More Pics from Landstuhl
FAQ: If I'm in Germany, Should I Visit the Troops in Landstuhl or Hit the Gym?

A tough one. There are two schools of thought on this.

Here's one:


800px-Sarah_Palin_Germany_4.jpg

Note however the decision turns on whether there are cameras available to document your meeting the wounded troops.

Thanks to Dave @ Garfield Ridge.

More Pics: from Landstuhl, at Beldar.

I'm linking for two reasons:

1) When I posted the pic, I didn't realize I was stealing it from Beldar; and

2) Beldar notes the pictures were taken by military guys-- Palin also didn't have a press entourage with her, and yet that didn't put her off of visiting the troops.

BTW: Dave didn't steal that pic either... he got it from Wikipedia (and told me so). They apparently swiped it from Beldar.

It's actually easier, but still virtually impossible when you're hopped up on nitrous oxide and cough syrup.

4 If you're a VPILF, why not work out in front of the wounded troops? Two birds and all that...

The VPILF.com website is run by the same guy who runs www.moviespoiler.com

Cool site for spoiling movies if you are too cheap or wise enough not to pay for movies.

7 You know... this MILF/VPILF stuff was funny the first time I heard it.

And maybe the second.

But now it's just obnoxiously juvenile.

/my two cents.

8 When I saw that VPILF.com had been snagged, I thought maybe it had been snagged by the campaign -- and had a "No. Can't Have. Not Yours." captioned picture of her husband posted there.

9 But now ["VPILF" is] just obnoxiously juvenile.

Seconded.  And I say this as an avowedly obnoxious and juvenile motherfucker myself.

Yes, she's an attractive woman, but she's also married, and it's really disrespectful.  Shit, I'm having a hard enough time trying not to think improper thoughts about her oldest daughter after seeing her family pictures.

Seriously though, the VPILF site isn't even that bad. It's tame. It's all very standard talking points and rah-rah. The only thing risque about it is the URL.

Lighten up Francis. This is a historical moment. Never before in the history of this country has a Vice President given me a woodie.

We cannot allow the Ukraine to further widen the PILF gap without a serious response.

HISTORIC. Moment.

Concerning the VPILF acronym, I wouldn't be talking no trash about Todd Palin's wife.

I don't see Mr. Palin as the kind of man who would put up with that behavior.

19 Opinions vary, but most women don't mind if it's acknowledged they're attractive at any age, but especially once they're moms.

Further, "MILF" has such widespread usage now it's hardly even obscene.  It means "hot."  You guys are being silly.  If I call any woman hot or attractive, do you know what that means?  If I spelled it out?  It means I want to have sex with them (at least in the abstract realm). 

Finally, MILFs have been discriminated against in America for 300 years.  It was only in 1955 that MILFs received the right to vote.

So I'm proud to be pro-MILF.

20 That said... okay, I omitted the VPILF link and mention in the headline.

I actually agree that the joke gets old fast, and, well, five hours later, it does seem old and, uh, juvenile.

And disrespectful, though in a complimentary sort of way.

Yeah but..

The site doesn't even go there. Doesn't even go there that I saw, not even once. Never even explains it's own name.

It's a standard pro-candidate site.

It's just a URL, and a clever one, because obviously, it now has 50 billion hits because everyone just randomly typed in VPILF to see if it was taken.

And what do you want there? Seriously...It's either take it, reserve it, and do nothing...take it and make it into an innoculous pro-Palin site (which is what has been done), or let some jackass abuse it. Not even being abused.

Now the comments...well them's a different story. It's almost as dirty over there as it is over here. (I think some of our commentors popped over).

Posted by: Entropy at August 29, 2008 07:31 PM (HgAV0)

23 I don't think the vpilf site is that offensive, though I certainly think there is a line that can be crossed.  I expect that within a weeks time, we'll have heard enough crap about rape, sex, hiding pregnancies, and uses of 'cunt' that VPILF will sound like the rosary prayer.

As long as it's light-hearted humor, I think it's not worth getting upset about.  There will be actual disgusting stuff to be pissed off about, and more than any of us will want to deal with.

Sarah Palin is well aware that being an attractive woman in politics, particularly as a well known conservative, means more than having your accomplishments ridiculed by assholes.  It means that for the rest of her life she will be a target for hate.  It's a hell of a decision she had to make.

I get what you are saying, but a person doesn't go in to politics unless they have a pretty strong ego and belief that they should be telling people what to do. Nothing evil about that, but the picture you paint of a person torn between the duty they are called to do and the personal cost is a little over the top.

"a person doesn't go in to politics unless they have a pretty strong ego and belief that they should be telling people what to do. Nothing evil about that"

I'm a little naive but I think the desire for the aquistion of power is sorta evil. I want a politician who seeks the job to improve the city, county, state or country and not aquire power.

Obviously that is rare but those people do in fact exist and we should actively seek them out, fund, promote and vote for them.

Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced.
