forged birth certificate! I am so tired of the Fear Mongering!

@ Betty the Maid and CNN

TWAT? Really? That's ok in a post? HAHAHAHA

TWAT TWAT TWAT TWAT TWAT

TWAT do I owe this humorous good fortune?

Let's face people, Sarah Palin is funny, no one will ever take her seriously. Heck Republican men don't even take her serious. The best they could say about her is that "she's pretty!" The only reason she got the nod for VP is because McCain thought he could snag Hillary supporters and when that didn't work they made the mistake of letting her run rampant which gave us more things to laugh about.
Sarah Palin is SNL, Comedy Network and every comedian's dream come true...she's a punchline.
God Bless Sarah Palin.
Dx

You have to admit, that Tina Fey line was priceless. She did such a great lampoon of Palin.

@ beth

No no no...you've got it all wrong. Think garden tools or something. She apparently insists on naming her male children nouns.

jim--57 islamic states? Where did you get that Kool-Aid?

Obama had campaigned in 47 states, he was thinking 50 states, and it came out "57 states". No big deal here, it is just a cognitive slip-up.
Frankly, if this is the best you right wingers have, then the next four years should be pretty great.

Let's face it -PALIN is just plain ignorant !!!

NEWSFLASH: GOP cry babies Obama won! get over it. Get back to your party of racists!

rodlang December 15th, 2008 3:38 pm ET
No you didn't hear those words come out of Palin's mouth because she didn't say it. Tina Fey said those words.

---------------------------------

Right...what she actually said was, ""They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

Which is equally if not more stupid.

How about these:

"A coal powered plant will bankrupt them." (Obama)

"A three letter word: J-O-B-S." (Biden)

"I've now been to 57 states, I think. One left to go." (Obama)

"We shouldn't worry about the federal defecit over the next few years." (Obama after ridiculing Bush for the same thing)
==============================================

To Jeff who said this, are u kidding? this is nothing compared to the so-called "when Putin rears his head into Alaska's airspace".

U guys lost it big time. Stop cryin

I wonder how many of these hypercritical bloggers voted for GWB twice?

And now you want us to believe that you're all some sort of astute and enlightened political thinkers all of a sudden? Please!

Can Obama be sworn in first? I mean, before you try to tear down his entire political career?

Get a grip

of course it tops the list. Palin is the joke of the century. She will be remembered everytime there's an General election.

Well, 5 years from now, provided we make it that long, we'll have an even longer list of gaffes, gaffaws, foot-in-mouths, and other examples of idiocy and stupidity courtesy of the Obama administration and the Democrat controlled Congress (that is unless Obama can't keep his skeletons in check).

Oh, and to all you libs, fems, and others kooks who can't see what obivous when it's right in front of your faces, the first female president will be Sarah Palin, and not Hillary Clinton.

The Apostle Barack December 15th, 2008 4:10 pm ET
I can see everything Obama says will become Bible, just like The Apsotle Paul's. A star or a savior is born… The White House is built just for him, and his family. Will Michelle Obama be our first woman president, so moral, honest, pure, wise and Goldy?

------------------------------–

You know...I've never heard one Obama supporter in my life refer to him as a god...only the Republicans. I guess they just don't understand what it's like to really get behind a candidate so they make fun of it. I suppose I can understand that considering the caliber of candidates they've had to choose from in pretty much every election since I've been alive.

Thank you, Betty the Maid at 4:19! We need Americans to be MORE intelligent from now on, not less. And Palin and her followers fall into the "less" category...

Of course, this proves again that the media has no liberal bias. It was just Republicans that made comments worthy of the top ten.

It's no wonder no one takes the "Big 3-1/2" seriously.

@LIP December 15th, 2008 3:54 pm ET
--------------
1) McCain was at the top of the ticket...as such, HE recieved the 53 mil votes
2) In a sense you could say that Palin on the ticket was the DIFFERENCE between McCain and Obama. In essence, she COST McCain the election (thank god)
3) The difference of a general election vote and a primary vote (your 18 mil compared to 56 mil) is comparing apple to oranges. The 18 mil votes that Hillary recieved was in a PRIMARY, in which the norm is for only democrats to vote for democrat and republicans to vote for republican.

