What is a "Post Turtle?"

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.
