Take the Quiz - can you identify these 2 states?

[LynneSin]

If you can identify these 2 states then you are NOT Sarah Palin nor do you work for the people who handle her robocalls. Therefore you may still post here at DU!

Palin robocalls Kansas in support of Texas tea partier

In her time championing all things Republican, Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R) has traveled all over the country, popping up in the most surprising places. She’s even been spotted in Topeka, Kansas recently, bending ears in the state via a pre-recorded telephone message, asking for their support in… a Texas Senate race.

That’s according to Topeka Capital-Journal reporter Tim Carpenter, who actually received one of Palin’s recent calls for Texan Ted Cruz (R). Cruz is one of the leading candidates to replace Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchision (R-TX), who’s retiring in November.

“Hello, Texas!” Palin announces in a robocall heard in Kansas this week. “I’m Sarah Palin.”

1. I had a girlfriend from Ft. Scott years ago...

fun times...

[maddezmom]

2. LOL!

[Waltons_Mtn]

3. Wichita,KS area code 316. Corpus Christi,TX area code 361.

I hope it cost a lot of money.

[demtenjeep]

43. but Topeka is not 316 and most of SE Kansas is 620

so I would be willing to bet it isn't just a computer glitch

[Waltons_Mtn]

45. I saw nothing in the article that said he received the call in Topeka.

We are assuming that if he writes for a Topeka paper he lives in the same city. A reasonable assumption yes, but if he lives say an little to the East of Topeka (maybe 45 minutes) and is in the 913 area code there could have been a error while entering 903 for Tyler, TX or 713 for here in Houston. Just saying it is more likely to be a typo than someone not knowing the difference between Kansas and Texas. Still, I hope it cost them a lot of money.

[KansDem]

4. Man! I didn't know there was a liberal in Kansas!

[Octafish]

24. I was in Manhattan last year.

Saw a lot of Tigers driving home mad as heck, too.

[Ship of Fools]

27. Hi, KansDem!

No, you're not alone out here in la-la land.

[demtenjeep]

41. blue state of mind in red state hell

ugg

[eaglesfanintn]

33. My wife

Is from Liberal...sadly, she doesn't lean to the left, but I'm working on it.

[Ship of Fools]

44. Hang in there & give her time!!!

I worked diligently on my husband from Weir, KS. Yep, Weir, KS.
Nine years later, he now says he's never felt more hoodwinked about anything in his
life when it comes down to the Evangelical/Conservative/Rightwing BS Machine.
A transformation so lovely to behold!

After the absolute horror of the execution of Mr. Troy Davis, he's now anti-death penalty.

A gun owner himself, he thinks SYG is the most horrible pile of
crap ever conceived. Citizens' United? An abomination, I tell ya!
"You've turned me into a god-damned librul!" he once shrieked at
me.

My husband, my success story, dammit!

[Permanut]

5. But you can see Texas from Kansas, right?

[ProfessionalLeftist]

6. +1 n/t

[RC]

9. Possible.

The Western 1/3 of Kansas southern border is only 35 miles from Texas.

[demtenjeep]

42. haha...no, Oklahoma is inbetween and we are FLAT

hehe

[ProdigalJunkMail]

7. couldn't have been a typo...

those NEVER happen 316 or 361/913 or 915

sP

[LynneSin]

17. RoboCall business is not cheap for those using it

I would think the least they could do is CONFIRM that the numbers in there are correct. 1 minute spot check could have saved alot of agony and money.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

21. hell yeah...

but i still would chalk it up to a mistake rather than pure incompetence...but i have been wrong before and since i cannot see alaska and all that...

sP

[LynneSin]

22. I've made mistakes with making ONE phone call

If you know you're making thousands of phone calls someone should confirm the fricking area code first.

[TheManInTheMac]

8. How come Pittsburg is where Philadelphia is supposed to be?

[LynneSin]

10. Sarah - is that you?

[hfojvt]

38. In Kansas it is Pittsburg

in Pennsylvania it is PittsburgH.

no wonder the robots got confused.

[lonestarnot]

11. ROFLMAO!

[ananda]

12. How did Minneapolis get in KS?

And how did Athens and Paris get in Texas?

; - ))

[LynneSin]

13. We're still wondering how Liberal got into Kansas

[dems_rightnow]

37. The Minneapolis on the map........

is shown far east of Salina. Interesting in that it's west of Salina.

[hfojvt]

39. my first thought

was that somebody confused "The Little Apple" - Manhattan, Ks
with "The Mini-apple" - Minneapolis, Mn

well, at least they got two apples instead of comparing apples to oranges

but I guess some mapmaker put the dot on the wrong side of the name.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

40. In Texas we also have Carthage and Palestine.

And White Settlement

[Arkansas Granny]

14. Oh, come on. Give her a break. She can't see either one of those states from Alaska.

[Liberal Veteran]

19. Besides...

"I personally believe the U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh...people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and...I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., err, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our...'

[Liberal Veteran]

15. Oooo. I know! California and Rhode Island!

Right?

[LynneSin]

25. You want a job running Sarah Palin's RoboCall company?

I'm Series!!!!

[Liberal Veteran]

31. That would be good up until I shoved an icepick into my eardrum.

Because her voice is the vocal equivalent of nails on a chalkboard while chewing aluminum foil.

[GeorgeWW3]

16. If I drive to the Texas and Oklahoma border in the panhandle

and stand on an eight foot stepladder I can see Kansas without my glasses.

[lpbk2713]

18. It wasn't the half-governor's fault.

The incessant voices in her head made her do it.

[Thinkingabout]

20. If nothing else can be said, we know the Democrats made the right move in electing Obama.

She is not ready to be the mayor of her town and proved she was not capable of being governor of Alaska. I am becoming more disillusioned with the product of the repubs every day. Vote the smart party, vote Democrats.

[gratuitous]

23. It's just like you libruls to totally get it wrong

Everyone in Kansas goes by the nickname "Tex," and Governor Palin was just being formal. NOW who's looking foolish?

[Suji to Seoul]

26. Hi Texicanos, I'm the Mommy Grizzly. I'm dumb as a fucking stump and how to you like that?

Teabagger: (while jacking off): Oh, i hope you're winking when your voice talks to me!

[hifiguy]

29. OMG!!

That one was literally Best laugh of the day and definitely a DUzy candidate.

[stevenleser]

28. OMG, this is HILLARIOUS!!! THank you Lynne!

ROFL!!!!

[bluedigger]

30. I would assume she was paid for her "endorsement" by a third party.

The beef is between whoever paid for the robocalling and the robocaller that misplaced the calls. Palin got paid, regardless.

[NoPasaran]

32. I guess we know

I guess we know who will eliminated in the first round of "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?"

[treestar]

35. LOL

sister Sarah strikes again!

[Sancho]

36. Ya'll have it all wrong...you're supposed to vote in both Kansas AND Texas!!

Nothing wrong with those calls...

[Mc Mike]

46. I'm still trying to follow her '10 advice to vote for WV repug Raese in PA's Senate race.
