The Post Turtle, Sarah Palin

from a posting at Sunnyside Up:

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic came around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.

The old rancher said, "Well ya know, Palin is a post turtle."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked what a post turtle was.

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you see a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumbass put her up there to begin with."
