You can just see "...anything." ready to escape his lips during that pause.

Awwwwwwwwwww Snap!

Not much of an expert? I'm sorry, did Palin's proximity to Russia not come up during her Vice Presidential bid?

Also, that thing about being punched in the face and not doing anything about it, isn't it kind of like that whole "turn the other cheek" thing that her religion says you are supposed to do?

He could have stopped at "not much".

I was really hoping for a much bigger smack down from the Husseininator. Put that bitch in her place dude!

Sarah Palin is old news, but it's taking a long time for certain people to realize it. Obama knows she's irrelevant and was wise to not play ball.

Her metaphor doesn't even make sense. It's not that the kid getting punched won't do anything back, it's that he won't pull out a shotgun and blow the other kid's head off for simply hitting him in the face.

^Republicans are all about framing. Putting this analogy on the playground does several things:

-Invokes the familiar frame of being bullied
-Invokes cowardice
-Portrays the conflict as one of equals
-Portrays the conflict as being between immature irrational parties
-Portrays the conflict as one of self defense

Not saying it was a successful bit of propaganda, but I believe this is what her writers were probably going for.

dat bumbaclot cunt be havin' diarrhea of da mouth

that's if Obama was Jamaican

Despite an aversion to violence, when she says "punch me in the face", I wish I was. In reality, at some point, punching her into a faceless pulp would cease to be satisfying, but in my fantasies I just pressure-wash the mess into the gutters and let the small portion of the world with brains thank me for my good work.

And the shotgun is loaded with radioactive bullets.

If it were me, I'd have pointed out that Sarah Palin still says "nook-you-ler".

...and the bullets are filled with killer bees!

At some point in this thread there was a reasonable argument, but then you had to mention killer bees =( Those things are dangerous man!>> ^kymbos:
