I don’t care who you are or what your politics are…Sarah Palin is hot.
So is Paris Hilton,but Paris isn’t as dumb
Dude really??????????????????????????
Yes really.
Paris Hilton has a higher IQ than Sarah Palin.
Palin still believes that you can exorcise demons from people to get them from being homosexual.
Palin is dangerous dumb.
Scary dumb. No one listens to Paris Hilton. Far too many people think that Palin should be president in 2012.
Only dangerous dumb one is YOU!
First of all you can’t even put Paris in the same category as Palin let a lone compare the two. Paris doesn’t have a box of rocks let a lone a brain. AJ you really should start thinking with your brain not your other “Head”.
Anyone who supports her are just as dumb!
To Haha:
Anyone who supports her *is* just as dumb.
But what would I know… I support Sarah Palin.
She also beleives in the rapture. Which is really scary if she did become president. Having her finger on the nuclear button with little vioces in her head telling her that the rapture is near is REALLY scary.
So you’re saying she’s dumb because she’s a Christian. Sorry to break it to you, friend, but nearly every president this country has had was a professed Christian. Even the liberal ones. In fact, over three-quarters of Americans can be classified as Christians. So there are two possible truths here: you’re either in the elite minority and the rest of us are “dangerous dumb”, or you’re completely deluding yourself.
Either way, if all Christians were as dangerous as you claim, this nation would have imploded a couple of centuries ago.
The fact that you even try to compare the intellect between Sarah Palin and Paris Hilton is just ridiculous! Sarah Palin is hotter and smarter w/o question.
Yep, right up until she opens her mouth.
Ahahahaahahhah! Oh yeah!
Have you heard Joe Biden talk? He seems to get lots of free passes.
Sarah Palin? Hot? You Betcha!
Stuuupid is SOOOOO Sexy !!!!
Stupid IS the new sexy.
No, stupid is Hot.
Yay! Palin for president. Get this one out of the office! He’s destroying every good thing we have.
Agreed. People Only Make Fun Of Palin Because They Know She’s A Threat To Any Campaign In 2012.
Any Republican campaign
A+
such as…?
If you look closely you can see Russia in the background. Good thing she can keep and eye on it from her office window.
haha I was just going to comment saying the same thing.
its not really russia, im just say’n.
Her legs dont match the rest of her, haha
wow, you know women, typical of them to hate any other woman who looks better than they do, makes more money than they do, and is SMARTER than they are. she was smart enough to become governor of alaska, what have you done besides hide behind your computer and talk smack? thought so. keep it up though, she still hasn’t gone away as predicted on nov. 5, 2008. thanks!
I’m not talking smack but I would have to agree with those other ladies. And I’m in the Army and I’m HOT!!! SO what have YOU done?
She didn’t go away? She quit the job that people elected to do for 4 years just halfway through it.
What is she doing now, running a Facebook page? Nice career that is.
Paris manages a vast empire and Palin manages a Facebook profile.
She also has a Twitter page… XD
Say this 5X real fast:
Twitter Twit is a Quitter!
Say it ain’t so, Joe!!!
Paris doesn’t “manage” anything except her social life, LOL.
ohhhhh malabar niice one you totally OWNED them lol. i agree. palin rules!
Apparently she’s not smart enough to realize that Alaska does not share a land border with Russia, despite having grown up there and later becoming governor.
I don’t think she ever said that Alaska shared a border with Russia, just that Russian land can be seen from parts of Alaska. And that’s absolutely true.
I’m not sure people comprehend that any governor of a state that borders or is in close proximity to a foreign country does have some responsibility for protecting that state’s borders.
I agree Malabar. Most people are just sitting behind their computer doing nothing insulting others. People are always brave BEHIND a computer.
Bush could read at a 7th grade level and he was Govenor and President! I don’t like Palin at all, but at least she isn’t embarassing.
Not embarassing? You clearly don’t know how much the rest of the world was laughing at this woman
Exactly. As an postgraduate with a 1st class degree, Oxford masters, currently working AND trying for a PhD in conservation (which I feel is quite enough thank-you Malabar) I can safely say she is one of the most vile and dangerous people in the public eye. Every person outside America that I met thought she was the most ridiculous person ever! We were ALL laughing at her. The fact that people are supporting her still shocks me.
Come on she insulted research fruit fly research on a live interview just weeks after they had made a major breakthrough on the causes of Down’s syndrome, which you would think she would be aware of having a downs baby… The complete lack of understanding of such important work by someone who it directly effects, who is in a power of position and is listened to by so many people (scarily) is just one of many examples of her complete incompetency and stupidity. She IS stupid and an insult to all decent Americans with half a brain cell.
Oxford,
Maybe you should post your resume on here while you’re at it… we’re all reeeeally impressed. Give it a rest, people are entitled to their opinions.
