I LOVED this, and think that from now on Thandie Newton should always stand in for Sarah Palin in her appearances. She is much prettier, and smarter, and her Palin accent is not NEARLY as grating as the real thing.
Besides you have to admit she is MUCH easier to listen to than the Grizzled Mama was yesterday on the Today Show!
And didn't Ricky Gervais do a spot on imitation of Brad Hanson?
Actually I have NO idea what Hanson sounds like so he could very well HAVE a cockney accent for all I know.
Halfway through the Today show Ann Curry was slobbering for attention from Sarah and Lauer was ready to suck her toes.
ReplyDeleteDonnie D...?
Who ?
Hilarious lines - lol!
ReplyDeleteSlightly OT. Watched a clip of Jon Stewart skewering Palin's feeble attempts on the Today show.
ReplyDeleteMG but Palin was Boooooorrrriiinnnngggggg.
There was a shot of her standing outside with Ann and Matt. Good Grief - what is with Palin's HUGH head on her stick-like body? The pink scarf she wore looked like an anchor weighing around her neck.
Did notice though that Ol' $cary's chest seemed to be stuffed with Todd's washcloths and used condoms.
Palin looked grotesque. On the other hand, Ann Curry looked the epitome of style and class (after FLOTUS Michelle Obama, of course).
Palin looked like crap and she acts like she's still in high school. She deserves every darn bit of ridicule she receives, and she does NOT steer political discourse in this country whether or not she and her ignorant followers think so.
DeleteEveryone’s on to her except some poor fools who think she’s going to jump-start the Rapture.
ReplyDeleteLOL! That was great!!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!!
DeleteLoved how the woman did the hand movements and winkin' & binkin'!!!
Palin On Co-Hosting Today: ‘It Wasn’t Just A Coincidence’ Katie Couric Co-Hosted GMA Same Day
ReplyDeleteFellow Fox News colleague Dana Perino asked what Palin was “really thinking” when Matt Lauer asked her the question about vetting a vice president based on experience. Palin replied, “I thought, well this could be worse, in fact I’ve had worse in interviews, you know, with questions like, what do you read up there in Alaska to stay connected with the real world — where you’re rolling your eyes like, are you kidding me? Are you really asking me such a question?” Recalling the famous Katie Couric incident, Palin continued, “And my answer at the time was, everything, I read everything. And from there, you saw where that answer got me, right?”

How funny, she had just told Katie her foreign experience was based on reading because she didn't backpack across Europe as a kid. Logically, the next question was, then what do you read? (see first statement from sarah, I read for experience). Not much of a gotcha or stupid question was it?

DeleteJon Stewart & Co. Tear Apart Sarah Palin’s Today Show Co-Hosting Appearance
ReplyDeleteStewart summed it up: “I think it means you’re cynically exploiting a manufactured notion of yourself as a crusader against a monolithic exclusionary activist liberal media, whilst actually enjoying a mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship with them — only to the detriment to the rest of the country.”

Fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about Brad Hanson, I'd missed that last article (9-2011). Brad is a type Sarah would like. I tried to find the 'Battle in the Valley' (from Frontiersman), it was gone. It was a shocking flame war about Brad the hockey coach and how he treated boys. Some parents liked his foul vicious mouth and psycho brutality towards the youth. Others were horrified he was allowed to be so cruel and abusive. Interesting to learn what was tolerated in the Valley regrading youth. Young boys like Jeremy Morlock and Track Palin must have come in contact with that kind of abuse throughout their life. The Valley way of making boys into strong men. A place where drugs were rampant and college was disregarded for many. However, the Army recruiter was there to guide the boys. Not a Palin, but other wayward boys went into the military acedemy and if they survived would join the Army. It is part of the was they raise boys up there.
“Let me know what you think about it.” What an odd statement.
Brad is 'happily' married but it is not wife number one. He is on second one now, maybe more. Carolyn Hanson, MTA, had a unique position if anyone was interested in telephone records. BWO family the Hanson's are close to another well known Alaskan blogger. Brad and Carolyn are friendly with Palins and would certainly keep doing any favors. They would never give up anything about the past. Affairs, using the phone company all is safe with the Hansons.
“I think it should be Sarah Palin,” McCain said on CBS as he broke into laughter, when asked about Palin’s suggestion Tuesday night that the eventual presidential nominee should “go rogue” in their VP selection.

Hannity wanted her insight on the showdown. “Did you know that Katie Couric was co-hosting on 'Good Morning America?'" he asked.
ReplyDelete“It wasn’t just a coincidence that I was on this morning up against some competition down the plaza,” Palin said. “I’m not sure how it all came together, but I am one for good competition."

Very funny and well done.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be pedantic. It's just that the importance of accents and Brits - well it's some sort of sociocultural neurosis.
Brad Hanson may have a cockney accent (;)) but Ricky Gervais does not. In fairness, there is some similarity to Cockney but it is a Southwestern accent. Think also Russell Brand and Gordon Ramsay, who has the same accent "poshed" up.
From there, Stewart tore apart Palin's appearance, which was more of a chance for her to push her "nonsense" than infiltrating the "lamestream media."
ReplyDeleteHere's the classic Stewart takedown: In the same segment of an interview with Lauer, Palin managed to push the notion that Barack Obama's "socialist policies" are "failing" and, two minutes later, saying how those policies have benefitted only people on Wall Street.
"Right! Wall Street! Fat cats! Reaping the benefits!...of the...failed...socialist...wait, that doesn't make any sense."
Then he nailed the part of Palin's appearance that makes people tick. First, aside from Stewart's point, Lauer asked the panel to raise their hands, but Sarah Palin doesn't have time for that. The panel was discussing Oprah's failed attempt at her OWN Network, and of course, Palin said, the problem is that she doesn't have any conservatives and patriots on her show.
"The simplicity and prejudice of your worldview, that the patriotism and goodness of something is in direct proportion only to the amount of conservatism in said thing. And that equation so rules your life that you offered that advice spontaneously to the question of, 'How do you think Oprah's doing?'"

Now that was just distasteful, crude, disgusting and stupid. Which, I understand, are also the middle names of Chuck Heath, Bristol, Sarah, and Todd.
ReplyDeleteWho knew?
There's something very Rush Limbaugh-sleazy about this and I for one will not be cheering it on, even if it's about a woman that I don't like and often behaves in a very unlikable way.
ReplyDeleteThis crosses a line and it's a horrible thing to do on TV. Even to a public figure, and especially to someone like Brad Hanson who is not. Both have families.
"Lighten up, Francis!"
DeleteSarah Palin 'crosses the line' on a regular basis. This was FLAWLESS. Very clever and perfect to point to her whorish ways.

DeleteJon Stewart Sharpens the Knives and Takes Down Sarah Palin
ReplyDeleteJon Stewart didn’t just joke about Sarah Palin on the Today show, he took out the knives and gutted Sarah Palin down to her empty fame craving core.
Stewart’s thorough deconstruction of Sarah Palin began with, “It’s Sarah Palin hosting the Today show and she was there performing a medley of her greatest hits from I don’t read newspapers to I write on my hand to that old chestnut I passively aggressively hate Matt Lauer with every ounce of my being.”
Stewart then discussed the fraud behind Sarah Palin’s parasitic relationship with the media that she claims to hate, “So here’s the thing, the former Alaska governor was actually quite good and likable in this setting. My issue was not with how I viewed Governor Palin as co-host of the Today show. It was with how Governor Palin seemed to view it… Ooh, infiltrating the Today show. I think it means you’re cynically exploiting a manufactured notion of yourself as a crusader against a monolithic exclusionary activist liberal media, whilst actually enjoying a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with them only to the detriment of the rest of the country.”
The Daily Show host took Palin’s image as a conservative crusader apart, “Seriously, seriously, it’s The Today Show. Do you really believe that co-hosting The Today Show is entering the lion’s den armed only with some Jesus fish earrings and an Iwo Jima sized flag pin? Seriously, look at that f**king flag pin. If a hamster went to the moon that is the flag it would plant. That thing’s gigantic. But Governor Palin acts like she needs to protect herself from the lamestream liberals, like garlic to a vampire, when the truth is you’re at The Today Show. You’re there to talk about party planning with Tori Spelling. To pretend that you remember who Wilson Phillips is, or to hang out with some light hearted couch banter with Matt and Ann and Al instead of acting like you’re setting with Che and Lenin and Saul Alinsky. It’s just another place for you tout your brand of homespun nonsense unchallenged.”
Almost as a public service, Stewart tried to explain to Palin why most of America can’t stand her, “But if you really want to know why some people are kind of infuriated with you, it’s not your common sense conservatism, or your Mama Grizzly tenacity. It’s the casual manner with which you accuse everybody you disagree with of dividing America while you casually and simultaneously do this.”

