Says sheâs ready to bring peace & prosperity to world
WASILLA, AK â Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who many Republicans hail as the second coming of the Virgin Mary, sans the virgin part, says she is âready to lead America into the promised landâ and usher in the â1,000 year era of peace and prosperity promised in the Bible,â as vice-president.
âThe Lord has anointed me, and I humbly accept my new role,â she said in a rare press conference. Since the GOP convention in early August, Palin has been in near-isolation from the press, as she undergoes what her handlers termed âbrainwashing â in the sense that she had an unclean brain. You know, sheâs a pretty wild gal underneath.â
Empowered by her triumphant speech at the convention, Palin seemed inspired, saying, âThis is a mission from God, and like the Blues Brothers, I will see it through to fruition, no matter what the evil Democrat party throws at me â tomatoes, beer bottles, it donât matter â they canât touch this.â
Senator John McCain stood at her side during the announcement, saying afterwards that he was âvery proudâ and ready to carry out his part of the âdivine missionâ by getting into the White House, âand after that, well, the Lord works in mysterious ways, my friends.â
Palin did not answer questions after her prepared remarks, but did heal several cripples with her steely gaze, before being ushered off the stage by her staff. When McCain was asked why she wonât face reporters, he answered, âIf you believe, all you need to know was in her statement. For the unbelievers, only time, and perhaps Armageddon, will convince them.â
Palin did touch on a wide range of issues in her statement, saying that her daughterâs pregnancy is âproof that abstinence-only education works â after all, sheâs almost 18,â and that while some say she exercised âchoiceâ in deciding to carry the baby, it was actually âthe will of God, like the war.â
On education, Palin said âour libraries are wonderful storehouses of knowledge, and as vice-president, I will work to cleanse them of heretical books, insuring that our children will not have to waste time sorting out the truth.â She called books on evolution âthe lies of the devil Darwinâ and said the shelf space left by their removal would be filled with bibles under a McCain-Palin administration.
Palin touched on her âreign as governorâ in Alaska, saying that âalthough it never seceded from the U.S. as we in the Alaska Independence Party had hoped,â she, like all Republicans, always put her country first. âAnd that country would have been named âDivine Alaska,ââ she added.
She ended her statement forcefully, saying, âThe looney left has had their opportunity these last two years in Congress â and look where it has gotten us. Weâre tired of filibustering. Vetoing isnât good enough. No more. Itâs time for us to take back this country â we shall not be led astray, not if this beauty-pageant moose-hunting hockey mom has anything to say about it!â
