This appears to have been a somewhat inaccurate statement. Sarah Palin has referred to herself as a “PTA mom” for so long that I just assumed it was true. Having been active in PTA since 1996, I assumed that she was an officer before that. Even McCain, when announcing her as his running mate, referred to her executive experience in PTA. But the Alaska State PTA office says it has no record of Sarah Palin ever having been a PTA board member; they do record that she paid dues.”

Geez, no way, even that’s a lie? I did read the timetable didn’t work out but didn't bother to debunk it, who would lie about being a PTA mom?? That’s like lying about volunteering at a VA hospital or something.

1. Awww, c'mon!

[Middle finga]

[O.M.B.inOhio]

5. Pinocchio Palin! Niiiiice.

And calling the pair McPalinocchio.

3. Here is what PolitiFact has to say about it

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/696/

We agree PTA can be hard, important and often thankless work. And principals often credit parental involvement in PTA as crucial to the success of schools. But since it does not appear that Palin served as an officer in PTA (though we acknowledge it’s possible she did and folks just won’t say) we think it’s wrong to count that as executive experience. Without any evidence to support McCain’s statement, we rate this one False.

4. She didn't necessarily lie about the PTA, but John McCain got it wrong...

...in saying that being a member (not even a board member) of the PTA is executive experience.

[radfringe]

6. let's see

she's lied about the bridge from nowhere stand
she's lied about her record as mayor
she's lied about selling the jet on ebay
she tried to hide her teenage daughter's pregnancy
she did hide her own pregnancy for 7 months
she's hiding over 1,100 emails

now we find out that she's lied about the PTA

that brings up 2 big question: What else is she lying about and what else is she hiding?

[glinda]

8. I know!

That she is an alien!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That she wants Armageddon????She lies about her religious beliefs!

[ColbertWatcher]

31. Don'r forget people who believe she's qualified are lying to themselves. n/t

[barbtries]

7. she lies when she doesn't even have to

i find that unnerving as well as disgusting.

[underseasurveyor]

17. They call that a compulsive liar

Yup, just the kind of person we need as second chair ruining... oops er uh I mean running this country.

[Kitty Herder]

10. Does this woman ever speak the truth?

She's beginning to sound like a compulsive liar, lying about things when she has no reason for lying.

[bvar22]

11. I've attended several City Council meetings.

I'm going to list that on my resume as "Executive Experience".

Thanks, Sarah!

[nc4bo]

[imax2268]

27. I had to make this one...

[mopinko]

29. is that a girl scout uniform, or what?

or is this her posing as c-i-c of alaska?

[CitizenPatriot]

15. the chef!

McSame repeated that one "She FIRED the chef". OOOPs. No she didn't, gramps.

[progressoid]

18. Oh c'mon. Have you ever baked cookies for a bake sale?

You have to take that tube out of the fridge and cut the dough into equal sized pieces. Put them on a tray. Bake them. Allow to cool for a couple minutes. Remove from the tray. Repeat.

It's as hard as being the Vice-President!

[FlyingSquirrel]

21. I paid PTA dues the last 3 years... never went to a single meeting.

Guess I have more executive experience than I thought!

[Agent William]

22. WOW. K&R

This would be a nice little piece for CNN to cover.

Thanks for the post, and hope it's true!

[sandnsea]

23. She took on the PTA special interests

Remember? She joined the PTA in order to fight with them. She's a pitbull, remember?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. Well, at least she was a hockey mom - or is that a lie, too?

Are we going to find out that she only drove the kids a couple of times and then let other parents do the honors? Has anyone actually seen photos of her in attendance at a kids' hockey game?

[orleans]

25. well, you can be a member of the pta without being on the board

you pay ten bucks (from what i remember) and you get a little card that says hey! i'm a member of the pta.

you can still go to the pta meetings even if you aren't a member (i would think)

i don't recall palin saying she was a board member of the pta

(and you know i would rather kill myself than defend that bitch--but...to claim you are active in the pta doesn't mean you have to be on the board

[Goldfish]

26. True, but.......

it shouldn't qualify you as having executive experience as McMumps claims.

[orleans]

28. absolutely right--it should not qualify anyone for "executive experience" n/t

[stlsaxman]

30. Guess she meant to say "PLA"- Jon Lovitz' Pathological Liars Anonymous.

"Yeeaaahhh- THAT'S the ticket!"

[kayell]

32. She's had LOTS of experience. With 5 kids and a husband.

Just IMAGINE how much work that is. She's totally prepared to take on the world.

:sarcasm:

Added: Actually, this and the authoritarian type of parenting her religion favors could explain a lot about her approach to foreign affairs. If they get out of line, just whump 'em.