You really are a dillusional freak of nature. Empty minds and ridiculous comparisons! I bet you voted for Palin!

to Dan and all others like him.... How in the BLANK can a Lemming or little lamb like yourself call any Conservative or Republican a Sheep.

Give me a BREAK!

@Beth – Geez, being mean to a newborn. Doesn't get much lower.

Palin 2012 !!! I'm behind her 1000% !!

For all you Palin bashers out there, why can't you THINK for yourselves?? Must you go along with what the media tells you? You are too pathetic!

Sarah Palin IS A GENUINE LEADER! It was unfortunate that the McCain advisors, who only later blamed her for his loss and trashed her, programmed Palin to say this or to say that. This is why she seemed too often, caught up with her answers. They should have NEVER tied her hands. Sarah Palin is BEST when she is unleased! NEVER forget that! She is going to come out swinging in the future. You watch! Then we can see the fools you Palin Bashers really are!

sarah rules she is more popular than barack obama. i love her.

My favorite was from John McCain....."My fellow prisoners" when he was doing a rally.

No wonder Tina Fey hung up her Sarah Palin costume. No more attention for the Guv who almost became a heartbeat away from the Presidency, please. Palin and her quotes are so famous now, she honestly believes her popularity is a good thing. Seeing McCain backpeddling from giving her the podium in the first place, is a sure sign he realizes the mistake he made. He opened Pandora's box, and now Pandora Palin won't go back into her box.

I can see Russia from Philadelphia

Another fascinating story from the liberal media.
The fact that Obama and Biden did not have any of their quotes on the top ten...or Rev. Wright for that matter (we wouldn't want to bring him up again and tarnish the image of the savior), is almost as funny as Sarah Palin's quotes.

Lemme guess, Sarah Palin was acussed of being clueless and not having what it takes to be Vice President, yet you liberal freaks think Caroline Kennedy (who has NEVER held and elected office) is qualified to be a U.S. Senator?

Are we not past voting for someone because of his or her famous last name? Pathetic!

The best Palinism was " Say it ain't so Joe"?

Tom –
There's a strange amalgam(?) of humor and contempt when I think of the legions of [tards] who actually believe that Tina Fey was making up Sarah Palin's quotes.

She said it, maybe if you educated yourself (is that socialism, sharing of knowledge and ideas?) you would realize that Palin did say that she has foreign policy experience because she can see Russia from Alaska. She also supported this by saying when the Russian president flies to the US, he flies over Alaska.

Jeez– ignoring her apparently won't make her go away.

My personal favorite was what Palin DIDN'T say...when Katie Couric asked her about a Supreme Court case other than Roe vs. Wade. Obviously, Governor Palin isn't up on her own state; one of the juiciest cases tried in the last 20 years was the State of Alaska vs. the Exxon Valdez! Can't see how a Governor of the state of Alaska which is reaping billions from Exxon and the shipping company could somehow not know about THAT one.

By the way, yes Obama and Biden made some verbal gaffees; geez, I hope to heaven they did! I LIKE Biden, and I laughed like crazy about his FDR and the radio quote! But the fact of the matter is, they KNOW they made gaffees, they've laughed at themselves about it. What made McCain's, Palin's and Gramm's quotes so memorable were the fact that they were deadly serious, and have never once admitted they made a mistake! For all you Palin worshippers, YES, she did make the quote that was slightly paraphased by Tina Fey. That's actually what made the SNL stuff so funny - they used her own words!

Let's all pray that Palin finds her niche in life...namely appearing on daytime talk shows, and doing advertising for Alaskan auto dealers!
And...actually (to reply to another blog)....Palin DID say she can see Russia from her house, and that airplanes 'fly over' Alaska, so she is the first to welcome them to this country, etc, etc......
The award is MOST DESERVED!!!!

yeah, i think that most politicians have 'misspoke' from time to time. the difference is that palin repeated her stupidities over and over. if that's the best that the republican party can do in 2012, i'm even more grateful to now be a registered democrat. i can't believe that i actually know people that thought that she was a credible candidate. my toddler is smarter than she is and has a lot better manners.

Obama's 57 states was top dumbest hands down. Of course that didn't make the list. Liberals have selective memory.

Is it any surprise that Shapiro couldn't find any comments that were awe-inspiring? Could it be the left wing side of his own limited brain power or did he actually think that because Obama said he had visited all 57 states, with maybe one to go, that it was true?

