DID SARAH PALIN REALLY SAY THE 'C' WORD? (Cajones)
WebToday ^ | 8-1-10 | WebToday

Posted on 08/01/2010 10:56:39 AM PDT by geraldmcg

I'm not sure if we can believe anything in The Washington Post but this one needs mentioning even if they fabricated the story since it has to do with actually making Sarah Palin look good.

What's wrong with this picture? Since when would the WaPo want to make a conservative like Palin look good under any circumstances?

Nonetheless, Matt DeLong of the Washington Post quoted Sarah Palin as saying Barack Obama lacks 'the cojones' to tackle immigration.

Here's the exact quote, copied and pasted from the WaPo story:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Sunday that Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) has "the cojones" that President Obama "does not have" to take on illegal immigration.

So, our conclusion on this matter is that although WaPo loves to trash Palin, this time they just couldn't resist putting in the Palin cojones quote, thus giving her a backhanded compliment.

By the way, the WaPo article ended with this just posted update:

Update: This may be the most high-profile political use of the word "cojones" by an American woman since then-U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Madeleine Albright famously said that Cuba's shooting down of planes flown by anti-Castro exiles was "not cojones" but "cowardice."

Sounds like something she would say. She has a habit of telling the truth.

If you want to see what Palin was talking about, go to Drudge and look at the pic of Obama. He looks so skinny, shrimpy, wimpy and nerdy, I didn’t even recognize him. He is one of the least masculine people I have ever seen. On the View. Whoopi looked 10x as masculine, no exaggeration.

I don’t use coño. I can’t get myself to use that word. “Ajo” or “caramba” are as far as I go. Oh, sometimes “que vaina” slips out, but that is at home.

I applaud her for saying 0bama has no cajones (which of course is the truth — Michelle has that boy’s little marbles in a lockbox), but I personally prefer using the word “spine” or “guts” to describe gutsy females (like Brewer).

And your question is still as stupid as it was the first time around, and I answered it. The answer? Once again, many people use the spanish term for balls, no special reason. BTW, it was not disgusting for her to use the term it is disgusting for Bozo to ignore the border and to refuse to enforce the law and, yes, Palin is correct, Bozo has no balls or spine for that matter.

Really guy? Then why were those “cube” fighter pilots keep chattering on about “boxes”. Quit playing spelling games and advocating for your linguistic bretheren, and join the American side in this fight.

If our nations laws aren’t OPEN SEASON for us to use their language and traditions any way we please. Thats the deal hijo, guess they forgot to read that?

The Spanish word for "big boxes" carries no social or cultural stigma, that I know of...

LOL!!!

Now we are into some kind of French.

The Spanish word is so much better. It has a better ring to it.

I ask myself why she said the word in Spanish when it is just as disgusting and offensive in Spanish as the word is in English.

Because if they attack her over this, they're anti-Hispanic!

She is wrong. He lacks any interest or desire to stop illegal immigration. It is a good thing, in his book.

I remember when we used to use the term spineless, both gender neutral and to the point without coarsening public discourse. It’s annoying and disappointing, but God’s Name being used irreverently bothers me far more.

True. She also could have said "intestinal fortitude" or "courage," but she got it just about right.

She was saying to the invading criminal hordes:

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Well well. Another elitist faux intellectual libertarian. Hey buddy, go pound sand. I don’t see either of the Pauls taking it to Onada. Sometimes a disgusting word may be the only one that is apt.

Personally, I would have preferred she said “b****”, but cajones has more or less slippwd into the American vernacular. I know this may seem impossible to you, but perhaps you missed it.

“The Spanish word for “big boxes” carries no social or cultural stigma, that I know of...“

Cajones (pl) means boxes, drawers, etc. (where things are stored). It is a perfectly good word.

Sigular is “cajon.”

So it’s “boxes”?? I encourage everyone who think it means boxes to go tell the next mexican mafia guy, cartel member, or MS-13 guy that he clearly has no cajones.

This is silly, everyone knows what it means. And Sarah used it right. I hope the right people were insulted,,Obomunists and Mexicans who think they somehow have a birthright to live in America.
