Constitutional scholar Sarah Palin explains complicated Constitutional law words to you

"Neverending punchline and holder of the Bump-it Industries Constitutional Law Chair at Mat-Su GED’s-r-Us University takes time out from palling around with Canadian terrorists to explain to America that that there Obammer fella is cruisin’ for an impeachable bruisin’ if he doesn’t pay America’s bills the way the Founding Fathers and Jesus would want him to.

"Apparently the president thinks he can furlough reality when talking about the debt limit. To suggest that raising the debt limit doesn’t incur more debt is laughably absurd. The very reason why you raise the debt limit is so that you can incur more debt. Otherwise what’s the point?"

My favorite comment:

"Social Security, which, by the way, is funded by the Social Security Trust Fund"

So, so true, Caribou Barbie, but the only asset in the Trust Fund is $2,720,000,000,000.00 in Treasury Notes, and if the pediculous fustalugs in the House let the default happen, the value of those T-bills will drop like a bald eagle shot from your helicopter over downtown Wasilla."

I have apparently been banned from making snarky comments on her Facebook page, either that or they locked it down, but I did manage to find some good snark there anyway. What an airhead. Good timing for her to have a high profile, though, thus reminding us that she helped start this nonsense.

It is raising the amount borrowed to pay for already incurred debt.

Does she think she is clever with "furlough reality?" Talk about the pot and the kettle!
