Sarah Palin Claims Global Warming Will ‘Bring Back the Dinosaurs’

[kpete]

Sarah Palin said today that concern over global warming is overblown because returning the climate to its state millions of years ago will allow dinosaurs to make a comeback.

In an interview with Fox News, the former Alaska governor admitted that climate change will hurt some plants and animals but argued that it will also provide an opportunity for ancient, warm-weather species to thrive.

"I've been hearing all this hootin' and hollarin' from the liberals about how CO2 is going up to levels we haven't seen in 5 million years," Palin told Fox and Friends' host Gretchen Carlson. "But the truth is, life was pretty good millions of years ago.

"There were plenty of plants and animals back then, and they did just fine in the heat. And as Earth starts to warm up, all our old friends will start coming back. The polar bears might die off, but think of all the dinosaurs we're gonna get!

1. let's see if Pierce Morgan falls for this one, too

[pinboy3niner]

14. It seems that even the most obvious satire requires a disclaimer these days

[cantbeserious]

2. Palin - The New Definition Of Idiot

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. McCain is still around.

[malaise]

4. Sarah Palin is not just an ignorant, semi-literate moron

She's actually proud of her ignorance - indeed she has no idea about the level of her ignorance.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. The artice is satire.

[malaise]

23. Doesn't matter

She's still an ignorant semi-literate moron.

[doc03]

30. I totally believed she would say something that stupid. To think McCain thought

she could be vp and now McCain is about the only half sane Rethug left.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

52. That's the trademark of a teabagger.

Intelligence is elitist to them.

[RGinNJ]

5. The Daily Current is starting to be as funny as the Onion.

[htuttle]

6. Ohhh, the pain! Teh pain!!!

on edit: Oh, just noticed where it was from. Well, even if it isn't true, it's still too True.

[longship]

8. That woman is an idiot.

Oh dear... Daily Currant...

Got me again.

[warrior1]

9. goddamn she's a idiot

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Satire.

[hobbit709]

33. That doesn't alter the fact that she's an idiot.

[Cerridwen]

10. she is living proof that the parts of the brain

required for the autonomic nervous system...

can survive in a vacuum.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. The article is satire. Palin is as dumb as a box of hammers,

but she never said this.

[Cerridwen]

28. Well, I meant to reply to you and I replied to myself. LOL

As soon as the caffeine kicks in my other eye may open and I may see well enough to reply in the correct place.

Until then, please see my reply to myself that was supposed to have been a reply to you.



In keeping with the unintentional hilarity, here are some links to actual palin quotes:

http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/sarahpalin/a/palinisms.htm

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/sarah_palin.html Not all quotes here are funny. Some are fucking mind breaking.

Even when her friends quote her she comes off as an idiot. From townhall, a r/w rag: http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/08/21/let_sarah_speak_the_20_best_quotes_from_sarah_palin/page/full Warning: her picture at link.

[pinboy3niner]

37. Was replying to yourself meant to be...satirical?

I'm SO confused!

[Cerridwen]

42. Unintentionally satirical? Yep. I guess so. (edited)

Mostly I just wasn't paying attention to where I posted. I'm so not completely awake right now.

I decided it was funnier and more fun to just leave it in place and make a joke of it.



edit to add: And I just double checked to make sure I replied to you replying to me rather than replying to myself again.

[Jim Lane]

54. You write that Palin "never said this."

I would amend that to: Palin hasn't said this yet.

[Cerridwen]

21. I stand by my statement.

Whether she said what is in the article or not, she has said many things over the years that were as asinine as the satire written, and many that were more so.

[spanone]

11. she's the intellectual warrior of the right!!!!!

[Vashta Nerada]

12. The Daily Currant is a satire website.

Although it wouldn't surprise me if she actually said something like this.

[drm604]

13. The Daily Currant is satire.

[trumad]

19. yes it is...

But when Sarah says something you never know.

[drm604]

24. True enough.

Poe's law is at work here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

Without a blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of extremism or fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing.

[onehandle]

20. Less of a stretch than things she actually says. nt

[intaglio]

22. The stupid - hurts n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

25. The sad thing is...

...that this sounds like something Palin would say. This got me again...thought it was real for a moment.

[pipi_k]

26. NOOOoooooo...!!!!!!

Please...PLEASE tell me she didn't really say that.

Oh, and that she couldn't wait to see what a Triceratops looked like!

aughhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Edit...OK so I find out she didn't really say it. But she's stupid enough to...

[Cali_Democrat]

27. Don't worry KP, this is Sarah Palin we're talking about

I wouldn't be surprised if that twit actually said something like this.

[doc03]

29. For gawdsake what fucking nitwit, well she can kill

dinasaurs instead of caribou.

[CanonRay]

31. But Sarah, I thought the Earth was only 6000 years old?

What a fucking idiot. And there are still people who think she would be a good President. I wouldn't let her watch my dog.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

53. Exactly my first thought reading the OP. The half-term half-wit can't remember what she said last.

[CanonRay]

56. That's the trouble with lies, you can never remember the last version.

[bravenak]

32. I totally bought it.

I expect her to say this some day soon.

[kpete]

40. me too

I blame mr. pete
seems he pulled a fast one on me...

peace, kpete

[penultimate]

34. hahaha... It may be satire, but given some of the shit she said, it sounds plausible

[Historic NY]

35. Satire like her American history tour....

[backscatter712]

36. Poe win!

[SidDithers]

38. Poe's Law strikes again...

Thanks for posting.

Sid

[Warren Stupidity]

39. Palin makes snot look smart.

[Blue_In_AK]

41. With Sarah, it's so hard to know the difference between real and satire. nt

[treestar]

43. Satire on Palin is hard to catch

It always sounds plausible at first glance. That woman is such an idiot she almost can't be satirized.

[nadinbrzezinski]

44. Daily Currant+onion= satire

That said, hilarious read. (And not hard to believe). Go read the Christ celebrated Easter entry.

[tabbycat31]

45. If that is the case let it bring back a T-Rex

And turn the thing loose in Wasilla (specifically in the Palin house).

T-Rex would do the world a huge favor.

[sibelian]

47. So their last Palin hoot was too convincing, hm?

[Contrary1]

48. I can picture Palin astride a T-rex...

riding over to Brick's (or whatever her name is) place to pick up grandson Grub (or whatever his name is), so they could go a-huntin' some moose.

For the record, I also found the article credible at first.

[jmowreader]

49. They're already back

The Tea Bag Caucus is full of them.

[barnabas63]

50. It's true!

I've seen some hatching about 30 miles outside of town!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

51. We already have them

They're called teabaggers.
