Sarah Palin on Leno, Interview & Stand-up Comedy…

Sarah Palin on Leno -- videos, Pummels Letterman in the Ratings

Former Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin turned into a standup comic on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show, dropping one-liners about the White House, Congress and Tina Fey — the 30 Rock and former Saturday Night Live star known for her impression of the ex-Alaska governor.

I find it even more satisfying that Letterman, who in his not-so-very-funny years as an aging, egomanical comedian, goes out of his way to mock and malign Palin… poetic justice here.

Jay Leno had a solid second night back on “The Tonight Show” Tuesday night, thanks in part to a special opening monologue from his lead guest, Sarah Palin.

Mr. Leno easily won the late-night ratings competition across the board with 5.8 million viewers and a 1.6 rating among the 18-49 audience that NBC always points to as the main measure of success (because of advertiser preferences for that group.)

ABC’s “Nightline,” which only gets measured for a half-hour vs. a full hour for the other two shows, trailed with 3.3 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 measure.

It’s VIRGINIANS, Stupid!

Amplifyd from directorblue.blogspot.com
Papa B sent this one in:
When Abu al-Zarqawi died and George Washington met at the Pearly Gates. George slapped him across the face and yelled, “How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!”
Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, “You wanted to end our liberties but you failed!”
James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, “This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!”
Thomas Jefferson was next, beating al-Zarqawi with a long cane, and who snarled, “It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence.”
The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist Leader.
As al-Zarqawi lay bleeding and in pain, he beseeched Allah, “This is not what you promised me.”
Allah replied: “I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?”Read more at directorblue.blogspot.com
 

“I Tried To Stop Smoking By Telling Myself I Just Didn’t Want To Smoke, But I Didn’t Believe Myself”

But that’s not what the doctors said. The actual wording of the report is this:


“Continue smoking cessation efforts, a daily exercise program, healthy diet, moderation in alcohol intake, periodic dental care, and remain up to date with recommended immunizations.”

From Alan Colmes’ Liberaland:
Drudge showed a picture of President Obama drinking a beer and linked to a story in the Daily Mail with the headline: “Barack Obama should drink less alcohol and try harder to kick his smoking habit, doctors say.”
From Another Black Conservative:
So in all fairness, despite the left being extremely cruel about Bush’s past drinking problems, I say leave Obama alone on this one. If the brother needs a beer or two to unwind after a day of spending us into oblivion, then let him be. Just one bit of advice I would give Obama: please drink the cheap stuff we’re broke!

This is another perfect opportunity to blame Busch, er, Bush

The guy’s got a million reasons to drink. Tanking poll numbers, wife’s a bitch, running out of things to blame Bush for, making Tingles look attractive etc…

Obama Spanks His Monkey Lady

The New York Times hired a real reporter. John Edwards remembered his wife is ill.... Professors on every campus across the country immediately ceased lecturing on "The Evil That Is America: The Jena Six" and announced a new course on "The Evil That Is America: The Carpentersville Monkey Woman".

Levitating in his hotel room as he relaxes between rallies, Senat... read more

In Carpentersville, Illinois, the magnolias may not exactly be made of steel but they come generously festooned with political razor wire as Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski found out. Linda is by way of being a local Village Trustee and obviously moonlights as a neighborhood busybody.
Seeing two local kids playing Tarzan in a nearby magnolia tree, the horrified Trustee, eagerly exercising her Trusteeship, bustled over to the watching parents and remonstrated. The little whippersnappers could get hurt. Worse, they could damage the tree which “is not there for them to be climbing in there like monkeys“.
Just another spat with the next-doors except for one small thing. The little whippersnappers weren’t Typical Rebukable Whippersnappers. They were African American Whippersnappers and therefore carried about with them secreted in their melanin count the Suffering, Humiliation, Degradation, Discrimination and Torment of Centuries which can Never Be Sufficiently Atoned For.

Politico is reporting that C-SPAN’s cameras picked up audio of “Plugs” Biden chatting casually with participants at the White House Healthcare Summit at Blair House.
“It’s easy being vice president—you don’t have to do anything.” Whoever he was talking to said, “It’s like being the grandpa and not the parent.” “Yeah, that’s it!” replied Biden.

Ed Morrissey of Hot Air reminds us Plugs is such a fabulous target for lampooning that pundits should demand a “Biden Appreciation Day.”

Biden’s spokesman, Jay Carney, was quick to point out that the vice president was “obviously joking, as any review of his schedule and responsibilities would make abundantly clear.”
