Bogus: Sarah Palin: If ice melts, polar bears can adapt

The English newspaper Telegraph printed — or rather, posted; I'm not sure if this made it into the paper — a bogus quote from Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. "These magnificent, cuddly white bears are doing just fine and don't need our protection," Palin supposedly said. "If the ice melts, they'll adapt to living on the land."

The statement was, in fact, too dumb to be true. Yes, even for a Republican, who was found wearing a scarf promoting the Democrat donkey symbol (left). The Telegraph didn't respond for comment, but they did revise the original story, acknowledging the quote's inaccuracy.

But let's pretend it was real because the comments are funnier that way.

Perhaps they can adapt to eat Republican Vice-president candidates...

Not much nutritional value there. Full of shit.

mvanhorn asks

Don't you have to believe in evolution to have them adapt?

Yeah, nothing says camouflage in the woods like a BIG WHITE FUCKING BEAR.

His prey will adapt by seeing him a mile away.
