Does Sarah Palin really think there are 'snow machines' in Iraq?
No, of course she doesn't.
But, although she's got a running feud going with one late-night comedian, the Alaska Republican governor did make a brief surprise appearance last night on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."
The alleged conservative late-night host is broadcasting all week from Iraq with nothing but enthusiastic U.S. troops in the audience for the bespectacled comedian in his new camo business suit. Colbert talks with the generals and soldiers.
But last night right at the program's beginning (see video below), Gov. Palin makes an unannounced brief taped tribute all the way from Anchorage to Baghdad to all the American soldiers serving there, including her 19-year-old son Track, who's been on duty there since a few days after John McCain selected Palin as his GOP VP running mate.
Palin says, jokingly, that everyone will be able to pick out her son over there in the desert. He'll be the one on the snow machine.
Meanwhile, Colbert interviews yet another optimistic general. Also in the video below.
BTW, Palin was scheduled to be on "Today" show this morning. Wonder whether NBC will ask her about the bad joke from CBS.

dyam that woman is hot, there is something about her face that just won't quit...maybe it's her insanity, that infectious smile or the exactness of her features. She's not hot hot I wanna jump in bed with her but she's hot in the way that most people enjoy looking at her. What the heck is up with that? Is she from another planet, perhaps? Has some sort of attraction mechanism that points her towards the most highest office on the planet? Is she a cyborg sent back from the future?
Thanks for the great headline, made me laugh out loud.

Sarah Plain is more intelligent, courageous and experienced than Barrack Obama!

Of course Sarah thinks there is snow in Iraq. She has never been out of Alaska, has no notion of geography, and simply imagines that everywhere in the world is the same as Wassila, where mothers teach abstinence and unmarrried teens do not use condoms.

"Of course Sarah thinks there is snow in Iraq"
If it is the case she is right to think so, yes they are mountains and snow in Irak ...