What kind of retard would actually defend Sarah Palin? They must be dumber than she is.

Face it folks, Sarah Palin is dumb as any twat can be and her hill billy supporters are not far behind.

Obama won...get over it repubes, it's our world now. Hee hee hee

And...too bad that shoe was not a brick!!!!

How about these:

"A coal powered plant will bankrupt them." (Obama)

"A three letter word: J-O-B-S." (Biden)

"I've now been to 57 states, I think. One left to go." (Obama)

"We shouldn't worry about the federal defecit over the next few years." (Obama after ridiculing Bush for the same thing)

It makes me wonder, if the American people are blind to what is taking place in the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

They seem to strive on simple things, and try to blemish other individual, while at the same time, they are being kicked out of their jobs, and the like.

This is the reason the greates nation on this planet is going under, because they strive on NEGATIVITY

All this is great, but I still do not know where to email thanks to that journalist that thrown shoe into Bush. Of course, all these crooks, Bush, Cheney etc. should be in prison for a while by now, but at least a shoe...

@ An Obama Supporter

Youre' right. Sayign that there's no link between Obama and Blago and should have earned CNN a spot on that list. I mean, a news outlet speaking the truth? That's complete crazy talk!

Wonder what part this media-fueled hated of Sarah Palin had in convincing someone to light fire to her church over the weekend.

so, has palin's second grandchild been born yet? i wonder what the name will be....hmm....jethro, ellie mae....

@ Chi Town

The only backside involved in this is mine, and you can kiss it. Wishful thinking and repetition of fabrications and X-Files style conspiracy theories will not make your dreams of Obama having an untoward link to Blagojevich into a reality. So yeah, sorry to break your heart, but you're just going to have to watch more FOX news with the inconvenient truth that they're all liars floating aroudn in the back of your narrow little mind.

Of course. Larry, Moe and Curly. Always good for a laugh. What about Joe the Ignorant Plumber? He's a bigger laugh than all three of them put together.

My favorite Palin blunder was when she thought she was holding a conversation with the President of France......That woman loves attention. Todd please attend to your wife.

How bout the one the whole Republican Party chanted 1 hour after Palin was named. " I don't know Her, but She's the best". !!

@ Doug, New Jersey who said

"What is a Democrat without double standards, hate, and lies? No answer since you can't find one without that qualities-LMFAO!!!"

If you only understood the irony of a Republican trying to crack that joke...

I can see everything Obama says will become Bible, just like The Apsotle Paul's. A star or a savior is born... The White House is built just for him, and his family. Will Michelle Obama be our first woman president, so moral, honest, pure, wise and Goldy?

To Markus, and Tom in Delaware:

Enough with the Libtards and Reptards. You both sound emotionally and developmentally disabled when you throw those around.

The internet gives people the daily excuse to revert back to a mean mental age of 8, I swear to God...

Can't wait till next year and see how many inane half-truth Obama comments make it to the list. The liberals are in charge now.....

Oh c'mon folks. lay off Palin. It is in very poor taste to riducule someone who is mentally limited. You don't poke fun at the village idiot do you?

Where are Obama and Biden's quotes?

Nowhere - they dont say dumb things like Republicans!

Shapiro is a hack and it is AMAZING that Obambi and his 57 states doesn't show up, his clinging to guns and religion or Biden acting "real" by going to his favorite diner for dinner when it actually closed over TWENTY years ago, or how about his getting the PRESIDENT wrong in 1929 or THE FACT THAT THE TV WAS NOT INVENTED YET!

How about your beloved SOS Hillary LYING about ducking sniper fire?

How about Obama saying that he would accept campaign finance rules and would call McCain about agreeing to it, but the call never came?

How about calling his grandmother a "typical white person".

How about his saying that Ayers is mainstream?

Ya, "Shapiro", you are not some liberal hack are you, but this proves AGAIN how Obama and ALL his cohorts can say anything and nothing happens, is said, or as THE EXIT POLLS SHOWED, NOT REPORTED.

I will save the best for last, "I did not, nor did my staff EVER contact or DISCUSS my Senate seat with the Governor".

Really Barry?

More lies and the meager reporting on them.

