Remember the Sarah Palin baby name generator? I suspect Governor Palin has been using it as well. Recently, the potential second-in-command of these United States told People Magazine her plans for her next baby's name, should she have one. Given her background, her pride at being a "hockey mom," and the unusualness of her other kids' names, it may not be that big a surprise, however."I always wanted a son named Zamboni," said the vice-presidential hopeful. She also told the magazine that she considers herself an intellectual.
Now, I'm as big a fan of unusual names as anyone, but naming a kid after a large machine -- what does that say? I can see it down the road when he's in a pub looking to meet the girl of his dreams: "Hi! I'm Zamboni." "Oh, you drive a Zamboni?" "No, my name is Zamboni." "Goodbye." Palin also says she's not planning on having any more kids. Plus, if she's elected, I doubt she'll have time for another kid; perhaps this is a good reason to vote for her? What do you all think?
| Sure, it's a proud and useful name. | |

| Nope, I don't name kids after machinery. |

Eleanor Peters said...I think Gov Palin is a complete airhead. What woman would name a son Trig, or a daughter Bristol ? These kids have to live with these names for the rest of their lives. This woman would never make a good VP. She has already proven she cannot separate law from family. She might have been right in firing the man she did for the riight reason, but certainy not right in trying to fire the trooper. Yes she had to contact the right person to have it looked into and investagated. But that was in the Police chiefs position to finish. Family affairs do not belong in politics. Her sister could have gotton police protection and a restraining order from the court and let the court take care of any wrong doing in this. Putting pressure on her husband to get him fired was just revenge and if she is such an avid reader of the Bible, she would have known this. I myself do not intend to vote for her or McCain. She again has proven she is wrong in letting let the Rep party supply her with money for clothes. What would she do with the goverments money? She charged the Alaskan goverment to pay for trips not for Gov business many times. An abuse of office.. A trip to see her husband come in first in a snowmobile race? Come on, this lady would have her hand in the cookie jar for what ever she wanted and charge the government. I am voting for Obama. He is more presidential and knows what he is talking about as Gov Palin does not and this is not a traininng course for a VP. Make no mistake in what and who this lady is. A rip off in the Gov seat. Like the foreign Gov has already said, a beauty pagent queen with no idea what it is all about. Let Obama step in and help the poor people again like Clinton did and leave the McCain factory not stop a war started for the wrong reason and would not hesitate to bomb Iran. Bush started a false war for money and still has not gotton his main purpose, which is Ben Laden.. Obama only would if he had to and we were attacked first. McCain just wants to win as he comes from a military family. We have had enough of war. Lets stop the blood shed of innocent people and try to save lives and not kill them. It is your life McCain would be playing with. A lot of presidents were not in the service before being elected president. Obama has some great advisors and would not destroy this country. McCain would. Vote wisely and win..

Juniper said...Leslie, there's no need to use quotes around the word hate, because the dislike of this woman is real, not pretend.
Leslie, are you a Christian? Because in your post, you come across as someone who isn't. You seem like an intolerant shrew, and ending your post with god bless isn't going to help you.

rocco1012 said...Not to be rude, but why is someone of Sara Palins age even considering having more children. Five is a blessing that she sould be considerate of.
Enough is enough or does she want to increse her chances once again of having a down syndrom child. We all know that the older we become the greater the possibility is. If she had no children or was recently married I could understand it. But you! You have been married for a long time have children and soon to be a grandmother. Give it up already. Or are you trying to repopulate the state.

Rene Donk said...Zamboni is One of Sarah's flippent answers and corporate media makes it in something big. When are they going to lay off. Corporate Media does not go after Hillary, Obama and his friends, Biden and even McCain, with the same vengeance as they do after this woman they go full board. Corporate Media is sexist.
Why they are doing this, because they know that Mrs Palin has more expierence then Obama the community organizer. Corporate media owe Mrs. Palin an apology big time.

LOVEPOWERED said...I am a liberal and an Obama supporter. I respect her right to name her children anything she wants...... But....Zamboni ? I do think that was a joke or a poor choice....don't know. What did worry me this past week is that she answered to a third grader's question about what a Vice President does. Quote: " She has charge of the Senate". WRONG!. This was not the first time she got this worng and she had time to look at the constitution and memorize just a couple of lines. I am disappointed in her not as a Republican but as a woman.

christine said...Sarah Palin is a liar. ''I told them thanks but no thanks on the bridge to nowhere'' sure you did, after they
said they wouldnt pay for it..''I sold the jet on Ebay for a profit!'' ummm no you didn't you listed it on Ebay
, it never sold, it sold to a private party for a loss...''I'm just your average hockey mom''..hmm
what hockey mom do YOU know that spends $150,000 a month for her clothes? ''I'm a full time mom'' ..sure you are, at taxpayers
expense of course, Bristol was staying in a $700 night a hotel room, nice. She was found guilty of abusing
her powers as Governor of Alaska, they are expanding that investigation & this friday she will give more extensive
testimony. Sarah Palin is a liar.

molly said...and to the stupid SHEEP who said '' Palin said she doesnt plan on having more children ''.. well look.. the breedcow didnt PLAN her last one, and she doesnt believe in birth control and shes 44 yrs old. YOU do the math. I PRAY she doesnt have anymore kids as she's already ignored the ones she did give birth to. I guess pro-life stops when you have the baby. Sad , sad example.

christine said...SARAH PALIN IS GOING TO REFORM ALASKA, REFORM WASHINGTON, REFORM THE WORLD!
JUST DON'T ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT SHE HERSELF DOES. THAT'S IMPROPER, SEXIST AND PARTISAN.
SOMBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ?If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'strange, different.'
Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, it's a quintessential American story If your name is Barack you're a radical,unpatriotic Muslim.
Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick. Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.Attend 5 different small
colleges before graduating,you're well grounded
