You know, we really shouldn't be joking about this anymore. I'm starting to get really freaked out at the thought that so many people in this country can watch this and not go "WTF???"
Sarah Palin is more like a SNL character than Tina Fey.

Reddit!
Sigh....but in all fairness, we need to make fun of the other side and keep it balanced...
Obama has big ears.
That's all I've got.
So we're voting for the Moron and the Vice-Moron? Here's my saying and i live by it...
Anyone capable of getting themselves elected president should on no account be allowed to do the job.
OMG & BTW! I ust googl to verifi her fayucts and she was rite!- Alaiska is right nixt to Canadia and like how neerbuy is Russia? You could swim theer! Daiimn. Sounds good to mi.
On the plus side, a Palin victory will do huge things for the female comic community. (Keep that in mind in the voting booth.)
I'd rather have 4 years of silence from SNL than vote for Palin....hey, wait--that's a win in and of itself!
Ow, that was painful.
Oh dear. I feel really icky after watching and listening to her. I am sure someone in Salem is creating a voodoo doll of her.
Quite frankly, I couldn't understand a goddamn thing she was trying to say. I need a Russian, Canadian, or preschooler to translate her ansewers. YIKES!!
She does NOT sound very presidential - "One heart beat away from being President"? No way. Is someone making a voodoo doll of McCain too? Hurry up.
Take away the L - and you are left with PAIN!!
Another fucking idiot making a mockery of this country. Like, um, you know, are you even totally suprised?
That's just painful to watch.
I already used a Ross Perot reference, so I got nothing.
That literally made me cringe.
Nice echo chamber here.
I don't understand the "logic". The blog world is saturated by squawking parrots all saying the same thing: they are "terrified" that some ill-bred country girl is in line to be the vice-president, and that she is tragically underqualified.
We're talking about a governor of a large state. Running for VICE-PRESIDENT.
However, on the other side, the guy running for PRESIDENT probably has the thinnest resume of anyone who ever stepped up. I'm being serious here. Can any of you parrots tell me what qualifications this guy has to be the leader of the free world?
Or are you just happy making snarky remarks about how a woman talks?
I think Couric's had the best week of anyone this week.
Mr. Jones - we're happy making snarky remarks about how the woman talks. We were happy yesterday making fun of Joe Biden's profound knowledge of history as well. That's what we do here at YBNBY. We make snarky remarks about people.
[Now, on to my snarky remark]
McCain/Palin: "Two Candidates One Cup"
Konichiwa.
Mr. Jones, when you say Alaska is large; do you mean by total area - where it is the largest? Or by population - where it is 47th?
You know, Obama may not have been a senator for twenty years with a record that has a ton of negotiation and senatorializing in it, or has he been a governor of a large but underpopulated state, but at least he doesn't sound like a frakking moron.
Also, Palin does have a record- one that I'm terrified of. Someone who uses government agencies she controls for personal crusades has no right to even get close to power. That's terrifying. Do you want Sarah Palin to have access to your wiretapped phone calls and library records? I certainly don't.
My birthday is in November...I used to love that (Halloween hangover as a kid from the candy overload)....
but the past two Presidential elections--and this one on the way--is making me start to dread that...
2000....well, at least they were kind enough to hang out til December and keep us in suspense
2004...Kerry gave his concession speech ON my birthday....that was a miserable day, esp since I worked for a Republican boss
2008...it's the day before election day. So do I 'celebrate' the fact we don't know yet?
I can't celebrate still having Bush in office, but this heartbeat away chick is making him look like a MENSA chapter president.
Do I drink til I forget that she's on the ticket?
Do I spend the day trying to blackmail any Republican I know into voting for Obama?
Or do I drink in the optimistic hope that Americans will make the right choice?
HEY---loophole question....if McCain dies but we keep him on life support til his term runs out, does that mean Palin is NOT the Chief Dudette?
I know Cindy would approve--why would she want to give up her First Lady status (meaning free clothes and jewelry)...
Could we play like in Duck Duck Goose and skip Palin to go with Pelosi?
Want a reason to celebrate? If you can even afford to spring for a six pack in November, I'd start with that. Drink to all of it my Sarcastic friend. In fact, you should start drinking right now. Personally, I plan to sober up somewhere around 2015.
After watching Palin's interview I realized McCain could swap her as his V.P.
choice at the last minute for this woman and get a better result:

CLC...I'm not a beer girl....but I think the drunk for the next 4 years idea is a good one...I think I'll look up how to build a still--cheaper than the gas it will take to get me to the ABC store...
So I was getting ready for work and this is replaying on Today or whatever and while I wasn't really paying attention, in the back of mind I'm thinking "Am I hearing what I think I'm hearing?" Let me formerly rephase that to WTF??? Is she being protected from the media? I've no doubt about that now. Biden's gonna chew her up in any debate. . . .
And then get lambasted for picking on a girl....
Mr. Jones, didn't you know that BLOGS are an outlet for expressions of opinion and information? Oh no, thats right, McCain hates bloggers AND the internet. He is talking about you too.
Isn't it obvious that you are in the minority? thank god.
Tonight you will see for yourelf, if McCain is ready after his little stunt with Letterman/Couric. That is what I like in a prez - an honest person.
I am looking forward with great joy to watch Biden rip the rug out from under her as she lays there fumbling with her lipstick and Japanese glasses, trying to answer the question. "Um, Alaska is close to Russia...."
You can make a drinking game out of this. Take a drink after either GOP candidate dances around the question
Take two for every time they either answer with "Alaska" or "When I was imprisioned in Hanoi".
Take three if you can't stand McPalin, I mean the McPAIN anymore. Or just turn a blind eye like Mr. Jones.
molli--I graduate in December and would like to be sober for the event, so I am going to refrain from participating....
I'll be building the still between now and January, starting the 4 year binge if McCain wins when they swear him in....
Molli - you may be implicated when half of YBNBY's readers are dead from alcohol poisoning.
okay, we can all drink, but mix them like they're from the open bar at a cheapskate's wedding...then we'll only be buzzed by the time the spindoctors come on...
Okay, okay. I just got caught up in the idea of "drinking to deal" with the pain. You don't have to participate. But if you do, and I get implicated......
I already have the answer.
Lipstick.