Love how that gal captured Palin! Kind of a cartoon version of what Tina Fey and Julianne did.
ReplyDeleteI was holding my breath as part of my medical vapor therapy,and almost chocked out laughing. The artful reading of sarahs lines was perfect. I can imagine her behind a bar saying the same thing to customers.
ReplyDeleteActually I have NO idea what Hanson sounds like so he could very well HAVE a cockney accent for all I know.
ReplyDelete---
You didn't read the Battle in the Valley and the other articles/comments on Hanson? It would give you a good feel of how he spoke. Ask around, people have to remember him. His speak, his language generated 100s if not 1000s of comments. It was mega response to his voice.
Ask around, parents will remember. Some supported his speak and behaviors, others were out raged.
Thandie did better job on imitating the dingbat's voice and her stinky attitude. Moore is too soft!
ReplyDeleteBeware, this writer is in love with the Palins.
ReplyDeleteBristol Palin Takes Dig At “Lamestream” “Today” Show, Despite Mom’s Co-Host Gig
“My mom definitely proves you can be in the lamestream media without being of the lamestream media.”

Because, Bristol, Mommie Dearest IS lame. There's a difference between laughing with and laughing AT. Mommie will never be taken seriously again by those who count.
DeleteLaura Donovan may know why Bristol has gone missing. Or Laura Donovan pretends that Bristol writes her own blog? People that pretend or believe that Bristol is there are in a bad, sad way. Delusional. Where is the proof that Bristol is still there. The un-named boyfriend in the clean jacket with painter pants is a trick of some sort. Distraction, not a worthy post or proof of Bristol doing anything current. She just cut and ran again since the debunked show. Where is she, why the games with her blog?
DeleteWhy does Bristol still have the promo for Life with Tripp? I don't think she is thinking of Tripp's Boys Will Be Boys. So why the ad? Why no announcement about the current news that the reality show went down?

Not a 'Today' a ratings jolt

"Today" has been in first place for 15 years.
Sarah Palin's appearance on NBC's "Today" yielded a small bump in viewership.
Nancy French is paid to spin so she is doing her job to inflate the situation. Putting words in Bristol's mouth so delusional fans can pretend they are dealing with a person instead of a ghost writer with an agenda.
“My mom definitely proves you can be in the lamestream media without being of the lamestream media.”
DeleteOkay...are you sure it's Trig who has Down's Syndrome and not Bristol?
I mean,does that statement even make sense?So I guess when someone stars in a film,they can be in the movie without being *of* the movie...or or you can be in the mafia without being of the mafia...or work for the government without being of the government....and so on...
And yet thousands of poor delusional boogers in this country worship that vapid,braindead twat.

I lost it when Ricky hoisted his "Meghan McCain" man boobs and licked his lips. The brits are masters at humor, and Thandra's parody of the parody that is Sarah Palin was spot on. The finger wave is a classic Palin move.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this movie is "Nailin' Palin", because you have to admit, knowing about the "business partner" goes directly to the jugular. How would they know in Britain? Do they read papers? ;o)
