Joke 1
INTERVIEWER: Governor, Palin, were you surprised when John McCain selected you as his running mate?

PALIN: 'Get your hands off of me.'
Joke 2
Governor Palin, speaking on the campaign trail with John McCain:
"Democrats like Barack Obama and Joe Biden are criticizing me because I was the mayor of a small town -- Wasilla, Alaska. They say I don't have the experience to serve as President, if that becomes necessary.
"What those Liberals don't understand is that I am one of you -- the People. I'm not just a resident of Alaska; I'm also a mother, a wife, and a parent of five children. I know what issues matter to stay-at-home-moms. And if elected I will address those issues.
"I will work to protect young people from the violence of Eskimo gangs, and reduce the wild wolf population so your children can walk to school safely."