As *A* postgraduate.
Grammar: B-
YET!
it’s like she’s running for miss america and hottest mom at the same time.
i’d vote for ‘er >>;
The SERVICE STAR behind her is not a mobile. It is a flag family’s display that have someone serving on active duty in a war zone. Each represent one service person. Mine had 3.
thank you, i was upset that this was misrepresented glad to see someone was able to correct them. we have had a few in our family, most recent for my brother in the marines.
Yes thank you – Palin may be a nutjob but please let’s still show respect for the military.
jesus, take it easy. this website is supposed to be humorous. if you are lacking a sense of humor…..then you shouldn’t comment here. the caption wasn’t making a statement about anything other than the completely phony, staged and awkward nature of this photo. had the author referenced the mobile in the way you suggest, it wouldn’t have been funny at all. my grandfather has a purple heart from the korean war so don’t bother replying with some nonsense suggesting i don’t support the troops or whatever…..
no, what the incorrectly named “mobile” represtents to those of us who have displayed it in their homes since WW1 means so much that we have the right to correct the misrepresentation.
It is a Blue Star Banner.
It is pride, love, worry, history, honor, hope and sacrifice all rolled into one symbol.
I find this site just as humerous as the next person, and will continue to do so.
Yes. The idiot who wrote that was a mobile should be embarrassed.
Maybe they were refering to her Mobile phone?
yeah that’s what i thought too… looks like she has one in her hand…
Who in her family is serving in the military right now? I mean, isn’t this a display for families with active service members?
She has at least one son that is in. You normally hang it up when you have a family member that is deployed. I keep trying to explain this to my mom, that now that I am back she can take it down…
Sarah never said she could see Russia from her front yard (or whatever it was). It was a Tina Fey quip. It’s amazing that so many people really believe that Palin actually said that!
That said… what was she thinking when she posed for this? Is it for a “Hot Governors” calendar or something? Was she Ms. July?
She would have sounded much smarter to have said she could see Russia from her front yard. Instead, she hemmed and hawed and, in usual Palin fashion, never did answer the question asked. See transcript from Couric interview below:
Another cringe-inducing performance by Sarah Palin in part II of her interview with Katie Couric.
In the segment below, Couric presses Palin to explain why Alaska’s proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience. Palin doesn’t seem to have improved her answer since she was asked the same question by Charlie Gibson.
Here’s the transcript:
COURIC: You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land– boundary that we have with– Canada. It– it’s funny that a comment like that was– kind of made to– cari– I don’t know, you know? Reporters–
COURIC: Mock?
PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yeah.
COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.
PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our– our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They’re in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia–
COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.
She’s refering to russian military invading our air space. What most of you fail to realize, russia is always messing around .
trust an air force guy stationed in alaska.
Oh, just reading her words makes my head hurt, makes me feel like I’m reading with someone else’s glasses on. SURELY the words strung together are supposed to make sense, but alas, they do not. And just what, exactly, is she doing with those Blackberries? The way she has them fanned out, and why are there two and what are they supposed to represent in the context of a photograph taken for a running magazine? See? My head hurts even more now.
They are right there, RIGHT THERE!
the photo wasn’t taken for a running magazine…
it was pulished on the cover of newsweek!
scary, huh?
She was February 29. A leap year.
She pretty much DID say that. How can someone be in politics and know absolutely nothing about politics? and foreign policy? You’d have to be retarded… at least Bush had people tell him what to say…
PALIN: And, Charlie, you’re in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to have a good relationship with them. They’re very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?
PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia.
She probably thought he was talking about Georgia the state, not the former soviet territory.
The woman just bugs me. I don’t hate her(much) just dislike her. She’s got this dictator qauility, especially on her abortion position. But each to their own where they’re politcal insight is.
That’s not a US Army mobile, dumb***…it is a Blue Star banner that denotes a family member serving their country. The next step is a Gold Star banner which denotes a family member Killed in Action.
How any person could think this woman was a qualified leader is beyond me. It really shows how well our public schools are educating people when they believe a word that truly are able to say that they believe anything that comes out of this idiot’s mouth. No wonder the Republican party is becoming the party of Trailer Parks across the country. Dumba**es.
Oh, I thought the Republicans were supposed to be the party of the rich “fat cats” who get all the tax breaks and oppress the poor. Please make up your mind. Thanks!
that’s the creepy thing about the republicanparty: it supports the rich fat-cats, but the majority of repulican voters are poor and undereducated.
the ‘fat-cats’ use religion to get the votes of stupid poor people who hear a canidate is against gay marrage (or some such thing… abortion, whatever…) and immediately and completely support them without even bothering to figure out their economic, healthcare, or educational plans, or anything else that might matter to THEM especially (them being the poor and undereducated) NOOOOPE, it’s “HE DON’T WANT THEM QWEER’S MARRY’IN AND THAS ALL I NEED TO KNOW!”
man, now i’ve really depressed myself…
and, god, do i hate you stupid, stupid people…
I don’t think I am ready to live in a world where someone who looks like one of my hot teacher fantasies ends up in the White House.
