I’ve found my share of turtles having grown up in West Virgina but I’ve never heard of a Post Turtle until my coworker Jeff sent me a forward about John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin. I couldn’t stop laughing.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid 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.’

I Googled the term Post Turtle and discovered they used the same story to describe Bush. Our world is neck deep in shit right now and we don’t need anymore Post Turtles.