I liked McCain saying Hello my fellow prisioners. I think yes we can should be on that list. McCain said "my friends" enough it should have been number one on the list.

I guess I don't get these lists. They are calling it a top-10 list, but it should be called the worst-10 list. All quotes in here are "bad" quotes. I understand the ranking but not the heading basically...

My top 10 quotes would have at least 5 Obama quotes. I think he would need his own category. Look at some of these quotes..
"We are the ones we have been waiting for".
"Change just doesn't come from Washington....Change comes TO Washington."
"I am asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington.....I am asking you to believe in yours."
"The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down."

I can go on and on....

Where is the post of PE – Obama nor his staff had no "dealings" with the Gov. of IL, CNN? Just heard it, now you guys in the MSM to put it to rest.

Brian fr Fort Hill SC,

Thanks for the laughs that Biden has foreign policy street creds!! LOL!!

Biden is the same guy who said we should divide Iraq into three countries.

Biden is the guy who vote against Reagan star wars arms build up during the cold war that led to the fall of the Soviet Union.

Biden is the guy that had to be convince to support US forces stopping the genocide in Kosovo/Bosnia conflict.

Biden is the guy that has be on the wrong side of every foreign policy issue!
Research it fool!!

Foreign Policy creds my arse!! Biden is just a windbag!!

LOL MD! It's not CNN's list. 'Sides, if lies made the list, I think McCain's little quote about Obama wanting to teach sex ed to kindergarteners might have taken second place, topped only by Palin's (remember her husband was in a political party that advocated seccession from the United States) accusing Obama of "palin' around with terrorists." I agree with you in principle though, that those lies should have been included!

So now that they lost and Obama is part part of this whole deal in IL we still have to hear about Palin?

What does it matter what anyone says during any campaign. The one
thing Americans love is being lied to. Tell them the truth and they
cringe. Anyone with character doesn't want to run for public office
because the candidate knows that if he or she has honorable
standards, the media will smear and lie for ratings; and, the "we have
a right to know" public eats it up. It's too bad that people without a
college degree are allowed to vote. The Republicans liked Palin
only because she carries her library card up her skirt.

Tom in Delaware - Tina Fey’s “I can see Russia from my house” impersonation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took the No. 1 spot on the list.

There's a strange amalgam of humor and contempt when I think of the legions of Libtards who actually believe that Sarah Palin said this instead of Tina Fey.

--------------------------------

Gotta love the short-term memory of all the right-wing sheep. No wonder they were able to tolerate the last eight years ... they weren't in denial, they just actually believed that nothing happened!!!

Gee – now campbell brown can spend an entire episode dedicated to the sexist treatment of these two women. LOL
That show really needs to go. She should be replaced with someone with a brain. JMO.

I love Tina Fey – and I despise that shameful duo of McCain and Palin.
McCain and Palin shamed themselves, their party, and their country.
I wish they would just go away.

WHY does the media insist on keeping Palin around? This is just sad and pathetic how far the "news" organizations will go just to keep her in the spot light.

Get it through your heads... most of America hates this woman and what she stands for.

Stick her back in Alaska where she "belongs" so the rest of us can get on with more serious business. I know I'm not the only one sick of seeing her face and hearing her name.

Once and for all...Palin said you can see Russia from Alaska, not her house and you can if you are on the Aleutian island closest to Russia. Fey made the other statement by misquoting Palin. Get it straight idiots and lets not forget that Sarah Palin received 53,000,000 votes, losing by only a few million to Obama and when Hillary ran against Obama she received 18,000,000 votes...quite a contrast.

Hallo, Madame Palin, Ce'st Nikolas Sarkozy from France. I miss you, mon cherie amour, why have you not called me? Non, non, honeste, it reeely is me this time.

they wish!

What about Obama bin Laden?

I like Obama's bitter people clinging to guns and religion quote.

It was played off as a gaffe, but I think he was right on the mark, especially if you hear the whole context of the quote.

Ah...... The Memories. Loved it all.

My favorite is "That was a size 10"

LOL.

I love it when the republican fan base blames 'liberals' for making their idols/politicians look stupid. Almost as if to say: "Yea, they is stupid...but...you bad for make them look stupider. Stupid is as stupid does me mama always tole me!"

