Sarah Palin a Gold Mine for Internet Humor
But shows like 'SNL' and 'The Daily Show' aren't the only outlets reaping the comedic benefits of Palin's folksy "charm." The Internet is ripe with parodies and satirical takes on the VP candidate's interview performances, lack of foreign policy experience, and level of religious fervor.
The InterviewPalin site automatically generates random responses to questions in her trademark incoherent manner -- filled with political buzzwords, non-sequiturs, and thought fragments. RemixSarahPalin.com asks you to "help Sarah make sense" by remixing the audio of her responses from interviews and the debate.
Less interactive, but no less hilarious, is the mock Facebook profile posted at the Holy Taco humor blog. The great Photoshop job spoofs her lack of foreign policy experience (her 'Where I've Been' application lists only Alaska), her religious beliefs (she belongs to the group 'Evolution Shmevolution'), and her interview with Katie Couric (added Couric as a friend, only to remove her three hours later). Our favorite joke though is the wall comment from Jesus who proclaims, "You like me. We get it."
There are other great details in the fake profile check it out, but be warned it's not safe for work. [From: Telegraph]

And that is racist and sexist.
You may laugh at white woman but not a black man. Shame on the Journalism of America with it's double standard.

It's racist and sexist of you to see racism and sexism as issues where they are not issues. You're new to this whole "thinking" thing, aren't you?

I can't wait to see Sarah Palin impersonate Tina Fey who is
not in her league. Sarah will get the last laugh. Tina Fey is
fey and a smart a--and her buddy is a smartAlec

It is unbelieveable how frightened the Democrats are of Sarah Palin. They have been in a spastic frenzy since she came on the scene trying constantly to discredit, insult and demean .her. She is the most refreshing lady to come along in a long time. The left winged news anchors cannot stand a strong lady who can stand up to them.. I hope to see a lot of her in the future. She is the epitome of who and what made America great.

You're right - believing that dinosaurs walked the Earth four thousand years ago is very 'refreshing' for a politician.

Sarah Palin is the joke of the month. She has not helped McCain. Cindy McCain said the McCain camp would not put across any nasty campaign television ads. What was she drinking?

Sarah Palin is the dumbest VP prospect I ever saw. She is even dumber
than Quayle or Bush . Tina Fey has her nailed perfectly with looks,
style & dumb words - many of Tina's words are the same as Sarah's.
Sarah is cute & funny & folksy, but not nearly smart enough to be
VP , let alone president. She is clueless on issues.
McCain screwed & showed bad judgment when he picked her
for wrong reasons.

WHO ARE THE REAL AMERICAN TERRORISTS:
Jake Tapper of ABC News and Dana Milbank of The Washington Post are reporting that the tone being set by McCain's pit bull, Sarah Palin, has crowds turning ugly at campaign events. Terrorizing reporters just like a Pit Bull.
Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."
This does not appear an isolated incident. Yesterday at a McCain rally, after McCain asked "Who is the real Barack Obama?" a member of the audience yelled "Terrorist!" And so on.
And, lest you think that these are reporters with active imaginations, ask yourself why the press is not allowed to mingle with the crowd at campaign events?
When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?'' and turn the person around.
When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn't allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, negative things had been written.
With Palin employing "Barack the Boogieman" rhetoric, and a speaker at her rally invoking the "Hussein" card, it's not hard to see why the McCain campaign wants the press to stay in their cage, but these things have a way of getting out of control.
It seems as though McSame and Palin are promoting home grown terrorism since they are behind in the polls and now want to resort to desperate tactics. But we all know that this is who they truly are...wolves in sheep clothing. Palin with her spousal affairs and McSane who dumped his sickly first wife. They have no morees..

The media and "SN" shy away from making fun of Obama because
of his race or asking him "gotcha" questions We don't need
another crybaby such as Bill Clinton, who throws a fit each time
he was asked hard questions.

Given some of your comments, I thought you would appreciate that I have started using a new "verb" at work -[to] palinize - the need to lower expectations.

"SNL" Sarah Night Live Ironically, Sarah Palin saved SNL
with her shining personality --no thanks to Tina Fey-- as SNL
was crap for seven years.

What about Joe Biden talking passionately about how FDR came on TV and calmed everyone down after the stock market crash of 1929? Only problem was there was no FDR and no TV at the time. Now that is truly funny!

And we cannot forget the classic from Joe where he is compelling the cripple guy to stand up and take a bow. You cannot create that kind of humor on SNL.
