Palin vs Palin

I don't know if anyone thought to do this, but as Gov. Palin heads north to the snow and unendangered polar bear, my thoughts turn to another world traveler ... Michael Palin.



Sarah Palin: "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border."
Michael Palin: "There is barely a country in the world where you will be completely safe. "
Sarah Palin: "We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. ... We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."
Michael Palin: "I think you learn a lot about a country from its art. To me, it's part of the drama of life. It teaches you that there are places, moments and incidents in other cultures that genuinely have a life of their own. "
Sarah Palin:"All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." -- unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads
Michael Palin: "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
Sarah Palin: "I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't."
Michael Palin: "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK,I sleep all night and I work all day.I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers. I put on women's clothing, And hang around in bars."
Sarah Palin: "If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."
Michael Palin: "I mistrust total competence. I've always felt life is a series of small disasters we try to get through.”


A part of me already misses her ... but not enough for her to rear her head down here in the lower 48 any time soon. It's Friday night! Monty Python on BBC America ... Bloody Woot!
