Hmm: “RALEIGH, N.C. — The U.S. Army plans to prevent media from covering Sarah Palin’s appearance at Fort Bragg, fearing the event will turn into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama, officials said Thursday.” This will have two effects: it (a) won’t prevent the media from covering Sarah Palin’s appearance at Fort Bragg and (b) won’t prevent the event from turning into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama. But there aren’t really any good options here for Army officials, because you know that Sarah Palin! She always goes rogue, always. She’s a “fresh breath of air,” as they say. [AP]
Ha Ha, The Army Thinks It Can Stop Sarah Palin From Giving An Inappropriate Speech

This will end badly…
Why is she even being allowed to appear at Fort Bragg? Is this at a PX or is there a Borders on base? Can Glenn Beck do a remote broadcast from there as well?
Make sure the Army psychiatrists are nearby to help out.
WHY is this woman “appearing” on an Army base? Aren’t they busy having a war?
The good news is whether the media is thwarted in covering her appearance, Fox News will have video clips of the event.
So now we’re spending taxpayer dollars to subsidize this unemployed lady’s book tour?
Can any of us have “an appearance” at a military installation?
They haul away people from Ft. Benning who try to have “an appearance” at the School of the Americas.
[re=462998]Humpback[/re]: Uh – nevermind.
Well, there ARE ways other than a policy memo that the ARMY could employ to prevent a), b) and c) prolongation of our long national nightmare. *cough, blowy uppy, cough*
Maybe the Army is assessing if she and her followers be deployed in Afghanistan as the new terror weapon:
Palin: “This is the heart of development in your country, and I would like to see for this heart of development for you all to just see a revitalization of your economy, and to be able to see really some remarkable things happen in this part of our land, and I anticipate that good things are going to happen here.”
Taliban: Henngh?
Fort Bragg? Really?
How can someone who eats nothing but raw meat be so goddamn irony deficient?
[re=462998]Humpback[/re]: Yup, brilliant time to promote ‘Going Rogue’ at a military institution. Pure genius.
I’m sure there are plenty of ways the Army could discourage media coverage of a Sarah Palin event. Flamethrowers, say.
[re=463007]Click[/re]: Hey, I’m not sure what I meant. Just trying to be topical.
“Get me some good low-angle stuff. Don’t make it too obvious, but I want to see fur and early morning dew.”
[re=462998]Humpback[/re]: [re=463007]Click[/re]: Here’s a real quote from former AG Mike Muccus-y:
Q: Congressman Jim Moran of Virginia says anybody that questions KSM coming to New York City for a civilian trial — that they’re un-American. What is your reaction to that?
MUKASEY: I think he’s lost touch with reality. He ought to get professional help, perhaps from Maj. Nidal.
[re=463009]ShiningMathPath[/re]: While the Taliban’s initial response would probably be as you describe, I’m sure they’d quickly get to what they do so well when it comes to uppity women.

I have this funny old fashion notion that giving a speech on a military installation in time of war that is critical of out Commander In Chief is kind of like bad for the morale of our troops. Maybe even giving aid and comfort to the enemy and possibly bordering on treason. But I’m just an old fart and not a lawyer or in government or anything. What do I know?
(OMG Will she just crawl into a snow cave and stay there?)
[re=463001]Gopherit[/re]: You betcha…of Marilyn Monroe at a USO show in Korea circa 1955…another FOX “news” FAIL!
[re=463021]Extemporanus[/re]: Oh, he’s a real cutie, isn’t he? Who did he work for again?
Just shoot her.
I like the WAPO quote: “She spoke briefly to supporters outside an event in Michigan on Wednesday, saying it was great to be there and not mentioning Obama.”
It’s great to be anywhere and not mentioning Sarah Palin.
[re=463021]Extemporanus[/re]: Mukasey needs to be renditioned and tortured for a bit. Like two or three years should do it.
[re=463021]Extemporanus[/re]: The second “c” in his last name is silent, by the way.
[re=463029]user-of-owls[/re]: Well, since Hopey did not have these clowns tried for their nonsense, they are going to keep pushing.
I simply can’t believe she left her children to promote her book for weeks on end. What kind of mother is she??
[re=463023]user-of-owls[/re]: yeah, damn reality intruding
[re=463040]JesusButter[/re]:
Details details details. Stop using facts to pick on the smurtest whyzest strungest fame whore in US Americuh histrey, you h8tr.
[re=463040]JesusButter[/re]: She does bring Trig, takes him to the speaker’s stand, and then hands him off to an aide. Lest we forget.
Does this have any relationship to the fact that Gallagher was born at Ft. Bragg? Is there some sort of demented comedian PsyOps thing going on there that we should know about?
[re=463026]betterDeadThanRed[/re]: Didn’t you get the memo? Giving a speech on a military installation in a time of war t hat is critical of out Commander In Chief is in bad form only if you’re a Democrat. Republicans could burn an effigy of the President at military base overseas and Glenn Beck would break into tears of joy.
Has she given her position on the Franken Ammendment?… banning contractors who require waivers for rape. She could field test her opinion while she’s there.
Careful. Don’t make the Ghost of Reagan angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
An Army of cunts.
According to Sarah’s impeccable logic, this is an example of the Army hating the troops. Dontcha know?
She hates Obama because he’s made of brown meat.
I’m really looking forward to a photo of her audience with the caption:
“The Men Who Stare at Dolts”
[re=463046]chascates[/re]: Maybe Palin can get Representative Shadegg to abduct an infant so they could alternate between speaking through babies about how awful Obama is.
