In my opinion they both did an incredible job of revealing Sarah Palin's stunning lack of ability, intelligence, and political acumen.
Fey did it through her dead on impressions of the Lunatic from Lake Lucille, and Couric did it with one simple question.
There must be a secret in there somewhere that you "can't talk about yet".
ReplyDeleteMy iPad won't load the video for some reason but I bet I can guess the one question!
ReplyDeleteIt still really is astonishing that someone who actually got that close to running the world's most powerful nation- could not name ONE THING she read. And she even had all that time to think of something while she was brushing off the question with her first two NON answers!
When Palin devotees call this interview an "ambush", I really don't understand how they say it with a straight face.
Sarah Palin had JUST said "just because I only recently obtained a passport it does not mean I lack foreign policy credibility. I READ voraciously and learn about other cultures and nations through their news and through books and articles about them".
And after THAT, she didn't think to prepare an answer in case someone thought to expound upon HER own statement of "I learn foreign policy by reading"?
I too agree that was a turning point if not THE turning point. Even a little child can answer the question "what do you read?"
And that Sarah tried to make it as though Katie were somehow demeaning Alaskans by asking "what do you read?"- that really should have been the end of Palin right there.
I don't care what SOWah says. Katie Couric did not sling "gotcha" questions but, instead, lobbed softballs. The underlying fact was SOWah knew she didn't know anything and paniced. Just like a kid caught in a lie, the "deer on the headlights" look, the stammering, and subsequent blaming of others for the deceit.
ReplyDeleteShe'll never be taken serious again and that's what burns her. I must say that was one loooooong 15 minutes!
And best of all, Tina could turn off that awful screechy voice, dontcha know?
ReplyDeleteSara Palins does a good job of revealing her own ignorance and lack of ability every time she opens her mouth. Sitting among a pile of newspapers on the Today show last week, she finally showed what she reads--the sports page.
ReplyDeleteIt's God's will...
ReplyDeleteHa! On her death bed Scarah will still be making stuff up and in denial when it comes to Katie. After 100s of grandkids she can't admit to, she will be trying to prove it was lamestream gotcha that made her look bad. Scarah, the unhinged one. Why won't she do something of value with her celebrity name?

Palin has a Easter FB post with 3 pictures - one of Piper, one of Tripp and one of an SUV showing the snow covering it. Instead of the SUV, the 3rd picture should have been Trig....
ReplyDeleteI noticed that also too - sad
Delete....... the 3rd picture should have been Trig.... Not on planet Palin. How on earth could Palin remember what she read? She can't even remember her own children or grandchildren!
DeleteHERE is the girl that has it all!
STAR OF HIT REALITY SHOW, LIVING ON HER OWN, EARNING HER OWN MONEY, ENGAGED AND PREGNANT!
Snooki has confirmed that she’ll be filming the next season of Jersey Shore while pregnant; a lot of people are, understandably, perplexed as to how this is possible, given that the show is primarily driven by most of the cast being really drunk, most of the time.

BRISTOL PALIN IS JEALOUS. Poor Bristol, stuck in the past with same old tired script from years ago. He owes her money, he doesn't see son.... whiner's blah blah blah that never ends
Someone get Bristol a new script writer!
Tina Fey is my favorite actress along with my girl Amy Poehler...I just watched "Baby Mama" the other day!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Baby Mama Drama...Baldy just sent a public FU to Levi and Sadie by posting a Easter message....2 HOURS ago on FAKEBOOK...dang that Bailey hangover must have have been ROUGH!
She babble something about "florescent eggs in the snow"...and then posted a picture of Pamper Palin and TRIPP next to a snowbunny!
Uh...Baldy....what happened to Trig? Maybe Trig kept throwing snowballs at her big giant size target head and she wasn't able to get a picture of the little guy! LOL!!
Anyway here's the link to the shit!

I am anxiously awaiting Nancy's biblical inspirations for Mercede.
DeleteNo Trig????
DeleteIsn't that supposed to be her son? Like Pictured Piper is her daughter?
The third pic has Trig in the driver's seat, mebbbe?
DeleteHa, getting late, gotta go out and make the kids come in..... good luck with that, Wonkeye! Unless you painted them fluorescent colors, they'll just blend in with the newly fallen snow, which added to the already record breaking snowfall in Alaska this year. Also, quoting Pope Benedict, are we? Guess Pastor Muthee was busy witch hunting?
What a maroon!
I have always felt that Tina Fey saved America from disaster with her great impression of Sarah Palin. Couric helped too with her offhand question about what newspapers Palin read.
ReplyDeleteI am eternally grateful for them. Strong, accomplished women, both of them. Role models for our younger women.
" Happy Easter! Today Christians everywhere celebrate the risen Lord.
ReplyDeleteIn his sermon yesterday, Pope Benedict summed up the lessons of Easter
quite simply: “Life is stronger than death. Good is stronger than
evil. Love is stronger than hate. Truth is stronger than lies.” Sarah Palin Easter FB
“They know I know things. I can tell you [Sarah’s] not happy with me, but she can’t do anything about it.” Levi Johnston

DeleteI Was Embarrassed By Sarah Palin Hosting The Today Show
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mediaite.com/online/bryant-gumbel-i-was-embarrassed-by-sarah-palin-hosting-the-today-show/
I teach both undergraduates and graduate students at a post-secondary institution. Sarah's behavior reminds me of the weak student who is not happy with the grade they received on an assignment or exam. Instead of meeting with the professor to discuss what they can do to improve their grade they start complaining loudly and stamping their feet in an effort to have their grade changed. I will ONLY change a grade if a mistake was made. However, I know for a fact that this strategy works well for some students. Bet Sarah was one of them.
ReplyDeleteON Saturday Night Live Tina Fey made Sarah Palin look like a TOTAL IDIOT
ReplyDelete...by repeating Sarah Palin's words
...verbatim.
Don't forget Charlie Gibson and her response to the Bush Doctrine.
ReplyDeleteHi there Gryphen!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tip you and your readers off to the hilarity that is Tina Fey's book, "Bossypants", only the AUDIOBOOK version! Tina narrates the whole thing herself, doing all her hilarious voices and sounds effects which one would miss by only reading the book.
I got my copy from the local library; any of you should be able to borrow a copy through an inter-library loan or the like.
Please enjoy!
Tina is my hero!
ReplyDeleteShe was on our local public television station just after her snl appearances, and she said what made the script so appealing was it was verbatim, and after meeting Sarah backstage, Sarah didn't seem to grasp they were her own words. Tina got the wink AND the eyeroll perfect, but refused to imitate Sarah for the host.
I read her book, but now I MUST get the audio version after reading Andrea's comment.
