Palin the "Post Turtle"

Apparently the following has been circulating via email and I found it to be a very profound commentary on the republican ticket. -

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.

The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.’

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.

The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle.’

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ‘You know she didn’t get up there by herself, she doesn’t belong up there, she doesn’t know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.

I know that there are still those out there who admire Senator McCain and will consider voting for him regardless of the fact that he promises more of what Bush gave us. In 2000 I actually would have considered voting republican had he won the nomination, but it is not 2000 anymore, he does not have the principles that he had back then and he is the dumb ass that picked someone completely unqualified for national office to be his running mate. Please do not reward this behavior with your vote!!
