Fatwa Issued Against Pakistani President for ‘Flirting’ With PalinPosted on Sep 29, 2008
Tina Fey, in character again as Sarah Palin for last weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” made light of how the Republican vice presidential candidate was “literally” embraced by “a couple of them Pakistani guys” she met at the United Nations last week. Unfortunately for Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, though, the prayer leader of Islamabad’s Red Mosque isn’t laughing about Zardari’s encounter with Palin last Thursday.

Oh,
Report thisBTW, my wife has the window-shopping view:
“When he stops looking I’ll bury him.”

“But if he ever touches I’ll bury him with two broken arms!”

Ah, Cyrena:
You are much more blood-thirsty than I am…Revenge should be appropriate to the person. Remember in “Trading Places” when Eddie Murphy tells Dan Akroyd. “Seems to me the best way to hurt rich people is to turn them into poor people”?
No, corruption charges, abuse of office charges, illegal hunting charges (if Alaska has such a thing), conviction, incarceration and public humiliation—and removal of her kids since she’s an unfit mother…plus the knowledge that she will now, never be rich!
All these things would be far more satisfying. And legal too!

• “…I wouldn’t mind seeing her skinny-dipping to check for tats—as long as she doesn’t say anything…otherwise one of two reactions will happen: either rolling on the floor laughing (a la Tina Fey’s verbatim recitation) or getting violently ill.”
Ok ITW, let’s make a deal here. If you get permission from your wife to be a momentary pig, I’ll make sure Palin is bound and gagged first, before the skinny dipping. Then she won’t be able to say anything, and you won’t get sick.
AFTER that, (and now that you’ve explained the field dressing process to me) I DO think we should field dress her. I’ll just put a scarf or something over my eyes, and you can tell me when it’s safe to peek out. (like before or after her guts are actually removed.).
Somebody should preserve the tats so the family can have a memorial of sorts. Failure to do so would be really cruel.

ITW and Cyrena, don’t forget that Ms. Sarah couldn’t even recall the recent Supreme Court case of the Exon Valdez, which originally happened in her territory. Wow!
And as for all those men out there who think she is hot. You obviously have been deprived of actual good looking, well educated intelligent women based in reality and not the world of fantasy of never ending war, that this political war monger is an avid member.

Inherit,
I have a feeling you might be right about the tattoos, but how would we verify to settle the bet?
I suppose we could field dress her like she does the moose. That should pretty much reveal all. But, you know what comes before that, and I don’t want either one of us going to jail over that.
But, since she’s had all of those kids, seems like her obstetrician could tell us if we bribed him.
If that doesn’t work, we could arrange to get First Husband Todd drunk, and see if he’ll spill the beans.
Tell ya the truth, I already believe you, so I don’t really care to see it, but I wouldn’t mind witnessing the field dressing. (I have no idea how to field dress anything, so it could be a learning experience).
***************************
LOL!
I bet getting Todd drunk is the easiest. He’s either a beer or a bourbon guy—sit him down to have a “talk” with “Jack”!
Bribing or black-mailing her OB/GYN or his/her staff might work. Got that air of intrigue, too!
I’m not sure you want to see “field-dressing”. It means pulling out all the guts so they don’t taint the meat. This is one of the many hundreds of reasons I’m not a hunter, and certainly not a “sport” hunter. Another of the hundreds is that these animals are usually covered with ticks, most of them gorged.
Of course, we’re not likely to see her skinny-dipping in the future (I think the last Pres/VP to get caught doing it was John Quincy Adams), but I’ll bet she did THAT in the past, too. After all, that one photo of her that wasn’t photo-chopped was of her in college (which one is a mystery, there were so many) wearing a t-shirt that said “I may be broke but I’m not flat-busted!” So you KNOW she wasn’t the prudish church lady she pretends to be.
OK, a little part of me is still a pig, I’ll admit it (even the most progressive of us males can’t FULLY get their libidos under control): I wouldn’t mind seeing her skinny-dipping to check for tats—as long as she doesn’t say anything…otherwise one of two reactions will happen: either rolling on the floor laughing (a la Tina Fey’s verbatim recitation) or getting violently ill.
However, Sarah Palin reminds me of why I love beautiful, intelligent, educated women: They have heard of “Brown v. Board”, “Bush v. Gore” and “Plessy v. Fergusson”, and not just “Roe v. Wade”, can actually NAME a newspaper (especially if they majored in journalism) and can string a series of coherent and related thoughts together to address a specific question.
Curiously….guess what Sarah Palin CAN’T do?

