One of my few posts that will not anger the Palin-bots. Though you can never be sure.
Well, she looked pretty tonight - might be the lighting and makeup :), but softer than in other pictures lately. But she still does not TALK to anyone. She just speaks and leaves. How unfriendly is that?
Sarah really needs to be in the spotlight, no matter where. Be sure to look for Sarah selling sham-wow or that blanket-with-sleeves thing on TV, dancing with stars, winkin' and smilin' on American Idol, crashing the next White House state dinner, playing golf with Tiger Woods, and taking the next month off to write her sequel to "Going Rogue." Gas up the bus; Sarah has found some states that she forgot to visit.
She was totally using a teleprompter and she once again was in charge by walking off stage without having to be interviewed or engaged in any dialogue. Even though this is a comedy show, it is a TALK show and I am pissed she got away with another stealth hit on a major show with no talk. I guess she can say Los Angeles was part of her Costco Tour. Gag!
Well that was cute. Now can i have my two minutes back? Conan is either as dumb as he seems or they made him call her Gov. Wonder if Shatner will hit on that?;o Nice choice the google acc thing. When they figure it out could you post the email add's for us.
@ trish in SW FL....You betcha and I hope so. I hope they go with the debate with Gore. That would be hilarious! Also, they should visit the Canadian Hospital Fund Raiser thingy. Ms. Palin provided a goldmine of laughs this week for the comics to mine. I can't wait.
I am going to say something nice. Palin looked great - first time in a LONG time she did not look and behave like a loon. She reads the teleprompter very well - which is frightening, because the dumbed downed Americans might buy what she is selling. I think a FOX show (one with no two-way discourse) would actually be a place where her talent could shine. Win -Win: We do not have to watch it, and the U.S. would be safe from her rambling nonsense and dangerous rhetoric. She is SO over her head when talking climate change, world events, government,the economy and - well, almost anything. But, she really seemed in her element on Conan.
Gryphen: I highly recommend you go to http://kfqd.com/podcast_info and download Hour 3 of The Dan Fagan Show dated 12-11-09. Tank Jones called toward the end and talked about Levi's upcoming pay-per-view and his book deal. He stated that details would be revealed. :-)
I know some Republicans have no sense of humor (Dennis Miller QED) but does Palin not understand when she is the butt of a joke? She seemed equally clueless when she was guesting on SNL.
Gryphen I am sorry you had to turn off the comments, but the drive time argument with the troll was the most hilarious thing I had read in days! I am still laughing. It was like reading a script for the Theater of the Absurd. This will get me through the hectic day I have today volunteering. I will think of that comedy bit when I need some stress relief.
I just want to know what kind of cars they drive. LMAO!
Damn, it sounds like I missed some great comments.
Shatner knows exactly what he's presenting and does it well. He gets the joke. Palin doesn't understand that it doesn't matter what she does, she is a joke- because she doesn't have a clue as to how she comes across to others. This? She read the TelePrompter. So let's see how the critics play it: if they liked it, it will have been her idea. If they don't think she did well, it will be some nasty advisor who doesn't have her good at heart, and she really didn't want to do it, but they persuaded her it would do some good.
Palin definitely has no sense of humor and frequently doesn't get jokes. Remember the way she reacted to Letterman's Bloomingdale joke? She said, "I don't even shop at Bloomingdales, and with all the wonderful things I came here for that he could have reported on..." Like Letterman was reporter, not a comedian.
The thing she didn't get here was that the lines she read from Shatner's book were supposed to be funny. Her "writings" were intended to be serious but were so bad they were funny.
Yes, she looked great--Hollywood makeup artists are good. They made her look wonderful during the campaign, too, remember? And she is getting deathly skinny. The thing that worries me is the incredible confidence little ole Sarah Palin from Wasilla has built up and exudes. She thinks she can conquer the world. Someone has got to stop this psycho. She's starting to give me nightmares.
I agree that Palin does not get jokes. Her posturing during this appearance, as well as on SNL, had a bit of an edge to it. She seems to mostly want to strut out and offer some type of cocky challenge to her detractors/comedians as in, "I dare you to make fun of me again...I'll show YOU." That's disctinctly different from being able to relax and poke fun at yourself in the way that competent, confident people can. There are definitely some fascinating psychological/mental health issues with $P...
This is what is wrong with Sarah Palin's bit: She read from William Shatner's book. He was reading her tweets. Apples and oranges.
When Sarah fires off a tweet using under 140 characters and abbreviations to warn President Obama about serious issues (thnx 4 God's blssngs) it looks like teen aged correspondence on a shallow level. Sarah has never shown any depth of thought. Her sense of humor is wicked; remember that snide community organizer stuff. Sarah was all about payback; she sounded mean.
If she is truly a "rising" political star, why did $P exit stage left instead of heading to the couch with Conan? Instead Conan announced actor Zack Braff(SCRUBS). Palin is a JOKE! Palin and her handlers are so dumb they don't realize that we are LAUGHING at YOU not with YOU. A big difference.
I would have been much happier to hear conan get her title right on her exit, but what would have really made me day ,is if the Discover ch. dude directly followed $P, with his disgusting tips & tales about survival amoungst the elephant herds..would of been rofl if she had been seated next to him instead of ZB..Shatner is simply too cool for tools
Conan, and any of the TV people who invite her, are just after ratings, that is clear.
What bugs me though, is that they play by 'her' rules for those ratings. Until they start putting her on the spot, all they are doing is making her look good.
I know a blod where some people are on moderation but others are not. If you misbehave or are new, you are on moderation, but known and reliable posers can post right away. That would save time.
I don't know if I am a reliable poster because I might say something like:
Forget Sarah Palin but let's see if Al would like to debate someone who really knows their stuff and has been at if for a while, such as one of the Mike's in Canada.
It drives me crazy that she did not GET the joke. It's a take on coffeehouse beat-poet readings. She was supposed to READ. She bungled it completely because she doesn't even understand the reference.
Yes, Archivist! And I am sure someone directed her to pretend to be reading, since that's the point of the joke.
So she is willfully stupid, and will do what SHE wants, and doesn't realize that doing what SHE wants makes her look all the stupider. Or was she just too damn lazy to open the book and move her eyeballs? Or does she think it's best if the audience sees her full, open winkiness at all times?
Barf.
ReplyDeleteOkay instead of just turning off the comments let's try allowing only comments from those registered with Google. Let's see how this works.
ReplyDeletewe shall see if teh google likes me now. had a dickens of a time with it on other sites.
ReplyDeleteanyhoo -- that was actually pretty hilarious. palin should be a coffeehouse entertainer.
I think I would have found this funnier months ago. Right now, I just find her cold, calculating and really annoying.
ReplyDeleteI did find the addition of the flutist during $P's part a nice little touch, though.
P.S. I just found out that I must have signed up on Google as "dog" ----- lovely :)
Okay, we thought maybe this meant she could read, but she was doing it from memory so that doesn't count!
ReplyDeleteWell, she looked pretty tonight - might be the lighting and makeup :), but softer than in other pictures lately. But she still does not TALK to anyone. She just speaks and leaves. How unfriendly is that?
ReplyDeleteAKPetMom, I think she was using a teleprompter!
ReplyDeleteUgh. Palin sucked! She doesn't get it. She's supposed to read it monotone.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hate when she uses the voice her voice coach, Priscilla Shanks, taught her. It's creepy.
Sarah really needs to be in the spotlight, no matter where. Be sure to look for Sarah selling sham-wow or that blanket-with-sleeves thing on TV, dancing with stars, winkin' and smilin' on American Idol, crashing the next White House state dinner, playing golf with Tiger Woods, and taking the next month off to write her sequel to "Going Rogue."

