Paul Sr and Palin on "Bear" Couch

Former GOP VP candidate, Sarah Palin, won’t be strapping on leather chaps and straddling a motorcycle in Easy Rider 2 any time soon — although I am sure that cultist Greta Van Susteren’s  hubby John Coates would eagerly back it and watch it over and over.

Palin welcomed the Orange County Chopper boys to Anchorage because they are building a chopper to commemorate Alaska’s 50 years of statehoood. Um…ok. Paul Teutul, Sr.,who resembles a walrus with that overgrown stache on his face, is the biker boss at Orange County Ironworks and Orange County Choppers. Teutal also stars in TLC’s “American Chopper” with sons Paul (who always gets yelled at by Sr.) and Mikey (who can do no wrong and always cracks Sr. up), who together own a chain of nationwide stores. They have designed over-the-top ornate choppers for the likes of Leno to Lance Armstrong. Many critics would argue that their bikes don’t run and nobody actually a chopper.

The Chopper Boys met with Palin in her office while taping a segment for their American Chopper show. Wonder if Mikey wore his shorts to Alaska? Rumor has it, that this segment was taped right after the election ended. Does it really matter? Well yes, pundits are saying this was a PR stunt for Palin’s career. DUH! How can it not be PR, that’s all this woman does!

When the Orange County boys walked into the room, Palin said “Holy Moly! Hello, how are you? Nice to see you! Are you stayin’ warm?”

Paul Sr. asked Palin she had a snow mobile, she said yes she had a “snow machine“. WHAT? A SNOW MACHINE?  Wait…does it make snow cones too? After doing a quick google search, apparently only Alaskans call snow mobiles “snow machines” because everyone else considers the term to represent a machine which, well, makes snow. Those crazy Alaskans and their Palinisms!

Speaking of Palinisms, Sarah’s constant use of “Holy Molys” and ”you betchas,” and her misappropriation of McCain’s term “Maverick” during the campaign along with her incessant need to wink, just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. And based on the election results, I am NOT alone. Needless to say, I just can’t stand the woman.

The Soup Blog sez:

If there’s one thing Sarah Palin likes, it’s the great outdoors, as seen from a snowmobile, a helicopter, a motorcycle…pretty much anything with a motor and a spot you can shoot from.

Thus, it was a summit made in nature-crunching hell when the galoots from American Chopper brought their gear, guts and that disturbing mustache to the office of Alaska’s hottest governor.

The occasion? Paul Teutul Sr. is building a chopper to commemorate Alaska’s 50 years of statehood. Despite the stench of an obvious PR move (and his refusal to take the hint that it’s a “snow machine”), Palin welcomes the biker boss, who for some reason wears his shades throughout the meeting. Make of that what you will.

One question: Did Palin kill that couch herself?

I found it impossible to focus on anything that Teutal and Palin were talking about watching that clip, due to the HUGE FREAKIN’ DEAD BEAR Palin was so casually leaning on. It disgusted me to no end. We all know she is a moose-bagger, but I guess it was her Dad who shot the bear. Bloodlust runs in the family it seems.

Who would want such a beautiful animal killed and STUFFED to put in their office so they can use it as an arm rest?  Answer’s simple, wacky Sarah Palin.

Let’s see all you Palinites defend THAT decorating faux pas! 
Then again…most of Palin’s supporters LOVE the NRA and killing things and what not. Nothing like killing a furry creature to get you all hot and bothered ay? Eh.

A snippet quoted from her bio on the Alaska Commission website states “she is a lifetime member of the NRA and enjoys hunting”. Such a lady!

I seriously would not be surprised if we saw Palin and the Nuge (that’d be Ted Nugent, who penned the book, Kill It and Grill It) on a TV hunting special. I bet Palin would chomp at the bit for a chance to go bow hunting with the Nuge!  She can pal around with the Nuge’s wife Shemane and they can exchange moose and ‘possum stew recipes.  You betcha! wink wink! What would Ellie May think?

Even People commented on the “bear throw” in the clip:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shows off her office décor – including a grizzly bear throw! – while taping a segment for TLC’s American Chopper.

In a two-minute clip filmed inside her Anchorage office, Orange County Choppers boss Paul Teutul Sr. talks in Thursday night’s episode about building a motorcycle to honor Alaska’s 50th anniversary while Palin leans back with her arm resting on a bear that was shot by her father, Chuck Heath.

With the bear’s mouth agape and hanging off her left shoulder, Palin casually replied, “We’ll ride it to the fishing hole,” in regard to the commemorative chopper.

Getting back to the bike…

Although building a chopper is a cool way to commemorate a state, I guess, I don’t think a chopper represents Alaska in the farthest stretch of the imagination.  I am not saying that they should commemorate Alaska’s 50th year statehood by erecting a giant “snow machine” statue, but commemorating Alaska with a chopper is like Florida commemorating its state with a giant igloo statue. 

Oh, calm down, I know it is only PART of Alaska’s commemoration celebration. Of course they issued the standard commemorative stamps and coins, and apparently they have a whole myriad of festivities planned.

But a chopper? Wonder where the planter chopper will end up? 
Maybe it will end up in Palin’s office along with the stuffed bear.

Two things that will never move again, to share an office with another thing that will never move out of that office.
Which seems oddly appropriate, now that I think about it. 

*wink, wink*
