Fey Reprises Palin Role for SNL to Devastating Effect (VIDEO)

without comments

If you didn’t get a chance to catch SNL last night, Tina Fey did her Palin impression again against Joe Biden in the VP debate. Best bit: marriage is between two unwilling teenagers.

Also, a nice reference to her Miss Alaska talent competition flute playing (That video can be seen here.)

Last night’s SNL skit can be seen here.

Fox News Metric: Palin Wins Debate, Her Flag Pin Was Bigger (VIDEO)

with one comment

Yesterday morning Fox News declared Palin the “hands down winner” of the VP debate due partly to the fact that her lapel flag pin was “about three times the size” of the one worn by America hating commie, Joe Biden. 

Insinuations about Biden’s patriotism aside, Fox failed to note that Palin’s “pin” was in fact a jewel adorned broach, an item of jewelery usually worn by women— which may explain why Biden wasn’t wearing one.

Moreover please note that in the Presidential debate, America loving patriot John McCain was not wearing a flag pin at all, while the anti-American Muslim, Barack Obama was.

On that day Fox News failed to declare Obama the winner based on the fact that he was wearing a pin and McCain was not.

Palin Unable to Name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade (VIDEO)

without comments

Here it is. CBS has been teasing this one for a week and finally the tape is out. Sarah Palin cannot name another Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade. Palin, doesn’t completely choke with her answer as she did with Gibson and the “In what sense, Charlie?” dodge. But nevertheless, she clearly can’t think of a case and meanders around a bit in talking points until she figures she’s run out the clock.

Video clip here.

Sarah Palin Has Never Seen Russia from Alaska (VIDEO)

without comments

 

You know the whole, “We can see Russia from Alaska” thing? Turns out Sarah Palin has never actually seen Russia from her home state of Alaska. Never. Not once. Nope. It’s just something she says, but isn’t actually true— you know, like telling people you sold your jet on Ebay or that you said “No thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere when you didn’t. Nice, but not true.

Check out the clip here.

Yikes! CBS is leaking that they are holding back one juicy piece of footage from the Sarah Palin Interview with Katie Couric. And it’s that Sarah Palin was unable to name any Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade.

Tina Fey’s Palin Portrayal Not Fiction! (VIDEO)

without comments

 

In this clip Olbermann compares, side by side, the actual Sarah Palin interview on CBS with Katie Couric to the “fictional” interview with Fey as Palin and Poehler as Couric on this weekend’s SNL.

Turns out Tina Fey’s lines were not “written” they were real and accurate quotes from Palin herself. My God, I thought it was just brilliant comedic writing. Turns out Palin is a comic genius! (I think I’m beginning to like this woman.) Comparisons begin 45 seconds into the clip.

Another Reason to Seriously Fear Sarah Palin

without comments

 

“Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago—about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct—the teacher said.”

Palin told him that “dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time,” Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said “she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks,” recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.

The idea of a “young Earth”—that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago, and dinosaurs and humans coexisted early on—is a popular strain of creationism.

McCain Camp Pushing Pre-Election Wedding?

without comments

New rumor is that that the McCain team is pushing for a pre-election wedding between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston. I just don’t believe it but here’s the story:

Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”

There is already some urgency to the wedding as Bristol, who is six months pregnant, may not want to walk down the aisle too close to her date of delivery. 

As I’ve said before I think there is no way this happens, but I guess you never know.

As Mayor Palin Got $25K in Gifts, Zoning Aid

without comments

 

From the Associated Press:

When Palin needed to sell her house during her last year as Wasilla mayor, she got the city to sign off on a special zoning exception— and did so without keeping a promise to remove a potential fire hazard.

She gladly accepted gifts from merchants: A free “awesome facial” she raved about in a thank-you note to a spa. The “absolutely gorgeous flowers” she received from a welding supply store. Even fresh salmon to take home.

Palin Talks Russia With Katie Couric (VIDEO)

without comments

My personal opinion is that this is getting really really bad. As I said here, maybe they shouldn’t let her talk.

In the clip Sarah defends her comment that living in Alaska endows her with expertise in Russian affairs— And Canada too!
