Wasilla, Alaska (Exclusive to The Adobo Chronicles) – Many will remember Sarah Palin’s controversial comments during a speech last year, declaring that “the nation’s high levels of debt, including money borrowed from China, was “like slavery.” While she prefaced her comments by saying “this isn’t racist,” many of her critics still believe that it actually was.

Her remarks were sharply criticized by television host Martin Bashir who cited the diaries of a former plantation overseer who punished slaves by having someone defecate in their mouth or urinate on their face. He suggested the former Alaska governor deserved the same treatment. Bashir subsequentlly apologized and resigned from his post at MSNBC.m

A couple of weeks ago, Palin posted a photograph of her and three African American ladies to her Twitter Account, with the following comment:

“Proof I am not racist. See, I’ve got black friends too — three of them, in fact!”

The ladies were, in fact, representatives of MAC (the cosmetic store) at the Pecanland Mall in Monroe, Louisiana. None of them have ever met Palin before.

Palin was in Louisiana campaigning for Republican Bill Cassidy (R-Baton Rouge) who is currently in a heated senate runoff against Senator Mary Landrieu, D-LA. The runoff will take place on December 6.

Apparently, Palin left her cosmetic bag on the plane and had to stop by the Mall for some last-minute make-up with the assistance of the MAC ladies. She thanked the ladies for “helping out with a travel emergency.”

Wasilla, Alaska (The Adobo Chronicles) – In a sharp turnaround that shocked both Democrats and Republicans, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today threw her support for President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

Obama’s executive actions will benefit some 5 Million undocumented immigrants now in the U.S., notably parents of U.S. citizens or legal residents as well as those who have been brought to this country as young children.

“I have been doing a lot of soul-searching lately,” Palin said, “and I have come to the conclusion that it s about time we fixed our broken immigration system and welcome immigrants from all over the world who could greatly contribute to our society.” Her change of heart comes right before Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day this week.

Palin said that it has recently been brought to her attention that the very first Thanksgiving in 1621 involved Native Americans making a food offering to undocumented immigrants — pilgrims from England.

In addition, the former Vice Presidential candidate acknowledged that she herself comes from a family of immigrants. Her ancestry is English, with German and Irish. She also has remote Dutch ancestry, and extremely remote Scottish roots.

“While we are a nation of laws, what is more important is that we are a nation of immigrants,” Palin said.

Upon hearing the news, President Obama called Palin to thank her and invited her to have beer with him at The White House after the Thanksgiving holiday. Palin gladly accepted.

All’s well that ends well.

RALPH NADER CONFLICTED OVER POTENTIAL RUNNING MATE IN 2016 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

Winsted, Connecticut (The Adobo Chronicles) – Ralph Nader is a five-time candidate for president of the United States. In 1992, he was a write-in candidate in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. In 1996 and 2000, he was the nominee for the Green Party. In 2004 and 2008, he ran as an independent candidate.

Now, Nader, 80, is ready to be the standard bearer for the Tea Party and this is making the Republican Party stalwarts nervous about their chances of securing the presidency in 2016.

That Nader is running again, or that he has embraced the Tea Party, is not the big news. Rather, it is the fact that the political activist, author, lecturer and attorney is very conflicted about whom he will choose as his vice presidential running mate. He has narrowed down his choices to three — all women: former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.

In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Nader said that having a woman as his running mate is crucial, given that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is Hillary Clinton. “We need to ensure that we have the support of women voters,” he said.

Explaining his conflicted mind, Nader added that “all three women are recognized leaders and have the political experience on both the state and national levels. I am very impressed with their bold and intelligent stance on issues important to the voters — from immigration, to health care, to gay rights. They are all model soccer moms. Any of the three would be a darling of the religious and conservative right as well as the sparsely-populated states in the south and midwest.”

“In terms of media appeal, they represent the spectrum of endearing personae. They are all great public speakers and it’s hard to choose among Palin’s high-pitch tone to Brewer’s baritone voice to Bachmann’s nasal sound. It all boils down to who is the most telegenic of the three,” Nadal said with a wink in his eye.

Nader is expected to announce his decision by the fall this year. “The early bird catches the worm,” he joked. It was not clear which of the three women he was referring to when he made the joke.