No ladies and gents, Liberals do not have the power to MAKE them stupid. They simply ARE. They REALLY did say those things. And you wonder, why oh why did they lose? Deal with it!

Hey, Republicans, stop living in such an echo chamber that you freak out with anger over a list of memorable quotes that is published every year. The thin skins you all show about Sarah Palin's utter lack of intellectual curiosity is breathtaking.

I love how these quotes just roll off the tongue. I am sure all of America will be repeating these for years. Who puts out this crap.

One of the best ones is when Joe Biden asked that guy to stand up so the audience could applaud. The problem was, that guy was in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up.

Man that was funny, that was real. That should've made the list! I think he was just picking the quotes that made the news cycle.... so of course it is skewed toward McCain and Palin.

Hey Doug,

In 1929, FDR was Governor of the state of New York, appeared on the newsreels in that capacity, and vilified the bankers just as thoroughly as he could have done on TV.

In other words, Biden got the story right, except for misidentifying a medium that disappeared from the US fifty years ago as TV. Chances are the film was played on a TV when Biden saw it.

More succinctly: you're nit-picking, give it a rest.

Chi Town> You're a troll, plain and simple. You constantly post the same garbage over and over. Stop being a sore loser.

On topic: I don't think the media should give Palin any more coverage. Her 15 min. are up.

Tina Fey’s “I can see Russia from my house” impersonation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took the No. 1 spot on the list.

If I hadn't heard it come out of Palin's mouth, I wouldn't believe it. To justify her foreign experience, she made this silly remark on several occasions
_____________________________

No you didn't hear those words come out of Palin's mouth because she didn't say it. Tina Fey said those words.

To all Right minded people quit wasting your time reading
the B.S. on this D.L.S.C. party site. Leave this site to the D.,L.S.C.
PARTY COWARDS. Good by cnn.

Where are Obama and Biden's quotes?
_________________________________
There are none because this guy is an admitted liberal democrat. He could have put any of the Biden gaffes on the list or Obama's quote about rural Americans bitterly holding onto their guns and bibles. But he conveniently left those off the list.

ENOUGH ABOUT IDIOT PALIN

Palin is so dumb everytime I remember her non-sense answers I cringe

And let's not forget, "It takes a Village-a Village of Idiots."

So here's a question, why is it that the SNL skit mocking the NY Gov is considered crossing the line, yet the skit saying that the Palin family committed incest was just considered funny?

Wouldn't have anything to do with the political parties of those involved would it? Bet ya would've never seen a skit mocking Barrack's absent father during the election, would ya? Nope, didn't think so.

And the Republicans wonder why they lost so badly. You need not look any further than the current Idiot-in-Chief for another clue.

Doug,

No one denies what Biden said. It just isn't funny enough to make the list. "I can see Russia from my house" is top notch because it captures the triviality of the woman in one stupid statement.

You should review your comments about the Democrats' penchant for hate and lies after reflecting on the Republicans' infamous Southern Strategy. Now who's guilty of double standards?

Then again, I suppose in your own mind you believe you won the argument with cute little phrases like "libs." Good for you Doug.

you are a liar, you did NOt hear this come from palins mouth, it was said by that disgusting little skank on saturday night live, i have $1,000,000 in CSAH to ANYONE who can come up with videotape showing PALIN saying it. any takers?

Ummm...so why didn't Obama make the list right next to McCain's #5 when Obama said a couple of weeks later on Sept 29th? –

"After this immediate problem, we've got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows."

I know! Because he's a Democrat!

Obama and Biden made a ton of quotes that were crazy, incorrect and sometimes absurd. Granted, they weren't usually featured in the news because they didn't fit "the narrative". But it takes the fun out of it if you are going to compile a list just to advance "the narrative". Heck, especially when the election is already over.

Wait a sec... I guess now the goal would be to advance "the narrative" to provide continuing cover for the incoming government. Ahhh... OK, now I understand.

What about GW Bush – "Look out! Shoe!"

What about Obama's quote that there will be no lobbyists in his adminstration? Guess outright lies don't get counted in the CNN list.

Palin's own comments were almost as bad as "I can see Russia from my house"

Remember when she said ... "where is it that Putin goes, when he rears his ugly head .... it's right across the border... into Alaska".... She did try to claim "foreign affairs" experience based on proximity to Russia.... How weak was that?!

