Sarah Palin: Post Turtle

Sarah Palin:  Post Turtle

At the J-Walk Blog, this entry inserts Sarah Palin in the old post turtle joke.  I’ve borrowed the image from him, and thus from his source, which has a slightly different version of the joke.

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.’

For a reasoned approach to Sarah Palin, read the latest Palin post at Brave Gnu Whirled, who maintains an admirably even approach on issues I get too emotional about.