This picture is totaly fake, look at the skin tone of the legs and arms compared to her face, she’s way whiter in the face than the legs and arms. You know what the problem is with democrats? They’re all poverished mindless dumba**es who would follow a convicted fellon if the fellon held out a $50 bill in front of them. Democratic citizens are mindless losers who can’t think for themselves. Democratic politicians are twofaced snakes who can’t do anything but make everyone else’s lives miserable. I’ll admit that a lot of Republican politicians are crooks, but they have a lot better policies on how to deal with their people than Democrats do.
I thought this was supposed to be an enjoyable site . You went from criticising the Palin picture,to trying to tell us what Democrats & Republicans are. If you would be honest with yourself, you would substitute The word Republican each place you have written Democrat. Then you would be accurate. That’s why the Republican Party has no leader today, and why they were summarily rejected in the last two elections. Switch from Limbaugh & Beck for your info. and you’ll do better. As for Palin; she was your candidate !
Sorry to be an English teacher – but it’s spelled FELON
Signed – a Dumb Democrat.
Also, that’s impoverished, dumba**.
Ummm, as long as we’re picking out errors…..it’s TOTALLY, dumba**.
awkward…
uuuuuummmmmm B. you seem to be the dumba** here bud. I am a photographer, and i can tell by looking at that photo that it has not been doctored, except for maybe some color correction, the contrast was certainly enhanced, but i dont consider color correction doctoring. If you had half a brain behind your blind eyes, you would see that this photo was taken with 2 light sources one of which a bright white spot, id say about 6 feet off the ground the other light source is the natural light coming through the window. which means her face is covered in makeup and top lit and backlit which in turn would cast a shadow from behind her onto her legs which are not hit by the spotlight. DUH…. anyone who has ever used a camera in their life should be able to discern these things. Just goes to show you anyone who supports this idiot is even dumber than she is.
Not a candid photo, but a shot taken for Runner’s World magazine’s “I’m a Runner” (stories of real runners) series. There are several other photos in the article. You can also see Gov. David Patterson, Jennifer Beals, Jon Cryer, Sir James Dyson (vacuums) in the series. Obviously the photographer was trying to incorporate a little irony and humor to add interest. Some take it all way too seriously.
the “mobile” is a flag signifying the fact that her son is away at war just fyi.
but yeah, politicians should wear pants.
that’s all i’ve got to say.
So just because she is a politician she isnt allowed to run in shorts? thats rediculous. I’d like to see you run in a pair of jeans
Y’all cut down Palin when in reality there’s no way she could have done ANY WORSE than the one who’s in office now! And Mr. Obama sure don’t look near this good… Beauty is something Palin possess, inside and out, and some people are so jealous they can’t do anything but sit around and try to find something wrong. This pic is funny, and I’m sure it was meant to be that way. As of her not ‘answering’ questions..Did you not know she was told ‘not to’?? When she finally cut lose she said a lot and killed our Vice Pres in the last Debate. GO PALIN 2012 YOU GOT MY VOTE FOR SURE!!
have you SEEN the Obama pics on the beach? HAWT!
Legs are awfully shiny. Sweat? Pantyhose? YOU be the judge!
I don’t think this is an awkward picture at all! I think it was actually meant to be a credit card commercial picture, but who knows. I think she looks a little thin, but beautiful. I <3 Sarah Palin. -Sylvia from Texas
Soooo Hot
Also to all the “But she is dumb” people
I don’t want her for conversation…
She’s the perfect wife; Wonder Woman with a lobotomy.
Isn’t it an offense to lean on the american flag?
Obama says there are 57 states in the USA, now that’s dumb!
I would love to see actual proof of him ever saying that.
There’s NOTHING “awkward family” about this photo. Makes me think it was submitted just to start a political debate.
The person who says that Palin could not have done any worse than Obama? Where’s Palin’s Nobel Prize, hmmm? Or even her ability to speak in a coherent fashion?
Wait, Palin ran for president against Obama? That’s news to me!
Honestly that’s the way it was. We weren’t voting for McCain, you know.
Good call on bringing up the Nobel Peace Prize, he TOTALLY deserved it! He accomplished SOOOO much in the 11 days of being in office to merit him the nomination. You’re absolutely right. And very good to point out their differences in speaking abilities. Obama is an excellent public speaker…..when the teleprompter is working!
