Palin to Obama: 'Do your job, secure our border

(CNN) -- Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin joined the national battle over Arizona's controversial new immigration law Saturday, appearing with Gov. Jan Brewer in Phoenix to denounce the Obama administration's criticism of the law.

"It's time for Americans across this great country to stand up and say 'We're all Arizonans now and, in clear unity, we say Mr. President, do your job, secure our border,'" Palin said, standing beside Brewer at a Saturday afternoon press conference.

More idiocy from the once and former beauty queen contestant. If someone can ever sneak a question about maps into the mix, the result could be more entertaining than the former Ms. Teen S. Carolina’s response.

John R Johnson posted to CNN 16 May 2010 some concise and to the point commentary on the political suitability of Palin and exploring her fall back answer, “I like them all!” Well, to be honest, it doesn’t take much to be considered concise and to the point when one is discussing Ms. Palin. But Mr. Johnson’s comments are accurate and amusing. They can be found in the responses to the article linked above. They’re worth taking the time to sift throught. Mr. Johnson applies Palin’s beauty pagent standard emergency response, hauled out whenever she was asked a question she was unprepared to answer (“I like them all!” ) to the various interviews and debates which took place when she could not control the content of questions.



Having spent no time in the beauty pagent world, I’m not familiar with the emergency fallbacks that the pageant participants musts practice. Of course they must have such stock answers. All jobs and professions have them. Mine included such greats as:

“The analyzer is down for maintenance.”;

“Microbes only grow so fast.”;

“If you wanted a full coag workup you should have ordered one.”;

And

“ If the drug the pharma-Barbie wants you to use is not on our standard panel, that’s just too bad, and by the way, did she tell you about the side-effects?”

“Sorry, we stopped offering that test 20 years ago,”



I’ve been handed those stock replies by lots of other people: mechanics, appliance repair people, grocery clerks, delivery service drivers,

The part has to come from Malaysia,

The part has to be special-ordered.

That item has to come from our warehouse and we only stock it once a month.

The package wasn’t crushed when we left it on your doorstep.



Mr. Johnson did a great job of taking Palin’s panic phrase and demonstrating when and how she has used it.



Good examples, John!



I like them all!
