Sarah Palin Tells Redneck Jokes At NRA Fest Because “These Are Me”

Addressing the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina Sarah Palin decided it would be really cool to tell some redneck jokes.

Palin claimed that some in the media have tried to portray members of the Tea Party movement as “violent or racist or rednecks.”

“And I don’t really have a problem with the redneck part of it, to tell you the truth. I don’t,” the former vice presidential candidate told the crowd. “That’s fine with me.”

Palin told the gun rights supporters how she recently searched online for the best redneck jokes to prepare for an appearance in Alabama where she was introduced by a radio personality named “Bubba.”

“But, I’m reading them [thinking] these aren’t funny, these are me,” Palin said to laughter. “They really are.”

Among Palin’s material:

“‘You’re a redneck if directions to your house include turn off the paved road.'” “Yep,” Palin said rhetorically, “Go to Wasilla, turn off the paved road. That’s where we are.”

“‘You may be a redneck if you’re ever involved in a custody fight over a hunting dog.'” “Todd and I? No. But, we have friends – yep, truly – a custody fight over their hunting dog.”

” – ‘If you yell at your husband, come move this transmission so I can take a bath.'” “I thought that one was funny,” Palin told the crowd.

“-‘If you use your fishing license as a form of i.d.'” “Well, I do that all the time in Dillingham,” Palin said. “That’s how you cash your checks.”

Palin also told jokes about having steel toes in your “best shoes,” going hunting on your honeymoon, getting the septic tank pumped as an anniversary present, having Thanksgiving dinner served on a ping-pong table, thinking Wal-Mart is expensive, and spending the night in the bed of your truck rather than paying for a hotel room.

So, Sarah Palin, who quit her little job as governor for bright lights, big city, and big bucks, continues to pretend that she is some back woods  hick who thinks Wal-Mart is too expensive.  She’s not acting like “one of them”.  She’s making money off them and mocking them in the process.