People wanted to discredit the McCain campaign BECAUSE of Palin. SHE WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT NOMINEE!!!! What could she have done to hurt the nation? Look at Biden. What has he done? He puts his foot in his mouth about once a month or two, but that’s it. I do think McCain would have been a train wreck however. Either way we were screwed with our options for president. That’s it I’m done. Back to laughing at the photos.
yeah people put politicians in the VP spot that they wanna shut up. i definetly agree that Obama DID NOT deserve the nobel peave prize.
I always hold my breath to see who the winners of the Nobel Peave Prize will be. I actually thought Palin should have won the Peave prize this year. She certainly was more deserving than the President of the Peave prize. I can’t think of a single person who peeved me more than Sarah Palin the past year and a half…
This is so obviously Photoshopped.
It was shot in July for the August edition of Runner’s World, and it’s now on the cover of Newsweek. Google it.
I love how she also just happens to have her phone out. Makes it seem like this picture was really spur of the moment.
I would hit it if I had the chance
Unable to explain how Old Glory magically attached itself to her elbow, Sarah Palin confounds the press with her deer-in-the-headlights routine yet again: “Can somebody help me with this new phone?” she implored of astonished reporters. “I press the buttons and the darn thing goes whack-a-doodle!”
Sarah Palin is cringeworthy without the pants. Liberal loons everywhere should hope she becomes the hope of the GOP since it will ensure failure. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t mean she is incapable of encouraging at least morning wood.
Dear God. This is now the cover of Newsweek.
AFP is psychic.
This is hot! God bless America!
I guess she just got done jogging with the flag tied around her neck like a cape.
You Sarah Palin fans remember to vote for her in 2013!
To commenter number 2:
Wow.
why would palin want to nuke the world if she assumes that she is to be saved by the rapture? nuclear holocaust isn’t supposed to happen for several years after the rapture. ignorant comments made by ignorant people
SO, let me get this straight. I’ve noticed that most of the time, the people who don’t like S.P. either can’t explain why they feel as they do OR say it’s because she is “dumb”. Of course, if you ask the latter people to add upon that thought, they will reuse whatever they heard on CNN or SNL most recently (without any of their own independent verification of the claim) OR resort to the most “effect” retort, “you’re dumb too, nya, nya”…
I make no judgement call (save that which may be implied), I merely would like to ask one simple question: How many states did President Obama say we have again?
“I make no judgement call (save that which may be implied), I merely would like to ask one simple question: How many states did President Obama say we have again?”
Just so I’m clear here, are you saying that Sara Palin is smarter than Barack Obama? Seriously?
Seriously?
Well, since I’ve never met the woman, I guess it’s difficult to point to anything BUT her professional history accompanied by some of the most head-scratching quotes of all time. Like when she said Russia was across the border from Alaska. Or when she couldn’t name a single publication during the Couric interview. Or when she blasted Obama for shifting ‘In God We Trust’ on US currency – which he never did – this was done on George Bush’s watch and later reversed. I also enjoyed her thoughts on the Department of Law (which doesn’t exist) and her take on the role of the Vice President (to overlook the Senate..???). These aren’t quotes made up by the media, folks. They’re taken straight from the horse’s mouth.
Also, Obama was quoted towards the tail-end of a massive cross-country campaign effort. He obviously slipped and said 58 when he meant 48. It’s good to see you have no trouble condemning others for reiterating baseless talking points when you, yourself, are very guilty.
btw: Sorry to break it to you folks, but she ain’t all that and a can of beans.
Aww, this is actually not a bad pic, Sarah Palin is gorgeous.
Yes she is. Too bad people like those that run awkwardfamilyphotos are out to smear her for having the temerity to speak her mind. Remember, leftists only believe in free speech when it echoes their sentiments.
And don’t forget; this website is dedicated to poking fun at everyday people. It’s a perfect metaphor for how leftist statists see the American public–i.e. stupid. This dumb website is a wonderful demonstration of the pettiness, malevolence and hypocrisy of today’s oh-so-tolerant Democrat.
I’m an Army veteran who was wounded & spent six months in Walter Reed US Army Medical Center, recovering from my wounds, plus another two years in physiotherapy, so I could walk again.
I support the US, the US military and the Republican Party.
And my dog is smarter than SP.
She is an embarrassment to America & the Republican Party.
Sarah Palin has a pretty face. She also had good handlers in the Republican party. She served 2 years only as Governor, quitting office half way through. That is her only experience. She is not qualified for the office of President.
Does anyone notice the blackberries in her hand! BTW Go Steph!! way to preach it
you guys come on this is not a political debate, hmmmmm and lets see your obama mccain or palin ur up on stage lets see if you DONT screw up…. Seriously back to laughing now.

Doesdoes no one get the significance of the blackberry in her hand!
The comments on here are hilarious! Just more sociological proof that if you post up anything political people are going to fight like cats and dogs. Seriously to the awkward picture does anyone else notice the pink moccasins?
