President-elect Barack Obama may have used powerful prose to win the election, but America has decided that it's Alaska Governor Sarah Palin whose words are more memorable. A poll of 1,010 Americans conducted through Facebook, Twitter and other social networks by voice-to-content leader SpinVox found that respondents credited Sarah Palin with delivering a more memorable quote over Barack Obama by an 8 percent margin.

The Top Ten Most Memorable Quotes of 2008:

#10. "Wall-E!" - From the motion picture Wall-E

#8. "There's a delicious irony in seeing private luxury jets flying in to Washington, D.C. and people coming off of them with tin cups in their hands." - Congressman Gary L. Ackerman on the Big Three automakers' trip to Capitol Hill

Fey wasn’t impersonating Palin, she was lampooning her.

“#1. “I can see Russia from my house!” - Tina Fey, impersonating Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live”

So a made up quote is the most memorable?

Only in America.

I know I need to calm down, but my blood boils everytime I see this stupid quote. The clueless American people actually believe she said this in this context...

God, I hope the sheeple continue to have short memories so that this stuff is long and buried 4 years from now....

I heard Kinky Friedman say that repeatedly a couple of years ago during the Texas governor's race.

Oh, wait. Wrong Party.

#2. "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick!" - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin

This was probably the only inane thing she said through the entire campaign - and that's only because I hate pitbulls.

A poll of one thousand through FACEBOOK, TWITTER and “social networks” and of course Scarface Fay takes No.1? Forgive me while I go throw up over this cooked up BS.

I mentioned this already in a thread last night about Christmas presents, but yesterday I was on Amazon, checking on possible gifts, and I noticed that the “Sarah Palin” 2009 calendar was ranked as the no. 1 top-seller in said wall-calendar category. Pretty amazing. And, another example of the gov topping lists!

#6 was by Sarah Palin, not Hillary. (It was about Hillary.)

The liberals need Palin as their "Emmanuel Goldstein" for the daily "Two Minutes Hate".

Don’t you mean ‘stalking’ her.

The msm is relentless in their attacks on Sarah. Proving she is a Class A threat to them.

I love the gal.
