“So Sambo beat the bitch!”


This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.


According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.


“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.


Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”


Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.

If there was some way to verify that this really was true, it would be shocking.

Are you referring to Lucille the waitress, Charley James the reporter, or Sarah Palin?

Oh brother! That rumor has been floating around for over a month, check they date on the article you provided. Don't you think if this were true something more would of come of it by now? Just another smear attempt with no facts to back it up except for a waitress named Lucille. HA, ha, ha! Nice try, though.

Is there nothing the democrats won't stoup to? What's next, a story about Palin dressing up in a KKK costume for Halloween?


I know democrats don't like McCain much, but they are really ramping up the hate for Palin.