Who can ever forget how funny Fey was just by repeating 99.5% verbatim, the words that came out of Palin's mouth?

Doug, New Jersey December 15th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Ha ha, lying dishonest libs act as if Biden never said that President FDR went on TV in 1929. Most libs probably think FDR was president then and that Americans had television in their homes as well.
------------–
You're right about Joe Biden. Both VPs made plenty of dumb statements. Biden was able to get away with his because he was well known, and already had foreign policy street-cred.

Even so, comparatively speaking, Palin still came across as a female version of Dan Quayle.

Is anyone ever going to admit that the "57' states in his commit are really the 57 islamic states in the world?

Nah, That would give cred to his statement that –if things get really bad, I'll come down on the side of islam.

To recognize that would make the libs who voted him in look stupid!

Let all hope that things don't get that bad!

Oh... almost forgot the "57 states" quip.

What about "it's above my pay grade"? What about what The Obamination said to Joe the Plumber?

Of course these wouldn't dare make the top 10, pretty much for the same reason sharks don't eat lawyers.

Are there any normal people in the Republican party?

They all seem to be old and just plain crazy. I think the 50's and early 60's "communist McCarthy crap"scare tactics must have scared you for life.

THANK YOU,THANK YOU. ALL THE MAVERICKS IN THE HOUSE PUT YOUR HANDS UP.

To Tom in Delaware,

Hate to burst your "fantasy' bubble there buddy but she actually
did say that. " you betcha!" LOL!!

I'm from New York. And I used to smell New Jersey from my house!!

wait a minute did Sarah Palin actually say something ? Guess I slept through that

Jeff December 15th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Jackson made the list. Just read the whole article and you'll know.

I don't know who is the bigger and least intellgent moron – Bush or Palin. Thank God neither will ever be in the White House! The age of stupidity is finally over.
God help us all as Obama, his new team, and our new Congress who is finally focused on "We the People" tries to restore our nation both here at home and on the world stage. We finally have an intelligent and good and decent man as our incoming President. Honor and Integrity will once again return to the White House. Jan 20th cannot get here soon enough!

That Idiot will make Tina Fey rich, she just keeps on giving.

Palin= LOSER

What about McCain and "I WILL VETO ALL BEER?"

@Tom in Deleware

You are correct that it was Tina Fey and not Palin who said "I can see Russia from my house!" That is why the quote is credited to Fey. Try reading the article.

What Palin actually said was: "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

I don't think Fey's line was much of a stretch, do you? Either way, it was idiotic. Regardless, she's now irrelevent, thank God. By the way, why do you think that "Libtards" as you call them, are worse that Conservatards? So-called conservatives just get their daily serving of BS from uncle Rush, so they're equally uninformed.

Tina Fey does Palin better than Palin does Palin. It had to be number one!

Ha ha, lying dishonest libs act as if Biden never said that President FDR went on TV in 1929. Most libs probably think FDR was president then and that Americans had television in their homes as well.

What is a Democrat without double standards, hate, and lies? No answer since you can't find one without that qualities-LMFAO!!!

Phil Gramm takes the "Moron of the year award" with his quote.His deregulation policies led to our financial collapse,but we shouldnt whine or cry about it.

These 'Country First" Quotes from various McCain/Palin crossburnings should be included....

"You Need Gloves to Touch Him"
"He's an.....he's an....an...arab"
"Terrorist!"
"Kill Him!"

Makes you proud to be an American....

All's fair in love and politics

Obama/Biden didn't have any.....

The quote I want kept in the news is Obama's promise to get out of Iraq – and I mean OUT. They don't want us there; Americans do not want to be there – just get out, and like Vietnam, let them figure this all out.

As fas as Afghanistan goes, we have no business being in there either – GET OUT.

1 – The elected President of Afghan is a heroin dealer in cahoots with the worst of that country which supplies 90% of the world's heroin being grown and harvested under the eyes of the US and UN forces there.
2 – Afghan is corrupt from the top to the bottom and the US presence is doing nothing to stop it
3 – NO army – not the Russians, and not Alexander the Great, has been successfull waging war in this country -- we have NO hopes of winning anything – We have 30,000 troops in country; the Russians had 100,000 there for 10 years and they left with little to show for it

Just get out and come home ......our policy and our plans are circular, non distinct, and impossible to achieve anything lasting. Our country's history of regime change is abysmal – we stink at it, and we should just stop it. Let's fight our wn problems here at home - homeland security, the economy, illegal immigration, healthcare. et al

"This is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen." -Bill Clinton

Don't forget that one, LOL!! Boy, that was cool...