Cyrena:
I can’t imagine anyone calling MO a “ditzy Black girl”, but I can imagine her being called all kinds of other racially charged stuff, like “Obama-Mama”. But I know you get the point.
However, I will say here that I’m betting, even with odds, that Sarah Palin has a tattoo in an intimate location that they are making DAMN sure is never revealed by her clothing. And it’s double or nothing that said tat(s) say something that would KILL her career!
She’s just that type, loud religious fervor notwithstanding.

OK Inherit. I stand (or sit) appropriately chastised for calling Palin ‘just another’ ditzy white girl. To be honest, at this point, I probably wouldn’t have reacted as you suggest, if someone had called Michelle O a ditzy black one, (they’ve called her similar or worse) just because it’s clearly obvious that Michelle is NOT ditzy, and displays the epitome of class. And, in my opinion, so did Benazir Bhutto. So that’s kind of what I was thinking in the context of my comment about Zardari. It was a condemnation of him, rather than a condemnation of ditzy white girls in general. I doubt there are many ditzy white girls or women in Pakistan, although there’s no doubt that I’m surrounded by them here. My campus has even MORE ‘trust fund babies’ this new academic term than it’s ever had before. (and foreign students from everywhere EXCEPT the Arab Middle East, since Cheney won’t let them in) So, maybe that’s why it was on my mind. Seems like only the ultra rich and foreigners can afford to educate their children in the so-called public school system in America these days.
I’m pretty pissed about that.
beerdoctor, you’re right. I know everybody gets lonely. He could do a whole lot better than no class, no brains, Palin though. I mean, he could order a doll through a catalog or something, and have world wide UPS deliver it.

I know many professionals, doctors and engineers from Pakistan. The guys like Zardari ruin the image of an average educated Pakistani.
There are many things that a decent Pakistani has to face these days because of his/her fellow countrymen that have little morals.
Great thing is that we as Americans do not label individuals on the basis of their nationality. Each individual is unique.
Zardari has been selected as a Parliamentarian from an area where education rate is practically 0%. He depicts the same “Wadera”(see below) behaviour abroad and is a disgrace to Pakistanis abroad.
Glossary:
Report thisWadera: Someone who has a lots of land in the most poor areas of Pakistan and treats the whole area as his slaves. He deprives them of education, healthcare and human rights fearing that he will no longer be a King in the area.

Hey! Cyrena!
If someone described Michelle Obama in similar terms to “Palin is just another ditzy white girl with NO class” you’d be all over them like stink on a skunk, justifiably so! (Yeah, I know MO is Black…duh…)
Palin IS ditzy, and doesn’t have any class, but she’s a grown woman, not a girl, and her being white is a simple fact, not a pejorative as you made it.
There’s lots to attack Palin for:
Being a lousy mother who couldn’t figure out how to connect with and educate her daughter so as to not get pregnant by a trailer-trash thug.
Showing Katie Couric that she can’t put two coherent thoughts together under pressure without a script-writer (but she can put ten garbled un-connected thoughts together in a stream-of-consciousness that would have a ‘60’s hippie envious!)
Showing Couric she only knows one Supreme Court case—Roe V. Wade…not even Brown vs Board, Bush vs Gore (2000), Plessy/Fergusson, Marbury/Madison, Dred Scott….
My wife is white, a girl (as in boy/girl), occasionally ditzy (rarely) but she’s never a “ditzy white girl”. And, of course, she’s never low-class.
To be fair, I think most posters here are far more qualified to be VP than Sarah Palin, including Outraged and Rus123 (or whatever his numbers are).

I agree completely with the comparison, even though you can’t really compare the two with any seriousness. It’s like comparing Barbie with Maya Angelou. That said, it’s rather sad that a handshake, overly vigorous it might have been, can cause all this Fatwa nonsense.

Actually, the worst thing about Zardari’s ‘off hand’ compliment was that Sarah Palin doesn’t even begin to measure up in the ‘gorgeous’ department to his own recently deceased wife, Benazir Bhutto, and she was 10 years older.
In fact, Benazir was about a jillion times smarter, and outclassed Sarah Palin by light years. What the hell is wrong with this guy anyway?
Palin is just another ditzy white girl with NO class.
