Palin To Kerry: "Why The Long Face?" (VIDEO)

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took a shot at John Kerry when speaking to troops in Kosovo.

The Massachusetts Democrat had joked that he wished Palin had gone missing instead of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.

"He looked quite frustrated and he looked so sad," Palin responded. "I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say, 'John Kerry, why the long face?'"

Spalin tried her hand at comedy. What next?

[Girl28]

Sorry, Sarah, Kerry's joke was funnier. It wasn't nice to make fun of his physical appearance, anyway. People can't help the way they look.

[PurplePeon]

Couldn't he have plastic surgery? Or maybe they could just stick his big old head on a horse so it all blends in together.

How appropriate that your avatar is from a children's TV show - that's about the level of your humor.

[Nancy84]

I'm confused..­.. why would a governor be taking trips abroad? And, who's paying for this trip? How classy is she... bringing up political differences to our troops.

[WowJones]

Governors take trips overseas all the time, for trade missions (see Mark Sanford). However Sarah is not going to see her Army boyfriend. She is going to bulk up her fake foreign security chops.

[indy girl]

I can just imagine the next Presidential campaign.

"Foreign policy is somethin' that is just so very important to me! Because one time I went to visit the brave pro-America troops workin' so hard to proGRESS Kosovo there! To wherever it needs to go, under the umbrella of freedom and abstinence, also! And did I mention I was a regulator of OIL and GAS?"

:::: door slam :::::

Will she get credit for her re-fueling stop in Germany?

[SeymourButz]

How presidential! Sarah Palin in 2012.... hahahahaha.

[desertdweller]

Miss Moose Jam has gone down on everything but the Titanic...­....

[PurplePeon]

Kinda like Vera.

[Cinnamonape]

She's taking after Bush. She decides to ignore a possible disaster in alaska , instead heading out of Dodge for a political dog-and-pony show. Funny how she made damn sure the media was there on her secret mission.

Gee, Sarah, why the empty head?

[abloke]

I am 62 years old. I haven't felt this ill since my grandmother forced me to eat gruel when I was five. This women is one long finger nail screech across the black board.

[kindmind]

How exciting for her that a well known stateman mentioned her name. Trouble is he was obviously talking about the endless media coverage, whereas she made fun of his appearance. And apparently she has gone missing from her job long enough to insult a vet.

[PurplePeon]

"JMC should have been incarcerated years ago so he has nothing legitimate to say."

That's rather insulting to a vet, no?

[punkingale]

These people quoting Ronald Reagan have not read "The Man Who Sold The World: Ronald Reagan and the Betrayal of Main Street America". I highly recommend it.

[PurplePeon]

It sounds very neutral and objective.

[LemonMeringue]

I just got off the phone with someone in Iraq. It was 120 degrees there a few hours ago.

Can't the do better for these guys than entertainment by a woman who is there only for political ends? It can't have been pleasant.

[jcko]

Kosov is not in Iraq.

[LemonMeringue]

I guess I should read the article, instead of just watching the video. Thanks.

[Middleclassvotingbloc]

She was careful not to talk negative about their commander and chief, thank god she stayed away from her usual treasonous statements.

[punkingale]

Does she ever come up for air????

[moxieme]

She seems to be totally oblivious to the objective. She's supposed to be sounding Presidential. This is getting sadder by the moment.

[tomasedison]

Did Palin have her breasts augmented ?

She sure as he// didn't have her brains augmented.

[Ponderus]

LETTERMAN!!!

Ratings up!

Bible Spice --

poll numbers down.

Oopsy.

[indy girl]

And also too that Michael Jackson and slutty Governor Sanford! Can you believe the NERVE of them bumping Icon Barbie out of the headlines? What IS this world coming to?

Now show the stats for the period of time during/following the Palin conflab...­..

BTW, "Purple" has been in the kool aid barrel all night, and is both irrational and delusinal today!

Hey Sarah -

your daughter ever marry her baby's daddy? Nice Family Values....

[monstermash9]

Just like McCain cheating on his disfigured wife with a younger woman. Rethuglicans are terrible when it comes to family values, and what makes it worse is that they base their careers on it.
