Here is a mid-length compilation of the greatest hits among the hundreds upon hundreds of youtube comments replying in baffled befuddled disbelief to Palin's failure to name a single newspaper when responding to perhaps the softest softball question an interviewer has ever floated at a major political candidate. (at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkWebP2Q0Y )
I can't recommend highly enough that you read all of these, for more reasons than I can list. Primarily though, over and above the rich, thick satire and interminable humor Failin (*cough*) inspires, the below selection attests to the fact that Americans are waking up to the utter fraud that she is and realizing how much of a laughing stock she really is. Besides how Classic some of the comments are and the depth of sociological interest herein, that this is going on with such disapproval, wit, and solidarity over there (as opposed to other political sites like DU, Kos etc where you'd already expect it) is a great representation of what your average online voter, citizen, or wo/man on the street is finally and definitively recognizing, thanks to the horse's errr moose's mouth itself. Enjoy!.
Amazing. It's like there's no topic, no matter how mundane, that she doesn't have a clue about. She is going to put comedy writers out of work.
Sarah Palin reads all newspapers. Awesome.
I love Sarah Palin. She is pure comedy gold. I think she's a comedian in the mold of Andy Kaufmann. She is so funny, her humor is so subtle that nobody can even tell that she's trying to be funny.
Or, at least that's going to be the new Republican spin.
The Bible! When you can't think of a book, just pull a W and say the Bible!
It's like guessing "C" on a multiple choice test.
Of course, if the interviewer follows up by asking which testament Palin would probably have dropped that ball as well.
What the hell? Her bullshit is wearing thin. All of us have met Sarah Palin's type. Looks confident and looks like she won't blink at adversity but at the end of day she can't be bothered to really bother to think hard and be prepared. She's the person that gives the presentation off of notecards because she substitutes memorization for understanding. What a way to pick the second most important position in the executive branch.
"Let Sarah be Sarah" I hear on many blogs. PLEASE -- ANYTHING BUT.
"I read any of them that crossed my path... like the People magazine at the dentist's, and the National Enquirer when I was in the check-out line... and oh! Yes! the crumpled My Weekly Reader at the bottom of Piper's bookbag! Yes, you never can tell what you'll find in the bottom of the bookbag! Do you have any kids, Katie? Oh, bless 'em, you know how messy their backpacks can get, what with forms and stuff. But that's just part of being a mom AND the most popular governor in the US.."
god, I want to punch her
LMAO. This reminds me of the Simpsons when the German plant managers asked Homer what safety initiatives he had spearheaded.
"Uhhh, all of them"
I'm speechless.
So was she.
You'd get better sense out of Paris Hilton
I always thought Alaska was a foreign country.... thanks for the clarification
facepalm
Things I learned from Republicans in 2008:
-Going to six different colleges makes you a "Barracuda." Going to Harvard or any other somewhat prestigious school makes you an elitist.
-Telling a joke about lipstick makes you a maverick. Asking a person why they said something they claim to be against is "gotcha journalism" (this comment in reply to various freepers claiming Couric set Palin up here with a gotchya question)
what a muppet
(reply to this) -- don't demean muppets that way man. muppets are cool and fun and have talent and morals and stuff, all qualities lacking in certain Rethuglican quarters...
Imagine Palin doing a press-conference.. that would end the McCain campaign.
i love the first frame of this video - pure terror in her eyes
Warning to all American citizens: if by god McPalin gets elected into office beyond all reason and logic, you will die of stupidity. I mean it literally, you will die of severe irreversible stupidity. If you can read this, there is a very good chance you are not stupid. You cannot in good conscience vote for a ticket with this... this horribly... horribly under qualified woman. If you are still considering voting for McPalin, go see a doctor. Your brain may be dying.
She reads the ingredients on her can of hairspray for fun...
I'm waiting for her to answer a question with, "I like turtles."
The funny thing is Palin challenged the press to ask her tough questions.
Now McCain whines about it and tries to protect her from gotchas because Palin isn't tough enough to defend herself, I guess.
She can't even lie correctly...
The great thing is Biden doesn't have to do a thing at the debate just let her have the floor, she'll do the rest and commit political suicide.
The stench from Palin's brain farts must be overwhelming.
this woman is exhausting! where does she get all the energy to create soo much b.s.?
katie looks like she wants to slap the shit out of palin.
OMG The Simpsons Movie is coming true! "I was elected to LEAD, not to READ!"
"Alaska is like a microcosm of America?" This VP pick speaks volumes about McCain's judgment, and it ain't pretty. Not even with lipstick.
I was gonna comment on this video, but I have to go read all of the newspapers and magazines.
I think this will be a classic moment in presidential political history. The kind of thing we tell our kids about some day.
I read, like, infinity newspapers.
please tell me this is not happening!?!
this has to be the lowest ebb in american political history.
From the Greek, mikros kosmos 'little world' The thing is Miss Palin lives in her own "Little World"
.
As a key comment bringing all this together and underscoring its significance:.
::crickets::
the day palin power officially died! seriously, i have NEVER in my youtubing seen so much solidarity in user comments! EVER!! and this is about POLITICS, no less!!
skim the comments y'all - there are MAYBE 10 unique palin supporters - and even their defense of her is weak.
mccain - your number is up! you either shoot yourself in the foot by continuing the campaign with palin...or you shoot yourself in the foot by replacing her. choose your poison!
.
and as the grand finale to this fireworks show:.
satire is dead.
"u guys stop being jerks to our next vice presindet" (sic)
...
{NB-1: This comment was negative-voted out....}
{NB-2: I can't tell if this is meant to be serious or sarcastic. One of my favorite Simpsons' quotes ever, in the hullapalooza episode really applies here,, when Homer finally comes back to Springifeld to perform the Canonball trick and a gen-Xer comments in a middling tone: "oh, there's the canonball guy,... he's cool", his friend replies: "Are you being sarcastic dude?" then he (w' existential despair): "I don't even know any more @!@".) Either way though, the paradoxical humor versus absurdist existential doubt are magnified by the, errr, presentation, pointing to new terrain opening before us in socio-political conditions and commentary alike. My faith is that this terrain will offer greener pastures...}
