Subject: Now you know
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.

Hey, I think this site could be a big help in exposing Palin for what she is:

It’s a bit of a coincidence that the first time I ever heard this joke it was being used in the context of George W. Bush.

I thought it sounded a little familiar… But it seems like it was made for Sarah.

Interesting. Back in June the Clinton Democrats were using this joke to refer to Sen. Obama as a post turtle.

Except as applied to Obama, it didn’t apply at all. Palin was picked from obscurity and is clearly in over her head. Fits perfectly.