ReplyDeleteI think we have the next Phoebe Buffet on our hands.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to inform Mr Conan that Paylin is NOT 'governor'--she quit!
ReplyDeleteI wonder, will SNL do something on this? LOL
@ trish in SW FL....You betcha and I hope so. I hope they go with the debate with Gore. That would be hilarious! Also, they should visit the Canadian Hospital Fund Raiser thingy. Ms. Palin provided a goldmine of laughs this week for the comics to mine. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThe Vodka commercial was better than Palin's part. Shatner was his usual wonderful confident self.

ReplyDeleteI never watched the tonight show when Jay Leno was host and now I won't watch it because everytime I look at Conan I will want to throw up.
ReplyDeleteI have not posted in some time but do read daily.
ReplyDeleteGryphen I am sorry you had to turn off the comments, but the drive time argument with the troll was the most hilarious thing I had read in days! I am still laughing.

Sorry Gryphen. I refuse to watch this and will no longer watch the Tonight show. I will not give her credence ever again.
ReplyDelete10catsinMD
If you can't beat-em...join-em! Now let's see that debate with Al Gore!
ReplyDeletei'm just testing the google thing. I thought she looked good too. I wonder what next?
ReplyDeletewhat she does not get is that she was / is the JOKE!
ReplyDeleteDamn, it sounds like I missed some great comments.

ReplyDeleteJUST MY OPINION: turning off comments to stop the trolls is exactly what the trolls want.
ReplyDeleteSarah's supporters want to SILENCE the blogs that talk truth about Sarah; it doesn't matter how they do it, as long as they do it.
Turning off the 'comments' is just giving them the keys to the blog.
Gryphen, if you need help moderating comments, I volunteer to help you .. as many others on here might.
BUT PLEASE do not allow THEM to control your blog by silencing those who participate.
If you silence your supporters, they have achieved their objective.
Still and mean-spirited joke, even if she did look pretty tonight
ReplyDeleteIf she is truly a "rising" political star, why did $P exit stage left instead of heading to the couch with Conan? Instead Conan announced actor Zack Braff(SCRUBS). Palin is a JOKE!

If it weren't for the fact that I find it tiresome when people repost to correct their typos, I'd correct the above two.
ReplyDeleteIt drives me crazy that she did not GET the joke. It's a take on coffeehouse beat-poet readings. She was supposed to READ. She bungled it completely because she doesn't even understand the reference.
ReplyDeletetestes testes.... one two.... three?
ReplyDelete-ske in atx
no longer anon?
wooHoo --
ReplyDeleteDid ya catch the look she gave him before she Shat down? As a woman... I saw it... it was a 'i'm gonna git you, bitch'" kinda look. Really.
Badria ... she was too stupid to even pretend to read the book, she never opened it.
ReplyDelete@selena: Another person who'll have to move to Canada if she becomes president, then!
ReplyDeleteFortunately for Shatner, he was born there. If she wins in 2012, I won't be so lucky. :( ;)
Yes, Archivist! And I am sure someone directed her to pretend to be reading, since that's the point of the joke.
ReplyDeleteSo she is willfully stupid, and will do what SHE wants, and doesn't realize that doing what SHE wants makes her look all the stupider. Or was she just too damn lazy to open the book and move her eyeballs? Or does she think it's best if the audience sees her full, open winkiness at all times?
Or, hah, she must have been afraid that she couldn't pretend to read and actually read at the same time. That's harder than chewing gum and walking!
