“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

[Ghost in the Machine]

“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.

“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.

[seemslikeadream]

19. It's 110 now THANKS

[HughMoran]

25. I'd like to see this one meet up with that one

This is indicative of what this kind of redneck thinks - this needs to be known as it could easily influence just those few % of independent voters we need this fall.

[seemslikeadream]

3. Holy Shit!!

[tekisui]

4. No wonder they won't let her speak her mind. Only read the speeches.

[ccharles000]

5. OMG

[ddeclue]

7. Video or fish story??? n/t

[texastoast]

40. Well, would you want your last name known to Palin?

Read this.

[Taverner]

8. We need to get this to KO

He will blow it wide open

Any word on how?

[RobertSeattle]

12. I think BO would need more than "Luculle"...

[Taverner]

16. BO?

:wtf:

[cherokeeprogressive]

28. Barack Obama

B.O.

[Taverner]

29. I am saying get this to Keith Olbermann

Journalists need to go after this asshole

[Enrique]

55. [e-mail]

but he won't use it, because Keith Olbermann is a real journalist, with journalistic standards.

[bluestateguy]

9. This could be 100% true

but if there is not a tape, she will just deny it, and our lazy media will let it drop, and that will be the end of it.

[Retrograde]

14. unfortunately, yes

without hard evidence, it becomes "she said/she said".

Not that she was likely to get much of the Black vote anyway. Or the Sane Human Being vote (the two overlap, you know :) )

[HughMoran]

21. At least have her make the claim in national TV

Perhaps Olbermann could get her to make the claim with a blurred out face on video.

[Raksha]

42. Let her deny it...in fact, MAKE her deny it public!

Let her get on her high horse, reeking of injured dignity, and tell the world it's one more smear on the part of her vicious loony left opponents.

Even if it can't be verified, a few people at least will realize that a remark like that is in totally in character for Sarah Palin.

Oh yeah, and MAKE SURE Hillary hears about it! It will make her hate Caribou Barbie even more than she does already, and she'll campaign even harder for Obama.

[Tulum_Moon]

56. LIKE IT DID NOT HAPPEN!

WTF are you sayiying! I belive!

[lpbk2713]

10. I believe it.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. K&R.

38. So do I. It sounds EXACTLY like the vile creature I watched. Exactly.

There's no question in my mind that creature would utter such vile and hateful obscenities.

[arthritisR_US]

43. an oilman friend who was up in Anchorage described the ticket as

the "misogynist and the bigot". So I'm not surprised by this little revelation.

[Warpy]

13. Small town gossips are BRUTAL

I know because I lived in a small town and figured out how to use the gossips to an advantage...don't ask, please.

Bullies like Palin never did.

This is going to be loads of fun, folks.

[seemslikeadream]

15. “Arctic Arabs” !!!!!

[aquart]

48. Palin - Gunning for you and yours.

Dick Cheney's soulmate.

[Catherine Vincent]

17. This isn't going anywhere.

There is no proof.

[seemslikeadream]

22. Was there proof about Kerry?

[Taverner]

30. Exactly We need to Repeat this over and over

Until everyone is sick of hearing it

We need to get this to Keith Olbermann

We need to do our own iReporting

We need to get this ON THE FUCKING RECORD

[lady lib]

[liberal N proud]

23. She is full of hate - the perfect Republican

I imagine if she had a penis she would be just as nasty toward women. Oh wait she did call Hillary the "B" word.

[Butch350]

24. What's all the fuss about ?...

She is just a true re-pug-bli-can. What did you guys expect her to be like?!

[Bluebear]

26. "So how do we beat the bitch?" - McCain laughed at that little gem too

[tekisui]

32. And, Palin laughed at the bitch is a cancer or something similar to that

on the radio show.

[PM Martin]

27. If true, it is bad for McCain/Palin.

[Joanne98]

31. This part.. Her 'reformer' image came from trying to get out of a job she didn't like. LOL

En route to the governor’s igloo, Palin managed to land what Anne Kilkenny says is the plumb political appointment in the state: Chair of Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (OGCC), a $122,400 per year patronage slot with no real authority to do anything other than hold meetings. She took the job despite having no background in energy issues and, as it turned out, not liking the work.

“She hated the job,” an OGCC staff member who is not authorized to speak with the news media told me. “She hated the hours and she hated what little work there was to do. But she couldn’t figure out a way to get out of the thing without offending Gov. Murkowski” and the state Republican Party regulars, some of whom were pissed off they didn’t get appointed.

But ever the opportunist, Palin quickly concocted a way. First, she waged a campaign with the local news media claiming that the position was overpaid and should be abolished – despite the fact that she lobbied Murkowski hard to get it. Then, mounting what she saw as a white horse, Palin raised a cloud of dust by resigning from the OGCC and riding away with an undeserved reputation as a “reformer.”

[sandyj999]

33. What a Class Act she is. Good job McCain. n/t

[FatDave]

34. Probably true, but not provable.

A lot more people will need to come forward, and I doubt they will.

[EFerrari]

35. In a place that small, the waitress will not remain anonymous. n/t

[Disturbed]

36. I hope that she doesn't get fired.

We know how vindictive Pit Bull Palin is.

[EFerrari]

37. Agreed. n/t

[arthritisR_US]

44. I worry for the waitress. n/t

[Taverner]

39. We have to get her to the news media

They would eat this up

[Breeze54]

41. This OP title is extremely offensive to our African American members.

:(

[Flying Dream Blues]

45. Kicking and emaiing the link far and wide...suggest we all do the same! nt

[Sewsojm]

46. She gets more Repulsive by the hour, Fucking Racist Bitch!!

[arthritisR_US]

47. Jeff Farias (sp?) just read this story on the radio (NovaM). n/t

[Ghost in the Machine]

49. Wow! Thanks for all the recs!

[ToddRodd]

51. She's a REPUBLICAN.... How could you even act surprised??

[calimary]

52. Shit - I know these guys!

They put out the LA Progressive. I write for 'em. VERY nice people and deeply committed to liberal/progressive causes. I don't know the author of this particular article, but I know Dick and Sharon, and they have integrity. They don't publish schlock.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

53. Someone googled the writer and his resume is Impressive. Link
