Palin tells "The" Hampton Roads: "It's mine, baby. mine. too!!!!!!11"

[Bluebear]

Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin were greeted by throngs of red-clad fans at the Virginia Beach convention center. Palin, who introduced McCain, received more cheers than any other speaker, even more than country music legend Hank Williams Jr.

In a 10-minute speech, she talked about energy independence, among other issues, touting offshore oil drilling and mining coal. When the crowd started chanting "Drill, baby, drill." She corrected them "It's mine, baby, mine too."

Supporters didn't seem to find that she mispronounced the word "Norfolk" and ackwardly used the term "the" Hampton Roads. "It's going to come right down to the wire here and it's pretty clear that the road to victory in 2008 is going to run right through the Hampton Roads," Palin said.

Williams, wearing a Washington Redskins jersey, sang several of his classics, including "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down" and "A Country Boy Can Survive."

[awoke_in_2003]

38. "the gift skipped a generation to hank III"

No shit. Have you heard that boy sing? Sounds just like his grandfather (who would be disgusted with Jr.) Hard to believe he started out doing punk music, until someone said "hey, you sound like Hank, a venerated name in Country music, take advantage of it".

Somebody forgot to tell the She-Bush that southeast Virginia isn't big coal country.

[The Wielding Truth]

11. First I thought she was defending the birth of her youngest child.

She is good with those little chants isn't she? She makes * seem more credible.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

I hated to spread the nausea, but just when you think she's at her worst, she tops herself.

And she gets more cheers than McCain and Williams. Oy.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. But those boos at the Flyers' game were music to my ears.:) And to think, she

deliberately brought her little girl onto the ice as a human shield. Excuse me. I have to stop thinking about her, or I'll get ill all over again. ;)

:hi:

[trof]

15. She thinks they are 'roads'. OMG.

Origin of the name "Hampton Roads"

The term "Hampton Roads" is a centuries-old designation that originated when the region was a struggling English outpost nearly four hundred years ago. The name is believed to originated from the combination of two separate words.

Hampton

The word "Hampton" honors one of the founders of the Virginia Company of London and a great supporter of the colonization of Virginia, Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton. In the easternmost part of the new colony, downstream from Jamestown, the early administrative center was known as Elizabeth Cittie , named for Princess Elizabeth, the daughter of King James I, and formally designated by the Virginia Company in 1619. (The Elizabeth River was also named for the princess).

The town at the center of Elizabeth Cittie became known as simply "Hampton", and a nearby waterway was designated Hampton Creek (also known as Hampton River). The town (and later city) of Hampton was the county seat of Elizabeth City County for over 300 years, until they were politically consolidated into the current large independent city known as Hampton, Virginia in 1952. The City of Hampton thus became one of the large Seven Cities of Hampton Roads, of which four others also grew to the larger sizes by consolidating with neighboring jurisdictions such as counties and towns in the mid-twentieth century.

A land area to the north across the bay in what is now called "the Eastern Shore" became known as Northampton. Another area south of the James River became Southampton. As with Hampton, both of these names also remain in use in modern times.

Roads

The term "Roads" as applied to a water channel<1> is used elsewhere. Examples include Castle Roads, in another of the Virginia Company's settlements, Bermuda, and Lahaina Roads, in Hawaii. Signifying the safety of a port, the word "roads" (also called roadstead) in nautical terminology of the day meant "a place less sheltered than a harbor where ships may ride at anchor."

Hampton Roads

The combination of the words as "Hampton Roads" was recorded as the channel linking the James, Elizabeth, and Nansemond rivers with the Chesapeake Bay in an act of the Virginia General Assembly in 1755.<2> Perhaps by definition, the label "harbor" is technically incorrect. However, Hampton Roads has become well-known as the "world's greatest harbor." This is partially because it is the northernmost major East Coast port of the United States which is normally ice-free year round. The latter status is claimed with the notable exception of extraordinary cold winter of 1917, which was the entire U.S.'s coldest year on record.

Although the designation initially applied to the water area, the region has also come to be known as "Hampton Roads", a label more specific than the term "Tidewater Virginia", which could by implication, include other areas of tidal lands in eastern Virginia. The U.S. Postal Service changed its postmark from "Tidewater Virginia" to "Hampton Roads, Virginia" beginning in 1983.<2>

18. Thanks for that, very interesting..

I'm still old school and refer to it as "Tidewater". I've always thought Hampton Roads sounded strange, but now I know the history behind it...:hi:

[Blue_Tires]

33. yeah, i preferred Tidewater, too

[arcadian]

25. Where the Elizabeth and James dump into the Chesapeake Bay

The mouths of those rivers are so big that it's hard to tell where they end and the Bay begins.

[Virginia Dare]

19. WTF? Did she think she was in West Virginia Beach?

:dunce: What a maroon!

[Elidor]

21. Three more weeks of this freak show

I can't wait till she goes away.

22. Palin, energizing the Republican base

She has proven, beyond any doubt, the Republican base consists of the dumbest people on the planet.

[Bluebear]

23. :nodding:

[AnnieBW]

26. We don't smoke and we don't drink

Norfolk! Norfolk! Norfolk!

[Captiosus]

27. Mispronounced 'Norfolk'?

Around here, saying Nor-folk is the mispronunciation!

If she said 'Norfuk', she said it right. :rofl:

[5thGenDemocrat]

31. I was stationed at Fort Monroe (Hampton)

And 34 years later, I STILL say Norfuk.
John
I was stunned the first time I heard it pronounced (by a little blue-haired Anglican lady). But Norfuk it is.

[Blue_Tires]

41. "naw-FAWLK"

[salguine]

29. Hank Junior's daddy would'a upped and said, "Naw, naw, son, that dog don't hunt."

[DS1]
