rancher - palin

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas
rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working with cattle, the doctor
struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to
Sarah Palin and her bid to 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 him what a post turtle was. The old
rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post
turtle." The old rancher saw a 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 is up
there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin
with."
