You know I started listening to this because I am a fan of Louis C.K.
But after awhile I started thinking, "Damn, he makes a pretty strong case."
I love his mother analogy, because there is something innately true about it.
The "If you're a Liberal who's not going to vote you're a POS" line was pretty good as well.

Sarah Palin on Seth Meyer last night.
In the first part Palin talks about receiving an apology from Louis CK concerning his drunken tweets about her.
There are some websites claiming this did not happen, but according to the comedian it did:
“I’ve never in a million years apologized for anything I’ve said,” C.K. told Howard Stern in a recent interview. But this time, he said, “Something came over me emotionally.” Palin was the one who approached C.K. to tell him she thought he was funny — and that’s when he decided to say sorry for the Twitter rant.
Speaking of apologizing, when will Palin apologize for this?
Yeah nothing racist about that.
Now in the second part of this video Meyers asks her about Donald Trump.
Here was her response courtesy of Salon:
Meyers asked why Palin thought Trump has taken off in the last six months since Palin made a joke about how much Lorne Michaels would pay her to run for president again, particularly if Trump was her VP nom.
Her answer: “Because he’s not a politician, thank the Lord.”
Meyers was quick to remind Palin “you were a politician … not only were you mayor, you were governor. Yet, you don’t think experience is important?”
Yeah, you know Palin seems to have a little cognitive dissonance around the fact that not only was she a politician, she also worked with Democrats in Alaska, and ran for VP on the Republican ticket, before she decided that Washington sucked, Democrats are the devil, and everybody holding office is corrupt.
In this next clip Palin, a former governor, makes ignorant statements about the Syrian refugees that Seth Meyers, a comedian, has to correct.
This courtesy of Raw Story:
The former half-term governor of Alaska and failed vice presidential candidate defended U.S. governors who have said they would refuse to accept any immigrants fleeing Syria’s brutal civil war after Islamic State militants killed 129 people in Paris.
“Their message is not, we don’t want Syrian refugees,” Palin said. “Their message is, what is the vetting process? How do we know that these are the innocents who are coming over and actually needing aid, and they’re not the bad guys infiltrating under the guise of refugee? And they want a vetting process, because we don’t have that from the top, we don’t have that at the federal level.”
Meyers, the host of NBC’s “Late Night,” told Palin there was a vetting process — and he quickly sketched out how it works.
“In order for any refugees to come in, it is, like, an 18- to 24-month process for them to get through,” Meyer said. “It starts at the UN, and then it comes through multiple government agencies here in the states. Is it maybe just that, at the core, I think there’s just a lack of trust across the board of the federal government? Do you think that’s what these governors are really saying, that ultimately anything the federal government tells them, they don’t trust?”
Palin of course quickly states that she does NOT trust the federal government and suggests that neither should Seth.
Which then led Seth to suggest that what the Republicans were doing was fear mongering, and to point out that the majority of the people trying to come to this country are doing it so that they can enjoy the same freedoms that he and Sarah Palin enjoy.
Palin actually had to agree that he was probably right about that.
I know a lot of people were disappointed that Seth Meyers had Palin on the show, but I thought he did a pretty good job, and as usual she looked like an enormous idiot.
Oh, and there was apparently NO talk about her book. So all Palin had to sell last night was stupidity.
As usual.

Sarah Palin invites former adversary Louis CK to Alaska, and a mega-star credits Palin with her success.
Maybe a bit of the, um, "uniqueness" of #SweetFreedom - now the #1 Christian book and #1 devotional in the country -...
Posted by Sarah Palin on Wednesday, November 18, 2015
I don't know Mr. CK, but if he wants to come up for a fishing trip, where he won't end up bludgeoned on the bottom of the boat along with the fish, he should drop me a line.
In other news which is sure to get Palin some undeserved attention, it turns out that the singer Adele is giving her some hopefully tongue in cheek credit for her success.
Courtesy of the Hamilton Spectator:
The 'Hello' singer doesn't think she'd have done as well Stateside if the controversial politician hadn't rearranged an appearance on iconic US TV show 'Saturday Night Live' to co-inside with her own performance on the programme.
She said: "[I had] huge luck, I got 'SNL' - I've done it once and I think I'm doing it again - and the week I was doing it was supposed to be a normal week and the week after Sarah Palin was due to be on but something came up on the campaign so she did the week I was doing it with Josh Brolin.
"It was one of the most watched 'SNL's ever and it was two weeks before the Grammy ballot, where people decide what they want to nominate, the stars aligned for me.
"The album shot to number one on iTunes, then I was nominated for a Grammy, it was a joke. All thanks to Sarah Palin."
Well I agree that Sarah Palin's a joke, but not one funny enough to have launched the career of such a gifted singer.
I personally am a big fan of Adele's and I am certain that a talent like hers did not require any help from the likes of Sarah Palin.
I am also aware that Palin will use the crap out of this to help promote herself, and this pathetic book of hers.

