National Society of Newspaper Columnists Gives Palin 'Sitting Duck' Award

By E&P Staff

Published: June 30, 2009 2:32 PM ET NEW YORK She may not have won the Vice Presidency, but Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin did receive a consolation prize from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists (NSNC): the Sitting Duck Award.

Palin, running mate of GOP nominee John McCain, was selected for the award at the NSNC's Annual Conference, held last weekend in Ventura, Calif. She was nominated for "showing it's hard to put your best foot forward when it's in your mouth," according to the NSNC Web site.The Sitting Duck Award is given annually to the person "to whom columnists have turned in the last 12 months, when he or she is desperate for a topic and has to meet a deadline." Impeached Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich finished as the runner-up in the voting.

Palin did not appear to accept the award.

I just sent those buttheads this little comment to stew on:

So you award the “sitting duck” award to Sarah Palin huh?...
Who said the following (these are of course just a few)....: “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”.... “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today”...”I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.””....”using a breathalizer for asthma”?...
HERE’S A HINT, he’s pathetically our President.
The reason I don’t get a newspaper anymore is not because I can get it electronically...it’s because Newspaper columnists are Liberal Morons who fear a real women who happens to be a Republican with class and honor.

Yep, they fear her, more than they fear anyone else, so they'll do all they can to tear her down.

Notice that Republicans they don't try to tear down (until after they are nominated) are people like McCain and Huckabee. I voted for Palin, not McCain, and will never vote for Huckabee.

This is from the current columnists, the ones that have failed so badly that they are destroying an entire industry.

They would rather go down still hammering holes into their hull rather than search for life jackets, suicidal.

If she had had a POTATO moment like Dan Quayle

Which moment the leftist DBM has lied about for all these years, never including the fact that the teachers gave Quayle a set of cards to use in a spelling bee that had the word spelled wrong.

The 57 states that Obama spoke of was his error alone. Of course it's not worth repeating over and over until all Americans have heard it.

Guam, USVI, Puerto Rico, etc.

Two points:

1) None of those are states.

2) Even if they were, I don't believe that Obama visited any of them.

Gosh, and I bet they wonder why nobody reads the newspaper anymore...

Three years ago we had three papers available. The smaller, originally more conservative one that tried to emulate her evil big sisters was first to fold. The second one folded this year, and just waiting for the third to implode. It's getting smaller... and smaller... and smaller...

What’s a newspaper columnist?

With a few exceptions, synonymous with "liar."

I wonder what kind of awards they give to out-of-work columnists.

They get their picture on the wall near the door of the Wal Mart.

Liberals play dirty, which is why they always win. Conservatives have no desire to get down & dirty, which is why they always lose. This is why Conservatives have lost the culture war.

News report of Obama visit to Puerto Rico
News report of Obama visit to U.S. Virgin Islands
He hasn't visited Guam yet. That may be why it was 57, not 58.

This is a letter I sent to Ms Bennett, I hope you enjoy...
Dear Ms Bennett,

I thought it was interesting that you choose Sarah Palin for the sitting duck award as apposed to Joe Biden, I think you qualify for the Dick Cheney straight shooter award. Have you eaten at the diner Biden mentioned in the debate? You know the one that has been closed for ten years! How about the famous Biden quote “I have a three letter word for you J O B S”, and of course there is Biden’s classic “stand up Chuck routine” that is hilarious!!

To help you with next years meeting I have come up with a few jokes to help you get things right…(pun intended)

What do you call a journalism graduate from a prestigious college? Unemployed (rim shot)

What do you call a Newspaper that slants stories to the left and publishes fiction as fact and hires reporters that lie? The New York Times or Bankrupt.. But I repeat myself (Apologies to Mark Twain)

Why isn’t there an award for the deaf, dumb and blind reporters who read Braille with their left hand? Because they are indistinguishable from the rest of the journalist!

How do you get 10,000 reporters into a small town in Alaska? Tell them there MIGHT be a scandal involving Sarah Palin.

How do you get 10,000 reporters out of Chicago? Tell them there IS a scandal involving Barack Obama!!

How many reporters does it take to investigate Obama’s college records and why they are sealed, Obama’s involvement with Resko and all the subsequent scandals, ear marks to the hospital where his wife worked, and Obama’s ties to Blagojevich etc? We don’t know because none have ever done it (rim shot).

My last and favorite joke for your next meeting needs an adult advisory and may offend some but I think it is the funniest…DO NOT READ IF EASILY OFFENDED..

How do you tell a journalists mouth from Obama’s *ss hole? You can’t both are puckered and brown from being stuck together so long and the same stuff comes out of both!!

Good luck on your next meeting, if you can find enough employed people to attend, I hope I helped provide some entertainment with my good light hearted fun!

Sincerely Yours
