No, not that Orange County, I’m afraid those Real Housewives aren’t her kind-a folk. The conservative Gov. did meet with Paul Sr., of Orange County Choppers—the macdaddy bike-making company—to talk bikes, snowmobiling and fishing while he was there on a business trip.
I’m sure you all watch the show regularly and if you don’t, well shame on you. It’s capitalistic, creative, father-son-bickering, wife-beater-wearing entrepreneurs at their best. Apple for Road Hogs.
Did anyone else notice, aside from Palin’s usual casual demeanor (and even Paul’s—she didnt’ intimidate him in the least), the stuffed grizzly she was leaning on or the snow crab peeking out from her glass coffee table?
The two didn’t talk politics but didn’t have to. Their love of all things outdoors seemed camraderie enough.

Orange County: Meet Sarah Palin | But As For Me links to this page. Here’s an excerpt:
lynnrockets| 5.1.09 @ 5:42PM
THE WRECK OF THE SARAH L. PALIN
(sung to the Gordon Lightfoot song “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald ”)
The legend lives on from the North Slope on down
To the town they call Sandpoint, Idaho
The Heath’s one would say, had a daughter that day
Why they kept her, I must say, “I don’t know”
They loaded up the truck and they tested their luck
When they moved to Wasilla, Alaska
Sarah was schooled and was nobody’s fool
On the court they called her “Barracuda”.
In 1982 she left for Honolulu
Off to Hawaii Pacific College
She did not last long there nor at anywhere
In her quest for some meaningful knowledge.
She finally did see a journalism degree
After stints at 5 or 6 safety schools
Sometime in between she was a pageant queen
Then she worked in TV for KTUU.
She met up with her fate sometime in ’88
When her TV career was a failin’
And everyone knew, as her parents did too
She would soon be the Bride of Todd Palin.
Long before she did wed, she conceived in his bed
That was the end of her abstinency
While laid out on her back, she gave birth to Lil’ Track
The result of an unwed pregnancy.
She was now in a lurch cuz of her right wing church
But she carried on without a care
She had a beehive hairdo, but had nothing to do
That all changed when she became the Mayor.
She appointed some crooks then she banned some good books
No one lasted if they weren’t on her team
Wasilla’s deficit grew, kids fired-up on homebrew
Not to mention the methamphetamine.
She became the next Guv and to show the state love
She proposed to unite two remote shore banks
But once in a bind she politely declined
To the bridge she said,”Thanks but no thanks”.
John McCain now you see had to choose a VP
His campaign was certainly failin’
He wanted a she that was tres “mavericky”
So he chose Alaska’s Sarah Palin.
But poor press reviews of her live interviews
With Couric and Gibson oft replayed
Showed she could not spar with the nightly news stars
Let alone outperform Tina Fey
The election was lost and poor Sarah was tossed
From her seat on “The Straight Talk Express”
She went home and did pose in her new store-bought clothes
But Alaskans were not now impressed
She’s no longer a saint due to ethics complaints
She has nobody left now to wink at
Her appointees ignored and her actions abhorred
She’s reduced to shilling for “Arctic Cat”
She gave Levi some lip about visiting Tripp
And Todd’s sister is facing some jailin’
But paternity laws might be the final straw
For the wreck known as Sarah L. Palin