[re=463054]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Oh wait. Damn misreading. So the Army wants to ban the media from turning this into an opportunity for political grandstanding? What? WHAT?
[re=463021]Extemporanus[/re]
[me being speechless......]
[re=463052]comicbookguy[/re]: No big thing. Just wait five seconds and he’ll forget he was angry and shamble off in search of Mommy.
[re=463059]user-of-owls[/re]: Awesome.
This, after all she’s done for the troops?
Sarah Palin: Ezekiel 23:20
Maybe it’s just me but every time I see that Reagan/Palin pic, he looks like he’s saying “Hey Sweetheart, I’m empty over here!”
She’s a “waft of ripe flauts”…
fixed.
Sarah and the soldiers,
sittin’ in a tree,
can we F-R-A-G?
At every possible opportunity, someone needs to shout: “Hey, Sarah. How’s that grandbaby?”
Just thinking that kids shouldn’t be deprived of love from Granny.
Is this going to be anything like the USO scene from “Apocalypse Now”?
[re=463056]El Pinche[/re]: I call bullshit. Everybody knows Kenyans are soy-based.
I’m an unemployed former government worker. Where’s my promotional event, damn it?
Wow – I had no idea the USO was still doing shows like this.
Will Bob Hope be there? Will Palin sign autographs and show off her legs?
What other Playboy centerfold will be there?
[re=463108]One Yield Regular[/re]: Theatrical release or director’s cut?
Ugh, I’m obsessing now. What will little Tarp or Trunk call his grandmother? Meemaw? Granny? Mamaw? America needs to be constantly reminded that absinthe-only sex education is ineffective.
I hope she does some fancy pageant walking while she’s there. Soldiers just love them some fancy pageant walking.
Is she going to tell that story about how she buzzed two Russian fighter pilots from her house? Iceman said she was being a hot-dog, but she was Maverick and she did things her way. Until one sad day when John McCain died trying to eject himself from her tail-spin of a campaign.
[re=463134]comicbookguy[/re]: Well done, sir!
Any chance of IED’s along the road for America’s Dingbat?
Send in the Dick Armey!
[re=463134]comicbookguy[/re]: [re=463148]chascates[/re]: Top Gun is a gay fucking movie, OK??
[re=463167]Suds McKenzie[/re]: We’re gonna need to send in more clowns than that.
SURGE! HONK-HONK!
In all fairness, the Army saw what her presence did to theOprah Winfrey show and they felt threatened.
Fort Bragg spokesman Col. Billy Buckner said members of the media will not be allowed to interview the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and will be barred from talking to her supporters on post.
Buckner said the setup will allow reporters their right to access while preventing the event from turning political.
1) Sarah spends far too much time giving interviews to the media so this is a welcome change.
2) Why did they use the plural “supporters”?
3) They would need a time machine to prevent this from turning political.
In every military installation I’ve been in, Fox was blaring from all the TVs in the common rooms. This turn of events, along with the Ft. Hood tragedy, will not benefit the forces of good and light in this world.
[re=463012]user-of-owls[/re]: “You army guys know what I mean, sometimes, you just want to jump up on a table and say fuck it, I’m going rogue. Ya know? Just be a rogue, a lone wolf. Just go fucking psycho. That’s what the army and america are about. Thanks everybody. Now I’ll be signing books.”
Sarah- F.U. in your clammy tartar sauce hole.
But only Sarah can prevent a government takeover of the Army!!1!!111!!!
I never realized until this evening how much fresh air smells like queef.
Wait’ll she gets some wrinkles like that skank hoe Ann Coulter. Then everyone’ll forget about her.
Sarah Palin Prejeen Cruise: “Larry, you’re disrespecting the troops. Larry, you’re being inappropriate. Matt, Matt, Matt — you’re being glib. Did you know that psychology is a psuedo-science? A psuedo-science that Major Nidal shouldn’t have been dealing with? Wait. Where the fuck am I? Who the fuck am I? Eeeek! Vipers!”
Racist friends send you pictures of Obama with a bone in his nose.
Friends who BELIEVE in content control the way the NRA believes in the Second Amendment, ah, they send you a short but clever Greasemonkey script that hacks and slashes Wonkette until VP-FAIL-XGILF stories fail to appear, and off-topic references to She Who Belongs on Local Television are altered to really rude words or “AAAARGH!!”
I’m going to change “J-New’s RealDoll” to “Day-Old Suck Slut,” because it’s more offensive while being less insulting (love sinner, hate sin, yada yada), and then I’m gonna slot that ware in my stimsim deck and burn me some Chrome, baby! Free at last!
I think Palin should tour some of the nicer bases like Guantanamo, Hawaii, and Okinawa. Why slum it in the USA, I says.
Why, why, why is she going to be on a military facility when she is so disrespectful of our nation’s commander in chief? Someone needs to be fired for allowing this to happen. In my opinon, of course.
[re=463092]Otto Reimer[/re]: I MUST commend you, and include the actual, real, not fake Bible verse:
Ezekiel 23:20 (New International Version)
20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
Let’s get those t-shirts printed pronto!
[re=463097]Cranky Little Camperette[/re]: Have to agree, Ghost Gipper looks ready for a refill. Sad that Bailin’ Pailin seems utterly oblivious to his plight as she claps along to “If You’re Happy and You Know It”.
OMG, Obama has seized control of the military!
[re=462998]Humpback[/re]: Weren’t the army psychiatrists responsible for LSD testing? This would be an ideal time for some follow-up experiments
