Some FAKE words from Governor Palin

Alas, these words are wrongly attributed.

From interviews with Governor Palin by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006 when she was running for Governor

On Creationism:

The simple yet elegantly awkward moose proves God's creation and not evolution is the source of all life. How could something as oddly shaped and silly looking as a moose evolve through so-called "natural selection?" Is evolution a committee? There is nothing natural about a dorky moose! Only God could have made a moose and given it huge antlers to fight off his predatory enemies. God has a well known sense of humor, I mean He made the platypus too.


On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR:

God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats.

Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoying caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new, at the time, custom Austri an hunting rifle. And guess what? That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great!


On Alaskans serving overseas in Iraq:

Well, God bless them, and I mean God and Jesus because without Jesus we'd be Muslims too or Jewish, which would be a little better because of the superior Israeli Air Force.

alas, no. I should find it. It was from political forward. The source appeared reliable.

Here is a URL where the blogger takes credit for posting these "fake Gov. Sarah Palin quotes."

Thanks for the followup. Not that I support her in any way, but those would have been very scary quotes had they been real.

"You know, you can see Russia from parts of Alaska" is bad enough, at least with reference to foreign policy experience.