If yesterday's attempt to take credit for inspiring Hillary's "Scooby Van" did not convince you of the depths of Palin's pettiness, this should do it.
Surprised a recent dust up with Hollywood became an actual news story today – People magazine pretty much summed it all up (http://www.people.com/article/sarah-palin-is-a-Louis-CK-fan-after-his-apology-for-mean-tweets). A takeaway, though, is that wearing ammo in my ears was purposefully not a subliminal message; it was blatant in contrast to liberal MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry's choice of earrings.
Okay this took me a second because I did not know the context of MHP's tampon earrings, however as it turns out she wore them on her show as a protest against Texas signing that abortion bill in 2013.
Of course Palin wore her bullet earrings during SNL's 40th Anniversary in a desperate attempt to attract attention.
The rest of Palin's ghost written post has to do with an apology that Louis CK admitted to Howard Stern that he delivered to Palin during that SNL appearance.
Palin of course was so excited that somebody was actually talking about her that she immediately rang up People magazine to give her side:
"Maybe it surprises people, but I was sincerely humbled and appreciative," Palin tells PEOPLE of her encounter with the comedian at the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special's after-party in February.
Yes it does surprise people, and they don't believe you.
Louis C.K. told Stern that he's "never in a million years" apologized for any of his jokes before, but added that that night, "something came over me emotionally and I said, 'Well, I owe you an apology.' "
That's where Palin picks up the story: "I had to ask C.K. what it was he was apologizing for. ...C.K. explained he'd said some things about me and was sorry, and went on with such a nice, humble apology. I laughed and said he didn't need to apologize, for I hadn't even heard it. Then I teased him that, 'If you really did say nasty things about me, well, then you're the only person to have ever said mean things about me, so for shame!' "
By a show of hands who here does not believe that Palin has a little book where she jots down the name of every single person who ever said anything even remotely critical of her.
Yeah me too.
"I wish I could have spoken with him longer. And again, I sincerely appreciated his unexpected and character-revealing apology," she says. "I think he's the only one in Hollywood who's ever done that."
And he's the last one who ever should.
I have said it before, and I will say it again, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, should ever apologize to Sarah Palin. It just sets a bad precedent.
Now I realize that some of the things that Louis CK said were pretty horrible, but trust me she deserved every single nasty epithet, and so much more.
The woman is a nasty, hateful, destructive, force of nature, that destroys the lives of everybody who gets close and who grifts from the most ignorant, pathetic group of barely human like beings on this planet.
If you apologize to her that lends legitimacy to the idea that she is a victim. But she's no victim.
Was Genghis Khan a victim?
Was Joe McCarthy a victim?
Was Judas Iscariot a victim? (Okay well actually he might have been.)
Sarah Palin is no victim. And apologizing to her is akin to saying you're sorry to a KKK member for splashing mud on their nice white outfit.
Don't do it!

Louis CK: Of Course But Maybe - Oh My God
I think this is one of the most brilliant comedy bits in years.
Louis CK pushes you to the very edge of what is comfortable, and then laughs at your reaction.

Louis C.K. has an interesting, and humorous, take on Father hood. Seemed appropriate for today.
I cannot say that I share too many of Louis's trepidations about being a parent, but I do share the fact that on some days I could certainly do a better job at it.
And yes, when you become a REAL father and not simply your wife's assistant, you become a much better parent. Sadly I was forced to do that after a divorce, but I have confidence that married men can do that as well.
They just have to want to.
