WASHINGTON (Ritters) - In a speech to the national convention of tea-party lawyers Sarah Palin criticized Obama for his handling of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull. She also suggested that volcanoes if they found there way into the hands of terrorist or rogue states could be a serious national security issue.

Palin suggested in a Q&A session that President Obama isn't doing enough to stop the Icelandic Volcano from disrupting European air travel. When asked about the situation in Europe the former governor replied: "Say he decided to use force on Eyjafjallajokull or decided really to come out and do whatever he could to support Air travel, which I would like him to do,"

When asked if Volcanoes could form a threat to the united states she implied Obama's handling of the matter might just make things worse: "He hasn't come right out and threatened violence on Eyjafjallajokull. Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that? It's a disturbing trend."

Perhaps the most shocking revelation in her Q&A session came when she suggested failed states might weaponize volcanoes: "What if Ahmadinejad obtains one of these monsters? That could be a serious threat, one which Obama has said nothing about.".

While knowledgeable experts and geologist laughed at the claims made by the former Governor, an unnamed source at the American Enterprise institute stated: "Several African nations have been connected to sales of weapons grade magma to both Iran and North Korea." He then added: "It's a real threat. If they manage to get a volcano, and then a fitting wind towards the West, we might all end up stuck on beaches coming summer, unable to return from our vacation destinations."

Finally Palin suggested she might be better equipped to handle a volcano then the president: "As Ash Clouds rear their heads 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."

I never said "I" could spell it or pronounce it! :rofl:

Which only lends credence to what I said about Palin's ability to pronounce it:) If I can't, Caribou Barbi most assuredly cannot! :rofl:

Isn't it past time for Lord Karma or the slap back of hubris to kick in?

Trouble with some satire is it's too close to the truth.

There's no damn way that vacuous trash can pronounce Eyjafjallajokull!

10. I almost break my neck with that 'Scoobie look' everytime she makes a statement

[uppityperson]

11. Too funny.

I love satire, and love when people can't tell it.

[Maine-ah]

25. it's hard to tell when it comes to quotes from SP

she's so effing stupid to begin with, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if she really said it. lol

[Cirque du So-What]

19. I saw something very similar first thing this morning

I hadn't consumed my coffee yet, so I may not have been fully awake, but I seem to recall many more misspelled words and a shitload of tortured syntax in the original version; it was practically unreadable. Is it possible that the author performed a badly-needed edit of this piece?

[cynatnite]

20. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised...

:rofl:

[divvy]

21. The frightening part is that 10% of the population actually understands her thinking