I saw the show.
Sarah was great. They hit it off well.
Sarah continues to be the good gun she is.
I keep noticing the Dems and MSM keep attacking her which of course means only one thing: They FEAR her.
Probably because she has courage, charisma and convictions.
She'll make a great President some day. Unlike our current POTUS, Sarah does more than talk. She'll pull the country back from the brink after 4 years of Obama/Reid/Pelosi. Of course, I could win the presidency after what these three are doing.
Go get'em Sarah. Keep being the good but strong American woman you are.
Nope| 5.2.09 @ 12:22AM
Hey, remember when Sarah Palin's whole bit was calling Obama a "celebrity"? Praise Jesus that she has enough time to appear on terrible reality TV shows about motorcycles, which oh thank god don't interfere with her actual job of being governor of Alaska. Stay strong, Sarah! We need you for your failed presidential run in 2012!
Nick| 5.2.09 @ 12:38AM
Miss Russell,
What exactly do you mean by "wife-beater-wearing"?
Nick| 5.2.09 @ 12:42AM
Let me correct your typo - by what you wrote, I'm sure meant Dope, not "nope".
DougN| 5.2.09 @ 1:37AM
Nope: You disparage the governor for her appearance with the OCC guys. Is this appearance somehow less dignified than the sitting President of the United States appearing on The Tonight Show?
And I doubt that spending a few hours visiting with the OCC people is going to cause the government in Alaska to crumble.
Basil Plumley| 5.2.09 @ 8:06AM
You stay classy, lynnrockets.
Big J| 5.2.09 @ 10:32AM
Excellent point, Sapwolf. While it's getting very old, the constant battering that Sarah takes from the left is actually a good sign (or couple of signs).
1. They have a strong fear of her.
2. She can take anything they dish out, and then some.
ericmiami| 5.2.09 @ 12:56PM
She has appeared to not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but there is little doubt she's smarter than her supporters.
Coolio| 5.2.09 @ 2:58PM
It might make the Palin Supporter (less than 14% of the US populace) feel a bit better to think that opposing minds "fear" Palin...
...but *thinking* a thing don't make it so.
Meanwhile, back in "Hard Reality Land," Obama's approval rating sits on the high side of 60...
You know, President Barack Hussein Obama? The guy who crushed Sarah and Mac, back in November of 2008, and who is now The Leader of The Free World?
You've probably heard of him, even through your thick veils of delusion.
Be sure, Palin Supporters: We REAL AMERICANS who champion our brilliant and articulate POTUS (Obama) have no "fear" whatsoever that Palin will ever see anything more of the Oval Office than a picture in a history book.
Richard Baker| 5.2.09 @ 7:04PM
Coolio:
Did you know that a minority, 25-30%, of the population did the Revolution? The Communists in both parties should remember that Communizing this country will happen over a lot of dead bodies. One should be careful of using the word delusion. Ask King George's representatives about "delusion."
Basil Plumley| 5.2.09 @ 9:16PM
@ Coolio
Meanwhile, back in "Hard Reality Land," Obama's approval rating sits on the high side of 60...
Perhaps, you need to check out the latest Rasmussen poll. Not very good news for those who live in "Hard Reality Land".
By the way, you probably need to check the internals of those polls. The headlines sound great but there are for more Dems/Libs than GOP/Conservatives being polled; by almost a 2-1 margin.
It is probably a little early for a Victory Lap. Besides, Sarah Palin isn't dependent on the teleprompter.
@ ericmiami| 5.2.09 @ 12:56PM

Who claims you? The Island of Misfits Toys? Thanks for butchering the English language. A product of public schools, no doubt.
Coolio| 5.2.09 @ 9:27PM
Ah, Richard Baker: The voice of delusion, in full.
How cute!
And Herr Baker doesn't seem to know what "Communism" actually is.
Am I surprised?
But I'll betcha he knows the difference between a tea bag and squeaky little mouse, dog-gonnit!
My, my, my, how the fading and irrelevant Richard Bakers DO grasp at their persecution complexes. So sad to see them cling to the wrong side of history.
Richard, while the enlightened adults take us into the 21st Century, please do yourself a large favor and stop using out-of-context references to the American Revolution. As with Jesus Christ, the Founding Fathers would look at guys like you and wonder where they'd gone wrong. How it must pain Georgie W. to look from the grave and see guys like yourself waving the false banner of "Revolution".
You and your kind have had your tur, Richard. You lost. You were crushed. The country, indeed, THE WORLD has no further appetite for your Neanderthal point-of-view.
Richard, you and yours are all fading quickly from the landscape. We shall enjoy listening to your cries from the tarpits as you sink into history, along with the National Socialists, the Salem witch hunters, the Inquisitors, and those who would force black folk to sit in the rear.
Alas, poor Richard! I knew him, Sarah!
Coolio| 5.2.09 @ 9:35PM
RE: Rasmussen Polls and Basil Plumgarden
Ah, yes, Rasmussen Polls: The place where all of the GOP's wimpering wounded turn for their nourishment.
Right after Rush and Hannity...
Basil and Richard, please read the following words slowly and carefully:
YOU ARE OUT OF POWER, OUT OF TIME, IRRELEVANT. THE REAL AMERICANS WON; YOU LOST.
Now be a good couple of Wingnuts and maybe Uncle Beck will read you a little bedtime story tonight.
Tonight's title? "The Little Elephant Who Lost His Way and Became a Mixed-Up Zombie".
Clifford Wicks| 5.2.09 @ 9:57PM
Coolio's comments, and thousands like them, convince me over here on the other side of the world that Sarah Palin must be an incredible force. So many, including the MSM seem to desperately wish she was a has been, but her power and support and your own inability to ignore her make it certain that is not the case.
Basil Plumley| 5.2.09 @ 10:30PM
Ah, Foolio ..... you are such a gracious winner/whiner. I hope the country can survive such class.
@ Clifford Wicks
Your comments are right on target. Sarah Palin tends to be the "silver bullet" and/or "stake" to these folks.
zen | 5.3.09 @ 2:32PM
Nice to see Palin with Orange County Chopper's Paul SR. I wish she was in the white house, because we would actually have a sledhead in power - could you imagine?? zenwaiter
DEO| 5.6.09 @ 11:48AM
WHY do THEY think Palin inspires FEAR. She is ze funny idiot, no???
The tap dancing vaudeville act of Sarah Palin...oooh scary!!!!
If she isn´t ADVOCATING death to animals, she is sitting on a bear skin rug, oh that crazy, wacky, zany Sarah Palin!!! How we love her!!!
