Sarah Palin Cites “Department of Law” in the White House

I know, I know, but c’mon:

“I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” [Palin] said.

There is no “Department of Law” at the White House.

I don’t know about that.  I think their offices are located next to the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Iditarod and around the corner from the offices of the US Department of Homeland Secession.

RELATED: My buddy Rob has a satire piece up about Palin at HuffPo that’s getting a lot of attention.  Check it out.

The Department of Law should be right next to Neiman-Marcus. That way, Palin would be sure to find it. Especially if they put Jimmy Choos in the “display window.”

That has an almost Homer Simpson-like quality to it.

Moran.

On a lighter note, Dan Froomkin got hired by HuffPo!

your department of law there

goodness, how absolutely delightfully folksie of her!

Did Sarah Palin ever actually talk about barracudas swimming upstream?  If so, that is just silly.

would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out

I just love that part.

No doubt, there’d be a whole lotta “throwing out” happening over at the Department of Books and the Department of Science, as well as a major shakeup at the Department of Foreign Places with Funny Names.

Yeah, it’s that there Department of Law that keeps throwing out all those crazy birfer lawsuits that keep getting thrown at Obama. Also.

I get the distinct impression that if she actually understood anything at all about how government works, she’d decide it wasn’t worth all the bother.

Has she been charged with anything?

This was my favorite bit:

Palin said she was surprised by the media storm that followed her announcement to leave office, saying she thought it would not have been “such a darn big deal.”

Right, because you can’t go a week without some governor throwing up his hands and saying “That’s it, I’m done here.”

And we all know that if everyone had ignored her little announcement, she’d be whining that the MSM didn’t care about RealAmericans.

Eureka!  I found a party that Sarah Palin can be the nominee for!

saying she thought it would not have been “such a darn big deal.”

Suddenly, I am flashing on future moments of profound situational unawareness we may yet be treated to:

“Gosh darn it, lots of women shoot their husbands.”

“Gosh darn it, who doesn’t own a necklace of human ears?”

“Gosh darn it, who the hell knew that ‘DEFCON 5’ was the good one and ‘DEFCON 1’ was the scary one?”

“Gosh darn it, when did it become a crime to walk into an airport with a suitcase full of plutonium and Krugerrands?”

All hail Sarah Louise Heath Palin Bus Stop Ftang Ftang Olay Biscuit Barrel!

(Very Silly Party)

“The President, as you know, gets to name the country.  I’m thinking ‘Sarah and Todd plus Three Hundred Million.’”

Steele and Boehner think Sarah Olay Biscuit Barrel should think about sitting out 2012.

She’s as dumb as a bag of hair. Really.

The only thing funnier than Robb’s post was the number of commenters weren’t sure it was satire.

Palin actually debuted the “Law Department” on Friday 7/3, but no one seemed to pick it up.  She said it and she posted it on her website.  In her 7/3 remarks the “Law Department” is the Supreme Court.  Excerpt from Palin’s 7/3 speech:

“Another accomplishment—our Law Department protected states’ rights—two huge U.S. Supreme Court reversals came down against that liberal Ninth Circuit, deciding in our state’s favor over the last two weeks.  We’re protectors of our Constitution—federalists protect states’ rights as mandated in 10th amendment.”

Paul Begala’s great post:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-begala/sarah-palin-t urns-pro_b_225633.html

Her speech was not off the cuff.  Palin wrote it herself and posted it word for word on her website just as the press conference was starting.  She read the speech into a portable, mobile teleprompter.  Greta’s show posted enough video that it included pan back shots showing the teleprompter Palin read into, with a camera on either side of the teleprompter.  Paul Begala’s take at HuffPo on her posted text is priceless, with all of its various ALL CAPS and exclamation points and odd punctuation.  Her rambling syntax was planned, and all the more frightening.

I didn’t make this post. Really.

Such a darn big deal.

Oh god, she really IS Jerry Lundegaard from Fargo—and she’s fleeing the interview, er, governorship. For pete’s sake!

I didn’t make this post. Really.

It looks like it’s just somebody else called Brad, Brad - nothing sinister.

Hey, that works for me. Plus, it was a very popular defense at Nuremberg.

“Junk food” or “My neighbor’s dog told me to do it” ring a little hollow…but the “Other Brad” thing is so damn crazy it might just work.

Quick, someone call the Department of Walker, Texas Ranger

I think Grizzly Mama’s political education will begin when she starts watching West Wing.