Dear Sir as hard is to believe but unlike Sarah Palin, Paris Hilton is a smart woman, and she knows Africa is a continent not a country..

so when ya'll lemmings of the false nobama prophet stop worshipping your false nobama god? just sickening

PALIN 2012

Considering the huge number of our esteemed electorate that thought Gov Palin was Obama's running mate, the entire election was really a bad joke!

this is one reason why we have such a great leader today, american voters no best.

My favorite, "We're just havin' some out here!" Sarah Palin at the turkey farm.

umm when is she goin to fade away? geezzz,

This is a recurring nightmare!!

...and leave it to Tom in Delaware to keep on meding the rift this country is in.
Good to see you right wingers keep saying it's the lefties who are the problem here.

Tom in Delaware – what Palin actually said about it wasn't too far off, you "Reptard."

Did you get "amalgam" off your word of the day calendar today?

Tom in Delaware: She very well did say it, not in those exact words if you want to be picky, but she even tried to defend it as her national security credentials. You remember the part about "when the Russian President rears his head over that water and enters US air space, where do they go? It's Alaska!" That should have been hands down #1 comment of the year. I hate to be rude, and it's ok to like and admire somebody, but to not admit (now that it's all over and America agrees) that she's an absolute incompetent for this position and not too many nuts away from a pecan pie is beyond naivity; it makes you look as out of touch as she was. Jus' sayin.

Tom: Ms Palin did tout the proximity of Russia as a qualification for her to be vice president. She did say "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska".

And we would do very well to remember those Sarah Palin quotes should she ever try to run for national offie again, God forbid!

worthless article

Interesting almost all of them are from folks who were critical of the Messiah's campaign....

It's really a sad thing to see Palin the idiot still getting so much attention.

Sick of Palin CNN, every other day she is on front street, and if she
not......she does something or say something to put her back in the media....and you CNN is playing right into her hands. We dont care about her she is yesterday news......watch if she is not on the news
she will do something to get back on the news, seems like to me she
is playing the media how she fsee fit ! NO MORE PALIN. Who is really the one getting PLAY?!!!!!!

Gee – shocking that all the top quotes are from Republicans. Would never have expected that. So original. Of course Obama's 57 states or honoring dead veterans in the audience, or Michele Obama's I've never been proud or Jessie Jacksons rant about Obama didnt make the list.

nothing about our "57" states?

It's not hard to see why the McCain/Palin ticket lost so badly.

CNN and the rest of the MSM should also be on the list for their constant use of statements like "There is absolutely no evidence linking PE Obama with the scandal surrounding the Gov of Illinois but questions linger". I though Gov. Palin was a joke but the reporters, pundits and commentators on CNN take the cake.

Not even close to being news!!!!

I think Palin will be a joke for all eternity!

When they ridicule and imply that Sarah Palin's husband is having sex with his own daughters that's considered good old fashioned fun but when its a democrat now they have gone too far. Typical double standard bias.

She's a POS, but god I just can't deny how sexy Palin is

The pit bull has now been reduced to poodle. Hope she doesn't scar her children with this terrible publicity.

Ah! Those left wing Yalies are at it again.
How can they disparage the genius of Sarah Palin and Paris Hilton.

Tina Fey’s “I can see Russia from my house” impersonation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took the No. 1 spot on the list.

There's a strange amalgam of humor and contempt when I think of the legions of Libtards who actually believe that Sarah Palin said this instead of Tina Fey.

The "Pit Bull" simply refuses to go away. She cannot take a hint. LOL

It pays to be clueless!!!!!!

I think they anounced the winners too soon... This is gonna be a good one.

“I have never spoken to the governor on this subject. I am confident that no representatives of mine would have any part of any deals related to this seat,”

It's looking like this one might bite someone in the backside!

Wow and to think these people wanted to lead our great nation. We dodged a bullet folks.

Where are Obama and Biden's quotes?
